Better to learn at the practice stage than on holiday and god bless cable ties😊 is Sue's helmet a Shoei Neotech Splicer?
@GreyBiker9944 минут бұрын
That’s exactly what we thought too. It’s always worth having a local trip to test stuff out. Well spotted on the helmet too! We both have the Shoei Neotech 2 Splicers with the integrated Sena comms.

Ireland is special. Just a shame the weather is so unpredictable. It could be the middle of summer but we get a dull rainy day and within a few hours it could be glorious sunshine, you just never know. The weather forecast is more of a "best guess" in Ireland. Pity you missed the Cliffs of Moher as they are incredible but heavily monetised these days. The locals know where you can go to view them for free but the tourist centre is always packed and very expensive.
@GreyBiker992 күн бұрын
My wife is from Scotland and we’ve done a fair bit of touring up there, so the four seasons in one day is something we’ve experienced before, but overall we were really lucky with the weather. We would have loved to have stopped at the Cliffs of Moher, but being a bank holiday weekend it was so busy we decided not to this time. The Cliffs of Kilkee made up for it though (will be in episode 4) as they were stunning. Thank you for watching and for your comment. 😁

@GreyBiker9916 күн бұрын
Hi Dave, thank you for your comment. There is on-road parking directly outside the hotel and we managed to get a space almost directly outside even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. The hotel is on a one way system so you may have to go around a couple of times to find a space. The parking is free and our bikes seemed safe enough. The hotel itself is nothing special, but is clean and the breakfast is good. I hope you have a great trip 😁. Cheers, Mark.

I’m from Larne the ferry port that you arrived at in Northen Ireland. If you had after the first half mile turned off the duel carriage way into Larne town it goes to a roundabout that takes you onto the A2 Coast Road which is regulars as one of the best bikers roads in the world! Very popular now as well as the Game of Thrones was filmed at multiple locations a long its route. In addition if you are into Road Racing it takes you to the world famous NW200 road track at Portrush. Sorry bit of a rant but lots of bikers appear to miss one of the most scenic riding road. But hey I ride it most weeks and I’m biased. Your trip looked fantastic and I hope it’s not long before you guys are back!

Hi Mate nice test video. Personally I think the mic2 transmitter was absolutely fine didn't see any huge improvement with the Lav mic. Have to say I'm sticking with the mic2 as it allows a amount of wind and engine noise which I prefer, without that it can sound a bit bland and it's so easy to use. Off to Scotland Friday leading 3 guys on an adventure.😎 FB
@GreyBiker994 ай бұрын
Thanks mate. I agree that the improvement in the audio using the lav mic just isn’t worth the extra hassle and they are also really sensitive to popping. Have to say I really like the Mic2 setup though without having to use the receiver. I watched your intro to your Scotland trip today. Looks like a good route. I’ve done those roads several times and love it up there but we’re off to Ireland in a couple of months for a bit of a change. Have a great time!
