Superb clip mate. I very much enjoy your content. Places I'd love to visit, but without a lottery winnings unlikely. Thanks for giving me a taste of the historic beauty of the UK.

[@80eightReviews]

Morning Mr. Neutral - well, never say never and I'll hire a couple of Monkey bikes if you ever make it and we'll do a little tour around the best places. Don't bother bringing your sunscreen though :-) All the best, cheers, Phil.

Loved the veiws all around as James the 4th lingered here and there ... He was supposed to be quite a romantic .. Maybe Harp next time :) .Thanks for using the dulcimer clip .So much fun seeing how you used it ...Very cool ...

[@80eightReviews]

Morning Guy, you know, I could see you in the court with your harp, entertaining the lords, ladies and nobles as the minstrel in the gallery. Then during the day you could fire a few pots for the king! The only question is, what kind of hat would you wear? Oh..and there's the tights to be considered also... And thank you for the fabulous soundtrack, as you say it's the same but totally different to the banjo version and I think it really taps into the melancholy of the lyrics. Harp next - definitely! Serenading the King and Lady Heron...Although it sounds like James IV didn't need too much encouragement.. All the best Guy, have a cracking weekend, cheers, Phil.

Impressive buildings. Nick

Yes, it's a great place for crumbling old ruins...And that's just the A1 :-)

Excellent piece Phil, so much history in the borders.

[@80eightReviews]

Evening Hugh, thanks and indeed there is. My favourite piece of history are the stocks in Berwick - last used in 1985 when some bloke insulted a Moto Guzzi parked outside the chippy.....Those were the days....

[@JLOSTAFF1]

@@80eightReviewsYou can’t actually insult a Moto Gutless enough apparently? Just saying.

[@80eightReviews]

Sigh....let me see if there's a working ducking stool in the stores....I'm sure there's an ancient by-law I can invoke....

[@80eightReviews]

I was thinking of using it myself actually...

[@drdoolittle5724]

Such a quality production, far too upmarket really for the normal biking types that frequent YT! Anyways, you also stopped far too early, what about the glorious English victory later on, the 1st Calcutta Cup!

[@80eightReviews]

Good morning Dr.Doolittle...Ha ha well, I couldn't possibly comment! As for the Calcutta cup, well, as I live so close to the border I have to be careful otherwise the 'reivers' might come and visit and anyway with the current scoreline at England 71 / Scotland 44 it\s probably best to be diplomatic :-) ll the best, cheers, Phil.

Right let’s get the complaint out of the way, you promised me bouncy castles! None! You obtained a viewing by deception! Secondly, I didn’t realise Hugh was a steam engine driver? Still when you ride a Moto Gutless you have to get your kicks somehow! Thirdly you certainly know how to play an electrical guitar. Fourthly, we need to go into business together. You with “cracking roads and castles” and my support act “cracking jokes with Jon.” Phil, we’d make a fortune. Bound to get 100000,s of views. Are you in……? How’s your pants? 🩳🩳

@@JLOSTAFF1 It's all about the torque, Jon. I can use my Guzzi to pull carriages into place whilst the steam train's firing up. You stick to your Steve McQueen dream of jumping over barbed wire fences..

[@JLOSTAFF1]

@@mrsilbo6499 Dream? Dream!! How dare you, I’ve done it. Tried it on Guzzi once, failed! Couldn’t get above 15 mph. 😂

[@JLOSTAFF1]

@@mrsilbo6499 Anyway you’re too full of torque! 😳🤭

[@80eightReviews]

Evening Jon, complaint noted and filed thanks. Gutless...Of all the adjectives to use! As Hugh notes, the Griso can be used as a shunter, while, in Berwick harbour this morning, I attached floats to the V7 and piloted a ship into port. It tugs well. Ahem. As for the business venture, are you OK to take an online psychometric test first? And swear feality on the Haynes Workshop manual for a 1985 T5? And only eat lichen? If so, you're in! I will vet all jokes though. Pant's are fine actually, thanks. Safe and secure and none have gone missing recently...
