Mate you make a grown man cry ! Magical Freedom .. with you Brother🙌🏻

[@mackenziecameron2886]

Hi Daanny - been following you from the USA as you travel up through Scotland . My sister suddenly passed away today. She lived just outside John O'Groats - devastated but remembered you were just getting close and wanted to watch your video knowing you were nearby with tears in my eyes.

Danny, we all can see how emotional you were when talking about Johnny, it just makes everything in life worth while.

[@eddyennis9160]

I like it better when Veronica does the dance in front of the sign! 😂😂

[@hazelmcnab2417]

Thanks for doing that you really did make his day, month and year. And huge big thanks for signing my jacket.

[@colinross7800]

Great vlog Danny. Cool the guy you faced timed came to meet up and break bread.

[@Reubenn1]

You have redeemed yourself with this trip Daniel, you have made your way back to all the special reasons people love & adore you so much.

The settlement takes its name from Jan de Groot,[2] a 15th-century Dutchman who once plied a ferry from the Scottish mainland to Orkney, which had recently been acquired from Norway by King James IV. Local legend has that the "o' Groats" refers to John's charge of one groat for use of his ferry, but it actually derives from the Dutch de groot, meaning "the large". People from John o' Groats are known as "Groaters". The name John o' Groats has a particular resonance because it is often used as a starting or ending point for cycles, walks, and charitable events to and from Land's End (at the extreme south-western tip of the Cornish peninsula in England). The phrase Land's End to John o' Groats is frequently heard both as a literal journey (being the longest possible in Great Britain) and as a metaphor for great or all-encompassing distance, similar to the phrase common in the American continents, "coast to coast". Also, for many years, it was the northern terminal of the A9 trunk road, which now ends at Scrabster.

I was there at JO’G in 2005 waiting for an early morning ferry to Orkney. My sis Rhona was furious with me for getting her up so early. 🤣 It all looks the same. Oh the memories. Rhona passed away 3 years later at 47. Thanks for the beautiful filming and music. Made me teary.

[@maumau1968]

Danny, it was just amazing to see the pure joy in your face enjoying the ride and the beautiful sights. Being born and bred in Scotland, myself, it is very touching to see it through the lens of someone that I admire very much. Good on you Danny and fair looking forward to the next installment.

Brilliant episode and description of bike touring. There’s nothing like a long days riding, through bad conditions, to make you appreciate the basics of warmth, hot food and a good bed for the night 👍

Just when I think that the next video could not possible be any more entertaining than the last. It ends up being exactly that. ! Motorcycles are for men. An outlet. Like you said. And as a motorcyclist myself. I completely agree. Keep making amazing memories. On video. Ones that will last a lifetime. And I’ll keep watching. Sharing. Liking. And commenting.

[@catharticrides]

Danny your content is superb in so many ways but the way you open up about mental health is inspiring. Thanks pal you make it so much easier to talk about crap that's going on.

[@madcowmark7129]

Cheers Danny, enjoying the Vlog.

if I were you Danny, I would have lit a rag in the end of one of those bottles and threw it at that Sportster!!! lol

[@VisionsofChina]

The best way to experience the wild places in Scotland is with glowering skys, dark clouds, shafts of golden sunlight exploding on the glens and swirls of rains enveloping one unexpectedly. You did that - hope you got to see Glencoe in all its magnificence.

Great vid again Danny. Scotland is vast with so much untouched wilderness still.. and the Highlands are so good for your soul. I love touring the Highlands. Enjoy the visit to Applecross. There's really only the Applecross Inn there but yes the old cow pass is a must. Epic views too.

[@stephenwoods4175]

John o'Groats takes its name from one Jan de Groot, a Dutchman who obtained a grant for the ferry from the Scottish mainland to the island of Orkney, recently acquired from Norway, from the Scottish King James IV in 1496.

[@59jaguar]

Thanks for that history. Makes sense now. Lol

[@debbiesullivan2390]

LOVE the running Man for V ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CNDUK-q8r]

According to the Google fairy: "A mound near the John O’Groats House Hotel marks the site where Jan de Groot, a Dutchman, built his famous house in the reign of James IV (1488 - 1513). His seven descendants quarrelled about precedence and Jan de Groot solved this problem by building an octagonal house with eight doors, one for each of his seven sons and himself, and an eight sided table so that no one occupied the head of the table. Jan de Groot ran a ferry to Orkney and charged 2p a trip."

[@gwynnromano5881]

John O Groats is named after a Dutchman Jan De Groot. He was granted the ferry franchise between there and Orkney by King James IV in 1496.

John O Groats (real name Dutch heritage Jan de Groot 15th Century) ... .love how he made all his seven Sons and himself head of the table..lol that's team leadership. From the previous comment: octagonal house with eight doors, one for each of his seven sons and himself, and an eight-sided table so that no one occupied the head of the table.

Hi Danny, just had to write a note to thank you for such a happy video. Both me and my wife had a bad few days in work and were feeling down.

[@garysbackroadadventures]

Stunning drone video of the coast line. The color contrast was absolutely amazing. Watched it twice. Your attempt at the "V dance" at the Welcome sign wasn't too bad, however V has a slightly stronger rhythm. Practice makes perfect. Throttle on my friend.

Been in love with Scotland and Nessie since I was a boy, and been addicted to the highs and lows of motorcycling for nearly as long. There's an inspirational guy(reformed pop star/hellraiser) called Mike Posner who puts it beautifully in his song 'Look what I've become' , with the line "There's something gorgeous underneath the pain".
