Just back from the same area. Based ourselves in Newcastle. What a fabulous couple of days in brilliant weather. The North Pennines were literally awesome. A local advised is to ride the Hartside Pass. It was unbelievable! Even had photographers shooting photos of bikers on the hairpin bends.
Genuine, friendly and helpful locals throughout entire trip. Very memorable. Will definately return!
Now resting my aches and pains!
Oh lucky man Rod. I’m also wondering when I can get back weird it again in better weather. 🤗🌞
Another great episode, keeping it real. Love it. It's such a shame we didn't meet up when we were over in Ireland on the bike. Never say never. Looking forward to the final episode. Cheers!
Ah cheers mate, yes if you ever venture over to these parts again please give me a shout. We have an awful lot in common. ✈️ 🏍️
Brilliant series, On my list. Live in NW England and no excuses!!
Nice. Know a lot of those roads very well and out on them often (especially Alston, Allendale and Corbridge area), shame you didn't have nicer weather. My first holiday (which were a rare thing back then) was in Craster 1966, we stayed very near the kipper place.
Enjoying the series enormously Dave, looking forward to the final episode 😀😀
Ah cheers mate. I loved making it too!🤗👌
Class. V enjoyable. Fair play!!
Power on dave 💪
My body would be displaying a triangle sign also with enduring Biblical winds and rains. Wonderful videos. 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
Dave, I'd panick a bit with the engine warning lights on. Fair play for carrying on with the tour.
I had no option really. I thought the bike would be travelling back to Ireland without me at one stage. 🤯
@@WheelieGoodTV Everyone's fear is that.
Nice video Dave...despite the weather and a few technical issues! Nice scenery and an interesting narrative...I remember the Tip Tipping accident...very sad, and pretty shocking for a young Dave to discover. Look forward to seeing the next episode. Cheers Steve 💚
Cheers Steve. Yes, not a lot of people know who he was now but he was very famous back then. Definitely worthy of a mention.
Jesus Christ Alive!! Your luck this year is horrendous Dave, I feel for you and Trev, hope the next instalment is better!! On a positive the Video was Cracking ❤
Brilliant video thank the lord the bike kept on going like two old fellows never give up,looking forward to the next instalment. Ps the castle looked epic and need to return in the summer
Sorry Dave , just been out this morning on the wing around Northumberlan and it’s bright sunshine today, loads of bikes in groups looking like there doing the N250 😂
Bit of WD40 in the ignition barrel would have sorted it😉. Lovely weather in Northumberland today😎. We are blessed living here….when the sun shines, great biking roads in all directions, I’m 15 minutes from Corbridge, lovely place if rather pricey.
Turned out I needed a whole new throttle quadrant. 🤪🤯
@@WheelieGoodTV I had mine replaced on my 1200, after I dropped it on the drive, they were a bit fragile apparently, given the weather I’m not surprised you had issues, your lucky you don’t ride my Ducati🤣. They’re reliable since VW improved production standards.
The first time I saw a warning triangle from my current bike was today, just before I watched this video. In my case it was a charging error.
That front bike screen is really annoying, I have to say, as you cant see the road ahead.
However I love the craic with you 2 and the mishaps and weather added a bit of drama.
Nice ride Dave; I could feel your ‘bike anxiety’ several times! What was the cause of the problems? Surely a BMW GS should cope with a bit of rain, however “biblical”? I bet your VFR wouldn’t have let you down….my 2002 V-Tech has NEVER had any ‘rain issues’ in the 20+ years I’ve owned it. Looking forward to the next episode…🤞
I actually considered doing it on the VFR Neil. It turned out I needed a new throttle quadrant for the GS but it got me home so I didn’t mind. 🙏🤗
Love Ya work Dave the true happenings of the happy wanderers cheers Glenn.
Dave, you’re the man, coming from someone currently riding down to Cappadocia, Turkey and back to the UK Solo, 6,005 miles. Another old boy not listening to his body. Oh, on a Ducati Diavel V4. Best wishes.
Oh wow, that’s a trip! 👌👊🏻
Fair play Dave,you didn't let the weather dampen spirits.
What have you got happening at the moment..
Hope all good with you anyway 👍
Well dave what's it like being back on familiar roads .... very familiar to me ...weardale born... farmed near Hexham...now live in carlisle....take local roads for granted me thinks🤔 funny we where near you in Ireland in 22 and here you are near us in 24......atb cracking vid...👍👍👍
Cheers David. I knew a Jill Skidmore in the North East, any relation?
@WheelieGoodTV although fathers family are mostly from Newcastle area ...I've
no relation with that person that I know of ......BUT the spooky👻 thing is my youngest daughter is called jill now has a married name ... you couldn't write it..😄......anyway hope you get the GS...sorted ...
@@DavidSkidmore-e5tand more spooky is that my sister is also called Jill! 🤪
Alston is cumbria bonny lad
What are using for 2-way comms? Your day 2 footage looks much like weather that Hawaii's been enduring since last Sat.p.m.(5/11)...Flood warnings/watches alternating, at least, 2x/day. As of this writing, rains have stopped 5-6hrs....Stay Safe, Ride Safer, D & T...Keep the Rubber on the Road...Aloha from Hawaii
Good man Harry. I was using a Sena SRL2 and Trev was using a Cardo Edge. I’d prefer the rain in Miami somehow.
@@WheelieGoodTV...Lol! Hawaiian rain is cold in upper elevations. Seems that visitors start panicking when they hear...."Raining in Hawaii! Flash flood watch!"...Rain keeps Everything Green!-lol...No rain=Maui fires last August....
Rains just started up again, after 11-14 hour break. Only this time including thunder!-lol...Stay Safe, Ride Safer, WGTV
Your having some bad luck there old boy, hope it improves for you
Trusty old GS got you through Dave. Another enjoyable vid
It sure did, but I’ve only just got it back from CC’s as it packed in when I got home. At least it got me home though.
