And could I have a issue as my phone will be powered on its quadlock wireless charge base will phone get confused if it's changing on base and I plug a usb wire in to phone and bike 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I had a 2006 cbf1000 I gave to my nephew the worst thing I done, they are amazing bikes

greqt video ! where did the video start from ?

Thanks for posting this, I’ve got to tackle it on my 2002 VFR this weekend. Also, as a Brummie living in exile down south, it’s great to hear a Midlands accent on a CZcams tutorial! 👍

£15 quid on fleabay and it came with the alllen key. Works great would love to know what the difference is between the cheap chinese one and the Atlas one, can't see it being £115 worth of difference.

Great vid mate. I love the clothing packing method, that’s proper that is.

Beautiful😍😍😍💯👌🏼🍀🙏🏼

Has the xl pro got a dash cam mode like the xl?

How long it can be in dash cam mode nonstop?

Timely video, looking to book for late Sept.

Hope you have a great time guys, i am venturing out also, have made my mind up - plenty of tablets and off i go to Upton Blues Festival (hope there is someone to get me off my bike haha when i get to the camp site haha)on 19th July, coming back 21st or 22nd - first trip out after a long, long time.

What’s the external memory bank you have there For downloading from memory cards without a PC? Looked ace. Links? Tutorial videos?

Can you explain whet you use and how you transfer the memory sticks please

great content, any chance of a video explaining the dual satnav setup, with mounting etc. Liking the idea of carplay and Garmin.

T-shirt, pants & socks…absolutely genius. 👍 Have a great trip lads and look forward to the vids.

Have a great European tour . I look forward to watching the videos. Ride safe

Nice vid Mav,hope you all have a great time,so who's going??? Ride Safe Mr B 🤘 PS No towel🤔 PPS,I wont do the "i didnt know you had dandruff" joke 😉😉

Enjoy the tour have a great time and ride safe 🏍️ Don’t forget if your going to the Black Forest you have got to have some Black Forest gateaux 🍰 👍

We’re currently travelling and in Freiburg, where there is a low emission zone. The Crit Air is accepted here. Austria tomorrow. Your video 3 days too late for us. Enjoy the trip.

Neat package of your clothes, looking forward to the tour

Much the same way as I roll my clothing but, after the first fold lengthways of the t-shirt, I lay the open socks and once folded u'pants on the t-shirt and then roll it all up. I find that makes a more even roll with no flapping loose ends. There's a German bike tourer that I follow(i'm bi-lingual), he did a similar video during lockdown and changed how I pack forever, even when flying with just handluggage. Wether you do it your way or his, both are incredibly space saving and worth shouting out loud to the world. One thing I like to have with me is light trousers where you can zip-off the bottom half of the legs. I get by with even less luggage, as I dont't need any of that electrical stuff, all I have is my smartphone. I like to leave the complcated world behind me when away on my bike, but am grateful to all the tech-freaks out there..., so that I have something to watch on cold winter evenings, or like now..., it's thrashing it down here with all the fun stuff, ie. thunder, wind and lightning So here's cheers to you for being a tech-freak and thx for this great video.

Very nicely done, nice and practical. Do similar myself with the clothes. Have a great trip all of you, ride and stay safe gents.

Have a great tour lads

Pragmatic, practical and honest packing - like it 👌

How different would your setup be if you were to take your wife/partner along?

Great video craig always helpful to see what others do when they pack. Only very small criticism is i personally wouldnt have shown you personal info on video (ie logbook driving licence insurance) any tom dick or harry could get your info. Other than that great video

Good video Craig, one essential I always take is a complete set of spare keys for ignition, petrol tank, top box etc

Nice to see your practical approach to packing luggage. I use my panniers almost like you do with the small bags beside the tank, leaving space for my camera and trainers My top box is small so only room for my helmet, documents and medication. All the clothes go in a 40 litre roll bag with loads of spare room.I also use the rolled t-shirt method but include a pair of boxers (folded in half) as well as the socks. The result is a bigger roll than yours but, like you, everything you need is there for the following day. I don't record or vlog so my electricals are somewhat less than yours. Have a great tour (mine is only 5 weeks away) and RSMF.

Your packing is ready neat, saves having to use compression packing cubes. Where did you get the tiny toothpaste tube from Craig?

The EHIC card has been replaced by the UK GHIC card. It’s available online and doesn’t take long to sort, though you might be too late now.

I have a 11” car play display in my truck. Getting the audio to play from my phone Bluetooth to the stereo Bluetooth was a pain at first. But once I got it figured out these CarPlay screens are fantastic value. I never use my Garmin nowadays.

I learnt of it reading The Alice Network. I weep every time l hear the name and add the martyres to my prayers

Are your bars swept a little more forward too? I feel like that would make it turn easier.

Cheers for the breakdown of your organization. So much more than my solo tours but highly educational. Something to keep in mind for the future

Very well done . Very sensitive.

I am glad that i was born 21 years after ww2 and never experiencrd something like this. Horrible

Mate, this was a great vid. I'm just doing exactly the same on my 800Fi only taken a week! doing it on the drive between rain storms and awaiting the chain splitter etc etc. But all went well until the easy bit of refitting the front sprocket cover, and after trying to see why its not going on the last 10mm I guessed its that rod. As this has taken an age I think the piston, just quietly crept out a little each day. But thanks to you I now know what to do! Incidentally I removed my sprocket cover in one piece, so fewer bolts to get wrong ( as you mentioned I think there's three long ones, but one of these is about 8mm shorter than the others o/a length probably about 110mm, so to be just a little shorter is annoying). But I will now remove the clutch bit to push the piston back and maybe the other bit if the mounting that fits over the sprocket nut doesn't align easily. Thanks again ....rains stopped so lets see if I can do this!

Just wondering what that chair is ?? 😊

Its very handy to be able to watch videos like this as its a great way to learn stuff you might not know before setting off on your trip. Got hurt in Switzerland a few years back with the price of a McDonalds

Excellent advice for using an old phone, I will be doing this, thank you very much, and a tip for you, keep your phone in your pocket not in a tank bag, then should you have an accident and you part company with your bike, you could end up in a ditch with a broken leg, your phone is within reach, and not another 100 meters down the road, ride safe many thanks

Most excellent doco!!!! Thankyou.

Great footage of the days ride. Hoping to get there this year.

Great Video thanks. From what i understand your NHS medical card has no validity now we are out of the EU, you need to pay for medical treatment by yourself or through insurance.

I got it new in February 2024 and I preferred it over the nx500. Cb500x is much more beautiful.

enjoyed listening to you mate - well done!

Why on Earth would you put your phone right in front of the clocks???? That's very dangerous. Apart from that nice review. And your dash displays a lot more than just your speed, for example warning lights.

Hi. Any links to buying that seat

Thanks for putting this together

What button do I need to press to save a particular videoclip if I am out on the road and something of interest happens and I need to save or "tag" that video clip? I have the Ghost XL PRO.

I bought the Drift XL PRO. The settings menu is the same as this XL camera. I did turn on the one touch recording following your recommendation. 👍 One thing that annoyed me about this camera, is that it does not have a fastening point for a safety tether on the body of the camera itself. From what I can see it is only possible to atach a safety tether on the mounting bracket wich is attached to the camera body with a screw. If tha screw gets lose, you lose the camera. Even very basic cheap electronic devices have tether anchoring points on the body of the device itself. I do not understand why these cameras do not have that feature. 🤷‍♂️ Badly needed for peace of mind for use on motorcycle helmets!!
