Hi Ron, yes it's OK thanks, just have to stand up occasionally, I guess if you make whatever seat you have more comfy it would be fine, like put a gel pad in it etc.

@@trevsstuff64 the Beta xt 300 just sold had a better seat put on it from previous owner, l was intending to retire but went down in the dumps so bought myself another bike, well it is nearly my birthday(not sure what the seat is going to be like as l have to get it lowered before l attempt to ride it !

@@ronpranglen5287 Ahh yes, the older one gets, it's better you can flat foot your bike. I was riding my friend Neil's WR250R it is too tall for me, and has caused me to drop it, and nearly a few other times because of that. I have a 29in leg, so the WR at 930mm (36.5in) is too high. If it was mine etc i would put lowering links on it, a very wise move 👍

@@trevsstuff64 mine is 960 but l been quoted taking 35mm off which will be still a bit tall

@@ronpranglen5287 Blimey that is tall, I can sit on a crf250l which is 880 ok, but then the rear shock is also soft. maybe you can get the seat cut down as well, perfect opportunity to then add a gel pad to the seat, depends how thin the seat already is of course.

It was just tucked behind the cables where you see it in the video.

No problem Jason, thanks for taking lots of pictures and sharing them for free! 😁👍

Thanks David, I hope so, only time will tell, i thought I was going to keep the Breva forever, but that wasn't the case after all, so we will see 🤷‍♂

Hi, thanks for the comment. whats a spyball? is that an alarm, it has a Datatool alarm, I guess I will find out if that is a real drain or not. Those battery tenders kill batteries too, it should be fine through the summer. In the winter I take the battery off and leave it in a warm place, then quick top up before putting it back on for the good weather.

Hi Chris, thanks for leaving a comment, yeah the weather is not perfect, but it was mainly dry, just a bit like riding in a cloud , i think thats why the lens had such colour flare at times. 78 and still riding, good on yer mate! I would be surprised if I'm still alive, let alone riding when I get there. My idea is, though, when the Breva 1100 gets too heavy, to go down to something like the Breva 750 if I could find one, but at about 20 years your junior at 59 yrs old I'm hoping for a good few years on the 1100 yet though. 👍

@@trevsstuff64Agreed, we deal with what's there; might not be perfect, but... I downsized from a heavier bike and the 750's fine for now. If I need to downsize in the future then sobeit, as I intend to keep riding for as long as I can. Must admit, I'm quite surprised that I've got this far, given all the high-risk things I've done; spice of life and all that! 😉

Thanks for the comment, I was thinking to myself, I am nearly 59, but thought, when I get older and the 1100 gets too heavy, i might switch to a Breva 750, I think you have to be real about your budget, so I hope you enjoy the Honda. I think the injection model of the Breva 750 does about 60 mpg, which is not bad, im getting about 40 mpg from the 1100 on my rides out, and I usually am not not doing more than a 60 mile round trip. I do love Hondas, had a few myself in the past.

Thanks for that. My stepson had a 750 and an 850 Guzzi back in the day and enjoyed them both; actually, he wishes he still had the California! My first Honda was a CB77 (the 305 SS or Superhawk), back in the 1960's - and there's been a plethora of bikes from various manufacturers, both before and since. Yes, unfortunately the weight factor does become an issue as we age.

Hi LeBlanc, yes you are 100% correct it made no difference to wind noise 👍, it does deflect some wind to my body though, so I will probably keep it, did you try different types of screen as well?

@@trevsstuff64 i want to try a small screen that is just protecting the speedometer. But did not buy it yet 😊

@@MotoManiaGuides Oh cool, that will look very nice 👍 one from the 1200 sport? or different one?

@@trevsstuff64 sport

Hello to Athens 🙂I haven't noticed any unstable rear braking at all actually, maybe it was something with the bike you had? Yes I love the bike too, thanks for the comment 👍

Thanks for the comment, I actually owned a Le Mans Mk2 850 about 40 years ago, I became an addict then really i think, taken me a long time to get another, but worth it. I agree Top boxes look out of place on most bikes, yeah, even the rack, you have a good point, get some panniers maybe for times when you want to take stuff, wont get a helmet in a pannier though 🤔 its one I definitely am considering thanks for pointing it out. Again, you are right looks better without a scren, but I like the practicality of it, and dont mind the look with it, so like you, it stays, if I were to do touring or long journeys I would consider a higher after market one. Thanks for your thoughts, ride safe buddy 🙂👍

Thanks 😁

Hi, thanks for watching and the comment, to be honest my friend in the videos found the ones i have been to, but, heres a link to biker nights in berkshire on facebook, hope that helps, and hopefully others may give you some tips too facebook.com/search/top?q=biker%20night%20berkshire 😊👍

@@arfb8 You are welcome , hope you find some places you can attend, maybe will bump into each other at one of the places, Box hill seems like its normally fairly busy, thats sundays and apparently there has been a good showing on wednesday nights too, ride safe buddy 👍

Haha I was in the garden too, there were some young guys by the fence, was that you and your friends? I wasn't sure what you looked like at the time.. haha .. didn't want to seem a knob going up to total strangers 😆 My friend Neil is in the Victory owners club, so we were hanging around with them mainly. i will have to get a pic or short clip of me in one of the vids .. yeah catch you another time , cheers👍

@@trevsstuff64 ah, nah that wasn't me, I was with the slightly older bunch on the tables next to them. Had an army boxing team hoodey on if that helps 😅

Thanks, hopefully my videos will improve in time, show a bit more of the bikes there etc.

@@trevsstuff64 are you heading down this Thursday?

@@thelimeyrider Not 100% sure, I might be

@@thelimeyrider if the weather is good and my mate is up for it, i shall probably be there, perhaps see you there if you are also there 👍

@@trevsstuff64 sweet, yea i'll no doubt be there! Seems to be my regular Thursday night haunt at the moment 😁
