Evening Dezmond, I did enjoyed this bike very much and do miss that magnificent engine and loved the looks and comfort, it is a cracker. However, the top heavy weight was always there to manage and in the end it was time to change The NT1100 DCT is a great successor and far easier to manage as it carries it's weight down low. I do enjoy making videos so it no effort, looking at this early video shows how much my editing style has changed. Great to hear you are enjoying my videos.

Evening, glad you enjoyed. I have a workflow I follow that starts before the ride, that way it makes editing easier and quicker. Also have templates ready to go so it cuts down repetition. YT is pretty much my entertainment as well, I follow a good few bike channels but also, stuff around SpaceX, boating, model making and touring videos. YT has everything. Good luck with the next vids.

Hello Brian, thanks for the great feedback, it is something I like too see in other folks videos and good to know it is of some use. 👍

The hut at the side of the building has been closed which is a shame. Not sure about the bacon rolls. As you know it don't bother me and not my motivation for doing this but it is a shame the small channel's are not given a fair crack at it. My subs are climbing again but the numbers are still pretty flat but the vids I do are certainly niche so who knows.

@@blearyview2254 Yes it's a shame the hut has closed, I'm not sure where the place is BOMOAOK is speaking about? I was getting the odd new sub yet no comment or likes which seems odd. Also TAYM commented on a couple of videos but his and other comments were hidden to me. That to me is what makes it worth while, the interaction with like minded folks, I'd hate to think someone commented or asked a question but didn't get a reply because I can't see it.

@@greywolf9292 The eating place is inside the building, it the same folk but a sit in service although we have had take away coffee before. Just got to keep plugging away and don't let it get you down.

haha she woukd love that but it not going to happen, we need a removal van for all the stuff she takes 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers, glad you enjoyed.

Hi Paul, Thanks for the lovely comment, been painting all day and am knackered, but it does look good. More tomorrow me thinks.

🤣🤣🤣"nuts" in the best way of course, very entertaining stuff you put out with a Scottish slant😁 Enjoy your holiday.

@@blearyview2254 lol hey I own it mate so I agree with you 🤣 You are too kind Bleary but thank you very much for putting up with it 😅

@@GermanJobbies keep them coming Dunc 👍👍👍

I wish the camera could provide a better experience of the vista, but you will have to make do with me telling you it is 🤣🤣🤣 and the roads are so quiet but need to be careful of the farm vehicles, they are everywhere.

Afternoon Dezmond, cheers, it was great to get out and it could be the last ride for the next two or three weeks so it made it even more special.

Afternoon BM, everyday a school day, I did not realise they did breakfast, will need to sample that soon.

@@blearyview2254 It's called "Cafe Circa". We have been there many times and they do great lunches as well as the breakfasts. I just assumed that you knew as you had posted a video from there previously, when you met up with Grey Wolf for a coffee.

@@B0M0A0K I knew about lunches and have eaten there many times but did not realise they did breakfast. The food is good and a very relaxed atmosphere and may drop in there on way south when heading for my hols.

The Sidlaws are 30 miles long with many roads crisis crossing the hills and most are very quiet, what not to like. Thanks for the best wishes Peter.

Thanks Dave, really looking forward to the break and hope the weather improves.

Thanks Joe, it a tremendous area to ride a motorcycle, the views are stunning.

Afternoon Jim, indeed there are downsides to the chest mount but it will work in certain scenarios. Do you have your bike back yet?

@@blearyview2254 Still no bike yet, the replacement wiring harness is due at the end of this month.

@@JimGDMAC Jezz what a nightmare. They are not making a great advert for the brand with such a delay.

Afternoon James, the Classic does indeed look and sound great although I have not used it so much this year, damm weather.

I bought the "Neewer Magnetic Neck Holder" and seems to do the trick. I got it from Amazon and would link it but YT does not seem to like external links.

Great, it will look good on that wonderful Honda.

Totally agree how YT brings together like minded folk to share their passion and in the process make new friends. The reason I mentioned the view subject is the figuers for my videos fell off a cliff. I went from 6k-10k per month to less than 5k so something changed. Also the monthly subs went from 20-40 per month down to as low as 3 (three). My best performing videos are the "doing" stuff, the control cluster on the NT 1100 was the best the last time I looked with many thousands of views and it still is being watched. I have thoughts on why it has changed and may share in a future video to hear what folks think.

🤣🤣🤣Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Cheers Joe.

Thank you👍 I do like the different angle and it does away with head movement (which i have a lot) but the mic set up is a bit more of a faff.

It was a spur of the moment purchase but it another option should I need it agree the screen is a no go for the cheat mount. Which bike did you put the mount on?

@@blearyview2254 Super Meteor

@@B0M0A0K Got ya 👍

Well spotted Paul on the audio, I had to use another mic and as you say no where near as good as the one I normally use. I won't use the chest mount for bikes with screens for sure but it an option for the Enfield.

Evening Nige, I have come to the same conclusion for the NT and NC so will not use it for those bikes. Never seen a shoulder mount I like, most seem to need a backpack to strap too but if you know of one then let me know.

Evening Dave, yeah good old YT, they do strange things at times. Chest mount is fine but I still have to get used to it but it another option for sure.

Evening Michael, I have only used it once so far and think it may only be is use on the Enfield as the other two bikes have screens. Also I have to change my mic so it just a faff. Never say never but will no doubt use it again.

These long bike trips are very addictive and highly recommended. I said to my wife this will the last time to visit Europe on the motorcycle but already getting thoughts about next year :) The question is where to go!!!

Evening Michael, bummer with the lurgy spoiling the holiday, blinking typical. Aye they seem to stick the batteries in tough to get at places, the ground works will pay off during the winter, no more wet feet.

@@blearyview2254 Cheers Alex, yes the groundwork should make a difference but it sure is hard work digging cloggy clay soil. Still when I dug the founds for the last one it'd been dry for weeks, it was like digging concrete. Which meant I gave up before digging deep enough to put a layer of gravel first, which is why I get water seepage up through the plastic floor. The new one will have concrete founds on a gravel bed.

@@greywolf9292 You picked the right weather to do this, the hottest past couple of weeks of the summer🤣🤣🤣, no worries, I been doing lots of work and hardly been out on bike, aching all over haha, old age eh. 🤣🤣

Morning Mick, just a four hour ferry trip away then I am on Norwegian soil. I had been up at 6am the next day and finally disembarked at 2pm, but it was well worth it for the bike riding to come.

It was indeed a great trip, even motorway miles did not spoil. The main thing is the weather was excellent while in Norway and had warm sunshine which is so lucky as it was heavy rain before and right after my visit.

Morning Dave, that's the motorways done and dusted for a good while (it rained on the same road on the way back) and this was the last day of not feeling great. It is Norway next and the roads and scenery dramatically change for the better.

Hi Nige, thankfully that was the last day of feeling crap, The hotels were excellent and it was only the last hotel that was in need of TLC but it was clean. Aye the NT was made for this kind of trip and performed flawlessly.

Good morning Alex and at last I can watch 'Bleary View' without having my own bleary view 😊. They do know how 6 charge, some of these places. Good to share this ride with you over breakfast but I was sorry to learn you still weren't feeling 100%... Hopefully things improved further into your journey

Morning Joe, that was the last of the rain until I come back to mainland Europe, the weather was excellent in Norway. The bag on the rear seat is the Q Bag and would highly recommend one (Sportsbikeshop). You normally see it on earlier videos but was taken off for the top box. I used it for waterproofs and spare bottles of water.

Morning Peter and good that the vision is sorting itself out. The weather and headaches are all sorted after day 4 and it the end of motorways until I return to the mainland. The sun shone for the next five days.

Wonderful. Apologies for muddling my comment in with Joe's there 😊

@@Lanes-Explorer5733 No worries Peter, it just good to hear the eye sight is back up to speed.

Haha, butt cheeks were clenched for better control, but not for the control of the motorcycle 🤣🤣🤣 You do not see in the video but the a bit of a camber on the ferry deck so the crossing was a pain because I was worried it would fall over. I held onto the bike for most of the crossing. I came back the same way and there were a couple of things highlighting things to watch out for but that for another video.

Morning James, that 4.5hrs does not include stops, that is actual on the bike time and is taken from the sat nav. The NT is really comfortable so it was a fairly easy to do that kind of riding.

Hello Bob, big game tomorrow and looking forward to it. I love that little Classic, such a lot of bike for little money. Not seen many Scramblers in the wild, it a good looking bike. I will keep a look out for you as I ride around Forfar a lot and many thanks for the sub.

Morning Michael, that is the downside of going to Norway, it so far away and though I could have knocked at least a day off the journey to get there, it would have involved high speed motorways and where is the fun in that. Aye, Norway is massive and I really only scratched the surface.

Hi Paul, I used AA on the NT a few times on the tour and it worked very well. One thing I noticed was my phone got very hot so it must be working pretty hard to be as warm as it was. The big screen is a real benefit and will be interesting to hear how it works for you. Thankfully that was the only wobble by the SatNav on the tour.

Evening Peter, it was an "exciting" road for sure haha. Thankfully it was the only one.

Cheers Ice, it was great fun. I thoroughly recommend heading to Europe.

If it was their garden path they better sort it out 🤣🤣🤣Two hours of queuing at least but I was speaking to a guy and his wife from Brora (at the top of Denmark staying at same hotel, small world eh) a couple of days later and he was telling me Hamburg was a nightmare with major roadworks. Denmark was difficult to find accommodation at a price I was will to pay, the hotel around the corner wanted £220 for a night. The NT is just the biz for touring mate, even though it chain drive.

Hi Jim, I think I had quickest route, avoid motorways and tolls and unpaved roads. I rarely use Adventurous routing as it takes you some weird ways. Sounds like you had a bit of a nightmare but you are spot on when you say you are never lost, it just part of the adventure.

Yep, I got away with one this time, the satnav behaved after this one so all good. I heard that there were similar queues on the way back and the wait was over two hours, another benefit of riding a motorcycle. Just finished editing first day in Norway and that be here in a couple of weeks.

Looking forward to it 👍

Haha, clearly she won't read this post. Aye the Sat Nav has a mind of it's own.

Indeed I was very lucky with all three, Norway is a different level and won't be long before we get there.

The weather was excellent, five days of warm unbroken sunshine, it rained just before I arrived and just after I left so could not have timed it any better. Spoiler alert, I loved my time in Norway, the roads and scenery were everything I had hoped for and have posted a couple of riding video in a playlist "Happiness and Tranquillity on a Motorcycle", Lysebotn and it's 27 switchbacks is one of them.

Morning Dave, yeah the joys of satnas, thankfully the bike stayed upright.

Morning Joe, aye that was a bit scary being on fully loaded tourer with road tyres on that surface. I thought it was road works because we were so fa from the ferry, but got there in the end. The next video is in Denmark and the place is so flat.

Cheers Ian, I followed most of my own advice on this years tour except room booking, I really only booked hotels in Norway but it worked well, there is an example of that in tomorrows video.
