- NooBiker and some friends headed to Scotland for a biking adventure, Grey Wolf arranged to meet up with Noob and treat him to some scenic local roads. Noob and his group were on the last leg of their tour stopping overnight in Alloa, from where the rest of the group headed home. Noob was on his way to Glasgow to meet up with another friend, so I took the opportunity to show him some stunning local scenic roads.
We tried to link our comms but even Cardo Edge to Cardo Bold isn't straight forwards, it would have been good to record our conversation but it wasn't to be. I also supplied Noob with a DJI mic hoping to at least hear his own thoughts about the experience. Sadly I think he hit the off button as he put the mic in his pocket, so no audio was captured.
With hindsight I should have fitted a rear facing camera to my bike but sometimes you just want to get on the road and avoid Tech hassles.
We met up at The Broxden farm Carvery and had some tea, coffee and breakfast while we waited for the rain to subside. I then led Noob towards Crieff, turning off at Gilmerton heading up the Sma' Glen. We took a left turn heading for Aberfeldy then headed for Kenmore on the end of Loch Tay. From there we climbed to the summit of the narrow road through Glen Quaich where we stopped to take some photos. Here ends Part 1, in Part 2 we continue back down the glen through stunning scenery and again stop for photos. Please join us for the 2nd part to conclude this scenic Scottish adventure.
We had turned full circle and returned to our starting point at Broxden Farm where Noob kindly treated me to some lunch. Thank you for joining us, we hope you enjoy following our scenic adventure and watch Part 2 when uploaded soon. Please like, share and put your thoughts and questions in the comments. Please note that sometimes comments remain hidden from me, I can't reply to what i can't see. Your support is invaluable to me and I try to return it in any way i can.
I love the biking community on RUclips. How else could you be hundreds of miles from home, and get your own personal local guide👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think it's brilliant you met up whilst Noob was up there Mike. I'll give you and Alex a shout when I can finally head North again.
Mike, with the Mic2, I have them set to start recording as soon as you turn them on, and have it locked so that you can't accidentally turn it off.
Blimey, they were doing up that Amulree Hotel when we were up, that's 3 years ago !! still doing it I see.
Nice route Mike, I thought you were going up someone's garden path near the end, then saw that lovely view with the hills in the distance.👌👌
Cheers Nige' the same Highland hospitality awaits you, hopefully later in the year before the snow limits our options. It's a real pity the Comms let us down and with hindsight I should have taken time to set up a rear facing camera. I switched the DJI to the chin mount and had the wrong mount on my bars, after faffing with the Comms we just wanted to get going.
Thanks for taking the time and showing me around, you showed me some great locations and roads. Hope to return the favour some time.
Thanks for agreeing to meet up and for treating me to lunch, In really enjoyed the day 👍😊
I'm shocked and appalled the coms didn't link up, I would have turned round and come home. Noo is such a trooper for sticking with it (I'm hoping by the end of the vid the coms have somehow healed)😂
Nope. It's a known fact that Cardo won't pair with Cardo 😂😂😂
@@NooBiker yes I have one, I'll never buy another 😄
We both tried setting up a group that was the mistake, unless the Edge sets it up first it's a no go. Even the DJI mic let me down, set it for internal recording but I think Noob hit the on/off button putting it in his pocket 😖
@@greywolf9292 famously, I am all thumbs 👎👎👎
@@NooBiker I've done it myself more than once it only takes a light touch, even brushing against the inside of your pocket is enough. 😔
Thanks Michael, I'm enjoying seeing the Glen Quaich road in the other direction. Looking forward to Part 2 👍
Thanks Mick, it's the first time I've done it in the opposite direction and to be honest it had me flummoxed a little bit. Going the other way I only remember one tight corner (hairpin/switchback) at the Kenmore end, yet there were a few tight ones doing it heading up the way. I should have part two up for Sunday as I edited the entire video, so it's just a case of cutting and deleting part one then uploading it.
They always seem tighter when you're trying to get round going up 😁
Some nice roads & scenery.
The roads are some of my local favourites so you'll have seen them before, I wanted Noob to experience them for himself as cameras don't do them justice. We were lucky the weather changed from a really wet morning to a decent afternoon.
@@greywolf9292 I got out today on some back roads.
So nice that you've taken the time to show that southerner what a beautiful country you have. We had the pleasure of riding with Noob down in Cornwall on the Saddlebags ride.
Surprised the Cardos wouldn't talk to each other. Arr well!
Hopefully I'll be your guide for yourself and Carol perhaps next year if you fancy it. Who'd believe Cardo wouldn't speak to Cardo, I put the solution in the description pity I only found it after the event. I've yet to watch your recent video, I'm sure it will be very entertaining as always.
enjoyed the ride sir. thank you. will have a video out this week. i have been slacking.
Cheers Blake I've been a bit lax myself at both editing and watching, I'll catch up on your vids now I've got some time to myself 😀
When NooB is behind you, you know he is quietly scrutinising your line choice and lifesavers 😂 All looked good to me, as did the scenery. Great meet-up, I’m a little envious. Nice one Mr Wolf 👍🏼
I was aware of that for the entire route although with local knowledge, my line choice is often road surface dependent. He was very gentlemanly and didn't make a comment apart from asking if I'd rode those roads often, which I think was in reference to my speed. I was holding back a bit because I lost him in my mirrors a few times. It's a pity the Comms wouldn't link it would have made for a more inclusive video. I hope yourself and Twinks decide to come up sometime, there are so many sights, so many points if interest and great walks.
I need to get there sometime 👍🏼
passing cars like that ! makes you younger sir. lovely scenery.
He's a hooligan 😂😂
@@NooBiker I've seen you get a wiggle on with Frankie in the twisties, I had an advantage I know the roads. Just be thankful I wasn't on the ZZR or the Rocket but Glen Quaich isn't really the road for either of them. The first time I rode that Glen was on the ZZR in the opposite direction, my heart was in my mouth negotiating those hairpins 😲
Wonderfull ride out and all the better with a fellow RUclipsr to come along and join in the fun. Cheers
@@kimetogo Cheers Joe, it’s a pity we couldn’t link comms or have mics capture dual audio, I’ll be better prepared next time and use more cameras.
Well that looked fun! 👍
It was!
@@NooBiker Could you understand Michael though, that's the question 🤣
@@GermanJobbies of course 😉
@@NooBiker 😅😅👍👍
@@GermanJobbies Noobs got a good set of earplugs with a built in translator 😊
Hi Michael, great ride out. Wish I knew as I could have probably popped up. Thats a shame about the Cardo not linking up. Cracking scenery as always!
You'll have seen those roads a few times now but some scenery you never tire of and I wanted Noob to experience them. There's been a couple of really bad accidents at the start of the Sma' Glen, one rider died six days after hitting a 4x4 with a trailer, then a couple on the first day of their Honeymoon got T-boned and the poor woman had to have her foot amputated.
In the video you could see as I turned into it from Gilmerton I'd already commited when a car appeared round the bend. Some locals fly along those roads, I know I like to get a wiggle on myself but I try to observe speed limits in congested areas and even small villages. The Cardo's require a set sequence when linking Edge to Bold, if you don't get it right first time you need to switch them off and start again Edge first. Let me know when you're next free for a trip close to Perth.
@greywolf9292 I never tire of that scenery Michael and its always a great escape from the city. Yeah I seen there was a few RTC's up there which is never good. We were out for a ride today and experienced a few idiots in cars, I almost lost the plot and was going to destroy one driver as he almost side swiped me on the motorway then refused to look at me (eyes fixed forward)
Drop me an email with your details and we can sort something out fir a future date. My email address is on my home page
@@BMCMOTOUK Driving standards really are a cause for concern, folk shooting out at every roundabout and crossroads, shooting through red lights. Then there’s the corner cutters, make up artists and sociaholics on their phones. I’ll pop you an email later so we can arrange a meet up 👍
Comms issues??? never haha, it like Deja Vu. Cracking road you took him around and weather held out fine eventually.
Yes, imagine Cardo linking to Cardo needing a special sequence, we even tried Bluetooth through the phone but I think the units were still out of sync. I've never done Glen Quaich the opposite way around, it's stunning either way. No bacon rolls this time, well actually I had one before we set off, Noob had already had breakfast. He treated me to the carvery when we finished the loop.
I took photos but my phone died two days later so I've had to take snap shots from the video. Hope you enjoyed Norway, I had plans myself this week but the Mrs took flight to Taiwan last Sunday won't be back untill Thursday.
I thought I was subscribed to you already, apparently not but I fixed that now. That was a lovely old bridge. Ride safe
I'm sure you were subbed but this platform loves to play games, it removes subs and hides comments and likes. I know other channels who've commented yet I can't see their comments, some are also being treated the same. Ever wondered why the bigger money making channels are flourishing yet smaller unmonetised ones offering often better views and riding similar bikes struggle? I've noticed the likes of yourself and other Scottish channels just don't get the attention you'd expect, unless people hunt for them they're not promoted in suggestions. 😟
At some point when the technology does not work for whatever reason you have to press on with the ride. That is the important part anyway.
Yes that's very true, however this wasn't an ordinary any day ride and missing communication between us takes so much away from the end result. At one point Noob was wanting me to stop to take a picture of a local sign for the village of Dull, which says it is twinned with Boring, Oregon, USA. Sadly his horn escaped my attention.
With the cardo's did you have them both in DMC and are they both compatible?. I have the issue with one of my friends I have to switch to Bluetooth and use the app on the phone to join the group. Blasting those lanes at 85mph, I'm surprised Noob kept up :D
Some beautiful views up there. Hopefully I will be able to come up and meet you as well soon.
With the Cardo's it actually seems easier to link non Cardo units by the method you mention. The issue was Noob tried to add me to a group first on his Bold, then I tried adding him, then I tried Bluetooth but that's a different process. Apparently the group needs to be initiated from the Edge to begin with otherwise you've to switch them both off and start that way. Never realised I'd hit that sort of speed, it must have been on an overtake.
Despite being tall and having a 21" front wheel the KTM does love the twisties, it's not so much fun on the hairpins though, being so high up. Get in touch when you've settled on dates, I'll happily give you a tour. Hopefully you can have a go of the ZZR if I haven't sold it, I'm considering it as I'm not getting any younger. It also gets up to ridiculous speeds in the blink of an eye but then that's why I bought it. It's also Mrs Wolf's favourite for that very same reason, often I have to spare the spurs when she asks me to give it the whip 🏍️💨😊😀😮
