- What a stunning few days this was! I can't believe I live in Ireland and this was my first time doing this route. It certainly won't be the last. There are some great stories to behold in this episode.

Thanks Dave - we really enjoyed riding along with you especially since you conjured up some great weather ☀️ when we did that part of the country this year we were dogged with never ending greyness! 😳😀
Thanks folks! I’ll be watching yours later…👌🤗
Brilliant Dave…really enjoyed that……..44mins = 2 cups coffee and 6 biscuits..nice…👍🏻🏴
Thanks very much!🙏🏍
Hi David. Myself and my girlfriend, had the pleasure of riding the road, you are on from the Giant's Causeway to Belfast, and what a beautiful part of Northern Ireland. You are so lucky to be in a lovely country. 👍🍀
You're in my back yard! (so to speak)
The coastal route is one of my regular runs. I also love dock yards ... always something interesting to see. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Great trip, great scenary, great stories! Now I'm really homesick.
Greetings from N.I. Thank you for showing my local bike run its just stunning and so many go to the WAW and miss the best of Ireland which is in N.I. Regards Robert
Born and bred in Belfast but managed to get out when I was 18 in the early '80s. Not been back much since. Bad memories. Your video is reminding how beautiful and interesting th6e country is. Perhaps it's time for reparations and to erase some ghosts. ATVB
I certainly hope my vids help eradicate the memories for you. It really is some of the most spectacular landscape I’ve ridden.
Always enjoyable Dave to be along on your trips. Nice that it’s a good length video as well. Thank You
Living in Belfast this is a regular spin of mine , in fact I did a run today up to Ballycastle and back. World class scenery, especially on a nice day, you forget how beautiful it is until you see it on videos like this ! 👌🏻
You’re a lucky person living up there. 😍👌
Brilliant start to the series Dave. Stunning scenery expertly filmed and photographed as always. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Tony. 👌🎥
Great video. I know the roads well. Some very interesting facts as well that I didn’t know. Look forward to next one.
Greetings from Thailand Dave, as a fellow geordie and biker I enjoy watching your videos and your little stories and snippets of information are the iceing on the cake as they say.
Ah many thanks Brian. Haway the lads!!👌
Belter this one, looking forward to the next episode great work Dave 👍🏻
Great. Thank you.
I've been looking forward to these videos and it hasn't disappointed 👍loved the Titanic intro. I've rode that route for over 40 years and didn't know the story about the sailor. Next time you're north my coffee machine is always working ☕
Appreciate that Raymond. Next year at this stage but I’ll pop that in my grey matter.👌🏍️
Some of your best work yet, well done Sir ! Thanks!
And thank you for watching. 🙏
Glenarm Castle better known for its gardens and coffee shop.
Great vid Dave,really enjoyed the stories and the scenery. One of my bucket list places to ride. 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻from British Columbia.
We have stayed in cushendun, twice, it means brown river, got lock ins at mary mcbrides pub too, and we signed their visitor book, bevause they liked geordies
Enjoyed the video, Torr Head is a tight wee road ,always Enjoyed doing the coast road 😀 👍
Nice one Dave , I love the ride to Ballycastle, if you walk towards the harbour bikers meet up there over the weekend. Great vlog as usual looking forward to the next instalment 👍👏
I’ll remember that for the next trip up there Paul. 👌🏍
Another amazing production Dave, really enjoy your series just catching up so looking forward to the next episode to watch
Thanks Simon, hope all is well. Drive through Oldcastle yesterday and thought of you. 🙏🏍
Magical!
Great Video, loving the production. Cant wait to get over on tour next year
Brilliant beginning to the new series Dave; photography great as usual. Watching this on Sunday evening…better than anything on TV 📺 Cheers from Cambridge
Thanks Neil. Have a good week mate. 🙏🏍🎥
Funny you mentioned the Spanish fleet.
My ancestor Donal Cam O'Sullivan was instrumental in enlisting the Spanish to help defeat or at least repel Cromwell.
Brian Boru was the man back then.
Thanks a lot Dave that's another part of Ireland I have to go to now ! 😂 another top vid 👍👍
Thanks for a beautiful episode. I’ve not been to Ireland so I appreciate the time you take to get these shots. Thanks again.
Thanks Marco. 👌
Another great video in what looks like another amazing series, Dave. I am looking forward to the next instalment.
Cheers buddy. 👌🏍️
Excellent video Dave 📹...I can tell you have put a lot of love and effort into this film! Great stuff, looking forward to seeing the next episode 👍 Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve.
Hi Dave, I’m only getting the chance to catch up on videos this morning due to work being flat out this last few weeks 😅
The next time your in Belfast go back to the Titanic visitor centre and do the tour, there is lots of information and interesting things on display and a short walk or ride on past the visitor centre is the Thompson Graving dock where it was fitted out inside to which I think you can get down into the dry dock now to really grasp how big the ship was. Now to crack on with the rest 😁
We will have to do it again, there is so much more to see, plus we might get into the Castle next time 😂 Cn’t believe we picked the best of the weather, so lucky! Makes me want to go back!!!!!!!!!
I still can’t believe our luck with that weather Trev. The luck of the Irish ☘️….and Scottish 🏴
Great intro Dave. Brilliant scenery and informative narration too. Very polished. I will look forward to the rest of the series. Keep up the good work. Its what makes your channel stand out 👍👍👍
Appreciate that Marc. Thank you 🙏
Super production Dave. Planning on doing that route soon. So I will watch with great interest . Maybe I could book a coffee in Cushiondall 😂
Take a flask mate.🥴👌
Dave at Glenarm if you'd gone straight on instead of right into Castle Street that takes you into the forest walks. Good views of the castle and opportunity to launch the drone.
Good to know for next time. 🙏👀
This is a great video!! Caha pass is just amazing, when we rode The Long Day Down this year we went from the druid by Molly Gallivan's cottage through Caha Pass down to Crookhaven, amazing roads down there!!
Thanks Michael. I made a video about Caha pass last year and fully agree, it’s an amazing route.
Another great series by looks.of it Dave 👍 Loved that first installment, looking forward to the next one.
Many thanks Colm.
@WheelieGoodTV Being stuck in the house painting at weekends, so your videos are more welcome than ever Dave 🙂 Got to keep herself happy too and build up a few brownie points for bike trips next year 😀
Fabulous video Dave as always. As it happens I`m just in the process of uploading my part 1 video of the very same route 😄😄😄
Hi Dave, we came on the ferry from Cairnryan in August of this year and after landing in Belfast, headed off on the Caueway Route. It was at the end of a four month tour of Europe and we did not give it the time it deserved. If you go to the Giants Causeway, park up at the Causway Hotel. It costs £10 but you take your ticket in and the price is taken off your lunch bill.
🤣 This is all in the next episode. 👌🙏
The Antrim coast has rarely looked so well on film!
Loved the graveyard tale too. Wound be a nice place to visit at the end of this month. 👻
If you have a spare 2-3hrs on your next visit I would recommend the guided walk along the Gobbins path. There might be a mention of the Titanic sea trials if you listen carefully to the guide.
If you're concerned about copyright, why don't you blast out a few bars of 'Carrickfergus' yourself? I'm sure Dave's dulcid tones would sound as well in song as they do in speach. 😁👍
Thanks Fabian, I’ll let you into a secret…..I did actually sing a verse of Carrickfergus then cut it out in the edit.😬 I’ve hear of the Gobbins path so will defo put it on the list for my next visit. Sláinte
@@WheelieGoodTV is the unedited version only available on Patreon? 😂👍
Hi dave
I wish I had of knew that you were coming up to my neck of the woods as they say. I've have been a subscriber more or less since you started with the fjr1300 that you had and watch every video that you have made just never commented. I live in Carrickfergus and would have loved to have met up and showed you the North Coast. Enjoy your videos every Saturday morning along with your banter as they say. Thoroughly enjoy your content and hope you enjoy my part of the world,.
Take care Andy
Ah Andy, what a lovely message. I’ll be back next year so maybe I’ll let people know before I head up just in case people want to meet up. Thanks again.
Ridden that road many times in all sorts of weather. Sorry to hear of your frustrations around Glenarm Castle and Coffee shops. You might have had more luck on a Sunday when the coast road is buzzing with motorcycles. Looking forward to the next installment and the rest of the North Coast and Derry.
Yes I’ll use it as an excuse to head back up there, not that I need an excuse. 🏍
Love it . We might spend a lifetime exploring new places, I hope.
Beautiful part of the world Dave and well captured by you. Been up that way for nw200 and armoy road races usually stay at ballintoy where the rope bridge is. The harbour there is lovely. Safe travels!
Hi Dave, I did the coastal route earlier on in the summer when the weather was glorious and it has got to be one of the best scenic and riding roads I have done, can't believe you didn't stop at the polar bear and it makes me laugh when two GS riders are nervous about going over gravel lol
There was so much to see we literally had to pick a handful of stops otherwise there would have been 10 eps.🥴
Empty roads? Try that route on a Sunday, stacks of bikes. Nice video 👏👍
Yeah I’ve been since…on a Sunday. Unreal difference 🥴🏍
If this is a preview to the next videos to come then I'm more hooked than ever to your channel Dave! Totally enjoyable for all sorts. My family ended up watching this to the end, and that included my 2 young 9 year old twins and the inlaws! The way you balanced the content with history and interesting facts along with the Irish countryside was marvelous. The weather helped a bit too! Fate favors the brave as they say!
Jeepers that sounds like quite a house full Stephen! Great feedback too, thanks so much. 🙏🏍️🎥
Stunning route Dave, last did it as part of the WAW in 2018 on my 2015 Triple Black, but it was all a bit of a rush. Living in Northumberland I need to go back and do it properly next year, now there’s a plan👍
And I’m hatching a plan to go and revisit my old stomping ground in Northumberland next year. 😉👌
@@WheelieGoodTV Still stunning, live just off the Military Road outside Hexham, spoilt for choice regarding roads and scenery.
A friend, no longer with us, came from Carrickfergus. Always wanted to see it so thanks for giving us a glimpse. The Titanic museum is well worth a visit, excellent place.
Yes I’ve been to the museum, it’s superb. They don’t like you filming in there though.🏍️😬
Great video with history, beautiful scenery and a stunning coastline. Love it Dave, you make it so real. It’s on my bucket list for Trev to take me, which we shall do on 4 wheels and stay at the Glass Island in Ballycastle. Electric jacket essential today for bikers in Scotland it’s 6 degrees.
Ah thanks for commenting Aileen. Yes he’s very green to bring you to Glass Island and also the pub we went to that night was cracking!👌🙏
Always seems to bother me most that when another friend is along and plans aren't working out. In the States there is always a McDonald's around the corner. Better luck on episode 2. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Know every inch of tarmac in that area been wanting to do a vlog on it for years. Glad ya didn't bring we Billy in at Carick. Islandmagee is worth a visit. The old clock tower in Cushendall and the Village of Galboly. Was the goat not out at Cushendun guarding the caves. Great video David
I think I’m going to have to revisit since there’s so much more to see up there. Cheers for the kind words. 👌
@@WheelieGoodTV Cheers for showing it off so well
Brilliant coverage, Dave. I know every inch of that coast from childhood holidays, but the Armada story was new to me. Thank you! Paul (NI expat in Germany)
Greetings from a Norn Ireland man in France. That was brilliant - thank you! A quick question - do you sit on the selfie stick holdong your 360 camera? I think I heard you mention that before in a previous video.
Many thanks. Yes for the side shots I do sit on the stick so I can pull it in if I end up on a tight road with something coming towards me. 👌🎥🏍
Did you make it as far as Torr Head (or at least the car park and walk from there)?
Yes we went there but I can’t remember if it made the cut for the vids?🤔 There was so much to see and film.
