I know I'm gutted too, have to get serviced in Bristol now which isn't ideal 😢

Yeah I guess that's the case with alot of brands but Honda are quite sensibly priced compared to most & from past conversation with the sales staff they sell quite alot too 🤔 I can only imagine it has happened due to poor conditions this summer & maybe the backlog of bikes has hurt the business

@@Jimbobs_Adventures Granted what you say is part of it .. but the seeds of this debacle were planted many years ago when the middle classes became ' born again bikers' and took over the scene , out went the range of Motorcycles and ' CC's ' and in came superbikes at near luxury car prices and the overblown assessories market with matching colour leathers that were priced wayyy over they're worth .... Motorcycling became a game of financial one upmanship rather than a grass roots movement , and now Royal enfield and the chinese have stepped into the void left by those middle class hoorays moving on to another ' expensive ' hobby .. the market is adjusting back to what it should have been all along ..... its Darwinian theory but in the flesh !

@muckergee2113 I think this applies to all markets, not just the motorcycle community

@@Jimbobs_Adventures well it does if the 'chattering classes ' have decended on them and priced it out of the common mans ranges !! god bless the indians and chinese for bringing a little reality into things !

For riding or don't like sand in general?

Did you manage to finish the race ?? It's such a tough course

@@Jimbobs_Adventures yeah we did finish, bike and body both feeling it now, Barmouth beach race this weekend coming so back on it again 😎💪🤙

I'd love to give it a go, maybe not on a sidecar outfit though as it looks brutal 😆

@@Jimbobs_Adventuresit’s not too bad once you get through the first lap, we do it every year 😎👍

Hope you enjoyed the day

I may put it back on tomorrow but I haven't decided 100% if it's the right thing to do

I’m thinking exactly the same now. I’ll have a think about it.

Thankyou for the feedback, I will act on those things

Yes I am thinking shorter content needed going forward, thankyou for the feedback 😊

It was on as I hadn't reset it after fitting an aftermarket exhaust

Bike theft is getting really bad now across the country 😕 I have plenty of deterents and tracker fitted for peace of mind

I bought it from another NX500 owner as he bought it without fitting it due to the engine issues he read about. It's a Yoshimura R77 if you want to purchase it for yourself tho

​@@Jimbobs_Adventureswhat kind of engine issues?? Do you have links of that? By the way... It's louder, it had db killer on?

Not physical engine issues just that he read about the light coming on every 70 miles etc. The Parallel twin honda engine is pretty much bulletproof

Thankyou for the kind words

I think the hoodlums are a great choice but make sure you keep up the service schedule as they can go horribly wrong if you don't look after them. If you want no worries about reliability then the Yamaha

Wow what lovely words 😀 I will be sure to watch your videos & you have a great bike with the Detroit. Drop me a message on Instagram if you ever fancy a ride out 👍

Thanks TAYM 👍

You would be fine at 34 as the rule is 10% plus 2. 35mph you get a ticket 👍

It was my first time seeing them live but I thoroughly enjoyed it

They were amazing 👏

@@Jimbobs_Adventures yeah. My back wasn't happy with the 5 hours of standing tho lol.

I know what you mean 😏 my back is sore today too

I have never hit limiter in 5th 😆

I am trading mine in soon for a new bigger bike but if I see you about I will say hi

It was a fantastic show & he sounded amazing for a 73 year old man

Thankyou Phil 😁

Thankyou my friend 🙌

Fuck you hes a legend

Yeah but I even find Harleys are too small now also. I believe that the only midrange bike that you can forward control out of the factory without having to spend on accessories is the Kawasaki Vulcan 650.

If you look after them they will last. Glad you love yours too

Yeah they are excellent 👌, get that big license done ✔️

Yes the Outlaw has really been a great little bike for the money, alot of people put the Chinese bikes down but I believe that if you keep them serviced & maintain them properly you will reduce the problems significantly. I have a few bikes in mind but I'm leaning towards the vstrom 650 or versys 650.

@@Jimbobs_Adventures have you considered the benelli TRK 😁 getting fantastic reviews both the 502 and the 702 😁

I will have a look at them
