We’ve found a new Café! The Royal Enfield Classic 350 Takes me to Lakeside Café Colne

I’m venturing over the boarder again into Lancashire, The Royal Enfield Classic 350 takes me to Lakeside Café in Colne.
Riding over the bleak moors of Bronte Country, I had a good appetite ready to enjoy the sarnie and coffee. It’s a lovely place sitting looking over the lake, and just for once the weather was good!
Get your kit on, off we go
Ride safe,
Dave

"If he's not happy, get a bike!" Good advice.

[@garrysmith9246]

Thanks, Dave, great ride out as usual

[@paulmuench7830]

Great outing w Betsy. Thank you.

[@Peter234100]

Bestie and her siblings have to be the most relaxing bikes to ride, at least I have not found a better bike to ride in 53 years of biking. Watching the traffic at lights makes you realise why biking is such fun ! 😊

[@FelliniMotorcycle]

Ride and views are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

Lovely little ride out beautiful scenery few pot holes as usual in uk but weather was nice can’t complain hope you enjoyed it take care ride safe mate

[@parh02]

Lovely scenery I have lived around Skipton all my life and never knew about the existence of the route that you followed.

[@iggyzorro2406]

nice smooth ride - thanx

[@johnwatts3645]

Thanks for that ,living in Barnsley myself I’m going to give that place a try

[@johnbiddal5951]

Some drivers get very stressed in traffic queues, I've noticed. The highways Dept are installing 3 way traffic lights on a local major road and the traffic queues at times are very long. Pootling slowly past on my 350 Scooter, I've seen drivers out of their cars arguing, one bloke jumped out of his car and I had to basically offside to miss him as he thumped on the driver's window of the car in front.😮 They need to watch your very relaxing videos, and calm down. 😊

[@derbyshireruralrider9398]

Looks a nice setting

[@nielsbrusgaard8448]

A Danish biker with the same "agenda" as you, (however no video on KZbin). Very nice to follow your exploration of the English countryside. Thank You.

The big house on the left at 10.30 used to be a pub, went to a Christmas rally there once in the 90s, camped in the beer garden and it dropped to -10 overnight !!!

[@thatblokeonamotorbike]

Hell that's cold mate. The things we did back then.

[@Paul.Gascoyneuk]

Free time a warm sunny day and a motorcycle ,perfect , really enjoyed this if car drivers aren’t happy they should get a bike and get a life , Stay Sunny Side Up 🤟

[@terryjackman]

You rode past my house as you came through Queensbury. The road you were going to explore is Black Moor Rd. It is not very long, but, nice to ride and the views are great. It brings you out where you drop down that very steep twisty hill into Haworth 👍

[@enfield7123]

Another brilliant video...Nice to see the cafe you pop into .. i have a Enfield intersepter and like travelling to out of town cafe just for the run out .. so its nice to see where u land I am off from hull to the motorbike museum solihull Coventry hopefully soon for a coffee and a walk round hopefully

[@thatblokeonamotorbike]

Hi, it's really good down there. Loads to look at. Stay safe, Dave

[@thimbur3543]

Ball Grove Country Park, as it's rather grandly known. I've walked through there many times in the past on my way to Wycoller. Used to be the site of one of the largest light tanneries in Europe. The Emmott Arms is quite a nice pub, does decent food, and if you're unlucky you might bump into my brother and his dog. 😀

[@glynharper1066]

It was good to see you on our old test route, cow sh☆t corner and a bit of history once again.

[@thatblokeonamotorbike]

It did bring back some memories, stay safe mate

[@DCGULL01]

So, been in the hospital for a MONTH, Dave! nice to be able to say thank you!

[@thatblokeonamotorbike]

Hi mate, I was wondering how you were going on and where you were. So glad you're back with us. Stay safe mate, Dave

[@Jim-nm1en]

Wy do so many dipstick car drivers not realise that filtering IS allowed in the UK? And before anyone tries to jump on my case, I am a car driver, a long time biker, and a retired HGV driver so I do know the highway code rules. If you are a frustrated car driver who doesn't like being stuck in slow traffic, why not consider getting a motorcycle ? It is a far less stressful way of getting about.

[@nigelquick4017]

I totally agree with you!!!

[@chrisweeks6973]

Eeh, Dave, tha's a brave lad! Fancy going unarmed into enemy territory like that... 😉 Of course, they knew who you were the moment you got to the cafe door; that's why they charged you so much. Locals would have been charged half the price! 🤣 Nice ride through lovely country. 👍

[@paulkiley4667]

I'm guessing you're from the Barnsley area then? I've ridden some of these very roads which are local to me. We have some decent(ish) roads and nice scenery! I'm getting more and more tempted with the Royal Enfields especially with the release of the new Guerilla which has thrown yet another spanner in the works. I was seriously tempted with the Classic 350 until I saw that! As a second bike to sit alongside my Tracer 900 with an easy to justify price tag,I reckon they're hard to beat!

[@kevindarkstar]

Looks loverly, mind you the price seems to be a bit high and that road as you came out 😮 mind you like a ton of roads lately, but especially bad for bikes

[@thatblokeonamotorbike]

The price was a bit of a shock, cash only as well, I had 5p left in change. Ride safe, Dave

[@michaelnicholson5218]

Hi, Just have to say this. I was out today on my 350, enjoying the ride in the sunshine at 45 mph in a 50mph limit. It was so so, satisfying to pass a mobile speed camera with 5 mph to spare ! I could have ""waved"" at them !! It was one of those A roads, where there is no earthly reason for the restricted limit except to remove your cash from you. I always stick to the legal limits, just to spite the system and the highway robbery we are all subjected to these days. Rant over. Did you take your passport with you when you crossed to the dark side??... Regards MikeN

Dont know, but I dont think the Silkstone mining disaster involved fire apart from the winding engine fire being extinguished by flooding, which put the lift out of action. This caused many adults and children trapped at the bottom. The adults stayed put , but the children tried to escape up a ventilation shaft but were engulfed in a flood coming down and 26 were trapped against a door and drowned. About 15 stronger children managed to nip into a side tunnel and were later rescued , including the adults. Absolutely awful . In some mines, children as young as 3 went down with their fathers to hold a candle for them , f*****g hell.
