Scotland Trip - Motorcycle Camping between lockdowns - Ducati MTS 950S & Versus 1000

[@stevenbuckley554]

Fantastic wee video, from my part of the world, great roads and scenery. Sorry for your loss, but you will always have the memories of this trip with your dad and he will always be with you in your head and your heart. Wise words at the end, life is not a rehearsal. Take care 👍

[@stephenbaines8279]

Sat here..... a 49 year old man with tears in his eyes..... a beautiful video at hand. That’s really touched me...... I hope you and your family are coping. I wish you well from the middle of my heart...... a beautiful video with an incredibly heartbreaking ending. ❤️

[@arizonagirl5587]

Just wanted to say what a brave man to do this video after your sad loss, but a lovely tribute to your father x

[@colinstein7177]

What a beautiful message at the end fella... Had me in tears. Peace and love

[@garyspears4400]

Great video, but so sad! You are so fortunate to have this memory with your dad. After learning of your dad's passing at the end of the video, I went back and rewatched looking at the smiles on his face. As a dad myself (same age as your dad) I can't think of a better way to spend my last days than with my sons on an adventure such as yours. You are a good son!

[@ronaldlocontijr8999]

Death is not forever Forever is the time you spent Forever are you memories Forever is a time just to say How much you love him in a special way Much love bro

[@mars0030]

Wow! Didn't see that coming . I'm 50+ and a couple of years ago took my son into Europe as pillion. These are experiences that are difficult to compare because you share so much as adults that you might not experience as a parent and child would. Seeing and appreciating the sights, having a beer or a meal at the end of the day. Maybe one day we'll do a trip on two bikes like you did. Either way, these are ireplaceable memories that we might have missed had it not been for motorcycling . Priceless, as they say.

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

There were a couple of years in my 20s where I didn’t have a bike for one reason or another. If I wanted to go on our annual pilgrimage to Le Mans I had to ride pillion with my dad. Didn’t do much for my street cred at the time. Head to toe in race leathers on the back of a GTR or RT1150. But I look back fondly now and found some of the pictures last week. Great memories.

[@dublin309]

I stumbled across this after thinking about taking a motorcycle camping trip in Scotland - looking for some tips! The end of the video took me by complete surprise - thanks for sharing something so precious. Motorcycle trips with others have a unique charm and how wonderful that you have these memories with your dad. I feel very privileged to have watched this. Thanks.

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

I hope you complete your trip and make some good memories. All the best.

[@ianlogan9415]

Lovely video and what fantastic memories to have with your dad. Thank you for sharing

Bloody hell... What a lovely video with such a sad ending... Your dad's up in heaven having a wonderful time on his bike in the clouds... Keeping an ever watchful eye on his son...

[@erikhardonk2249]

What an amzing story. Good that you had that experience with your dad. A valuable memory that will last forverer.

[@gogsalba4573]

So glad you both had this tour up here together . Editing the footage must have been difficult to say the least . Tioram has a special place in my heart as I’m sure it does for you now.. I go camping there and my son and I have toured a good bit in Scotland with him and will again ... You’re so right about making things happen because we never know what’s round the corner for us or our loved ones .. I will share your video with my boy ..not to upset him but to inspire him to get the riding britches on and come riding with his dad more ... he will soon be a father himself so in one or two years the three of us may ride together ... wouldn’t that be something .. From a Fathers perspective, riding alongside your son fills you with pride and brings so much joy as I’m sure it did for your dad. Thanks so much for sharing, very powerful stuff, your Dad would have loved this too.. Best wishes to you and yours .... If you ever want to tour a bit more up here when the loss of your dad is less raw ..feel free to PM me and I would genuinely feel honoured to ride with you or give you some tips to find more amazing places to ride to and through .. Be safe and well .ride free buddy ✌️😎🤘

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

Thanks for the kind offer. I may just take you up on that! Hopefully we’ll all be able to get out and about before long. And hope you can fulfil the three generation bike aspirations!

Great video and sorry to hear about your dad. Originally from England and now living in America. Last week I traveled to Colorado to pick up a bike and then decided to ride it back 836 miles to AZ. . The ride was amazing and the relaxation of riding that long refreshed my mind. Motorcycles are a peaceful vacation away from the craziness 👍

[@flyingfish173]

So sorry for your loss. Live each day as your last. Great timing to plan a trip.

I don't know you from the next man, but my heart sank for you when you said your dad had died. This pandemic has taken far too many. Massive respect to you for making this and what a great memory to have made together. Brilliantly put together video. I've just subbed after watching that so please, make more biking videos when you can, you're very good at it. Condolences to you and your family. Stay safe. Tojj

[@RichO1701e]

Was half way thru commenting on what a super video of your Scotland trip, then, the end totally hit me. Thank you for the video and sharing your pain, and love of your dad. You really nailed it, there is no perfect moment, just live for the day, seize it. As another of my favourite biker vloggers on YT says, "Live your life". I only recently passed my test, Sept 2019, with all sorts of touring plans for 2020, then, the virus hit. Luckily, I did manage to do a 5 day tour of Scotland with a mate, the NC500 from Teesside and back on my VFR. Life is too short, too short to wait around waiting for the perfect moment. Get out there create your memories and hopefully leave this world a better person than when you came into it. My condolences, RIP in your Dad

[@monkeydixadventures]

I love the photo of you and your Dad at Glenfinnan, such a wonderful memory. The end of the video saddened me deeply. God bless. Warmest regards Dean

[@mannygulliver2668]

Hi mate, what a great clip, I can relate to it in many ways, I'm a fellow biker, I've ridden much of Scotland back in Summer 2019. Lost my old dad back in 2017 to illness he was also a biker in his younger years. Only difference is that I never got around to taking my dad to Scotland which we were supposed to do. Brilliant pal, you've made a great memory with your dad.

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

Thanks Manny, safe travels :-)

Ride together forever.

Man I wasn't expecting that! Sorry to hear about your dad but at least you had this time together. I nearly died from a heart attack 3 years ago and vowed I'd make memories with my family just in case.

Just tripped over your video, as you do on YT, and was thinking how fortunate you were to get away on the bikes with your Dad. My Dad passed away 15 years ago, after a long period of dementia, whilst still relatively young, or so it seemed. I was choking up when you told us the ending. Sorry for your loss. I'm sure you are grateful for that last memory. If you can ensure your children enjoy something similar with you...you get it. Ride safe.

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

Thanks. I forced myself to make the video so I didn’t just lose the clips. It turned out to be quite a cathartic experience but it took me a few goes to get through the ending as you can probably see. My grandfather had dementia for 20 years before he died, I know what a toll that takes. Be safe.

The way you've put this vid together will be a great reminder of your time together, it's why my wife and I love recording our travels. We actually stopped at the inn immediately in front of you at the Coran ferry, we ate ice cream in Oban and chased the steam train into Mallaig...... great memories.

I’m sorry you lost your bro. Can count the times on one hand that I’ve ridden anywhere with my own brother. My dad had vertigo for a while too. Remember him flinging himself onto the bed to sort it out. Stopped him riding for a while but then managed to shake it. Stay safe.
