I should have mentioned you Paul, sorry about that 😉

@ianhughesroyalenfield it's all good , Iam no star anyway, thanks Ian.

@paulsilson2148 ❤️

Thanks Nick, it really is stunning.

Thanks Malcolm. The next is more lanes, still running in, and more moans about the Beeline I no longer have 😂 Going home for a couple of days tomorrow, so will try to get out on a quick run around the block 😎

Nice of you to say, thank you.

Thanks Glynn, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Malcolm, glad you enjoyed it. Bloody roads closed all over the place lately, some with better diversion routes than others 🙄, and some we can confidently ignore 😂

Brilliant, and well done for getting those Kms done in a short time. You are going to have fun with the extra 2k revs 👍 Cheers

Thanks Mence, future ones might not be quite so calm 😂🤞

Thanks Chris. Yes, been here before, a couple of times I think. I just can't seem to find a spare couple of hours to get out at the moment, so much to do 😪

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Yes, you've got a lot on your plate at present. Everything in the fullness of time.

Hi Chris, this brown one is a Speedwear Gresford Wax Cotton Jacket kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6LdgJ-ZhJJrircsi=7xdmnAVDhzvHa_j_ which is now sadly discontinued, however, Speedwear do still have an excellent range, and made in Britain too 😉 Cheers

Thanks James 🤗

Thanks James, very nice of you to say 🤗

😂 Phil, my toes get cold sitting in our home (like a static caravan). In Autumn/winter, I have thick socks and a hot water bottle. Gas is too expensive to use Willy Nilly 😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Poor you, I'll have to get you some toastie slippers for Christmas 😁 By the way, my name's Philly Nilly not Willy Nilly 🤣 Have you managed any miles yet since your first service, I know you've busy with family stuff .....

@PAGallagher 😂, sorry I got your name wrong 😂. Oo, warm electric heated slippers would be nice. Not had chance to get out, but we do return home very briefly tomorrow (till Thursday), so hope to get out for a run around on Wednesday (or even possibly tomorrow afternoon). I need some relevant content for on here 🤔😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Well, at least we're all in for some more dry weather albeit, at the expense of 50 shades of grey ..... I will interested to hear your comments with 2000 more rpm on tap 😊

@PAGallagher yes Phil, though I think the cheerful tone in my voice will give it away 😂😂

Oh thanks Dezmond, always nice to have a compliment like this. The Howgills are stunning, the way the sun catches them, leaving the shadows, makes them quite haunting.

Thanks Mike, to be honest, it made the ride better having the detour. Cheers

Thanks Ian, it was bloody cold 🥶😂. Yes, both the M6 and A6 there are stunningly beautiful, but I guess from a viewing perspective, it might be a tad boring 🥱😂

🫣😂

We see it again from behind in the next release. I just googled it, Rover 100 P4……..I got mixed up 😂 Cheers

@ love the old Rovers…well up to the SD1…then not so much

@hectorshouse7348 quite agree. The P5B and P6 V8 were my favourite. I almost bought a P5B when I was in my early 20’s. I thought it was so much cooler 😎 than stuff my mates were driving. Mind you, I was driving an Austin A60 Cambridge back then 😂

@ I would’ve been cool…memorable😃👍

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Hmm, memories, Ian! The P5B was a lovely car. My office at Rover was in the middle of the plant. The P5B finishing line and the trim line of the (original, 2-door) Range Rover were one side of the office, with the three Land-Rover finishing lines on the other side. The P6 & P6B were built on the same site at Solihull, but in a different factory. My car at that time was an A55 Farina Cambridge.

Thanks Mike. I really need things to get back to normal, so I can get some up to date vids done, just so busy down here at the moment. Walking, far too healthy for my liking 😂. A few years ago I did some nice rides around Kirkby Stephen, on my Interceptor. Will have to take Scorpio up there. 😎

Smoothest bit 😂

Indeed RR 👍

Oh Yes , Well done RR😂🤣

😂

Thanks Colin, yes an older video. I really need to get back to normal, but there is such a lot to sort out following my dad passing away. Just can’t get a couple of free hours at the moment 😢. The farmer’s around here, do have their moments 🤬. Hopefully you get a dry run 👍

Hi Ian, yes I thought it was with the passing of your dad that your running behind, and rightly so, your family and affairs have to take priority, take care mate ....... Colin ☺️

Thanks Colin, I just don’t want to p**s people off, showing older footage.

I wouldn't worry about that, ........ Colin ☺️

I am Blake…..just need to get some up to date vids done, but spending a lot of time sorting things out following dad’s passing.

Take care of family and life first then worry about YT. ​@@ianhughesroyalenfield

@BlakesPipes thanks Blake.

Aww, well at least they brought back some memories Chris, that’s a win for me in itself 👍 Cheers

It would be unfair for me to post an opinion of two up plus luggage, when I haven’t ridden this way, it would just be a guess. Perhaps have a look on a Facebook (or similar) group and ask the question. Rear racks and pannier brackets aren’t available yet here in the uk, though some owners are buying from India. If pushed for an answer, you can tour on anything, but I would suggest there are better bikes out there for the job. Even the Himalayan 450, which shares the same engine and other components, but the ecu is mapped differently……obviously the Himi 450 stands taller, so if I was you, I would take a test ride on both, preferably two up, to give you an idea. Hope this helps.

Thank you 😊

😂

Thanks Glyn, tell him it’s a 2006 Gobur Clubman Carousel ……. the biggest Gobur did 😎

Was that using the Beeline Andrew ? I blame a lot on my blasted Google Pixel 7a phone as well. Also, a Beeline issue for me, missing the flashing lights warning of an upcoming turning doesn’t help…… 🙄😂

@ yes the original model Beeline. I’m not saying it’s perfect, sometimes out in the countryside there’s been 2 lanes close and I’ve not taken correct one but overall it’s just nice and simple. I get more connectivity problems between iPhone and navigation on my car

@derbyshireruralrider9398 I just haven’t taken to it, which is a shame, as I liked the concept. I have yet another video coming up (probably Thursday), which was made before this last run of vids, where I say why I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe I haven’t given it enough time, maybe the position just isn’t right for me, lot’s of possible’s, but it is now with a new owner in London 😂 and I have Garmin Zumo XT to find fault with 🤪😂 Cheers

Thanks Mike. Garmin already looking better. Can plot a round trip without the need of a subscription 🤗

Thanks Mal…tbh, as you know, I don’t usually release vids every day like I have this week, it’s done my bloody head in let alone anyone watching 😂. I am just trying to catch up on myself, as they aren’t really current now, due to Scorpio being partly run in (those extra 2k revs). I do still have 3 to be released, Monday (2 will be at the same time 🙄) and Thursday, then hopefully current vids. That said, we are bobbing up and down to Nantwich, to sort things out, and helping mum. Scorpio is doing a fair mileage, all in the back of the van though 😂. Have a good rally, hope the weather is kind.

@ianhughesroyalenfield yeah, you've certainly got a lot on your plate, don't know how you find time to do it all 😆, all the best to you! 🙌👍, the weather for the weekend's not supposed to be too bad , thanks, it'll just be a bit nippy at night 🥶😆.

@melfzs we popped back home for 3 nights. I edited 4 vids in that time…..I was seeing double by the end 😂. Take a hot water bottle with you 😉😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield 😄👍

No, it’s just a heated jacket.

Thanks for the quick response. Great video. Would you recommend wearing one with armour? I'm new to this game​@@ianhughesroyalenfield

To be honest, as I have been riding since 1978, when we were at our craziest, protective motorcycle clothing was largely unheard of on the road. We just had denim jackets, jeans and trainers. Then we saved up and bought a leather jacket (no armour). In the early 80’s I progressed to a two piece leather suit (still no armour 😂). I only started wearing clothing with armour in the 2000’s, but equally happy to not bother with it. There is no sure answer, the armour does offer a modicum of protection, but it’s not going to stop breakages in the event of a serious collision. The one thing I do insist on though, are sturdy calf length boots, and decent gloves. Speedwear do a wax jacket, which looks classy, but does have protection in the usual places. I think it’s called the “Pulford”, obviously more expensive, but looks cool 😎 Hope this helps, if not, just ask away.

Man thanks so much. You got another subscriber ​@@ianhughesroyalenfield

Thanks so much for subscribing, anything you want to know, ask away. If I can help I will ……. Meanwhile I hope you will have a look through my extensive back catalogue of vids. I usually put at least one video out each week, sometimes two…..or as per recently a stupid amount 😂

Sorry to hear that Mal. It makes me happy that I managed to help relieve the stress in some small way. Tech which doesn’t involve a mobile phone, is the way to go 👍

Indeed, a right bunch we are too 😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield who's the leader, is it Taym

@paulsilson2148 unfortunately Mr TAYM was unable to make it, so he has been demoted 😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield rightly so. 👍😂

@paulsilson2148 😂

😂 oops, sorry Phil 😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield I should think so!!! ☺Just got to the end of your video, that is proper mucky ....... make sure you give it a good clean, I'll be checking 😁 Been out again today on mine, that's 3 days on the trot since I cleaned it and it's still clean ....... I found some dry roads at last 👍Catch you later, Phil

Err, sorry Phil. Loaded Scorpio in the van dirty, and unfortunately, despite cleaning when we reached Nantwich , when I rode him to the hospital, he got all sh*tty again, so that how he is now, sitting in the van 😢

I was just about to say that 😅. Doesn't it use Google maps to link to your screen 🤔

Because it’s linked to the phone, and I often find myself in areas of no mobile internet, pretty much like the Beeline, so useless for me. A GPS like Garmin is more suitable.

@@ianhughesroyalenfield doesn't Google maps on your phone have offline maps 🤔, I'm sure I've seen on mine Google offline maps updating. Could be worth a try Ian! Not sure if you watched any of itchy boots when she borrowed the pre production Himalayan 450,I think she used the Google map all the time on that trip she did, but having said that she probably had a back up just incase.

@bally632 hmm, I really don’t know to be honest……meanwhile, my Garmin Zumo XT has arrived 😂 thanks though 👍.

😂

Hi Colin. Mainly because I often find myself in area's with poor or no phone internet. The TFT dash relies on the phone internet. So a full on GPS is the answer for me. I haven't even attempted to link my phone, as it is a Google Pixel 7a, which is reported to not be able to connect to the Google based system 🙄😂

Hi Ian, I know what you mean about the phone signal, hence my Garmin, although on the whole Google maps for me win hands down, my phone's Android same as your Google pixel, it should connect no trouble 😵‍💫, ........ Colin ☺️

@droneon29 🤔

😂

Absolutely Ian…..🤬

Thank Nick. The thing is, in any state of panic or annoyance, we of a certain age, don’t think of the obvious 😂

@@ianhughesroyalenfield 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Malcolm. Yes,was nice to see some sun. Next vids are from before these, more scenic, but still bloody running in 😂.

@ianhughesroyalenfield yep I'm not looking forward to the running in process 😕

On reflection it wasn’t that bad…I make it sound worse in the vids really. Just don’t let it lug, it will let you know when you need to change down, as it sounds like a bag of heavy spanner’s 😂. Also a bad time of year for you if you don’t like riding in c**p weather, but hopefully you will get a few half decent days 🤗. I look forward to sharing notes 😉

@ianhughesroyalenfield I've literally just spoke to our local dealer, they are hoping to have a batch delivered towards the end of November, probably not get much of a chance to run it in before April 😂😂

@malcolmtaylor3231 bugger 😪 At least you can sit and admire it 😎

Can’t argue with that my friend.

The town planners obviously just decided to stick em in a corner, out of the way. We walked into that pub, tart behind the bar was chatting to a bloke. We found a table, asked if they did food….NO ! Asked if they did coffee….NO ! Basically just unwelcoming, so went across the road. The lad couldn’t have been more different, moving things around to accommodate us, all with a very pleasant attitude.

Hi Derek, glad you enjoyed the video. Can't believe all the highways people are getting away with not repairing the roads, ridiculous. Yes 20mph really pi***s me off too. That parking was a case of "we can't fit a car in there, oh it'll do for bikes". 😂

@ that sounds about right the bike parking 👍🏍️

Good evening Phil, septic gave me a giggle. I too like the look of the silencer, and will probably go for a decat pipe at some point. They are available in India, but unsure whether they are stainless. No doubt the Brits will come up with something.

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Yeah, that would be interesting. The standard exhaust system doesn't sound terrible but I'm sure it could be improved ...... it's all this Euro nonsense. Having said that, I do really like how it crackles and pops coming down the box when slowing down ....... 😁A bit 'bad boy' 👍😋 And yes, the end can does look good on the Interceptor, too.

Thanks Mike. The Interceptor has a pair of Enfield Precision silencers with baffles removed, and DNA air filter.. I am sure Andy said it has a different camshaft inside too. It sounds nice and fruity 😎

😂, he’ll get run over then 😂 cheers

Indeed….obviously not a motorist 🙄🤬 Thanks
