Thanks Donna…..”new wiper out”, what’s that then ?

Its called Bike guard, not sure how much it is but looks very good 👌

It is indeed, thank you ☺️

Thanks Mike. 😂 would be nice to have a bit of commission off sales 😂. Definitely needs a damn good clean, which I will try and do tomorrow.

Brave or stupid 😳😂 It was sketchy in places, but at least it proved that the wet weather performance of the CEAT tyres, at least here in the uk, is absolutely fine 😎

Wouldn’t surprise me 😂, thanks RR

Yes, definitely. Plus heated socks, and heated jacket powered by the bike, and battery powered heated gloves.

Absolutely Julian, nothing wrong with them in my humble opinion. Just because they are not a “known” brand, doesn’t mean they are rubbish 😉

😂 thanks Paul.

Thanks Jonathan, will have a look at the locknut when I clean Scorpio tomorrow……didn’t have time the other day, and had to whizz back to Nantwich for an overnighter, returning to the cottage later today. Yes, I have my anti corrosion stuff with me, so will get on it tomorrow. The Welsh fuzz are right t**ts, they have had me for doing “just over” in the past 🤬 Unfortunately, the next Wales vids will be in 1080p, as we are back to crap internet with an upload speed of 6mbps at best (that’s when it’s not dropping out) 😳 This means a 30 minute 1080p video takes between 4 - 5 hours to upload to RUclips. Bloody frustratingly slow 🫣😂

Nice to know Robert, thank you.

Thanks Mike. Unsure whether we will be coming back down to the cottage again in the summer this year, as lifestyle changes are afoot. I might explain in a video sometime, but in short, I need to get a proper job again 😢

@ oh,, bugger not a proper job 😥 yea this retirement lark isn’t cheap nowadays and as much as we’d like things not to change that’s not the way of life, you have to adapt and go forward, I’m sure you’ll be fine, I mean it’s not like you have had a normal (boring) lifestyle anyway 🤣🤣 snow and ice has about gone up here so the wee bike will be coming out again 🥳 ride safe buddy 👍

@mikehatswell3961 I just need two or three days a week, ideally working 3 weekends out of 4, allowing us to be able to return to Nantwich to take mum for appointments etc. Agreed, our lifestyle definitely hasn’t been boring 😊😎😂 Take care out there.

😂 oh bugger, I hoped no-one noticed 😂 thanks Edward

Thanks James, the wind was even worse on the way back (next video). Yes some of the sections were a bit sketchy, definitely nothing wrong with the CEAT tyres. ☺️

@ianhughesroyalenfield those Ceat tyres are superb. I couldn't fault them on the Himalayan or the Classic. Poor old Avon didn't get any money out of me 😃

As I have said many times previously, there isn’t anything wrong with them, at least here in the uk. Maybe the road surface in other countries gives less feedback, maybe a different surface dressing to withstand higher temperatures. 🤔

Thanks Mel, it should have warmed up a bit by then…….but then again you like the chilly weather 🥶😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield 😅

Hopefully the demo bike has a few miles in the clock, so you can really see what it’s like……I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Did you watch my first ride review ? With less than 15 minutes, I knew I had to have one 😂

Thanks Mo, really pleased you enjoyed it, I was just gutted I couldn’t do what I wanted to, hey ho. I think the next video, which is the return ride, shows the scenery better, though I will let you be the judge of that 😉😂

Oops that comment was from me, forgot I was on my other channel (so one extra like)

3rd attempt!​@@scootersbikesclassiccarsea122

😂😂😂😂, the more likes the better 👌. Have fun at the dealers 😎

Ooo, another new bike on the road. I think you and Malcolm (see other comments), need to get together for a chat too. Take care, and keep me updated as to how you are getting on with it. 😎

Well Robert, it’s all down to personal choice. Both are great bikes, the Interceptor produces a few bhp more, but is heavier. The Interceptor is a throbbing air cooled parallel twin, which goes really well, and handles really well too, but there is just something about the Guerrilla which wins the battle for me. The Interceptor looks like it’s from the 1960’s, whereas the Guerrilla looks like it’s from the 1980’s…..pick an era 😉. Best advice, test ride both. The throttle on the Guerrilla takes a bit of getting used to being a sensitive ride by wire, but oooo, when you get it 😎 Hope this helps in some way…….the Interceptor is a good bike though and I loved mine for 3 years 😂

That would be good, but I might try 3 Sisters first, as I have never been on a track day …….. that’s presuming you mean the Anglesey Circuit ? If you mean just going around Anglesey, it’s a bit far from where we are staying here in Powys, and where we are based on the north Lancashire/Cumbria border. That said, it could well be on the cards for a caravan trip (with the bike in the back of the van). Watch this space 😉 Cheers

The island not the track and I wouldn't consider it too far away

@richiektm it’s about a 4 hour round trip to get there and back, then however long to ride around it. Maybe in nice weather, but not in winter weather. Thanks for your thoughts though 👍

G’day mate (sorry, couldn’t help myself)…..no, still running on the CEAT’s, which I am truly happy with, even in these wet, and slimy conditions. In the dry, the handling is impeccable, and I certainly won’t be swapping them. Once upon a time (2018), I had a new Yamaha MT07, which had Bridgestone BT23’s (I think), and it was bloody awful, really vague, no feedback whatsoever. The CEAT’s are superb by comparison.

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Great info! Thanks for the reply cobber. Lovely smooth riding mate btw. 👍

@FoulolRon62 thank you, the Guerrilla is just so easy to ride…..he makes me look good 😊😂

Thanks Rod,so do I 😂😎

Thank you, still a bit iffy in places, but should be ok in the next couple of days. Take care yourself too.

Wasn’t shiny when we returned Keith, as you will see on the next video 😂😂

Plenty of time to get it run in…..no need to go out in yukky conditions 😉

Yeah I know, I'm just itching to get out on it 😊

@malcolmtaylor3231 take care my friend.

@@ianhughesroyalenfield thanks Ian I will, it's them others you have to watch out for 🤔

Absolutely 🫣

Thanks Malcolm. Well that’s fantastic news, please keep me in the loop as to how you get on with it. Get it run in, and have some serious fun 😎

Doing my best …… 😎😂

Good evening Mark, lovely isn’t it ……. though it did look better a couple of days previously, I didn’t want to run the risk of bouncing / sliding down the tarmac 😳😂 Cheers

Perfectly fine I would think. Though I never ride two up nowadays.

I’m in the process of doing my license. I’ve been flitting about round different bikes, looking at Honda etc, but there’s something real about RE and their line that just plays to the heart but not necessarily the head!

In my opinion , these new 450’s (Himalayan or Guerrilla), are up there with any comparable bikes from the big boys. Some people are bound to disagree with me, which is fine, but in over 45 years of riding all manner of bikes from different manufacturers, I can honestly say, they are brilliant. Good luck.

Thanks Philip, glad you are enjoying the Guerrilla vids. We are enjoying Mid Wales, though due to rather severe weather conditions on the roads, Scorpio hasn’t been out yet 🙄. I didn’t want to risk going out, as at my age, I wouldn’t mend very quickly 😂. Hopefully going out today for a bimble 🤞

I’m glad you are enjoying them, the Guerrilla is a great bike. If you have any questions, then please feel free to just ask away. Meanwhile, I hope you watch the older vids, and stick around for new ones too 😊 Cheers

Sadly you are correct.

Thanks Sean, exhaust could sound better 😉

Looks very much like my next one...

I am sure you will enjoy it immensely 🤗 thank you

Thank you. There is a “revisited” ride where I purposely try to find those vibes people were reporting. 😉

Thanks again Sean, hopefully you will have a look through the other vids on my channel, we do visit some great places. Cheers

Thanks for looking in Sean, hopefully you will get back out on the Bandit in the Spring. I had a 1200 Mk1 Bandit a good few years ago. Had it painted by Dream Machine in Alstare Corona (Franki Chilli) colours. Looked bloody awesome ! All the best.

Fair enough, I find up to 6k, playing on the revs is a hoot 😎

Ooo, now that sounds like a plan. Thank you, I will definitely try that. 😊

🤣🤣 not a chance

Thanks Chris, and all the very best to you too. Yes, the TAYM poll result really did take us by surprise, especially being quite a small niche. As for the mog, I don’t think it was a fair average, needed to have done more miles to get a proper idea, so will try and remember to check on it on future rides. Cheers

Thank you, it’s a great bike. Ownership is very rewarding……..smiles per mile are priceless 😎

😂 Scorpio is current tucked up in the back of the van ☺️

Thank you, pleased you enjoy the content. I am fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds, with the Guerrilla and Classic in the stable 😎. I would recommend taking a Guerrilla out for a spin 😉, but I would say that 😂😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Thanks for reply. Unfortunately as my name implies I am getting on a bit and dealers insurance won't cover me for test rides, bought classic without a test. Turned out good happily. As long as I can comfortably reach the floor I'm ok. Is the seat height on the Guerilla similar to the Classic? 🤞🤞

Surprisingly, the seat height on the Guerrilla is about 25mm lower than the Classic 350. I have a 30” inside leg, and can easily flat foot, with a slight bend in the knee.

@@ianhughesroyalenfieldThanks. Good news, I think, 🤔

🤣 so true.

I haven’t bothered trying to connect my phone to it, as I often find myself in areas without little or no mobile internet, hence the Garmin Zumo XT. Also Google Pixel phones (I have a 7a), are known to not want to link with the dash.

I do accept there could be a blind spot on his car, but if he had driven properly, he would have seen me. Instead, as you say, laziness, and a poor decision kicked in, when he decided to just look left, pull out, cutting the corner. Definitely a knob head 😂.

Hi Dino, all the best to you, Panda and the gang 🎉. Cadair is a bit far from the cottage, will leave that for October 😉. Mind you, it wasn’t bad on that day I did it on Clementine. There are a couple of good suggestions coming in 😎. Cheers
