    Excellent channel. Very informative. I passed my bike test in 1981 and haven’t had a bike since 84! At the grand old age of 60 i seem to have gotten back the bug! I am looking at a Royal Enfield 350 classic, just purely for commuting and enjoyment, happy to plod along not bothered about fast speeds. Any views on the Enfields? I saw that you once had the Himalayan.
    Many Thanks

      Thanks very much..wow! That’s a long time bikeless, also passed my test in 82…the bug never leaves you though, glad it’s back for you..I had the Himmy for 2 years, great bike, rode around 16 countries also had an electra bullet did the North Coast 500 on that so yes I like Royal Enfields a lot! I liked the classic but for me it was slightly too heavy but a great bike especially riding in India 😊

    I bumped into you a few weeks or so back at Craigs Honda,Shipley. You were heading out on their NX500 demo bike for a 3 hour stint. Obviously it must have gone very well as clearly you bought one. I was looking at the outgoing CB500X as the last few in the showroom were very heavily discounted for clearance reasons. I decided to save myself £800 & ordered a CB 500X,the money saved will go on plenty of accessories for it,enjoy your New ride & looking forwards to watching your adventures on the NX.

      @@freewheelingblonde I’m raking up the running in miles now & not far to go for the first service, the CB500x an absolute pleasure to ride around the back lanes as it’s very light & Manoeuverable with just enough grunt. Weight and handling wise Compared to my outgoing Honda NC750X DCT there is no comparison, I did a lovely run over the moors to Pateley Bridge today with my pal John, I can recommend the little cafe on the Main Street. Keep the videos coming 😎

    Enjoy the 500. I’ve had a 500X since late 2921 and love it. It’s a better touring bike for the sort of touring that I do than the bigger more powerful bikes that I owned before. It takes me and my camping gear all over Europe on all sorts of roads. That last bit is a lie, it never goes on motorways because I hate them, they’re not a natural environment for a motorcycle. I enjoy ever kilometre that I ride then there’s the economy… that’s enough to make anyone smile. Enjoy.

    Potential for some more good videos to come and great to see a mature lady biker posting on YT. Bike looks great , was nearly my choice when they added the colour dashboard but have gone for the Voge DS525X in the blue/silver , delivery next month. PS. you need to upgrade that camera though , very blurry. Take a look at the Osmo Action 4 , just got one and it's brilliant. Stay safe and enjoy that new bike.

      Cheers, I looked at the voge as well, nice bike, yeh, just getting to grips with filming etc, will upgrade as I get better …it’s all a learning curve for me, as a mature lady anti techy! 😜

      I rode a DS525X last October while my 500X was having a new rear tyre fitted. It was really impressive, good to ride, well equipped and a bargain price. Enjoy. Luckily on the hour’s ride home I decided that I preferred riding my Honda. Given that the Voge only had 4km on the clock when I left the dealers it wasn’t a fair comparison. I do have a Voge, I bought a 300 Rally in early November. I love it.

    @BreezyRider66 Před 2 měsíci

    I think you made a good choice for a solo rider - fast enough, comfy enough, good economy & tank range, reliable, will handle a bit of off road as & when. Add handguards & hotgrips & off you go...

  • @Iamwhatiam76
    @Iamwhatiam76 Před měsícem

    Barkbusters hand guards is a must,Find skid plate that protect the exhaust headers too…Centre stand is an option…If you always ride offroad then invest in headlight and radiator guards.Rear aluminium top box..45L better
