We’re spoilt up here, glad you enjoyed our part of the world, living in Northumberland is rough for a Lincolnshire born boy👍

Ha ha , thanks

Hello Mr Fish . So glad that your bindy windy route chose the B6318 to cross into Scotland . it is a very well kept secret and is in my opinion the most beautiful route over the border as the others are all main A roads. just a sweet way to sneak over and avoid passport control . There are always a few free range haggis to be heard foraging under the bridge if you listen quietly towards dusk or at dawn 🤓💯🎶🎬📽

[@Mrfish2015]

Ah I didn’t realise they were free range 😂

[@ianmerrett7113]

A beautiful feel good video, thank you

[@RayGoodwin-c2j]

Absolutely stunning scenery, 50 mph max on those roads I’d say. How was 8 hours on the nx, pick mine up next week!great viewing.

[@Mrfish2015]

It was fine , I have a cool cover on the seat that made a massive difference

[@helenmoody5247]

[@Mrfish2015]

[@RedfordBaron]

Those roads are just amazing you definitely for some lovely roads on the way up through the boarders

The whole place is amazing (apart from California lol)

[@James-fw1zd]

Been waiting in anticipation for this series Fish. Great footage of what Scotland has to offer 👍

[@Mrfish2015]

Glad you enjoyed it , thanks

[@stephenmundane]

It is true, “You Meet The Nicest People On A Honda”. Much prefer these relaxed travel vlogs than yet another review for the latest motorcycle that I'm likely never going to buy...thanks.

[@Mrfish2015]

Ha ha , they’re nicer to film too

[@Dave-el6qd]

Just watched episode 2 in my hotel room in Leon in Spain after having exactly the same sort of day on the bike as you had in this episode, empty, winding roads with some spectacular views and your spot on regards speed, to fast and you simply don’t see it. Keep up the infectious excitement Mr Fish cos it’s what we should all be feeling when on such trips. Stay safe. 👍👍

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks , Spain is a fantastic place to ride

[@redhedhair]

Beautiful video Mr Fish 👍 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@quentinjackson6015]

That looked to be a great introduction to riding in Scotland - quiet open moorland roads with some lovely scenery along the way. I look forward to your next instalment! Cheers.

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks

[@scottastell9415]

Liked your excitement on crossing the Border and sighting rural views. Taa for sharing the experience.

Big day in the saddle that mate. I love Scotland, must get back up there again sometime. Even in rubbish weather it has a beauty to it, but am glad to see you mostly stayed dry so far 🙂

[@Mrfish2015]

The rains coming don’t worry 😂.. the duck bike would be perfect up there

Hi epic trip 😊 never been to Scotland it defo on the list & very near the top . 9 hours on the bike that a good stretch. Your defo bike fit thats for sure . Hats off to you . Rolley :)

[@Mrfish2015]

It’s a fantastic place ..

[@willhoult]

Fantastic stunning scenery

[@johnmatheson7414]

Great thanks 👍

[@iandunipace]

Great scenery lovely country roads. Hope you changed your Horn from the English beep beep to the Scottish sheep sheep. 😂😂😂

[@Mrfish2015]

😂, it now sounds like a sheep Dog

[@ronboe6325]

Sir; you did a nice right job on this video. Props. For longer rides I finally got a Russell Day Long seat (made in California) and boy does it make a difference. Highly recommended.

[@Mrfish2015]

Glad you’re getting comfy mate

[@skydart60]

Love this series of videos mate. This is a superb one, the best yet. What a fantastic ride but 9 hours…phew. Scotland is amazing and you’ve inspired me to try this out on my NX. I bought one like you and downsized from a BMW 12 and I have to say, what a revelation. I now seek out the smallest little back roads I can find and even a little off road. The views and riding you had are mesmerising. Love your music scores and the way you pause the shots showing where you go through is excellent. Tell, me, it looks like you went for a bash plate, which one did you go for as I want to retain my centre stand.

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you’re liking .. the bash plate is by sw motech

[@skydart60]

Just checked it online. It looks like you can retain the centre stand. Is that right? Also do you fit it as I’ve heard the frame can be a bigger to pull it back inline when the bolts are released?

[@Mrfish2015]

I have the centre stand on mine .. the shop fitted it when I got the bike ..

[@skydart60]

Ah cool 👌 cheers for that.

[@oldblokeonaducati.8365]

Megget & Talla Reservoirs on a sunny day are spectacular as in my Video . The main thing to watch for beside the wooly ones are the logging wagons on those narrow roads

[@Mrfish2015]

Yeah I did see a couple but met them at the right bits 😂

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

Great video this country has such beautiful countryside absolutely amazing and why would you want a 200 mph bike when you can poodle around and enjoy and take all that countryside brilliant ride safe and enjoy

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks , 🙌

[@keithsbitsandpieces]

I was saying all the same things when we were there 10days ago , Its stunning , The road from alston to middleton in teesdale Omg 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

It really is stunning

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Scenery: 9.2/10 Commentary: 10/10 I reckon the English have the best sense of humor. I hope to visit California, Scotland someday.

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks , appreciate it .. if you get a chance do it , it’s amazing

[@Swarbrick129]

Eye she’s say look at the wee dafty try to nick my scoff 😂😂😂

[@Mrfish2015]

Yeah something like that 😂

[@Chewwy1973]

Fish I’m from Northumberland and so i grew up riding those roads. Looks like you were on A68 heading up into Scottish Borders. The A697 is even better; next time maybe. I live in Surrey now and Yes its significantly warmer in the South. Great vlog thanks

[@IndigoJo]

The map is on the screen at 2:30; he was on the Cumbrian side, nowhere near the A68.

[@Mrfish2015]

All the roads seem to be great out of town .. I don’t think you can go wrong , but I’ll put it on my list for next time

[@roelvanes1711]

Garage envy 😅😂

[@Mrfish2015]

4 …. Wow

[@johncrawford2304]

Your first wheels into Scotland were in Dumfries & Galloway pal 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

Ahh , thanks , I wasn’t sure what the area was , I came back through the Galloway forest area ..

[@johncrawford2304]

@@Mrfish2015 was brilliant watching you enthuse about roads I have ridden often enough to become under appreciative. It’s great watching someone ride them with a fresh set of eyes. I do admire you using Calimoto and Im guessing it was set to winding roads. Not sure I could do that for 250 miles. I love it but you get nowhere in a hurry. Does take you on roads seldom used tho

[@Mrfish2015]

Yes , see to winding for 95% of it .. no motorway for the rest of the

[@oldmanonapan7678]

When using Calimoto, just divide the total by 30 to give you your time, it will be right of you'll go quicker

[@Mrfish2015]

I do work out my times based around my average speed .. just pointing out to people not to rely on its ETA … I made that mistake when I first got it 😂

No .. its from cool Covers

Nice surprise seeing this video, as you only posted last video a few days back 🙂 Question for you...Why do you always ride Honda's ?? Hope you enjoyed Scotland 🙂

[@Mrfish2015]

I get good deals on them lol plus I quite like the reliability.. the Africa twins were always my favourite bikes in that genre .. but the rest just seems to happen lol

[@benkelly2190]

Great vid mate. Please be careful with that phone set up. Nowt wrong with it, as it is. Just get the cable out in heavy rain. Mine died, a few years after a continued heavy down pour. It was down to corrosion on a sensor, rendering, face time useless and camera problems. Cheers. 👍🏻 nowt to do with vibration, I might add.

[@Mrfish2015]

It’s all waterproofed .. using it for years

[@benkelly2190]

@@Mrfish2015 my apologies.

[@Mrfish2015]

Don’t apologise, thanks for the advice

I know you're a pretty big guy (I have stood next to you)......is the 500 ok for you? Especially after the Africa Twin.

[@Mrfish2015]

Yes , not as plush or Comfortable but it will do lol

[@eddale5557]

I got a 500 in april and i cant drive more than for 1 hour and my ass/ back is numless and hurting on the seat on the 500 nx so what is your solution to that ?

I use a cool cover , made it a lot better
