6:33 That statement has gotta be the most relatable thing in everyday life for me🤣
Cannot believe you went past a mark 1 Escort and said nothing!😂
Ahh, but that’s the magical valley that time forgot.
@@gavin4423 🤔ooer
Thought the same thing 😂
Wow
Great road. Great bikes. Great company. Great weather! Beautiful Scotland. Love it. Dare I say this but these roads remind me of Tasmania Australia.
Deckchairs! The very manifestation of the great British sense of optimism in the face of the weather!
I’m coming up to 50 and had my license just over a year and wonder what the f**k I’ve been missing all these years. This is the most inspirational channel I have found on here and now want to ride at every opportunity I get. Even though I was based in Edinburgh with my time in the army, I only ever travelled Scotland in the late 70s early 80’s in the back of a car. Can’t wait to get up there again but this time on two wheels.
Many thanks and a pleasure to watch 👍
Thanks very much Paul, that’s fantastic to hear 👍
Really looking forward to this year. 👍
Me too bud, can’t wait! 👍
Oh yes memories memories been on a lot of those roads myself absolutely MINT 👍
Rain or shine, Scotland is beautiful and "atmospheric", with almost an ethereal feel to it in the mist and rain. It never disappoints!
🤘👍👍🤘
I ride all over Europe you just can’t beat going home,definitely the best roads in Britain,brilliant again Bruce thanks mate 👍
Me and my silver sprint are in this video at the Green Welly, I was the one chatting to the rozzas 😂
Lucky to be able to say these are my local roads and got a GS for them this year 😁
Scotland ,by far best riding roads and scenery in the UK
nice mk1 escort!
Love the A82 down Glen coe back home to Drumnadrochit. Second favourite is the invermorrison to Kyle.
yes Bruce what about the mark 1 escort lol
we did most of that last year..making me homesick for Scotland again. Great biking roads and who cares about the weather!
Biker Girl
I think I know the restaurant in Glencoe you’re talking about haha, I went in 2019 and the barman downstairs was not shy about voicing his annoyance at customers, put the whole place on edge. A few tables including me were catching each other’s eyes and making “naughty schoolboy” faces at each other.
I will say the restaurant staff that served me were lovely, let me buy a couple of beers to take back to my tent to enjoy by the loch.
The wife and I made this same trek in late May 22, and it was raining a bit more than what it was here, and it was one of the most beautiful drives any where in the world. The clouds and what seemed like hundreds of waterfalls along “Skyfall” road was fantastic.
Ah, this one just gets better and better. Love the west coast.
Rolled my car dads car where you admired the view 40 years ago, he never did let his car again. Beautiful scenery all the way. No idea where Skyfalll is.
worked in Kyle of Lochalsh quite a bit. The Boss needed the helicopter signing and there were no hire cars/flights. Do you fancy a ride on you bike? Yes you can go the long way, on the way home!!! Gloucester to Skye. What a day. It is the best road in Britain by a long way.
I love Scotland for trips out. Its a Beautiful place.but im always glad to get back home to England
5:57 the border line contempt you have for your customers 😂 the basil fawlty of you tube 😂…. Nice series though mate, love your work.
👍 Great video
Cheers Tic 👍
Drone shots were cool Bruce..
Thanks man, much appreciated 👍
My favourite road to Bruce! 🏍️💨
Used to live on Skye and had to go to Glasgow once a week; this was part of the commute, good times
Another great trip around all that brilliant countryside
Lovely that Bruce, has been a couple of years since I was there. Never dissapoints
Andy will be super happy for the souvenir you hopefully bought him. Will look great next to his new japanese toilet ;)
Scotland is amazing, ridden those roads a few times and can't wait go back. The combination of flowing fast sweepers and outstanding scenery is unbeatable. One thing about the tyres and you saying you felt increasingly confident in them, I think a big factor is the road surfaces. I guess they use local stone, but it's amazingly grippy dry or wet, but it rips through tyres at a astonishing rate.
Skyfall looks epic, but what about that mint Escort Mexico that stopped to let you by? Scotland is such a beautiful place.
Ha Ha, SO many folk have mentioned that escort! 🤣👏👍
awsum
Fantastic landscapes, I've never seen anything like this in person 😳 and the roads look like fun 😄. Thank you Bruce for taking us along.
My pleasure bud 👍
Is there a bad road in all of Scotland? It's just a scale of which one is best really, but I do agree, the road to Skye from Invergarry is definitely the best.
Thanks for the vid Bruce, getting my biking juices going for my summer trips!
Not many! A lot of people miss out The Borders rushing to the Highlands and there is some corkers there.
@@markhewitt6406 I agree, I'm from Teesside, so the borders aren't too far away, love a good blat out that way.
The military firing range area around Otterburn is a lot of fun.
Role on the summer, can’t wait to visit Scotland again 😊
Brilliant stuff Bruce! That brought back a few happy memories from the 1980s and early 1990s. Safe riding to you and the Clan throughout 2024 👍.
Thanks Les, you too bud 👍
I love Scotland for riding..like being abroad, but not..great stuff Bruce. Now I need to go again.
All part of the West Highland Way which i have hiked . Now you have to deal with rain but that's no problem at all.😀🤩
Great video and love those roads- A82/87 heading north then west are awesome rain or shine. I can feel the wanderlust building again…
Unlike last year's vid, I haven't had to watch the bikes coming towards you to see if I'm there as when I did these roads this summer it was pissing the whole way!! I am based in the North East now but originally from Glasgow ( I know, wa's like us...) so I know these roads really well and LOVED riding them again. What really struck me compared to up Aberdeenshire and Cairngorms area is the lack of junctions and options accessing the road. So, you can feel more relaxed as you swing through the bends without being on guard for pull outs so much.
Beautiful Ride!
Looking forward to some antics on your new R1300GS🙂
Awesome. Lets get this booked up for our annual trip Brucie 🏍 💨 🏴
Gimme some dates Micky👍
When you moving back hame the place is beautiful and missing you lol
Sure that was a Ford Escort Mexico when you were on the Skyfall road. Anyway if this is what I’ve got to look forward to on the next Flying Scotsman then bring it on 😳😮
Brilliant footage and so looking forward to this jolly 👌🏻🙌🏻
You’ll love it bud, guaranteed 👍
Looks amazing, 👌👍🏍👌👍
I 100% need to go back up this year 👍🏼
Again Bruce totally amazing scenery and roads👌, been along time since i was up that way really loved it and miss it.
Regards Glenn.👍
One of my favourite escapes! Glencoe just looks unrivalled after it's been raining and all the colours pop.
Editing is top notch on this one too mate 💪🏼👌🏼
Thanks man, much appreciated 👍
Cracking vid, that Glencoe loop is a Sunday run for me based in Oban, great roads up to Kyle.
I remember meeting you at Glencoe… good to see myself in your video… coffee available at Abington anytime you are passing 🏍️🏴 ☕️
You’re a good man, cheers 👍
Very beautiful ride to be sure , thanks for taking us.
Great trip TP, the scenery is top class as is the editing ;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Keep up the great work, these recent vids bring a smile to my face at the minute, especially as my bike is barely out with the weather. Good man!
Cheers Barry 👍
Absolutely stunning, what more can I say except one day I will be going, great second day Bruce 👍👍
Thanks Nigel 👍
Beautiful country, amazing roads, shite weather I wish I was more weather resistant but I’m not so I’ll see it through your camera lens Bruce - keep ‘em coming👍
Stunning Bruce, thank you; this video has reminded me that i need to get back up to Scotland again, as it's been a couple of years since my last visit. Cheers, Andy.
Looks stunning Bruce never been to Scotland but must get up there, keep up the great vids 👍
Currently at Arrochar at Loch Long and heading back home tomorrow over the Cairngorms. I hope the snow storm stays away a while lol
Awesome video again, I love them roads. I'll be on them as much as possible this year.
🙂👍
What a ride that was and all below the speed limit 😂 beautiful scenery I must go to Scotland one day but it’s a long ride from Devon.
Driven that road many time to stargaze on Skye...need to ride it soon!
Love the vids and starting to recognise the Scotland I’ve seen ☔️🌧️😂
I’ve always liked that road down to Loch Etive, before Skyfall it used to be so empty and peaceful. Unfortunately it now gets like the M25 in the middle of tourist season.
Yes Bruce your not wrong about that road up by Loch Claunie and the down the other side Glenshiel all the way to the castle really good biking roads.
My No.1 road is from Laxford Bridge south to Kylesku Bridge on the west coast, this cannot be beaten anywhere in the UK, believe me. 😉
That’s coming 😉👍
great video but you should of taken the Glenelg ferry to skye
You sound like Sean Connery! Love it! Bucket list trip....Yank here.
I stumbled onto to a secret optitions don't want you to know about. You only need to wear one contact lens. Or if you wear glasses wear near and far lenses. This way you don't need expensive varifocles lenses which are a rip off. You can see close up and far away because your brain sorts the images out so works fine. If I wear both contacts I can't see my phone. Also if you wear glasses and a neck tube, wear your glasses over the neck tube on your nose, that way hot air doesn't fog up your glasses. Those anti fog wipes are good too🎉
Cheers Craig! Appreciate the info bud👏👍
Fantastic vid Bruce. Loved the drone shots 👌🏻
If you can’t get used to specs, go to Vietnam, Franco Viet Hospital. Laser eye surgery $ is 850 per eye. Some of the worlds best
Cheers Gary, I had mine lasered back in 2005, been great until a few years ago and now I just feel like my vision isn’t pin-sharp anymore.
Apparently I’m still more or less 20/20 vision, but my specs just clear everything up nicely for me. I’m going back to contacts next week though 👍
Touring down from Yorkshire to Devon this year, but Scotland is definitely a 2025 trip.
When did you go? the ferry was back in June 23 when I did Ardnamurchan Point on my Rebel 1100 and there is a very cheap campsite in Strontian with shop, fuel and cafe nearby if it is getting a bit late to attempt the point which is a lot of single track roads and took a couple of hours from Strontian. It was hard work with the bike loaded up for my motorcamping trip across the final leg from Kilchoen to the lighthouse but the views were worth the effort in the end.
This was June 2023 👍
Great videos as usual just wondering could you do a video on your editing techniques!!
Thanks Stephen, I get asked quite a lot about this. It’s something I’d like to do, but to be honest I just don’t have the time to do one at the moment, pretty much all my time is spent editing as it is just to get the weekly vids and podcast out on time.
Apologies
Hi.
Great videos love my GSA1250
Keep up the great work
What hotel did you use in Oban.
Thanks jr
Cheers John, that’s the Muthu Alexandra hotel in Oban
Really enjoyed the video if doctors give me the all clear I’m going to Scotland 🏴 this year might even go anyway
Loving the vids as ever Bruce, thank you for the inspiration, planning a trip to Wales and a short trip around Norfolk with mates in The Job, thanks to you mate, given me a real buzz to get out and ride to places . Keep up the great work, hopefully i can get booked on a trip in the future.
Also Bruce , there's a company called Fat Skeleton, they produce a set of glasses for bikers, which I forgot how they work, but they don't steam up allegedly, I have yet to purchase a pair, but they aren't too expensive and get a good write up.
Thanks John, I’ll check them out. Enjoy Wales and Norfolk 👍
Hi Teapotone, I’ve recently bought the Roadskin hoodie, cracking quality I have to say. I can’t help but notice you wear what looks like the Helite E turtle airbag vest, I was wondering what size you bought as I’m the same size as you in the hoodie and want to purchase the Helite online.
Brilliant videos as always, great balance of humour, knowledge and seriousness. Can’t wait till the next one✊
Thanks Thomas, great to hear you’re enjoying them 👍
My air vest is an XLL. I’m a 54” chest and 6’3” in height for reference
@@teapotone Thanks for getting back so quickly, I’m about 5’9” 50”. Chest, I’ll give it a go and see how it fits.
Thanks again
There is no better motorcyle than a GS.
Question for you Bruce.
When you got to Glencoe and the mountains you said part of you wanted to climb then but then you said something about being fat. Is there a thin Bruce trying to get out?:)
Glencoe is a wonderful place. My dad was a Scotsman and we had ancestors who lived and died there, they were on the losing side sadly but enough Genes escaped to enable me to be here today:)
Happy New Year
Sandy
If you've already answered this, then I apologise. How do you go about recording the other riders along with yourself? If I was to guess, a splitter with mic routed to one of your speakers??
If you have a video of a tutorial, would you kindly advise what you called it in the title so that I can search for it.
Cheers.
No worries bud, here’s the vid -
Want to record cardo audio on your GoPro? Here's how!
ruclips.net/video/W1-uY381KQ0/видео.html
I have to ask, how do you get such good dynamic range on your gopro ?
I have the same one and I'm wondering if that footage is straight out of cameras or if you do some trickery after the fact.
Great video btw
Thanks bud, it’s just straight out the camera. I do add a tiny bit of colour correction in post, boost contrast and sats a tiny amount if needed, but that’s it.
I never get sick of Scotland and well worth the 400 miles up from Cardiff 😂😂
These tires on the gs sure don’t seem to last long? Get way more mileage on my Dunlop tires on my big Harley ultra 😮😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻 great scenery
Route looks mit bruce
How come your Calimoto app is showing 4 fields on the right? Mine is capable to show only three? And I think in your case none of those are "the next turn arrow". I just looked at the display options and couldn't find anything to change from 3 fields to 4.
I don’t know why you’re only getting 3 fields bud? Mine shows 4 in both landscape and portrait orientations 🤷♂️
Mine is an iPhone, is yours android?
If you tap the fields you can cycle through what each field will display
@@teapotone oh, I thought yours Android too. I guess that's why the difference. Yes, I can cycle through the two smaller fields, but not through the big one with the next turn (it's the size of two). The big one is not changeable on mine. Thank you.
And great video! Watched now all 3 days, you should release day 4 soon 😂
Just listening to your comments on roadsmart 4's. I had them.on the trophy and wasn't keen to start with but after 500 miles or so they somehow just got better and better. Like you said " it's in your head". Happy new year Bruce by the way
Cheers Keith, and you bud👍
When's the east anglia trip going up Bruce?
It’ll be a few months yet bud - I’m trying to work through all the 2023 content chronologically. This trip was in May so still got LOADs more to come 👍
@teapotone no worries mate. Just looking for my 15 minutes of fame lol.
Am so gutted to have missed our Scottish weather 🤣
But glad to see it didn’t dampen the spirits !
On a side note watching the trip later in the year is simply a fantastic way to relive the memories 😊.
Glad I got to have dinner and spend the evening with everyone hearing the tails of the first couple of days 👌.....
Another fantastic tour episode 👏🥃🏴
Thanks Steve, was gutted for you that you missed out on the whole tour, but appreciate you making the effort to come along 👍
"tmf has been here before "🤣🤣
How do people join your rides Bruce probably not this year but defo next
Cheers Martin, head to Chickenstrips.co.uk 👍
If you don't like Scotland in the rain then you don't like Scotland!
Which is the Skyfall road, I've been upto Scotland loads but I don't think I've been on that route
Just tap Skyfall into google maps and it shows you 👍
Although you’ll be a better rider than me being police trained and all that I’m curious as to why you rev the tits off your gs rather than use the torque of the engine.nice video,I love Scotland also.
Didn’t think I did John? There’s plenty more revs at the top to go, but you get very little power up there so I tend to hit maybe 8-9k tops usually before changing gears if I’m on one.
Homage to 3rd gear
think the skyfall road is not that great esp when to many wanna be james bellends on the road
This dude just seems to be in a hurry to cover mileage.
No, I just enjoy riding my bike the way I like to ride it.
You do you bud, I’ll do me 👍
