[@glenrichardson6439]

Freddie just joined the bike community again after a 30 year lay off. like your reviews very much and hope you don't mind me asking a slightly strange question? was wondering where do you sourced your tee shirts from as I need to purchase some new ones as the missus has told me to replace my old favorites as they are now past there best, have to say she is probably right. I like to have the sleeves nice and long as per the white one you were wearing on the Isle of wight trip, also been trying to source a pair of the Alpha trousers as well but not with much success as yet. Great channel keep up the good work my friend. All the best Glen

You are very very luck to live off the mainland. I come over every opportunity I can for a few days. I just love it there and the people are just really nice. So different from the mainland alot of the time.

[@GunCollector007]

One of my favorite places on earth.

Watching from the states, what a beautiful place my grandfather was stationed on the Isle of Wight from 1902 to 1908 in the British Army. He ended up in Gibraltar for his reserves and he stayed in Gib.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Love the Isle of Wight me - me and Mrs Flyer are regular visitors by air (but never with the bike...yet!). If you go again I recomend Steep Hill Cove near Ventnor - take the track next to the cricket club down to some amazing hidden beach side fish cafe's.....

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks!

It blew my mind!🖤

I live there too! Isn’t it amazing?

[@thewaywardpoet]

Like most people outside of Britain, I first learned about the Isle of Wight in a lyric from the Beatles song, "When I'm Sixty-Four." Then, I saw parts of it for the first time in a Sam Pilgrim cycling video about a year ago. Your video is the first I'm seeing that focuses solely on its beauty and splendor. Thank you for showing me more of this spectacular place! I'll have to go when I visit Britain. Cheers from Los Angeles!

The Military road into Freshwater has stunning views and great for bikes. The Piano bar is lovely, the Red Lion serves fantastic food.

[@Tsuyoikaratekai1998]

Lovely. I went there the end of August 2024. Travelled from Pompey and camped at the Windmill Campsite. Me and my 25 year old Triumph Tiger. Loved the Military Road, Went to Mottisstone, beautiful views from the stones atop the hill, further along you can just about see France. Good times.

Lived on the West Wight in Freshwater for 2 years. An unforgettable experience and there really is nothing like living by the sea, most weekends included 10-15 mile walks around the coast surrounded by the most astounding scenery. Great video!

Been coming to the IoW since the mid 1970s with my family when I was a small child. I've kept coming back since then. The fortunes of the resorts wax and wain but I've never fallen out of love with the island. Always find peace and beauty. I've been a motorcyclist since aged 16 in 1985 but never yet taken a motorbike there. Plenty of cars but never a bike. I think that I need to fix this. Thanks Freddie and Monika.

Enjoy your stay on our island have lived here 37 years and wouldn't move off it. So enjoy your ride around the island weather should of been with you then the rain we have had last few days.

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks

[@rctaylor5689]

WOW! Greetings from British Columbia,Canada. Loved your vid & commentary. I was born & raised in Ryde on the Island, and, after serving 5 yrs in the RAF, I took a job driving a tour bus for Paul’s Tours on the Island. Met my lovely wife while in that job & married her a few months later. One of the fun things I used to do as a coach driver was, following an evening tour to some beauty spot and a few drinks in a pub, I would get everyone singing well known songs of the time on the return trip to Ryde. There used to be maybe a dozen tour bus companies operating on the island, but I understand they were all bought out by the Southern Vectis Bus Company. Pity! We That was in 1956. We emigrated to Canada in Jan 1958. We’re still married & in our retirement years. Your video brought back many memories of travelling those roads. I see the road has changed a lot around Blackgang Chine due to the “land slip” . . . I’m now in my late 80’s. I doubt I will ever travel to the island again but I do keep informed as I have a sister, & sister-in-law living there as well as a nephew & his family. Thanks for the memories.

[@FreddieDobbs]

This is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing this brilliant insight, I LOVED reading it!🙂. What a huge change; BC from the IOW, wow!

Thanks for coming, fortunate to live in Southsea, across the water from the Isle of Wight, such a stunning island, thanks for sharing

In 2014 we visited the Isle of wight and we were absolutely amazed about the beauty of that little Island! We stayed for one night at "The boat house", had an absolutely delicious dinner and a wonderful quiet night in a little suite, decorated with so much love for details, that we absolutely fell in love with that place and the whole island. We will definitely come back to spend another longer holiday at one of the beautiful beaches!! Thanks for the nice video and reminding me of a beautiful holiday!!
