@@bennettsbikesocial I gotta be honest - the way Bennetts come over persuaded me to get a quote - which was my best option (so I gave you a big shout out on TrustPilot!)
That's fantastic, thank you! No insurance provider can promise to be the most competitive price for everyone as there are so many variables, but this is great news. Thank you! John
Being a subscriber to this channel is by far the best thing anyone who likes motorcycles can do! Thanks, John and the BBS team, for all you do and share with the motorcycle community. You all make a difference, and you're all truly amazing. Well done!! 👍👍
A comment about the Beeline(or similar devices) that most riders that uses their phones to navigate doesnt consider: in case of an accident if you ge injured and fall apart from your bike having your phone in your jacket could make a very importate difference!
John, the one name, and channel you can trust. Looking forward to the Sat Nav reviews coming up. Excellent work, as is the norm with your video's. Thanks for taking the time to put these together. 👍👍🏍🏍
2025? It bothered that my wife put the Christmas tree up already and stores have been pushing Christmas since September. Great title for the video. LOL!
These review videos just get better and better - I'll admit, I did whinge a bit early on about the length of the videos (sorry for that, I must have been in a bad mood that morning!), but they are literally all pretty much 'must watch' videos for every biker now (the airbag review video being particularly epic - one of best on entire RUclips!). Top research, top presentation, top advice....... top job my man!! 👍👍
Thanks very much! Our average view time is seven to nine minutes, so I always aim to get mine as short as possible, but find it a tricky balance between getting it all in, and trimming it down. Cheers, John
Got a great deal on the new DJI4 on black friday ..... now I am getting a new helmet mount that one a uk utube just put out again a good black Friday deal. Thanks for your great video alain & Yellow
Great I remember the very through test on rust inhibitor you did and I was very impressed, XCP and now as my SV 1000; custom fitted crap head lights,, I'll be buying a set of the Oxford spot lamps ☺️☺️😀👍☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
John.. I love your self-preservation when you said your mrs. gets the rage if she's cold," best whack that heated seat on the pillion quick.,, don't want her whacking you round the bonce on the ride. 😂
I have the Sky lift and wow now couldn't be without it . What a piece of kit . Great stream thanks 👍👍👍👍The Sky lift will lift over 20 models of bikes with the adaptors.
For a dashcam, I'd recommend a dedicated unit over an action cam. It will always be there and recording, hard wired, and you won't be taking it off to prevent theft when stopping at a store. I have the VSYSTO one but I'm sure others have entered the market now.
Great video, thanks John. I’ve been going back and forward on the beeline moto 2 since the summer as the reviews seemed so mixed. I don’t want a full screen or full time nav, just a helping hand on new roads and you make it seem perfect for that 👍
Honestly, I think it's perfect for that. Cheers, John

The beeline 2 hardware is really nice, the only thing I want better is the app. Its always a faff to change route or just stop to find a gas station or similar. Basically you have to cancel a trip completely to add a new waypoint which makes the trip tracker disjointed and it just seems like too much faff for what should be super easy. But like i said the hardware is great and as long as you have your route in it really nice. Used it both on a EU tripp (sweden to belgium through luxembourg) and for a daytrip on a rented bike in japan. That universal mount is great.
I'm in the US, I have a Trailer-In-A-Bag, similar configuration, though it has a little detachable ramp to load the bike, I do like the folding feature on the one in the video to angle it for loading, though I wonder how much harder that makes to push the bike up. But these things are very convenient. I fit mine in the boot of a 2003 Lancer Evolution sedan which was pretty amazing.
Thanks for another informative video. I stopped using washing up liquid for bike and car washing years ago, as I understand it contains salt, which is not great if not properly rinsed off, especially on aluminium alloy components.
It's a different type of salt. Check out the cleaners video, in which I speak to a Doctor of corrosion ruclips.net/video/9NsFLPDgFqA/видео.htmlsi=G-_jLCAELKFRIG-l
This is a fantastic video! Absolutely loved it, really interesting to watch. That Oxford heated seat looks like an absolute banger, I'll get one of them! I saw a review on "the other publication" that was also waxing lyrical. I can also assure you that the pixel 7 charging issues aren't a problem on the Pixel 9 - I had that and know exactly what you mean. I can definitely give you better ceramic coating advice if you fancy it. Infinity Wax Synergy Lite is the easiest one you'll ever use, and will last a year or so, safe on the plastics too! Or their wheel coating, called Revolution, is outstanding as an all round coating on bikes 👍
I can recommend peak design stuff. Ive used their action cam mounts for years. I also have the handlebar phone mount. Quality is excellent. Love the look of that trailer.
I wanted to get a maintenance device but I had no outside power so used my noggin and fitted a solar power Oxford solariser,, I would recommend them to keep your motorbike battery topped up if you have no access to electricity outside.
Very interested in Helen’s view on the Oxford hot seat, my wife is missing the heated seat she had on the ktm 1290 SAS and the bmw 1250gs we had before we got our Vstrom 1050? Looking forward to updates. Thanks for the video 👍
Just BEWARE that if you’re using any pricy ceramic coatings or getting proper expensive details done like treat and try to seal the paint, that dish soap will instantly erase that So if you’re paying to have your bright red Ducati detailed or diy adding a ceramic coating etc…don’t use dish soap unless that coating has already failed and you’re ready to apply/pay for a new one. Even if you use it quickly and it doesn’t completely destroy your coating it will rapidly accelerate its degradation and time to failure You can get ph balanced automotive soaps that do a wonderful job and won’t hurt your paint treatments
Good stuff, looking forward to those long term tests you mentioned, i went from xcp rust blocker to the clear coat and have no complaints. Now then, if it's a medical issue you need say no more but what is in your front right pocket?
Good call - I hadn't checked that, thanks! When I bought the bike I really couldn't see why SW Motech made a Givi mount, but I'm glad now that they do! Cheers, John
Great Video, Just wondered if this was included in your Apple Car Play/ Android review, AOOCCI C3 Motorcycle Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto. Other channels seem to be raving about it for only £70!!!! Although it doesn’t have the dash cam capability. But i would probably go with a hard wired dedicated dash cam any way
I haven't tried one, sorry! A lot of companies punt out a lot of them to influencers to get coverage, but I haven't had a chance to do any more of them recently. Cheers, John
To clean your helmet all you need is water mixed with a tiny drop of soap. I do wonder if Oxford just walk around foreign factories all day looking at what they can stamp their logo on.
Good point! Some of their gear does seem a bit of an exercise in rebranding, but a lot is very impressive. The Advances Rider Wear clothing is excellent, and the Atlas luggage is very well designed. A mate in the trade also says they have an excellent after-sales service. Cheers, John
@@GeordiLaForgery The heated seat is very similar to much cheaper (~£20) variants on chinese sites with few differences like the grip texture and triple the price. A lot of the products are just rebranded chinese goods with minor alterations. That being said they do have some specialist unique stuff like heated grips which is sort of their bread and butter products
nice video, but in my opinion the dji is superior to the acepro, I feel the acepro has a “soft” look to it, the dji looks more crisp and detailed. Granted I went from an ace pro 1 to an action 5 pro (so exactly the opposite to you)
Cheers! I haven't tried the 5 Pro, but early firmware looked a bit off. It's probably a lot better now. Will be interesting to see the new DJI 360 camera that seems to be coming! All the best, John
8:06 that’s a real shame. I’ve been considering switching to peak because the quad lock cases are absolute garbage and they know it and refuse to make the smallest improvements…guess it makes sense when the case is their only retiring revenue
Is the peak case just hard plastic? from the slight exposed bit at the top it looks like it may be just as bottom dollar cheap quality as the Quadlock. My Quadlock cases are DESTROYED by a $15 spigen. They make no effort to include minor details like relief cutouts for the volume rocker to prevent it from starting a stress feature there, so they always do, and there’s no reinforcement layer inside the rubber around the edges so all of the edges get weak and sag/flex then crack and break off pretty quickly… Only solution I’ve found that avoids having to put a big bulky universal mount from Quadlock onto a actual quality case, is to literally only use the case for rides, but who wants to swap cases for every ride
All Oxford products look familiar and have for years. I dont know how they haven't been sued out of business as all they seem to do is copy other peoples products.
To be fair, there's a very talented design team working on a lot of the products. Granted, not all, but... ruclips.net/video/lvfIwUCKQZo/видео.htmlsi=jczajdHC4YK0robF
the best gadget of the year award choice saved the video from a big fat thumbs down from me...got the first iteration of Beeline and still going well...in London at least...got me Garmin 550 for the rest of the world... but the rest of the suggestions...I mean come on...who buys battery minders for one...just ride the damn thing... ...the ABBA stand takes a good point too but too expensive for my needs...a good piece of kit though...you saying it lifts your VFR800 means I might invest in one - it'd be easier on the old knees when I'm chaining the oil on my VFR800 ride safe
BTW, I have a Pixel 7 also and I use a Quad-lock case, mount and wireless charger. I've dropped my phone several times (10+) no damage so far. It charges perfectly with the wireless charger mount every time, period (2+ years so far). Maybe it's not the phone, but the crappy case and phone mount. (?)
I'm pretty sure the phone would have survived in the Quad Lock or SP Connect cases, but what I was trying to say is that it's impossible to be sure as we can't be certain of the angle it hit the ground.
@bennettsbikesocial oh dear, causing you trouble? I thought the content had dried up. Today was a great day for my 750FV. Nitron R3 rear shock fitted (after having to remove the entire rear subframe...), stainless oil cooler lines, new ignition wiring and SBS RST Pads. Most chuffed.
You don't need to take the exhaust collector off like I did - I was trying to get the bottom of the linkage out, but couldn't I'm the end. With the wheel and end can off, and tank lifted, you can remove the linkage plates and take the shock out while lifting the swingarm to pass it underneath, above the collector. Cheers, John
0:53 designed for professionals how??? No offense intended I just hate rhetoric and talking points/hyperbole. That’s a battery maintainer with a serviceable 10a output for slow charging….pro’s use big old small suitcase sized 75/100 amp chargers with 250-400 amp “starter” functions built in. Big old things on wheels with a big handle like a carry on hard luggage piece basically. This seems like a quality maintainer…don’t see anything remotely “professional” about it. Next year they’ll call it “military grade”
Never put water on your bike, unless it's so dirty that you have no choice. Use an air line to remove debris and clean with furniture polish, WD40, ACF50.
Well, if by being paid a wage by Bennetts, then yes, I'm 'paid off'. But if you're trying to say that any of the brands featured in here paid me, then you're even more of an idiot than you're portraying yourself to be.
No. I went out and purchased SOME of the products, others were review items sent by the brands. If you think a professional product reviewer buys all the products they review then you're still confused. Equally though, if you think that means a review can't be independent and unbiased then it's a waste of time trying to explain to you
You really should be wearing a face mask and eye protection when applying rust blocker using a compressor and spray can. You are still breathing that stuff in and exposing your eyes even though you are outside.

Hi
Are there any action cameras that don’t break up the recordings into small 12 min chunks as I don’t know how to join them together .
Thanks .
It seems to depend on the resolution being filmed at, but there's lots of free editing software to piece them together

@@bennettsbikesocial So bennets went out and purchased all these products along with all the other products youve "tested"
?
No. I went out and purchased SOME of the products, others were review items sent by the brands. If you think a professional product reviewer buys all the products they review then you're still confused. Equally though, if you think that means a review can't be independent and unbiased then it's a waste of time trying to explain to you
Informative reviews 👍but please stop those irritating side camera views 😬.
If I didn't have a side video to cut to, how would I hide all the times I cock up?! And you wouldn't get the chance to have a nose in my garage
You really should be wearing a face mask and eye protection when applying rust blocker using a compressor and spray can. You are still breathing that stuff in and exposing your eyes even though you are outside.
Dumass expensive shiiiiet
First
Is that still a thing?!
Ask for help
