That looks way too tight for slack with the bike on center stand and no weight on the back tire. Once you sit on the bike it will be way too tight
That single track was also one of my favourite roads. Very well edited and very entertaining video 👍
Thank you, it took me forever! lol.. I dont know how you edit them so quickly.
@@davemetcalf8431 Can imagine as there was some great creative editing in there. The bit that takes the longest is working through the days recording and trimming it all down! After that my edits are fairly simple thankfully.
Thank you, well done.
Thank you, :)
bloody fantastic mate - love the channel. Please may I ask which AI image generation tool you use for your excellent graphics - those two ladies on the combo unit - keep up the great work - your Audio is fantastically clear mate - I am struggling to get it that clear. I use two microphones. One behind my ear picking up the audio from the sena speaker and the other on the microphone on the helmet. However your doing yours is brilliant mate. All the very best. Dave
We are experimenting ourselves with audio, thumbnails etc... we initially bought Insta Cameras which can record from the Bluetooth on your headset (which is good audio but has some down sides). On this video we just plugged in the external mic to an adapter for the cameras which allowed us to record clear audio direct to the cameras and kept the comms totally separate. Doing this was far easier on the trip and extended the comms battery life. I then had the awful task of matching the video from both cameras in premier pro. It is actually two different recorded tracks overlayed on top of each other. Hope this helps..
@@davemetcalf8431thanks pal - how do you generate the images of the ladies in kilts on a motorcycle ? Fantastic videos mate
@Anotherflyonmyvisor just ask it. Something like... create me an image of two women wearing kilts on Motorcycles in the Highlands. Create it in the style of 40s pinup art. (Something like that... then just keep saying... try again if it's not an image of what you want).
Another superb entertaining video, what a fabulous road that was. Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed the journey... it's an awesome route that we will return to once Craig gets his kite.
Has anyone tested a Freecom 4+ after updating the unit? I didn't think to check the firmware on mine but as of now, the headset connects but has no sound in or out.
I'm sure thats the unit Craig has... Update the Cardo unit to the latest update.. pair the units and then make them part of the group chat (I think this is done by pressing and holding both parties in the app)
@@davemetcalf8431 Hi, I've since done these steps based on various posts and videos. Even with an update, the noise filter turned off, and grouping in the app, it crackles with static, and has virtually no sound input. If you yell/shout and crank the volume on the playback, you can faintly hear it.
@@dervisher5420 do you accidently have the input db's turned down on the camera?
@@davemetcalf8431 Hi Dave, no. Everything is at its default levels.
Done this road several times, always a great route.
It just went on and on... we loved it.
What an exceptional route. Few cars, no people on the road. The right road for me and my Ural .
I am definitely taking my URAL back when I get the opportunity!
The Dave and Craig sticker tour continues 😁. You must be really good friends, as much fun as you have. Again great scenery.
We cut all the violent scenes out of the videos which helps give the impression of a good friendship.... but we do have some good times out on the roads :)
@@davemetcalf8431 🤣 6.45 a.m. here in Nuremberg. The day starts with a laugh. 👍
Just been editing my video of this road and It was my favourite section of the NC. Stunning road with stunning views.
Looking forward to your video... how long did it take you?
@@davemetcalf8431 we did NC and Skye over 6 days but was a day getting up and back home. Want to go back already!
worst thing ever to happen is someone putting nc signs up. There is hardly multiple choices of routes around scotland you either go around it or you don’t.
Yeah I could be that right enough
It sure is but have you noticed that the so called motorcycle vloggers don't do this road
I'm sure that when we ventured down this route one of the signs had been covered over, so I wonder if it is too narrow for the usual NC500 traffic. They may be actively trying to conceal it for safety reasons? Maybe... it is also easy to fly passed it as I did on my first NC500 trip.
Called the wee mad road absolutely the best part of nc500
the footage doesn't do the experience justice... and it just seemed to go on and on... awesome road :)
And the entertainment continues, very good indeed.
We do it all for you Franky! xxx.. glad you enjoyed it :)
One of the best places I have ever visited. What a road and the view is exceptional.
You're not wrong!! I can't wait to get back!
@@davemetcalf8431 Done it three times last year this year. Twice on a CF Moto 650MT and now on my Tracer. You have to go back around clockwise now.
@@MickBoswell I have done it clockwise... on a URAL and sidecar of all things. I had the space for a lot of camping equipment in the sidecar so I pitched a tent around some of the lochs.... what has been your best mode of transport for the journey?
Beautiful.
The place is outstanding for scenery! It is such a beautiful place.
Amazing dancing!
Trained her myself!
nice views and a big smile
The views are spectacular.. the cameras don't do it justice.
man man that was a good laugh
We always have a good time when we're allowed to play out.. glad you enjoyed the video :)
nice views and very funny too.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Just found you two. Love it never laughed like this before "Your two as as funny as a Cocky full of piss (grog)" ( they are a laugh) .Just love it! Sub and liked and shared so hopefully you crash 10 subbies! Lols. . Jim. Outback Australia.
You're our hero Jim!... and I'm glad you like the video. I'm going to label you as a super fan!.. lol.. have a great day!
😆 😂... It's getting worse!... I need a buzzer.
Take a shot for every time Dave leaves his indicator on...
Excellent! the narration kept me glued to the video. My 2004 Ural Troyka has been a blast to drive. If your not a people person don't buy one of these, lol. Enjoy the ride. Always RIDE 3 ! leave the 2-wheeler home! Ken from Massachusetts
I do love the three wheeled adventures! :) 😀 Thanks Ken!
Nice video. Beautiful countryside. I'm still learning my 2023 Gear Up and its unreliability. Some day I'll visit there...
The Scottish roads were built for the URAL! They may be unreliable but you cant kill one :)
Best videos I've seen on CZcams for ages.😂
Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We're working on the third day, which in our view was the best day for riding and scenery!
Some of the best landscapes to be found anywhere in the world, cant wait to go back in a few weeks. Awesome video
Couldn't agree more!.. I'm already planning a return lol. I hope you have an awesome time!
You could post a GPX file of your route.
I'll see if Craig can help out with that one. He is the tech wiz.
Lads - fantastic - loved your sense of Humour, your editing, photography. Bang on Lads - all the best - Dave - Cambs
Thank you. It really was an incredible ride, and I'm so glad you enjoyed watching it. 😀
Brilliant 🤣
Thank you 😊 🙏
You had better weather than in Germany 🤔. Great landscape. Craig and Dave sticker on Balmoral castle 😂. Great idea. Gorgeous scenery. Enjoy it. laughed a lot 🤣Rode my Ural for 2 hours today. Was a lot of fun.
Yes, I have mine out today!! Mainly to weld bits back on it 😆 🤣... glad you liked the video :)
Roads look amazing, so scenic!
The roads were awesome 👌!
Cracking video boys, great laugh🤣
@oldmaninashed Cheers! It was a nightmare putting up with him snoring though...
Thanks! Much appreciated :) and we both know that I'm the one who suffered from sleep deprivation!
I quit riding when I had a bad collision on my bike. Little while later I was diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. Most of the time I am to weak to do much of anything, let alone ride a bike anymore. I could never balance the bike at a stop in my present condition, legs just don't have the strength anymore. Once I saw your videos' I thought, "If I had a sidecar I wouldn't have to put my feet down." Cool. Now I just need a bike AND a sidecar. (Outfit? Never heard of that term.)
Sorry to hear of your struggles.. A sidecar would be perfect for that!.. where are you based?
@@davemetcalf8431 Washington.
Ah John o groats , with my wife and two son's we spent 2 weeks at the captains house in Mey (that's the name of the area ) and our nearest neighbour was ....king Charles !!, he has a castle there . Scotland is the most beautiful place I have ever seen 😍. Go there ,the people are kind and the whisky ...pure heaven .
I've just come back from that very place (Scotland)... and we did keep our eyes out for King Charles, but only got the staff from Balmoral Castle. The West Coast of Scotland was the most magical of places, and I can't wait to get back!
Thanks for a very informative video 10/10 👍,as a veteran motorcyclist of 40 years (bloody hell !!!has it been that long 😁) I am now on the look out for a ural bike and sidecar. Maybe I'll see you all on the road 👍. Peace out ✌️
A great place to start looking is F2 Motorcycles. He's such a wealth of knowledge on these vehicles, and he also sells sidecar outfits. He's the kind of man that won't sell you something that you don't need...
I live in PA and have wheeled an outfit for many years. I first got into it when my children were first born so my wife, children and I could all go riding. The Winters here can be hard so the sidecar added stability in the snow and ice. I rode it to work all year long in any kind of weather. It's an "American Spirit Sidecar" and I still have it to this day! Nothing more fun than flying the car in the air on an inboard sharp turn and of course drifting on an outboard fast turn! 🤗 PS...It was first attached to an Norton 850, now its attached to a BMW R60.
Lol... you're a braver man than me!
Enjoyed the trip. If I could add something about The war in Ukraine though. The war did not start when Russian tanks went into Ukraine. At the least it started 10 years before that. Many would say that when the tanks rolled in it was with plenty of justification on Russia's part. More often in the west you just cannot trust anything you hear about Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Syria any country that threatens Western Hegemony. When I say the west I mean all of it. The MSM in all western country's are just stenographers to power. You are all being lied to on a level that is hard to believe, but believe it you must if we are to stop what is coming.
First, I hated the whispering voice. Second, sidecars are slower and can only go where cars can go, unless you've got a Ural with a powered third wheel. I want a sidecar rig because I don't really like cars and I want to be capable of carrying lots of stuff for when I move. If I return to the north, a sidecar on my motorcycle would allow me to ride in the winter months and not need to buy a car. I tried studded tires for a couple of winters. They have a speed limitation.
I'd love a gear up version of the ural, but they are just so expensive 😫... maybe consider poping a winch on the sidecar. This will get you out of most sticky situations.
A herd of Slags eh...... curry, Scotlands national dish... according to some, great video lads.
Thank you, we are trying lol. I'm actually astonished you made it through to those parts of the video.
Looks good! Can’t wait for day 2!
That cost me a fiver!! You could have put a little more effort into it!
This was certainly pretty to look at. As a life long motorcyclist, I can not see ever riding one of these contraptions. A motorcycle & sidecar combination has all the disadvantages of a car and a motorcycle, and none of the advantages of either.
Beleive me... that's exactly what I said!.. 😆
What area you riding in video, the beach looked lush
That would be the coast between seaton sluice and tynemouth in the UK
Ahh , North Shields, im South Devon and it looked like a place I've ridden to in Cornwall, lol
Man, I enjoyed that video so MUCH! Gotta get me some rubles and order my Ural now! :) Lovely video, thanks for sharing!
Is that sarcasm?.. I detect a little sarcasm 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@davemetcalf8431 No sarcasm intended! I genuinely like the Ural! I love the idea that they still build them to deal with the Russian winter. Unbreakable motorcycles! I wonder how they'd deal with our bad roads here in the tropics?
It does fine in Florida.@@sethbrown1763
If you have an old Dyna could the sidecar be the answer to the “DEATH WOBBLE”?
The Sidecar Outfit I have Wobbles After 10mph! 🤣... try and imagine wrestling a small bear down a street. Luckily it doesn't get up to a speed associated with a speed wobble.
Do they sell them with swat heating?
Not sure.
Ok, I felt I had to subscribe.... it would be rude not too 🤣
It's compulsory... 😆
Just don't buy a Ural, they're junk!
Many URAL enthusiasts would disagree... but I understand where you're coming from 😆
