    "250 miles for a cup of tea"
    This is my favourite kind of ride. I regularly travel from my home in Kenilworth, Warwickshire to Lymington, Hampshire for a coffee at a little cafe on The Quay. It is 136 miles each way, so the ride there usually takes around three hours as I like to meander through The New Forest once I have passed Southampton.
    Heading home I tend to be more direct, taking 2 hours.
    The best part of using the bike is its traffic queue defeating abilities as the A34 is known for its queues.

    Hi Ricky, Been a follower of your channel for sometime now and have to say that’s the quality of your vlogs have got better over the years without doubt. I especially followed more recently your escapades on the Vstrom 1050 which I’ve enjoyed very much, so much so it has got my juices going for one myself. Your trips into Spain have been nothing short of inspirational, and I’ve been riding for over fifty years. I have to say that my off-road experience is virtually nil so would opt for the road biased version which seemed good on the launch you went on. I’d like to know what exhaust you fitted as I’ve place the standard dustbin fitted with it being no more than cosmetic. Keep up the great show. You’re top notch. Best wishes for 2024 John

    • @RichyVida
      @RichyVida  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you very much, John. Just the kind of comment I needed this morning!
      I have a Fuel exhaust on it. Totally transformed the bike. Sounds fantastic. If you do get one, give them a call. Lovely people. Handmade up in Kendal. 👍

BTW safe journeys on the big winter adventure 👍👍

  • @greenrush4313
    @greenrush4313 5 месяцев назад

    I've owned both. Sold my BMW to buy the Pan Am and have not been disappointed. BMW has some annoying traits that you did not hit on which have plagued the bike for years. Overall though, I thought your review was well done. The Pan Am is not perfect but neither was the BMW. I'm at 7500 miles now with zero issues. Overall what has impressed me most about the Pan Am is its ability to chew up miles without effort. What impressed me the least about the Pan Am and something Harley really needs to address is the size and placement of the rear tail light. Small and hard to see with full bags on the bike. Borderline dangerous. I rigged aftermarket LED's on my tail box to help with that. Otherwise, good scoot.

    Hey Richy, thank you sir. After watching your short vid on the wireless android auto and you provided the links i purchased one. I have not been out on the bike yet but have installed and tested google maps and Spotify (two most important Apps 😊) working like a dream (so thank you). I was wondering if it was waterproof but as you've mentioned seems to be well sealed so the tasting is in the pudding 😊 👍👍👍

    Hi Richy, good to hear about the Apple CarPlay dongle. I have a similar device for my car, one thing I did notice, using a iPhone 13 mini, when using nav, the battery runs down quite quickly. But it does work well and well worth it.
    I’m currently looking at buy either a AT 1100 or an NT 1100 with CarPlay, so will be buying another dongle. I think I’ll try the one you have bought, as it was cheaper than the one I bought, plus you have confirmed it works on the AT. 👍
