Riding with my Girl: A Motorcycle Trip to Remember PART 1

Hey Everyone,
In this video, I share the first part of my awesome motorcycle trip to Yorkshire with my friend Lillie. We are both passionate bikers and we decided to have a girls biking holiday in this beautiful area of England.
If you want to know our journey, it was this:
Day One: Clithroe - Slaidburn - Bentham - Ingleton - Hawes - Sedbergh - Kirkby Lonsdale
Day Two: Devils Bridge - Ingleton - Hawes - Kirkby Stephen - Middleton In Teesdale - Alston - Hartside Pass - Shap - Sizergh (on the A6) - Kirkby Lonsdale
Day Three: Kirkby Lonsdale - Long Preston - Wigglesworth - Forest Beck (on the A6) - A59 to motorways and then home.
This was a great start to our motorcycle adventure and we cant wait for you to see more of Yorkshire in the next part.

Gorgeous weather, perfect roads, great bikes, lovely ladies and the dulcet tones of a northern girl. This is what perfect days are made of.

[@TL1000S97]

"She's so chaseable" Thats a good one 😊😊 Thanks for posting these videos 👍

[@UsernameKate]

She defo is 🤣

[@blueyondermoto]

My sis lives in Waddington! Great riding around there.

[@dazfromnz01]

She’s very chaseable❤

[@ScottB-NE]

Currently in Canada where it’s -22 overnight and -14 daytime high. 🥶🇨🇦. This cheered me up!

[@UsernameKate]

Yay! 😊

[@alanco608]

The growl of Lillie's Duke is something else... Mean machine

[@UsernameKate]

So wild!!

[@stewartmcdowall2285]

You and Lilly are the greatest fun! Putting a big smile on this old guy's face! Thank you and never change x

[@marcbrasse747]

Yep, Great roads, great bikes and nowhere particular to go. Best medicine in the world! 😎

[@PhilipBurton-dn3ce]

Born in Leeds in 1967...brought to Australia in '75...back once in '79.......I love seeing my beloved Yorkshire and the places l didnt go or don't remember....thankyou..l do very much appreciate you bringing it to me...👍

[@UsernameKate]

You're welcome!!

[@darrenandcarolynoneill2399]

Two beautiful ladies riding bikes on great roads and outstanding scenery thank you .

[@technohamster4783]

As a Yorkshireman I have to say we are blessed with roads and views, great to see you riding them and look forward to once again riding them myself. Ribblehead to hawes is definitely a fave.

[@stevebolton8471]

A well needed summer video after months of rain this year so far. Lovely views of Yorkshire.

[@robertshilliday4476]

Hi Kate, You & Lillie are wonderful, Now I have been riding for over 50 years, & my 2 Girls are both older than you , To see Young Ladies riding so well it's good, Lillie & you are a breath of fresh air to Motorcycling, and I am sure all males smiled when we seen a mirror behind you & you dressed for bed 🤣😂 as you know Life is for having fun and enjoying, Keep up the good work many of my friends love you , and there is more noise comes out of there mouth than there tail pipes 😂 keep her between the hedges & safe.

[@twotriumphs7398]

as always brilliant

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! I really enjoyed the countryside. When you passed that tractor putting up hay I could almost smell scent of Summer. The videos with you and Lillie are great. Best!

[@jamesschneider3828]

Lilly needs some ROC straps to tie down her load. Those net straps never keep gear in place. That was some great spirited riding. The terrain closely resembles that of north central Kansas through the sandhills of Nebraska up into central South Dakota. Fun trip.

[@waynep4256]

Love watching your videos Kate, ride safe and keep up the good work❤

[@backontwowheels9469]

What a lovely ride, great weather too.

[@phantomrider22]

You ladies are great!

[@banditbeggers533]

Great video stunning bikes and a great ride

[@phillwagstaff4425]

Brilliant video Kate I could almost feel the warm whether

[@andyninja949]

Absolutely brilliant ladies ❤

[@londonbiker]

Ooooooooh I loved this, cycle maniac man, Lillie on the thugs bike, huge ice creams and who doesn't like a bit of #girlstrip...lol

[@volkerbrambach]

Love your vids and your stunning country! Especially your overlandtours! Lots of inspiration! We spent a month of happiness last year in England and had a short visit to York - beautifull! - on our way to Scotland and the Isle of Skye. Your contributions are so lively and natural! Ilove to see and hear more of them! Stay healthy and be happy living the best hobby in the world! Best wishes from Munich and my Superduke R 😊, Volker

[@paulrose576]

Hi you two beautiful young ladies. What a wonderful video keep them coming ❤

[@e45twp]

Excellent stuff!!

[@SoDakTwisties]

I'm glad you have such a good friend to go have adventures with! A couple of bosses out there tearing up those roads! Also, Lillie is just so cute piloting that 1290 SDR like a pro!

[@wideawakenor]

You girls are the best. Had to watch these videos twice

[@garyrobinson4847]

Great video, you were both really enjoying your bikes on fabulous roads, it’s what motorcycling is all about.

[@ttrguy9952]

Kate Fantastic video! Two ladies ripping it up on the beautiful country roads. You two are hilarious together! 😂 I love Lillie's riding skills. You can tell she's done some track days! I could chase her all day long. 🤗You two amaze me. Such proper Ladies off the bikes and pure Hooligans riding them. Dream girls! 😍 More Lillie rides Please! I can't wait for part 2! Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍👍

[@ianbendall3116]

Fair play, you girls can hustle 👍

[@gmbmedia28]

Love your content Kate. This ep feels like I'm riding with you both. Thank you for sharing your adventure ride. Waiting for part 2 🍻🏍️🏆

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Great, gives me anxiety as still waiting for warmer days.

[@Gingerbiker]

Great video, scenery. That Ktm is a sound to listen to great sound it sings😊

[@asharcadian978]

Thanks so much for this - my bike is poorly in the garage, so I couldn’t go out this week-end. But the two Yorkshire vids made up for it - what amazing roads! I also love your philosophy about measuring the good days against the bad ones 🤘🏼. Keep riding and being awesome, you both are so cool.

[@andrewprice1189]

fantastic vlog Kate!

[@veiledallegory]

My beautiful Kate oh how I’ve missed seeing you in my KZbin feed! ❤

[@MrSpanker2007]

My backyard, Great vid

[@michaelneve3223]

Just love these vids Kate. Bikes, sun and friends

[@UsernameKate]

It's just the best time 😊 completes my soul

[@SBKPete]

Fantastic 😊 Great roads and great riding. Lillie’s a bit tasty on that KTM 👍🏻

[@FastRuffneck]

Thanks for the little trip back to my home county … and as a cyclist as well as a biker … for being so tolerant of the dude’s racing line 😂 Great vid Kate

[@ed7540]

Yay! Mega glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ninja-400-girl]

Wow what great weather for a ride. The view looked great too. looked like a nice lunch and ice cream YUMMMMY. I cant wait to see what happens next. Ride safe you two.

[@simonchilli2088]

Awesome roads and scenery ladies! Who knew tho June was going to be summer last year? And nothing else.

[@CLLUK]

Lovely roads, thanks. Can't wait for better weather

[@goodthiefphoto]

Loved the Tour de France commentary! 😆

[@andyforster7023]

Great to see the pair of you slaying those lovely roads, you can tell you’re both enjoying it and the 8S looks like a weapon. Good work👍🏻.

[@jackgreenhalgh6957]

Brilliant video Kate! Looks like you had an awesome day! I have a similar trip planned for May! 😀

[@craighouston390]

Jeeeez, you ladies can fly!! Wish I could ride as good as that nowadays 👍🏻👏👏👏

[@Elysian_Angel_]

That scenery! 😍

[@UsernameKate]

Gorgeous isn't it!! Route for your Nav in the description if you want it 😊

[@nikkij1618]

That KTM sounds absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@404michaelnotfound]

What a ride... nice bikes great content. I love the countryside. Might need to book a trip across the North Sea to ride those lovely roads.

[@dingbat2076]

Great content, you and Lillie need to try Buttertubs Pass if you haven't already. Some great roads in Cumbria. Another great route is from Barrow-In-Furness to Whitehaven, along the West Coast of Cumbria the A595 😉 Lots of twisties and pitstops to enjoy.

[@nigelprice6469]

Know these roads well great riding

[@bloodknottrevelian3396]

Only just found you. Good to see more and more girls riding solo. Great roads, we are off to Wales come August for our third year. Now about to load the next episode. 👍

[@specialandroid1603]

More girls than ever have taken up motorcycling. Enjoy the freedom and be safe.

[@danasprey4144]

great times indeed Kate. Makes me miss having a bike even more. I'm here for the no reason riding, explore and see what's what. play nice x

[@ianhalliwell8604]

That road from Slaidburn to Bentham is something else, your camera of course levels out all the humps and hollows which is a shame but not as bad as that lookalike Chris Frome who thought he owned the road, damm menace.

[@jarikivimaki8686]

Really nice views, a road that I would like to drive myself someday. Maybe someday I'll go there to England, so I know it's a long trip. Thank you for the video.

[@AssamexploreVlogs]

Wow beautiful place

[@robincoulter5228]

I love the dales hopefully i will get over from ni for another spin around.

[@gordonwallin2368]

Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

I love watching your vids when you’re on roads I know. They’re all in striking distance for me of a summer’s evening after work 👍 Thanks 👍

[@UsernameKate]

I am jealous! There aren't too far from me so could always be worse!! But still 🤣

[@deanharris9331]

Love it ❤️ I think I might have to do some touring up north.....it looks awesome. Thanks for uploading the vid Kate......looking forward to the second part 👍 😊

[@JFDI1]

I live in Hampshire but I've spent a lot of time in that area and there are three outstanding areas. The forestbof Bowland, the lakes and the Dale's. Kirby Lonsdale, Hawes, and Settle are great touristy stops. I've done every pass in the lakes and buttertub ( Head North at Hawes). Great roads great places to stop and eat, it's definitely worth it.

[@HILLandBECK]

I live just near Kirkby Lonsdale. Love all the roads you were on. Great to drive 👌🏼

[@UsernameKate]

So good aren't they!

[@GrahamHughes-uu1gi]

Looking forward to part 2, roads around there are awesome 😎 ride safe ladies 🤗

[@UsernameKate]

Can't wait to share it 😊

[@joewilliams5396]

That were great. Thanks.

[@UsernameKate]

Yay glad you enjoyed it!

[@Paul-lt6xi]

Brilliant roads Kate love it .can't wait for summer 👍

[@UsernameKate]

Gorgeous aren't they!!

[@peteg2424]

Wow cheers Kate !!! Can’t wait for summer seeing that sunshine I could almost feel the warmth from here . The things a girl will do for a ice cream lol 👌

[@UsernameKate]

I didn't expect it to be the size of my head 🤣🤣

[@TheHdleif]

Great vid Kate you and Lillie on a trip is a very good combo. Love it!

[@UsernameKate]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mysterybiker1717]

This video is why we ride. ❤

[@WEEZMONEYINVOLVED132]

Love them bikes.👍🏻

[@justmejohn773]

I can think of something better than chasing Lillie crocodile... catching her. 😃 Great video Kate.

[@UsernameKate]

🤭🤭

[@e45twp]

Thank you for the recommendation and discount code for Custom Fit Guards. Purchased my CF Auto V2's today.

[@ravenslament622]

Kate that luggage was giving my anxiety anxieties lol, perhaps elegant stylish pannier luggage bags or box for you and lilly being as your both so stylish. Wooowho in deed gorgeous scenery.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Dohhhhh Watched part 2 first..... But both are good.... I am in West Yorkshire and the roads are Amazing here as well.... Will be back for more...... :-)) xxxx

[@atomic8468]

Ahhhh those dulcet northern tones. Music to this exiled northerner’s ears 😃

[@migueruta]

Right! I would love to know on behalf of what or whom (saint/patron/etc) that public party/fair (?) was happening.

[@shonakate]

I was over tin Kirkby Lonsdale last week! Would love to go back in summer when the sun is shining (properly!) again

[@JohnGadsby-mi7ui]

Best KZbin bike vid I've seen in ages, thanks Kate!! If there were more girls like you two, the world & motorcycling would be a much better place. I now do my biking in the mountains around Valencia, Spain & wouldn't return to the UK for anything, but Lancashire, N Yorkshire & Cumbria (should aslo include Northumbria, A686 Penrith - Haydon Bridge, especially after Alson) are truly God's country (who/whatever your god is), and on a day like that, truly unbeatable. Thanks again✌

[@WEEZMONEYINVOLVED132]

Two beautiful ladies.❤️😘

[@UsernameKate]

Thank you! 🤗

[@krisghoststar]

I've been along that road a lot. Great route and great to see more girls riding! BTW the road back from Hawes to Broughton is ace too!

[@mrwam72]

Love that, i live in Clitheroe & ride those roads most weekends......so lucky where i live!

[@UsernameKate]

Blessed

[@IanTed]

Used to live in Chipping, it was rough🤣👍

[@Matthew-cx2nl]

Getting on your motor bike is the most rewarding thing in my life l enjoy travelling on my gold wing wow it's do do nice to escape from work and the stress in my life

[@davidnightingale3157]

It’s raining cats and dogs here in North Queensland Australia so no bike rides at the moment . Looks like you two are having a great time though. Nice ride great views and good company. Doesn’t get any better than that. Have to say Lillie looks like a bit of a speed demon 👍 good pace setter 🚀

[@ShalomBrother]

This video has got me so excited for the coming months. I can’t want to get out and ride!!

[@andytee5677]

Living down under now but you brought back memories of many hours of great rides in Yorkshire

[@LickyDischarge]

The sound of a SuperDuke is hard to beat! 😎👍🏻

[@arnohag1]

I'm glad you have patience with nob bike riders. You have Dolly we've got kangaroo's and wallaby's who cross the road regardless. Have kicked a few in my time. Love the roads, thanks for the ride.

[@nigel8499]

This was EPIC, thank you for taking us along 10/10 from me. x

[@UsernameKate]

Yay glad you enjoyed it!

[@charlesemerson6763]

Nice ride but those tight little lanes. Nothing like that here in Oz especially Ribblehead Viaduct. Every time I've seen that sight it's been chucking it down so you girls picked the perfect day.
