    Did anyone else sing " thunderbolts and lightning,very very frightening me. Galileo "?😂 No just me 🙄 I love that your bike is different from the herd. Can't wait to see what happens with the tent. Very much interested to see if there's a tent that could ever convince me to camp 😁

    Hi Phil, great to see you visit our neck of the woods! Loomies is good, but Rykas edge of Dorking is where loads of bikers also hang out for a great food experience. Was great to see you riding through Petworth and then stopping at the quaint petrol station I also use! I live in Horsham so tour West and East Sussex most weekends, I also sold my beloved Firestorm for a more upright Kawasaki Z750S as better on back and fuel. I think watching your vlogs, I am going to save for a Bennelli also, and buy some camping gear! 🤣 Loving your new bike, adventures and travel, glad you chaps had a great time! 👊👍😎

      @wsmv  7 месяцев назад +1

      Ho Robin, thank you so much. I love the trk, and was sad when I changed it for the multistrada. The trk is one of the best bikes I've ever owned but thought the trip down to Italy and back this summer with a pillion may be hard work.
      I will be heading back through Belgium on the way home, I love Belgium and have stayed in brugge many times, this time we will be staying in Ghent which is a beautiful city.
      I'm sure you will love the trk if you get one, stay safe my friend 👍

    Stacks of kudos to you, Weston, for going to BOGNOR REGIS!
    I've often thought about camping (although not with a motor cycle) but my grey cell has always flipped back to my days in the TA when we used to 'bivvy' on the likes of the Northumberland Moors. Being 6' 3" my feet always protruded from the end of the bivouac so I had to keep my boots on to avoid getting frostbite of the toes.
    Obviously though modern tents are a galaxy away from army bivouacs except, perhaps, your Ebay jobbie.

      Hi Ian, I am so sorry but I must have missed it, I will go and look now because the gearing is the only thing I find doesn't work too well, I've ordered a smaller rear sprocket to lower the cruising revs, hope that works.

      All good. At the end of the day, it's what works for you, m8. I'm looking after a multistrada at the moment, and even though it's a fantastic bike and an absolute weapon. I'd still rather ride the TRK. Just a wonderful all-rounder and for the money, it allows me to have the enfield as well . 2 great bikes for the price of one.

I like stepping outside of the norm, obviously it doesn’t always work out, but I think it will be fun. I’m pleased you don’t get any free stuff, the thought of you having to be almost topless in your videos or with your nipples poking through your jacket would make me quite ill! I love the high risk camping gear, especially given the shitty British summers weather, should ensure we get to laugh at your choices in the future.
