- It's time to make the perilous journey south. I knew there was still a serious task at hand, but trust me, I didn't want it to be this bad.
Thank you for all the interaction throughout this series. Means a lot to me.
See you on the next one!

I've been riding for almost 30 years and I live in the snowbelt and I'd never consider trying to ride in that snow/ice! You have balls of steel! Glad you made it out safely! Great job documenting it all! Well done!
Amazing videos yet again buddy.
Welcome to my playground.
Gairnshiel Bridge (32:50) looked hair-raising with all that ice 😳
Richy that was “bloody nerve wracking”, on the edge of my seat holding on for dear life. The “Big Lad” did ya proud, very impressed with the AT. Very kind words spoken about Her Majesty, we loved her dearly in the States. Thanks again, “You Da Man” ice riding in Scotland. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
And breath... That was one intense ride. And that was just watching from a comfy chair. Hats off to you Rich. Think I'd have been back in the hotel until spring! Brilliant tour with some excellent photography. Very pleased you kept it shiny side up. Cheers matey.
Well done big lad 👍🏼 and Richy of course 😆 ... God bless us all 🙏
The thing I enjoy most about your videos - and it goes back to the American tour for me - is your total immersion in the enjoyment of every little moment. It's great.
Thanks for that Sully! I just like to try and fully appreciate where I am whilst I’m there!
A total pleasure to watch Richy, some stressful times for sure, Risky roads....but you really made this such a joy too watch absolutely stunning scenery, a real adventure the BIG question where too next !!!! where ever it will be great for sure.
Regards Glenn.👏👏👍👍
Stomach churning stuff. I could not believe you left the A9 and headed down the scenic route. Glad you made it safely and and something you will never forget. Makes your off road stuff look easy haha.
That little twitch you had when the van passed...that got me going. They don't look much on camera but that little split second of Zero G is exactly the same as the start of a drop. It's terrifying.
Crikey Rich - that was intense!
I grew up within cycling distance of Balmoral as a teenager and once swam in the Castle boat pool as a girlfriend lived on the estate and had full access when the queen was not in residence. The road passing the Lecht ski center I drove one Boxing day and it was equally snowy and clear blue sky's but Minus 16 degrees. Luckily I was driving a 4x4 at the.time My heart was in my mouth most of the way with you. One April a few years back I took my 125 trail bike from Glasgow to Aberdeen via Glenshee Ski resort above Balmoral Castle and I realised nearing the top in a snow storm that the road had iced up and I know exactly how you felt but you did many more miles than me as once I got down the other side the roads were fine. The only thing was when I next stopped I dropped my bike as I dismounted and to save my embarrassment I had only just righted it as a group of big bikes passed. I am sure they would have stopped to help but it saved my blushes and certainly wouldn't have been as heavy as your bike. I look forward to the next installment.
This had me on the edge of my seat have loved watching the series the stunning scenes and how well you and the big lad coped
OMG my stomach was in knots! So happy you and the big lad made it back safely, thank you for bringing us all such an amazing adventure, you have done what most of us mortals dare not!!
You are incredibly mad, and madly incredible. If there was any justice you would have a million subscribers. Would love to see you do a trip with old TeaPotOne up there...just the two of you.
Thank you 🙏
That's the reason we take the Sidecar for our February Wales Tour. Glad you make it safe back home. . .
I would never and will never consider riding in conditions like this. But no one can deny the stunning beauty you took in and captured on this journey. Thank you for sharing. I also really appreciate the gratitude you express along your journey to the places, people and things along the way. Just when I think your head isn’t screwed on straight you show us that you very much do. Cheers!
Thank you, mate 👍
That was one scarey journey Richy.!!! Done that exact route a week or so after you and I was in car gripping wheel like a maniac and that was a Quattro !! Hats off to you mate 👍👍👍 superb scenery and still pics brilliant .
Whoo Boy, I can stop biting my finger nails now. You are the spirit of motorcycling and you infuse us all with it, thank you!
Thanks Simon!
I"m so glad you showed the fantastic stills at the end, as I was not able to enjoy the views during the ride, as I was scared to take my eyes off the road.😵💫. Thanks Richy a great ride.
When I seen you were on the A96 leaving Inverness, I thought hes heading over the hills. I did think you wouldn't make it. Brave man or something else.
I was literally clenching my arse cheeks all the way through that! Especially when that van overtook!
What an episode! 🙌
Rich’ - incredible!!! You are a brave man but now have memories that will live with you. My heart was in my mouth and I was just watching your video … and the views … OMG! What a series sir. All the best. Simon.
Wow, that was exhausting to watch let alone be actually riding in those conditions. Brilliant episode and a fantastic series.
Well done and thanks for making such superb content. 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
Omg my nerves are jangled, 34 years I have been riding, and I can't help but be impressed at your cool calm skills. I would not have attempted what you have done. Most impressive, keep it up, and thank you for your content.
Amazing video Rich
Stunning photography
Keep them videos coming
The entertainment is class!
Amazing concentration, that only takes a lot from you! Enjoyed it but more importantly, you made it back home safely 🙏🏾
Wow ,simply wow,fair play to you great photos.I always seem to miss the blizzards when I’m home and out on the bike.
Thanks 👍
Good effort Richy. Great feeling walking in the slush with yer bike gear on knowing if you fall on yer erse you can just jump up and carry on like a Boss!
This is what Adventure Bike riding is all about. Well done to you. There are too many fair-weather only riders out there
a tribute to your skills and honda. not much traffic helped. after watching your iceland trip i knew you could do it. you've inspired me to take mine out with a lot of snow on the ground [but not in the road today] . snowy climates keep the crowds down.
i like how talkative and friendly everyone is
Absolutely fantastic, thank you for sharing it with us.
The views of the snow covered scenery was fantastic Rich 😮
Great views - You are a brave man going over the Lecht in those conditions...
Amazing ride, loved every second. It’s getting our minds ticking, ready to go up ourselves sooner than we thought thanks to yourself. Much appreciated.
Watching this series, you've had me on the edge of my seat, thank God you made it safe. RIP EIIR Beautiful words and views. Wish i was with you on my Kawasaki GTR1400.
Another awesome video which continues to fill me with the direct sense of 'having been there' because of you. And I still remain so ****ing envious of your motorcycle lol.... I'm just too short!! :)
Hats off to you Richy, that was super sketchy. Thanks as always for another cracking adventure video.
Fantastic effort RV, legend mate, letting us all get a small feeling of some true adventure! Great content mate thx 👍👍👌
Respect !! I know what it is like, and you gave me that feeling again. Keep it safe...
Hats off to you and Big lad
Like watching a tense thriller
Your experience and preparation for this trip shows.
After a shit year for me, family and friends who have nursed me back from a near fatal accident.if i can get back in the saddle at some point.im going to make the effort to find you and shake your hand.
Lifes too short not to do the one thing we love. Riding motorcycles.
Its been an amazing trip and thanks for sharing it with us all.
As ever safe Travels👍
Hats off to you Richy…you’re the Man…after that epic winter ride..balls of steel mate. Have ridden that route a couple of times but not at the time of year that you did.Well done!
Thanks Donald 👍
Wow, I've travelled the same route a couple of times in rain and snow but never on my bike always in the Land Rover.
Glad you made it safe, some squeaky bum time that day for sure.
Yet another great series of videos Richy, had my heart in my mouth for most of that one 🥶🥶 fair play to you mate. Keep them coming bud, looking forward to the next adventure 👍👍
Thanks 👍
I remember riding over the Shap fells in winter back in the late seventies on an MZ TS 250, I followed the snow plough a couple of times, which saved my day back then, being stuck 1100 feet above sea level and no cars or help around is not for the faint hearted, loved the ride, well done.
Great work. Much more enjoyable than Hollywood movies with budgets thousands of times bigger.
I’d love to have the opportunity to create something with a big budget! 🙌
Wow. Just Wow!
Fair play to you balls of steel and real biker….thank you ❤
Great series Richy, many thanks.
Absolutely tremendous!
Great series that Mr Vida. Your winter tours are mega! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you, Sir!
I was crapping myself just watching you, Respect
Still great driving by you on these icy roads, and a great experience richer
Bloody hell Richy, never have I felt so anxious watching one of your videos than that.
Well done Sir.
Glad you enjoyed it, Christopher!
Thank you 😊
Love the adventure’s attitude. The JC bombs, not so much. Keep the spirit of adventure alive.
Amazing.
That was a hell of a ride Rich, all of it!! What stunning images you saw and filmed, glad your face didn’t “snap off”!! Simply amazing, you are a legend mate. Thank you👍👍
Fair play Richy, I'm from that neck of the woods and it's bad enough over Tomintoul in the rain!!! Lol your nuts fella 🤣
But it is beautiful in the winter from this side of the lens 😉👌🏻🏴
Awesome wee trip bud 👍🏻
Excellent series Richy, thoroughly enjoyed thank you
The Dava Moor road (snow gates closed, no overnight gritting) is a great one on the bike...in summer. Stick it on your list for your return trip. That Tomintoul - Braemar road is one of the first to be closed in winter. Nice road in the summer though.
well done Richy a few sixpence half a crown moments in that one and you are home safe. Nice to see you paid your respect to HRH at Ballmorale as a veteran she was the best Boss I ever served under for 23 yrs cheers. Right just waiting for your new long term bike now and to see how you get on with it as I am running a 2022 Strom XT Tour. 🤔 Oh well done the big man.
Great ride - great content as always - very watchable 👍🏻
You sir ....are a legend!!!
Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much for this Video❤
Amazing, well done what an epic adventure
Well done Richy! That was intense watching, never mind riding through it! Thanks for the outstanding content. Best channel by far 👍
Thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed watching that winter adventure. Now I know it's not sensible to do it! Well done.
Very brave RV. I’ve been with you every step of the way from my nice warm sofa !!
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing Mr RV
You and the big lad have done it again
You are both officially nuts
Well done for yet another great trip and thanks for taking us with you
Done that trip many times but never in those conditions.😎👍
Wow very inspirational and Fantastic photography, I've been watching your RUclips channel from the early days (isle of man trip...lol) You just keep on pushing the boundaries and nice to see your still very humble, God bless you Richy your the Man ...👊
I thought it might be your final journey once or twice! Amazing footage and a lesson on how to negotiate ice and snow on a motorcycle. Thanks for taking us along!
Superb Riding.
Enjoyed every minute, your trip had every thing.
Magical well done.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much 👍
You are amazing, oh and crazy. well done mate.
Cairngorms in the snow ❄️… bonkers Richy … makes for a great video though .. and the scenery is amazing as always in my country 🏴🏍… love watching your adventures 😎
Edge of the seat stuff. An amazing ride in conditions 90%of us wouldnt ride in. If I ever meet you I'll buy you a single malt and a beer. Thanks what an adventure.
Well thank you very much!
Awesome journey!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
well done rich amazing vid keeping the big lad upright spot on
Wouw. We where sitting on the edge of the seats, concentrating on the road, seeing all that snow and ice 🧊 😮. We had to watch this episode for a second time to enjoy the scenery 😆you and the big Lad did it 🥳yeah well don. 🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
Thank you 🙏
You are braver and madder than I. Great series.
Good work fella!
well done to the big lad getting you home and to richy fantastic series yet again loved every one.....you have more guts than me .i take my hat off to you MR VIDA.
I was exhausted just watching that! I was clenching so bad (especially when you had to ride over that narrow, frozen, humpback bridge) that I now have glutes of steel, so thanks for that😁. Enormous well done to you👍🏼
Thank you Philip 🙏
That was a great watch . Well done richy . 👍💪🏻
Huge congratulations on safely completing that trip Richy. You need a Blue Peter badge for that one.
That would be cool! Cheers Karl
Absolutely brilliant video all round - a wonderful effort Richy - thank you.👏👏
Your a special dude. Richy. Peace brother..
I was shi**ing myself just watching at times...huge respect.. thanks Richy. A lot of effort went into this one
It's testament to the quality of the video and having read some other comments as I type, I'm confident I speak for many when I say it was if we (the viewer) were riding at times. The gut tingling moments were real, bang goes my dry February🥃! Top stuff Richy, well done.
Thank you Colin 🙏
Dry February??? The shortest month.... I see what you did there! 😂😂
Absolute madness to ride in those conditions
Absolute Hero !!, done those roads in autumn but in those conditions no way!, well not on bike 😂
The “would have been treacherous” is a bit of an understatement.
Wow Richy, that was a close one. Bloody nerve racking. Well done Sir! You will need some bigger trousers for your big balls! Some epic scenery though
Curses, Richy. I wanted a relaxing video with a glass of wine instead I was sh1tting mesen expecting you to stack it. I’ve posted before that I’ve never ridden a motorbike in my life but, as a road cyclist, I can appreciate the quality of kit you’re wearing. It makes all the difference in weather like that. Another brilliant vlog. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thank you 🙏
Just sat and watched the whole series on the big screen so popped back to leave you some comments and all I can say is bloody amazing, and I’m now really contemplating a big lad for my next bike top man 🙏😎🤟
Thanks for dropping in, mate! Hope you’re all good!
you drove verry good, i drove on snow once 2 and it was verry tence when you ride on the highway at 120km/u and all of a sudden 3cm of snow, big respect to you and thanks for the awesome vids, keep it safe
We’ll done 👏
Rich - I’ve watched this series from start to finish while in bed on late New Year’s Day. It’s now 05:45 and still wide awake. I know well the area you’ve covered here. What a trip, what wonderful scenery and what an artist you are! Thank you so much for this - I appreciate how close you were to disaster - it’s left me and I would guess many others inspired! Yours aye, Alan
Thanks Alan. 👍👍
