Indeed, that sounds like a near miss to a very dangerous situation. Please make sure you have the means to indicate your exact position to rescuers and let someone know where and when you are going and when you should be back home. If you choose to hike trails with little or no elevation gain, we will enjoy watching your videos just as much 🙂 !

He often rides with groups of vintage riders. He lives in England and in this video the lead motorcycle is a 1960 AJS with a 84 year old rider.

I'm curious. I ride a Super Tenere and have put on three sets of Battleax Tires. I'm nearing 60,000 miles on the bike. When I got my last set, my model of Battleax no longer came in a radial tire. So, I went with the same make but not radial. And I really don't like them. They are NOISY. I just finished a 2100 mile trip and I guess they worked fine but I'm curious.. did you go from a radial to nonradial tire? Also on the helmets, for about five years I've used an HJC full face modular helmet. I love it. And I just added one of the "stop lights" to the rear that is activated by acceleratometers so that when you down shift it comes on. I was concerned about the added weight, but its been perfect. Stay safe. Let me know if you're still on radials.

Hi Richard, thanks for subscribing! My original Metzelers were radial, these new Battlax are also radial. They are definitely noisy!! I'll be trying something else next year. Regarding the helmet brake light, is it a Brake Free?
@richardmourdock2719
@richardmourdock2719 5 ай бұрын
@@MelissaL Yes, the Brake Free. I love it. I had a fellow motorcyclist following me through a Chicago traffic jam that last 45 minutes in 92 degrees. He said the light was better than just a brake light on the bike because it was higher and more visible. A good test of the brake light but I hope to never go through such traffic again!. Noisy radial tires, that is a new one. Ride safe. BTW, I'm 73 and never rode a motorcycle until I was 58. In retirement, motorcycle travel keeps me sane!
