Wish it were that simple mate - I think its more to do with not allowing the drivers to be installed or used under the windows security options

4 years ago... oh well, I'll comment and KZbin will suggest it to others. I just got a new Bike, A Brand spankers New Suzuki V-strom 250SX, I only have 6 months of riding under my belt. But I rode to work today, because there are only 2 fine days for the next week and a bit, and today was one of them. that's about 50-60 minutes per day, in peak traffic. It can only help to improve, as the goal is to get there and back alive! (and use 1/3 the gas of a modern hatchback) In the weekends, I could go for a cruise, a day away spent in my own head while it's in a good place. Or I could, and am planning a ride with an old friend who also just brought a Brand-New Bike. on a road we both know... one that's actually brilliant for running engine in, as well as... being overtaken by idiots in Tesla model 3's that think it's a racetrack (I was so hoping I would see him upside down in the ditch so I could tell him he deserved that!) some Bikers ride that way on this road too, but that's too big of a risk with how tight and blind those corners are! I'm mid 40's & been driving since... The first Motorkhana I did when I was 13. I've done many of those, and being in the top 3 every time gets boring, Autocross is more of a challenge, as I'm against other Rally drivers who have the particular skill set to make me work for it. and then there's Rallying. No circuit, that doesn't interest me as much, I'll watch, I'll help, but I'd rather race on a slippery surface. But the first time on the Motorway with the bike? I was dreading that for ages, and it didn't take long for someone to try to block me from merging just because I was on a Bike. It's like being surrounded by hungry Loins that want to attack me. This sounds crazy, but the only time I felt comfortable then, was when a Motorcycle COP was sticking close to me... that's the only time the cars behaved themselves! I was so disappointed when he, decided to start lane splitting and left me behind... It made me feel vulnerable once more! But as I started by getting a scooter to reduce the time sitting around in the car going to and from work, I started in Peak traffic, I was nervous, I got shitty at people who tried to invade my bubble, and block me from being able to filter & reduce congestion for everybody, not just myself (if more people were not alone in a car, but riding a bike, traffic would be nowhere near as bad as it is) Riding through the suburbs in peak traffic is not a problem, but when people do the same thing at high speed, when the manoeuvrability is much less, and the risk much higher, that scares me. You can argue that everyone is going the same direction, but until you see all the people who got a license overseas and never took a driving test in this country drive, and change lanes without looking. cannot maintain a consistent speed, brake hard for no reason causing other cars to have accidents behind them, push into another lane no matter who is already there... NOBODY is going in the same direction at the same speed, so that is not a valid argument, the Motorway is NOT safer than the urban traffic at all! (not unless there is a cop around so they all stop being assholes, that is why I actually like driving/riding near a cop on the motorway)

Making my cbt there and have never rode a bike at all before. Wish me luck. Any tips in regards to leaning as that’s what scared me the most?

I hear the m1000r has some serious vibration on the handle bar which tires your arms hands out. How is the s1000 with vibration? it seemed more stable to me on the video.

I have just come across your excellent and very informative video. It was extremely timely because at the age of 68 I have been seriously thinking about exchanging my S1000RR for something more sedate (for example, an R nineT). .I am avid cyclist and typically go out for 4-5 hour rides, so comfort on a motorcycle is not an issue,. Your video reinforces my inclination to keep my RR. It is a beautifully engineered machine and riding it is a joy. I have a feeling that if I exchange it, I will inevitably be disappointed with its replacement. Thank you for taking the time to put together your video.

Rest in peace for insta 360😂 🌼 🌸

Where is the pocket for the back protector? I cant find it for the life of me

First time adjusting engagement point (still learning motorbike mechanics) after watching your video. Very informative! I have several years of experience in bicycle repair and I will say this works EXACTLY the same as adjusting cable-pull brake. The only difference is that they work in the opposite way, where you loose the nut (more in), you have nearer engagement point on motorbike, and you will have more lever travel to trigger the brake on bicycle. As the clutch is just a "reversed version" of brake 😅. Thank you!

I liked the Engine Hawk Tactical Gilet but after 3 days of trying to find out how to buy one ive given up. The website that you link to is useless. Ive googled it and got nowwhere near finding out how to buy one, please advise thank you?

Super useful video! Thanks bro

Nice video, and great to see something othher than an akra being run/reviews on the gen3 s1000r. On a side note have you adjust the suspension i always feel mine is always a bit soft on the front even with preload adjusted

¿Can u do a video of the windscreen and opinion?

I couldn't decide between the two, but you made it very easy for me. You covered all the points I wanted to know. Thanks!

Super informative. Thanks!

Waste of time. Only tried the original one and it does not work on win 11 or mac

My bite point starts about 1cm out from handlebars, if I want the bite point around half way out is this also the method ?

Hi there mate! I have a question, are you squeezing the lever while adjusting it? And if so, how far are you squeezing it? Is it a full squeeze? Hope you notice! Thank you

I did my CBT at karmenz have to say they are damn good, professional and easygoing guys there. Its always a bit awkward doing a CBT ride cause it's not like normal riding, you have to concentrate on listening out for instructions and staying with the group when safe to do so on top of the usual stuff like keeping an eye on traffic, using your indicators etc and the radio signal can get shitty if you get too far from the instructor But the guys at karmenz handle this really well, they know what to do in every single situation you can tell they have been doing this for a long time

It's was an excellent video to watch and took me right back there to York. I did the 3 days also and can highly recommend it.

Lol...are you singing 😂😂🎉

This is brilliant thank you just past my CBT at aged 57 years love riding my 125cc but nervous as hell 🤘👏👏

rip off

Nice is it cool if u have a chat with the other for us be ideal

You forgot to mention, that you should also use your left hand to obstruct the view of how to place the filler pistol, or whatever it is called...

I had 2 cars of mine rammed one year after the other and the bike I bought was a crash write off (non-structural) that I've put back on the road so I'm hoping that between us we're not due any more for a good long while.

story gave me a ptsd. got my mod2 tommorow

I had a bad smash in 1992 nearly died never sat back on a bike till 2022 even now iam not 100% on it

I’m 60 and bought an RR three months ago and love it. The other bike is an XR for longer trips and crap weather but I can happily ride the RR for 3 hours and hop off in no pain. The bike is roomy and cruise control allows you to sit up and stretch from time to time so all good. Do you still have the bike and is there a further update?

Thanks for this!

Do you also use the rear brake when doing the trail braking?

These seem to be more suited for the slim handsome individual... Is there something for us more on the rotund side of things who are not so blessed in the looks department?

writing a short story about a bike rider during iom tt race, now i want to ride one. #babysteps

It’s not unique to that bike. I’m 40 in excellent health, no joint pains, gym goer (that’s me in my avatar) and still all sports bikes feel crap after an hour. I mean they’re designed with track ergos, don’t really make sense on the road. Better off with a hyper naked

Just got my insta 360, whats the small insta screen you got?

I only passed my mod 2 because ironically I had thought I had failed in the first 10 minutes. I failed to understand the examiners instructions due to comms issues on a roundabout and had gone into lane 2 on roundabout where I was supposed to be proceeding straight, Only realised he said 2 not 3 when I saw him in lane 1 in his car at the roundabout. I just went around the roundabout twice to ensure I wasn’t being dangerous but i thought as I hadn’t followed his instructions i would have failed. Straight after that I calmed down and started riding normal as I believed I was no longer under any pressure as I had already failed in my mind. I got back to the test centre and was told i passed, with the only errors being that i went 22 in a 20, and not seeing a large pothole in the road on a negative camber turn i nearly hit the pothole but was more focussed on the positioning for the turn.

Thanks, this worked for me.

Thank you for the detailed explanation on Knox shirts and options to wear with. I’m getting back into riding, just bought a ‘23 T120 Bonneville and looking for some good riding gear for trips and weekend rides. So many options to choose from…it’s hard to figure out what’s good and/or gimmick. However, will I look stupid riding a Bonnie wearing this gear? lol

Nice review mate, thank you very much

Might help if the SENA it would recognize the unit

Have 2 original cables, neither work. No help on 2 different sena units.

Your son is very smart 😢❤

I highsided in August whilst trying to get my knee down. Did a good job of smashing my left foot up on the footpeg and it's still not healed. It's not bothering me all that much, but I'm a complete pussy about cornering now and it's taking a while to get used to leaning over again.

not getting that with original cable??

Sounds like you got off very lightly especially at that speed 😮 I got rear ended at 40 mph and got smashed to bits, spent 3 months in hospital and had to learn to walk again let alone ride. Managed to get back on a scooter after 3 years and now back on a bike 5 years later. I wasn’t so much worried about riding again it was just the pain that kept me off a bike for so long. Consider yourself very lucky sir. Ride safe 👍

Study engineering or learn the physics of driving. Risk is probability multiplied by damage extend. After a while you will master the odds of every action and get a feel for what you wanna do and don't. Emotional bullshit is for hysterical woman, train to surpress that if you want to have sucess in life.

Came off at 45-50mph. From tarmac on to gravel. It was on a long trip. I'm due to do a long trip next week, and yeah, the nerves are there. But I need to do it because it's to prove I can do it.

Ouch. Think you got away lightly thank god 🙏

Can someone provide me the link for the $40 ones? I cant find them 😔

Ya know mate, a bt tune after a couple bolt on mods will give you stock M performance but will be more refined than the M

Nice to see someone actually giving it some stick.
