Riding SCOTLAND'S NORTH COAST 500 | A 10 Year Dream | Toll Free Traveller

This is Part 1 of my motorcycle journey on the famous North Coast 500 in Scotland in OCTOBER 2022. The NC 500 is a 500-mile loop around the North-Western regions of the Scottish highlands that starts and ends at Inverness. Known to be one of the most iconic "summer road trips" in the world, I set off to find out what it's like to ride this route in Autumn.

Your enthusiasm fills me with joy. I love the commonality we share as motorcycle riders. No matter the culture I feel like you’re my brother because you find joy the same way I do

[@CHOPPERish]

Wise words, exactly what I thought but stated much better than I ever could! 👍

[@bikerdash27]

Amazingly mad ! Cold wet Scotland in winter on a motorcycle. Great video. Perfect narration.🙏

[@ianwhunter1]

I have been a subscriber (from the UK) to your channel for a number of years now and I really enjoy you taking me to places outside my environment. To see you ride roads to me that I have known for thirty or forty years, in such atrocious weather and find such enjoyment is a great pleasure to see. I ride 12 months of the year here in the UK - I will ride in snow, but not ice. Looking forwards o seeing the trip unfold.

[@neilmackinnon3371]

Welcome to Scotland, land of my father and my father's father and where my heart resides. I did the NC500 and a fair bit more September 2021 and will be back for more in 2023. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

[@ReflectionsWithAsif]

your storytelling is mesmerizing. Never fails to draw me in. My absolute favorite.

[@helmet_diaries]

"Perseverance" what a use of word, exactly fits to all motorcyclist. Everybody who waits, plans to go to his dream place. You brings out what people have in them, Kudos! Long Live TFT !

[@milemuncherVstrom]

I used to ride but now days i am unable to. While seeing your video i felt very peaceful. nice music through out this great video. continue riding.

[@Chetan0306]

your soothing voice adds extra charm to your videos

[@behindthehandlebar8574]

Amazing video. Happy to be a part of this journey and doing this crazy road trip. Coming spring I am going to do this again. On good weather days of course.. 😂😂

[@joannehart9624]

I absolutely love the little towns and villages that are all across the UK. Each and every one with a stories reaching back many hundreds or even thousands of years. Very much like your country, but very different from here in the US. Oh yeah, I'm eating some spicy curry that some of my Indian co-workers made for me. So delicious!

[@RBee-TuBe]

Another satisfying beautiful cinematic soulful background music all in 13 mins….love it brother ❤🙏👍

[@maverickdreamrider5773]

Wow, what an amazing intro, frankly can't imagine you as a corporate lawyer 😁 The work is fantastic and the eagerly awaited content is worth it! Happy miles buddy!

[@geetarthneo]

The use of words, the way you deliver them makes your video so soothing and inspiring. Man! I love them.

[@udaykiran874]

[@honeysharma391]

[@SimonPass230267]

Great film. I've done that top route of Scotland in a car, but regret not doing it on my Triumph Tiger. But thanks for inspiration Sir.

[@gaurav-agrawal]

I am just enjoying looking at the scenic views alongside the scotland highway.

[@rohit.kulkarni]

That's just too good ! Waiting for the next episodes to come .

[@rickhowell3847]

Your videos are so well done, so well edited, so well produced. My Aussie colleague and I worked through all your Tibet episodes whilst in Goa after a 10 day Spiti valley trip on Himalayans and it really showed how it was! Keep up the good work.....there's the TET (trans European trail) to look forward too as well! Go for it.

[@raghunandan2106]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!!! Been following your work since your first video, and it never fails to bring a a smile on my face :D God speed to you, Rohit!!!

Hey Rohith, you really couldn't have followed a better route up to John O' Groats. I wish I could have hooked up with you up there, as I could've introduced you to some interesting fellows. You're plainly having a great trip in spite of the wonderful Scottish weather. Marvellous video my friend. 👏👌

[@ashutoshjain4637]

Your vlogs are just a beauty.

Hey, I know this will be another comment among many, but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. Currently going through a very bad phase in all aspects of life. But for a few moments watching your videos provides some amount of comfort. Hope to keep being able to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers :)

[@jinrudra587]

Best as always 💖

[@myrabenson1603]

You make this journey a rea.l joy 😊

[@the_.aquanaut]

My oh my!!! What an incredible route this is!! Absolutely breathtaking 👌

[@prasanthsiva5967]

I hate peoples who's not watching & who's not having idea about Toll Free Traveller... One of the great youtubers in KZbin.Period.No hate but so many unworthy youtubers post stupid contents & they get so much recognition than him,i wonder how stupid they are... Don't Stop my brother ❤️.You are Great 👍...

[@raghunandan8635]

Some great visuals. Good one 💙

[@thetractionmotor]

The drone shot of those rolling hills was so reminiscent of the Ferrari F12 review on BBC Top Gear. I have to say, you have done that shot its due justice. All the best on your travels.

[@CraftyBushPrepper]

Hats off to you doing this in November, I did it in August on a bike this year. and it was cold enough then, at least you dont get the midges. Bealach na Bà is the best. Good luck to you.

[@myrabenson1603]

What a great adventure for you x

[@steveh545]

reminds me of a mountain biking/camping trip to the Lake District. I clearly remember the sign that said "no fires". The weather was about the same. Would have taken an act of God for a 'fire accident'. Beautiful country, looking forward to Part 2.

[@HummingWanderer]

Beautiful.. thats what the first word came out from my mouth after seeing this vlog. So i am typing the same.. on top of that the way you put everything you are experiencing in words. My regards and lots of likes!

[@SivaShanmugam_E]

Just amazing bro... Enjoy the journey... 😊

[@RBee-TuBe]

Finally i wait is over…commenting befire watching ❤❤

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

It's such a joy to watch your content! And Yes, I know I have said it before too. Honestly, your content has always been a class above the rest and like fine wine, its only gotten better. I got hooked to this channel sometime in 2017 after the 'Long way back home' aired. It's been over 5 years and it's been brilliant everytime. Love how you keep it simple. The soothing narration, the perfect music, it all makes it very real for us viewers. And the wait between the content is a bit painful but its always worth it. Great to see the adventure has started and would love to see how it unfolds over the upcoming episodes. I for one cannot wait. 😀 it's great to see Prasanjit on your channel. Different people same mindset.

[@BuntaBall40]

Fantastic photos mate

[@ishanku]

Always the best channel.. 😍😍

[@vishnun9016]

Your videos are ELECTRIFYING. I too have a dream of owning a bike and just FLY. But...money......

[@indrajitdey2308]

Great content! Can't wait for more videos! 🔥

[@himalayanlensman9087]

Waiting for another video. When I watch your video you take me wherever you were riding. ❤️ From me

[@chintanbharwad7848]

Glad you had a great time in U K . Sorry we didn’t able to meet up

[@siddharthpathak1391]

Was waiting eagerly for this one :)

[@kayal92riders]

Beautiful ride and always marvellous editing ❤️❤️❤️❤️Annaaaa
