🤣👍
The last thing is crucial. 😂
I have a Mk III Versys 650 GT as my first big bike and it's phenomenal. Put 2.5k on it in the first month and have loved every single mile.
Parents are going to Gran Caneria at the end of the year. They didn't seem too happy when, after watching this, i've asked to tag along xD
I loved my Versys 650 GT. I smashed 23k on mine in 3 years. Great first big bike, decent commuter and could also tour. Must get myself to Gran Canaria. Those roads!
OMG, those roads are amazing and views are breathtaking, JEALOUS doesn't even come close
It’s a special place to ride, well worth the trip 👍
Been there with canaries tours twice its like a race track with the most stunning views . Can't wait to go again 😊
It’s awesome eh Gus, maybe see you there one day 👍
There it is again, the little feel of jealousy. 😁
That's a fantastic trip Bruce, it almost make you feel dizzy with all the twisties. Thank you for showing it to us. 😃👍
Ha Ha sorry Thomas, I keep doing this to you mate! 😬🤦♂️🤣👍
@@teapotone I hope so Bruce! 😁🤭😂👍
Cracking vid again Bruce I did a tour with canary in Slovenia last year great bunch of guys, nice to see you got some new kit, about time you put your hand in ya pocket 🤣🤣🤣 all the best , keep it on the stops 👍
Hi Kenny, hope you are well Jx
Great Scenes, I was there last year, Epic roads. The guy in front of you.......... he's making my toes curl
Ha Ha 🤣👍
Fantastic trip fantastic bunch of lads and stunning island to ride on 👏👏👏🏍💨 great vid mate 👍
Was a pleasure riding with you Matt …
Am grinning from ear to ear again watching this…😊🥃
Cheers gents, was a great week away on the bikes wasn’t it 👍
Think I've just discovered my next self-indulgence holiday. Ch6eers & ATVB
Ha Ha you won’t be disappointed Gary! Say hello to Joy and the gang when you see them from me then please 👍
Rock Nublo, is that huge rock you can see for miles. Great memories, did four trips with Canary Motorcycle Tours in previous years.
Joy and Martin certainly look after you, it's probably the easiest way to ride abroad in our winter.
Thanks Richard, aye it’s a very relaxed and social way to tour isn’t it 👍
Honestly get over to canaries motorcycle tours, you will not be disappointed great people who genuinely care about your “Adventure”….….👌😊🥃🏴
Thanks bud, was great to ride these awesome roads with you 👍
Great video Bruce. Been there twice and yes, those roads are fantastic. I had an NC750 and it was very happy on those mountain roads. If anyone hasn't been, I highly recommend it! It also brought back some great memories.
Cheers, glad to hear you enjoyed your time there too 👍
Great video, lovely scenery, beautiful weather just like Wales in December 😢,
Few riders seriously cutting the corners and riding on the other side of the road 😮😮
Aye, sadly you’ll see the outcome of that kind of riding later in the series 🤷♂️🤦♂️👍
Just watched it and came to same conclusion - going wide out of hairpins and straightening blind bends.
Been looking at a week out there myself. Looks fantastic. The travel insurance note about riding over 125cc is important and noted.
Fun on small roads like these.
Great video Bruce, thanks for sharing. I had a fantastic week with Canary Motorcycle Tours in November '22, brilliant tours around a stunning island, looking to go again early '24, it would be rude not to 😃
Awesome, great to hear you enjoyed it Steve 👍
I had a versys 650, as a second bike for work, ect,ect. Nice little bike. Whatever you’re on a 2k bike or a 20k adventure bike. The view is exactly the same. Chers Bruce.
OMG. LOVE IT!!! And yes, I’m shouting.
Need to know if insurance and so on can cover Aussie riders. So want to do this.
Their insurance will cover the bike, but YOU need to have travel insurance in place which covers you for riding a motorcycle above 125cc (a lot of travel insurance companies only cover up to 125cc normally).
These are the people I use - I’m not on commission or sponsored.

Great video! It was nice to see Fataga again. One day I will get back there .
Work ,,,,,,,,,,,,stop yaself Bruce,that looked great mate thanks for sharing 👍
This video just confirms that I must ride the island. If only I could afford it. But, than again you taking us along is awesome. Thanks Bruce!
Cheers Shawn, definitely worth saving up for if you can 👍
Fantastic trip Bruce, thanks again dude!
Lovin watching this again, brings back all the memories and yes, I'd do it again any day!
Cheers mate, aye I’m enjoying reliving each day as I work through the edits, was a great trip wasn’t it 👍
I was there in January the team are faultless, I was so pleased with there professionalism. Tho after a week riding I was toast knackered. Will I do it again? You betcha. Great vid/memories. Cheers
Nice one bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Looks mega,feel dizzy just watching all those great bends 😂🏍👍🏍👍🌞
Cracking roads Teapot, good to mention about the insurance, I always get the right insurance for riding abroad bit more expensive but the cost without it if needed could lose you your house. Much the same for the ordinary 125cc on the usual policy, on most if you read the small print usually states your only insured if you wear the appropriate protective gear otherwise they’re not paying out. By that assume they don’t mean helmet, tee shirt, shorts and flip flops.
Looks absolutely brilliant there
Roads looked good Bruce, interesting angle of attack the geezer on the bike in front of you bud. You might want to steer him in the direction of Rapid training before he throws his machinery at the scenery
Ha Ha, aye there’s always a variety of lines on tour! 😉👍
I think a little 125 on those roads would be great, easy to stop not fast but flickable. Good video keep the round bits down.
Another great touring video, I just wish these twisties will end,give me a straight road 😂. Brilliant
Cheers bud 👍
Brilliant vid as always Bruce, brilliant roads 🤘🥃👍
Thanks very much Sean, chuffed you enjoyed it and yep, they’re pretty amazing over there aren’t they 👍
I've got a 2011 versys 650, I know it's no looker but with the arthritis in my hands it made sense to downsize from a Multistrada.
It's got factory panniers great for trips away.
Literally just booked for 28th November 23 can't wait 👍😎
Excellent! Have a fantastic time 👍
@TeapotOne Thanks Bruce, I certainly will, watched all your Canary trips, please keep up the great content 👍
Absolutely amazing roads 💥 great vid 👍
I love all your travel vids, specially those from canary island 🎉
Wow, that looks epic.
Thanks bud, it was, 100% recommend it 👍
Nice one Brucey. Looks splendid.
Looks absolutely brilliant. Hoping I can do this sometime
Very nice!!! Jealous for sure!
Looks absolutely amazing and definitely on my to do list 😂
Great stuff 👍
Great Video.... Thank you
Happy Days!
You got to test ride the new versus 1000 se gt in the uk at some point. But good rides very jealous. The weather is very similar to the isle of man.
Great video very jealous going to have to add this to my list of tours to be done! How do I get the calimoto trial?
Just send me an email to info@teapotone.com 👍
Nice trip. You actually don't "need" the power anywhere in the world. 650cc is more than enough anywhere on the planet.
Aye but it’s not as much fun 😉
This place has one of the most beautiful roads on the world, like mostly of all Spain roads
I Bruce, thanks for this marvelous ride & scenery! My riding season has finally begun in may here in southern Québec! When did you film this trip? Ride safe, Marc 😉🏍
Hi Marc,
It was December 2022 👍
i own a 2021 Kawasaki Versys 650, the mid range model but got the top box added in as it come with the pannairs. the bike is great for me, im getting back into biking after 10years out of it, so the 650 good for insurance, its also a decent step up from lower cc engines for someone passed there tests. only things that are annoying me on it after 10k miles, clutch is getting heavy and stiff, had the rear shock replaced under warranty as it siezed up, and i dont like the givi top box mechanism to hold it shut, takes a lot of effort to push the button to open it and is annoying to line it up to shut it when top box near full, i prefered my 2006 givi top box clasp.
its quoted at 65hp at 7000rpm, if you push it it can keep up with a 1000 on scottish roads, it can do 80 or 90 on a motorway but it doesnt like motorways, could do with a gearing change with chain and sprocket so it sits better on motorways if you do a lot of motorway miles.
2 up its good, me and the wife went up to Blair Castle few weeks ago, up the A9 and handled it well.
And i think the best bit, living in Dundee someone tried to nick it by kicking the handle bars to break the lock, because of the design, the handle bars twisted but the lock didnt break, it cost me less than my excess to get the handle bars fixed but they didnt get the bike wich is important.
if you are looking for a mid ranged touring motorbike, its decent.
those roads looked fantastic to ride, maybe in a few years if the wife gets past her test we will do a trip like that too lol
Feel really bad for you having to work in those conditions. If you ever need a day off or a holiday, give me a shout, I'll step in and cover you for a day or two 😀
Thanks bud, it’s a chore 🤷♂️😉👍
@@teapotone 😂
Heaven on earth 🙌🤗🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
Great video. How did you find the road skin gear in the warmer weather?
Great, got to 33 degrees which was admittedly hot, but not unbearable 👍
Versys 650 is a good bike. Had the gen 1 for a while and loved it. Look wise it’s a marmite bike not to everybody’s taste though
This looks amazing and I must get it booked for my birthday next year. Minus the leche leche though because that will put me in the world of pain you are alluding to, Unfortunately :/
Ha Ha, honestly mate the quality of riding over there is world class, just superb.
Well worth a visit 👍
So true about the twistys massively stretching the miles. eg. How far is it around the coast of Britain? answer: infinitely long
Brilliant vid teapot, on about travel insurance which one would you recommend. Ride safe 🙏
I’m not on any commission and have no connection with them at all - these are the ones I’ve been using the last 3-4yrs

Hi Bruce. I have a versus 650 I use for commuting on & the occasional weekend ride when I don't want to get my r1200rs covered in salt or dirt. I notice you have attached you add-ons case to the nav bracket on the bars but which specific case of bracket are you using? Could you possibly share a direct link to it please. Cheers
Hello bud,
I use this one

@@teapotone excellent thanks for taking the time to send me the link. I'll use your discount code at the checkout.
Cheers fella 👍
Hey Bruce, What insurance company do you use for the correct travel insurance. ? Also maybe missed it but what month was this ?
I use Navigator for my travel insurance and get a Voyager Plus scheme

@@teapotone Awesome cheers 👌.
Hi Bruce who did you go with for travel insurance?
Who do you use for your Travel Insurance when abroad?
I’ve used Navigator Insurance for the last 3 years or so, they do specific motorcycle insurance.

@@teapotone thanks Bruce. Appreciate it!
I'm looking at the quality of the road! Not potholes or melted tarmac.
👍🤘👍🤘
Great roads but The guy in front of you on that first section is scary to watch
The one on the wrong side of the road through blind corners? 🙈
@@yorkshireperson that’s the one
Hi Mr teapotOne do I contact you ? Id like to contact you !
Hi, you can if you like bud, either through my Instagram DM’s or via email info@teapotone.com 👍
