2021 BMW R nineT Urban GS first impressions | Half a pigeon

Join me for a sunny ride and a waffle on the new BMW R nineT / R9T, however it's spelled. I'll give you my first impressions, talk about my love of photography, take some photos, point at half a pigeon and generally chat about whether I think I'm a journalist or influencer (hoho, haha, sigh)

I find the stickie-outie-sideways R donk aesthetically awkward but I'm glad it's still around to keep things interesting. Low C of G n all that beardy stuff...

Fascinating self-therapy session - looking forward to the BMW R18 coach review.

12:44 Bodger and Badger 🎵? Great video as always, it makes me want to blow the dust off my bike this week and get out! I noticed you have a ND filter on your chest mounted GoPro, how are you getting on with that? Does it make a big difference (new to GoPro ownership!)

[@timrodierides]

Antiques Roadshow, but you’re close! Yeah it’s a PolarPro ND filter set, it just adds a bit of cinematic motion blur to my crap videos and brings the colours closer to how they look. Can only use them on the GoPro 9 because it has removable lenses - the 8 didn’t have that function.

Agree with your white line policy 👍

When I used the super secret photo location for a few snaps, I was immediately asked what I was doing there! I guess I look like a dodgy fly tipper person 🙄🙈😂

[@timrodierides]

Ah yes, I know the owners and have permission to do my thing there - they’re understandably wary of people turning up uninvited so to speak!

[@DontPanicDear]

@@timrodierides I concluded my dogging / fly tipping activities and headed back to Beare Green 😂 On another note, Carwow YT has been hacked by Bitcoin bots 😂

Post a joke? 'New Dad gets a sleep in'

[@thebiker3895]

would have been good if you'd actually spoken about the bike instead of rambling a load of crap.....a couple of the images were good though , it wasn't much of an impression.....

[@timrodierides]

I’m doing a full review in a few weeks, keep your hair on angry internet man

[@thebiker3895]

@@timrodierides LOL, okaydokay, looking forward to the review.....
