After lots of requests I've now opened a "Buy Me A Coffee" page buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent (I wanted a "Buy Me A Pork Pie" page, but the option wasn't there 🙂) Many thanks to you all,

Whatever direction your videos take, you make the viewer always wanting more Kevin. Glad you're back! 👍😀

Let's go motoring. I'm along for the ride! Whether by land or by sea, I'll travel along with CHG....virtually.

I've been looking forward to this, thanks for taking us along on the journey Kevin!

It was a great adventure and unlike narrowboat my husband enjoyed watching too he loves motorcycles... As usual it was like we were riding on the bike with you happy to see you back hi from Wishkah maybe you could drive down highway 101 from Washington to California and pass by our house one day since you are still a young man

Wow!! Absolutely cracking first video Kevin, thank you. Thats the best half an hour of telly we've had in ages. Stunning scenery but like you said, there are few words to describe the beauty in reality. So chuffed for you that you finally got to do this trip. Must add, you couldn't cram much more onto your bike, i would put my back out trying to throw my leg over the seat inbetween all that gear. Thanks again Kevin. This season of CHG looks to be something special, then again, they always are. All the best Kevin, Floss & Jan.

Eeeeek! Did you say we are going 60 MPH? This is the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm a lady on the down side of 70 , enjoying the ride from my rocking chair. I also enjoy seeing you and Aslyn.😊❤😂

Thanks, CHG. Please support our guy, if you can. Two dollars American ain't much, but I try to make a habit of it. Much love to everyone!

Wow, wow, wow! Love this! Thanks for taking us along!

Absolutely LOVE the intro music….a la Allman Brothers!

Welcome Back Kevin! We've missed you!

Hi Kevin. Arran is oft referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature', due to it's varied landscape refecting the mainland

It's been many years since I lived in Scotland, and your video brought it all back with tears in my eyes. I'm excited to see places I wasn't able to visit, especially Shetland. Thank you for taking us along with you.

Great trip!!! Reason for the 20 mph is so people will do 30. Leave it at 30 and they do 40! Have a great time, I know I am.

New Country House Gent drinking game…..see sheep in the shot, have a shot of Scottish whiskey!!!

I’m rather impressed with the advancements in gps tech that they’ve actually created a scenic route algorithm. Takes me back to my college days and having to learn the math behind calculating shortest routes.

Hi Kevin, really enjoyed the vid. It did take me back to the 1970's when myself and three friends did a tour very similar to yours, but back then no sat nav and many numb bums!, our bikes were Triumphs, Enfields, and Honda's. Never forgotten it, and yes we did get lost several times but all part of the fun, take care.

Fabulous! Beautiful countryside. If I had one word to describe it, I'd use the same word you used from season 1 of Travels by Narrowboat. "Amazing." I'm so looking forward to more episodes. I really love the intro as well.

Beautiful scenery! I've only ever ridden on the back of a motorcycle, short distances, so I can't imagine what it's like to travel that way. I think my concern would be traveling in bad weather. At least in a vehicle you've got shelter. But when the weather is fine, it must be marvelous! Very much like the opening music, nice and bluesy. Reminds me of the Allman Brothers. And certainly "Midnight Rider" fits here fairly well 😁 🎶.

Thanks! Let's support Kevin. The trip couldn't be cheap, and he invested in great cameras and sound equipment.

Thanks Kevin, for taking us along on this beautiful motorcycle tour of the fantastic Scottish Islands. Take care and all the best. Stevie

LOVE the new music...twangy and bluesy. Good job!

Wonderful, Kevin. Absolutely aces. Yours is one of the best channels on all of KZfaq. Your production skills are really pro-style now. How far you've come. Congratulations...thank you for sharing your envious life.

Looking forward to this! Great to see you Kevin!

Hi Kevin.. I have been looking forward to your trips on your bike. Has your concept of time change, now you are traveling faster than 4 mph . Safe travels. Kind regards Kevin Vanstone

So good to have you back. Can’t wait to see those beautiful islands.

Spent a lot of time around Largs! Thought I recognized the bay! Had business in Greenock. Beautiful country, enjoy CHG!

Wonderful clarity on video and audio! Beautiful blooming flowers and trees and church in Fairlie. Looking forward to boarding the ferry in the next episode!

Kevin, I am in complete awe of your beautiful documentary-but-more! Scotland is absolutely exquisite. I envy you absorbing this wonder all around you, and I am so grateful a small-town South Carolina, USA, person can see such a wonder with a good friend, not in a boring documentary. Cheers, my Friend! Can barely wait for the next edition!

I'm so happy this adventure is starting. Always wanted to go but probably never will. Thanks Kevin.

Done Scotland many times on bike , here now with family ( in car ) doing highlands , but I will watch this video when I get home and we will do the islands next year. Thank you

Where ever you go or what you film we will be here to watch it, looking forward to the rest of the series.

What an epic adventure, thanks for letting us tag along, Kevin!:)

It’s going to be GOOD!!! Actually it is good, I am going to be with you all the way.

Still got the 'Travels by Narrow boat' vibe, but moving much faster. Love it!

It’s everything you said it would be. I’m in love with the big sky views. Awesome❤️

Excellent camera and sound first class keep them coming Kevin

Absolutely joyous Kevin , lucky lucky man, I hope one day I can follow in your footsteps.All the best Stuart

welcome back Kevin. Based on the brief introduction to the route and the edited part one, it is certainly very interesting already. Looking forward to see the rest of travel recordings from a bike!

Looking forward to your adventures to some places Ive been and others on my to do list

Really enjoyed this, all about getting out there and doing it! Motorcycles are perfect for this, looking forward to seeing the next one.

I'm glad to see you again. Did you name your bike? I do miss Aslan, but im looking forward to your trip through Scotland. It's one of the most beautiful places. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels and see you soon, CHG. Tx

I was thinking how lucky that you have all the old narrow roadways. We have back roads and sometimes not sealed on those but you always take those on a bike because as you say much more interesting. When riding the US you use the interstates to get to some area more quickly but mostly boring, once off them it becomes much more intimate and personal with the environment. In NZ we have winding roads but usually two way although on the West Coast of the South Island we have one way rail/bridge crossings which are fun. Looking forward to the next update.

Could hardly wait to see your new cycle series of Scotland. Not disappointed either. Such beautiful scenery. My, those roads are sure narrow. Hope you don't go around a corner and find sheep or cattle in the road. Travel safe out there and looking forward to next video.

Nice, enjoying this, and nice editing with the maps er google earth whatever, 👍🏻 by the way haircut looks good!

I'd love to go over there with my '09 Street Bob. May not be the best bike for the travels, but I'd be there riding and enjoying it.

Thoroughly enjoyed that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can't wait for the next one. A true free spirit and adventurer, love it 😀

Yes Kevin, great start and I am so looking forward to the journey. The bike sounds good, looks a smooth ride although its going to take me some time to adjust to CHG traveling and filming above 3mph....

Thanks for the ride along.

Just subscribed after watching most of the first video on lunch break at work. Really looking forward to seeing your journey around the Isles. I'm from Skye myself currently in Durham. You missed a wee treat going to Mallaig...Although the coastal route you took is lovely if you stayed on main road to Skye ( A87 ) you could have took the road to Glenelg ( off at Glenshiel, chocolate shop/cafe ) and used the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world..operates from Easter to October. Views spectacular ( if the weather is kind ) . Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.

Thank you Kevin. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs. I guess biking is similar to the narrow boating as you need to look ahead and allow for others. The sun on the scenery and the blue see was just glorious.

Oh my! This is going to be wonderful and you are correct...there aren't enough superlatives to describe Scotland and its people. My family is from Greenock and we made many a summer day trips to Largs. I'm now in Virginia, please be sure to show us a tasty fish supper! Thank you for all your efforts in putting this together for us.

So the journey begins, at long last. This is going to be...Enchanting, breath taking, exquisite, elegant, stunning. To mention just a few words of expression. Drive safely Kevin. 🖖🏍⛴Enjoy the trip.

Didn't realize how much I've missed your videos until this episode. Your videos are very relaxing and bring me a feeling of peace with all the beautiful scenery and your calming voice and narrative. The last time I drove around the English countryside, I had to use a road atlas. I always got to where I wanted to go, but GPS is a beautiful thing compared to the old-fashioned way.

Wow I'm off Aslan and now I'm on a mot' a' bike heading through Scotland.. so great CHG!! What an adventure~

Yes, I know this route, did it on my bicycle. Ull a pool, other than that, excellent pronunciation

As someone who has traveled very little in my 76 years, I so look forward to these travels with you~ Thank you so very much!

cool vid on your channel out on the bike keep up the good vids thanks lee

Thanks so much! Very beautiful and exciting! What a treat!

I used to ride my bike on roads that went in the general direction I wanted to go, miss that. found all manner of interesting places taking the side roads, even did that on my company truck on the way home from out of town assignments. nice haircut by the way 🤣 Brilliant countryside, love it thanks for sharing.

Good to see you again

Kello Kev, I think I mentioned this the other day but I disremember. This regards the other show on YT here by the name of 'Back Waters and Back Roads'.... One fellow, one beagle, and one beagle barge do the Great Loop. (Also an intercontinental 150cc motor scooter.) I never even knew such a thing existed... Going from beyond the Great Lakes down to Florida and back up the NE coast of the American colonies in his version of Aslan....a shanty boat. We're kinda hooked on that show....the reason being that we were hooked on YOUR show first and since the first episode. Had it not been that we have followed you from day 1 until today we prolly would not have looked at that other show twice. Excepting the beagle, Wavy Gravy, the Kev Show and the Brenton Show are estranged carbon copies...sort of. I write to mention this to you and my viewing club members from Jolly Ol' to inform that there is....another. Not to say what you''ll see is totally representative of the good old USA...bekez river towns ain't like real life anywhere...really.... But it's fun anyway. Done my bit for intergalactic relations. Now it's off to sleep and perchance to dream of pork pies.

Kevin, you look like you have lost some weight, brother. I, too, have to lose some. Tell me what the secret is. As always, thank you for sharing these beautiful scenes with us all. Cheers from sunny Puerto Rico.

i have toured Scotland a few tines and its a Wow around every corner.

Just 'bonza' sights. I hope you have handwarming on the bike though. Thanks for sharing the ride, much appreciated.

Try Golf Clubs for amazing, cheap, home cooked food all over Scotland. They aren't the snobby places they are in England,very friendly and welcoming. Also Scottish Y.H.A.accommodation is great for bikers. I bet you wish you'd stocked up on tucker before Arran too, Co-Ops are a feckin fortune.🙊

Thanks for a tour of my old haunts, especially Largs ( was at school there) your journey via Fairlie moor and the roads along the high road. Glasgow street was the flat street with the buildings leading to the to the ferry. Have spent many a year living in the area, catching the larger ferry Hebridean Isles( rust bucket being fixed, back in August?) and earlier ones to go to Brodick. Brilliant photography and commentary en route, Will be avidly following you up north, Safe travels.

Places I have never been and unlkely to go now at my age and state of health. Like another continent. Quite extraordinary. Big horizons!. This is great, I am with you on the journey.

Fab stuff, mate. You'll find there's nothing as depressing as Scottish housing lol.

Nice one Kevin! As a Scot I'd say your pronunciation of place names is pretty good for a Sasenach! 😆 my only correction being the U in Ullapool is as in UP not FULL. Looks like it's going to be a great trip...very jealous.

Kevin, My wife and I noticed you are looking pretty trim these days good on you, you mod/rocker. The kid is alright!

I met Sam Walton in Tyler Tx. It was before the great expansion. We were fixing fence when a old Ford pickup pulled up. It had a livestock rack in the back and you could not see out of the passenger window because the newspapers were stacked so high in the seat. An old man got out and asked if we needed help repairing the fence. We talked for a while and then he drove off. My cousin turned to me and asked if I knew who that was and I had no idea. He said it was Sam Walton of Walmart fame but I was not impressed because I had never heard of or had been in a Walmart. I was from South Dakota. We finally got a Walmart in 1990 in Spearfish S.D. and that was the first one I ever stepped into 10 years after meeting the man.

Yay! You're back and a new intro jingle to boot! This is gonna be a great trip! In the summer here in Seattle area the ferries to the islands are loaded with bikers. Although I will have to get used to you driving on the other side of the road 😆-Cheers from Seattle!

Brilliant fantastic loved watching the camera angles were spot on and scenery makes me want to ride up there. I've no idea how I've missed these video for a month lol. Great to see you out and about. Thanks kev for the trip 👍 All the best Kev the brinklow kayaker

Travels by motorcycle rather than travels by narrow boat great stuff.

You look healthier, happier, and more content than ever. Mazel tov!

This is going to be a very excellent series !! Thanks Kevin

Super. Makes me want to visit.

I haven’t watched the video yet,but it’s good to see your post !

Nice job on the filming and commentary. As you say, stunning scenery

Smashing video Kevin going to see lots of interesting places ride safely 🏍️😊👍

Wow!!! Looking forward to this trip. Cheers, Les and Anne on Glendyne

Wow! I bet your nerves and excited. Stay safe Kevin. And thanks for sharing.

viewing here in Maine, USA and lovin' every minute of it.....thanks Kevin! Going to Scotland for 2 weeks soon and can't wait!!

Hi Kevin. A brilliant start to the trip. The audio and video were really clear. Can’t wait to see the trip across these different islands. Take care. Nick

A nice vlog from a Sassenach abroad!

Just found your channel and enjoyed Ep 1. of your island hopping trip and now I'm looking forward to the whole tour. So refreshing to have a video without annoying music!

Worth waiting for Kevin, that's an ambitious itinerary you've set yourself...looking forward to the big mountains of Arran next week. Meanwhile I'm rewatching episode 1!

Excellent Kevin and superb filming!! Welcome back!

Beautiful skies and landscape...looking forward to sharing this journey!!

You are so good at this Kevin well done loved it 👏

Thanks Kevin, will look forward to travelling along with you

Lulling me off to sleep with all the twists and turns 😅😴...Great video Kevin...love Scotland

Absolutely stunning scenery! I don’t ride the ferry much these days as the fare currently sits at $30 ish for a 15 minute ride w/car to an island near me (Northwest U.S). Less for a motorbike ($15) Looking forward to next episode! Your film skills just keep getting better!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Top drawer, Kevin-really, brilliant road trip content! Glad you were able to shake off the nervousness & discover that when one is a natural, it all just falls to hand😁. We're riding shotgun on this Caledonian journey-sticking with you through every twisty course, mile after mile🛣! Cheers.

I watched on TV last night. Awesome job! You have outdone yourself! You have raised the bar for touring videos.

Turned the TV on tonight and there you were! I'll be following along, I can see through you things that I'll never get to see. Thank you!

Cool filming - it works as well as TBN and everything comes across smooth and clear. Thank you for getting me through to the end of week 2 with broken collar bone and no cycling.

Awesome trip you are making. I'm so excited that you're taking us along
