  • Jump on for a ride along the delightful A396 'Valley Road' from Exebridge to Wheddon Cross on the heights of Exmoor.
    The steed is my 2023 BMW R NineT Scrambler - an ideal motorcycle for this road.
    And I have to mention the sad passing of legend DJ Steve Wright.

    Ooh I like that side view round the corners! Great ride 👍👍👍 - you are right about the potholes, the IQ nearly got swallowed whole the other day 😅.. 👍

      Dead chuffed you enjoyed Will 😊
      Side view is a one inch insta 360 - surprisingly good image 👍
      And yes, the roads are in a very worrying condition - it’s dangerous

    Seem to recognise one or two places there!

    One of my favourite roads. Shame about the poor surface and the summer traffic. Nicely filmed Chris 👍

      Very kind Steve, kits really worrying the speed of roads deteriorating - seems to be happening at pace

      Yes, the roads are getting ridiculous. That's part of the reason I bought a Himalayan, which I'll be on when I come down.

      A very good call - I have the new one in the back of my mind 😜

    Nice vid as always. A few 'moments' there on the potholes, 'repairs' and gravel which had me tensing up! If it's not potholes, it's average speed cams these days! We have so much more to think about. Looked quite fast on the video in parts! How are you finding the suspension? Have you had a play with it or is it all good at 'factory' settings? I wonder if we will ever have our smooth, clean roads back??

      Thanks loads, pretty legal on speed all the way 😊 24 fps gives ‘cinematic look’ ie blur 😂 so looks quicker.
      The roads are awful, it’s scandolous 😩
      Have it set at full soft - not good, I’m afraid

    Another bike video but the road was very bad Chris.

    As much off road as on road. You were lucky not to have to contend with a kamikaze pheasant.

      Always a possibility and always looking Nigel.
      Have to say I’m looking harder for Deer 😳

      I clipped the rear leg of a deer up on the moor. Woke me up and scared the willies out the van driver behind. @@FarmerTorque

    Better get a kidney belt or move to Spain because that suspension needs a little help for the UK roads.

    • @FarmerTorque
      @FarmerTorque  6 месяцев назад +1

      Very true Jerry - and the Spain suggestion isn't your worst! Little optimism in the UK at the moment. But, the suspension is poor !!!!!

    The Gov decided to spend 3billion on an M25 junction instead of repairing the roads we have.... wonder if they have similar minds to the BMW technical department 🤪🤬
