You found a great route among some top countryside. Plenty of quaint properties too. God knows what that car driver was thinking🤔. A good watch 👍

Your videos inspired and encouraged me to take to the back lanes, seeking not avoiding the roads with grass, gravel or moss down the middle. Definitely unsuitable for HGV but great fun on, in my case a 20 year old 600cc bike. Keep up the good work

Ever since I got on social security I go out for a ride daily just to have something to do and to get out of the house. It is so nice to go to bed knowing that you don't have to go to work in the morning. I want my motorcycle to work because I sure don't want to😂.

I just did a 60 mile round trip today, stopping halfway for a full English breakfast on my Classic 350. These bikes are the epitome of relaxed enjoyable biking, after two and a half years the bike is now perfect, having fitted bits and pieces that have made the bike unique to me. I love watching your rides with such perfect views and with the sound of the beating heart of the Classic, as relaxing as I find riding my bike. 😊 Forgot to add I retired in 2009 and wonder now how I had time to go to work, nothing beats being retired, enjoy every day 😊

Staffs Moorlands is like a well kept secret. Lanes seem far quieter than Peak District

Nice run that Dave ,and something I need to do more of is some camping in relatively local areas to make a change from riding a couple of hundred miles or so. Must say people always look or smile at the Classic 350's on those type of roads and villages, it's like they belong there and fit in , it's ironic though, that you're taking it easy around the lanes, then some clown is coming at you on the wrong side of the road oblivious to anyone that may be round the next bend ! Complete 🔔 ends! Apart from that , a very enjoyable video ☺️ 🙌👍 Cheers Mel 🍻

Backlane Bimbling of the highest quality, some absolutely stunning looking little places. Mr Trafford certainly lives in a beautiful area doesn’t he! All the best Nige.

The Manifold Valley is a fantastic place to explore.and the classic 350 is an ideal bike to do it on. Like you I love my 350 and it's a joy on these smaller narrow lanes. I often stop at Wetton Mill and the tea shop in Hulme End for refreshment and a comfort break.

Dave you said that little village looks like a jigsaw picture. The misses said she expected to see ‘ postman Pat’. Great ride as usual and enjoyed by both.

Welcome to my favourite part of the UK, The Staffordshire Moorlands. Great roads, great scenery and you are on the right sort of bike to best enjoy it. You missed the highlight of the area though at 16.29. Thor's Cave cut into the rock face dead ahead.

Another stonkin’ video, except for that cit’iot in that car - what were they doing - obviously not thinking or concentrating on driving. Just glad you were safe and showed some beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing this ride.

Great to watch my patch through someone else's eyes, and listening to your appreciation of it, although I found myself talking to the TV screen in the hope you might hear all the information I was giving you! 😂 Perhaps you can see now why I call myself Moorland Biker. Next time you come across give me a shout and I'll give you loads of info. Cheers buddy. 👍
