Congratulations Richy, we all are looking forward to many more adventures, thanks for taking us along!
Congratulations on the new bike matey! Can't go wrong with a big Honda!
Thanks Andy 👍
Well done Richy, good choice!
Looking forward to your next adventures with BL2.
Nice one Rich👌 Our mate Carol now works at A Bike Thing, she's out riding with us regularly. Enjoy the new bike. Noice 🏍 👍
Congratulations on your new bike big lad 2.0 I was also hoping for ktm but this was actually the logical successor to big lad 1.0 lots of fun and safe miles! Cheers from Holland
Congrats, Richy! Looking forward to following you and Big Lad II on new exciting adventures!
Congratulations on the ‘New Big Lad’. I thought you were going for a GS but having seen your videos on the Big lad and the love you had for the bike, it was obvious really you’d go the same way. Fair play and many miles of happy riding ahead.
Couldn't be happier to see you with another AT Richy, amazing bikes! sad to see the old Big Lad go but feels like the perfect replacement 😁
Nice job! Took my 2018 ATAS on a weekend off-road course last week. Brilliant! Really useful and bike performed amazingly. Protection essential. Especially Barkbusters. Amazing how they prop up the whole front end! Money well spent.
Nicely done sir! Hope you and your new bike have many happy miles together! 👍✊
Super happy with your choice. I picked up my new AT on 1st March and loving it. I went for manual box and really wanted the electronic suspension, but that combination wasn’t available so I have standard suspension. I would be quite keen to hear your opinion on standard vs electronic suspension, if you need ideas for future videos ;-)
Great choice again Richy enjoy the fun to come on your new bike.
Brilliant work by Steve and Tom, looking spot bolloc… a day or two before you saw Steve I was in with my bigger lad! Got some brilliant kit added too, Inc a J&H; super video. 👍👍
The illusion of video……Rich was in 3 weeks prior before you came in for your exhaust and lights.
Congratulations with the new Big Lad !!! I was so worried that you would end up with a Suzuki or another bike!! Good choice 👍🏻 best regards from Africa Twin owner in Norway 🇳🇴
Congratulations on the new bike Richy, i did have a feeling it just had too be a new bike lad 2. Enjoy it mate looking forward to seeing many many more new videos of you two out and about...👏👏👍👌 Regards Glenn👍
Absolutely can call him Big Lad 2!! As soon as those gold rims snuck out I knew I had it wrong, but super stoked you stayed with the Twin!!
What a relief I never doubted you would change to another brand you had us all worried for a while
Congratulations on your new steed LOVE IT
Nice bike! Looking forward to see where it takes you!
Look at you filming it as it went together! Congrats!
That bike looks beautiful, congratulations!
A couple of thoughts from me if I may....
> If you have any matt black bodywork, I would get it covered by some protective film. I have a matt black Goldwing and, once scratched or marked, it's just not possible to polish the defect out of matt paintwork (ask me how I know!)
> ACF50 is brilliant stuff and I use it on all my bikes....but it does mean any dust or grit will stick to the bike and soon make it look a bit grimy...even if the bike never sees rain. You also have to take great care removing said dust and grit in order not to put microscratches and swirls into anything on the bike that it's stuck to.
Other than that, enjoy the BLT (Big Lad Two)!
Gratz on Big Lad 2.0, you look really chuffed with it. I've had a can of ACF50 for a couple years as it lasts ages and still have some left,.i used a detailing brush but picked up a tip from TeapotOne which is to spray a load on a microfibre cloth and just wipe bike down. Works great. Use it after every big wet wash, but not after dry washes using Waterless wash and wax. Hope you will be very happy with 2.0. I got it wrong! 😂👍
Great relief😅 You were the inspiration for me to buy a Africa Twin AS DCT myself as you were so fond of this bike. No regrets since. During insurance-stop I love to watch your vids of the Orkney and Shetland islands. It’s peace giving. Many safe trips for you and the ones you care about.
Congrats on the new bike! Sad to see Big Lad go, but lovely to finally meet Big Lad Two - why not call him BLT, after all its as tasty to look at as a BLT sarnie?! 😂
Never change a winning team Ritchy 🤷♂️ May the force be with you on this bike also 🤙🤞☀️☀️
Thank you
Doesn’t matter to me what you ride a bike is a bike. Looking forward to your new adventures
2 weeks away from picking up my ‘23 AT Adventure Sort ES , manual. Here in Canada it will be dark grey metallic and black . Very understated look . Looking forward to my summer break in and rides . Currently still snow and lots of road gravel on the high passes here in southern B.C. It will stablemate with a 1290 S . Working on the custom ideas for protection and bags ( thinking soft panniers Mosko ) . Will wear the stock tires out and then decide on whats next . Cheers to all from Canada. RS . ☃️
Happy riding Richy. I thought the Tiger might have been in with a chance, but you chose well. Enjoy.
Sweet ride!And very cool shop your tech has there. Looking forward to seeing more. I hear the cornering lights work well on those that would be cool to see. Lots of cool bits you've added.
Oh yes. The cornering lights are amazing. I’ll try and emphasise it on a vid. And yes, the shop - or barn - is too cool!
It’s a Twin Bro !! Congratulations from a GS rider. Whatever makes you happy,that’s the right bike. Greetings from Berlin,Jim
Exactly Jim! Cheers mate
Glad it's another Honda, didn't expect anything else really! 👍
Glad to see you've NOT FOLLOWED THE SHEEPS and got a GS!!! The AT is awesome and it's brilliant to see you with another. I really do miss mine every day. And I really miss how amazing they are on fuel. Enjoy your next adventure with "Lassy" ???
Baaaaaa
Double baaaaaa 🐑
Well done Richy on your new bike you got me, I seriously thought you were going to go down the BMW route I always liked the Africa twin once again great choice.
Brilliant Richy. i was right last week. big lad 2.0 is looking good.
Mate YES!!!! Knew youd stick with the Twin! And the ES as well, very nice!!! Bring it on!!
Once I was past the initial shock, I expected a Norden, I am delighted. A beautiful bike
He is a beautiful specimen, love the amber light round the Honda badge. Such a good brand. Happy miles.
Congrats Richy... perfect team ❤❤❤
when I saw your last video, for a moment I thought ohh no he’s going for a beamer too, but that thought quickly disappeared as soon as the lads in the garage started removing the extra bits from Big Lad One 😂
congrats, well done, have a lot of fun with Big Lad Two, stay safe! 👋👍💪😊
Awesome mate , looks proper naughty with all the lights and the SC sounds great 👌, ACF50 is indeed a great protection product , also take a look at XCP rust blocker and XCP clear coat I`ve been using these for years and IMO I think they just have the edge on ACF , looking forward to seeing you and Big Lad 2.0 on up and coming adventures , safe riding Pal.
Congrats! You cannot go wrong with the Africa Twin. I would struggle to live without DCT ;-) I am spoiled.
You should spray the panniers with linex, or whatever truck bed liner you have over there. You’ll get that mat black look with a considerable increase to durability too
Interesting. Thank you.
I bet your pleased as punch Rich!! Looks like a Christmas tree with all those lights on 😂 Good times ahead 👍
thank the Lord for one minute I thought you had gone to GS Dark side, Steve from a Bike thing really knows his stuff great guy and what great company he runs, absolute brilliant, been to his shop personally such a nice guy with the best coffee. Nice one Richy
Yes exactly. He has such an amazing set up. I want to go and just hang out down there haha
Well Rich, it had to be didn’t it? Wouldn’t be the same looking at you on a different machine. Looking forward to the naming of the new steed. Thank you👍
Congratulations. Beautiful machine. Have the same in 2022 ballistic black 🥰 Love it. You could name it “Big Lad, the second of his name” 😊
Im happy that you stayed with the AT. Best choice
Lovely! ⭐ 👍 As I remember it you didn't have the Showa EERA on the Big Lad, so that should be new on this. Apart from that I don't think you'll notice all that much difference compared to the old (maybe narrower seat on this, can't remember exactly).
A very good choice, wish you all the best with her.
Did think it was the new V Strom1050 under the cover , a tantalising glimpse of gold wheels. Can't wait for your new adventures on your new bike
Nice one Richy , some decent gadgets on the new big hondo .👍👍😁 looking forward to both of your new adventures .
Great video we can understand why you stuck with the AT1100 at times I miss my old one ❤good luck with her/him
nice one Rich love the AT glad you didn’t go boring BM 😊
Absolutely Mega! Again! 🤩🤩. I'm 24k miles on mile since last March now and love it. Had the Anakee Wilds for a spell and although they hook up well in the dry, be careful on damp and wet roads, there bloody deadly hahahaha.
Thanks for the heads up!
Ah nice one you crafty git.😉 Stay safe and enjoy to the fullest!👌🏍
Bit disappointed.
It’s the same bike .
Same colour too .
You had a chance to rock the boat and you didn’t.
We fear change .
I don’t want to change my bike either.
Looking forward to seeing your adventures on this too . ❤️ 🏴
No surprise youre still on a AT, i couldnt quite believe Big Lad was going. Maybe Big Lass but saying youre out for a ride on.... could open up allsorts of issues.
Bike looks lovely Richy.
Haha brill!
Fantastic, Richy🤩 Congrats💥 I hoped, but didn’t believe you would. Beautiful bike and as you say, it’s you👍 What should you name this lad? I miss Egon so much, so why not😂😂
Haha
Lovely job Richie, would be odd for sure to not see you on an AT 😀
The BFG, looks great! Looking forward to watching more adventures
Wonderful to see it's not a GS but I do miss the VFR800 Vtec. I'm sure you'll have some great times on Big Lad 2.0.
Wahey! I was kind of expecting a GS, so this is a pleasant surprise
Was so convinced you go to the bmw gs so pleased you stuck with the African twin enjoy the ride mate 🤘
ha ha i wasen't exspecting that one convinced my self you had gone for a gs or tiger .fair play to you as you say it ticks all the boxes for you well done rich .
Was hoping it was going to be angry and orange, but another AT is a great choice. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures on it (and on the awesome VFR ❤ ). 👍
Bit disappointed . Is it 2023 model. Honda only make dct which you are used of.
I had a run of bad luck with my bikes, my tiger 900 destroyed itself in only 22k miles in year one, so I got a KTM that was a liability so now I just picked up my Honda AT CRF1100 and so far I’m loving it! Perfect for our long distance touring videos
Congratulations Richy, what a beautiful bike. I knew it would be an Africa Twin, you are a Honda man by hart. I love the SC project exhaust.
Nice one Richy! I was hoping for another Honda! All the best with that one bud!
Africa Twin is a great bike and you've had some amazing journeys with Big Lad hopefully this new one (Mr H) will treat you the same.
Great to see the new Africa twin it's a beast looking forward to more adventures
Congrats!!
I’ve had Honda lawnmowers, strimmers, blowers, bikes, outboard motors and generators - they always start! That’s always a good start to the day!
congratulations on the new bike mate !!
Thank you!
Well Richy, I got it wrong but thank god you stuck with the Africa Twin, all you need now is the engine guards, the stainless steel radiator grill which looks great and the Black tank pads which will finish it off brilliantly. Health to ride Richy
Thanks Gavin. Really don’t like the black tank pads, and had the stainless guards on Big Lad - so yeah, may get those again 👍
Brilliant Richy! Big Africa Twin fan myself. Health to ride buddy 🤙
Nicely done! Love the new graphics!
Wow thought you were going gs route glad you stuck too the Africa twin looks stunning mate 👍
I'll admit, those Honda badge indicators are niiiice!!
Lovely bike. Ride safe and be lucky!
Congratulations. Sure u had the gold rims showing to make us think it might be the GSA. Love the new bike.
Congrats on your new bike Richy,he looks the part. Can’t wait for this years new adventures. And the name should be the Big "Bastard" 👍😎
Congratulations on the new bike.
Do like the extra details...and yes the tinted headlights just bring together the front end
As for a name, that's got to be a personal choice, but I had some thoughts.
What about something related to the Outer Hebrides, a place name, the name of the cottage you stayed in etc?
I looked up the name of the ferry, as an idea... it wasn't too good for a bike.
Just a thought as a tribute to the Big Lad. 😊
Nice one Rich...was a bit worried you had defected...😂😂
lol, I wondered why you bothered to remove your stuff from the big lad, now it makes perfect sense.
Nice to see it’s an Africa twin. Considering a swap of machine myself but can’t decide!
Bike looks fantastic pal 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🏍️💨
I thought you were going to get a BMW, I’m glad you kept choosing the big lad. I love my ATAS too!!
Well that surprised me I have the 2020 Honda Africa, twin adventure sport DCTES I got about 9000 miles on it now I just love it
Nice to see you stay with the Africa twin I bought Mine watching your videos right after you bought yours I have not won regret absolutely love it
2.0 looks like a perfect 10 RV. I am looking forward to many adventures with you from the comfort of my sofa. Happy adventuring to you and ?.
They are absolutely beautiful bikes those Africa Twins, I was trying to buy one with the options you got on yours and every time I found one like the options I was wanting it was sold as soon as they came in. But I ended up with the new KTM 1290 Super Adventure R like you tested last year which I am totally thrilled to have, but I think I know what you’re talking about if you could trust yourself when riding the 1290 SAR, if you’re meaning probably totally destroying the rear tire and sending you into the landscape.
I’d also be thrilled to have one! The only bike to tickle my bits, for sure. I just know I’d “misbehave” all the time, which, inevitably would only end one way.
Congrats on your new Big Boy. I really thought you’d have gone for the KTM SAR, following your test comments lol
Congrats on the new bike Richy! How about Gerald or Geoff, reliable and dependable names!
Congrats for the new bike mate. Nice choice. It could be África Twin!! ✌️💪
Drive safe!
Mate, i follow all your videos and as a fellow ATAS '23 (new) owner, I am just thrilled for you and to see your new beautiful machine 😍 must admit, it did break my heart a bit to see Big Lad go, just as I recently bought ATAS.. but this video will give me good sleep knowing you (one of my inspirations) went for AT again 😊
Have a great time and ride safe!! 👍🏽
Thank you Akhil! I appreciate your time 👍👍
I can’t tell you how happy I am you stayed with the Africa twin. I’m a “GS boy” and I love itt, but it does come with a stereotype attached to it.
The Honda colurway is magnificent and video will never do it justice. Ride him/her/they safely and live the dream. Look forward to see you out.
Congratulations Richy! Glad that you chose the Honda AT AS again. I’ve my second one, too. First was a 2020 (tricolor) and now a 2022 (matte black). As you did your testride, I thought the new windshield is a little more noisier then your „old“ Ermax Sport?
Well I haven’t ridden it (other than this short vid) so not noticed, yet. Think I’m going to use it for the Season Opener this weekend, so will see. Always got the Ermax to pop back on if need be 👍
Hi Richie nice to see the new steed👌. I think the name would have to be
THE BIG LASS😂😂 anyway looking forward to watching more of your adventures on the new bike. All the best. Paul.
Them hills, then roads, that sunshine. You know how to make a D’shire boy feel homesick mate 😂
Congrats Richy she/he is a beaut… best of luck with it👍🏍️
I did think you may go for another, cos you an' Big Lad were bloody good together, I'm well chuffed for you. They are fantastic bikes those AT's and the things you have added are really cool and enhance Big Lad to being even better. GodBless you Richie, happy riding and new adventures together.
Thanks Paul 👍
Very nice... Many miles of smiles ahead
