Glad you enjoyed Scotland and realised that the NC500 is not the only route, don’t forget the Borders and Northumberland next time, my back yard. Great set of videos on your wee bike and I love the A82, especially down Glencoe😀👍
@@Mrfish2015 There’s what’s known as the South Western 300 ( I think it’s called) which is around the Border area Dumfries and Galloway Speak to Bruce about the Buccleuch Arms Hotel in Moffat, he fill you in on the details.
Dude, I 100% agree with you about Scotland chuffin love the place. But if you REALLY want to run out of words, I can HIGHLY recommend and it's a bit of a trek get yourself over too Norway it will properly blow ya mind.
Hi Mr Fish Tour videos don’t always work very well. But you have really pulled it out the bag and proved that when you put your heart and sole into it you can make a tour video work. It’s nice to see you enjoying the roads at a sensible speed not flat out apex to apex with your knee down. So well done and thanks for sharing your journey.
Hi Mr Fish. I have absolutely loved this series. You have given me some ideas for a trip on my Scrambler 400x. You don't need a GS to go on epic tours..
Absolutely amazing scenic ride on that extremely capable Honda NX500, Mr. Fish! It’s a shame that in the USA that awesome machine is only sold in the Matte Black model. As far as this epic video goes, I had to watch it twice!! Thanks for taking us along. 😎🇺🇸👍
Great video! I have been watching your journey, it has been wonderful. Tears cleanse the soul, motorcycles feed the soul. Many more journeys for you! From across the pond. Cheers Mate.
Scotland interacts with all your senses, it feels like your a part of it , almost like family, specially riding a bike . Thanks for sharing this, very enjoyable 👍
Great vid thanks mate. Used to work just outsid3e of Oban so nice to see the roads again, spent a lot of time in cars going around there. In Thailand now on a ninja 650 2009. Bought her second hand 6 weeks ago, she was living in an underground condo car park. She had 4080kms after 14 years! Bike was immaculate and on offer for less than a new 150 moped. The guy just took her out to be MOT'd most of the time. Took 16 hrs 1500kms & 2 days to get her home.
You are so lucky having that on your "doorstep" . I can smell the fresh air through your cameras. I cannot wait to be able to grab my NX in a month's time and go exploring too
You’ve nailed it Mr Fish, yeah the NC500 is a good ride, ( I did it before it was a thing and became to popular) but it’s the smaller roads that show you the real beauty of Scotland. I’m lucky to have ridden in some amazing places around the world but jump on my bike head north for half a day and there’s a place to rival any of them. Superb series this.
When you turned off the A82 on leaving Fort William that road you didn’t really enjoy 😉 leads to Kinlochleven and Glencoe village not Oban, Glen Orchy is also a hidden Gem Great series, I’m glad you took Bruce’s advice too visit our Home land.
Glencoe is stunning, you certainly had the weather there John, I’m off tomorrow on bike for 2 nights,it’s gonna be a wet one, but hey ho im on my bike so alls good😎👍
I've been binge watching Mr Fish's NX500 series and i can't wait to get mine in Dec 2024.. It's twice the price here in Singapore to be used for 10 years only but oh well I see Fish really enjoys it
AWESOME STUFF... this was right in the depths of my old stoming ground with HMNB Faslane just over the hill from where you had lunch pretty much and the Royal Marines would mess around in the fenced off area you rode along
I had a leaking g eye moment at vestkapp in Norway, on about week 3 of 7. I've said it many many time. Biking especially touring is Sooooo good for the mind, body and soul.....
Ey up Great video, nice story telling Did the NC500 in May 2022, and then again in May 2023. Rode round the West Coast of Ireland this year and yes, you’ve guessed it, I’m back in Scotland again in May ‘25. You just can’t have enough of it can you. Doing some islands as well this time too Si thee TMB
1st, lol...Another great video Mr Fish...Hope all is well with you mate 🙂Ps...Glad you enjoyed Scotland 🙂 See at 20.0 on your right, MOD...That's where all the nuclear rockets are built into the mountain 😞Doesn't even show up on maps..
Any bike that will sit at the speed comfortably, or all depends on body shape height etc , we are all different, I personally wouldn’t get a 500 if it’s mainly motorways but plenty do
I have downsized fro high powered sports bikes to a v strom650. It will happily cruise effortlessly at 80+. At that speed still does 70 mpg. The torque of the engine is so strong I cant believe it but my best bike do it all after 44 bikes.
Woke up this morning quite fed up. I have lost my licence thru medical reasons and by the time I finished this was smiling ear to ear. Still hoping it’s not the end for me but nhs and tests = time
So glad you experienced some of my wee local roads around the Oban area. There are so many more to see, and the CB 500X is the perfect bike for it. Haste ye back.
Love the video. However, you have me confused. At one point you said you were off the A82 and in the Oban road. Then you were going up Glencoe and across Rannoch Moor? Which is the A82 and goes nowhere near Oban! Did I miss something? Scotland is brilliant for riding/ driving. Mountains after mountains and lakes and Lochs galore. I’m one of those that did the NC500 anti clockwise, by the way, in a small camper. Loved it. Keep the videos coming .😊
I turned off towards Oban then cut back on the a85 a819i until invararay , I was only heading that way not actually going to .. probably as clear as mud
Hello fishy fella---greetings from australia, hows the seat and comfort levels after a few hours and are the footpegs too high, i dont want my knees bent like a honeymoon bride--- is ok on gravel roads??---cheers mate
I have a cool cover on the seat so no problems in standard it’s a bit uncomfortable and the pegs are ok I stretch out a lot by standing or dangling a leg .. not africatwin comfort but it does the job for me
I can see why Mel Gibson liked this place so much... I'm curious how your average Scotsman feels about the greatest film ever made... as played by the greatest actor of any generation... Mel Gibson.
On the last Bucket List Boys Season 6 Me and Rob got to ride Harleys through Zion.... Was amazing.. Told the guy i didn't have a full bike license and he said ride around the parking lot...So i did and he said your good to go lol...ill send you a pic on FB

Oh wow . Thanks
I cried too. How could he throw so much money away?
Well, it is always about the perspective... @@fuglbird
What did I throw away ?

Brilliant as always. Love NX500!
So do I , thanks
Hi Mr Fish. I have absolutely loved this series. You have given me some ideas for a trip on my Scrambler 400x. You don't need a GS to go on epic tours..
You can tour on any bike , the 400 will be epic

Thanks for watching , appreciate it .. you can always get the bike wrapped 😉
Beautiful Mr Fish - the beauty of nature on the bike does the same to me. Happy tears. SO good for the soul.
Couldn't agree more! , thanks for coming along

You’ll have fun on that , plus Thailand must be a great place to ride
You are so lucky having that on your "doorstep" . I can smell the fresh air through your cameras.

Not on my doorstep lol about 800 miles away

Great series, I’m glad you took Bruce’s advice too visit our Home land.
It was leading to Oban , but I turned off to head south (editing)
Another cracking video Mr fish Scotland has it all to give been there myself many times ,glad you enjoyed it keep up the good vids.

Glencoe is stunning, you certainly had the weather there John, I’m off tomorrow on bike for 2 nights,it’s gonna be a wet one, but hey ho im on my bike so alls good😎👍
All bikes days are good , but yes very lucky with the weather ..
Fantastic series, looks like you really enjoyed it. Inspired to do that too one day 😊 Keep them coming 😄 Watching from Zimbabwe.
Mate, I need to repeat what you have just achieved. Brilliant. We all need such therapy!! ATVB
Just jumping in a bike and heading somewhere is great therapy.. glad you’re enjoying the vids
I've been binge watching Mr Fish's NX500 series and i can't wait to get mine in Dec 2024.. It's twice the price here in Singapore to be used for 10 years only but oh well I see Fish really enjoys it
I love mine , twice the price … wow I thought we weee expensive here
WOW! Brilliantly filmed and narrated. 😁
Thank you

Lazy 😂 … get better soon mate we need cake
@@Mrfish2015 deffo cake!
Another great vid mate... :)
Thanks look forward to your ones coming out
Love the route those roads are stunning 🤩
I didn’t think you can go far wrong in Scotland 😂
Fabulous videos! Thank you.
Cheers
1st, lol...Another great video Mr Fish...Hope all is well with you mate 🙂Ps...Glad you enjoyed Scotland 🙂 See at 20.0 on your right, MOD...That's where all the nuclear rockets are built into the mountain 😞Doesn't even show up on maps..
Ahh I see , that will explain why all the fish glowed in the river 😂
@@Mrfish2015 Aye funny...But you don't see any in England 😞
Simply put stunning 🫶🫶
Watching from Melbourne, Australia. I've got the same beard. Cooee!
😂, and probably the start of summer
Glad you had so much fun buddy, it’s ok for you; but I’ve got to ride those roads most weekends, sigh -😂
I feel for you 😂
Hi just simply epic sertenly big miles of smiles for for sure . :)
Rolley .
Thanks mate 🙌
Another great vid...I got a bit of a lump in throat just watching "second hand".....so Lord knows how it would feel to do it
Glad that came across , it snuck up on me ha ah
And that's how you make a touring video👍
Thanks , didn’t know how they would come across
Looks like paradise, I wanna buy a small little home round those ends had enough of city life
Don’t blame you mate
When you say we I thought you meant us. We are your passengers on the back.👍
Ahhh , I like that ..
As I've done most scotlands roads it never gets old🤌...ps there a many" best road I ever ridden" in scotland😉😂😂😂
Every day is a “best road” day lol
Just shown my dad this vid .. he reckons he camped with his dad there way back in the 50s 👍
This makes think about downsizing bike wise, what would you consider comfortable cruising speed on a motorway with luggage?
I have a 2022 500x. Cruise all day at 85 indicated mph.
Any bike that will sit at the speed comfortably, or all depends on body shape height etc , we are all different, I personally wouldn’t get a 500 if it’s mainly motorways but plenty do
I have downsized fro high powered sports bikes to a v strom650. It will happily cruise effortlessly at 80+. At that speed still does 70 mpg. The torque of the engine is so strong I cant believe it but my best bike do it all after 44 bikes.
Woke up this morning quite fed up. I have lost my licence thru medical reasons and by the time I finished this was smiling ear to ear. Still hoping it’s not the end for me but nhs and tests = time
Hope everything works out for you mate
Find the right bit of Scotland, on the right day and it will do that to you.
I found a lot on the right days lol
Do you have gpx files for the route you took that stayed off nc500?
No , I made them up as I went
So glad you experienced some of my wee local roads around the Oban area. There are so many more to see, and the CB 500X is the perfect bike for it. Haste ye back.
You live in a great place

Bring a tent and a stove. If you prefer throwing money around please don't complain about it.
Throwing ? 😂 tent and stove no thanks I’m an adult
I don’t think thats a loch on the right coming out of forteilliam I think you will find it is a sea inlet Nice footage though
It’s called a loch even though it does flow to the sea , they don’t have to be land locked
@@Mrfish2015 I stand corrected you learn something new every day. Looking forward to your next vid
Don’t solo read rumours that I knew something people will expect 😂
I can see why Mel Gibson liked this place so much... I'm curious how your average Scotsman feels about the greatest film ever made... as played by the greatest actor of any generation... Mel Gibson.
Who knows , probably think his accents is rubbish 😂
Are you taking ra Micky mate🏴
Completely agree that Scotland is massively overpriced. Complete and utter rip off!!!!
If I go there again; I will be wild camping.
Not all of it , only this bit
@@Mrfish2015True, but it happens to be the best bit 🤷♂️
Captive audience 😂
On the last Bucket List Boys Season 6 Me and Rob got to ride Harleys through Zion.... Was amazing.. Told the guy i didn't have a full bike license and he said ride around the parking lot...So i did and he said your good to go lol...ill send you a pic on FB
😝 I rode a streetglide through Zion , it’s an amazing place , and I continued up to Brice canyon
Done this myself in 2019 bringing it all back absolutely amazing riding especially glencoe .the
