What's going on with the channel?

[@EdwardScott-c4h]

Get yourself a little collapsible fishing rod and reel. Take a flask and enjoy those quiet rivers. Lovely.

[@iantoy7778]

Good idea!

[@lampy541]

I think the "I've just seen" and " I wonder where that goes" becomes part of your vocabulary once you get a Himalayan. Keep on riding it keeps your mind and body in sync Ian. I've had a few visits to the hospital myself over the last 2 years and I'm a couple of years in front of you 😂 Between playing rugby,stock car racing and throwing myself at the scenery at high speed from motorbikes I'm not doing so bad. As I said to the consultant last week " If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself". 🙃

[@iantoy7778]

Yeah right 🤣 You wouldn't have changed a thing

[@lampy541]

​@@iantoy7778This is also true 🤣

[@misAdventuresonGenie-uw8bu]

Love it when you say "Tell you what, I've just seen a track!" That's what I bought my Himalayan for as well.

[@iantoy7778]

Perfect bike for the job

[@howardmann5634]

We’re here for a good time not a long time top vid mate

[@iantoy7778]

Yes we need to enjoy life while we can

[@philmorrow2446]

Really enjoyed the spin out and the chat. What a cracking camping spot at the end there. I agree with you about the possibility of decent fishing there too.

[@iantoy7778]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@markwood9755]

Started watching your videos for bike stuff, however really enjoying Bulgarian and lifestyle content, always happy when one of your notifications pop up. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to keep us entertained.

[@iantoy7778]

Great to hear!

[@thebingleywheeler]

What a cracking ride out there and what a brilliant attitude to dealing with life in general 👍🏻

[@iantoy7778]

Cheers Dave

[@gerrymcivor374]

What a beautiful spot.

[@iantoy7778]

Yes it is

[@MrVinnyh]

99% of your content Ian, I have enjoyed. For me it's a location I probably never visit, but the views are just great. On the M/C side newish bikes, repairs just as interesting and lot of the information is transferable. Please keep your content up, I watch the camping biker due to the mixed output.

[@iantoy7778]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@richardjones3112]

Quality over quantity-that’s what I like about your channel.Don’t feel pressured.

[@iantoy7778]

I appreciate that!

[@BillCook62]

Your health comes first Ian. Don't feel pressurised to keep us entertained. We can wait.

[@iantoy7778]

Thanks Bill. I am trying to keep an eye on him but he's a devil for escaping when my backs turned. Sue

[@velocettektt]

Hi Ian. I started watching your videos because I am a Royal Enfield owner and I enjoyed your views on your own bikes and watching the work that you have done on them. My guess is that you will struggle to use 3 bikes, especially the Interceptor that likes faster roads. Depending on funds why not get a project? Maybe an old Redditch Bullet that needs some restoration? Maybe sell the Interceptor to fund the project and make space in your workshop. You would have plenty of content then to keep you going and I am sure we would all enjoy following your progress.

[@iantoy7778]

Don't give him any ideas. I have enough problems with him as it is 😂Sue

[@ogasi1798]

wake up, do life stuff, ride, go home, do life stuff - repeat 🙂 enjoy yourself marra , that's why we are here

[@iantoy7778]

Very true. I intend to make the most of it

[@DonHenderson]

Thanks for the update, lovely countryside. reasonable day here yesterday so had the scram out for a run. Apart from the aches and pains (mainly due to unlocking it and putting the chains and locks back on LOL) has done me the world of good mentally. you have your priorities straight 1 Wife and health 2 The Bikes 3 KZbin (even if its just talking at/interacting with other people who get where you are coming from.) stay strong mate and see you in the next Video. Don

[@iantoy7778]

Thanks Don. It's not easy keeping Ian on the straight and narrow 😂I know a ride out on the bike is the best form of medicine for him.

[@DonHenderson]

@@iantoy7778 Thank you Sue x

[@WiltshireMan]

Try and keep your clogs for a few more years and keep doing the things that do you good:) A lot of us enjoy watching.

[@iantoy7778]

That's the plan!

[@larrywade9041]

Hi again my friend, I sent you a comment about 2-3 months ago & told you I was buying a 411 himalayan. Am really enjoying it. In June, I had a T.I.A. & then I went in for a procedure & they gave me a small stroke. Anyway, I'm like you & am doing finefor 73 y.y. I'm a little slower than before, but hope for a full recovery. I struggle getting my (2) Guzzi's (600 lb) bikes out due to their weight, but did manage. Also have a Kawasaki 800, a Monkey, & a Yamaha Vino scooter. Too much shit, but I love them. Have a beautiful day!! Cheer's!! Illinois, USA

Your welcome

Very beautiful area but the winter sounds grim

[@iantoy7778]

They can be but you get used to it. Plenty of wood in the shed for roaring log fires

[@Gerodunord]

Hi Ian, I'm lucky I still have a lot of work to do on my Himalayan to try to make it as beautiful as yours 🤩! Thanks for this episode and see you soon 😉

[@DonHenderson]

Hi Gerodunord, due to health, I am not raising a spanner in anger on my scram unless needed, (maybe a set of better mirrors and handguards) but we are all different, Life is all about the people we meet along the way. Just remember you are only young once, from a very broken old git lol, ride safe and stay young. Don

[@iantoy7778]

You can do it!

[@iantoy7778]

Riding a bike is the best form of medication. It always puts a smile on Ian's face. Ride safe and get out whenever you can, Sue

[@Gerodunord]

Hi , do you know of any biker clubs or biker event's with in your location or further afield? we love the channel.

[@iantoy7778]

There are plenty of biker events but mainly cruisers with attitude or sportsbikes revving the guts out all night.

[@macthejack4962]

You videos are great .. what area are you living in?? Reminds me of my trips to Scotland and north wales.. keep them coming .. almost convinced to buy a place .. what kind of average price to get a home like you guys ?? Both compliment each other .. ying and yang 😊

[@iantoy7778]

We are in the NW of Bulgaria. House prices have gone up considerably the last few years since covid. Prices depend very much on which part of the country you are in. Renovated to good standard are anything from 80K Euros to 250 K Euros

[@kevbaldwin9552]

Look after yourself first and foremost Ian .Do the things in life that make you happy. Dont let the chanel become a demanding mistress .if you do one video a week or one a fortnight its fine .👍

[@iantoy7778]

Thanks

[@BobfmBali]

Take your time we all understand your not 100% just now; don't feel pressured to create content. Maybe you can find an old abandoned soviet bike, that needs parts that are readily available and cheap as a project bike? Personally I enjoy watching how you work on any workshop update/repair 👍

[@iantoy7778]

Not too sure what Sue would say if I bought another bike even if it was cheap

[@johnbellamy6449]

always enjoy your content Ian . wouid your wife stay in Bulgaria if anything happened to you .?

[@iantoy7778]

Certainly my thoughts at the moment are that I would stay in Bulgaria. Sue
