@@DODO-vy6sf I suppose what you do with your cabin is your business but it wouldn’t be an official option via the ferry company. This would be something you’d have to arrange personally with someone, and then your compromising the luxury of a private cabin by having a stranger in there, your then back in the business of being in a shared dorm style accommodation. Hope this helps 👍

@@MotoCurmudgeon yes lithium are lighter and can be drained to much higher percentages. Butto be honest a regular lead acid is fine as you say. My battery was7 years old and had been out in all weathers, so it had done a fair enough job. I’d maybe switch to lithium for my campervan leisure batteries to enable more drainage and weight saving, but not really necessary or fussy when it comes to the bike etc, these are absolutely fine.👍

@@1990-t1j yes it’s the same on the street twin. Only a single bolt and a clip to move it sufficiently out the way

👍

Agreed.

Cabin is always so much better that’s for sure. Happy travels

@@MotoCurmudgeon yeas there’s always trips in the pipeline. Unfortunately though my trips get far less views than products I review (something to do with algorithms). Nothing concrete yet, but it will certainly feature 👍

@@Oelala879 hi. Many thanks is for the kind words of support. I haven’t written my itinerary down but it you look at the videos on the playlist I tell you where I am in each episode and the journey I did. In terms of the “youths”!you will find Ha Giang is absolutely teaming with easy riders and blasting out music at every scenic coffee shop you find. Definitely see a couple of bits in ha Giang it’s stunning but definitely overshadowed by the scooters everywhere. We made out way from Hanoi north and east stoping at ba bae lake then up towards the Ban Gioc waterfall on the north east and the Chinese border. We did about 150- 200km per day along the border and the very north, until we dropped down to make our way towards the cave in son la, and the dinosaur backbone in ta Xau. With one day to get back to Hanoi which was a killer, but wanted to squeeze as much as we could out of the trip

@@ToniReviews Thank you, I'll have another watch through the videos. The first days of my trip planning already looked very similar to yours, but wasn't sure how much time to spend at Ha Giang. I think I'll do as you have done, keep it short and push on to the regions to the west. I've got 11 riding days + 2 buffer, so I'll have a look how ta xau and son la fit in. Thanks again, great work on this video series.

Fully melt the wax so it’s able to penetrate into the canvas of the garment 👍

@@steve7956 no problem. Hope you found this useful 👍

Thanks for sharing this information and glad you found it interesting. The post 22 information is very interesting and probably a big turn off to owners. Thanks for this 👍

@@ToniReviews Motone make one to suit as well so not impossible just not as easy as previous models.

My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful 👍

@@robiker416B they’re a very simple and easy motorbike when it comes to handling. So light and nimble but with some enjoyable low end grunt, that’s what I love most. Personally I’m not a fan of the more modern twists, I actually really like the more retro styling. Saying that I took a lot of the silver bits and things like lights, levers, shocks, exhaust etc and I’ve modified all those bits myself. They’re great bikes for modifying as there’s loads of bits available out there. Not sure if you can get an ex pipe for the later models? I’ve not looked into that, but to be fair the sound was the only noticeable difference, and you can do that with a nice set of pipes. I’d say go for a test ride and see what you think. At one point I was considering the speed twin, but the overly modern styling put me off . Let me know what you think after the test ride I’d be interested to hear 👍

@@robiker416B many thanks! I do try and give an honest owner’s perspective and hope this helps others if making a decision 👍

@@ToniReviews love your vibe, true self, no masks 😀

Wow a Pom / No. love to hear how far these videos reach. Yes I sold the sat nav as soon as I got back to the uk. Really did not feel it was worth the money or the effort. There are so many good apps out there that far outweigh the clunky old sat nav’s. I used sygic on a small European trip and it was outstanding, so the pro version I reckon will be amazing. I think phones and apps do an amazing job and the variety out there is just awesome. I recently used an app called REVER, to take the odd twisty route home when riding, and whilst it definitely has some drawbacks, some of the roads it chose, took me on some amazing little routes I’d never before explored. Good luck with the app I think the pro version will be more than capable and far outweigh a Tom Tom. Let me know how you get on!

Update: I purchased the premium Sygic the day I watched your review and now a month later I am very happy with the app. Used multiple times now both in a car and on my bike. I recommend using the Quadlock charging unit along with a vibration dampener. The fixed speed camera function worked well with plenty of notice. Look forward to the future rides with clear concise instructions. Thanks again Toni. Shiny side up, go well. Lance.

You aren’t allowed to stay in the van. All the levels with vehicles on are locked so you can’t access vehicles whilst sailing. This is to prevent injury whilst at sea as the sea can’t get very rough and cars can move or worse. This is just one of the reasons you can’t stay in your campervan

@ToniReviews oh okay that makes sense it puzzled me as to why you would choose a single seat for 33hours over ur own bed 🤣

@@thefearofaflatplanet glad you found this helpful. Also a handy reminder I need to relax my jacket again 👍😁

Totally plausible and highly probable. Thanks for sharing

It doesn’t come with a throttle, but I purchased one from Amazon for under £20 and it can be used completely throttle alone if you want (providing super 73 don’t change the app) which is the case with any app based bike

Thanks for the feedback. I agree I love a shoei helmet. The comfor, for, design aesthetic, but this just isn’t worth the hefty price tag. I much prefer my ex zero. I rarely wear the glamster at all

Thanks for sharing, very helpful info 👍

@@matusknives 😂

Part of owning and modifying a bike is definitely aesthetics

I had Heidenau k60's on my klr650 but now have motoz tractionator GPS's which give superior road handling ability and are just as long lasting and also have a gnarly appearance.

@@Mid-Knife-Crisis69 glad you found it useful 👍 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

I think that’s why most people found the bench seats a better option

@@omega_profile1 hi. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for the comments. Very interesting I may try these pads on my next brake pad change. Definitely the fluid makes a massive difference 👍 thanks for sharing

@@emir8942 hi. It doesn’t have perforated padding but there would be space to house intercom speakers inside 👍

Yep its pretty much done. Sorry for the delay, but kife has been extremely hectic with work. Its all shot and almost edited I jyst wated to add some finsihinng touches. Should hopefully be out in the next 2 weeks . Sorry for the delay and thanks for the interest :)

@@michaelcoates7068 not had this issue or heard of this. Sounds like potentially a problem with the pipe. Just check it’s not rubbing against anything or touching anything hot, or compromised in anyway. My wiring loom on the headstock was getting chopped, which was a common fault for the model and year. It’s had a recall. Maybe check the model and year of the bike to double check if it’s something that happened for that year of bike. I know they changed the wiring loom issue after the recall on my batch.

Cheers toni for that ill look in to it thanks ​@ToniReviews

I’ve not actually tried the snow foam version. I think most of these cleaners do contain quite harsh, but personally I haven’t tried that particular product.

Thanks so much. The adventure was amazing and the videos took ages to edit so I’m glad you enjoyed them and found it helpful. The bamboo raft is on the DT217 crossing from Cao Bang into Ha Giang. You cross the song nho que river. Hope this helps .

@@ToniReviews Thank you so much. That really helps. Have more adventures. Cheers!

@@daviddoyle5291 many thanks for the comments. I’ve also done a fair bit of travelling in my time. I’ve been to quite a few far flung corners of the earth and generally like to embed myself in the culture and get around as the locals do. There’s definitely worse ways to travel. Not having a designated cabin isn’t really all that bad, and if travelling alone and on a budget it’s definitely a solution for anyone looking to save. Again if travelling in a camper van, once you pull off the ferry you have the luxury to pull up and have a kip whenever you fancy. The video is designed to help people who may be on a budget and what to expect if they go for the seat only option.

I would have loved to have slept in my van. I actually went down to the lower car deck where I was parked at one point to get something from the van but the doors were locked. I think it’s a safety measure stop people going to their vehicles. I think it’s because it reduces the risk of people getting injured if cars move in rough seas or risk of fires with people turning car engines on etc. I’d love to have stayed in my van but didn’t fancy getting locked down there should something happen 👍

I always assumed that if your van was on the outside deck that you could stay in your van if you wanted to. You certainly can on some ferries but different operators may have different rules. I’ve been on this boat and was very happy to have a cabin, the value on a 31 hour crossing is beyond compare to a short crossing. If the price is a big issue, then the seats are not bad, but a cabin is always going to be better,

Not 100% sure but no I don’t think the strap comes off completely.

You're very welcome! Thanks for the lovely comments. Very much appreciated 👍

Most definitely. In the spirit of things I even made an impromptu banana flambé and ice cream combo for a bunch of people around the fire pit which went down a storm. Looking forward to meeting up with all the new faces . Thanks for a great event.

@@lesliewatts7537 ahh thank you Leslie. Much appreciated. Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found it useful

@@bgaspard1411 glad you found this helpful 👍

Dropping the front sprocket and increasing the rear will increase torque. Facebook forums are very helpful for advice on specific models of bike. The parts I purchased mine from was square deals. The website is included in this video description 🤦‍♀️

@@bobdelaplage690 hey bob! Thanks so much for the follow . Hope you enjoy the channel. If you get time check out my recent adventures to Vietnam on a motorcycle. For some reason RUclips’s algorithm doesn’t show it but it’s an epic adventure split into micro episodes. 👍

You are welcome!. Many thanks for sharing bob! Sounds like an awesome set up!!!!

Great point!

@@andynotdave wow what an absolute nightmare. Thanks for sharing this!
