@@sudopatisserie7292 thanks for watching, greatly appreciated… 4 years on, summer/winter use it’s still completely waterproof and going strong… it’s been excellent value

@@curly__3 thank you for that, it’s greatly appreciated and hope you enjoy some of the other videos.. Colorado is one of my bucket list of places to visit and I dream of a trip around your amazing country.

@@adamqurban8298 I’ll be posting a follow up in the next month or so but after about 1600 miles the light was still on and so I’ve now had the oem exhaust fitted with a reset of the light and will run it for a few hundred miles to see if it stays off. I’m already missing the Scorpion sound but want to take the process step by step, which at the end of the day will help future owners, frustrating though it is! I’ve spoken with Scorpion and they’re working on it but I suspect it’ll be well into next year for anything new…that’s if it’s the aftermarket is the problem of course!! The final options for me is either a device that can be fitted to trick the engine management to think emissions are okay (this route is an unofficial recommendation from dealer) or wait and see if Scorpion redevelops exhaust specifically for the NX. Basically you’ve got the latest update but watch out for video anyhow as I might have further to say then 😂

@@calichelozano it’s about 100/110cm near tent end and then varying dependent on pole length but easily about 140cm at higher end.. definitely capable of sitting under and in wet weather I’ve thrown a cheap tarp over to cover the sides! I no longer have the tent but only because I just can’t keep everything, although I’m considering buying another as they are very good value. I did have to re seal a couple of tie down points on inside of fly but it was easy to do and the tent was worth buying despite this.. have a look at a follow up video in extremely wet weather trip..

@thecampingbiker791 thank you! I figured it would need some fine tuning because of the price. Thank you for your honesty, I don't want any surprises so I'll better go for a North Face Stormbreak or Decatlon 900.

@ decathlon is good gear, also excellent warranty and support

@@SteveM109r thank you Steve, appreciated

@@1210tomdoyle I’ve actually changed bike to the NX500 but it worked very well for the 18 months of use on the 500X, I didn’t have issues of it leaking unless I accidentally caught the device while working on bike then would have a couple of drips come through. I found that best to use when lower speeds as at higher it would obviously spray off quicker and to use sparingly, to be honest on a trip just every few days was enough to keep it oiled, the reservoir would last a 2/3 weeks without need to refill, and it needed no servicing. I still did a regular cleaning of chain but it definitely did its job. The only down side of this type of device is that it can spray oil about a bit but controlled by using sparingly and at lower speeds, for me usually when below 30mph. Haven’t fitted one to the NX yet but would do before any longer trip and after change of oem chain to better quality on.

@@richardfews2113 yes, very good site! I run the bike with light on for about 1400 miles to see if it would eventually turn off but it didn’t, so next step was to remove aftermarket exhaust, put Honda one on and then run it for several hundred miles to see if problem reoccurs.. I suspect it won’t come back on now! Will be doing an update video in next 2/3 weeks 👍🏻

@@Bbbuddy yes, it’s all proportional really.. I did sort the vibrations out in the end but have subsequently changed to the NX 500 and it’s running very smoothly

@@RetroCB1100 thanks and pleased to be able to share these good value sites.. this one is excellent 👍🏻

@@andylupton1152 my thoughts exactly on this one! Well worth a visit and nice farming family running it 👍🏻

@@themotorbikecamper5990 thank you for watching and for your kind words… I’m so pleased these reviews are useful, the Campsite Review videos almost feel like a Good Value club now 😂 and I think there’s many of us don’t like paying high prices, which is becoming more prevalent in the UK, I had one site ask £35 per night when I contacted as no prices shown on website… they were surprised when I said I’d rather sleep in a ditch 😀 In all seriousness I suspect prices are generally going to escalate to the point it’s just not worth it but let’s hope not all sites👍🏻

@@steve-r-collier I feel your pain, well not with these now 😂 in all seriousness I love camping in freezing conditions and always have these as part of my winter pack

@@tomxrt2650 bit of a magical place and one I’ll also be going back to

@@gregoriobono8489 sorry to hear that Gregorio, very disappointing to hear and I would feel exactly the same as you! Have you contacted them to complain and can I ask which country you live in so I can see if any pattern emerges with others that have received the device.. it’s so frustrating that you’ve ended up with something else and thanks for giving your feedback 👍🏻

@thecampingbiker791 I live in Australia and after sending Aoocci a complaint email I received a reply today. They were very apologetic and stated they had run out of Aoocci C5 Pro and rather than keep me waiting sent a generic version that they supply to cheaper markets unbranded. They stated functionality is the same but there are a few obvious differences. They have offered a $10 refund that I will not accept, I will want at least $50 or a full refund. There apologise did recognise that they should have been more upfront and identified the product as a different item.... Not much more I can say but if you would like to sée there responding email I can forward it to you..... Cheers Greg in Oz

@@natscat4752 I really appreciate that, some think my style is a bit slow with pauses but it’s just the genuine me and as I’m aging I’m slowing down, particularly my thought processes 😂 well, I suppose it’s not a laughing matter really but you just to have see the funny side of it when it happens to you😊 👍🏻

@ it’s happening to me too!

@@natscat4752 as they say, it is what it is 😊

@@note9redmi17 there wasn’t but, from what I’ve seen elsewhere it’s the silver side up.. think the idea is it maintain the body heat via the reflective side to body

@@markonmotos yes, a useful one to know about Mark

@@sotos200012ss the exhaust was a specific CB500X 2019-24 that I had before buying the NX and thought it would be okay as the NX is just a upgraded 500X and is even registered as such.. I’ve subsequently spoken to Scorpion, they are aware of the problem and are going to do some development work with a NX for a new exhaust. Honda couldn’t figure out the issue, at one point changing the 02 sensor, but each time we reset the light came back on after a few hundred miles.. I’ve just put the oem Honda exhaust on and I’ll be reporting back after a few hundred miles 👍🏻 www.scorpion-exhausts.com/honda-cb-500-x-19-current-exhaust-systems?srsltid=AfmBOopq-RL-o24uBjVBwAPpA5W_YxSdvIdVlWuWuT6UfsxFkg0XwsG8

@thecampingbiker791 you are a legend

@ first time I’ve been called that 😂 👍🏻

@@amandagabriel3422 Hi Amanda, the Opalus is a very good tent, very roomy and excellent value, but you hit the nail on the head as my preferences have moved towards more compact options, indeed all my gear is moving towards ultralight.. I have a few tents and keep buying more (terribly addictive) so can’t keep them all and the Opalus was eventually sold. I’d definitely recommend it and my latest tent purchase is another Naturehike tent 👍🏻

@thecampingbiker791 good to know, thank you.v

@ no problem 👍🏻

Also got a good cafe even if not camping

Good to know for next time! I run it for about 1200 miles just to see if the light would switch off, it didn’t and now swopped to Honda exhaust.. will be doing an update video soon 👍🏻

@@GeordiLaForgery thank you so much, I appreciate the support

@@andylupton1152 thanks Andy, well worth a pre Christmas night away and don’t forget the cafe is excellent and cheap 👍🏻

@@johnbiddal5951 so pleased these videos are useful, it’s quite a niche subject but I genuinely enjoy making these videos 👍🏻

@@royblackburn1163 cheers Roy, I’ll keep them coming 😃

@@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y yes, I had similar once with some horses in a field coughing and farting through the night…. Well, thinking about it, maybe it was me 😂

@@kevindarkstar thanks, not something I thought about to be honest but makes sense 👍🏻

@@kevindarkstar thanks 🙏

@@keithtomalin3172 actually I can’t recall but mine is the L/XL which fits me perfectly! There’s only 3 sizes, the others being S/M & 2XL/3XL…. Really strange sizing but I suppose it’s to reflect the stretch in them 😂

@@kuldeepbhonde04 not with the existing fitting kit but I’m experimenting currently with either using Ball Ram Mount, one with flat plate or using an old Garmin Sat nav mount, using the existing bolt and vibration bracket on the Aoocci, mounted onto flat Garmin cover! Think this is the way to go with addition of 3m dual lock.. Ill post when job done 👍🏻

@@jossv650 Rear is 150/70/B17 I’m now on the Honda NX500 and not too far off needing new tyres!

@@SoCalSlaughter congratulations, hope you really enjoy it.. what colour did you pick.. Much better not having the 02 sensor, mine is having original Honda exhaust fitted today as next step in trying to sort out the ongoing issue…yes the light came back on! Looks like the ever stricter EU Emissions laws are going to screw us completely over time but despite the issues bike is running well 👍🏻

@@thecampingbiker791 Mine is the all black model. Have about 200 miles on it so far, and loving it. Been having to order Honda OEM accessories from the UK because the US market is pretty empty right now. Shame about the engine light being on. My thinking is, the higher flow exhaust is messing with the O2 sensor reading, making the light come on.

@@SoCalSlaughter yes could be right o exhaust.. enjoy the bike 👍🏻

@@grumpygit447 yes, good point and with my bike it’s made much easier having the flat engine guard fitted

@@johnpawson7400 although not expressed, my thoughts exactly 😂

@@tiagomoreira8742 just used last week as weather cools down, obviously not needed through spring or summer but actually they’re working great, batteries seems to hold the charge well and can’t really find fault, although for motorcycle use they don’t have any armoured protection but I’m not that bothered personally for the occasional use 👍🏻

@@Captain-mp4ne excellent value and cracking good tent 👍🏻

@@radoslawswinarski4427 great winter tent 👍🏻

@@person.X. I’ve just recently moved mine onto new bike, the NX500 👍🏻

@@thecampingbiker791 The job has become a total nightmare. First of all I had to use ratchet straps so I could get the bolts into the engine block. It is difficult to do as when you tension the strap the bike itself gets in the way of the mechanism. Worse though, my torque wrench failed to click at 35NM so the bolt has broken off in the billet. At least it wasn't one of the bolts that goes into the engine block. But now I will have to order new billets from RR which since I am in Australia will cost a fortune and take ages.

@@person.X. sorry to hear that, I do hate it when things just don’t go smoothly.. everything worked well enough with both my 500X and NX, although the 500x was a bit easier! Let me know how you get on, hope you have a second bike.. it would drive me crazy not riding 😧

@@MrPsiman my thoughts on this one was for simple cook/food prep knife, separate from overall camp knife but the Swiss Army 7 would be a great overall camp knife… the pruner blade is excellent when preparing food.

@@TomDutch yes, very good pillow, indeed I think Decathlon gear is excellent value for money all round.. With reviewing gear I’ve managed to collect several pillows and this ranks highly just behind the Exped Mega Pillow which although extremely impressive is much more expensive. Like you say if Decathlon made a bigger version of this it would be one I’d also buy!

@@garyeaton6172 nice one, excellent pub and staff.. good beer and food, all worthwhile! I’ll check out Court Hill, always good to get recommendations Gary

@thecampingbiker791 thank you 👍🏻

@@garyeaton6172 Court Hill looks good, I’ll go there when I get chance

@thecampingbiker791 you won't regret there are some beautiful Ridgeway walks. The Devil's Punchbowl is only a mile away, the beautiful Uffington White Horse. Also the lovely Town of Wantage. Court Hill is well known for their fabulous cakes too.

@@michaeljsullivan524 no problems Michael, I appreciate you watching so far! Interestingly, I have considered finishing making videos as the cost of doing so far exceeds any advertising income which is very small scale.. I would probably leave the existing ones published but ultimately the channel would wither and die anyhow. The other consideration is just to do campsite reviews which have a good following, albeit not large in numbers, however they aren’t costly to produce and make the least money so easier to do without adverts! Genuine question, how do you see the smaller RUclipsrs continue making videos when the costs far exceed the small income from ads they get or do we just have content from the big sponsored creators or wealthier individuals…I just don’t know the answer to this one!

@@thecampingbiker791 Hey, no worries. On the ads return, i can imagine. Im not an expert and I don't know whether you can choose the frequency of them or not, but I would have thought there was probably some revenue to be had from affiliate links in your descriptions, maybe worth looking into. I bought the pillow anyway btw, cheers 🙂

@ it’s no problem at all, I’m just the same on adverts 😂 Good choice on pillow, I’ve been using mine and find it to be one of the best I’ve tried, only beaten by the Exped Mega pillow which is amazing but for a balance of pack size/value/comfort the Gram Counter wins 👍🏻

Great stuff, glad it was useful and know you’re going to enjoy it… they are good tents these Elixirs 👍🏻

Nice one, pleased you passed and great choice with bike.. thanks for letting me know and nice to have met you 👍🏻

@@markonmotos thanks for watching Mark

@@andyninja949 thanks Andy, greatly appreciated 👍🏻

@@GerardMcmullan to be fair the NX is performing extremely well, exactly as my old 500X did and is almost the same ride.. I’ll get the problem sorted.. eventually!
