#royal enfield himalayan is this the future iconic bike ????
zhlédnutí 234Před 16 hodinami
The Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the bikes that you either love or hate, but despite its haters, it has a huge amount of followers around the globe, I think this bike will always be appreciated and will become the icon of the future alongside so many other classic bikes
#royal enfield a ride and a chat

after a really happy day, I had the opportunity to get out for a spin on the Himalayan, blue skies, no rain and lots of sunshine, what more could you ask for
#royal enfield ive been to the dealer
zhlédnutí 1KPřed dnem
so yesterday afternoon I went to the Royal Enfield dealership up in Brest, I was in heaven looking at all the bikes, it didn't even matter about the rain, but with so many models to choose from its a hard decision, the question is what bike will I choose

so last night my faithful old Transalp and I parted company, it's been a great 15 years together, but I felt it was time for a change, hopefully she will serve the new owner as good as she did me

zhlédnutí 227Před 14 dny
so maybe it is time to say bye-bye to my trusty old Transalp, watch the video to see how I feel about it, plus the Himalayan seat cover is it any good? and what bike might I be replacing the Transalp with, if any
#royal enfield himalayan a croaky ride
zhlédnutí 111Před 14 dny
so I needed to get out on the bike today even though I sound very croaky, I needed to pop down to a small motorcycle store to try and sort out my front light on the Himalayan, it should have been replaced a few months back under warranty, but I'm beginning to think its going to be a waste of time, but at least a ride in the sunshine and fresh air helped to clear my head

at last, I got my boots on, so what better day to get out for a ride, with the temperature approaching 30° it makes sense to get the air text jacket on and cool off on a nice coastal ride, hope you join me along the way
a bit of a chat and a rainy day
zhlédnutí 55Před 28 dny
I haven't been around for a while, due to various reasons, so I thought it time I popped up and said hello, and what better day to do it but when its raining

after a busy day, what better way to unwind than hop on the little 350 Meteor and have a little ride, plus a good opportunity to have a look at a little river just up the road from me, and then carry on down to a little harbour town

Cracking looking day. Gigi is just purring away there.😊 Unfortunately I can’t get access to garage .😢 Enjoyed the chat. Best wishes.
Hi Mark, yes it was a great day, unfortunately we're now back to rain, ....... Colin 😊
Another cracking ride Colin, I’m surprised you’re selling the 350 whatever you are going to get has a lot to live up to 😂 we’ve had a cracking weekend up here in Scotland and I’ve put plenty of miles on the bikes while I can, as you say autumn is definitely coming, ride safe and all the best 👍
Hi Mike, we've certainly got to get out when we can and right now the weather seems to be in our favour, this summer has been a washout for most of us, you never know, maybe we may get a calmer winter, I would imagine winter where you are can be harsh but beautiful at the same time, the meteor is a cracking bike, it's just me that needs the change, take care ...... Colin ☺️
Lovely bit of coast mate as we are down the road a bit at Quiberon and the suns come out as it poured from Dinard to 10 mins before we got to Quiberon, and loving it, in the campervan though, oh well 😊…. Pete🇫🇷
Hi Pete, glad you've got the sun, the coming week is a mixed bag, but you should be ok, round by me as shown in the video it was so quiet 🤐, anyway you 2 have a great time ......... Colin ☺️
Another lovely day Colin 😊 did you say the bike you rgetting ? I didn't hear if you did 🤔ahh the house to yourself will be great , its a great sence of freedom even if you do nothing 😅my back is gone again so no rock climbing or skydiving this week for me 🤭😁 congrats on another little one in the family 🎉👍
Hi Harry, yes great weather then but now it's back to rain ☔, now I did say I know what the new bike will be, but all will be revealed in October 😂, thanks for watching......... Colin 😊
Hi Colin. Have to agree with you on the bike! Also want to say congratulations on your new grandchild and a Happy Birthday. The other thing is I also tip the scales a bit so there we go. Cheers!
Cheers Bruce, yes I'm a definite lover of royal Enfield's and there's nothing wrong with being a bit cuddly........ Colin ☺️
Morning Colin good rundown on a great bike, and I would go one step further the whole single cylinder air cooled range like the old bullet will be around long after and sought after long after the water cooled bikes have taken over and the air heads become a distant memory back at RE head office, like the continued popularity of of the old airhead Beemer flat twins simple, efficient, easily done up, and spares aplenty, …. Pete 🇫🇷
Morning Pete, totally agree I love the simplicity of the single cylinder, simple in every sense, and those old beemer flat twins, were and still are a great bike, loads in France as well, .......colin 😀
I love your honesty within this video... and really feel for you.. I've a Hunter so I look forward to think I might have a shade more room . ? I did see a guy use cable ties just to hold up the bit's and pieces out the way. As you said you could just cut the video... then start again in saying there we are tops off ! Your a genuine person.
Hi, and thank you for your comment, I think the hunter may have a bit more room, it's just a bit fiddly, I always show the complete thing, if it goes wrong or I struggle I show it, at least then other people know what to expect, thank you for watching........ Colin ☺️
You're right on 👍, thank you for your showing of a genuine video and a genuine guy.
That stop sign is very strange , I reckon a rich farmer got it done 🤔 brown envelope time 🫢 great to see finally some good weather down your way .Himalayan is purring along nicely 👌
Hi Harry, I bet you're right, a back hander if I ever saw one, yes at last although be it a touch late we have the ☀️, I love the Himalayan, it's a pleasure to ride, thanks for watching.......... Colin ☺️
Firstly Colin. Congratulations 🎉❤🎉. It’s your video, so you do what you think is best. I do like the odd picture of yourself,as riding. But, I can’t speak, as I got no idea, as how to transfer the video from the camera, to edit etc. So, I will remain basic, and just use my phone😂. Oh we got blue skies, but workmen are working on the driveway so, tuff, I won’t be going out😂😂😂. I spotted a very low mileage MT 07 Yamaha, it’s been lowered, so Wee Mark, will drive the 2 hours to sit on it, to see how it feels. It’s got a few extras, but it’s basically a 22 model, on a 23 plate. 240 miles only. But it’s priced at £500 less than a new one😮. Anyway, best wishes, and best wishes to your new family member😊
Morning Mark, thank you, she's beautiful, must take after her grandad 😄, the Yamaha certainly seems worth a visit, good to hear the garden work is going well, looking forward to seeing the progress, I think I might just use the front camera, ......Colin ☺️
Morning Colin / grandad 😂 nice ride out mate, cracking afternoon yesterday, we got out in the camper for the day walking the dog, going for a ride today though, still procrastinating over getting another bike mainly because as soon as I get out on the classic all the reasons I tell myself why I need to change go out the window, couple of mates have said don’t get rid of your 350 you will regret it, perhaps I already have all the bike I need, 50 years 8 months n several days of looking 🤣 to be honest mate we ride the same, on the same sort of roads, is there really a need for something els ! OF COURSE THERE IS 😂 as soon as you walk in the dealership 🤣🤣🤣🤣 enjoy your visit with your new granddaughter mate catch yer later …. Pete 🇫🇷
1st, congrats on your new granddaughter. I found your channel while trying to find good content of the Himalayan. I then found I enjoy watching all your content. While the Himalayan is my favorite bike in my 50 yrs. of riding, to grow your channel, I understand your need to choose a bike that people are interested in learning more about. A tough choice with all that Royal Enfield has to offer.
Morning Dan and thank you, I love my Himalayan it's a bike that for me is one of a kind, I love royal Enfield bikes, I suppose it reminds me of my much younger days, I must admit I'm struggling to decide, but there's no rush, thank you for watching, take care....... Colin 😊
Congratulations to you on the birth of your new granddaughter. You don't get frost on the inside of windows anymore unless you still have single glazing and no form of central heating. I like the forward facing vlogs. The rearward may be of interest if you were off roading or travelling with a partner. 6:08
Thank you, I remember those cold nights and mornings back in the 60s when I was a kid, definitely no double glazing or Central heating in those days, thanks for your input on the camera, makes sense, thank you, ....... Colin ☺️
Yeah Paraffin heater in the hall warming the rooms upstairs and later the solid fuel back boiler and radiators. Hard times, good times. Really enjoyed that trip and the left mirror gave all the rear view needed, no offence!!
No offence taken 😂 it's great to get your views, we still use paraffin heaters here in France, a touch more modern 😂, but to be fair the winters aren't that bad, ........ Colin ☺️
Morning Colin your summing up of buying a new bike was spot on especially the first few months of ownership of a RE comes with mixed emotions, but as time passes I love the way my classic performs, it’s only the top speed that I feel is wanting, so I start looking and wondering what else can I have, then I go out on the classic and the speed thing is not a issue, which means I procrastinate which is something in respect of bikes I never did, “liked it buy it”used to be a rule thumb that’s how you end up with a garage full of bikes n scooters. Have I possibly found all the bike I need in the 350 classic 😳 after 50 years 8 month and a few days of trying 😂😂😂😂 your rides and mine are the same with the occasional longer trip do I need something faster ! Have I grown up at last ? 🤣. Snap so did I, all our family holidays were in Cornwall polzeath being one of our fav destinations, we would all pile in our commer van and dad would drive all night from London, good days, Sarah and I both remember pulling the net curtain off the frost on the inside of the window 🤣 a simpler time and fun time. …. Pete🇫🇷
Morning Pete, I'm in full agreement of everything you say, we seem to have a lot in common as we've passed through our lives, I spent so many great summers in Cornwall especially 1976, what a roaster, your classic is a real eye catcher, and you have the camper, enjoy life to it's full, but never stop the dreams 🥰, ....... Colin ☺️
Congratulations on your granddaughter!. Looking for to see another addition to the family be it the Gorilla or the Shotgun also 🙂
Evening Pete, thank you, 2 good choices there, I've got to be honest, I'd have all the Enfield bikes if I could, ........ Colin ☺️
The 411 is a unique bike, not really anything else like it. They should have upgraded the motor and kept it, maybe used an upgraded motor on a new bullet 500 also. The new 450 seems to be in a class of a dozen or so other competitor bikes, just my thought.
Hi Larry, I am with you all the way, this bike is one of a kind, as you rightly said an upgraded engine would if been great, thanks for watching........ Colin ☺️
Congratulations on your new granddaughter, that’s the only problem with Royal Enfield, too many nice bikes to choose from 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing the 650 classic if they get it right it’ll sell like hot cakes, fingers crossed 🤞 all the best Colin 👍
Afternoon Mike, thank you, You are right, Royal Enfield certainly makes some nice bikes and I am spoilt for choice, but I'm in no rush, so I have lots of time to think it over, a 650 classic in my opinion would certainly be a winner ........colin 😀
@@mikehatswell3961 afternoon Mike 😊
@@PeterHolland-mu7yn evening Peter I hope you are well 👍
Great news re being a grandad again Emma a lovely name, 😊😊😊😊😊 lol love the tee mate send it on over with the other one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thought you were going to make an announcement re new bike, I’m even more impressed now with the gorilla 10k service intervals 😳 that is a step up, I like the look and the function of the gorilla, but also the shotgun, just need to take one out also the super meteor I’ve a feeling that I may be most comfortable on the SM with the forward controls and my knee - knees…. Enjoy your granddaughter mate I was entranced with mine still am she’s 16 now ….. Pete 🇫🇷
Afternoon Pete, can't wait to meet our baby Emma, although these things can't be rushed, I have so many tee shirts with different slogans on them, it gives the wife something to do, I was quite impressed yesterday at the dealership, she never moaned once 😂, although I did have to take her for a drink before returning home, I think I may be wrong about the service interval its 5000kms for the general items and 10,20,40,000 for the tappets, but that's a huge improvement, I know what you mean with regards to the forward controls, but in my case they actually make me feel a little uncomfortable when I'm on Gigi, but I do have short fat hairy legs 😂😂, I found the shotgun to be a little clumsy, again my opinion, I think for any low cruiser forward control bike you need to be tallish and I'm certainly not , so I may have time to get a little coastal ride in this evening, you never know .........colin 😀
I never heard of the gorilla from Enfield..i must google it 😊cheers Colin
Afternoon Harry, neither had I, in fact, I'm not sure how you actually pronounce it, it is spelt guerrilla, I think its a really nice looking bike and its got the new Sherpa 450 engine the same one that's in the new Himalayan, cheers for watching ........colin 😀
Can't tell how glad I'm to discover your video. just tried the same on my 93' transalp but I break the pressure plate as I was tighting the plate at 12nm as described. I've already ordered a "new"one but I'm now afraid doing the same mistake again next time. I have juste watched your video and can't understand what I did wrong. Any advise? I did the criscrox tight being gentle with the bolts and TAC no more pressure plate...
@@Axel-bb8go , hi I'm sorry too hear of what happened, was the plate the old one? if it was it may have been weak, and to be fair it would have been very difficult to spot, you did everything right by your description, is your torque wrench correct? I've seen this happen in the past where you set it to the specified settings but it over tightened it, worth a check, with a new plate you should be fine, let me know, thanks for watching, good luck.,....... Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 thanks so much for your quick response. I've installed the new one. Set my torque bare to 8nm, I don't dare to go over.
@@Axel-bb8go , hi I'm sure that will be fine, it's always a bit worrying whenever you torque a bolt, especially the small ones, I'm glad you sorted it, ........Colin ☺️
It ain't over here mate, let us know if you find it!.
@@UKPete, I found it at last, we've got sun ☀️☀️☀️☀️
@@droneon29 👍at last!. Quick get out and enjoy it while you can.
It will be a shame to see your Transalp go. you really have looked after her!.
Hi Pete, well I thought 🤔 about it for some time now, it's been with me for 15 years, I just felt I need a change, thanks for watching......... Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 Yeah that is a long time. It's a bit of a hobby also. getting a bike and getting to run well and to your liking.
@@UKPete it was a hobby to be honest, at first it was a rescue mission as she was dumped and left under some old tin sheets to rot, but I saved her just in time and sorted her out, she ran beautifully and never let me down, ...... Colin ☺️
It's sad to see them go, but oh so fun to anticipate the new ones!
Hi Daniel, couldn't agree more, anyway it's fun looking around 🤣, thanks for watching, ........ Colin ☺️
Great stuff Colin...cool that the guy had previously bought from you and knew what the condition would be like 👍
Hi Harry, yes, a stroke of luck he was after one, he loves the vstrom and I remembered he was admiring the transalp when he was here before, and I'm glad it's gone to a good owner, thanks for watching, ...... Colin ☺️
Great stuff Colin. Hopefully you got a photo, of transalp to put up on wall. Gigi too.😊 Hopefully you film a part of visit to the dealer. Am really keen on seeing the new Guerilla. 780mm seat so be on tip of tip toes. Got an idea of what you might be considering. Will keep to myself for now. Might be totally wrong.😂 There is Yamaha MT 07 I spotted for sale too same age as Rebelene. It’s been lowered. I sat on one, at dealer in Inverness. Tip of tip toes, so be curious as to how this lowered one feels. As it might a possible purchase. It’s got 240miles only. So if there’s a dry day next week ride hour n 50 to try a sit on it.😊 Enjoy visit to dealer. It’s football ⚽️ day, gotta go pick up my neice
Hi Mark, yes I have pictures of both bikes, I popped to the dealership today for a look around, unfortunately they asked you not to film, so I had to respect their wishes, so I'm definitely sticking with royal Enfield, all will be revealed at a later date, ........... Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 for sure Colin. Glad you enjoyed your visit
So many nice bikes as it's a multi dealership.........Colin ☺️
First off, I want yer Tee shirt 😂 big hole in the garage,😢 I feel a 650 coming on 🤔 ….. Pete 🇫🇷

hi mate ace bikes had three of them !
Hi, you're right, they are absolutely cracking bikes, I'll miss mine when she's gone but it's time for a change, thanks for watching....... Colin 😊
Guerilla, seems to be everybody's favourite at the moment, reviews are amazing, ENFIELD does it again! Cheers,DINO.
Hi Dino, yes I agree, it seems to be the one to get, time will tell 😊, take care ..... Colin
i colin i have the same cover on my himalayan fr about 5 years just the same after all that time.about 9 pounds Good value.take care JEFF.
Hi Jeff, yes I'm very pleased with the new cover, and it seems it will last by what you say, thanks for watching, take care ....... Colin ☺️
as long as u dont shuffle about a lot .ha ha
Hi Jeff, good point, to be honest it was great never moved an inch, I'm well happy with it, ........ Colin ☺️
u or the cover.ha ha ...
Colin with that weather you need to buy a classic car ,mini. Bini, vw bug and get out and about on those rainy days .😊 the one bike will serve you well on nice days . Theres something to be said about touring in a classic car in a rainstorm with your t-shirt on ,the heater on and a cool drink in the can holder 😁
Evening Harry, I'm liking your thinking, I've looked at a couple of old but nice VW campers, we'll have to see, I sold the transalp about an hour ago, the new owner loves her, thanks for watching, take care ...... Colin 😊
@droneon29 vw camper would be amazing for family and you too ❤️ congrats on the sale 👏
Following your instructions and I had it off long before u 😅 I'll blame you doing the video
Heartfelt mate and feeling you frustration re feeling we have some unfinished business / a destination / a ride that needs our attention, but like you said Colin were fortunate enough to live in gods own motorcycling heaven, on our extended door step the Pyrenees a good days…. ride away with everything in between 😊 then more twisties and views than you can shake a stick at, one day bud 🤣 👍🤞 …..Pete 🇫🇷
Morning Pete, yes you are so right, we are surrounded living where we do by some of the best motorcycling roads anyone could wish for, so I think it is time after all these years to finally put the African dream to bed, anyway looking to the future can be more fun at times, oh and it's still raining, take care ........colin 😀
Gee, am in shock the Transalp and Gigi are going😢 Keep it short……lost for comment.😊
Hi Mark, I know, a bit of a shocking statement, I feel like it is time in my life for a bit of a change, bikes will always play a part in everything I do, I couldn't see myself not having at least one, take care mate ........Colin 😀
Hopefully your feeling better soon. Nice to see the blue skies
Morning Mark, I'm getting there slowly, the fresh air and those blue skies yesterday certainly helped, although today it's nothing but clouds ........ Colin ☺️
Afternoon mate if your coughing at night try this and believe me it works, rub into your feet inc the soles of your feet VIC and put on your warmest socks, I will guarantee you will not cough all night, when I was told this I poo hood it but a couple of years later I had a massive chest infection and a stinking cold desperate I did as I was told and could not believe it, I was amazed no cough no tickle no chest pain and could breath with hardly any rasping now it’s the first thing I do when I’m rough ie when we got Covid 2 years ago it’s the first thing I did, don’t ask me how it works but it does, I’ve always say I will not sell the Vespa px, but have a look on le Bon coin, a rough one with rust & scratches high mileage €3400 😳 mines original low mileage never been dropped ! I wonder, Naaaaa 😊 I think most people who changed their exhaust on all models on CZcams have put the originals back on, I think the problem with a lot of people saying the RE’s have no go is because lots of them only keep them for 1500 miles or km and these motors don’t free up until they have at least 2-3000 miles / km up mines coming up 8000 km and goes not like a rocket but like a train, big steam loco 😂😂😂😂 I got a beautiful La peierr mountain bike fully kitted which I had 1 years use out of before I developed sciatica due to my left knee I tried to persevere but it always left me in pain, the electric bike is easier but if I ride for to long it still gives me pain. Nice ride mate, nothing better to blow the cobwebs away …Pete 🇫🇷 (ps the gorilla could be a less frenetic KTM DUKE 690 which is a blast, but for me I think poss if I jump it will be a shotgun,)
Unfortunately, It's a bit late in the season to sell the alp, but you do have the French test certificate, which must add to the value . Happy your keeping the Himalayan Colin 🤗👍
Hi Harry, yes I'm definitely keeping the Himalayan, i really love the bike, it is a bit late in the season, but you never know, cheers for watching mate, take care ............colin 😀
Thanks for the spin today. I could hear your mood lift as the trip went on. Stay safe and give yourself a chance to recover.
Hi, thanks for watching, yeah I felt really yuk when I first started, but the fresh air and being back on the bike seemed to have an uplifting affect, take care ...... Colin 😊
Ma auld man is the best teachur fur motorbike service. Ta!
Thanks for your video. I want to fit the FuelX Lite and had to remove the seat and tank of my 350 Signals. Problem I did not get the fuel line off. So tomorrow I am go trying again after a second time watching your video. Gert
Hi and thanks for watching, sometimes the fuel pipe can be a bit difficult, you have to make sure the little buttons are completely pushed in, then gently rotate the pipe from left to right while carefully pulling back from the pump, when it does come off there will be a bit of fuel so have a rag at hand, good luck ...... Colin 😊
Today I had the tank removed, thanks of your video. I installed the Fuelx Lite and the engine runs better. Tomorrow I make a test drive. Thanks again for the video and greeting from the Netherlands. Gert
Hi Gert, im glad it all went well, ive never fitted the fuelx lite but ive been told it makes a big difference, im glad my video helped, thank you for watching, take care ...... Colin 😊

Afternoon Pete, this weather is an absolute joke, it hasn't stopped raining here all day, and since about 10.30 its been really foggy, She's doing well, she can start to put a little weight on it now and she says it feels much better compared to how did before the operation, I'm glad one of us is getting some use out of our bikes, .........colin 😀
Back to watching again. Good to see you are doing well. All the best to you and the family.
Hi Bruce, thanks for watching, hope all is well with you, take care ...... Colin ☺️
Interesting ! Question : Is it possible to remove only the driver's seat & let the back seat in place ?
Hi and thanks for watching, unfortunately, you have to remove the rear seat fist to be able to remove the front seat, I hope this helps ........colin 😀
We had rain too. Yesterday was horrendous though. Garden 75% dug out. Dug channel at end of garage, and it’s filling up with water. Did mention this, when he came to quote, so hopefully he puts in a drainage channeling in. 😊 Best wishes to your daughter.😊
Hi Mark, bloody weather, sounds like you certainly do need a channel to remove the water, daughter's doing well
Lol
Always the same living in this area, beaten by the rain 🌧️🌧️ ☔😅😅
Great news mate chuffed for you guys that it’s all gone well, tried real hard to rain here at 3ish but came to nothing, 30c here at the moment. … Pete🇫🇷
Hi Pete, yes it all went well, shame about the rain 🌧️, and the temperature has dropped off as well, 😅
I think the quality is just fine Colin 🙂 I love wind turbines too ,the closer I see them the better .,Finally a lovely hot day for you 🤗 the price of caravans in latvia is crazy to ,people bring them from the UK 3rd of the price 😊 nice Ride Colin 👍
Hi Harry, I'm pleased with the quality, so 1080p it is then 😜 I think wind turbines are very soothing to watch, I looked at bringing a caravan from the UK, but because they have to be plated and checked here, plus the import duty it's a no go, yesterday the weather was good 👍, today it's cloudy and windy 😢 the joys of Finistère, thanks for watching........ Colin ☺️
Evening Colin was a bit to much of a nice day for a ride today, very busy in my bit and super warm, agree about the municiples Sarah and I used them a lot in our early touring years, facilities on some could be dated but agree normally very well looked after, in fact in May we stayed on the laval municipal site which was fantastic like a private site quality, facilities were superb modern and clean & €13 a night with hook up. Glad to hear everybody whooping cough clear (is that how it’s spelt 😳) we were saying this morning that there is loads of dandilion floaters about, but not as many bugs as last year mate and definitely not those little black beetle we had last summer. I only cleaned off mozzies after my last few rides, know what you mean about second hand prices for vehicles the eriba vans are superb so well built I’ve spoken to people on sites that have had theirs for 20 years, great bits of kit and hold their price…. Later Pete 🇫🇷 ps Sarah says thank for the mention she chuffed to bits 😊
Morning Pete, well what a difference a day makes, no blue sky this morning, just extremely cloudy, but a welcome break to that heat, whooping cough is spelt as you did, and I'm so glad it's gone from our house, horrible thing, there are far too many bugs in the world today, there are new cases of covid where the wife works, it's all becoming too much, I'm beginning to look like a pin cushion with all the vaccine jabs, those dandelion things become a bit of a pain in the but if you've got the visor up, but as you said there certainly isn't as many bugs as last year, tell Sarah she's more than welcome, take care .......colin 😀
Hope the sore foot clears up Colin .at least you can sell stuff! Here you advertise something for €100 and they offer you €22 😂 like Pete says ...dont sell the boat 😅remember Noahs arc 🤭😅
Hi Harry, thanks, the foot is getting a lot better now, normally it's the same here as in you can't sell anything and if you do they want to pay peanuts for it 😅, I think you and Pete could be right about the boat 🚢, winters on the horizon 🤭🤭 thanks for watching....... Colin ☺️
Morning mate sunshine here until 11.55 then a shower of light rain right in the middle of putting a garden sofa together 🤬 Sarah reckons you ought to move you defo get more than your fair share of the wet stuff. Your In the selling mode, wanting to thin out the stable ? That rack looks like you framed it with that tyre 🤣 Yep I agree mate, I subscribe to KISS mainly cos I am stupid, hang on to the boat Colin you never know with all the rain you get when it may come in handy 🤣 ……. Pete🇫🇷
Afternoon Pete. It always rains when you are in the middle of doing something (unless you live in Finistere when it hardly stops) hopefully you got the sofa sorted, I agree with Sarah I should move, unfortunately for me, the wife doesn't agree🤨, I haven't got round to sorting out the rack, but it sits there quite nicely, the way the weather is performing you may be right about holding onto the boat, ...........colin 🙂
Don't let anyone bring you down. I face the same nonsense. There are those who take action and those who only criticize. Keep doing your thing, brother!
@@mar0364 , thank you, and your right in what you say, the main thing is people like us enjoy what we do and that's what it's all about, thanks for watching, I've subscribed to your channel........ Colin 😊
I have a question, i haven't remove my Tank yet, but, i would like to raise the tank by 3 inch. But i don't see you bolt any screw in the front... Any idea how to raised/lift the tank by 3 inch?
@@marcoenmymizocampinggears4871 , hi I'm not to sure what your asking me, the tank is secured by a bolt at the seat end, and is held in place the other end by 2 round rubbers, this makes the hole tank secure, may I ask why you want to raise the tank by 3 inch for?? ...... Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 to make it look more like chopper bike... Raised the front only by 3 inch.
@marcoenmymizocampinggears4871 ok, well I'm not sure, how you would go about that, as I said the front of the tank slides over 2 rubbers and they are attached to the frame, I'm sure it could be done by fabricating brackets....... Colin ☺️
