Well guys thankyou so much for joining me again on my little channel , well as you know we are on the lookout for a unicorn which is a bike that me and Shaun can both ride and not just a commuter , so that involves Shaun using it for work to avoid the toll charges and something i can use at the weekends as a "full size" bike to get my confidence back as a tip toe rider and to be honest as you probably know the toll charge savings alone would pretty much pay for it so in this video i head down to my local dealership to try a few bikes so we can start narrowing it down .
as always feel free to contact me .

What a gem of a video. You remind me so much of my eldest daughter and yea she never shuts up rabbiting haha. So nice to hear a proper accent.
Hope you get the bike your after. Me personally I will always go Honda, although as i'm getting older I do like the BMW's. Ride safe look forward to your next one.👍
Thank you so much I'm really loving this journey 😀
Triumph Speed 400! Looks a great bike with a low seat! Good price too! 👍
This is the second time I’ve come across your channel and I most say it’s a great show, I’m 69 years young and I’ve a Kawasaki gtr 1400 ( yes its bloody heavy) but I love it, who would have thought years ago I’d still be able to throw my leg over a big bike like this but like I say she’s a great bike, I to dabble in painting I try and do a BOB ROSS wet on wet it’s a great way to unwind, anyway I’ll stop going on and just say it’s a great channel and keep up the riding coz you never know what life throws at you 👍👍👍👍👍
Awww thank you so much for commenting, yes I'm a late starter and really hoping I've got plenty years left in the saddle .. looking forward to my 1st Euro trip this year and like yourself art is my happy place to unwind 😀
@@bikesandbrushes 6 of my mates went to the isle of sky about 6 years ago it was beautiful we have also been to Germany and that was amazing to ( very friendly people) but them days are long gone now I just potter about but still love it, you enjoy your bike my friend because there is no better feeling than riding and the freedom is just priceless 👍👍👍👍
I'm the same age as you , own/ride a couple of bikes , my air-therapy/time-alone space . I don't paint (yet) but i do write plus a bit of meditation . If you want to continue throwing that leg over a bike into the-future , consider The Tibetan 5-Rites , after a bike-accident 4-years-ago , I was told I couldn't ride . Getting the use of my arms-back was a slow-process until I discovered the-5 . I couldn't do them properly for a long-time but even my Specialist started doing them after seeing the sudden healing-results with me . I only do it 7-times (you can do up to 21-moves ) and you start-off doing only one of each posture . They pre-date Yoga and were originally-done fluidly , not slowly, both ways work . Stay-safe Dave nz
agree with you all
Almost 2k now, that is awesome! The new bikes and lids look great
I know and haven't a clue what I'm doing but all fun 😀
@@bikesandbrushes none of us know what we are doing LOL - as long as you are having fun, thats the main thing
I love going out with the boys but there's nothing better than being out on your own. Go where you want stop where you want and, like you say Faye, reflect on the past but look forward to the future. X.
Absolutely 100% thank you so much for commenting
I just got a Triumph Tiger 800xcx 2015 .. I'm 71 , it's best bike I ever had , such a smooth ride )
Ohh funny you should mention that I'm hoping to try a low version (think that's what it is) next weekend 😀
@@bikesandbrushes You will love it I reckon ! I'm 5'11 but can flat foot on my XCX ..look forward to your review !
Did they mention at the dealer the Kawasaki vulcan has a ergo fit system ie the bars and pegs/gear/brake levers are adjustable. You can have forward,mid and semi mid peg position and different bar positions..
Hi, no, he didn't say a word 😅 may be it's because I'm a woman, but I did know the bike has an ergo fit system, which would be great 👍, thank for the comment 😊
I have one off them indicators bleeding warning sounds with a warning light. Saved my life and other people crossing in front of me. Well worth the price.
Yes Shaun will prob fit 1 to my bike at some point as like u say they only cost pennies 😀
I remember sitting on a straight 6 Benelli 750 back in 1978. I think it was lower than "your Benelli" and strangely enough not much wider.
For me the stretch to the bars is usually more of a problem but suppose that could be sorted easy enough 😃
Great video. Glad RUclips sent me to your channel. Think you need an off road bike looking at them roads!
Haha, tell me about it. The new video today had roads with outstanding pot holes. 😄 thanks for joining the channel. I really appreciate it!!!!!!
I recently bought one of those Bell Qualifier helmets in black / cyan / white, at 7:57 in the video, I have a 60cm head and I bought a large (59 to 60cm), it feels very tight on my head, so much so that I can feel my pulse when I'm wearing it. I bought it online, not a good idea buying a helmet without trying it on first.
Yes absolutely agree although i have to try before i buy mainly because i wear glasses for riding so trying to find a helmet that fits well and also accepts glasses can be a struggle 😀
Glad you remembered about your indicator..... Not all Harley's are heavy, my Softail street Bob FXBB is light, nimble and agile but best of all is low enough for you and still big enough for Shaun. I'm six foot in my stiletto's and i am not cramped at all. with you both having a leaning towards a Harley and just wanting it for commuting and occasional jaunts further afield it is ideal and sounds bloody lovely as well.
Will be honest we've no idea about the Harley range (well i definitely don't) I've borrowed a freinds 889 that was loud enough to wake the dead but that's about it 😄😄😄
I mentioned it on another of your posts I can always meet you at Millennium for you check the street bob out and have a quick spin. For me it has replaced the Sportster range now all Harley's are softail
Lovely video….lovely comments and thoughts…..thanks Faye for sharing x
Thank you just trying to do my best 😀
Hi Faye, didn’t realise you had your own channel, just subscribed x
Hope you and Shaun are well, sorry about your bad news. 😢
Chris is now riding one of your old learning bikes....good old Desmond who is still going strong 😆 🤣 xx
Aww thanks Sally ... Desmond was an absolute life saver for me so thank you so much for that 😀
So well done, love the channel. We definitely need more ladies riding motorcycles. Keep up the great work, thank you 😀👍
Thank you so much, 💓 I agree 👍 more women to share the love of motorbike 🏍 adventures 😊
We tried to get one bike to share but just couldn't find the right one. I'm 5'7" and hubby's 6'2" with 33" leg so was proving tricky. In the end he got a GSA and I've just been pilly on the back of it. Tbh, I think I prefer riding my own bike. Time to start bike hunting methinks! 🤔😉 I had a GS1200 but want something much lighter now. It was good to get out today though. Ended up in Woodstock for a coffee. 👍
Haha nightmare isn't it luckily it's just a 3rd bike so comprise is gonna be 50/50 and at the moment the new himalayan is looking fave
Your channel is very great to present a ride that is fun to watch, If I look at your motorbike, it's the same as the Honda rebel 550.. I support your channel, thank you for sharing the beautiful journey.
It my pleasure thank you for taking the time to comment 😀
Oooh I love a good display of Helmets, spent (wasted?) many minutes gazing... even once left the shop without gloves that I actually went for, they wanted to close shop. For some, you almost need a bank loan.
Good hunting for that shared bike, and training the Indicator muscle-memory
You're not wrong, a bank loan 😅 for most things 😊 hahhaha, training my thumb is getting better 👌 thanks for your support x
First time watching your videos, must say enjoyed it very much 0:18
Haha honestly it will get better as it's a big learning curve from a late in life biker but thank you so much for commenting 😀
Liking the vlogs . Always nice too ..You do your talking so well . I love the big bikes but being 4ft 11 it’s a no go 😔 I have the Vulcan S it’s a great bike to ride . And the seat height is good too . I had my pegs brought back . 😊
I know it's a pain how few biked we can have the opportunity to ride 😢. I am loving the riding and sharing my journey, thanks for commenting and being part of this channel ❤
I had a kawasaki vulcan s and it surprised my friend when he rode it back from the hospital for me.
It's low enough for you and is great, responsive and would fit you both. It's a hard thing to share a bike. One of you is going to be compromising and your height doesn't allow for that. As a short rider I know the downsides.
I've got an intruder but it's 40kg heavier than the vulcan s.
Happy bike shopping.
Yes so many choices it's really hard to find the compromise although that last cruiser Shaun took out to Anglesey prob would of done the trick for us decisions decisions 😀
Love your vlogs, Faye. Very enjoyable to watch 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate your support I will try and keep them coming 😊 I do enjoy sharing my travels 😅
The beepers are great as they are so annoying that you'll never forget to turn them off. I have them on my VF 750 and can hear them up to 60 kph.
Yes definitely looking like an option 😄
Friday, in Paris, we had wall-to-wall sunshine and 24°C. Today, I'm revolting in similar weather 😛😁, an enormous demonstration is planned in Paris and also throughout France.
Indicator does becomes "muscle memory" after a while.
What's happening about a camper van?
If you don't use a helmet any longer, give it to the Fire Brigade or Ambulance Service so they can practice removing them safely from accident victims. That's where mine go when I've finished with them.
Paris in the sunshine sounds like paradise 😊, I love the idea of donating my old helmets to our local fire station. Thanks for that ... enjoy France 😊
The campervan is still on the cards definitely a dreammof ours 😊
Love your videos you so enjoy biking and it shows. ❤
Aww thank you so much just trying to improve all the time 😀
I wear the agv pista gp-rr rossi 2019 replica. It's the lightest lid I've ever worn. I also have the pista gp-r project 46 matte carbon and have just bought alpinestars r10 but have worn it yet. Can't beat a good lid. Ride safe.
My trouble is fit and it's gotta take my glasses so can be a nightmare 😀
Great video. Once you ride a big heavy bike across country, you never go back. Sorry about Uncle. Would be great to have a Bike and Brushes sticker to go beside my TinsonTour sticker. Take care!
Hoping to have a go on this bmw Shaun has brought home as i can just about tiptoe that 1 😄
Nice to hear your gonna keep the Rebel, really are a no brainer for us short arse’s😂
I hear CF Moto, got a 450 cruiser coming out. The Keeway 302, that you had too, although probably too small Shaun.
I love my Meteor . Got a the touring seat fettled and lowered by 30mm, foam replaced with memory foam and medical gel.
Currently it’s on holiday getting new cam and some extras. Already fitted the dna, and red rooster de cat and exhaust, so hits the Rev limit with ease, If required.😊
And can be had for £3k…..bargin. Then can have what ever accessories fitted you require.
Will do video, when I get Bumble back.
Nice back drop picture at end with the Rebel.😊
Yes we tried the meteor about 18months ago , loved it although after having the sv650 felt it really sluggish so be interested to hear how yours is after having the work done
hello from Texas can't wait for to get good riding weather here in my area, planning a 4 hour ride on my new Re hunter this summer. at 61 yo had to give up my heavy Harley for this one, no Not fast but it will get me there thats for sure.. Great video good luck on your new bike search.
Absolutely 100% agree as long as it does the job it's all grand ... Texas is on our bucket list to travel to 😀
I'm off to Millennium today. They have the Kawasaki open day there today. I've been told the new eliminator will be there 😊 I'm doing my mod 1 next month. I'm like you in hieght. 5ft on a good day 😂 so a bit limited with bikes. I bought myself some Daytona boots last month and they have been a game changer. I would highly recommend you have a look at them. Safe riding hun 🏍
Hi there yeah been using daytona ladystar boots for 3years now absolutely love them , just on our way to millenium but it's bouncing down.
Good see u ride motorcycle keep it going there 😊
Aww thank you so much 😀
Hiya, i just read the usefull comment about the ergofit system on the Kwaka and i think that i could possibly be the perfect bike for you.
Yes we've tried the ergo fit on them about 2 years ago and did a vid about it although I've got the Rebel now which for me is far better bike as its much lighter and easily as quick although i do like the vulcan s 😀
Great video Faye keep em coming
Thanks, Paul. I will try my best 😊
Every biker leaves the indicator on at some time, a bit scary but easy to do.
Haha i know even Shaun a biker of 36yrs still does it now and again , i could of edited it out but thought it's best showing the real me although prob wish i hadn't now 🤣🤣🤣
It’s been 27-29C here we had 1 day or over cast and a cold 17C
Just started bouncing down here 🌧
Funny enough….I was out for my second ride of the year…..awful weather in Jersey….so a great two hour ride out…but oh my god, how many times did my left thumb not turn my indicator off….I even tried indicating by pressing the horn button….wish on my NC750DCT would have self cancelling blinkers and a better positioned horn……oh and me getting muscle memory back….
Haha its not all bad we are all humans even Shaun leaves his on now and again and he's been at it for 34yrs 🤣🤣
@@bikesandbrushes ….Hi Faye, well I hope this week to get out on my bike….no doubt I’ll forget again….I saw a seasoned rider only today forgetting to turn his blinker off…all bikes should have self cancelling blinkers in my opinion….hehe
faye lets see more of your art. 👍👍👍
I'll be honest I've just finished a commission for some1 who didn't want it on youtube but have started a new 1 of my own that should be finished this week , need to stop giving them away to family members 😀
I like the 502C even the bug headlight. Its very Ducati Diavel style adjacent.
I agree 👍 💯 it did feel good and a contender for both of us 😀
Hi Faye instead of another lid why not increase your safe gear with a neck brace instead.
Because my lids broke so need to get that sorted as only 1 i can wear glasses with 😄
I am also guilty of leaving the indicators on, so frustrating and makes me feel hopeless. My shoei is 19yrs old. Never been dropped, immaculate, quietest and most comfy. I ve bought new helmets but I still reach for the shoei. Advice is that they should be changed. I cant bring myself to chuck it. I am going to throw an odd ball at you. Try a forza 350 for you both. Biker of 49 yrs and several scooters. Very little maintenance, no chain, not large and enough go for uk roads and comfy touring. Obvs 2nd hand though.
Hahahha 😅 dam indicators 😂 I'm getting better lol. Iv not had a scooter out could be an idea thanks. I totally agree 👍 my shoei is my favourite lid 😊xx
Hi Faye, I hope when you said look at all the makeup in this lid you hadn't picked up Shaun's by mistake LOL,
It very tempting when in a great place like that.
His make up bag puts mine to shame 🤣🤣🤣
So Glad it was taken in good faith Faye, i would not like to upset the big fella !!!
You should have a look at the "TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T100 - BLUE STEALTH EDITION or just the TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T100" - more than enough power & low enough for you to get on/off + comfortable ride, or the "TRIUMPH SPEED 400" - nice & light.
Ohhh we have an awful relationship with our Triumph dealer ... long story
@@bikesandbrushes I know your fella told me. I suggested you contact Triumph HQ & ask if you can test a couple of "Press Bikes" like Freddie Dobbs does/did, just make sure you tell them about your RUclips channels when you ask.
really enjoyed that faye
Aww thanks for watching 😄
Nice one kid, cheers
Hahaha 😆 a proper scouser saying thanks 😊
Consider a super scooter, would fit both Shaun and yourself, don't knock it until you have tried it!
Haha Shaun has tried the adventure Honda scooter (not sure what's it called) he loves it but I'm not convinced yet 🤣🤣😄 gonna have to try it
Thanks
Aww thank you so much 😀
I would like for myself, a Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster. I’d then eventually put floorboards on it.
Nice looking bike our friend John has 1 although only as a 2nd bike
I love watching European motovlog channels. Mostly for the beautiful scenery.
Yeah, it's amazing riding around in the breathtaking landscape, I hope to ride through France this year 🙏
Love dodging potholes in the U.K.
Hi how about you doing one of your brilliant paintings I've seen in your videos on your tank promoting Bikes and brushes. Gav.
Hi there yes that was the plan although had no idea it'd cost so much but then again it could be money well spent 😊
Like your channel Faye
Aww thank you 😀
Better bring your own food when touring? 😱 & coffee!
Haha we always take our own coffee on Tour
Size of that breakfast 😅❤
Haha my keto breakfast
Indicators !!😠 My lad was as guilty as hell (bless him, no longer with us, M/C fatality) so I rode behind him 3 consecutive days, and every time he left an indicator on I gave him a blast of my Denali Air horn , by the 3rd day he was pretty much sorted, and riding with him subsequently, he was considered to be cured !! 🙂as an ex traffic cop, leaving on indicators can be a contributory factor to SMIDSY's, so it is a habit that needs to be nipped in the bud, good luck with the search for a new bike, bit of quandary on a bike for both of you 👍
I'm so sorry to hear about your son, ❤
I have been our on the bike again today. As you said, it's all memory coming back I'm tending to keep my 👍 thumb near the button now so I definitely turn it off 😊. Thank you so much for your support 😊
@@fayetinsley1580 Hi Faye,
Thanks for the message,
The indicators is just a memory thing, and the more you ride the easier it gets , but tbh, the Rebel dash (I have same in a CL500) is pretty dark and the indicator lights are poor too. Honda dropped the ball with this dash, looks very dated.😞
I’ve owned 104 bikes, ridden from age 5 (dad was a speedway rider) and treated them as toys, just for leisure, but after losing my son in 2011, I had a severe mental breakdown, which cost me everything, home, job & wife. But after a year, I got better and went back to live with my Mom in the West Midlands (had been in Hospital for 10 months and my prognosis was I’d always be a ‘cabbage’ the rest of my life , hence medically retired and my wife divorced me) Boy did I prove them all wrong !!! 😲
So after just over a year, I decided to tax & insure my R1, unsure if I had the mental strength to ride it and its consequential emotional baggage. I was fine, and now I have 4 bikes that are my emotional escapism and ride nearly every day, here in Mid Wales (moving here was another decision to ease the pain) so going from being toys, they are now an essential part of my life, and I could not live without them, and I have a much clearer understanding of mental health issues.
Life is strange and hurtful at times, but from everything that happens we continually learn, and grow wiser. 👍
Take care, was nice to have a reply from you, much appreciated, thank you 🙂
You're helmet audio is fantastic! Have you done a "how to" video?
I'll be honest my fella sorts all that side of it out but it can be hit and miss sometimes 😀
@@bikesandbrushes well he's doing a great job of it. We'll done to him👍👏👏👏
check RE450 wobbles less remain planted on road
Just trying to find a local demo as i tried 1 for size at the bike show and loved it
I have a 2017 Iron 883 had it since new (yes heavy and expensive) but I can cruse at 80 miles at 4,500 rpm rain hail shine or wind and it won’t budge 🤣 but I want to return back to adventure riding so my plan was either a BMW 310GS same as gf or a KTM 390 Adventure but Royal Enfield just keeps getting me sidelined with the 650 shotgun and the 450 Himalayan. I like classic retro so with v-twin sound
883 iron was my 1st Harley experience after our friend Brian let me borrow it , loved the noise just so heavy although that was just after I'd passed my test , sat on the new himalayan at the bike show really like that bike 😄
@@bikesandbrushesYeah, and the stock suspension is a bit rubbish, I have V&H full system and it’s loud, so I have to pick my timeline. The roads hers outside the CBD are rubbish and I don’t mind the odd fire road. Like green lanes but bigger more gravel. Just looking for more diversity live in Australia so better weather don’t rain much, but we have lots of things that bite so it’s not all cricket 🏏
Haha its rained here for what feels like forever so just praying for it to turn
Morning Fay there is only one blossom in your garden thats you .
Arrrrrr thank you 😊 my Nick name was lotus blossom 🌸 bull dog face 😅
Smooth Michael…..very smooth! 😉👍
Hi Sincerest condolences on your loss
Aww thank you 😊
@@bikesandbrushes your welcome
Love benelli faye🇬🇧👍🏍🙂
Yeah really do like the look of the cruiser
How about a spare bike to replace the spare bike? I can usually find a good enough reason to purchase something too 🙂
Haha you sound like Shaun 🤣
I’d like your thoughts on the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650
Hoping to take 1 out very soon 😀
"Look at all the make-up on that!"....Shaun been borrowing it again?
As you have that lovely local accent, where was the dealer that you went to for breakie?
Haha closet makeup wearer ... its millenium motorcycles in sthelens just down the road from where we live 😀
Vulcans drive proper nice
Yes rode 1 about 18months ago but it was in the largest ergo fit so was a struggle with reach so wasn't the longest ride
with largest you mean for a big rider?, think the one I tried was in standard form so couldn't comment. The cruiser style just hurt my back a little (bulged discs!)..I would have bought one otherwise
Ahhhh yes Shaun has buldged discs so some cruisers really hurt his lower back
How about a Royal Enfield Super Meteor? Nice and low for you Faye and plenty of go for Shaun too?
I'll have to ask him but think he took something out the other week that was similar that he thought I'd be ok with 😄
@@bikesandbrushes he took out the Shot Gun 650 - basically a Super Meteor with mid controls and less raked forks - looked the business 👍🏼
Yeah the blue 1 haha honestly I'm gonna do my best to get up with makes and models
@@bikesandbrushes 🤪
Have you thought about an Indian scout bobber or triumph bobber
Yeah tried the Indian at the bike show loved it but pricey , not a massive triumph fan if I'm honest
@@bikesandbrushes the old models might drop in price now they have the new models out
8:05: i have a shoei daryl beattie replica. it's wow
Love mine it's a Michael Rutter replica
😊
H2R😁
😄😄😄🏍
gsx-s1000 brilliant bikes have modes so you can ride it like a hooligan of stick traction on and mode c and its like a 600 ;)
Miles to tall for me unfortunately 😕
@@bikesandbrushes They aint very tall and you can lower it it comes with the tool to lower it lol i have the latest model and it can be sooooo taim or full power great bikes
My sv650 was lowered 2" with a low seat as well and that was still a bit to tall
@@bikesandbrushes its lower than sv650 i flat foot on the bike and have rear end jacked up on my Fireblade i could not flat foot at all they are a lot lower than you think just have a test ride see what you think although they feel a lot better to ride when tweaked exhaust so on ;)
@scottrowlands874 32" seat height my sv650 was just over 30" lowest in class that's why i got it then lowered 2" I've only got a 27" inside leg lol we had a suzuki Katana on test couldn't even get a toe down without hanging off 🤣🤣
Honda Hornet cb750 picked up 1st March ❤❤ best bike ever
Great bike we tried 1 when they where 1st released but way to tall for me as a lot of Bikes are 😀
Where is that dealership? And is the breakfast worthwhile?
Its Millenium Motorcycles in Sthelens just down the road from us 😃
Thanks. Been there once before for breakfast many years back.
Customisation cost loads and you’ll never be happy with it…
Yes agree with that we spent loads on our old gsx1400 making it showroom .
You need a bunneze for your hair there great keeps your hair perfect and created by a female uk biker....
A great product 👌 my daughter has one she has beautiful curly thick hair unlike me 😆 xx
Well why don't you leave your job and make your motorbike videos full time as a full time job and keep on RUclips as it will help you reach the top of RUclips
I'm a head teacher in the daytime and if I'm honest youtube is just a bit of fun but hey who knows in the future .. thanks so much for commenting 😀
Worst career advice ever 🤣
What you should do, is identify as being 6'2" - all your shortness problems solved.
Haha problem solved 🤣😀
*Hmm, a woman in a helmet store.* Isn't that a bit cliché, yeah? ;)
