General geek VLOG about Motorcycling and the life that comes with it.. Well after 20 years away from my first NSR125 I took my DAS. So I'm trying to apply a simple approach to motorcycle issues and topics in a typical Yorkshire way. I'm also a bit of a geek with a big love for star wars and Marvel etc(so look out for the odd cameo). I attend and work at comic cons.

Just a quick guide on how I do a quick clean of my rear brakes, these tips apply to any brakes once you have the caliper off. Some may do it differently, but this is good for a clean. You don't have to re-lube the piston but it doesn't hurt to help it seat back in and preserve the seals.

Here is part 2 of our recent trip. I do apologise for the few recordings with bugs stuck on, it was very warm so loads of them. Also, I know the handheld footage isn't great, something I will look at fixing. But I hope you like the roads, some inspiration to visit Scotland.

such a sensible bike for a 1000cc
Until 7000 rpm lol
what a lovely little town.
I've seen the jetski at some of the Lincolnshire Bike Nights

Then add your advice..This is a normal chain clean process
После дождя смазать немного трансмиссионным маслом и протереть
WD40 would of been cheaper.
Its not ideal for these types of chains really, but is ok for a quick clean. :)
Nothing like it used to be sadly.
I do agree.
@@jedigeekbiker I remember when the roundabout on the A15 used to be absolutely rammed. What went wrong I wonder?
@@stevedriver1376 Alot didnt like it being midweek, Saturday a lot better
@@jedigeekbiker good theory, but it was originally on a Weds night.
@@stevedriver1376 Ive no idea then lol
Nice one, hard to beat making your own route.
Thankyou
Nice video - not too much chatter. Thanks enjoyed watching.
great feedback thanks
Awesome❤❤❤
Hey youx
I usually go every year. Missed it. Did they swap the day
They have moved it back to a Wednesday which has upset a few people. Harder for a lot to visit
I went to Cassington bike night (last Monday in June). There were roughly 10,000 bikes there. Awesome. Alas Barton is a touch too far for me.
We will have to look that up for next year cheers
@@jedigeekbiker You should. I have never seen so many bikes, and a great atmosphere too....Cassington is just outside Oxford.
Nice video. The rest has been ruined by the constant roadworks trying to solve the landslide issues. Eventually I think it will be covered and never be the same again. Ride safe.
Thankyou, I agree
Have an 03 myself, do you know what make that luggage rail is?
Im sorry ive no idea.
Can you remove the air filter if someone is holding tank up without disconnecting pipes.
Yes its a bit fiddly but can be done, best to still remove breather pipes etc for more height
Beautiful country and lovely roads. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Canada!
Thankyou, part 2 will go live next week
Totally understand you did warn us of cutting it short thanks for a great vid Ash plus I now know all about the location which we shall ride to A
That was crafty one min your on the back road to Crickhowell alongside the Usk ! Next second you are along side the river wye ( looked identical )turning off to Crickadawn but it’s 30 mins away had me fooled as I lived near crickhowell know the road well and didn’t know the Crickadawn church, Ash ,,
ah sorry lol. I never know how much road video is to much so cut some out :)
Great Video. With the Motul 10w oil you will find that the re-bound will have to be backed off from what it was set at, just while the fork oil is new. Then, as it slowly degrades it behaves like a 7.5w and lower.
Yeah Ive used it for years now, its a great oil and suits my weight etc
I hope that it is enough to disconnect the electrical part and those two hoses to get to the air filter. What do you think? The air filter box has just two bolts.
I never removed the box sorry
@@jedigeekbiker I had in mind just to take out the air filter. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace it comes out without any hassle
@@jedigeekbiker I see. So, there is enough space to pull it out without completely taking off the fuel tank?
@@RRRRefuelRideRace Yeah, I just prop up the tank but once you've undone the tank you may as well lift it off, breather pipe and a fuel pipe.
I used to stop there when going to Skegness.
Alot do, its a nice stop
It is still very complicated for a beginner, but still helpful.
Yeah I agree.
that route used to be fun before the cameras
The cameras only cover a small part and it turns out were never turned on.. weird
Nice to watch you break a few speed limits. Proper biker. 😀
Unusual thing to say but my grandad was in that film George hilsdon 😊
Thats brilliant
The roads in Wales look's a lot better than in England.
some were terrible but most were great
Nice video.Quick question,do you have to pay for parking at the sea view.Thanks
No not for bikes.
Very nice video, short and clear
26:07 You should have stopped here for a burger or a breakfast bap...gorgeous food! One of my regular stops on a spin from home (Llanelli).
Hey, well we may be there this weekend so will do that if its open, thankyou.
5:20 Why not just use a piece of foam or a rolled up sock etc. under the bungee? Much faster, easier, no fannying around with removing after...and it's free!
Yeah this was far from what I expected. On the last trip to a wet north wales I bought a big rucksack instead and found it much better. That film stuff is rubbish.
Thanks for the clear review. 👍
Hi Do you have a gpx file for this trip please?
Im sorry no but will see if I can in future, I just use my phone.. will that create a px
@@jedigeekbiker it’s ok I have seen that you set off from Bawtry which is very close to me in Worksop 😝 Brilliant video 👍
@@adriangill5504 Thankyou.. We went via Ollerton, then derby, burton upon Trent, brew stop then across via telford then into wales. I just put Llandovery in google then selected no Mways. was a nice run and it avoided the town centers. Have fun
@@jedigeekbiker brilliant thanks I am going to do the same in April and booked a hotel just outside neath to use as a base
@@adriangill5504 awesome fun buddy
Its now Jan 2024 & average speed cameras have now been fitted, what a bloody shame,spoiled by a few, affected by many.
I saw those, I hope they dont go to far, although a lot of the roads from there to Louth are 50 already.
Bro can you please help? After i removed the tank and restored it, when i try to put it back in, there are 2 hoses from the carbs that i dont know what to do with them. 1 is coming from the second carb and 1 from the fourth carb, are they for vacuum or overflow? Or should i connect them somewhere?
They should go to the air box I think. the 2 pipes fro the tank are breather hoses and wont be going to carbs. I never had my air box off just the tank and the 2 pipes just run to the bottom of the bike
Im just imagining all of these guys to team up and start a fake police company like metro state state
Proven machines. In blue it looks very nice. Got my like here. Drop by mate, you may like my content. :)
Are you shure that this one is a 650? The carb-engines used to be 600 cc and the fuel injectet 650. Since your bike has carbs it must be a 600, right?
This was certainly a 650, I have the manual covering this and the 600 and also bought many parts from fowlers. they changed to injection for the 2007 model
@@jedigeekbiker Interesting. I always thought that they changed to 650 with the injection-model and that all carb engines used to be 600cc - just like Suzuki did with the 1200 and the 1250.
@@PeterBachmayer-ProDrummer yeah does seem daft but I'm sure they had a good reason or so they thought haha
Many thanks for this.
good of you jediman participate in this thing...i watched saffy sprocket otherday do it...good video..
Thanks buddy
The other thing you can do when you spot a car waiting is get your weave on and attract attention to yourself. A bike approaching a junction perfectly straight presents a small silhouette. The eye is drawn to something weaving. I've seen drivers about to pull out visibly do a double-take because of the weave. I've also seen older drivers look straight through me so trust no-one !
Thats a great point @bloodyhell451 now you mention it there is a science behind that isn't there. how the brain goes into auto etc. We beep a lot and that really snaps the necks of those looking down or the other way about to just go. thanks for that tip..
Thank you. I have a way better picture of how big 7 liters are now. The retailer's websites don't really show that.
I agree, the product photos on their own don't really give a real idea of size.. glad you found it useful..
JGB, It never hurts to repeat safety tips. Although I'm in my mid 70s, I still go out for pleasure rides on my R.E. Meteor 350 in the country lanes of Hampshire (UK). I have an analogy to repeating safety tips and it relates to exercising with weights in the gym.... a friendly instructor spots you doing an exercise with sloppy technique and whispers some advice about posture (etc) in your ear. You already knew what he told you but, being on 'auto-pilot' you had slipped into bad ways. Being advised about technique in the gym can prevent you getting a strained muscle. Safety reminders for riding on two wheels can help minimse the risk of serious injury, or heaven forbid ... worse. (That old saying of 'familiarity breeds contempt' can relate to our two-wheeled adventures too). : - }
Hello, thanks for such a nice detailed comment. Its also amazing your still out in your 70's, I really hope I will be. And your so right, the gym analogy is perfect too. Kind of fits with my other hobby and job so makes sense. If even 1 person sees this and evades a car pulling out then Job done.. safe riding and thanks again.
Another route I do often is when I leave the Owls Nest I head towards Abercraf, and use the Old Trecastle road. Lovely roads and scenery that way too as you ride through the Beacons, it's about 12 miles of stunning scenery.
Nice one, we are heading to north wales at some point. Any tips for up there, around Colwyn?
@@jedigeekbiker I live in Swansea so not sure about the North. However a few years ago we travelled from Swansea to Port Meirion (where the Prisoner TV series was filmed) on a Versys 650 2 up. We went Swansea, Aberystwyth and followed the coast road to Machynlleth, then onto there. Am sure we went through the Mach loop where the military fly their aircraft. Then again, anywhere in Wales we have stunning scenery and twisties :)
@@mikebelton1677 It is beautiful. I think we may venture to the mach loop. Were staying at Colwyn and having a blast around Snowdon. Just hope its dry in Sept.
Great trip.
Thankyou
I moved from Bristol to just south of the Brecons 5 years ago. I know those roads well. For anyone thinking of doing them, be aware that the police know them well too! Loads of speed limits in place now, and all they have to do is listen for a race can wailing, so that they can point their camera at the bend you are just about to come howling around. Weekdays most of the traffic/tourists are not there.
Yep apparently the police are on adventure bikes too. unmarked,, but you do have a wonderful home.
Brilliant bit of kit. Wanted one for ages but couldn't find one that I wanted with the size etc. I've only got a 96 cb500 so not much room lol. But yeah this bag is awesome. Solid as a rock on my tank! Worth every penny.
very true buddy, thankyou
Great video! I'm heading to Wales with a bunch of fellow Soft Southerners in June, so this is inspiring 👍
Thats great thankyou
It looks really nice around that area, glad you had a nice time.
homie! thanks!very beautiful trip~
Thankyou very much :)

March '19, I had no bike Kawasaki, for 27 years, got a fuel inj.
