The Antrim Coast on a Triumph Bonneville T120 - Part 2.

In part 2 of my motorcycle ride around the Antrim coast, I continue on from Giant's Causeway, taking a break at Ballintoy Harbour before branching off towards Torr Head and a more northerly road. Eventually joining back onto the Scenic Coastal Road and continuing on to Carrickfergus. Finally, I turn inland for a personal visit before my catching a ferry home the next day.

I Matt, as a fellow Antrim lad who been living in blighty for a long time it's great to see the roads I used to play on almost every weekend on my bikes, had a lump in my throat the whole video, magical place portrayed beautifully by you, thank you so much

[@ClassicRides]

Glad to hear you liked the video Robert, and extra glad to have brought a small slice of home to you.

[@robertmeek8073]

Another beautiful film Matt. Thank you for sharing and for all the work involved in producing the quality you do. All the best, Paul.

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Paul, getting nice comments like yours makes the effort worth it 👍

[@mikerider58]

My typical ride out is Belfast, Larne, Carnlough, Ballycastle , Bilintoy Harbour for coffee ☕️ then on to Portstewart. You returned to your roots, the prodigal son returned. I've been to many places in the world but the North Antrim coast haunts me. It turned me into a singer/songwriter/ poet not professionally, but naturally, and l did have my fare share of local success but l choose family first. Great video 📹 l really enjoyed it. The Antrim coast rd is stunning.

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Mike, you have some incredible roads on your doorstep and I would imagine the landscape could allow most people's inner William Butler Yeats to come out.

Nice video, I also left NI Co Down at a young age, Los Angeles is now home and I enjoy photography and have a 2016 Triumph T120 Enjoy The Ride

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks, seems you ended up somewhere a bit more exotic than I did 😁

[@samhill3496]

Hey Matt, really good vid. Well there may be nothing evident but you have a mind full of memories of growing up there. It's good to visit a few times in life with the past that made you. I do the same at my Grandmother and Grandfathers albeit a vacant lot. It still has a certain feeling about it. It's where I grew up til 6 or 7. When they left this world. Beautiful coast. Reminds me a lot of Nova Scotia and it should. That is a 8000+KM trip for me but I have done it a couple dozen times. The draw. Next time, safe rides.

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Sam, 8000+km is quite the pilgrimage, but i totally understand why you do it 👍🏻

[@R.p.952]

congratulations, your videos always have a poetic and magnificently descriptive slant of the places and you always choose very perfect music. yesterday they delivered my new stealth edition t120 and I immediately fell in love with it. good road ✌

[@bikeroffthebeatentrack]

Another great video of my home county. We must’ve missed each other by a week or so as I was riding the same roads a couple of weeks ago. I’ve still got to post my coast road video (after my Rally trilogy series). I lived in Carrickfergus until mid 80s. Went to Victoria Primary school. ❤

[@ClassicRides]

I'll keep an eye out for your coast road video, I'll have to myself back over there more often as I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

[@Scottish_Kiwi]

great vids, wanted to ask, what jaket is that you have, I like the look!

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks, the jacket is a Belstaff Tourmaster Pro, sadly they don’t make it anymore.

[@bobscracker]

Love your videos. Makes me want to explore these beautiful roads and places. Have you ever heard of the bike mirrors by motogadget? Glassless, frameless. They look like pic in pic. Would fit your videos perfectly!

[@ClassicRides]

Glad to hear you like the videos, and yes I know of the motogadget mirrors, I like the ones I have though 🙂

[@bobscracker]

@@ClassicRides Yes, they fit your bike perfectly too. 👍

[@IanClarke-bi3se]

Been looking forward to this one so much and it didn't disappoint Matt you have the ability to not only edit superb footage but also add a certain something that is made up of music sounds you picked up along the way and just the right amount of voice over Thanks so much Oh and I notice you have a new seat ???

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Ian, glad you liked it. The seat is actually my original comfort seat, the custom one is taking quite a battering so I think for longer trips like this one I'll use the old seat, I don't mind as much if this one gets a few marks or tears.

[@IanClarke-bi3se]

@@ClassicRides how do you find the comfort seat?I changed mine last year to be honest not sure if there's much difference

[@ClassicRides]

@@IanClarke-bi3se I suppose it's bit subjective, but I found it to be a lot more comfy than the standard seat for longer journeys.

[@IanClarke-bi3se]

@@ClassicRides I think the only way to get true comfort is the king and queen seat but hell they look pants

Great vlog Matt amazing pictures can I ask about phone holder got same bike but my holders is a bit. Naff cheers Matt 👍

[@ClassicRides]

Hi Bill, it’s the Quadlock wireless charging mount. I have bar risers so I can mount it in the middle which you can’t do with the normal bar brace. But they have a bunch of mounting options so you should find something that suits.

[@andreastomblin2137]

Hi Matt from Cyprus, just wondering is your fly screen the Airblade or the Microblade from Motone customs? it looks amazing and I want to get one for my interceptor. Also I am really looking forward to receiving the The Langsett Motorcycle Tail Bag from you. Ride safe, great content.

[@ClassicRides]

Hi Andreas, first of all thanks for buying a bag, I'll be sending it out today so hopefully it'll be with you soon. I have the Microblade on my bike, in fact you might spot my T120 in Motone's product photos of the screen 😁

[@YangCalgary]

Fabulous! Would you take this trip with the RE?

[@ClassicRides]

I would, it’d be perfect for the Irish roads. Getting from where I live to the ferry would be the hardest part, but it’d be a chore on any bike.

[@lesperchard3793]

Hi Matt, great roads & views there & a sentimental journey for you. I added an extra comment in your last video to say I was going to Ladybower last Sunday as you said to let you know if I was going there, but I mustn’t have pressed send as I couldn’t find it later. I had a great day 1 of my best I think getting to Snake Pass & Winnats, I think I will definitely be back soon, I also added my mobile number as a contact but sadly you didn’t receive it. Hopefully I can sought something out again, Les.

[@ClassicRides]

Hi Les, sorry I didn’t get your message. I was away last Sunday so wouldn’t have been able to meet you anyway. Sounds like you had a great time, hope our dank weather was kind to you!

[@lesperchard3793]

It’s a visor that Arai do for some of their helmet models, it’s called the Sun Shade Pro 👌

It was beautiful the roads the ocean, maybe we could get the bg music a bit low and the engine a bit high it would make the experience more worthwhile as a watcher.
