Greetings from germany; had a similar issue on my MT10 SP. Engine was spinning and tries to start, then it died. Also there was the yellow SCU warning symbol. I charged the battery and the charger doesn't show a problem. My mechanic checked it and found a dead cell inside the battery. So this is how I understand it: engine was spinning, but the spark plugs didn't get enough energy. I tried to start about eight times (tried it 3 days to figure it out). The spark plugs were ruined due to the gas and had to be replaced. If you experience the same: bring the battery to the dealer first - they have specialized diagnosis tools.

From one KZbinr to another- thx u! Great overview. My mic just arrived, but your idea of having two as separate mics is a good one. Thx!

Glad you're OK. Nice bike, luckily the damage wasn't too bad and lucky you didn't tumble the wrong way over the side of the hill! As a Cumbrian, a bit of advice for anyone thinking of coming up in the winter. Bear in mind altitude which will affect temperatures, and the fact that the sun is low all day so some roads don't even get any sun because they're behind a hill, so the ice never melts. Also, valleys can funnel wind, increasing any wind chill and creating colder areas and retaining any ice. And lastly, the roads are narrow and there's not much room to avoid anything or take a 'convenient' fall! I've just bought a BMW GS so I'll soon find out if I can handle it on these roads as I'm a shorta**e! 😂 Take care, all but enjoy your ride 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing - its an important lesson for us all.

you've certainly got the knack of making people feel depressed

Great video and reflection on life today Nick. Did you get the blind spot mirrors fitted as extras as I don't think they are standard on the Rally Pro?

Great video, literally every point you made I was nodding in full agreement 😂 Missed seeing your videos pop up, but enjoying life and filming on your own terms is much more important! All the best 👍

🤣 Hahaha your winter is like my summer.Greetings from northern Norway 🇳🇴

Great review I found a second hand one with only 2k on the clock it’s like brand new, happy days 😊

Heated grips and heated seat? I'm 66 and never needed that. How old are you?

Summary: MAGA Brit rider has a whine louder than his bike engine

Great rant ,I think you told it as it is. Lakes always seems to look good what ever the time of year. I do like Freddie's Channel and I also watch Bankrupt Pensioner quite often. Anyway, good to see you back out again on the Tiger and hope to see a few more winter trips but just take it easy especially if there is ice around. 🙂🥶

Good to see you back out again, it's been awhile.

Agree with the vast majority of your rant, except the Tiger 800. Not for me but, I am pretty sure it will do well. I think your Rally looks better Pro - I like the dash too (and use the same settings). Averaging 56mpg which is a bit better than my Rocket at 46mpg.

Never cark it in Cark!

Oh My God So boring...

Not too much of a whinge Nick, I think I could of gone on longer 😂🤣. The world has certainly changed & not for the better especially the last few years!

Doom scrolling is a very real and dangerous pastime! Its easy to get sucked into watching endless videos of the doom and gloom driven by successive governments - and I include the current crop of idiots in power who couldn't run a bath. With the increase in NI, they seem to think that all employers are big businesses with wealthy shareholders and overpaid Chief Execs. They don't seem to grasp that most businesses employing small numbers of staff will be crippled by this - plumbers, builders, shop owners, café owners, small haulage etc. It's student union politics at its immature worst. I'm trying (not very successfully at the minute) to watch less current affairs stuff. Its depressing and only designed to polarize the country - you have to be left or right wing, in favour of immigration or against it, a climate change supporter or denier, leave or remain. There is no middle ground anymore. Discussion and constructive debate is a thing of the past sadly. You can't change anything and it just makes you angry and depressed. Doesn't help that winter is on the way!! I'm off now to catch up on todays news.......Oh, b0ll0cks. No, I'm going to fit my pudding cables to my Tiger 1050!!!!

The new tiger 800 reminds me of the Yamaha fazer from early 90s, or maybe it’s just me!, good to see you on the big tiger Nick

Globalism is at the heart of all our problems. TPTB are breaking society down in preparation for their "Build back better".

Can't go wrong with a good rant. As with many countries, we've been living beyond our means for many years and just increasing borrowing, but at some point, we need to pay it back and that means our children picking up the tab. I live 30 miles from Hinckley, and my Tiger900RP was made in Thailand. Like it or not, labour is cheaper in the Far East. Many mainstream manufacturers are utilising facilities out there to keep proffits up and costs down. It will be interesting in the coming years on how the market plays out many of these big expensive bikes are financed on PCP and to a degree rely on a second hand market for the retuning vehicles.

Triumph owners looking down on Chinese bikes,dont be fooled by the union jack logo on your tiger 900/1200 many made and assembled in Thailand, are Thailand bikes better made than Chinese bikes, possibly,but British made they ain't 🤷

Thought it was you we passed yesterday. The four BMW bikers 😊 All the Best

A great reflective Vlogg. 😊😊

Triumph...I always saw the 850 Sport as a kinda cheap shot at cornering part of the market that didn't want the 900 yet reused much of that platform for an easy win. The 900 range is underpowered compared to its peers in my opinion and the 1050 was what people actually wanted to be continued rather than the 850. Had they done those things, an upgraded 660 sport makes sense...but as things stand I agree with you

And thank you for the shout out:)

It's always a disappointment when someone turns out to be a Trumper.

Top whinge Nick. It does you good to have a good whinge now and again, and I agree 100% with your whinge😎. Great to see another of your videos and looking forward to the next one, when you get the chance.👍

I do love a rant video! Enjoyed this

Nick, your helmet, is that the Arai XD-4? What’s your thoughts on it? Thanks

You never stop talking! Why didn't you show us just how easy it was to turn the 1200 around in that tight walk way? Why didn't I ou get a job as a teenager and buy your own trails motorcycle? Thanks for the tiger nice roads you had as a child.

tbh I didn't look at any of trumps policies. I was too digusted with his all round degenerecy .

I occasionally ride through my childhood neighbourhood and like you have great memories which evoke feelings of the past. Pubs, nights out and the like. Good to have those feelings but feel sorry for my kids as as you say younger people today just don't seem to cut loose like we did. Crack on my friend, happy riding and maybe I'll run into you around the lakes lanes.

I went to Arnside on my speed master yesterday. I always look forward to your videos and I don't mind that they are not so frequent. Just make sure you keep on enjoying it. Thanks.

The mallard tea shop in cartmel does an amazing Cumberland sausage sandwich 😁

Thanks for that video. Middle-age man winges about stuff...who'd have thought, eh? 😂. Being of, I think, similar demographic to you, I know where you're coming from, and while I will never credit Trump with anything other than being a total sh*t, I also look at politicians generally and wonder what's going on. I've gone from being a 'plugged in' current affairs junkie, but I think it was during lockdown when I really cut right down on news programmes etc... a lot of it is fear mongering more than anything, to the benefit of one political party or another. Still, we've got bikes to keep us sane...so long as I can keep getting out on my bike, life is still very much worth living!

I don't care how good or cheap I wouldn't buy a Chinese bike, I would feel no pride in owning one. And I've felt a lot better and had a smile on my face since Wednesday morning.😂😊

Best thing to do not watching any news 👌. I just don’t want to know or hear about anything. No news is good news and ignorance truly is bliss.

I have to watch Freddie, he's got balls ,he's interesting but his motorcycle knowledge is scanty....

Yes the UK is doomed- ridiculous policies by some of the dumbest politicians anywhere on the planet

Nice to see you out and about. The UK desperately needs growth which isn't going to happen. I work in the city of London and its the worst job market in 20 years layoffs everywhere. The UK is on an unsustainable fiscal trajectory due to the real growth rate of the economy, which should exceed the real interest rate and with debt to GDP over 100% this really matters. A larger deficit will overshoot the government predictions (OBR has confirmed) and in the coming years, this is going put inflationary pressure and will result in higher interest rates. Don't get me started on the green taxes and net zero commitments from the UK. UK has the highest energy prices of all G10 economies and commercial electricity prices are 4 to 5 times the level in France, so no wonder the UK cannot manufacture at scale. I was hoping the government would reduce corporation tax and increase the personal allowance with no more tax rises!!!!!

Great too see you out on the big cat Nick, we gotta get out and enjoy life.

I couldn't agree more, Nick. I'm in Canada and we've got some very serious issues here too, many of which are directly caused by our government. I avoid watching/listening to the news. I find I'm much happier. Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss. I've got many more years behind me than I do ahead of me, so in my twilight years, happiness is #1 for me. I couldn't agree with you more about the TFT on the Tiger. So many people complain about the lack of info on the home screen. For me, less is more. Why on Earth does anyone need to look at an odometer all day? It's like watching grass grow. 🤦‍♂️ I've ridden several other bikes with TFT screens and I find them far too busy and distracting. Being able to customize the screen is brilliant. The Tiger is a fantastic bike and I believe it is overlooked by many. Many times I hear KZbinrs list off examples of big adventure bikes, it's almost always BMW, KTM and to a lesser extent, the Honda Africa Twin. Rarely do I hear Triumph mentioned, or even Ducati, for that matter. Ride on and live life, Nick. Cheers. 🍻

Great video Nick and thanks for the shoutout 👊🏽 We’re with you about Freddie and as you can see, we watch your good self too, and increasingly fewer others. I mainly otherwise watch car and camera channels tbh. What beautiful villages and countryside in this video! All the best my friend and love to the family 👍🏼👍🏼

I totally agree best thing I've done lately is stop watching the news/current affairs and I feel a lot better for it..

Nice catch up! 👍🏍🏍👍

What do you mean Nick you only watch 2 channels and not watching mine 😂😂.. only kidding ofcourse ! Yes the Governments making businesses cut back and jobs are and will be going, they’re bloody clueless 😒 Trump that should be interesting 🤔 going forward anyway take care and look forward to seeing your next vlog whenever it is All the best phil green

I don't agree on the Tiger 800. I think it's great that manufacturers are thinking about price. If they don't, there is going to be a Chinese/india takeover. Yes, some premium features are lost, but I would suggest there will be fewer and fewer people out there with 20K + to splash on a new bike. (Especially if our government keeps taxing us to death)

I'm with you 100% with the government mess we're in, we need a massive change., the UK just dosent work anymore 😢 As you know I like the VOGE brand, and I have ridden the BMW f900 and that also has the Chinese engine.... But it really feels like a Chinese engine. I like BMWs alot but they are not as reliable as people think. The new 1300 has had lots of issues which shouldn't happen with a 20k bike. VOGE for me if they get their ducks in a line could be really good.... But the fact is getting their ducks in a line is e where many Chinese brands fall down. I got some grief for having a pop at CF moto, but the facts and what I was talking about is coming into light and people are seeing my points in reality. Good to see another MUK vid. Hope all is well with you and yours. Steve👍

What a stunning bike that is.
