Is this offer live only for UK residents?

[@Thefab5150]

This channel is going from strength to strength and deservedly so. Freddie and Monica really do go the extra mile to keep us informed and entertained. Not like some channels, who put a bit of narration over a piece of a motorcycle ride footage and think that's enough. I can honestly say, this channels fulfills all my KZbin motorcycle channel needs. No need to look elsewhere.

[@flatcapcaferacer]

So you rode 450 miles on an Enfield, made a product endorsement pitch, a few stops for scenery shots, take a tour of Baffle Haus, walk around the parking lot in one day (15 hours)??? I tip my hat to you sir👏👏

[@jamesonpace726]

I've a burning desire to ride to BaffleHaus right now. From North Carolina, 'Murca....

[@catherinecarey6507]

It was so good to catch up with you Freddie at the Baffel Haus,My Harley was the Dyna Wide Glide covered in mud, and I loved the trip, Keep doing what you are doing, Best wishes from the 3 Irish :)

[@roadsweride_pt]

That biker hangout warehouse is simply spectacular, what an oasis!! Ride safe freddie

[@88davidw]

Really enjoyed this series. Amazing how you did it on the little Classic 350. I’m starting to think there’s something special about an adventure on a smaller bike.

[@spitfirefrench]

“The earliest I’ve ever woken up”, classic Freddie.

[@michaltrivium]

I am from Poland. However, after putting pair of brand new Avon Roadrider tires on my cafe racer lately I feel like member of the pack ;-) Great road trip!

[@FreddieDobbs]

That’s a slick looking pair of tyres⚡️

[@michaltrivium]

@@FreddieDobbs I totally agree 🎩

[@Adam_Adam_Adam_Adam]

I've lost count of how many times I've banged on about going to Wales in the comments here. Glad you finally came and the weather gods were looking down on you. I grew up in Wales and it still blows my mind with its beauty every time I travel around.

[@rodenheap68]

Great stuff Freddie! I really admire you for not only putting down the miles but getting such brilliant footage along the way! Bravo sir!

[@robertholland7558]

Thank you insanely crazy ladies for another hour or sanity chat.

[@hughphillips1427]

Great video Freddie, what a beautiful place to ride. 12:14 is a Hunter.

[@TheWuseln]

Lovely video! It's so cool that you are showing the normal live, normal people and stuff. Your videos make me always think about packing my bags, leave the next morning and drive to find some small adventures.

[@nikitis13]

Those two Harley's have seen more "adventure" than all those new big ADV bikes in the car park put together 😁✌

[@noahnoahnoahnoah]

Really enjoyed this and your other Wales videos (and of course all your other vids). Baffle Haus looks amazing and is on the list for a stop when I manage a Welsh tour! Also appreciate your inclusion of sponsors in a low key and genuine way that doesn’t detract from the video at all.

[@debenhamdave4314]

We really need something similar in Suffolk, Cheers Freddie

[@taffdavies35]

You could have stopped off at the Bus station in Abergavenny for a cuppa, big biker hangout.

[@paulscads3408]

Thankyou Freddie... I've now got my 125 baby and loving the freedom, views and open roads.... Thankyou for inspiration 🙏😎

[@GordonHunter]

What a service you provide Freddie - everywhere you visit I save as a favourite on Maps so I a building up some really good tours for the future - thanks so much for you efforts. Will seek out your 'buy a coffee' link.

[@nickyxrourke4923]

Hi Freddie! I'm so glad you enjoyed Wales. I've lived in North Wales for 14 years now and always get a massive thrill from this beautiful place, wether green Laning or riding my ADV bike. I love your channel Freddie mate! Come back to North Wales soon and I'll buy you a coffee. Stay safe bud

[@inkymunster1591]

I think the red Jota may in fact, be a 750 SF I used to own one. My missus used to put the kettle on early, as she could hear it from the bottom of town. Happy days.

[@richardbartlett6932]

Yes it's a twin not triple. Both beautifully turned out

[@1990-t1j]

3:29 I like the coat you're putting on in this scene, Freddie. You've probably mentioned it before, but what is it, please? Some really nice cars at that bike/car cafe. And what a great place. 19:40 I agree: that is stunning. Dirty bikes look good. Interesting video. Good series. Nick J

[@matthewsylvester3013]

I'm always so impressed with the camera work. I would LOVE to see a video on what equipment and software you use, as I really want to up my own game and you're the benchmark for such things in my opionion.

[@rosarioroberto5823]

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos

[@lukeoverthere1364]

You're certainly putting in the miles. Be catching up with Itchy Boots soon 😂

[@neilurquhart8622]

Seriously doubt that ! He doesn’t have the wherewithal (the bike, the planning skills, riding skills, proper clothing….). Plus there are very few coffee stops where Noraly rides!

[@MountainFortyNine]

Baffle Haus has to be the coolest place in Wales. On the hitlist to visit next year, thanks Freddie!

[@jeremyjs8863]

Superb Freddie, superb. You are a force for good !

[@robinwells8879]

Had a week touring mid Wales last month and it’s truly wonderful touring country. Definitely going back again... and again...😂

[@paulmarriott8645]

As always Freddie great content, then again you did have an exceptional venue. I would love to visit but it's a long way from the Lincolnshire coast. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.👍

[@JohnSmith-xw5qe]

In the baffle haus I don’t think that was a Meteor you pointed out in the cafe but I believe it was a Hunter(HNTR) Excellent video Freddie!

[@85PLD]

Looks incredible. Oli's personality and enthusiasm is infections. You're quite the double act - Congrats on another great video!

[@RonaldoBagaRonnie]

I cannot like this video enough. Magnificent scenery.

[@jordanpressman3041]

Loved this wales series, cannot wait to get over there on 2 wheels. Thank you Mr Dobbs!

[@barriekeegan1426]

Well what can I say absolutely awesome what a great video entertaining from the start to the finish I shall have to go there myself one day thanks Freddie really enjoyed it

[@GerryPowell-r6s]

What a fantastic place

[@buddhastaxi666]

Im 70 in January , I will ride that Norton, especially in Wales.

[@OwainapDewi]

I live like 5 miles from Baffle Haus and commute past it everyday, but I've never been inside, I will have to check it out. Well worth spending some time around there, check out the roads around Usk, Skenfrith, Tintern etc etc

[@jerhughes500]

Great trip Freddie, shame it wasn’t for longer as there’s a lot more to see. I stopped in Bafflehaus last summer when I rode down to South Wales from Edinburgh, on my 97 VFR 750, it wasn’t as busy as that but it was a weekday. Great place and they’ve done well. West wales next time. 👍

[@mikejenson6406]

Freddie, I did wonder how you could make a 7 hour trip interesting. Your discoveries and observations are incredible and inspiring.. Fantastic work. Many thanks Mike

[@Grumpy-Goblin]

Baffle Haus is very cool but personally I love dropping into Owl's Nest while I'm down that way on the other side of the mountains. I'd rate it as the best biker cafe in Wales and probably the UK.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Wow, ok- saved to my list! Next time, I will definitely visit. Thanks🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@DeiseRebel]

Portláirge - Waterford that's where I am from 🙂 Cool dirty bikes made for riding and fun.

If you like that type of biker/car enthusiast venue then you’ll love ‘The Motorist’ on the outskirts of Leeds, West Yorkshire.

[@andrewhayes4246]

Cool place to stop, ride safe Freddie. 👍

[@biker_dale]

Love your rides Freddie but also learning stuff as you travel whether history or what something is all about. This is a great place and I hope they get more people because of this video. Safe riding.

Freddie I agree whole heartedly, Wales provides everything a biker desires and more. I havent been to Baffle Hus yet but something I must rectify. Thank you for the video.

[@Nick_R_]

Bafflehaus looks great. Wasn't there in the years I went through Abergavenny to and from Lampeter. Always have a reason to go back!

[@KimmoJaskari]

I really am going to have to plan in a week or two at least riding around the UK. Wales, Scotland... the lot of it. Can't get too in depth in a few weeks but it would still be an experience.

[@kevbaldwin9552]

This was a brilliant series of videos Freddie thoroughly enjoyed it ,

[@tommyvandor6557]

Good jump that Freddie from Llyn Clywedog to the Elan Valley, keep the videos coming

[@nohedes]

Great video and an awesome venue. Really took me back to some of my own former cars - I had a brand new Peugeot 106 Rallye in 1993 when I was 18 (I think it cost the equivalent of a year’s salary!) and then in 2004 I bought a new Vauxhall VX220 Turbo in yellow - a great car. I now have a 2015 Defender 90 XS just like the grey/black one in the video. I need to make an excuse to visit this place, it looks like it’s worth the journey 😁👌💪🔥

[@danwilliams7554]

Move to wales then Freddie, we’d be happy to have you. Glad you enjoyed

[@maxarosio]

I love how bobby when shows off the 3 Ireland Harley's just casually passes close to a Kawasaki H1 (70's 3 cylinder inline 500 cc 2 stroke ) and a Honda CBX 1000 (6 cylinder inline)

[@stevezahn8056]

Freddie, it’s only 3880 miles to baffle house from here. If I leave now I could be there by next Saturday! Any place that has a CBX, Harley XR750. Laverda jota Nortons, a Rolls Royce, Land Rovers plus food and coffee. Is worth the trip. One of the coolest places you’ve ever shown.

[@taffdavies35]

I'm lucky, I live 10 mins away.

[@glynglld]

Hi Freddie, I've been following you for a while but this is my first comment. Just to say my local library in Solihull (and I think most libraries in the UK) gives a free subscription to all those magazines as Nd newspapers you mention in the video. Really appreciate both you and Monica. Cheers Glyn

[@markhowlett8070]

Another outstanding video. Thank you.

[@jonathangoll2918]

You made a comment about the Metro free newspaper. It's not only in London, but also in the West Midlands. As a leftie serious political freak, I also have a lot of time for the Metro. It is surprisingly well-balanced, and has a letters page with a genuinely wide range of opinion.

[@Ellis01234567890]

I googled Baffle Haus to see where it is and turns out it's 10 minutes away from where I grew up and driven past it thousands of times. I always just thought of it as "that wooden building" and never thought much of it. Will definitely have to pop in soon.

[@charlesglover6222]

thanks again Freddie , will be heading to Wales soon !!

gorgeous scenery :) watched this while completing a lab report. eased my mind.

[@leeandjancruise]

After watching this vlog we visited Baffle Haus, we had coffee and cake, far busier than in this vlog.

[@Scarletpimp72]

Hi Freddie, so thrilled you enjoyed Wales, and you timed it well with the nice weather. I was actually in Elan Valley at the same time, we were a bit gutted the mountain road to Aberystwyth was closed for the rally, but the A44 was an ample replacement.

[@antonoat]

Something for everyone surely! Great stuff Freddie! 👍👏😀🏍

[@volt8684]

Wow Fred, the roads i ride but nice to view from your point of view. I did 310 miles the other day around wales coast and mountains. Very sore bottom. That little Enfield done fantastic. Never been to bafflehaus but will be. This welsh trip one of your best though still re watch Isle of Wight a lot. Thanks for your hard work. Lack of “dare you” sheep😂

[@MsDenver2]

That’s fantastic cafe and where it is beautiful😊

[@paulmorris3022]

Hi Freddie, brilliant series as always, but in particular the Baffle Haus as it is local to me. there is another place where bikers meet up in Abergavenny in the bus station about 8 miles down the road. There is a little café there and you get around 40 to 50 sometimes over 100 in there especially on a Sunday. it is amazing to go around and look at the bikes and have a good chat with people. always nice to hear fellow bikers comment on your bike or thinking of getting one.

[@tonywilliamson4512]

Good vid Freddie, must get my self to baffle.

[@melfzs]

You've certainly crammed a lot into this video and the whole trip! Excellent stuff, one of your best! And shown the classic 350 is a capable bike, I've got some good road trips planned for mine , these little bikes will go anywhere, great video, cheers Freddie 🍻

[@FreddieDobbs]

They really will. There is now zero doubt in my mind that the Classic 350 will very happily do long distance touring

[@robertcostello9473]

I've literally been out on my 350 every day all day for the last week. I've had my wife on pillion for a day, she loved it also my son and daughter tried it. All day comfort! I was out until 11pm one night and was feeling tired and I reckon no other bike could have felt more comfortable. It's size and power makes it so usable even when you feel worn out from a long day. And every trip feels an adventure. One last thing, for the past 10 year's I've been you could say addicted to swapping my cars and motorbikes 3 times a year. I've had the 350 classic for nearly a year now which for me is unheard of. I went to the bike shop with my friend yesterday so he could buy an interceptor and looking at all the new bikes didn't get my head turned once. What an amazing little bike the classic is! Love it.

[@danweston6043]
