Freddie love your stuff - my wife loves you!! Not sure when you were in Scotland but I did the NC 500 for 10 days starting 4th June to
And from the Cotswolds wait for it…..on a 35 year old YB100cc that has done 32000 miles on the original engine. Oh and I’m a 23 stone 70 year old!! I’m currently editing videos the first one comes out tomorrow. Weather for me was fantastic!
I’ll pin this comment, Rob- what an adventure!!😳😀
@@FreddieDobbs It was !!
I love your channel cause it’s not all about the machines, it’s about a lifestyle, it’s about the people we meet and the places those machines, take us on this journey we call life.
Living vicariously through Freddie's adventures.
Ha! life all of us 😉
I now eagerly wait for new Freddie videos. Simple,poetic way of presenting ,kudos ...
Same!
Thank you sir, I’m so happy you enjoy the videos🙂
@@FreddieDobbs
Dobbsy
Agree!!!
Freddie is so cool. Just relaxing watching his videos and adventures 😊
Hi Freddie good evening. This is Sunil from New Delhi India. Love watching your videos. Wanted to buy Boneyville T100 in 2017 but due to unforeseen financial losses suffered in business, had to shelve the plans. Have booked RE Super Mateor in Feb and awaiting it's delivery. Happy Riding Himalayan
I’m so happy you’re back up and running and able to buy your dream bike, Sunil! Here’s to many happy miles🙂🤘🏼🇮🇳
These videos are basically therapy to me at this point. Excellent work freddie, very very very much appreciated!
Thank you Edward, I so happy you enjoy them🙂
Wait until you meet Mr Midge and his many , many family friends !
😆
Fish & Chips for tea .. and a Freddie video to watch. Awesome.
Thanks Patrick, have a great evening🙂
Axe throwing, beer and whiskey drinking... what could POSSIBLY go wrong 😂
Lovely video, thank you
Exactly my thoughts😆
@@FreddieDobbs😂
I suspect he's drinking whisky, not whiskey
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420
Who knew...
whisky is from Scotland and whiskey is from Ireland.
I didn't know that
A damn good time of course
After my brother 'gave' me his almost new KZ900, he bought this.
Back then, it seemed soooo smooth to ride. And, sooo futuristic.
Yeah, I would believe, if asked back then, if it'd do 100k miles, absolutely.
Thank you Freddie!
Oh, my brother let me take this out one late night (as an older brother would, he threatened my life if anything happened while I was riding this! Lol, well, something did but I didn't tell him until years later, 😮).
Like I said, late evening, wee small hours of the morning, I was the only one on a very wide and long and dark freeway, when I decided to test this thing, see what it felt like to go over 100 miles an hour on a bike.
I was watching the Speedo climb over 100 and something, when I noticed I wasn't the only one on the freeway. What caught my attention, was red and blue flashing lights all around me, or so it seemed, I looked over my shoulder, about knocked me off the bike from the scare, was a motorcycle Highway Patrol. He was right on my shoulder!
Man, I haven't thought about that for I don't know how long, sorry for all the comments Freddie.
I love this- what a story! It’s funny how a bike can transport you right back to a specific moment in time🙂
Freddie, you should be with a major TV company! Your way of mixing riding and scenery in your editing is quite simply superb. I added a sub and am now working my way through your entire back catalogue of videos, they're all fantastic. Your ease of presentation is brilliant, AND you speak as a fellow biker, with very interesting tips and ideas. Thank you so much for all your content, keep up the great work. Ride safe mate
Great video. I was sitting on my arse watching, I hit the pause button, grabbed the triumphs keys and went for my own ride. So dare I say inspirational too! I’m now back to hit the play button. Thanks Mr Dobbs.
The quality of video u are turning out is awesome Freddie, I appreciate the work u put into editing these vids for ur audience 👍👌
Man. That seems like a cool place to hang out and look at bikes!
I didn’t expect it to be such a cool motorcycle shop- the selection was incredible!
Oh man it looks absolutely amazing! I might have to check out that bikerbnb situation ;)
Another awesome video by Dobbs!
Your channel is blowing up! I always knew this would eventually happen as soon as I stumbled upon one of your videos nearly 3 months ago. Congrats on 100k (almost)
I haven’t rode a motorcycle since I were a teenager and watching Freddie’s videos makes me feel like going out and buying another one and I’m 61 now
absolutely beautiful countryside...thank you so much for sharing....
Great video Freddie. Welcome to Scotland - one of the best biking countries on the planet.
Cracking as always Freddie! 👍😁
Great scenery, looking forward to the rest of your trip.
Brilliant Video Freddie, welcome to Scotland.

Really enjoying this series. Good enough to be on TV. Well done.
Great one again Freddie. You made my day, sunshine, coffee by the backyard and on top your beautiful images with amazing sound track. Cheers from France
Love this video. I’m looking forward for more
Was checking for a new video everyday. Didn’t disappoint, best video you’ve made 🎉
Wow that Himalayan is beautiful! Enjoy the ride.
Fabulous Freddie! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. So good to see you got a RE Himalayan to ride. Cheers!
Outstanding scenery.
I thought I recognised Craig. (Scrambler AMS) My wife and I spent a week riding with him on Gran Canaria back in 2016. He's a really nice guy and a really good rider.
Looks great accommodation and an interesting trip. 👍
Lovely colours and framing at the end there Freddie.... thanks for sharing.
Fantastic !
Thank you both!
That’s incredibly kind of you Ron, thank you so much! Both Monika and I are sending you all our very best over in the US🙂🇺🇸
I can feel it, thank you both sooo much!
How fortunate you are to take life by the horns and choose your path. Looks absolutely relaxing.
I enjoy your videos Freddie!!😊😊
The ZRX looks phenomenal, especially in that green. Great video! Have fun.
Real nice ride and beautiful place to make a road trip always a good video to imagine going to a road trip like that ❤
Ohh Freddie, the start a of another epic adventure 👌 Hope you like the midgies😉 Enjoy beautiful Scotland!🙌 Stay cool⭐️
That reminded me my journey around Asturias a year ago, I was riding a Himalayan also, I really liked that experience
Brilliant Freddie.
Another superb vlog! Scotland and RE Himmie - the perfect match when the sun shines! Fabulous filming and editing- thank you Freddie & Monica.
Thank you Ian🙂
Looks like a fun trip to do .
Great video Freddie! That has to be the best bike dealer I have ever seen. I really like Edinburg and I had the same impression regarding the Scottish architecture when I was over there. Enjoy the adventure 👍🏻👍🏻
Pure class Freddie - pure class 👌
Great video Freddie 🎉
Thanks Martin!
I would love to ride through the town of Chillingbourne on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. ❤
lovely scenery
Great vlog Freddie, looks stunning, beers, whisky and axe throwing...what more can you ask for?..lol look forward to this adventure.
Freddie again!
Yes sir!🙂
Top Notch! You and your Lady friend are doing great things. Top 5 Motorcycle RUclips channels for me. Thanks to both of you. Love the music selection.
One of my favorite trips so far, Freddie. And the music choices are spot on for the mood of this adventure! Well done!
Personally I'd rather hear the bikes than the music, particularly when it's piped at a somewhat higher level than the speech - makes me jump out of my seat when it starts 😎
Awesome ❤THANK YOU 😊
Great video of a great trip.
I cant wait to see Scotland again, I love it up there.
I'm off for my first ride with thd Widows sons on Sunday.
Can't wait!
Those custom Royal Enfield Interceptor scramblers are amazing! I've been planning to get an interceptor to customize similar to that, looks like great fun
Lovely cafe to start the day.
Been to scotland 3 times on a bike and weather was beautiful - guess lucky. Truly beautiful biking roads. Am so envious matey
Looks great Freddie nice one
That bike shop is awesome.
Been waiting for this one to go along with my meal.
I hope you enjoy it🥘📹🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I did. Cheers!
Nice one Freddie.....
Great vlog Freddie. God's country. I miss Scotland. Enjoy every minute
Brilliant video Freddie. I did my DAS with Saltire this year and I can highly recommend them 👍
Brilliant as always…
Another interesting ride Mr Dobbs. That kawasaki was immaculate. Looked like it was off the showroom floor!
Excellent!
Absolutely Love That Highlander Interceptor 650 Stunning 😎😎
Gotta love Scotland on a bike! Nice video as ever.....
Great Freddie best of luck for your ride Himalayan is good
What a fantastic overnight stop (helped by the beautiful weather of course 😎) and I’m very much looking forward to the rest of this trip and seeing how you feel about the Himalayan. I keep getting tempted to add one to my stable as a lightweight fun green lanes bike 👍
I’ll try and not give too much away on my thoughts re the Himalayan, but it was genuinely thrashed for five days solid!
Wait, what, another amazing series from Freddie, straight after the Morocco one, hurry, wheres that beer?! Ride safe!! 👍👍
Freddie I’m not really into motorbikes but…
Every adventure you go on interesting great commentary price of hotels bit of history few facts & good follow up…
Top job keep em coming 👍👍👍👍thank you 🙏
I'll be visiting the UK in 2025 and Scotland is high on the agenda along with IOM TT .. I always enjoy your videos Freddie, you have great skills with the camera and a good attitude to life. Enjoy your weekend!
The modified interceptor looks incredible. I’m new to Royal Enfield and recently moved away from sportsbikes to a ‘22 Continental GT 650, partly down to your review of the dux deluxe model 😊 loving it so far 👍🏼
What beautiful country in the sunshine. So glad you got the bike sorted out. The Himalaya is much more accommodating than your Pops bicycle😁. Looking at those hard panniers it is set up perfectly for this type of adventure.
What an awesome video. What an amazing place and journey. I am jealous. Though I must admire that beautiful Kawasaki. I can’t believe, with your love for old cars, that you didn’t make any mention of that fabulous old Triumph Herald parked behind the Kwacker.
Saltire is where I picked up my classic 350 a year ago, great place and a great bunch of guys. Always seem interested to show you around and the cafe is great for a biker lunch (or a good cup of tea).
Absolutely amazing ,so glad the weather is being kind. I ordered a Classic 350 from Saltire and collect in a couple of weeks. Your video helped my decision. Saltire Motorcycles looks amazing. Can't wait to follow the rest of your Scottish adventure.
Picking up a Classic 350 from Saltire will be a superb experience- I could spend hours wondering around there👌🏻🙂
Have a brilliant pick up day- I can imagine you’re counting down the hours!
@@FreddieDobbs thanks Freddie, I can’t wait. Will you be travelling to any of the Scottish islands?
This is why the rest of biker Europe come to the uk.
It's fabulous.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Saltire Motorcycles are great guys, my go to dealer in Edinburgh. Then it was like watching my sunday ride 😅you stopped at Powmill Milk Bar (a great biker stop) and back roads up to Perthshire.
Glad you got the weather, great content Freddie, loving it 👌
I didn’t expect Saltire to be so big! The biking scene in Scotland is much bigger than I thought it’d be.
Riding heaven❤🏴
Nice Triumph Herald!👍
As they say in Scotland, Funtastic
Love your videos.
Thank you🙂🙌🏻🙌🏻
Very Beautiful Video Bro 👏🏻 . good job 😊
That bike looks dope
Beautiful summer weather--and you thought it would surely be raining by now.
I'm going to head up to Scotland on my Harley Breakout someday. I love Scotland, especially the Highlands.
