Hi Richard & Carol. Firstly, my eml has been on for nearly 2 years and no problems whatsoever. When I lubed my chain, I put a paddock stand under the rear. I fired the bike up and put it into first gear and sprayed the chain as it ticked over and it was this that put the EML on. Ridiculous, that it then needs a Yamaha dealer to put it out. However, with yours having done much more miles than mine and it coming on just during normal riding, I would just get it checked as it could be a sensor or somesuch. I did think you might have mentioned the fantastic Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge Railway. Beautiful little engines. However Rich, another super vid.. and I love the Legacy of Valour music at the end. It's a beautiful piece and a great choice for that beautiful scenery.

Since Carol passed her test and became involved in the channel, we've tried to make better edited entertaining vids. We still predominantly made the vids for ourselves to look back on in later years. You definitely get more of a sense of satisfaction organising your own trips. Stop when you want to stop. My only advice with the filming would be, don't record hours and hours of riding footage. Just short sections or you lose the will to look through it all later and edit.

Hi enjoyed your vid ending at a favorite of ours,Ravenglass is a Roman Harbour town which served the Roman army's stationed in the area and at Hardknott Fort the remains a Roman bath house is just up the road and there is a light railway which will take you to Boot very near the Eskdale end of Hardknott Pass. There is a lot to see in the area and Ravenglass makes a good base for exploring the West coast of the Lake district, we were there in June and I had my Super Cub so did the Hardknott, Wrynose, Kirkstone Newlands and Honister passes lots of fun on a small bike we visited Whitehaven for the rum museum and I just had to have a few bottles to take home. I would love to do the Yorkshire Dales/ North Pennines while I can still ride just need to plan my own routes and find the time.

Nice ride and video. That pub room was mahoosive. A whole suite. But you wanna do this coast to coast by bicycle. A great ride Whitby to Whitehaven. Some do it in one day. I did it in two about 20 years ago. Could still do it in two days just about. £17 for fish n chips is extortionate. How about doing a coast2coast Great Yarmouth to Machynlleth? A Yamaha dealer, if you take it to one, will see your MT10's EML as an Easy Money Light.

Maybe wrapped in paper as a takeout but eaten in with great service (and absolutely the most amazing wc facilities). It wasn't that bad.

I imagine the price of fish and chips in Whitby is so high is because they don't land any cod at Whitby or anywhere local like Grimsby or Hull these days and it costs a fortune to transport it in from overseas. Surely it wouldn't be just to rip off the tourists - that's not like the UK!

I cycled that Coast to Coast route in 2014. That galleon is due to come into Weymouth at the end of August, looks brilliant. You can actually go on board for £12 each ! I love whores!! Carol's shaking them tic tacs at you again, TEASE!! And the majority of roads round here have grass growing up the middle, it adds to the excitement of the ride, it's always in ya mind that you're gonna spin on it or brake on it, and come off. Lovely route tough, and a great place to ride all around there. A biking paradise. Great find with that accommodation at the end, but agree with Carol in what a wate. They could easily reconfigure to make it sleep 6-8 people for a holiday let. I take it if one of you were in bed and the other sat at the table, you had you helmets on so you could still hear each other through the Cardo's?

I had actually stopped in that place in Ravenglass years ago on an organised bike tour. The Inn was called the Holly House and 5 bedrooms upstairs. So yes, it is a massive waste of space but quite nice at the same time. The nearby Pennington Hotel bought the pub and turned the whole of the upstairs into an upmarket dining area. That failed to take off, so they turned it back into two holiday rooms. Hadn't thought of using the Cardo's that way 😆

From my understanding, the railway company were getting complaints about bikers parking all over the place, including on the pavement, for bike nights and for use of the local cafes. The company didn't back down in the way bikers usually mean it, they knew what they were doing and got an agreement with the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) that all bikers would pay to park, use only the marked bays, and only have two bikes per bay, basically exactly what the bikers should have been doing in the first place. From this video it looks like some bikers either don't know about that or don't care.
