PART 2 - 125cc Camping Trip in Wales! // Finding Shell Island 😎

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

You forget how much of a hoot these little bikes can be, some of the best times I had were on my Honda SS50 back in the 70’s, an absolute legend of a little machine.

[@UsernameKate]

Small bikes are ace! Big advocate!

[@bonniechops1]

I had an ss50 when I was 16, great fun

[@LowkeyAnnie]

Hi Kate, Good to see you back out on the road with, Mike again! The country side is so picturesque in, England, you have so many fabulous routes to travel around on! Enjoy your camping⛺️/🏍riding adventure, and, ride safe...🏍💨Annie from Oz. 🇦🇺✌️

[@bonniechops1]

This countryside is so like the north of Scotland, looks amazing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏻

[@surfingwallin]

It's Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙃

[@billemond6695]

That was fun... Riding "Tiddlers" are a lot of fun.

[@UsernameKate]

So much fun Bill!

[@DatOldeBiker]

Kate that looks like loads of fun, just shows you don't need a big bike to enjoy the full biking experience. Get well soon! :>)

[@UsernameKate]

Exactly haha! Small bikes can be fun too!

[@billycaspersghost7528]

At 60+ and able to afford pretty much any bike I want and stop in B+B`s , I still I look back to trips with mates on clapped out BSA Starfires ,Bantams and Honda 125`s freezing and shivering together in crap tents and soaked sleeping bags. Thank god that`s over.😀

[@UsernameKate]

THANK GOD ITS OVER 🤣🤣 I was expecting you to look back fondly LOL

[@chema1546]

perfect 👍👌 Kate I hope you had a good weekend greetings

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Chema! I hope you are well too! 😁

[@chema1546]

Jajaja 😂😃 ok

[@andy5786]

Thanks Kate Mike for sharing your camping trip to Wales super👍❤️

[@UsernameKate]

Glad you're enjoying it !😁

[@bonniechops1]

My Yamaha DT 125 LC was an awesome bike back in the 80's 💪🏻

[@peterkinloch666]

Excellent, looked a right giggle on 125's

[@andrewharrop7932]

Cracking vlog,great roads, tarp tent 🤔🥺, smaller than the one I used at the WW22 🤣🤣 love the fun your all having on the bikes 🏍👍🏍👍🤯👍

[@UsernameKate]

🤣🤣🤣 cliff likes a challenge

[@lostandbald8115]

I have only just subscribed to your channel. It's got some great bike content and you are a skilled rider. You also have a great singing voice !!!

[@UsernameKate]

Thank Paul! I appreciate the sub!! 😄

[@Screamifyoumeanit]

Remembering back in the days... Though 2 stroke Yamaha RD 125s had a bit more 'poke' than todays 125s!... And then the 1989 Honda NSR 125 came out... Derestricted, it 'pissed' on the RDs! Another great vid Kate.

[@UsernameKate]

Ahh I never got to experience a 2 stroke 125 😭😭

[@owenwilliams9666]

Reminds me of a trip I did nearly fifty years ago, to west Wales. The bikes were my Triumph 500, a BSA Starfire and BSA Bantam (I think!). I still have the old WW2 Army tent I bought for the trip (£6.00), I had to cut the tent poles in half in order to carry them. We tended to use racks, panniers and tank bags rather then haversacks. Glad you enjoyed it. I still have an old Triumph but use a Herald 250 as my wife won't let me buy anything bigger!

[@UsernameKate]

That sounds like a proper fun trip 🤣 £6 tent bloody hell, unheard of nowadays lol

[@mikep.9371]

Looks like a lot more fun can be had on little bikes for sure. Will you have high winds and heavy rains for a restless sleep .... hmmm .... only two legged creatures stirring after dark around the tents. Hope you getting things figured out and are starting to improve Kate. Hope you had a good weekend, take care.

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Mike!

[@Theorangeman.]

that was me at 54 seconds, we went from bala to barmouth then the back road towards bala a494 from dolgellau and stopped off at the white water kayak centre. The coffee and cake there is a winner.

[@UsernameKate]

Can't believe how small the world is!!!

[@ryanmckee8971]

Just got myself a hoodlum125 and it’s such a fun little bike. I used to go shell island with my step dad as a kid, loved the place, him not so much 😅. It was great to watch your adventure through wales, I may do the same next year.

[@chickenchaser3213]

Doing trips like this on a 125 is a battle everything’s against you, suspension bottoming out due to the weight, wind trying to take you into the green stuff, speed or lack of it lol BUT it makes the whole experience more rewarding and adds an extra element to it that makes it special and an accomplishment, I love the big bikes but the 125 has captured my heart.

[@UsernameKate]

I think you summed it up perfectly!

[@johnmccarthy5132]

Funny isn't it! Obviously, we all love riding. We wouldn't be watching and loving these videos if we didn't. But DAMN it is great to get off the saddle at times!? Thanks for this upload guys!

[@UsernameKate]

Just good to stretch your legs for definite!!!

Hope the weather clears up for you . I’m off to Weymouth on my gtr on Thursday, from Sheffield, it’s a long ride but no problem to a seventy three year old iron but like me, have a nice time and thanks for sharing.

[@lifeontwowheels1206]

Them roads look nice looks like you’re having a lot of fun Think I might need to jump on my bike and go out there as the kids have gone away for a week might just need to go camping up there and have a bit of fun and relax Nice video Kate

I'm on part 2 of you're Wales adventure, it looks awesome

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Gordon! 😊

[@jameshutchins3396]

Overtakes on 125's. That's commitment hahaha So beautiful there, as always thank you for taking us along. I am amazed at how narrow the roads (lanes) are there. Now I understand why many of the road racers there will not ride on the street. A track must feel like a super highway ... without oncoming traffic

[@UsernameKate]

Yea track feels good for going fast without worry! And yes we were trying for overtakes 🤣🤣

[@jimmybownds9888]

Absolutely love Wales! Great roads and scenery... Next trip over I have plans to camp out along the way. Great video y'all! 👍👍

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Jimmy!!!

[@56Spookdog]

Always my wife’s dream to camp on a lush grass area instead of the hard dusty dirt we always did. Looked like a fun ride together there, I guess the bummer about camping on grass is no campfires to sit around near the tents.

[@UsernameKate]

Some campsites offer a fire pit which is nice. A campfire would make life complete

3:26 is LLyn Mair on the B4410 up the rod from the Oakely Arms pub

I did my bike test many years ago, had loads of bikes but missed the 125cc I got rid of my 600cc and got a immaculate euro 4 xmax 125 scooter, and a Suzuki Burgman 125, I absolutely love them, wouldn’t swap them for any big bike,

[@johnpaterson4163]

Cliff’s tent lol, hope to god it doesn’t rain. I was expecting big things when I saw the size of his backpack. Great to get away, can’t beat it with a big stick. Look forward to your further adventures. Btw beard suits Mike.

That's bloody cliff for you 🤣🤣 and YES I love the beard 😄

Sounds ideal!

Interesting! 😁

[@philliphicks3428]

Hi Kate Another great adventure.you really do have a spectacular country, the scenery is amazing. Not to sure about the narrow roads and all the stone fences. The 125s are popular out here, there's something about holding it flat out without the fear of losing your licence that's very appealing 😁. Take care Kate.

[@UsernameKate]

Very very appealing 🤣 and very rewarding!

Fantastic scenery, good vibes. A question, if I may ask. I turn off my bike by turning the key in the ignition. You use the emergency stop…..is there a reason for??👍👍🇳🇱

[@UsernameKate]

It depends what mood I'm in 🤣🤣 I think its 'good practice' to switch it off with the key (probably so you don't forget and leave your ignition on) but I don't think kill switch switching off will damage it in any way 👍🏻

[@Velo-Rides]

Just goes to prove you can have loads of fun on a 125.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

But not sure I'd repeat 400+ miles again to Wales on mine. Just not got the oompf (maybe if you a sprite)

Most fun times are had on 125s, it’s better to go fast on a slow bike than to go slow on a fast bike😊
