Touring the Scottish Western Isles by BMW R1200GS | Episode 2 | The Isle of Mull

[@wave2k]

I did a similar route on my battered '88 CBR400 in 2004 and loved it. Would love to go back again .

[@JPHOT100]

You are one of the reasons, along with Baron Von Grumble, that I’ve got back into bikes at 54 after a 16 year lay off. Got a two year old VFR800F and a 1973 Bonny in my garage. Very happy. Thank you...!

[@gdfggggg]

Cool

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Due to Covid ruining my plans yet again, I've revisited this series which is helping me plan a last minute Scotland trip instead. Thanks so much.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad to help!

[@tomadv]

Beautiful. Best 30 minutes of my day so far. Living vicariously through TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks!

[@Cuzzazbuzz]

I think this is my 2nd time of watching these and never tire from them. Nice to see you’re the new breed of rider who takes their time to enjoy the surroundings rather than hoping to make it home.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you like them and thanks for watching twice!

[@BlueMarbleRider]

Nice droneage. You're so modest: the telescopists/binocularists were there to witness the passing of the lesser spotted TMF on it's annual migrations through the western isles. Nicely done. Thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I never thought of that! :0)

[@darenmorley4598]

The drone shots were rather good. Love these Scottish adventures, such a beautiful country.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Daren, much more droneage to come!

[@CNDUK-q8r]

My favourite TMF so far. Almost made me cry it was so perfect. 15:15

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Crikey!

[@RevBombUK]

Gorgeous scenery great video, 22:50 Dam sheep will ewe get out of the road !!! safe riding my friend !

[@cport955]

Found this video just before my Scottish trip this year and so glad I did as the road round Mull was one of the best of the trip

[@JBMotorrad]

This is the best of the best of your best videos, Sir. In my humblest of opinions, to be certain. I’m on my second watch. Thanks for taking me along!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow - thank you very much!

[@maj301]

I'd say your drone is a welcome addition !And your adventures are quite entertaining. maj301

[@whiskywhippet]

This is the true spirit of biking.

[@reljoy]

Really enjoyed that! Great scenery. Thank you for showing it to us. The drone shots were great.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching Roger....I get better with the drone ;0)

[@vmcougarintn5035]

That was indeed a beautiful drive. I will never get there now, so your trip was like mine. Looking fprward to the next installment.Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@browndoggus]

Smashingly beautiful country! Luck man is the TMF!

[@Jonwa63]

That stretch of western Mull, the Gribun coastline, is so spectacular. Reminds me of a camping trip there 20 yrs ago when our three daughters were under 4, best family holiday we ever had. Started with a day of heavy rain and turned into bright sunshine and warmest location in the uk for 10 days. West coast can't be beat if you have the weather and a breeze to keep the midges away

[@Jonwa63]

15.28 I think that cottage glimpsed on the left is the holiday cottage my mother & father in-law used to use, just below the waterfall with the occasional eagle soaring on the clifftop and otters playing on the waters edge.

[@Kornholeeoo]

“They tend to travel in clumps!” Now that cracked me up! I’m up in New Hampshire again and got to spend 3 days here for bike week. Sitting in my room watching this series and really enjoying it. Just upgraded to the GoPro Hero 7 Black and loving the quality of it. I had bought the Rylo 360 and had it on the front of my bike for a track day run but it overheated and shut off and I didn’t notice it so I missed getting footage of that. Didn’t know it had overheating issues. So I’ll keep it but film it in the open case now. Had it in the full protection case. So I went to Best Buy and got the GoPro on sale for $329 USD. I so wish I had it on track day. Of well. Lesson learned. Thanks for the videos. Relaxing to watch!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching....

[@randersson3672]

Very, very nice mr TMF, thank you for letting us come along with you !

[@Hodmeister]

Wow loving the drone shots, amazing how the dynamic changes with this addition, great stuff :-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Nick - glad you liked it!

[@M4BoarBiker]

Congratulations TMF, you've managed to turn me green with envy yet again. As you know I love the Western side of Scotland. Watching you on this adventure just reinforces my opinion. You are a lucky man Sir. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@martinfrost3596]

Great week for TMF vids. Mon. excellent review on Speed Triple RS. Wed Great live chat. And Finally this awesome tour of West Scotland.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Martin - glad you approve! Stay tuned.....

[@santoshphatak7967]

Wow !!!!!!! What a place to roam around !!!!!!!!! Wish I could visit it some day ............................

[@zorrozorro42]

Great video again mate, it's making me home-sick. Loved the drone shots & especially the Tangerine dreamesque music. Wait 'til you come over the hill and see the coast from Arisaig up to Morar laid before you, the most awesome view in Scotland imo.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes, stunning part of the world for sure - stay tuned for Friday's episode!

[@daveyoude2828]

Very good..... great shot but also it's great to see a biker exploring the wilds.... guessing where the ferry goes and not stressed about missing it and having to work out alternative plans.... great adventure..!.. keep em coming ..🏍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Dave....

[@spetersonmusic]

Awesome installment. Love the drone footage, adds enjoyable perspective and wonderful panoramas. Always enjoy Friday's uploads for an wonderful way to spend eating my lunch here in the USA.

[@GaiaMoto]

I love those single tracks so much... appreciate your vlog!!

[@49googie]

The yellow plant you refer to is called Broom, you get it in N.I.& Scotland and in full bloom when suns out I has a coconut smell. Lovely part of the world

[@oldgrumpybiker2967]

Excellent brought back memories from 3 years ago which was my third visit. Photographers probably looking for the White tail sea eagles, the reason I go up there. Drone footage great.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers OGB and thanks for watching - TMF

[@markwilliams9793]

Wow, fantastic scenery.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...and it just gets better on this tour Mark - stay tuned for the next episode tomorrow!

[@mototravelduo3955]

Great video again the drone footage was fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@markhenry192]

Beautiful Island and perfect bike for the job. Thanks.

[@cmbiker8147]

Another great tour. Your making me miss riding in Scotland. I think it’s about time for another trip. Always enjoy your videos and your outlook on bikes and life in general.

[@reksubbn3961]

Christian RT rider I agree. Love the idea of riding just for the fun of it. Especially with great scenery.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers!

[@scottmitchell6371]

Beautiful spot the drone added to the whole experience.

[@jakecray5401]

Absolutely beautiful Drone shots, amazing video and county side!

[@bobsmith5678]

Part 2 did not disappoint. Amazing drone shots it will be good to see more of them.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

More coming Bob, and the scenery gets better!

[@cctv5277]

Brings back some happy memories of childhood holidays. Looks great! The bit with the drone was a nice touch, like it. I’ve come down to London with the family for the weekend, popped over to Hyde park and got chatting with one of the security staff who was with his Tiger 1050. You were brought up in conversation, how about that. Me an exile Sunderland lad living in East Yorkshire and him a guy from London, chance meeting and both TMF subscribers. Bringing people together 🙂.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Fabulous!

[@richardfellows4735]

Impressive drone’age, cracking scenery! Good work as always

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Richard

[@tricky.pixels]

Always a pleasure to watch the travel videos but I'm blown away by your Drone footage....and the music compliments it beautifully.

[@philipchandler330]

Excellent journey and safe riding skills demonstration

[@tonytrevino3204]

Great vlog, You are really stepping up your game. Good job. Looking forward to the next one, can't wait!

[@patricklall4433]

Really enjoyed this video (watch a lot of your stuff). Thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Patrick!

[@timalick2]

Looking forward to the next part of the trip.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned!

[@dadwold]

"Wow" TMF what a beautiful place it had everything, white vans, MacDonalds on the hoof,and some not to shabby drone footage. Good job looking forward to next episode.

[@kellyabercrombie9769]

Subbed about 4 days ago. You became my absolute favorite with this one. Cheers from the US.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Welcome along Kelly!

[@BiscuitMoto]

Waited all week for this! 30 minutes never felt so quick! back to waiting for Episode 3!

[@ewanoffshore]

Such a beautiful part of the world! Looks like you had decent weather too, which makes all the difference. Eagerly awaiting part 3, great stuff TMF!!

[@russelllocke7180]

You lucky man. Magnificent part of the world. Great vision from land and air. Looking forward to the next leg. Cheers.

[@pauld430]

Awesome roads TMF! The drone shots were epic!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you liked 'em!

[@supergixxers]

thanks for sharing this wonderful trip with us mr TMF looking forward to pick up my first gs rallye and start touring around uk

[@RichO1701e]

Always get a sense of achievement when I do the same(ish) route as one of my favourite KZbinrs! Did Mull yesterday, absolutely blown away with it, like a mini Isle of Skye, but equally as impressive. Fionforte was a lot of effort for not much there, unless you're going to Iona. Where you turned right to go to Salen, I went left and kept following the coast. The road between Dervaig and Balamory was unbelievable! A proper hidden gem.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I must get back up there asap! Great place eh?

[@RichO1701e]

@@TheMissendenFlyer absolutely mate! I took the return ferry from Lochaline to Fishnish, on and off Mull the same day, spent about 6 hours there, but could easily knock 2hrs off without going to Fionphort. Thanks for the vid Andy, it gave me the inspiration to get onto Mull. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@garycarr2530]

Great video Andy and stunning scenery

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@palantir135]

Beautiful landscapes. I prefer the single track roads. Small, smaller and the smallest ones as long as they are not offroad types. You se a lot more of the surroundings on these roads. Love your touring video's and love to see more.

[@chrisleecalpoly]

Nice views all over the Isle of Mull -- ancient and unspoilt lands

[@bobatwell7505]

We were on that ferry when we were up there on the Whit bank holiday staying at Fort William, visited Tobermoray then back to the Moran peninsula and on to Glenfinnan Viaduct and Glenfinnan Station, then back to Fort William , fabulous days riding . Great video series. Next episode 3 BOB

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it's biking heaven up there isn't it....thanks for watching Bob!

[@agibsonian]

Great music choice with those drone shots!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Another fabulous video, brings back fond memories of a tour I did on my old 5th gen VFR over to Mull, we saw Dolphins right where you mentioned them! Looking forward to the rest of the series take care.

[@bikinglife1547]

Your content and the quality of your videos are second to none. I thoroughly enjoy your videos my friend

[@YarekBalear]

Lovely view of Mull there - that 'A' road looks fantastic :)

[@majorbrighton]

When you held up the camera to show the view, I was just waiting for Ye White Van Boyoo! I would have laughed so much ha ha Certainly an incredible atmosphere and thx for sharing some amazing scenery. Yes I agree with everything you have seen.

[@Vernon240]

Awesome TMF. You'll inspire many, myself included, to do this sort of thing!

[@bonnie-voyage1005]

Motorbikes and whiskey, two of My favourite things.

[@paulpartridge2674]

Absolutely stunning, we are so lucky , it's on our doorstep. Added to bucket list roll on next episode 👍

[@ashleyholtz6174]

Drone footage was brilliant! Thank you for another great episode TMF

[@yukiminamoto1502]

Fantastic drone shot sir.😊😊😊 and again what a lovely scenery, 😀😀

[@sirrideabit651]

Excellent series so far Sir, fantastic views and you say it gets better, awesome drone shots for your first official flight.

[@Miata822]

What a lovely ride. I absolutely must tour in the UK one day.

[@tommyrobinson8316]

Enjoyed this - thanks for letting us ride along! The Scottish Western Isles are truly beautiful. Enjoyed the ferry rides - grew up with the Mayport Ferry (30min.) in Florida. Rode on the Vancouver to Nanaimo, BC Ferry (1.5 hours) and the Nova Scotia to Newfoundland Ferry (6-7 hours) a number of times for employment. Riding the Mayport Ferry with my grand daughters this summer for the first time! Want to visit the UK but would probably be stopped at customs and sent back due to political views! My UK bike ride will probably never happen LOL!!! "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson

[@Jungleland33]

Went to Mull and Iona with college a few years ago. Beautiful part of the world. Must get back there on the bike some time soon.

[@seanfrank4158]

Just stunning. I love it.

[@81vaar]

Perfect Friday evening viewing material, thank you!

[@ThegWindsor]

Hi great video keep them coming look forward to the next instalment drone videos are good

[@motoventure_6938]

Nice one TMF. Great video and ride with some fantastic and beautiful scenery

[@whiskybiker4505]

Great route again! And you past the exact spot I took the picture for my KZbin channel banner (no vids yet), brings back good memories.

[@aug9301]

Great videos and commentary, not to mention the scenery. I became acquainted with your motovlogs after your Goldwing purchase. I too have the red DCT Tour non-airbag in Virginia, US. Absolutely love the bike with just over 30,000 miles after 2.2 years. Off to California in May, which promises to be a beautiful ride. Stay safe and keep the videos coming!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great stuff thanks Gabriel - so glad you found me!

[@toddshaw1880]

I have just purchased a GS and all of your videos have been quite informative. Thanks for all the work you have put into them. If you ever make it to the states, we have a nice Trans Wisconsin Trail you could hit up. Thanks again

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Todd - I will be back to the States in due course!

[@gazoutabout]

Watched to get some side trip ideas for my Scotland trip next week, nice, cheers matey Gaz 😎

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for the inspiration; I’m headed for Scotland after lockdown.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Me too - see you there!

[@dnlgrhm]

All great - the drone shots were particularly wonderful.

[@duncanblanchard334]

Very enjoyable video, it’s lovely to ride along with you on these tours. Your rolling commentary is relaxing and informative, and the drone will only add to the very high standard your setting. I really think you should consider having a Patreon account, just to let people help you out a little, it’s not begging. Can’t wait for episode 3.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Duncan....appreciated

[@timgibson2540]

Enjoyed the second episode & look forward to the next one 👍

[@Davidlouis3]

Love these touring vids takes a bit of bottle flyer 👍 well done

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you like them! Cheers!

[@SteveInskip]

Cracking vid MrF. It’s ages since I went to the Scottish islands; must get back there before too long. Good work on the drone and nice of MrsF to do the backing drums & vocals. A woman of limitless talent (including shoving a bounty bar where the sun don’t shine if she watches the first part of the vid). Agreed with you that it’s the best tour yet! Looking forward to the next instalment. Have a good weekend!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

This one just gets better Steve - thanks for watching and same to you...

[@SteveInskip]

TheMissendenFlyer looking forward to next Friday then! For you interest; I’ve got a really tasty touring project in about a year from now. I’ll mail the details....see what you think.

[@NSteele76]

You have me wishing I had time to fit Mull into my tour. I'm heading North on Friday to ride the NC500, really looking forward to the West Coast! I've done some of the highlands in the car (didn't fancy some of the NC500 in the car) and spent the whole time wishing I was on the bike. So this year the Big Viffer gets to see Scotland and the FType will get to stretch its legs down to Switzerland/Italy, later in the year. Looking forward to watching the next episode, safe biking/flying TMF

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Have fun!

[@rento1973]

Another belting video Sir. Roll on the next instalment! I’ve taken to watching them with lunchtime sandwich; great stuff.

[@ralphcook3439]

Great drone shots!

[@690ADV]

awesome, can't wait for the next vid! keep them going.

[@garya3056]

Looks like an amazing trip, TMF. Brave of you to eat ferry food! 🏍👍🏍

[@Bornie205]

Very enjoyable. Great work mr TMF

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you...

[@JIMWSMITH]

I was wondering for future videos, if you would maybe consider doing a section on touring in the uk ,What to pack , what to do, what not to do. How to pack paniers etc. And what bike wear to use for touring & waterproofs.

[@gdfggggg]

Yes
