As a motorcyclist it’s all about the journey and not the destination! I have been touring for years and non motorcyclists find it hard to understand spending hours plotting routes, but as a motorcyclist you understand the logic of finding the best roads.
I couldn't agree more, I've been finding myself slowly slipping into a "I know what direction I wanna go in but not really where I wanna be" kinda attitude
Who needs sheep friends when you have made donkey friends who will always come to see you. Also the steely composure in the opening drone shot was epic, I expected it to crash into your head :) Throwing the map aside and riding wherever the mood takes you is just one of many reasons your so special Saffy 😘
ahahah I really wanted to do a video similar to the Northumberland 250 but I think I didn't have the energy for this after riding all the way up, I just wanted to have a bit of fun
Great vlog once again Saffy, most people don't realise how long it can take to cover the miles in rural Scotland, an 8 hr run home is hard-core for everyone so much kudos 👏 I hope you enjoyed Scotland and visit again 😎👍🏍🏍
It's absolutely mental. As the crow flys it looks like such a quick journey but the moment you get into the highlands, you're like god damn, this is a long crazy trip
@@SaffySprocket haha yeah that's our country , maybe a bit wet and windy at times but it is what makes it so amazing to see, the colours the views and the sheer vastness of how small we are in comparison and no one at times for miles 🙏❤️
After several days of not washing the human body becomes naturally waterproof, that's what I tell myself. Ridiculous names ! bite your tongue Gaelic is awesome. Hope your listening to Julie Fowlis on this trip.
I have 4 different cameras, 2 GoPros, an SLR and my phone. If I'm ever recording with my mobile phone, usually I'm using the front camera which mirror images the footage :-)
This is why it's better to tour on your own. You can do what you like when you want too. As for the sheep most of them are told from a young age to stay away from bikers 🤔🤣
Thanks for the great content. I’m travelling up from Portsmouth to Scotland next week, then doing the NC500. Camping every night. Hopping the GS1200 will handle the trip.
You are definitely not afraid of the loose gravel on 5hose single track roads. As for sheep...the most stupidest animal ever put on this planet, next to pheasants.
Hi Saffy, nice video, nice to see you smiling again even when things get tough, how you finding sleeping in the tent? For my trips away and set-up I have a groundsheet under the tent, gives a little more comfort for warmth, and use a vango ultralite self inflating mat, and a vango stuff pillow, 3 season sleeping bag with a silk liner, pop in some ear plugs and have a great nights kip. (remembering to sleep in as little as possible) it is easier to warm up in the morning when you layer up,Try taking a couple of paracetamol and a ibuprofen before bed, you'll wake up good as new ready for your adventure.
Ah ibuprofen is a god send! I've been using the gel versions and also heat patches to try and help ease the pain 😅 I love my tent, but I think I stoll need to get use to camping, the first night is always a struggle,.just because you keep waking up every hour with different noises but I'm slowly getting use to it!
@@SaffySprocket ear plugs are a godsend when camping 🏕 and a good mat to sleep on. Have a 12 day trip planned around the UK in July all in the tent. Never in the same place. You'll get it down to a T soon. Then it'll be awesome 👌
Thanks for the all the time and effort making your great adventure videos, I totally admire your courage and charm going off on your trips, looking forward to seeing more, keep up the good work- you go girl 🏍🏍🏍
The roads are the bikers tourist hot spot, just ride and go where it look good! Just thinking about the comments if you were a chap chasing the sheep!!!! Great video again Saffy. Cracking editing as well..
Another stunning visual delight, thank you amazing, your commentary is funny, you really put Rocket down some really off the beaten track places, keep up the fantastic work, and never change, your dizzy moments make me laugh , those sheep you trying to say hello too,made me chuckle take care xx
Hallo, i ride a Suzuki sv 650 too, since 8 months, can you tell me, which sit pad do you use? Because I make long trips in Germany, and the original sit is very hard, thank you very much, regards, Rafael :)
i love your videos, but i was wondering Saffy, what jacket have you got? My female friends is just starting to get into motorbikes and I'm looking to get her some gear when she passes her Direct Access. Have you got any recommendations?
I always go for LS2, cheap, good quality and affordable. I have the Nevada womens suit, it's an all year round suit with multiple layers you can remove in summer. It wasn't a cheap suit but I've already used it 6 months over winter abd the thing still looks brand new. I use a Gerbling heated jacket under my nevada suit :^)
always thoroughly enjoy your commentaries, your dizziness is a great change from those who are serious all the while vlogging, how have got the GoPro on the top box wired in?
I put a GoPro mount on my Top box, I used a Lighter to melt the sticky mount to put it on. I have a 2m cable which you can occasionally see wrapped around my handlebars. When the battery starts to run out on my GoPro, the cable stretches far enough to charge it back up from the USB charger mounted on my handlebar. I also have a leg bag which I often put an external battery in and wire it up to, but I only do this is everything is starting to run out of charge, that way I can charge my phone, 2 GoPro's and my headset all at once whilst on the road. When I don't need to charge my cameras, I throw my battery packs in my top box with the drone on charge :D It sounds more complicated than it is, but I've gotten into quite a good rhythm with keeping everything charged now
www.travel-monkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/SKYEMAP2015.jpg Here is a copy of the map, there are a few other places I visited as well that aren't on camera like Fairy Pools, I basically went anti-clockwise around the entire island - I stopped a lot on the attractions on the right-hand side, however by the time I got North-West I started to do my own thing until the Fairy pools
Who was it that sang “dug up all the trees an put’em in a tree museum and charged the folks a dollar-fifty just to see’m”. You’re absolutely right the scenery is free and by far the best thing. I don’t need an interpretation centre!😂
You did right to follow your own route. Most people visiting the island get sent to the same places so you need advice from someone in the know. I moved to Skye permanently from Lancashire a few years ago - never looked back. Best motorcycling in the UK. I tend to get up VERY early in summer (like 4am) for sunrise and have all the roads to myself. Why they sent you to Lealt Falls I don't know. I always tell our guests not to bother with that or the Fairy Pools. The Trotternish Peninsula is a fantastic loop on a bike and also the road to Elgol as the busses don't go down there... But tbh all the roads are a great adventure! I'd always advise to wild camp (ideally away from the main road), and if you are into a bit of hiking the Skye is the limit... Happy riding!
Hi. Inspired by you vlogs. Really useful information. I like how you put in when it doesn't quite go to plan...makes it real. I just need to get my self in order and use the bike for what I told my wife I was getting it for😁 keep the vlogs coming👍
Good fun! The wind drowned out your voice in places tho - could you get a mic with a windscreen like a Shure MVL plus a 3.5mm jack adapter to fit what ever devices you use ? Oh and can you report that faulty burner to Trading Standards to save someone else from being burnt ?
Another adventure Saffy . I think you should have stayed in your sleeping bag . I heard you say that you where heading home to the Midlands , That's the county I came from many years ago . It was a little village called Long LaWford near Rugby . Keep the adventures coming and ride safe . Mal in Australia
So glad that your channel appeared on my feed. Skye is a great place to tour on a bike. I've done it a few times but since I'm in Glasgow it's not such a long haul for me. Really enjoying your videos, thanks so much for taking the time to produce them and I'm looking forward to watching them all. Good luck on your adventures and Ride safely.
Brilliant again beautiful really enjoyed the video,I agree I alway find tourists attractions rubbish and full of people I don’t want to talk too lol 😂,I go on tour Friday can’t wait, thanks for sharing 👍
Not been to Skye now for about seven years, was once a regular visitor. Watching RUclips videos', can see how the tourist honey spots have changed. Looks like the popularity of these places is distracting from the appeal, to many visitors not respecting these places can damage them, even with the attempt to control numbers with the paid carparks. Good to see you going your own way, next tine take at least a week there. Can't wait to get back, like to go in the autumn much quieter.
Hey, beautiful scenery and camera work Saffy 😍 👌 I can't believe the Isle of Skye has a Jewson, I thought it was just an island of Puffins and Werewolves 😂 also, why were you whispering? Mad head 😂🤣
@@SaffySprocketHahaha, fair enough, I certainly wouldn't of been awake at 6am 😜 i might take my van to the Island for a couple weeks, it's so beautiful
My Nan used to tell me a story about the time she was chased by a sheep, she was in her late teens and liked lamb with mint sauce, so when the sheep came after her she shouted “mint sauce, MINT SAUCE” as she ran away thinking it would stop chasing her in case she ate it 😂
Aye steer clear of "Tourist hotspots" if you can and cut your own swathe.It is much more fun to do your own exploring rather then following the masses.
I know what you mean about tourist hot spots, they are usually rubbish, and pretty much have the most expensive coffee and food. I love just taking a random road, I can't get lost because I have no idea where I am going. lol.
You remind me so much of my Daughter, she looks like you and same mannerisms “ I’m going to send she a link to your page to watch . She doesn’t ride but when she was younger she used to live coming on the back of my bikes camping and trips away .
Sheep 1: Christ my arse is itchy, bloody dingleberries. I'll use my tail to scratch them. Saffy: awe, look at his tail 🥹 Sheep 1: canny get some privacy 'round 'ere?
Fantastic place for biking if you hit the weather right. I just came back yesterday and the weather was a nightmare the two days wind and rain and high winds in places, but still really enjoyed it. The scenery along the landscape from the bridge up to Staffin. On the way home I left Portree at 7am on a Saturday morning and didn't see another thing on the road until got to the bridge.
It was suppose to be manic rain going up and all throughout my trip. I think I got insanely lucky that it only rains on my last day. I heard of people having their tents collapse
I always try to stay away from the tourist spots often using roads that dont seem to get used a lot, you can end up in some amazing places with no one about just yourself and beautiful scenery.
I love the Isle of Skye. Have you considered getting a duel fuel stove? I've got a Coleman 533, it's excellent. It'll cost more than a gas stove but, you'll save a fortune on fuel. I bought mine from Amazon USA for £121. You'll never need another one.
I haven't! I recently replaced my fastboil under warranty so I'll probably just stick with it for another year. I have a shopping list for traveling and I'm kinda focusing on things I don't have yet but may need, so things I already own but aren't the best, tend to fall to the bottom of the purchase pile. I'll probably be buying a first aid kit and a jump start pack before I look at upgrading my cooking equipment
@@SaffySprocket With the miles you do I'd definitely invest in a jump start pack. I'd also invest in a puncture repair kit! The mushroom ones are the best ☺️ As a fellow lady biker, I think you're awesome. Your enthusiasm for our hobby is infectious. I recently came back to biking after a 9 year break from it. I always knew I would and I kept my gear for that day... About three weeks ago, I took delivery of my dream bike: Kawasaki ZZR1400. I hope to visit the Highlands and Peaks this year. I just need to buy a decent tent. 😊
Hi Staff your tour video is very good and for an while I felt like as if I have toured because of the beauty of the Nature and scenes and your Nerration. I can say you have enjoyed a lot of places in your country and the Video is like a feast .All the best and Enjoy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏖️⛱️👍
I've just come across your vlog... Its ace! you've made me smile the whole way through 😊.. I want to do the same thing but i was going to get a cbr650r for around Scotland for camping/salmon fishing... I'm thinking I need to change choice of bike looking at those roads 😂
Ah yeh, some of the roads are crazy! My naked seemed to do just fine! And I have all purpose tires 🤣🤣🤣 a couple of rear end slips here and there but nothing too scary 🤣🤣🤣
@@SaffySprocket ah ok maybe I'm over thinking it to much. I'm in early stages on my biking journey but the thought of doing this will is what made me want to get started.
Dude those roads! Adding Isle of Skye to my (very long) bucket list.
Wish I had spent a few days there tbh 😕
@@SaffySprocket Sounds like there's a future venture to be had!
As a motorcyclist it’s all about the journey and not the destination! I have been touring for years and non motorcyclists find it hard to understand spending hours plotting routes, but as a motorcyclist you understand the logic of finding the best roads.

If it's touristy for the sake of tourism it's usually boring and bland... Better to find your own entertainment in between those silly places.
Enjoyed your adventures on Skye and I agree stay away from the so called tourist spots find your own 👍
It's just so chaotic when there's that many people around
Only you can say "serious gas explosion" and then giggle 😂 never change Safron 😆
🤣🥲🥲🥲 I don't know how I end up in these situations
Great video again Saffy. What is the phone mount and case that you have?
Ultimate Addons :) I have a bar mount for my main bike, I also have a detachable mount for loan bikes but use one phone case!

I don't stop, I just move slower when I'm tired 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another good vlog. Just a question, why is all the writing on things a mirror image?. Or is that normal on action cameras?.
I have 4 different cameras, 2 GoPros, an SLR and my phone. If I'm ever recording with my mobile phone, usually I'm using the front camera which mirror images the footage :-)

Well done Saffy. Love the drone shots. At 3.23 on vid your looking at the map. Why has the cow got a cross on its nose?
ahahaha I tested out the pen before writing on the map to see if the pen worked :D
Well spotted though ahahaha

Sheep are terrifying 😅😂😅
Riding the Isle of Skye is a great ride. Beautiful! Wish more of it was off road though!!!
I'm going to go back again when I can!
Gas explosion? Please, you don't need to go that far to please this viewer! Can't wait to see what happens next!
🥲 I don't know how I end up in these situations
inspirational,keep going Saffy
🥰🥰 thank you
Good enough attempt at gaelic.
An ley allt would be nearer the mark so quite a good guess.
It's so nuts because between Scotland England and Wales, you never know how to pronounce the letters 🤣
Great video as always, can you let me know what Drone you are using, you get some great footage from it

Hi saffy, love the channel. Can I ask what type of drone you use,
DJI Mavic Mini, under 149g so it just bypasses the drone regulations about registration and licence

@@SaffySprocket Yeah, my red wine alarm clock doesn't go off until after 9am 😂😜
Your LS2 gear looks nice 👍 i like Oxford gear also reasonably affordable and hard wearing
It's not always the best idea to use a phone as a sat-nav. Invest in a Garmin or something similar.
I'd still need my phone on my handlebars for music so I might as well just keep all my gadgets in one place
@@SaffySprocket OK. Just remember a phone can sometimes be a bit behind from where you actually are. Often resulting in missed turns.

Riding through Skye , l always expected a herd of dinosaurs to cross in front of me, it feels sooooo primeval.
YES!!!!! I FELT THE SAME WAY
I guess the SV650 CAN be a scrambler ;)
I always try to stay away from the tourist spots often using roads that dont seem to get used a lot, you can end up in some amazing places with no one about just yourself and beautiful scenery.
Enjoyed that.
Glad to hear it 🥰

Cool saffy x might try Scotland myself this year x and hey who needs sheep anyway 😊😂😂
🐑🐏🐑 he would have been the most spoilt sheep in the world
Puedes poner sustitulos en español nose inglés los video son muy interesantes pero no me entero de nada
Great video. The sheep didn't have a clue what you were saying. They only speak Gaelic. Keep up the good work.
I'll have to take a Gaelic course so I can ask the sheep for directions next time 🤣
Nice one Saffy, yes you are fabulous, and those sheep know it:-)
Ahahaha I hope so
what drone are you flying#
Good effort.
Thank you so much 💓
Would love to ride with you lol 😜
Hehehe I keep getting asked to plan a public ride out! I'm just trying to work out when a good time is really, its tough juggling work!
@@SaffySprocket I bet you do your cool 😎 and brave love your motorcycle it’s cute ☺️ xx
Fab video so interesting and enjoyable to watch keep up with the good work 👍
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛 💖 ☺️
The tourist hotspots used to be fantastic places until the tourists came & spoiled them.
I guess that's why they became popular
I love the Isle of Skye. Have you considered getting a duel fuel stove? I've got a Coleman 533, it's excellent. It'll cost more than a gas stove but, you'll save a fortune on fuel. I bought mine from Amazon USA for £121. You'll never need another one.
I haven't! I recently replaced my fastboil under warranty so I'll probably just stick with it for another year. I have a shopping list for traveling and I'm kinda focusing on things I don't have yet but may need, so things I already own but aren't the best, tend to fall to the bottom of the purchase pile. I'll probably be buying a first aid kit and a jump start pack before I look at upgrading my cooking equipment
@@SaffySprocket With the miles you do I'd definitely invest in a jump start pack. I'd also invest in a puncture repair kit! The mushroom ones are the best ☺️
As a fellow lady biker, I think you're awesome. Your enthusiasm for our hobby is infectious. I recently came back to biking after a 9 year break from it. I always knew I would and I kept my gear for that day... About three weeks ago, I took delivery of my dream bike: Kawasaki ZZR1400. I hope to visit the Highlands and Peaks this year. I just need to buy a decent tent. 😊
you really make my day, your antics make me smile , you keep doing what u do.
You’re hilarious, never before have the words “gas explosion” been followed by hysterical laughter 😂
Thank you so much 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 if no one got hurt, you should always laugh, and if someone got hurt but it's not permanent, laugh harder 🤣🤣🤣
After the news i had this weekend, i need a smile
Hi Staff your tour video is very good and for an while I felt like as if I have toured because of the beauty of the Nature and scenes and your Nerration. I can say you have enjoyed a lot of places in your country and the Video is like a feast .All the best and Enjoy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏖️⛱️👍
I'm so glad to hear it 🙌 ☺️ it's always so lovely to hear that people are enjoying my videos
Enjoy🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️⛺🏕️💃 your tours😊🏖️
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Great roads too btw 😀
Thanks! 😃
I've just come across your vlog... Its ace! you've made me smile the whole way through 😊.. I want to do the same thing but i was going to get a cbr650r for around Scotland for camping/salmon fishing... I'm thinking I need to change choice of bike looking at those roads 😂
Ah yeh, some of the roads are crazy! My naked seemed to do just fine! And I have all purpose tires 🤣🤣🤣 a couple of rear end slips here and there but nothing too scary 🤣🤣🤣
@@SaffySprocket ah ok maybe I'm over thinking it to much. I'm in early stages on my biking journey but the thought of doing this will is what made me want to get started.
