Thanks. I had a Zoom H2N recorder in my rucksack sitting in a piece of foam to try and limit movement noises. Its hard to get a completely clean sound track when carrying camping gear. Here is a video i done last year without carrying any luggage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYCqgHynqJZ4d9Esi=s7SOAeXk4uf1lRP-

It's a clever device, i've only tried it out a handful of times so far. The colour night-vision is quite impressive, i recommend using a tripod for more detailed footage as the image quality improves if the device isn't moving about. The regular night-vision IR mode is very good even on the lowest setting (i think it has about 7 IR power settings). I could clearly see a building 25m away on the 1 IR power mode. I was amazed how many stars i can see through it, the amount of satellites you can see moving at the same time in one shot was unexpected but quite fascinating. (I think i see 6 in one 15 second clip with some coming from different directions.) I'm not sure how long the battery lasts as yet, presumably the IR mode would use more battery if you had the IR bulb on brightly. I think it might be able to run while attached to USB power but don't quote me on that. I'm not sure of the focal length of this device but don't expect to see the whole milky way through it in one shot. I want to try looking at Andromeda galaxy thorough it one night as it might be visible. (I already own a smart telescope which can see Andromeda clearly: "Vaonis Vespera", you use a phone app on that smart telescope to move it to different items of interest in the night sky).

@@dtr125 Thank you so much for the complete answer! If only for looking at satellites, this is a good product for the price.

It's a "Garmin Zumo 346LMT-S", it's a good satnav and receives lifetime updates via WiFi. I got it on Amazon 3 years ago, they still sell it. I used "Ride With GPS" website to plot my routes, then exported them as GPX, and loaded them into Garmin Base-camp software on PC to convert the way-points to a route which the Garmin would read.

Thank you!

The route we actually took i plotted out on "RidewithGPS" from my bikes GPS tracker data: ridewithgps.com/collections/2039418?privacy_code=3uFgoZr6DJRZ5xFd1TbClO3m65XFM1Qu Ended up doing a lap of Loch Ness over 2 days of the trip as we went to a Cafe on the opposite side to our camp-site, haha.

Since i had the "Viaterra Claw" bag over my seat (with other stuff strapped on it), i had to sit far forward on the stock seat which did get uncomfortable after a while. When not load with luggage you can sit further back on seat which is better, but i might get a touring seat or a gel-pad next time i take a trip.

@@dtr125 Exactly stock seats are not comfortable when riding for longer period. Happy riding and Merry Christmas! 🎄

@@Ninja-samurai- Thanks and Merry Christmas 🙂

It was a pleasurable trip, (we done most of it on A/B roads.)

The numerical part of the title is needed to reference the order of the videos. If i wrote the exact from/to location in the title there wouldn't be room to highlight that it was a bike trip or the bike name. I don't have time to think up 150 different kwerky video titles either tbh.

It's a "Garmin Zumo 346LMT-S"

They are nice bikes. I have only rode it a couple of times in the past 6 weeks as the weather is now rubbish and i'm trying to keep the bike clean, haha

I really like my Interceptor 650. The stock seat is a bit uncomfortable on long rides when you sit far forward on it, but there are many aftermarket seats available. It was managing over 70mpg even when loaded with camping gear surprisingly. It has a pleasant sound with the aftermarket "Enfield Precision" silencers. (The audio on these videos was recorded using a Zoom H2N audio recorder in my backpack. I had to adjust the levels a bit to limit background noise from luggage sacks blowing in the turbulance.) I've never owned or ridden any Triumph twins so i can't compare but i imagine the build quality might be higher on a Triumph, although i think the equivalent Triumph is something like £3000 more expensive than this bike. After 18 months ownership since i got it new the build quality is holding up pretty well. I try and only ride it on dry days. I do keep the engine casings polished as they are bare aluminium and i've seen bikes where people don't bother and they can go dull with white marks just like any bare aluminium if not looked after. There is a small rubber cover on my rear brake light switch which has small cracks in it but it's only a cover (i can put some tape around it). Overall it's a decent bike and if looked after should last for many years. This bike trip was around 2700 miles and the bike didn't give me any real issues apart from i noticed the front wheel needed the spokes adjusting from the 1st day of the trip (it had a handlebar wobble if i let go of the handlebars), but i waited until i got home to adjust it. The newer model with the black (coated) engine casings and alloy wheels is probably a bit easier on cosmetic maintenance although i do prefer the look of the shiny engine casings.

I am not a "vlogger", this was my 1st ever bike trip in my 25 years of motorcycle riding and wanted to capture it for prosperity, and for anyone else to watch who likes the Royal Enfield Interceptor, or who just wants to see what the some of the scenic roads of the UK look like. I am not sure if your comment was meant as a compliment or an insult.

@@dtr125 hahah don't be confused dude i'm just telling that this videos is like i can watch for hours although it has nothing no one is talking or nothing but when i watched this i was like lost in this, so yeah it's kinda a compliment.

@@dtr125 with this i want to know about the performance and ease of riding this beast from you

@@prashantvaishnav5635 the bike handled differently with all the camping gear on it (it was quite top-heavy so i had to be careful turning round on sloped roads). When i got the bike new last year i didn't have any plans to do long trips on it, haha, but it was good.

We were very lucky with the weather, it was dry every day of the entire trip.

@@dtr125 Now, that's really lucky! I mean it rains almost every day here in Glasgow

It was the first ever bike trip i've done! You can appreciate how big the UK is when not travelling solely on motorways. (We only done a few stints on motorway to get to the nice scenery a bit quicker.)

Glad you enjoyed it

@@dtr125 Yes

50cc?

@@vetworker okay. Enjoy your ride. For a moment I thought you miss spelt 500cc to 50 cc... 🤣🤣

@@sumitroymajumder4712 thank you. Trip done now, 2356 miles around the whole of Great Britain.

@@vetworker I bet that was an interesting journey! Any issues along the way?

Hi, i have only started processing the video footage but i predict the entire trip will be about 140 videos (about 30 minutes each).

​@@dtr125​way to go 🎉 Wishing you the best in your trips ahead ! One request as a viewer it would be better to watch your videos if you interact with the viewers Like "guys look at the river how beautiful it is" "come lets hear the throttle" Take the viewers with you So that they too can connect with you Have fun ☺️

I saw there was some roman ruins in that area.

My bike has to live outside under a cover as i don't have inside storage ;-). I've done my best over the past year since i purchased it to only ride it on dry days as this is the first bike i've purchased new and wanted to keep it looking nice. I did give it a wash underneath and de-grease the front sprocket area and clean the chain as bikes now done 2000 miles and roads were a bit greasy with the UK road salt recently.
