Off Road into the Heart of the Yorkshire Dales (Road Trip Part 3)

[@thewyliecoyote3918]

Thanks Freddie for visiting our Cafe we really appreciate it!

[@specialized500]

Nice looking cafe

[@mozdickson]

I'll be in one day I hope! a Kiwi

[@aidanrome7189]

North Easterner here, think he's convinced me to stop by some time!

[@technohamster4783]

Might have to give a go myself when passing through

[@peteodonald5440]

What a light on the horizon this young man is, every ride is probably simply the best you could experience. The little places to stay are undoubtedly as splendid as you would ever find for yoür buck and of course, his trade mark in his own words, the next coffee is without a shadow of a doubt going to be the best ever. Plus the bikes...... why isn't the rest of the world like this.... best of luck, fine young man.

[@scottydog4115]

I know you love your Bonnie, Freddie, but let's face it - you NEED a Transalp in your life! Superb episode in a great series. Keep up the great videos and ride safe.

[@millinutz]

Yep, maybe you're right @scottydog, but the Transalp still has to pass the MPRT (Monika Pillion Rider Test)!

[@scottlaursen]

I agree fully. I just bought one in the states and haven't regretted it at all

[@richardjohnson3463]

nahhhh keep the Bonnie if it gets sorted!

[@volt8684]

Keep both. Monica needs a transalp in her life too.

[@Gripperstebson12345]

I’ve been catching up on the Yorkshire road trip vlogs and am starting to think that Freddie is beginning to fall for the Transalp. With the range of accessories available it’s genuinely a really competent machine at everything. I actually might price one up myself!

[@julianp4787]

Thanks Freddie, guys like you give us respectful and friendly bikers a much needed good name! Much respect :)

[@davidskaggs9914]

Awesome roads for the Transalp.

[@ramsy66]

I've been thirsting for some motorcycle content that inspires me to get out there and ride. And here it is!

[@andyhewitt7588]

What do you mean “Grumpy men’s club”?? That’s cheerful for Yorkshire! 😜

[@BikerMatt86]

Another fantastic vid. I am really enjoying this series with the Transalp. Thanks

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really glad you’re enjoying it, thanks Matt!

[@fitzstermoto]

Yeah same here and I've been so intrigued with the new ones since they were announced! I would love to rent one to try this upcoming riding season! Thanks for this excellent series Freddie & Monika!

[@whammo11224]

@@FreddieDobbs This is the comment you reply to? Good, but you do realize the coffee shop owners left you a comment that you didn't reply to!

[@triumphthunderbird1]

From the dales, the moors, the wolds and onto the east coastline, Yorkshire has it all.

[@davemartin4456]

Inspirational Freddie. You make me want to ride everyday!!! Great video and editing nice music, truly wonderful place. Thanks very much

[@vincentvancod]

Fantastic the way you promote businesses Freddie .Top man

[@pa.laubel3696]

What i really love about this channel is its about motorcycles, history, heritage and culture. You rock Freddie.🌟

[@701Adventures]

I live right on the Yorkshire Dales doorstep and other than Scotland it’s my favourite place to ride. What makes it even better is you don’t have to pay to visit, no congestion charges, no ULEZ, just fresh air. 😂

[@mabsbry1318]

Steady, don’t give the Authorities ideas😂

[@701Adventures]

@@mabsbry1318 Yeah I never thought of that. If Mr Sunak watches Freddie Dobbs and reads the comments we’ll soon find out. 😂

[@cj83harry]

A route map would be a great addition to the description for this video. Looks like you've found some awesome trails 👌🏻

[@MrTipusss]

Your choice of music for this episode is impeccable! I swear if you'd just posted a 2 hour non stop video with this quality views and background music, I'd watch it on repeat. Thank you and Monica for the quality product 🙏

[@hondaexplorer]

Time for an adventure bike Freddie! The versatility and options you gain from a bike with a better clearance, protection etc, is just so so worth it!!!

[@ianski65]

Old Freddie, hes got a swagger that suggests enormous confidence but, talks about himself and his skills in an almost disparaging way. Thats a nice bit of honesty for sure. Lovely videos and doesn’t hesitate to treat people and property with utmost respect. Thanks old man 🖖🏼

[@leeandjancruise]

Have you ever thought Freddie about the countless miles of dry stone walls? Personally they fascinate me when you think about the history of them, locally quarried stone then transported by horse and cart back in the day and then all built by hand, must have taken years, an everlasting job. Ride safe.

[@open_water2411]

And maintained by volunteers I believe.

[@greyriddance64]

Building those must have been a sure employment back then, or what? Curious to know more about them now.

[@majestytom773]

Freddie's recommendation to pop into CoffeeEco when in the area, prompted us to stop there today. Wonderful warm and welcoming couple, and they spoke very highly of Freddie. Thanks for a lovely cuppa and homemade cakes!

[@mcscotty325]

Spectacular! The cinematography, the music, the dialogue, the editing....wonderful Freddie!

[@Andyjenkins183]

Absolutely agree!

[@NigelDempsey-h6k]

Loving the Dales trip. Very informative and fun. Nice one Freddie

[@jamesonpace726]

Yer a very lucky fellow - beautiful lands, someone else's bike, good health & a job. Thank you for sharing a few moments of what we all once had....

[@technohamster4783]

Nice video and always good to see people enjoying my neck of the woods. Ive always said im so happy yo live in Yorkshire as a motorcyclist

[@robertcostello9473]

What a lovely bunch at CoffeECO ! Bet the son filmed you riding off. Top quality viewing once again. 👌

[@egpthree2634]

Just went to the U.K. for the first time a few months ago and I'm already planning my return trip. This video encapsulates everything I loved about being there. Well done, Freddy/Mon.

[@Argo-F-Ur-Sef]

Have you studied or tried the stand up technique? Makes a huge difference, center of gravity lowered to your foot pegs and front wheel traction is much improved. Lots of other benefits as well.

[@abdulrahmanaljamea8458]

Your filming is so professional،،you have an art vision, greetings from middle east.

[@Andyjenkins183]

Turning into one of the best series yet on this channel and there have been some good ones! Top class as always from you Freddie

[@robertdaley1194]

Loved that shepherd with his collies on the quad .Brill vistas thankyou .

[@prs00001]

Your videos are incredibly relaxing and inspiring in equal measures. They should be available on prescription!

[@seanfrank4158]

I would love to come over to your country and just wander around for 5 years or so. What wonderful scenery and lovely little villages.

[@mikeyb6737]

I love these videos.

[@kaizen2049]

The couple and their son are so wholesome and sweet ❤ made my day thanks ❤

[@lauraboothdesignfreelanceg8717]

Loved this. Yorkshire is my favorite place in the world. I also highly recommend CoffeEco. I ate there almost every day on my last month-long trip to Grassington.

[@kellytoddmusiccity]

Thank you! Come back soon.

[@ColinCarFan]

Great scenery, great people, great bike, great video!

[@bazuk4953]

I think we need a ‘Long Way Down’ style series on the Transalp, with Monika rescuing all the stray animals along the way.

[@andybeahan2189]

Just waiting for some warmer weather to explore the Dales again on my RE classic 350, I'm only 25 mins form Richmond: The gateway to the NY Dales 😊

[@colinsweetman6745]

Superb videos Freddie. I have a 1998 BMW F650 Funduro and I know that feeling…I think you are falling for the Transalp . What a fantastic machine.

[@garyspath4580]

Freddie! What great stuff!! Loved every minute of this latest segment….safe travels!

[@theflyingfossil2146]

Mega video Freddie, keep up the good work buddy. 👌📹

[@kevinshaffer1047]

all that countryside...northern England...was thinking ancient history...the battles waged ...Vikings...Danes...all that history...that castle...love it....another excellent video....

[@satyarod]

That’s a lovely Transalp 😍

[@RenteaRadu]

Thank your for taking us with ya!

[@stephencox1955]

Freddie,brilliant stuff, I binged watched all 3 episodes and loved it all

[@banditman1200s]

I must say that transalp is a food for thought bike 👍🏻

[@ianseddon9347]

A superb film, a great ride! They’re right you do need a Transalp as well as the Bonnie! Thank you for a lovely set of films of an inspiring trip.

[@davebridge5775]

I love that your videos are about the experience of motorcycle travel rather than droning on about brake horse power, electronic suspension and levels of grip! Im convinced for most riders its all about the environment, the surroundings and the sights. You show this in a brilliant way. Great series so far. I sent you the bike of the week you featured a few weeks ago - Aprilia Caponord. I rode that on those very roads last September. Best region in the country by a mile!!

[@lawrencepick8286]

Top work Freddie. Of all the videos I watch on KZbin, yours are the only ones that trigger my telly to use HLG & HDR 👍

[@ticthedog6095]

Love your enthusiasm You are a great ambassador for the Transalp

[@Tartanwallet]

One of your finest videos without a doubt Freddie, stunning scenery, beautiful photography and editing and a fantastic bike too

[@darrenwarrick8865]

Another fantastic video 😊

[@pm8465]

I'm not a Yorkshireman, but you can't argue that the scenery is stunning. Monica would have burnt her camera out.

[@guyolsen3353]

Always my stop at Grassington. Where they film all creatures great and small. I Live in Leeds so Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire Moors and Lake District and Paek District all in easy reach.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Ahh I didn’t know this📹

Another fabulous episode Freddie sending you many greetings from Tokyo !! 🖖

Thanks Freddie, another great vid. Weather holding out, makes all the difference! Keep em coming 😂

[@richardsalsman1069]

Coffeeco looks great 👍

[@Johnnywoo7]

Hi Freddy. After watching your mini series it’s inspired me to get the GS out of the garage and do the same. Was planning to go yo the Dales in the summer but i think spring trip will be good. Good stuff 👍

[@tdeloriea]

What an enjoyable watch. Glad to see you stretched into other riding styles but brought your unique take along. Friday morning coffee and snow outside here in New England. Living through you.

[@specialized500]

Real life riding !

[@125ZJK]

Freddie I'm not sure if you're aware but you suit that bike perfectly. Are you sure about your Bonnie !

[@charliefreeman2260]

Fabulous tour! Thanks for taking us along. We cannot wait to get up there to see it in person.

[@offroadagain]

What a fantastic landscape, nice off road tracks! If you can only own one bike, which is the case for most married men, an adventure bike is the best choice. I don't know what I could not do with my Africa Twin.

[@walles1]

Yorkshire Dales TET is what I am planning on visit this year. Two things Freddie: when ridding on those gravel roads and off road in general its much easier to control the bike when standing on the foot pegs rather than sitting down and bouncing around. If you liked it and planning on doing some more the least you should do is get a pair or motocross boots. Don't ride dirt in road boots, its not worth to risk injury and legs are on the first line.

[@christopherreed442]

I live and work in Richmond, it's a great part of the country - I'm spoilt really.

[@Tommy-Atkins]

Spent a few nights in the Castle pub , amongst others, as a young squaddie back in ‘84 based at Catterick Garrison only a couple of miles up the road!…massive Army training area…..it can get get a bit busy at the weekends!!….shame you didn’t get to visit the Altberg boots factory in the town..been making quality leather boots for motorcyclists, walkers and the armed forces/emergency services for decades!…the town hasn’t changed at all really in the last 40 years !…great video and great bike….an “all rounder “ is a massive food for thought for a Motorcycling KZbinr methinks! 😎👍👍

[@michaelmclarney1994]

A bike of this type suits you, Freddie! Its so versatile and comfy too that I am going down the adventure bike route, hopefully this year!

[@ianfutcher1518]

Brave man to push the Transalp to its limits off road for the first time.

[@Anytwowheels2024]

Hi Freddie, enjoyed this episode immensely! Last year we landed in Harwich from the Hook of Holland and after having a “full English” in Colchester, we rode over the Cat and Fiddle in the Peak District and then onto Reeth in the Yorkshire Dales. The intention was to spend a night and then move on to Cairnryan to catch the ferry to Ireland. The Yorkshire Dales captured our hearts and it was four days later we left via Tan Hill. Sitting here typing this in 35 C heat in QLD planning our return to the Dales for two weeks this year. We spent a rainy day in Richmond so are looking forward to your next video!

[@05gt99]

You have cracked it Freddie, making a living from going on great adventures. Thanks for sharing , really enjoying this series. .

[@TheSizzlingBadger]

Careful riding off-road Freddie, its very addictive ;-)

[@colinbarber9324]

Best video yet Freddie

[@domenhorvat4277]

Lovely trip Freddie. 🤙🏻

[@jabjab1010]

I love the look of that bike as well. Broad chest, tall, looks like a Great Dane!!!

[@BlueRidgeRider]

Beautiful views! I learned on dirt but after 50+ years of mostly paved roads I have to remind myself of the one HUGE difference. When cornering on dirt, get the bike down and your body straight upright. For example in a left turn get the left arm straight down and the right elbow up! It’s amazing what a difference it makes. It goes against everything you have learned on the street but it is what the bike wants.

[@1990-t1j]

I have ridden on these roads, mainly in the early '70s. Great to see my home area. Nick

[@theeschatechannel2854]

That looks like absolute heaven and that white transalp just pops in front of that old coffee house. Freddie, I know you’re a cafe/scrambler guy but that transalp fits you so well. That’s the bike you should get and make your future content with.

[@rickparkinmoto]

CoffeeEco is a regular stop for me when riding the Dales. Glad to see you making the most of it. Do come back in summer though, it's even more breathtaking.

[@1mikefrost]

The Transalp is the most suitable bike for you Freddie . Keep the Bonnie anyway. Forget the Enfields altogether .

[@jamespressly6303]

Some of the most beautiful landscapes, and a wonderful job with your cinematography!!! 👍👍 Beyond that I LOVE the Transalp!

[@LionofSmaland]

Had one year without going to England/Wales with my Bonnie. Now I know where to go this summer, absolutely stunning, I love those country roads. Thanks Freddie and Monica for another top notch video:

[@ezioyang4253]

I love how chill you are.

[@stuartbailey9941]

Once again an excellent video. Many thanks for posting. Stay safe, regards

[@kevindarkstar]

6:00 that barn in the vid, there is one on the way to Hawes my son and myself stopped at last summer which was converted to a coffee shop and ice-cream parlour, it was fascinating

[@tdub5899]

Stunning Freddie. I'm taking notes for an upcoming UK trip..

[@muckytrails323]

Wow Freddie love it ❤

[@ianhalliwell8604]

These beautiful Yorkshire villages like Grassington, Hawes, Reeth etc are completely different in the summer when they can get very busy indeed. It's a completely different place in mid summer still absolutely beautiful of course but can be overun with tourists not to mention police looking for bikers who often think these fabulous roads are their personal race track.

[@occasionalvillain7676]

Hey Freddie , loving this series of you on an adventure bike, I’ve watched it twice ! Have fun out there 👏🏻👍🏼

[@richandiben]

I visit this part of the country on my motorcycle a couple of times a year. It's biking heaven in good weather....not so great in winter.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I can 100% see how it’d be biking heaven in the summer- it really is incredible!

[@ljubott]

Everything looks fantastic, especially at the beginning 3:05 Cakes with coffee mmmhh 🍰😜👍. I really like Yorkshire and the surrounding area 👌👀 I love roads like this and it suits my Adventure 💪🏆. Thanks for the video and many greetings. Ljubo..

I was stationed in Catterick garrison in 1987. Used stumble around a little drunk in Richmond 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ my younger days 😂😂 I dated a girl from the midland bank in Richmond. Had so many great days in Richmond and the local pubs.

Excellent bit of off road action Freddie, the roads and the views in the area look spectacular as does the accommodation and little coffee shops. I love the old fashioned villages obviously a bit part of our British heritage. Can't wait for the next one, stay safe and enjoy the ride out.
