Thanks for your content this year Shaun, looking forward to 2024 😀 Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year cheers

[@MikeTheBike01]

Hi Shaun, hope you have a great Christmas and a HNY with family and friends. Done Ireland / WAW 3 times, so if I can help just ask .... You've certainly made a great choice as some of Ireland (Donegal in the NW) is like Scotland on stilts! And the roads at the extremes are much, much better tarmac! And if you end up in the Wicklow mountains on the old military road, watch out for the very random speed humps! Like Scotland, you could stop too often for photos / scenic spots, but don't let it become a road tour! Enjoy the new Trumpet. Mike.

[@mrcintheuk4641]

I've brought the year to an end by buying a new CB750 Hornet. My first new bike (always 2nd hand and run them into the ground as I knock up the milage) since the early 1980's. Ordering was a 2 month lead-in time but eventually collected it last week. 600 mile service this Friday. For me, less is more and touring light is key. Bring your waterproofs for Ireland! 😉. I'll look forward to next year's offerings. Merry Christmas and a happy New year. 🎊🎉

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Nice looking bike, enjoy it👍😜

Now that would be an awesome trip, too far apart though unfortunately!

Was time to upgrade! My older one was outdated and kinda reached its limits on what I could do with it.

Same to you!

[@BiglumpADV]

Be great to see you at the ABR Shaun, I'll be sure to buy you a beer if you can make it. I'm going for the first time and splashed out on all 4 days 😎

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'll definitely give it a good look👍

[@richiektm]

Get used to that low oil pressure light very common on the engine and if you're doing Ireland make sure you do Northern Ireland coast Road it has got to be one of the most scenic road I have done

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Seems its a common thing, a few people have mentioned that the sensor is sensitive. Not too much to worry about as long as its got oil in it🤣

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I did the Atlantic route in Ireland last year, with my family, so it was in a car alas. There are some good roads that you'll surely enjoy on a bike. There are a lot of blind corners and narrow roads in Ireland so progress may be slower than you're used to. It's not an absolute minus though as you'll get to enjoy the countryside more. You'll change the way you normally ride but it'll be good just the same. Oh, the mountains on the east side are great as well. Mind the wildlife there. Had a few deer cross my path up there. It was scary in a car, imagine how it'll leave yu shitless on a bike lol!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It was fairly similar to travelling up the west coast of Scotland, slow going but really wasn't bothered!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

@@thelikeablerider8800 oh so you’ve already done it then! That’s great. I’ll be looking forward to the vid. There’s a friend up a few km above Dublin. He’s got a channel here on KZbin. His name is Dave and his channel WheelieGoodTV. Channel name a bit cheesy I know but has good honest content like yours and Andy’s. It would have been a good experience if you’d met him I’m sure. Well maybe next time.

[@andrewhey84]

Loving the triumph, looks great! How you finding it now? Seriously thinking of swapping my xr for one of these or a gs in the new year. Merry Christmas Shaun and happy new year 👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Very happy with it Andrew, and way more comfortable!🤣 I really ed enjoyed the GS in Spain, but still lacks that excitement factor that the Triumph has bags of, plus the new GS looks awful🤣

[@JohnGadsby-mi7ui]

Thanks for all your output this year Shaun - I never really comment, but I've enjoyed - especially like your touring stuff. Looking forward to more great content in 2024 - happy holidays to you & yours! If I may be cheeky & sneak in a question - do you think I'd get on well with the Tiger 1200 with my 30 inch inside leg (haven't tried one yet)? Thanks, John.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You'd probably struggle with the Rally Pro, it's really tall! You can drop the ride height at the push of a button, which helps, but it may still be too tall for you. The GT may be the better option, but you'd need to sit on a few and see for yourself. The Tiger 900 could also be a good option for you?

[@assareklund7136]

I bought a low heated seat for my 1200GT Pro and after the software update with the possibility to lower the ride height it is no problem having both feet flat to ground, just replacing the 2022 1200GT Pro with the 1200 GT Explorer just because of the bigger tank😃

[@JohnGadsby-mi7ui]

Thanks for the info - by the way what is your inside leg measurement?

Hi Shaun, I am Jonathan Robertson's Uncle (I believe that you knew him from the military in Germany) from Farnborough in Hampshire and I'm about to launch my own motorbike Vlogging channel. called Me & Jimi. I can see from your channel that you have some great content and you do some amazing tours. I was wondering if when convenient we could hook up either when you are next in the UK or by phone, so that you can give me some pointers and advice on what I should be doing when starting out? Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Noel

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Noel Yes of course, I'm pretty sure we've met! It's a hard game this KZbin thing, but I'm happy to help where possible.

[@meandjimi2024]

Thanks for the. reply Shaun. Yes come to think of it, I'm sure that I met you at a BBQ on the front lawn of my brother Dennis's place when I arrived on either my GSA or the 1200RT. Just watching your video and you mentioned Ireland in 2024. I'm doing a 3 week tour in May. I'm taking my Himalayan to a mates place just outside of Dublin on my trailer and then my wife will be doing 2 weeks in the car then she flies back home and my mate and some of his Harley buddies will be heading down to Killarney for the long weekend bike festival. What audio are you using with your Insta 360? Hope to catch up sometime 😊

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Not been to Ireland before, it looks amazing! I use an external audio recorder, the Zoom F2 with a lavalier mic that's mounted inside my helmet. The audio from the cameras isn't usable, as they pick up mostly wind noise.

If you end up going to Ireland, check out “Adventure Bike Pilot”. He’s an Irishman on a GS that adds a whole new level to the “ Wild Atlantic Way”.
