Tackling my Nemesis *** Wrynose & Hardknott Pass***

Hi all, Well......this has been a ride that, in all fairness, I wasn't looking forward to doing. :( This has been my biggest nemesis since I first attempted this back in 2021. Since then I have been lacking confidence in hairpins and narrow roads. Anyway, I decided (maybe brave or stupid?) to give it another go. I take the easier option to ride from Little Langdale and complete the Wrynose firs...

Sell the Honda for a BMW? surly this must have been a massive mistake?
@@mrmoon1482 it was, I'm now back with Honda 👍👍
Just totdat I traded my BMW K1600 GTL for a NT 1100 DCT! Same test drive, I love it. But my reason is mainly that the DCT keeps me on a bike, the hand can't use the clutch any more. But it also is more agile and makes riding fun again.
I guess I will just keep riding my trusty ST1300 until they bring these to the US.
Cracking choice of bike. After the last 2 decades on naked bikes I decided I wanted something with some comfort and distance ability so picked up a lightly used 2022 NT1100 (manual with QS and full Voyage pack) a couple of months back. Being very very different to my previous bikes - this one is physically much larger and heavier - I was a little unsure about my choice of the NT. Yesterday I returned home from an 880 mile trip across the south of England from Essex to Cornwall and back. It absolutely confirmed that the NT is a fantastic machine and 100% the right choice for me. It totally destroyed the long motorway and A road hauls (355 miles both ways, in just over 6 hours each) and whilst I was in Cornwall the NT performed far far better than expected on the tight rural back roads and coastal roads .... it handles way better than it has any right to and was a great laugh to throw about down the lanes I know very very well (I lived in Cornwall for over 30 years). The trip proved to me, without doubt, that the NT1100 is an awesome bike easily capable of taking the rider long distances with no fuss and providing plenty of fun and laughs on the twisty roads when you get to the destination. I hope you come to enjoy yours as much as I do mine 😉
@MotoGoato cheers pal 👍
Didn't fancy another BMW RT 1250 then??
First time seeing your channel. In regards to warmer weather you could move to a more southern latitude, and have many more months of riding . The R1200rt series are great looking bikes, but their still German, and thats why i only ride Jap bikes, cuz there is no downside. " Complexity is the enemy of reliability " No truer words were ever spoken !
Nice colour 👌 I've got a manual with quick shifter on my Gun Metal NT1100. It's 2 years old this November but I've already got 20,000 miles on it! I only ride for pleasure. I'm only in Heswall so will give you a wave when I see you 😅. Enjoy.
@TimmyTookaLook cheers pal 👍
oh...looks good...NT1100 Enjoy your bikelife.
@akiller4536 cheers pal 👍
Your comments at the start re the DCT reflected my Honda dealers comments. I'm in the process of trading my Goldwing for a NT1100. Went to my dealer, looked and rode the DCT model and asked to buy it, the response I got back............ "Don't! you'll regret it in the long run". After a long chat on the topic I got where he was coming from, NZ's twisty, back roads just don't suit DCT and I'd get sick of being in the wrong gear or having to use manual all the time. So, advice taken on board, I ordered a manual NT1100. Looking forward to it arriving. PS: Was quite chuffed my dealer (I've bought other bikes off them) was more interested in my riding style/needs and sold me on a bike more suited than simply what they had sitting on the floor, he could've easily sold me one of the stock DCT's they had, nice to know some dealers still have customer focus.
@anaru5643 cheers pal, good luck with the NT1100. It's a great machine 👍👍
Interesting point about the DCT. You tried it, gave it a fair shout and then decided on the manual option after due consideration. Your experience will be useful to other bikers. I'm certainly sticking to manual. All part of the engagement and fun.
@carleddison7479 Totally agree pal. Cheers 👍👍
Good color! Nicely understated. Not like that horrendous candy blue on the 23 Tigers. I wish you many smooth, trouble free miles!
@@boblynch7535 cheers pal 👍
Glad your at one with the 2 wheeled ride Paul, many happy (and dry) rides ahead buddy!
@@David_Gardener cheers Dave 👍
It’s interesting that you have returned to the manual transmission. Personally I’ve never seen the attraction of automatic transmission and would never have been tempted. Enjoy your new toy.
@@davidmatthews3093 cheers pal 👍
Bon voyages Paul. Thanks for the bike recommendation last year. I have my own NT.

Happy new bike Paul...great colour, loving the end shot by the quayside......😉
@@theloftybiker3090 cheers pal 👍
Congratulations on the new bike Paul. I think you made the right choice with the blue that's the one I'd have gone for. Lets hope she's a keeper, it seems you have been struggling to find the right 'girl' for you 🙂 I can't help but remember the old days you had with the Deauville NT700, can't remember you ever having a bad word to say about her. Looking at her MOT history she's not been shown a lot of love, but she's recently passed her MOT and now showing 62,600 miles. Probably good for another 60K with a bit of love. 😍 RSM8 and lets hope we get some sun soon. Plymouth to Santander best part of £1K now 🙁
@paullee6663 cheers pal 👍
Nice bike, I had the VFR1200 DCT, nothing wrong with DCT apart from adding weight to the bike. One thing I did notice was no tingling in the left hand when I went for a manual bike, could it be a form of cramp because your hand isn’t doing much ? I got the impression you’d lost faith in the last one, better luck this time.
@colinbarber9324 cheers pal 👍
Hi Paul best of luck with the new bike hopefully no more faults just happy riding.
@jamesb2876 cheers pal 👍
Looking good Paul. Hope this one behaves😉. See it at NewBroom. Cheers Dave
@@davidblundell3629 cheers pal 👍
I've always liked Honday. Unfortunately our local Honda dealer in South Wales is rubbish and that's be polite 😂😂
@@richardgiles2484 🤣🤣
Really nice looking in the denim blue! Did it come with a quick shifter Paul? If not highly recommend fitting one, game changer! I bought my 6 month old iridium grey model last Feb, in 48 years of biking it is up there (if not top) with the best bikes I've owned, I really hope you settle with this one Paul and you have miles of enjoyment 😊
@Hinckley_Biker cheers pal, yeah have quick shifter 👍👍
Why a game changer? What real difference does it make in a road bike?
@@davidmatthews3093 When the bike came to me it didn't have a quick shifter, I purchased one from Honda and fitted it, the gear change is now just a tap on the lever, so nice in traffic not constantly de-clutching, more comfortable for a pillion too as the gear change is smoother, for me a quick shifter any day over the DCT, have you rode with a QS? If so what did you think?
What a cracker Paul,top colour too,blimey mate dont your live in a beautiful part of the country 😉😉 Fingers X you have better luck with this one mate🤞👍 Ride Safe Mr B 🤘
Well, I hope you've all had a nice winter 😂😂😂 good to see ya semi back into editing vids. I'm tranna get mi sen back behind the PC. 👍👍👍👍

@Rinkydink73274 I was for a while but as time went on I missed the clutch control. 👍👍
Very Smart Paul, Looks goregeous just like you,,, XXX ;)😀
@@battsonbikes1919 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy new bike Paul. Never tried a DCT as the manual is more appealing tbh. All the best
@@johna6968 This one is a manual, I tried DCT, missed my clutch 🤣🤣
It looks lovely Paul. I love the colour coordination with the top box too. Where was that you stopped to show us the bike?
@OldWhistler7743 Thanks Pal, West Kirby Marina 👍
@@paulgriffiths6404 Thanks. It looks really nice there.
Hi Paul, Congratulations on your new purchase and I'm sure you are going to enjoy it. I recall having a test ride on a VFR1200dct (Bill Smiths) and for the exact same reason I never went for the auto I went for an manual. I recall it changing down on the A534, when I did not want it too and hence, I went for the manual.
@rd250dx1978 cheers pal 👍
Very well wear Paul. Miles of smiles ahead for you. Lovely colour too
@@johnhutchinson2500 cheers pal 👍
Well done Paul. i have a manual in black, would have gone for that blue, very nice 👍 best bike i have ever had. Take care and enjoy.

@@stevef8763 cheers pal 👍
Best of luck with the new wheels Paul. I’m sure this one will serve you well. It’s a real Beaut!!!
@@Steo-The-Red cheers pal 👍
I agree with you on the DCT part. Had a nc750x with dct for 2 months, it was always in what i found to be the wrong gear. Usually much too high. Shifting weirdly in corners, sometimes going up/down/up/down when u are not keeping a constant speed, and in general it really wasnt for me. Not saying dct is bad but it certainly has flaws.
@Kevin97587 cheers pal 👍
I had a DCT version of the NC750X. It was not new but very low miles. I loved the DCT but it had a habit of sticking in 6th gear. I used to have to stop the bike, hold the front brake on hard, and rock the bike forwards and backwards to clunk it back down through the gearbox. Several bikes later I bought another NC750X as I did enjoy the type of bike the NC was, but this time I got a manual version and I love it. The fuel economy blows me away. On a recent 150 mile trip to Dorset I sat at exactly 60mph all the way and it returned 108.4 mpg. Staggering. Even 'making progress' on the return journey it managed 75mpg (and I really was 'making progress')..
Congrats and wish you many happy kilometers :)
@hbor77 cheers pal 👍
Hi Paul. Stunning bike ..you could have had some fun with this BY not mentioning anything till a small tour video with Ray (SEE WHO NOTICED) 😅 enjoy mate old dave (Sunderland)....
@davidsanderson1891 Cheers Dave
I hope you have good times on your new bike.
@paulabraham8724 Cheers Paul
does it have a quick shifter?
@@AK-xu1fx Yeah
I have this one Voyager Pack was free with the 2023 model. Last one was only in available in White really wanted Red but that's 2024 new release model. All in all saved £1500. One thing I didn't like was the very short front mudguard. So I got the longer one in White from SportsBike Shop £130 black is £65 White looks really good. SatNav it has Carplay.
@marcus577 cheers pal 👍
Well done my son! That terrifying switch back on the way down! I did exactly what you did. Momentary over think-there’s no margin for error-then got the bike stopped-not necessarily a good thing-then ease it round on the brake til it’s pointing in the right direction and away! Good for you. Pleased I did it but no interest in going back 😅
Cheers pal 👍
Well done paul
Cheers pal 👍
Just bought a 700 Deauville, a very nice bike, I came from an NTV650 Revere that felt a bit more sporty with the pegs raked back a bit, the Deauville is more upright as you said. Practical, comfortable, not too tall or heavy and enough power. Good review mate.👍
Cheers pal 👍
Thought you were going to breakout into a rendition of ‘ G Glitters’ 🙈 Good to be Back during the Intro … Good to see you both out together again 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂
28:25 .... build up speed, 40 - 50 mph should do it, as you approach that corner simply lock the back brake, get the rear wheel sliding and back the beast in sideways .. then just power out the other side ................. In my dreams thats how I'd do ..... In reality I'd do it the same way you did .. or panic and drop the bike 😂🤣 Cracking work on conquering your fears, Sir 👍
Cheers pal 👍 thanks for watching 👍👍
Great to see you both back out on the bikes again Paul. Looking forward to following your adventures and banter along the way.
Thanks 👍
Great one guys.
