This has become one of my favourite KZbin channels among all the ones I follow (and I follow A LOT of channels). The honest and insightful reviews; the amazing stories and beautiful locations; the creative and fresh structure of the videos; the fantastic shots that are also have a very natural and amateurish (in a good way) charm to them; the way that your relationship with Monica is shown, where she's sharing that passion with you, while also supporting you, from behind the camera; the Britishness of the whole thing (I lived in England for a couple of years, so I have a very strong connection to it); the way that you care about style, while having a taste very similar to mine; how you manage to talk about many topics and keep everything interesting... I can keep going, but the thing is that there's just so much to love here. This is truly a gem of a channel.

I had the privilege of riding a hired bike through the Dales last year. It was an experience I shall never forget. Saw in your series so many places I'd visited...Grassington, Hawes and more. Stunning scenery, but my short visit was just the tip of the iceberg. So much more to see! I'd return tomorrow if I could.

What you failed to mention, Freddie... in your comments about being able to wear the same clothing that you wear during warmer climes... is the HUGE impact that having a windscreen on your motorcycle plays in riding comfort. You are able to ride warmer... and for longer times on the saddle... thanks to the addition of a windscreen. An accessory that you traditionally did not employ in the past. Here's hoping that you will remember this lesson for future rides. Monika will thank you for it as well.
