Riding with my Girl: A Motorcycle Trip with INCREDIBLE roads PART 2

Hey Everyone,
In this video, I share the second 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.
On this day, we met up with my partner mike and have a wonderful day :)
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.

You have to feel sorry for those poor people living down south who will never experience our dales roads, such a shame. When the sun is shining and the summer heat hits your back it really is "gods own country ".

[@UsernameKate]

Summer heat HITS your back IAN WHAT A RARE BUT INCREDIBLE feeling 🥰

[@woofiooxx]

Can say the same for you Ian, poor people living down south 😂

[@darylneal989]

Looks good enough for this Gods Own Country Kiwi to add to his Nrthrn Hem. OE.

[@Brettall65]

Another great video kate ,I wish you and lily ,were miked up and we could hear some of your chat and banter ,like you and mike are at times, keep up the good work

[@UsernameKate]

Haha Lillie didn't want coms if I remember correctly. Not everyone does and the priority wasn't me trying to persuade her into something she didn't want 😊 we just wanted a good time.

[@ferkle1980]

Most of the video was Miked up, he arrived at the breakfast stop on the Enfield 😊

[@Brettall65]

That's fair enough ,thanks for the reply Kate

[@andreafrancis678]

Aww, I love a girl's trip. It looks like you had fun, on those bikes 🏍 😊

[@UsernameKate]

So much fun!

[@keitht3055]

I'm just watching you and Lilly and thinking, Roll on Summer 😎! By the way, there seemed to be a fair bit of grub in these two vlogs 🤔lol. 👍🏍.

[@norriemasson4080]

Fantastic tour there Girls, some crack’n roads to boot, I’ll have to try and persuade our Motley Crew to look at that for next year (annual tour) we’re doing the NC 500 The Wrong Way Round (Anti Clockwise) and Skye this year, Hopefully the weather will have settled by the end of May 🙏

[@martinhughes9769]

Can’t beat beautiful countryside and lovely roads,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@florme6494]

I’m loving the rear end of Lilly’s bike. That rear tyre is really on show with the I assume tail tidy. You all ride very well. Great scenery.

[@andyb3331]

Awesome roads Kate - always fancied a bit of a Yorkshire explore - we`re based in West Cornwall so we normally just jump on the ferry to France or Spain - your Vid has given me the kick in the arse to head North!! 👌

[@darylneal989]

Ditto, and I'm in the sharp end of New Zealand.

[@chrismillington2729]

Thx Kate, how lucky we all are, such Majestic countryside within the Little Island we call home. Thx as always, stay safe, ride free. Kinds regards Chris.

[@sharonpettman1274]

What a beautiful country we live in, stunning weather and views, thanks for the trip ❤

[@specialandroid1603]

No better way to explore it than on a motorcycle

[@paulreynolds2898]

Wow. so impressed with the ride, the photography, the location and roads, the scenery, the banter and humour, your confidence and skills, your appreciation of nature, subscribed until I stop breathing. Now I can rekindle something in my first year of retirement, ( get a bike and take part again ) I needed a goal, you helped me find it. ✌

[@Creativehealing444]

Oh Kate, I love the way you love your rides, your food, your mates and life in general. 😂😍🙌🏻 Thank you so much ❤

[@user-xk1pz6iy5y]

Hallo So nice nice to see you too together (three) nice roads and well ridden roads! /Johan roslagen sweden

[@danweston6043]

Great vlog Kate. Beautiful roads .Yours and Lily's banter is ace 😊

[@stevesalldayventures]

Great vid 🙂 some of my fave routes/roads covered. Such a shame Hartside cafe was lost and has not been rebuilt yet.

[@phillwagstaff4425]

Another Awesome video can't wait to see trips from this year

[@ferkle1980]

Lovely stuff. Another great day out.

[@yorkshire1290DUKE-R]

Beautiful scenery, and the best way to see it.

[@londonbiker]

Love these touring vids with Lillie, you make me feel I've been there, fantastic!

[@jpmotorsport4728]

Another v scenic tour round 🙏🏽🏍😎 Great drone footage Mike 👍🏽Always great vlogs Thankyou

[@DaveVaughan2004]

Stunning weather and views.

[@TheHdleif]

Your trip vids are awesome! You should do a lot more of them, especially with Lilly and your other girl friend`s. Keep up the great work!

[@RealBesty]

Quite new to your channel - love your style. Can’t ride myself these days so glad of the rider’s views and beautiful scenery :)

[@markpendleton9595]

thanks for the trip, wow what a stunning country we have ! enjoyed all. ride safe all x

[@MrUncleHermit]

Another beautiful Yorkshire video. Your advanced road positioning is coming into its own there Kate.

[@technohamster4783]

Great video, them roads and that weather👍 we can only hope we get more of the sunshine this year.

[@stephenrice9497]

Great video and thanks for sharing- got some good ideas for places to visit!

[@robcreel4257]

Epic roads and scenery! And weather. Good to see Lillie. Mike and his cameo too. Great ride! Take care, ride safe!

[@user-gb1lb6yq1i]

Great ride, lovely day, Lily is a blast , love to yall!!

[@marcbrasse747]

Another great trip, Kate! 👍

[@saffylooloo]

Great to see you up my neck of the woods, those are my weekend rides for sure around Teesdale, Middleton and Alston. Hartside used to have one of the best and most popular bikers cafes in the north, so sad its gone now. Looks like you had fab weather too. Great content, love these joint tours away vids. Looking forward already to your Northumberland 250 tour, I did the same just the other year and the roads are sublime.

[@John-L-1961]

Love these two vids, some stunning roads and some stunning views. I know you are all about bikes and riding bikes but i cannot believe you never mentioned that Gorgeous C1 Corvette 😍🥰parked up at the Hartside view point 😲.

[@ed7540]

Thank you Kate and Lilly I really enjoyed those videos. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏that’s what I signed up for just getting out there and having fun it’s put a smile on my face 👏👏🤗🤗keep safe.

[@garryclarke-kray4071]

Lovely roads great weather , good company

[@zuperzapify]

Dang...ssoo looking fw to good weather (no rain) in my lack of the woods. Loved your ice cream tour, thx!

[@bowedebrand2088]

Lovely roads - lovely comments - lovely girls 😀😀😀❤❤❤

[@loftysaltmarsh69]

You were certainly getting a wriggle on down that fabulous road. 👍🏁

[@malcolmmyatt9092]

Thank you for posting, it’s brought back some lovely memories of my holiday in Northumberland then back down into Yorkshire and seeing Hawes again. That lovely accent you have. You would have hated me towing a caravan but I had no idea of the roads and trip I encountered. My wife and I are from Wales and thought the roads would not be as tiny in Wales. I’m also a biker aged 72 and oh how I was wishing I could do it again on my bike. Your part of the country is beautiful. 😊😊

[@davidbrambill1335]

Love the trips with your friends best and the hotel reviews with your sister 💕

[@jimmarshall807]

Looks like a great ride, I know some of those roads but plenty more to explore!

[@maryknightsriders6554]

Girls trips are great. You took some brilliant roads. Loved watching the ride.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! I really enjoyed that. You are great, it was wonderful to have Mike along. That new haircut reminds me of War Daddy , suits him. And Lillie , always a pleasure. Absolutely beautiful. As always I love the English countryside. Amazing! Best!

[@NooBiker]

Great views again. Good dronage 👍👍 memories of 2022 for me...

[@Ninja-400-girl]

You had great weather there for that ride. I cannot wait to get out myself! ( unable to until my flat get repaired 😞 friday) Great food and nice roads too, Ride safe every time out.

[@zCritic]

Buzzing to see Hartside in your video's! I was telling Mike, I used to go up there all the time in the cars when the cafe was there.

[@robertmenzies6939]

Another great vid loved that Kate. Those roads look amazing and weather looks even better. Those roads look so good even might make the ride up from Devon to check them out.

[@ttrguy9952]

Kate Great video! I love that morning breakfast spot. Nothing like eating a delicious bacon sandwich in a beautiful place. The bacon looked top shelf. I think Lillie is fantastic rider and absolutely adorable! What a fabulous Lady! I could watch you two demons riding all day long. Mike was hilarious with his little off road stunt! The beautiful scenery there is mind boggling. The drone footage was fantastic! Those roads and the rolling countryside are to die for! I'm thinking the UK is definitely on my short list to visit. I think the videos of this trip are the best you have done Kate! Great stuff. I can't wait for your next outing with lovely Lillie! 🌹 Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍👍

[@motocrad]

Nice one, Kate! The North Pennines are a hidden gem - open, flowing roads, great views, very few cars. Perfect. I nearly ended on that corner where you stopped to film with the drone. I overdid it on a gixxer and ended up lying with the sheep, the gixxer entangled in the fence. An expensive lesson learned. Thankfully, pride was hurt more than me. 😃

[@adammcallister2260]

That really was a C1 Corvette at the ice cream van. A rare and special thing indeed. Looks like you 3 had fun out there! I’ve only been up there once many years ago. No excuse now I’ve got a full licence!

[@tonyw3250]

I live in Australia, but it was nice to see you riding my old local roads and getting a feed at Devils bridge

[@rlw85]

Really enjoyed this video 😊

[@Aonarach415]

Great ride vid. That bakery looks amazing!

[@brunanburh937AD]

Stunning road over the hartside …. Dropping down through into Cumbria and onto Penrith , stay on the A6 down through to Preston … gorgeous

[@stevenwarner7348]

Same from me.... (Here in New Hampshire). ~ and I thought we had some nice roads.... Oh My Goodness‼

[@MrScorpiomoon]

Two Amazing ladies with outstanding riding skills. one looking out for the other is perfection. I am highly impressed 💜

[@gk73man51]

Really nice vlog as usual, will be visiting these parts in the next few months, reckon it’s doable for me in a full day trip.

[@Pompomgrenade]

You certainly are versatile username. Kate..👍🏾

[@TL1000S97]

"Hairdo by Helmet!" Naaaisss! 🤪😊 Many thanks Kate for puttin' up videos like this. 😍

[@wilswood8137]

Thank you Kate, loved watching your latest adventure, and always a pleasure to see beautiful Lilly 😍 Hazelnut ice cream 😁 my absolute favourite, I’m now planning a day out to the milking parlour from Hayfield Derbyshire ( home 😊) Going to look at your links to the roads and maybe even make it a cheeky overnight 👍🏼 Keep up the great work Kate 👌

[@ljuborajictt]

Excellent video, it's really a great pleasure to make a trip like this. Beautiful nature and surroundings, 👀👍👍 I think I will be able to visit at least a small part of it on the way to IOM TT, everything looks great. I wish you all always a safe and fantastic drive and a big greeting to everyone from Germany.

[@user-rs6gl5lx6f]

Great Trip Kate👍👍. The food looked yummy. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@kevinpick194]

Have enjoyed many of those roads myself - last year - and this has whetted my appetite for 2024, with a new-to-me Kawasaki Z900RS. Great smooth riding on display.

[@romysargon6872]

I love your videos. Gorgeous roads and villages. I absolutely love it!

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Romy, I appreciate you watching them!!

[@sizzers58]

Awesome two vids with two great riders you've put together there. Lillie looks tremendous to follow and can't wait for what you two get up to next! next! Big 👍

[@UsernameKate]

It all starts again tomorrow for Easter Trip Round 2! 🐇 🐣 🍫 🏍 ⛰️

[@sizzers58]

@@UsernameKate Yaaay!!! thanks for the heads up. Weather will probably be s*** but I know you two won't mind! 😁

[@UsernameKate]

We are used to it 🤣

[@MsDenver2]

Lovely ride and the views fantastic, Judith spoiled you with that feast😊 . We haven’t seen ya Dad for a while, hope he’s ok ? My Enfield classic 350 arrives soon, can’t wait 😊👍🏍️

[@gruff8491]

Langwathby bridge is just a temporary one since the old bridge was washed away. Its been temporary since 1968 😂😂😂. Great vlog ✌️

[@joewilliams5396]

Another great trip. A great watch, I do watch some reviews, but I prefer this type more. Thanks for doing them.

[@UsernameKate]

Can't do these without the reviews unfortunately otherwise I'd have to get a job 🤣

[@zCritic]

That sunny weather! I think I need to get myself a bike.

[@UsernameKate]

Get it done critic!! 😁😁

[@marcbrasse747]

18:20 min: Bed and breakfast? Again great holiday memories. 👍👍

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Great vid thanks. We came down to Alston from St Boswells on Sunday…the roads from Jedburgh down past Kielder Water are fantastic. Then Hartside, Shap Kendal and home to Lancaster.

[@UsernameKate]

Gorgeoussss

[@ravenslament622]

Hiya Kate well absolutely please feel free to film more of your Queenly road adventures so us commoners can enjoy them. Stunning scenery on this trip, any chance lilly could get a mic so we could also hear her banter with you.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Well Hello... First time Watcher..... From West Yorkshire.... You can see why it is called "Gods County"..... Brother lives in Kendal so have driven some of those roads before..... But it is a long time since I Rode a Motorcycle..... Used to ride CB 750`s I had a few of them....Until someone tried to Kill me by pulling out on me!!!! Flew about 50 yards but didn`t break anything.....just concussion.... I will be watching more...... :-)) xxxx

[@davideccles1617]

Another excellent video and Judith’s quiche looked lovely 🎉😊

[@UsernameKate]

Belting it was!

[@user-tz4ev5ss4i]

I have been out twice for a short run this year on my Suzuki bandit up here in Scotland it’s still cold for riding but after watching your videos I can’t wait for the better weather to come

[@Keridus]

Gonna have to get my old bones up to Yorkshire again, the roads there are so good. that drone shot through the s's was great, kudos to Mike. Great little 2 part Vids. Hope life is still treating you as good as it was during the filming of these

[@UsernameKate]

Hey Keridus! It was a wonderful trip and we're just gearing up for our Next Easter trip now 😊 I'm not sure if the weather will treat us well, but we're excited none the less!! 😊

[@warhobbit7951]

I’m doing my full license this year so excited to do something that you both are doing

[@stonesie81]

Great videos as always Kate, I love that part of the country and recommend the Chatterbox cafe at St John's chapel on the A689 (All the food is made to order so not the quickest service but I keep going back) and if you get to Helmsley, look up Ryeburn of Helmsley, some of the best Ice Cream I have had!

[@Amwnvlog]

Bike sound is good omg omg aswome ❤.

[@davideccles1617]

When there is nothing on Tele I was this video it’s calming and down to earth 🎉😊

Done devils bridge its amazing lovely road ride safe Kate 😇

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

Great entertainment Kate yes the more trips out like that would be great if you can fit them in with your busy work schedule Lilly and you are great together and Mike joining you at times would be good too anyway have fun ride safe can’t wait for more like this but also all your stuff is one of the best viewing channels on utube great stuff take care

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks so much! Just try to have a good ole mixture of stuff on here where I can 😊

[@ianfoster5253]

The Middleton in Teas Dale 😉 to Alston is probably one of the best bits of road countryside in the UK imo.AONB ( Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) Like the riders 😂🤘📸

[@kevinroche2481]

Hi Kate I just call it the gix 8s. Love the video, keep up the great work 🏍️💨🏍️💨🏍️💨😘

[@UsernameKate]

Hey Kevin, Yeah, 8s for me.. such a flipping mouthful!

[@DavidLee-et2ss]

Fab roads 💓✌️

[@MalContent]

Enjoyed the video. I hope to do some North based touring myself one day. Lillie should do a KZbin channel.

[@IanTed]

So many good roads in my back yard, happy that you all enjoyed them. The roads around Alston are amazing, great riding in all directions but can be interesting in Winter🥶. Based near Hexham I’m spoilt for choice it’s awful🤣 By the way you visited County Durham, Cumbria and of course Yorkshire and Lancashire, it’s rough up north.

[@IainOConnorMotorcycleTrips]

Did that route and the Teapot cafe last weekend. Great roads. And on our doorstep luckily. 😊

[@IainOConnorMotorcycleTrips]

Also look up Windy Nook bikers cafe at Alston if in area. . The place to be now Hartside cafe burnt down😢. And a cracking road from there to Brampton 👍

[@CortinasAndClassics]

What a fab day. so jealous I miss my bike.

[@colinharrison5501]

was up there last year ,shame no caffe now, fab roads,

[@johnnybgood7812]

Enjoyed this a lot thanks Mr F. This bike has pretty much everything you need from a “go anywhere do anything” bike it seems. Looks are subjective but I really like it. Fantastic value at the price too. My personal issue might be the seat height as, although I’m the same height as you, my legs are a bit shorter but I’m keen to give it a try.

[@rajindernijjer]

Been watching your vlog in Africa brilliant

[@Andrew-qc9xw]

You know a video is good when it makes you want to jump on your motorcycle and go ride NOW!!! Great job Kate and Lily. Magnificent roads and scenery which makes me want to consider a bike like the Interceptor. Slow things down and take it all in. Perfect bike for those types of roads. I’m just on the other side of the planet, is all. Cheers from down under 🇦🇺, Andy

[@stevet8747]

That last cafe you guys went to looked awesome, send a Broccoli , Goats Cheese ,Mushroom and Onion Quiche to New Zealand 😛please

[@UsernameKate]

Cafe!! That was Judith's house 🤣 she'll be made up you thought it was cafe quality though 🤣

[@Hogsterlips]

Going to Devils bridge this easter Sunday🌞, will be packed

[@alanco608]

That Lillie is uncatchable.

[@AJNewnham]

Really envious of those roads, where’s all the nose to tail traffic 🤔

[@justmejohn773]

Enjoyable second part to this trip crocodile.
