I made a last minute plan to go on an over-nighter, and decided on North York Moors. Staying in the quaint little seaside village of Robin Hood's Bay, just down the coast from Whitby.
No real agenda, just mooching about on my beloved VFR800!

I rode bikes for years but had to sell my last one 25 years ago. I started riding in 1974 and gave up the cause in the early 90's. I'd not really thought about biking again, but for some reason, not too long ago, You Tube recommended one of your videos. It was the first installment of your trip to the USA. I've been around the world, so the travel element intrigued me so I clicked the play button and I watched every episode of that wonderful trip which also brought everything back about the good things about riding.
The helmet cam in particular fascinated me as the view on the screen made me feel, in it's limited sense, I was sitting on the bike with the handlebars in my hands.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I put a deposit down on a new Honda last week, and tomorrow I'm off on my first bike ride for 25 years. It's a return to biking course, and to say I'm looking forward to it is an understatement.
I sincerely want to thank you for your videos that have been absolutely inspirational in my decision to return to the fold.
I can't wait to ride out to Grindleford café and enjoy a brew.
Wow that’s fantastic! Good luck and keep us posted 👍
@@RichyVida. Well, obviously I survived!
I'll try and keep it short. It was a 3 hour session paid for by Honda, and I started out on a 125. After initially nearly throwing myself over the handlebars when I used the brakes for the first time, we went out on the road.
I had an earpiece fitted so I could receive instructions and advice, which is good in itself but I found myself concentrating so much on the basics of riding I couldn't process all the information I was being given.
We went out into the country for a while then stopped to have a chat. The instructor said he was generally happy with my riding, it was composed, safe and in control, but I didn't feel that way at all. It was a very windy day, the bike was moving all over the place and I was far from comfortable, so we decided to head to the car park they use for some low speed maneuvers.
When we arrived there he put me on the CB650 and I immediately found it a much easier bike to ride. We spent about an hour and a half performing figures of 8, U-turns, slaloming around cones, etc, and I was fine. I never fealt I was about to lose the bike and never had to put a foot down. It was a pleasant feeling when trepidation was slowly replaced by enjoyment. Apparently, I passed MOD1 with ease!
I rode the 125 back to the training centre and everything started falling back into place as I was feeling much more in control. We then had a de-brief and I booked a full day advanced ride out with them on the 16th April. We'll be spending the day riding around north Wales, with me on the 650, and possibly stopping for lunch at the Ponderosa café.
So, all in all, a positive experience. I have no complaints at all about the training. Lee is an engaging individual and we had plenty of laughs but he was superb when explaining and showing me how to do things.
After having had a couple of days to mull things over, yes, I wasn't initially enjoying riding the bike. but then I have a reference point, which is being a reasonably competent rider. I'm still a way away from that, but I'm hoping my next ride out takes me a step closer to how I used to feel.
I'll see how it goes and give you an update in due course.
Cracking vid. As I'm not the first to comment on this you probably already know 1) Malton (place you fuelled up) what a disaster with the level crossing road markings ! they've changed the priority before and it's worse now ! 2) Building in the middle of nowt is RAF Fylingdales 3) Land on fire is heather burning which seems strange but its done for ecological reasons ! Looking forward to part 2 Thanks again
OK Mr Vida you have finally done it, after 8 years with out a bike, you made me go out and buy a VFR 800. I hope your satisfied with yourself because I know I am. well done mate, keep up the good work and your video editing is fer-nominal you should have your own TV series.
Oh yes how do i get hold of one of your Wildbad stickers
Excellent news, Keith! Do keep us posted about how you get on. If ya hop over to our website, wildbadtouring.com, have a nosey in the shop. Plenty in there ;-)
I will buy mine this week, can't wait for it 😁
Such a blast when you take us along on new journeys. To see the still shots at the end well worth my time. The freedom of being on our bikes and taking journeys are very well represented on your channel. Cheers from America.
Richy the final picture on this one that you took just before you got into RHB overlooks a really good campsite called Hook House Farm. We have stayed there many times and overlooks the bay. At low tide you can walk along the waters edge to Boggle hole where the Youth Hostel is.
We love it there and always enjoy a trip to the town that shares our name....Whitby 😉 Nice one matey 👍
Aye we are quite used to burning the heather up North so I’d say with some confidence that’s what’s happening. Helps it regenerate and also creates breaks incase of wild fires, stops them spreading as rapidly. Brilliant weather again and great views. I like the new cam angles too. Cheers
Playing catch up Rich - great vid, and particularly liked the intro...and another vote for "Bikers Britain"!
Yup, been the best 8 quid (or whatever) I’ve ever spent! 👍
....that puck is a good idea - I've left quite a few behind on grassy fields - one was even a nice old brass ashtray that I got off a stall at a Steam Rally...but it's in a field somewhere ! You did the right thing getting B & B as I cringe at the thought of what might happen when we get tired on a long journey and try to get there and back in a day.
Lovely video, I grew up in Bridlington but now live in western Canada. My Dad took us around the Moore’s as kids , then I got to walk around them when stationed in Catterick with the military. Nice to see the old roads around there. I could never live back in the UK again though. It’s been 25 years but in my opinion North Yorkshire is the nicest part of England.
You’re never alone with a helmet on
Just you and your thoughts
That’s the beauty of biking 👍
Couldn't agree more, whenever I say to the wife " I'm off for a ride out " she'll say what on your own - your never alone on two wheels .
Love that camera angle from the low fairing & the VTEC Snort. :-)
Don't panic Richy, heather burning is a normal practice to regenerate the land - it's done on purpose in controlled sections.
Guessing this was filmed last Friday or Saturday? Me and my touring buddies went to Lincoln Friday, then down to sportsbikeshop Saturday, and back up through the Wolds, over the bridge to Beverley - York - Harrogate - Skipton and home to Lancaster. It was like summer.
Thanks for the video...I was hoping one of you guys would put something up tonight and you delivered!
Great video Richy filmed in my neck of the woods.North Yorkshire is brilliant for bikers.84,000 miles on the VFR wow, and she sounds lovely and still pulls like train. Take care buddy and keep the shiny side up
Brilliant video mate , I love sitting down to chill and just watching these long episodes and series , I’ve started a series too, I’ve got the Scotland 500 at the start of may and then the IOMTT in June👍🏼 you’ve got a new subscriber there mate too just like how chill the videos are
Love the Thunderfoot had a piece of string on my puc for years.
The fire was probably a controlled burn, saw some massive ones in Western Australia last year.
Great vid by the way.
Ricky it’s not just about the scenery that I enjoy it’s your down to earth personality and charisma that makes your videos so enjoyable 🏍😎
What a great idea! The puck with retracting wire. Brilliant.
Nice one again Richy,you can’t beat a wee solo run now and again 👍
28:23 looks like the EWS Radar at Fylingdales. The fires are for burning off the heather to make way for new growth.
Once again Rich an absolute pleasure to spend some time with you. As I watch and enjoy I have an inch of unforecast snow outside that is now freezing here in Mid Wales but what glorious weather and what a view out in the Bay at Dusk. Thanks for sharing Sir.
Richy,as always the video was great viewing,i rode up to Helmsley a couple of years ago and stayed in a youth hostel there.Definately recommend that.
Great route with lots if stunning views,and yes good old Mansfield ( my home town ) is in Notts.
Steves having my bikes soon for service,your right he is really passionate about bikes and will do a top job on yours as he has on mine in the past.
Thumbs up and keep rolling out the vids.
Cheers ,Russ.
Sorted a sneaky Peaky route- Holmfirth, Glossop, Snake Pass, Hathersage, Calver, Chapel en le Frith, Buxton, Bakewell, Monyash, Ashbourne, then on towards Melton Mowbray, Rutland Water onto the B660 to Kimbolton, Bedford then home via Barton le Clay, Hitchin to a small village near Bishop Stortford - SORTED !
Great to watch... still contending with winter here. I've been carrying an aluminum "foot" on a string in my tank bag for close to 40 years. That retractable puck looks like a good idea.
Only recently been watching your channel - Absolutely excellent, I am throughly enjoying the ride outs you do and the scenery photos, its great to watch and I am slowly working may way through all your tours - Brilliant !! even got my son interested in your motorcycling videos-
Welcome!
Thanks Richy for another stunning video. They just get better and better. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see you riding around my neck of the woods, the invitation I sent you earlier this year is still open if you wish. For your info, sections of the moor are burnt off deliberately this time of the year on a three year cycle to prevent huge moor fires that can occur during the summer. Also the pyramid shaped building you saw is RAF Fylingdales, It is a radar base, part of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System. You are blessed that you didn't sent up your drone or take photos near it as there would have been a strong possibility of being questioned by armed MP's, lol. Some lovely photos and camera work as we have come to expect from you ,well done matey.
Love It. Did a similar thing a couple of years ago, just my bike and me, also on a VFR (1200 Crosstourer). Using Bikers Britain book, up the east coast, some of the same roads you used , i remember the railway crossing. Turned inland at Whitby for a nightstop at a pub in Hawes. Then south and through the peak district. Brilliant couple of days. Love riding with mates but going solo is completely different, felt so relaxing. Must do it again.
The lands on fire lol. It's Heather burning they burn of the old heather to let the new stuff come through . Great video as always nice to see my patch of the world in one of your videos.
I've had Staintune 'zorsts on a number of bikes, namely my Moto Guzzi Le Mans and Beemer boxers. Beautifully made and sound glorious. The factory is an hour from home via some fantastic motorcycling roads.
Good to hear your going back to Toro, I'm sorting dates with Lyndon currently. Me and Womble going for some off-road and GS fun 😎
Oh you’ve changed! Haha I defo want to do the off roading.. when you thinking?
@@RichyVida looking at June Rich, it's proving difficult to get dates finalised atm. Once I know them will pass it on 😉
I watched Fat Lad On a Bike video of Robin Hood camp site and had planned to visit possibly this month. Thanks for beating me to it!!
Love the "thunder foot". I just tied a piece of string to my puck, no cost, works no problem!
Enjoyed that thank you. Simon Weir of Bikers Britain recovering from a bad crash in South Africa, think he's still stuck down there. Yorkshire Whitby area is a great destination for an over nighter from the Midlands, we sometimes stop in the Duke of Wellington pub Danby near Whitby, great stop.
Oh dear. That's not nice to hear. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Just watched “ let’s go to the seaside” so pleased you followed my north York moors route, hope you enjoyed it , I even got a shout out after the fish and chips at the pub, thanks, 👍🏻😀
Thank you!
What a great ride Richy. Have to put that area on the list of places to go when next in Blighty. Done the Dales, next the Moors & coast. No crowds is a winner for me. Crystal clear images matey. Impressive. Love the Thunder 🦶 Foot.👍🏍😀
Glad to hear Egone is not gone, he still owes me a coffee, haha and Mansfield is in Notts, I got the same feeling about Steve when I went in, another great vid Richy.
Another stunning video which encapsulates the joys of biking Richy. You certainly made me feel homesick, and can't wait to be following that route when I get back home from the desert next month. You were asking ..... Mansfield is in Nottinghamshire btw. Keep up the amazing videos and ride safe :)
Once again Richy a brill video ! Keep em coming. That burning land you described was probably heather being burnt off for this year's grouse season
New to your vids since Toro, loved that, great camera work, and not too long 👍
Really good to see you up in my neck of the woods. The scenery is awsome and glad u enjoyed it. Your love for touring/ biking really shines thru and its inspiring to hear. Keep up the good work, shame you dont do feature lenght episodes, we could watch them for hrs 👍 cheers ride safe 👍
Lovely vid. I used to own a 1999 pre vtec VFR. Amazing bikes. Subbed. 👍
Once again Luvin your work mate. I've also just completed the box set 🤣 of the wildbad bunch touring The Good ol' U S of A. Absolutely brilliant watch, you lads are living other people's dreams on these bike's on this channel keep up the sterling work and ride safe. 🏍🏍🏍
Great video Rich, love the new camera angles, especially the low fairing one. Just ordered a Thunderfoot side stand puck, what a brilliant idea. Looking forward to pt2. :)
hi richy , thanks for the mention mate , i do still have the bm , i`m like you with the vfr , i probably will keep it as long as i can ride lol , still watching all your vids ,cracking as usual , glad you enjoyed my stomping ground for a couple of days , i have the picos n pyrenees tour booked with bruce aka teapotone this october , can`t bloody wait hahaha , ride safe dood
Nice one, Bri! Great to hear from you mate.
Beauty Rich ! Nothing like a solo tour now and again, just you and your thoughts on the open road to a new destination. Your Canadian pal 🤘
A great video again, this is my stomping ground I was at Whitby on the Sunday 24 March and at the same whistlestop cafe this may have been shot on Saturday lol
Love your little mini solo tours I do many myself like this spot on bud 👍
Robin Hood's Bay, the start (or finish) of the 190 mile Coast to Coast Walk where tradition would have you dip your feet in the sea. Epic video - shame about the non-dronage. 👍🏻
That railway crossing in Malton absolute nightmare in the summer
Great roads and fantastic scenery! Always nice to join you on your trips, thank you for sharing your tours! 👍
My backyard playground.. glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love your videos richly .so I have purchased a vstrom 650 to do a bit of touring myself
That building you ask what on earth is that. It is fylingdales the early warning system used in conjunction with norad. Excellent video rich. I only live a few miles from there. They often burn the heather to promote new growth for the grouse
I’ve quickly become a big fan of your channel, I find you very likeable and your uploads are great quality.
Thank you very much, Peter. I appreciate you being here!
We called at Robin Hood Bay in April 2017 but it was too late in the day for a proper stop, so we decided to return again one day soon. Love North Yorkshire.
Very intensive police up Malton area, Court, big fine and points to prove it LOL! Lady PC on a Hyabusa!
Love Beverley.. worked there twice a month for 10 months.. good to see again
The "Strange" building you spotted is RAF Fylingdales early warning station. The North Yorkshire Moors are a beautiful part of the world but then it is Yorkshire so it would be..!
What lovely video Richy, pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing. I think the smoke was the farmers burning off the stubble getting ready to replant. Could you do a short tutorial on your dslr camera and post production sometime? Thanks again
Another great video Richy, cant wait for EP2
Great vid once again , new tyres Thursday then out and about can’t wait mind you snow down south today lol
You should have done Hemsley to Stokesley they call it the North Yorkshire TT !! Beautiful Scenery.The Coast to Coast footpath from St Bee's ( cumbria ) finishes in Robin Hoods Bay ( North Yorkshire ).Cheers & thanks for the Video.!
Great little trip Richy....good work!
Loved it 👍, just put road 5's on my versys yesterday did the commute this morning ok then got snowed on on way home, squeaky bum time😂😂
Awesome Rich and my hunting ground, the old building just outside Goathland is RAF flying dales its an early warning raider station I think.
See you in July :)
rich sheldon Back in the sixties they were like giant golf balls...
RAF Fylingdales phased array radar. Ima geek I know! 😂
What PILTS said, they took the golf balls down quite a bit ago. It was the land on fire, they will be burning the heather off to stop it going balistic in the summer if someone drops a ciggie etc.
Hi wow good video as always. Oh wow Steve Scott i worked shortly with his Dad pete, who now owns and runs two wheel center in Mansfield is nottinghamshire.
Love my home county Northumberland but my second home is Yorkshire, my wife’s job is based in Scarborough. Looking forward to spending the Summer riding down to Yorkshire on a regular basis. Regarding helmet cameras, I’ve found no better than the Sony X3000R, just use my old GoPro as a secondary camera.
Building is a nuclear warning system I think, it’s all MOD round there, great roads and gods country or North Yorkshire!!! You need to do a full dales trip too as you missed loads last time you went up, awesome vids rock on episode 2!
I know arse all about go-pros etc., But, your videos are top quality mate.
Hi Richy, just started to watch video and realised I should have kept my eye on Facebook as I didn’t realised you started in Beverley, I live in Beverley, think however you where after a loan ride this time out maybe next time 👍
Good vid I love biking in Yorkshire and the north east, it is one of the things I miss from moving down south, you sold me on the puck, and I am excited to change my current bike out later this year probably for a (don’t laugh)😀 2012-2017 Goldwing. I would go back to a vfr, but two uping touring know I found my current bike the bmw rt 2011 isn’t for my passenger comfortable long distance and space for kit limited when paked for two(it is doable though). and being a bmw it needs a special grade engine oil that so far I can only source of bmw. But it has been a good bike. But when I had the VFR800 that was my fav and do regret getting rid of her. But I don’t feal the vfr would be good two uping on long tours. But I may invest in the future into a vfr as a weekend bike. Love you’re vids especially the tour vids grate to help see and plan future tours and has opened my eyes to other places I may of over looked. Keep up the hard work..
Great video as aways. We are off to do the NC 500 in September and the North York Moores on the way home looking forward to it. oh and I may have brought a thunder foot :)
Great! Let me know how you get on with it 👍
I have been to Aidensfield about 5 years ago, that is not the real name of the village, luckily the owner of the campsite told us the real name of the place so we could go take a look around, had a little look around the garage.
Pik Pik pikupa a puk😊 cracking idea....👍cheers from dave...
Helmsley is where the farmyard festival is in mid June every year, 10,000 plus bikers having a great time.
great vid fella, you mentioned the ear plugs u use pop a link in the "My Gear" section would ya fella :).
Great vid and lovely place. Working there now approx 3 miles from Robins Hood Bay and the Potash Mine.
Richy Thunderfoot, Hero 5 kit, Shark Spartan all bought! Thanks for you great tips, credit card is red hot 🤪🏍😎👍
Wowzers! Good man, all cracking stuff! 👍
Great vid rich liking the low camera angles! Just got back from toro on the cowboy tour with lyndon you are going to love it fantastic trip 👍
Oh fantastic! Yep, really looking forward to that. Did ya do much off-roading?
RichyVida yes mate there was Ask Lyndon about the dry river bed and around the lake fantastic riding It’s amazing what the big gs can do plus loads of great twisty roads with some awesome views you will love it mate 👍
I got a tip on a fb wall a while back to tie a bit of string on the foot stand saucer so you can pull it up when your sitting on the bike, same idea as your reel one. Not as good as yours, but it works.
These are the real deal tho after all. The Rolls Royce of pucks lets say! The string idea is part of my inspiration and like Henry Royce said " Take something that exists and make it better",
But more importantly the string wont get tangled in anything in your pocket or worse come out of your pocket and get tangled in your bike somewhere. Ride Safe..
Great video again, Could you do a video of how you an a route and how you then follow it?
Do you program it into your phone?
Another great video Richy and a great part of the world to do it in.
I take it you have never been to Mansfield(Nottinghamshire) then?
Only about 457,591 times. 👍
Looks a great day out richy. I headed out from bingham near nottingham down to hunstanton and then on to wells next the sea great day out.
I think I need to do more last minute, flight of fancy rides this year. I've been meaning to have a blast to Llandudno as a day tripper. It doesn't seem too bad a day trip from Notts. Just a waiting for a weekend with no plans and no signs of rain. 🖒
Also pretty sure Mansfield has an NG Nottinghamshire post code.
It's a tough job if you ever want time off i'll gladly take your place lol i don't mind seeing some more of the world ;), that place was deserted i thought you was back in Potes for a min and that's my Thunderfoot ordered off Ebay that's a cracking idea ;)
You make me want to ride but spring is not quite here yet in Toronto. Great scenery.
If you have fanastic scenery and roads like that on your doorstep Richy. Why wouldn't you
Great Episode Richy👍hope that Sun stay out for my trip🤞🏍 there,gotta love thoes Staintune great Aussie Product,🇦🇺 last a life Time👍were do you get thoes pucks there great mate
Thethunderfoot.co.uk 👍👍
Loved it, thanks for uploading Richy
Great vid as always. Did wonder if it was you as you Rode past Seaways Cafe in Fridaythorpe - was in the Car park having a cuppa. Shame you didn't drop in, would have been good to say hello. Would have been great to join you on the AT for a few miles.
Hi Steve. Yeah I remember, it was quite busy. Looked good, though.
excellent video mate, enjoyed that very much, the north Yorks moors are excellent for bikers it seems
Us old timers use a boot lace tied to our pucks Richy .
Great pics as always, I thought you had met the reincarnated Bolton boy Fred Dibnah another great blogger. Thanks as always
Mansfield is Nottinghamshire ....unfortunately !.No doubt lots of people have already replied.
But not seen any of your vids lately forgotten how good they were !.
Steve Scott's brilliant and his son James who's working with him.
That's Y it's called Gods Own Country ! Glad U liked my home "The Bay" is where Robin Hood lived Oh Yeah ! When U reached Helmsley turn left (where woman pulled out on U) B1257 is the Infamous Helmsley TT to Stokesley road condition poor nowadays but is what it is (actually runs from Malton U were on part of it) Great to see & hear U say WOW ! Hole of Horcum on A169 Pickering to Whitby is where to use the drone. One word of warning Plod cameras R normally massive on all these roads "watch your POINTS Stay Lucky" Glad U appreciated us (funny remark about "land on fire" & funny building in distance Fylingdale Early Warning Station used to B "Golf Balls" google it). Never use the drone near there will NEVER CU AGAIN SERIOUSLY!!!!!
Dude, heading “back home” up to my sisters in Huddersfield next week from “darn sarf” for the weekend. Hoping to head back down on Sunday through the Derbyshire Dales. Never been through that part of the world as normally travel up and down the A1 when visiting family. As im passing through whats the best route from Huddersfield, where would be a good place for a brew and butty stop with great roads. Im told the cat n fiddle is too much of a faff nowadays with all the speed restrictions.
Yeah it’s defo spoiled, plus the pub is shut down (I think it is still shut). Ya can’t go wrong with Grindleford Station cafe for food and brew. Plus, the area surrounding it is just perfect! 👍
Fantastic....Whitby my second home
Richy what earplugs were you using in this vid please, just working my way through your other videos cracking mate, thanks Ian
Hi mate just watched this video really enjoyed it. Mansfield is in Nottinghamshire if u don’t all ready know lol 👍
