CODDIWOMPLE on a ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 500
*scroll down for time stamps*
Hello my friends.
I found a new word and couldn't resist using it and I did so in a gateway. Life goals!
(Coddiwomple - To travel purposefully toward an as-yet-unknown destination)
After that I ride Ernie my Royal Enfield Classic 500 around some country lanes starting off near Illand which is a few miles outside Launceston. I bore you with a load of waffle about a weekend in Somerset with Twinks, treat you to another gateway view and offer some advice for next time you follow a farm trailer down a country lane.
I have actually been very close to being squashed by one a couple of years ago. I followed all my own advice eg. keeping distance and trying to make myself visible but, I wasn't spotted and it started reversing towards me. Tooting my horn whilst paddling backwards made no difference and he was out-pacing me. I was a couple of seconds away from dropping the bike and making a run for it when thankfully, the vehicle it was reversing for found a gap to pull in and disaster was averted. Quite a story eh? Just needs some dragons and stuff.
Anyhoo, the video ends at Ley Mill after riding down a dark, damp and slippery lane.
0:00 Gateway intro
0:18 On the road (if you can call it that)
1:54 I bore you with my weekend away
7:16 Views of Bodmin Moor (some priddy)
7:59 Shots of the bike for the thumbnail
8:10 Not a random turn
8:42 Ernie is sounding delicious (well I think so)
9:03 Plusha Bridge
9:44 I've got a bit of advice
11:27 Dark, damp and slippery lane to Ley Mill
Music: Ernie the Royal Enfield Classic 500
