Another great video , nice to hear you chatting ...nothing wrong with a bit of good natured waffle 😂 And yeah gone are the days of meeting up in the pub for a good old chinwag 😢
Hi, thank you, you're absolutely right, nothing wrong with a good old natter, years ago meeting up in the local pub was a great way to socialise with your mates, thanks for watching....... Colin ☺️
Hello Colin, thank you for another great look at your surroundings, you were very lucky to fit a ride in as the weather is not at all good, to those people who say you talk to much, I'd answer back with you are the unsociable ones, people watch your rides as they not only enjoy the scenery but you keep us entertained, so Colin please keep your videos exactly the way they are, and ignore what the hatters say, their just not worth it
Hi Steven, thanks for your comment, I don't think I talk too much, in fact I was brought up to communicate well, I know some people find it hard to socialise, some are shy and others just can't be bothered, I've never found myself in any situation where I've found it hard to talk to people, I think being in the motorcycle community helps, as wherever I've been on my travels other bikers are always up for a chat, thanks for watching........Colin ☺️
Absolutely mate, chatting, waffling, gabbing away is good, plenty of subjects to pick through with you mate, plenty to think about 😂 I did a 1000km then let her stretch her legs a little till 2000km up now feel comfortable to open her up on occasions and cruise at 100-105 kph, I’ve bought 2 pairs of goat skin unlined vented cruiser gloves for named for €14 a pair, weird I did a stint with pony express out of Bristol courier I agree completely + ride all week for work, took the pleasure out of weekend riding, pants job after a while, and I always wanted a blood runner job and in Somerset our local radio traffic reporter who rode hi# bike around all day doing reports on the traffic / accidents and weather …. Pete🇫🇷
Hi Pete, I suppose I just love to talk 😂😂, I always wanted to do the blood bikes, as I think it's a really worthwhile thing to do, unlike the depach riders, 2000km and the engine is sweet, ..... Colin ☺️
Garry of Economical Rides got road tyres put on in place the standard tyres. Should message him re his thoughts. Garry has the same 3 bikes as yourself.😊 Dry roads! What’s that, forget what they look like……..😂 enjoy. What a lovely ride out, tried to follow on goggle maps, but failed miserably!😂
Morning Mark, I really must take a look at Garry's channel, thanks for letting me know, the roads didn't stay dry for long, I'd only been back a few minutes and the rain started and it's still going, someone asked me as well as saying where I am , could I put the names of the village's I go through on the video, so you should be able to follow on the maps easier, hope your well, take care ...... Colin 😊
Good evening. I did go for ride today, it was blowing a gale, not too cold (about 18) but the wind was making bike go all over the place. I use my phone for navigation on mount . Robin..
Hi Robin, normally it's us that's got the wind, but today was calm, well until this evening and now it's raining again 😭, I use Google maps as they are in my opinion very good, but the trouble is the phone tends to loose the signal, yes you can down load maps, but that's just to much faffing about, so I now plot the route on Google maps then send it to my Garmin via the app, and of course Garmin doesn't loose the signal, ........ Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 Yes, I use offline maps. I can plan on my phone indoors and then moon t on bike (or from maps app on my computer) and send send to phone. I think front wheel is coming off this weekend to look for slow leak. :-(
The more “main roads”. Roads 🤔 is what I will stick to when I get out, the lanes are covered in mud here as well, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 na mate more like 28 at least, 20 is stretching it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴
Garry from Economical Rides in Spain, got this bike too. Garry decided to put road tyres on , obviously at his cost. Maybe send Garry a message. He I think, felt he wouldn’t do any off road tracks, and be purely tarmac. Can’t remember what brand of tyres, think Pirelli. ( could be wrong) Garry has same 3 bikes as yourself😊 Lovely ride out, tried to follow on google maps, but failed miserably.😂

Glad to see you out for a ride. Enjoy the blue sky and be safe.
Hi David, I took the opportunity while I could, unfortunately we are back in the rain, thanks for watching...... Colin ☺️

@esrider7765 , better to sort the leak before it gets worse, the front wheel off is an easy job
@@droneon29 absolutely, i do ha a tpms so can keep close eye on it
I think it’d be hard to beat Michelin Road 6’s…I have them on Honda Hornet
@@hectorshouse7348 totally agree, I think Michelin without a doubt are the best tyres 👍........ Colin ☺️
@ yes, I have them on car and bike, I’ve never been disappointed
@hectorshouse7348 same here can't beat them

Hi Pete, ok I'll settle for 28 😂😂, yep, main roads right now is definitely the right choice, don't want to slide off 😂........ Colin ☺️
