    I haven’t been that cold in a while, but it’s bloody horrible when it gets in your bones. It creeps in over hours, and it takes a good while to thaw out!
    This is proper motorcycling- pack up and head off!

    Hi Emily and Joe. It's pleasing that you found the Interceptor perfectly good enough for what you asked of it. A 'real' motorcycle... ? The two of you seem so in synch with each other. Always a joy to tune in. My very best as always. x

    Hi, we love a motorcycle road trip. You've got some nice DJI cameras, wireless microphones & adapters. You've got some great footage & audio. I hoped you pulled them all off in time when it started to rain. We've made the mistake of leaving ours on too long in the wet #expensive

    • @TheWurks
      @TheWurks  4 месяца назад +1

      We managed to save most of our equipment, hence why there's no footage of the rain. We did lose one of the old mics to water damage, it doesn't charge well anymore, we were relieved it wasn't the newer set! I can see why you love a road trip, we had a blast.

Loved the fact that every morning at the fuelling up point. I was spending roughly £13 whilst my mate on his MT10 was spending double that amount 😊

    So, Emily, any plans on doing the CBT? Biggest benefit of having your own bike is having your own set of panniers… problem solved!
    My wife got her license at age 43, and the only thing she regrets about it is that she didn’t do it earlier.

      I have played with this idea on and off over the years. 3 years ago I did my CBT on my Mutt Mongrel. I was pleased I proved to myself I could if I wanted to, but we always go places together and I found I couldnt be as nosey when I had to focus on not crashing. I do often get fomo at events though wishing I could ride. You never know, I might give it a go another day. I am enjoying being able to capture good footage for the channel as a pillion.

    Love my INT in Arizona with GIVI side cases, and RE touring seat (looks like stock) upgrade. 2 years 19,000 miles. Almost traded it for a 2014 BMW F800GT which I test rode and really liked, but: I don't really do that much long distance highway stuff, just occasionally and the INT does just fine, the INT is really nimble and controllable and a pleasure for my work commute, and I can do valve clearance check and oil change easily myself. It constantly gets complements too. It's modern but has a lot of character. Hey, should I order some proper "INTERCEPTOR" side decals to replace my deficient "INT" ones? What would be the best way to remove? (should have done this months ago....LOL)

      I don't think its the wrong bike. I toured extensively on my '79 Bonnie. Similar do-it-all format. I'd be tempted to get a rack and a tank bag though. Mind you I've never had a bike with a windscreen, so that might make it easier in my advanced years.
