    Well done 'One Guy ...' I know, the first couple of trips can feel a bit weird and especially with a new bike there will be all sorts going on.
    It is important that you get out there, choose life and enjoy that fantastic machine. Great video too.
    Cheers man.

      Thanks very much. Head was a bit troublesome in parts but nothing major, thank goodness. Generally a cracking trip and great head meds once I'm up and running on the road. 👍👍👍

    Looks like you have had great weather, which makes the difference! From one Rocket 3 GT owner to another, you will now know, not to pass a petrol station when less than 75 miles range, as when you are on your sort of trips, you just never know when the next petrol station will appear & in what village !! Try and get someone to make you an extension to your sissy bar, that way you maybe able to reposition your back pack as the Triumph one does not take to much in size/length. Good luck on the remainder of the trip - those 20 mph villages are a pain - the main reason we don't venture to many times to Wales !!

      You'll see the weather change ! I now know what all of the Rocket owners are talking about !!!! OMG do they throw up crap. Unreal. Small price to pay for such a mega bike. Don't care. You think i would have learned by now about petrol stations the amount of times I nearly run out. O well. I'll look at the backrest situation defo, just wanted to get the first trip all done and see what the situation was. Thanks very much. Go safe.

    Glad yr liking the new bike Scott. The smile says it all. Two random facts. 1. After seeing the sissy bar bag on your RK, ive bought a similar one and its fantastic, so thanks for that. 2. Went to that strangely named place on the same day (I think) that you would have done. Its absolutely stunning...
    Looking forward to the rest of the trip

      @1guyaharleyandadrone657  2 месяца назад +1

      i think they are maybe about the same. Absolutely terrible 🤣 I mean they are both big engines but I will pay more attention to the mpg and overall range next time. I was just so happy to be out on the first trip with it. At least I can see when I'm running out on this where the Harley has never had a working fuel gauge.

    Why is it that every new bike now whatever the make needs its first service at 600 miles. I'm sure this didn't used to be the case.

    Lol if you ran out of fuel 200 yards from a petrol station on a very slight uphill gradient you'd be goosed on that bike, as much use as a chocolate firegaurd to me that would be.

    Scot me ol fruit why do you rely on your sat nav when it doesn't work half the time. always carry a map.the AA map..if I'm going to the lakes I just cut out the map of the lakes and put it in a laminate sheet and if my sat nav not working I just look at the map. me and my good lass enjoy watching your adventures even though you do get lost.lol

      Half the point of it is getting lost and having a useless sat nav. It's good fun. Sometimes doesn't exactly feel like it at the time but I'd miss it. Thanks both for watching.

    Beauty or beast? How about a beauty of a beast.
    This mileage calculation back to the shop. Did you factor in another ten percent for getting lost? 😊

      Well every days a school day. Thanks for that, pity I didn't get there 🤣The mileage was WELL over but they were fine with it and most importantly they washed my bike for me as I hadn't done it 👍Thanks
