Thank you Mark. Glad you enjoyed the video; your comments are much appreciated 😃

@@BigJohnMoto A pleasure John. Have a good rest of the week.

Normally I prefer a group no larger than 4; however we all had lockdown fever and needed a good ride, hence the larger group. All experienced motorcyclists whom I have known for 20 yrs+ PS: YES I know BMW GS is not a V Twin..slip of the tongue to check if you're paying attention 😁

I was gonna say...he mentions all twins while looking at a boxer engine haha

Try watching from 6m.30, the camera is mounted on crash bar and is solid. Previously I had it mounted on my helmet and fast movement of the head (looking Lor R) will cause "shake";

Hi, glad you enjoyed the vid. If you visit my blog and email me at the "contact me" address I'll send you a GPX of the Yorkshire trip. www.bigjohnsmotobikeadventures.com/

Thanks for your input. I have tried Tregaron to Abergwesyn but road was closed that time. I've done the mountain road from Rhyader many times, but the Nant-Y-Moch Reservoir is new to me and your route looks just my sort of ride..Cheers

Thanks for watching..this one really is worth a ride, but try and pick a sunny day to enjoy it. It never gets a lot of traffic, which is just as well as the road is single track. We did it in May out of holiday season.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. 5 of the group didn't want to get their bikes dirty so stuck to the tarmac. You're right it wasn't too challenging in the dry, but I can imagine its very slippery if its wet and the top layer is muddy

Thanks David. Yes this trip was all pavement, we had a lot of miles to cover 😎

Thanks for that; I'll ride it next time I visit

A plus one for this suggestion! I spent a few days last summer based at the ‘Fat Lamb Pub’ near Kirkby Stephen (great food and welcome for bikers as owners are classic car enthusiasts) and I was blown away by the biking roads across the North Pennines, motorcycling heaven 👍

Served three of us on motorcycles earlier this year, no problems and we did see the sign.

r u working there mate?;DD @@edwardwest5035

We certainly did Paul..but would prefer to ride in 20'sC, rather than 40'sC!!

Thanks for watching..just off to ride to Bosnia next weekend, so lots of good stuff coming. If you visit my blog and email me at the "contact me" address I'l send you a GPX of the Yorkshire trip. www.bigjohnsmotobikeadventures.com/

Hi Carl..check your email, I've sent you a message.

Hi John can forward a link to gpx file please

thank you, glad you liked it 😊 Sept 2nd - 8th

😁😂

Please name and shame.

Thanks ..yes it was pretty stupid, but thankfully a soft landing :)

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and glad you are enjoying. If you get a chance check out my Blog too www.bigjohnsmotobikeadventures.com I'm currently on my 3rd GS, the one in this video, and its up to 42,500 miles now..still going great :)

Not sure exactly where it was, but at North end of the Yorks Dales before Barnard Castle. Apparently the venue had been set up especially for some non-motorised cycling event :)

It's the cycle hire place at Grinton just outside of Reeth. Three of us on motorcycles were served no problem earlier this year. There is a sign saying no motorcycles, maybe they mean for hire.

Its very much a pedal cycle centred establishment.

You're right..not filmed during the TT. Its a public road open all year to 2 way traffic..but no speed limit over the mountain section.

The RE Bullet was perfect for this tour which included a mix of highway cruising, some nice twisty roads, some very bad surface roads and some off road tracks in sand and gravel. Its a big single and has lots of torque at low revs; which can be used by short shifting the gears..there is no point in revving this bike hard as there is no top end. Even in a high gear at low revs it pulls well. The version I rode had no ABS and no "frills" of any sort, but did have an electric start (with kick start back up). Its a tough well built bike that is easy to work on and very reliable. It coped well with everything we threw at it..and it sounds like a motorbike should :)

BigJohn Moto Thanks big brother ☘️ for the review , your video editing is too great , mountain scenes were awesome

Hi..its a good question. I'm 6'4, 193 cm and 93kg. The RE Bullet 500 is a relatively small bike compared with my BMW GS. For me it was just about OK size wise for this trip, but I wouldn't be buying one as my every day bike. You're even bigger than me and therefore I think you might just find it too small. The only way to tell for sure would be to sit on one.

Hi, Yes go ahead if you think its worthy :) John

@@BigJohnMoto Thanks!
