Welcome to my video channel where I will be adding videos from my travels around the world.
I'm a sometime photographer: I mainly shoot classic, classy, artistic nude and fetish images as well as catwalk, commercial and performance images. If you're interested, you can see some examples at RHM.Photo
I've been published in various magazines over the years, mainly in Easyriders, In The Wind and Back Street Heroes, back in the days when I shot on Ilford HP4 film and Kodachrome 64 for slides/transparencies and your payment was sent by a US Dollar cheque (or should that be "check"?).
This channel is complementary to my Instagram account - @RHMPhotographic - which has some of my safe for work images and will no doubt have some teasers from this RUclips account.
It will almost certainly feature my motorbikes and car: an Abarth 124 Spider, a BMW R 1250 RT LE and a Kawasaki ZRX1200R.

Eurothrash 2024 Day 8: Aix-les-Bains to Luxembourg via Switzerland (Geneva, Lausanne and Neuchatel)
Day 8 on Eurothrash 2024 and it was a longish ride on the BMW R1250RT LE from Aix-les-Bains through Switzerland and into Luxembourg where it lashed down with rain and we were glad we had fully waterproof Klim riding gear (we had moaned about now getting new mesh jackets up to this point).

Eurothrash 2024: Day 6 (Day 5 was a rest day) - Castillon-du-Gard to Cannes
Просмотров 2028 дней назад
So after a rest day at the First Dates Hotel - aka Le Vieux Castillon - we headed off to Cannes in 38C temperatures. We won't mention the crash when we were filtering through slow speed traffic to get past a road cleaner who unexpectedly took us out, achieving a 66 degree lean angle, apparently, as the BMW R1250RT laid down for a bit... We got to the JW Marriott at Cannes where we were told we ...

In Belgium, on the way to the BMW's Berlin Birthplace

On our way in early June 2024 to Berlin taking the 2023 BMW R 1250 RT LE back to its birthplace, the BMW Motorrad factory in Berlin. This was the first day as we got to Dinant in Belgium. You can see that I'm really not a fan of BMW's Connected (cr)app which either loses map mode, crashes out completely, or stalls as it did twice that day. Please just let us use Apple CarPlay and then we can us...

I was left unsupervised for the day, so I went off to the Cotswolds - specifically Burford and Bourton on the Water - on my BMW R 1250 RT LE for a 175 mile rideout, passing by the so-called "Harry's Crossroads" and "Harry's Corner" used by Harry Metcalfe on his wonderful @harrysgarage RUclips Channel. Well worth subscribing to! Please excuse the brain melt at the start as well :)

Robotic Lawnmower? 2 April 2023 Delivery Driver Can't Drive
They should have put the 12R motor in those and beefed up the frame and gone single shock rear.
No need to: that engine can produce good numbers and it handles perfectly well enough for trackday fun, even on stock shocks. The bike weight is always going to be the limiting factor.
Jesus! Ive watched it 3 times and that was 3 times too many. How the hell did you survive this? How are you now? Best wishes mate.
As I said in the description, witnesses thought I was dead and so did my Apple Watch, but it wasn't my time and they put what was left back together. I was walking again after a couple of months and back on a motorbike a year or so later after my final amputation and I'm loving life despite the constant pain. Better that than dead!
The motorcyclist has to take a lot of blame here. There are arrows indicating to keep left and the bike rider is ignoring them and overtaking. Personally, if there is any turn off on the road, i would not overtake which has kept me on the bike since 1979 without an incident. I am 70 now and have 4 bikes. One is a Triumph Rocket 111 and a Thunderbird LT plus 2 old bikes. There are videos of the old Triumph on my channel. Nasty accident and you are lucky to be here. I did have a big bump in 1979 and the insurer paid out enough to buy me a house and new car. I have a lot of pain still and had an operation 25 years after the accident to fix my knee. Hence the large payout due to problems lasting 45 years so far. I can barely walk now but can still ride
Maybe if you stay on the right side of the road. That wouldn't of happened. Hahaha.
It’s “have” not “of”. You’re welcome.
Great video. Aside from the beautiful scenery your video also revealed the appealing performance of BMW’s lack lister navigation system. A yr ago at age 62 I moved away from Adventure bike riding to touring riding by trading my 2021 Africa Twin for a 2022 R1250RT. I absolutely love the BMW it would instantly trade the nav system for the Africa Twins Apple Car Play. Apple car play never once let me down while riding the numerous back roads and highland hills of Ontario Canada. I now routinely put my trust in Google maps on my cell phone, never an issue but it would be great to see the map on the large BMW screen. Come on BMW get your act together.
I totally agree. Given that BMW have CarPlay on their cars, why can't they include it on their motorcycles? I swear by Waze on my iPhone and with CarPlay whenever I've used a car with it.
Ride a 2015 BMW RT and had an opportunity to ride my friends 2023 RT. The bike felt a little more balanced and the exhaust note was a little deeper in the bike, and of course the TFT was amazing. The only thing I would like is for the NAV to have a satellite connection understanding you lose connectivity in the U.S. where’s there’s no coverage via the cell carriers.
Definitely. When I drove the PCH a couple of years ago, I relied on my iPhone and Waze for navigation and was amazed at just how poor cellular coverage is in the US.
So you say; "as it did twice that day". Than you are a real lucky guy! Only twice a disruptive connected app. My installation does not function twice every quarter.
It's really irritating, isn't it?
@@RichardHMorris Yesterday I did a short tour (125km) with an Android. Smoothly. When I got home I grabbed the iPhone and drove the same route again. With six faults. One time the app stopped completely. Other times the connection was lost and restored a short time later. I don't understand why owners with this problem aren't all rebelling against BMW.
You are almost at the headquarters, just ask the CEO to upgrade the app and allow all the Connected app users enjoy Apple CarPlay 🙂 I would be thankfull ;-) ps: I am seriously considering to install my old Zumo XT on my 1 year old RT. But BMW should be a shame!!!
Jeez, that (Playboy) overtake was so sketchy. Death wish!
Charlbury road from Burford one of my favourites
It didn't even wipe its feet before walking on your new carpet. How rude!😂
I know! Shocking, eh?
That's scary. It wasn't the impact, it was the car that ran over it.
Yes it was. The side impact probably stripped my fingers, but all the other injuries were from being run over front and back.
@@RichardHMorris I wish you long life and good health. You survived a terrible accident. Be careful.
When the nav is in full screen mode hit the jog wheel to the left,you then scroll up and down to zoom in and out,once you’ve got the required view you can then return to split screen
Thanks Craig; I'll try that next time.
Hey there, Rich. One of my questions I intend asking my local motorrad dealer concerns the integration of the sat nav on the bike. I've read and heard accounts that there are problems. As an owner of a BMW car, my question is why would the navigation be inferior by comparison on the bike? Have you got it working to your satisfaction? If there have been updates, I wonder if they'll be available retrospectively for 2023 models. Any thoughts? Cheers, Bourne.
It's a good question for them and I'm pleased I don't have that comparison to make. Why not simply have CarPlay on the RT? It's a no-brainer, surely? The BMW Connected App needs both Bluetooth and a wireless connection between the phone and bike to work and does not have any "safety camera" alerts for supposedly dangerous sections of road, rather than getting prompts from Waze or Maps, etc. It also drops out from time to time. BMW: JUST ENABLE CARPLAY!
Well, as I live and breathe! None other than himself pops up on my RUclips feed. Due entirely because I've been looking at BMW motorrad offerings and currently quite interested in the R1250LT. I'm glad you're back on 2 wheels and sounding healthy and well. Love, Dino 🦖
Thanks Dino! Good o hear from you again. The RT is fabulous.
The dealership has made ypur plate up incorrectly. It shoukd be 8000 RM. As displayed it is misrepresented and indicates 800 ORM. The standard size plare can take 4 characters on one line as most plates have 7 characters. I would get them to change that for you asap. Cracking bike BTW
Thanks! I already had a plate made up with the letters spaced as expected so I whacked it on. I love the RT. Everything I’d hoped it would be. Very grown up though 😅
Good thing you obscured the speedo lest the black helicopters launch to search you out lol. Congrats. I think this is my next bike, same color. Enjoy!
You'll love it! I wasn't speeding on purpose but if I had accidentally and momentarily had an extremely slight excess of speed, I wouldn't want to find this used against me, especially having shown the registration plate.
You sure you downloaded the maps fully in the app?
Yep. The full maps have been downloaded for pretty much all of Europe as we’ve plannied some big Eurotours this summer.
I tried once to drive RT, it was insane big, so big respect 🙃
It's really agile once you're on the move. It's size means it's supremely comfortable too.
Enjoy mate. I'm waiting for mine to show up. Same colour with the black RT decal, and a few extra 719 Options for mine oh and the Akra 😊
I thought the Akra would be noisier, but it doesn't seem to make that much difference? I have a full Akra system on my Kawasaki ZRX1200R and love it. Looks wise, your Akra really will look good! I stayed away from the 719 Options list, partly because I needed a shorty clutch lever due to finger amputations and my gloves now getting trapped, and sadly the 719 Options don't seem to include one. So Wunderlich got that gig along with the side stand base enlarger.
Your on the verge of getting the super touring bike for the European adventure 🎉🎉🎉😊
Yep: picking it up next week.
BMW ❤❤
The stops are to have a drink of water.
Glad you're still with us after that mate.
Bloody hell I really thought you'd bought it there. A reminder to us all to treat other motorists as idiots. I guess you mainly stick to 4 wheels now?!
No; once I'd had what was left of my little finger amputated before Christmas 2020 I was then able to grip a handlebar again. After fitting a shorty Pazzo clutch lever to try to reduce the number of times I trap the two empty glove fingers, I was able to get back on two wheels again! First trying out an R1250RT - which was great - and then riding my fettled ZRX1200R (zrx1200r.com/2022/06/29/mot-2022/ )
@@RichardHMorris that's fantastic well done! I'm at that age where the RT's been on my radar so how do you find it? I still can't decide! Been looking at the kawasaki 1000 sx too as it's touring I'm into.
@@paulyflyer8154 Sorry for the delay! Yes, the RT is exceptional which is why it's still our preferred replacement; see r1250rt.com/2021/08/05/road-test/
Treat other motorists like idiots? It was the bikers fault hahaha.
very optimistic dyno lol.
Yes, 5bhp out or so. It was more powerful than some ZZR1400s on the day too. But then it has high compression pistons, is gas flowed, with ZZR1200 cams, junked airbus and a race Akrapovic exhaust, so I'm not surprised at the numbers. Jealousy is not an attractive trait.
@@RichardHMorris not jealous. Just surprised, this beast is pushing modern day zx14r numbers.
@@davidstancu2963 yes, the ZZR1400 owners there were a little bit annoyed.
Pretty car
Looks like the blind leading the blind hee hee
Harsh! :)
WTF!! Why would you make a dyno video without posting the numbers. You think anyone wants to actually watch this stupid shit? Wtf is wrong with you?
not sure if your showing the car or a close up of your head, wrong road to show this car, sweeping mountain roads would be best but that would mean going out of the M25
Well, Richard, I think you may have you months mixed up. There's no way you did that ride in June with that much snow on the ground. I'v been to Andorra several times. Twice to go snow sking. An 3 other times to check on a house that I was planing on buying. By May all the snow is gone. This was most likely shot in Last February or March. But still nice video coming into Pas de las Casas.
Well unless I was mysteriously transported there without my knowledge - along with my friends - you're completely wrong. It was indeed June 2013 when I was in the Pyrenees: see my blog entry here www.zrx1200r.com/2013/06/12/ear-popping-pyrenees/
I didn't make a pass yesterday, fully snowed in. Went back to Spain and through Puigcerda, made to the tunnel just before snowed in.
Nice sound track. Nice car. Wrong road. But I'm guessing you avoided a head on with a bulldozer so there is an upside.
It sure is nice to travel with motorbike.
Incredible scenery. What bike are you on there? Is it the GT?
No, this was the ZRX a few weeks before I picked up the GT.
please whats this had done.. i need one to eat HDs in perth.. please please..
See my links below to my blog.
yes, this roads are crazy, but it's my playground, i live in this country, and i love it.
Use to live in Bezau and yes, this road is that crazy.
Sounds like a ZRX to me. That's what mine sounds like with a Kerker exhaust.
Nice on full screen 1080p...
I have a feeling the guys I was with did that on the day I was getting tyres fitted in Andorra. I've not been there before, but I don't think that's the usual!
Wow! There wasn't a flake of snow up there on either of the occasions I've been up there in July - Is that kind of snow in June normal?? If you'd gone the other way from Andorra towards Barcelona, you'd have found the epic N152 Collada de Tosas, which I think is the finest road I've ever ridden!!
It's a Kawasaki ZRX1200R, standard then other than a slip-on silencer.
What bike are you on mate?
Back then it was actually running stock intake - jets and airbox - just a slip-on Akra: see the video of it on the mobile dyno at Brands from the following summer.
better a late reply than never... nope, no forced induction on Rich's rex. Back then it was jetted with Akra and that was it.
That was a nice lil ride i liked the crap out of it
Seen the dyno chart for 'May 2011' on your website. Impressive results. There has been questions about the accuracy of the Dyno at the Ace. Tho not far off results from both. So it's gas flowed (Stage 1 with K&N or similar), full exhaust system, and Dymags, (I glean from my limited knowledge ;) ). Would recommend (a small easy mod) titanium disc bolts all round and sprocket nuts as you now know the advantages of light weight wheels.
Sounds like a full exhaust system + stage 1 or something. Standard is about 105hp, 75ft torque. Tho there are ??? about that dyno.
It would take extensive work internally to get those numbers out of those pokey motors.
