Know those roads so well Jack, lovely to see you back up here enjoying my back yard. Always carry gaffa tape, gorilla tape even better…
Thanks Ian, are you home from your travels?
@@motomogulYes, great trip but too many dual carriageways. Next time you’re up here it would be great to meet up with you and at least buy you some cake and coffee. I’m staying in the UK next year, probably having a week in Wales…
@@IanTed A meet up would be great Ian. Especially if there’s cake on offer! Not sure about timing of a trip yet but the Borders is definitely my main area to visit next year 👍👍👍
Nice ride through D&G roads are usually pretty empty even at the height of summer most folk bypass the county on their way north to the highlands or big cities. D&G is about 6500 square kilometres with a population just under 150000 so you can see how it’s roads are quiet most of the time👍
That’s just how I like it! 😉🏍️👍
Hi Jack, another great video, thanks.
Just FYI … I spent the last few years fighting the frustrations that come with GoPro’s, I then switched to Osmo Action 3’s and what an UNBELIEVABLE difference, they JUST WORK, absolutely no issues what so ever and as they are cheaper, what you could sell your GP’s for would pretty much buy new Osmo’s.
Honestly mate, you’ll never go back to GoPro I promise you.
G’day mate! I’ll be 53 next month and I have the very same bike. Absolutely love the bloody thing. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Yeah it’s that good. Cheers
It is that good isn’t it? Love mine, couldn’t think of anything that could replace it 🤷🏼♂️
My first visit here, RUclips kindly suggested I watch and as soon as I spotted D&G I was here. D&G was a real discovery for me a couple of years ago on the long way home from the NC500 (plus a bit), what a gem. I rode the A713 from Ayr to Kirkudbright at the end of a very long day. I was blown away and MUST go back again. I recently rode the B6277 from Brough to Alston and then on to Longtown, where you turned left for Gretna I swung right and eventually ended up in Crieff. I am with you on the ABR... way too big for my tastes. I think you made the right choice going to D&G instead. Tip regarding gaffa tape. It takes up a lot less room if you wrap it around the centre section of double ended spanners. Great video, I've just subscribed and will be back for more.
Thanks Neil, and thanks for the tip on gaffa tape. Can you resend me the message you sent after this one? Either resend or send it to motomogul500@gmail.com as it hasn’t loaded into RUclips so I can’t read to respond. Cheers buddy 👍👍👍
@@motomogul I've emailed you my comment to the other video.
@@neilmackinnon3371 👍
pyrenees is wonderful. I went from Santander across to the med on the Spanish side. the came back across the French side, alone
Just returned myself from D&G weekend before last. Excellent riding.A lot of people don't think that's "proper" Scotland for some bizarre reason. All the roads to Alston are great as well.
But that’s a good thing, right? 😉😂👍🏍️
@@motomogul looking forward to seeing Day 2, you only scratched the surface of D&G there!
Thanks for the recommendation to the A66. The road through Annan is quiet and it will take you past Calervock Castle, which is nice.
On the minus side, that piece of tape over the speedo is a bit of a cheat. You should be able to control the speed of the bike, especially in built up areas.
A road alternative is the old A74, now a B road, nice an quiet with no safety camera vans or other distractions. There's a nice road between Balgrennan and Stralton, although you may meet a timber lorry during weekdays. The road between Lockerbie, Eskdalemuir and Selkirk is nice in places as well and a good alternative to the Moffat-Selkirk road. Plus the road past the Meggat and Talla reservoirs
Thanks Wallace. I put the tape on so that I can ride ‘unrestricted’ just like everyone else who doesn’t vlog does. Sometimes I do go over the speed limit but not often and not by much. The risk of prosecution for showing this, even briefly, is ever present and I don’t want to provide an easy pull to a lazy copper.
To put this in perspective, I can see my speed on my phone satnav. I always observe speed limits in villages etc. To blur my speedo in editing for the sake of a few miles an hour would add too much time to the editing process. Therefore, tape it is. You may not agree with it and I’m not forcing anyone to watch.
Thanks anyway for your comments buddy, hope you can see past the tape, so to speak. 👍👍👍
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Pyrenees, no traffic and stunning scenery. Take the N260 and you will not be disappointed
Thanks Pete 👍
Just found your channel, really enjoyed the video, liked and you now have another new subscriber
Thanks for the mention, Jack. Glad you had a good start to your trip.
Jack i have a chin mount and i have also fitted Su-glue around it that is mouldable glue and it is great and sets really good , gives it extra adhesion for peace of mind, thanks for the great vid.
Thanks bud. Yeah, I’ve Sugrued it now and it’s fine again. Pity the Chinmounts sticky stuff isn’t better quality. I’ll do an update in future videos just so people are aware of it. Hate to think if someone losing or damaging their expensive cameras. 👍👍👍
Beautiful scenery mate, I'm very envious!!
Dumfries and Galloway often missed out by those who head for the Highlands but some great roads Jack 👌 cheers for the vid and shout out🏍😁👍👌
Thanks John, and it’s my pleasure. It’s just a small thank you to everyone who gave me advice and made the trip so enjoyable 👍👍👍
A great first instalment Jack. I think that A712 is one of the best roads ive ridden, and done it both ways!! Superb part of the country for biking and sightseeing. Looking forward to the rest of your trips footage. Thank you
Thanks David, it is a fantastic area to visit 👍
Great vlog Jack. Myself and a mate rented a cottage in Morpeth Northumberland for a week and rode the lovely roads from our base into S/SW Scotland, mymate had never been that far north and was literally blown away by the roads and scenery, even though the weather wasn't ideal.
Thanks David. It’s a beautiful place and one that I’ll be revisiting for sure 👍👍👍
Jim bean and coke for me Jack.. just settling down to your video mate. 👍
Nice one. Thanks Dave 👍
Yeap. Another awesome episode there Jack. I think you have got some roads that I have been looking at..
Great editing great vid.. 👍
Thanks Dave. Next day’s video could run into 2 episodes there’s so much to cram in! 😂🏍️👍
Great video as usual. I know those roads quite well as I go to Scotland each year to discover new ones. I'm pleased your getting more subscribers too. Looking forward to the next instalment. Edge
Thanks Edge 👍👍👍
Spectacular part of the country that is often overlooked, I used to have a long weekend every year mountain biking the 7 Stanes centres up there. Hope to pass thro later in the year on the Triumph to do NI weather permitting.
PS nice cap you're wearing at 8:20 ;)
Stopped in Dumfries on Sunday on my way to the boat and the Sun was out.
Straight down the A75? Any detour off that road is brilliant 👍
I never go anywhere without gaffer tape and cable ties Jack, good job you had some to temporarily fix that, great video once again, I think I need a reset ride on my own, my mental health is not so good at the moment, take it easy and hopefully see you around 👍🏻
Thanks buddy. If you’ve not tried solo touring yet you need to give it a try 👍🏍️
If you haven’t explored the Moffat, Hawick, Jedburgh Kelso areas of the borders yet, they are must visits. Recently stayed in the Ettrick valley near St Mary’s loch. The b roads are amazing. Improved so that the massive timber lorries can use them - great surfaces, sweeping curves - and virtually no traffic.
Thanks David. I’m making notes for places to visit next year as the Border’s, from coast to coast are the area I’m planning on visiting next year. 👍👍👍
What the F? Drink, why do you need it? Sounds a bad idea to me after watching your previous vids… boring without drinking what rubbish, not a good reason. Went to a bike rally earlier in the year with 18 mates, I had two drinks and stopped on the Sat eve, joined in with the laughs still. The next day not one of my lot came along on the ride outs that were organised… all had had too much to drink, missed out on a full days riding. Haha. Anyway back to your vid, some lovely roads there and super filming. Chin mount a bit pants then, I will stick with my GoPro 3M pads, never fail. BTW David and I loved the Northumberland 250 you introduced us too, we had great weather too. Ohhh and we were in Alston that weekend when you passed through, more editing to do!! Anyway must head to Dumfries and Galloway, looks brilliant. Safe rides. 👍👍
I certainly won’t be drinking to insensible levels, just as you said, a couple and that’s me done. Glad you enjoyed the NLand250, it’s a great route isn’t it? DandG is a brilliant, beautiful place and really pretty quiet traffic wise. That’s my destination for next year, a full week riding around the Borders, between Northumberland and the Galloway Forest. 👍🏍️
@@motomogul only problem we had with the Northumberland 250 is that it was so amazing, I have a lot of video editing to do, far more than usual, at least I got part 1 done and online yesterday, phew... but of course you have the same issues too! Sounds a good plan there for 2024, a full week. 👍👍
@@FenTour I’m currently wading through the tonnes of footage for the next episode. May have to make a two part thing.
@@motomogul it seems that a days riding and filming on such lovely roads = around 2-3 full evenings editing!!
OK Jack you had a drink.
So fu@king what.
You wonted one u had one.
Long as u can keep control what's the problem.
Keep them videos coming or u will be in trouble, absolutely love them.
Hi Jack, I recently discovered your channel from the Northumberland 250 videos. Really enjoying the content, this and the N250 look great and are now on my list. I went to Ireland for the first time on the bike this year, for the NW200. We rode the causeway coast route to & from the ferry which is great if you've not done it. I'd like to do more of Ireland in the future. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks. 👍🏻
Thank you Trevor. Not done Ireland yet but it’s on my list of places to go 👍
You've done a fair bit of riding on this day just getting up there, roll on the next episode,it's a beautiful area 👍
The next episode is well worth watching. The roads are exceptional and the views magnificent 👍
@motomogul I've been up there, over 20 years ago now, I loved it, and I think a return visit is a little overdue 🤣👍👌🏍🏍👍
nice one Jack gaffa tape works m8 😊
Thanks buddy and yes it does 👍👍👍💪
Hi Jack, just started watching your channel, really enjoying it. I was wondering wat exhaust you have on, it sounds great.
Hi Mark and thank you. It is a full Akrapovic system so it breathes really well and yes I agree, sounds great 👍 Thanks buddy 👍
gorgeous 😍😍
You may have to bite the bullet and kick Gopro in to touch and buy the DJI Osmo Action 3, it’s rock solid! You won’t have any issues.
Not this year but maybe next. They’re not always a nuisance but when you have 3 there’s nearly always something 😬
Whats the helmet Jack?
It’s the LS2 Explorer. I did a review on it a few videos back.
Well, it was a good video until the music started again. Why doesn't anyone want natural sounds or talking? So many people ruin their videos with stupid loud music. At 8-25 I'm done. had to fast forward through all that music. Not for me. 🙄🙄
And you felt the need to tell me that?
@@motomogul Silence is not golden. Don't follow the crowd. Only a few have respectable enjoyable videos. Unless you a millennial or gen x or gen z who thinks loud music is good everywhere. Obviously you never watched itchy boots or the other top adventure rider videos. They sometimes play a little music, but not loud and constantly. They talk and laugh or just natural sounds that you naturally hear outside. Unless you live and work at a carnival. Obviously you're not psychic either or you would have know I would do this. So, yes, I felt the need to tell you. No one else will. Someone has to set you straight. 🙂and be like the few that are the most popular on youtube.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv To imply that Itchyboots is so popular because she plays less music is a pretty ridiculous statement. I find it pretty insulting coming from a non content producer that you get the content for free but then feel compelled to complain about it.
Just to put you straight, yours is the first ever complaint about the music I put into videos. I get very many compliments from people regarding the music and my choices of music. I suggest that if what I create is substandard for your discerning, freeloading tastes, you just stick to Itchyboots and don’t watch me. Nobody asked you to watch.
@@motomogul Noraly is popular because her followers "THINK" she is so intelligent always saying that everything is millions or billions of years old. They listen to her every word. If she would tell them to jump off a bridge, I believe they would do it to please her. The stupid things and lies she tells and they all just praise her like she is a goddess. duh. And then they refer to her as..."OUR Noraly, as if they monetarily support her. Which, they sort of do But not me. 🙄
