Channel & Life Update || Shotgun & Supermeteor 😃

[@danielmcneil3004]

Hey guys, thanks for the update and for the exciting news of your Oct. move. Suze, glad you are feeling better and hope to see more of you on the channel. Cheers and have a safe trip home. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Dan, Really appreciate the kind sentiment there. The ferry was fine, bit tired after the long drive but in a way it's nice to be back, colder busier etc but being away makes you appreciate the best parts of UK. Canada must be hotting up now, hope you've had a few more trips out! Cheers, Sean

[@ShaktiSuzie]

Thank you so much for your support, I'll definitely be showing up more as I get better - I love being on the channel and I love reading all your comments 😊❤

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Have a safe journey home.....oh boy, you'll miss those blue skies though...

[@ShaktiSuzie]

Already are haha!

[@LumpyCarbs]

Love the glass half full attitude of your better half. Please do bring that weather back here, we need it.

[@ShaktiSuzie]

Awww thank you, that's a lovely thing to say ❤

[@LumpyCarbs]

@@ShaktiSuzie you always raise the spirits. It must be the mindfulness, perhaps I should join my wife in Her Yoga.🧘

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

You should! Ride for longer!

[@markfortin8286]

I hope you two had a good trip back to the UK! I was surprised to find that the Bullet 350 was not only coming to the US, but was on showroom floors. I went down to the dealership last weekend to have a look. I liked what I saw, but of course the salesman was much more interested in showing me the Shotgun 650. To be honest, I was impressed. I did not think I would like it as much as I did. The blacked out engine and exhaust isn’t to my personal taste, but that could be changed enough with a new rocker cover and exhaust that it wouldn’t bother me too much. The quality has come way up since my 2019 Interceptor. I was blown away when I saw the front suspension was Showa. Should go a long way improving what was a weak point on the earlier 650s. I sat on it, and in spite of its custom looks, it’s really is a standard. Unfortunately, no test ride was offered. Dealerships here are really getting worse and worse at that. I suspect it’s an insurance thing. Still, not very reasonable to expect someone to buy a new bike without testing it out. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it, especially after being out on the Triumphs lately, as well.

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Hi Mark, the bullet is a nice bike but it's too similar to the Classic 350 for me. I'd probably have a shotgun over a bullet. It will be interesting to see it up close... I've not even seen one in the metal yet! Cheers, Sean

[@namduran]

Thanks for the update guys. Good to see you both enjoyed your adventure and looking forward to see what you make of the Royal Enfields. Oh and also looking forward to finding out where you plan to move to. I hope you get some decent weather but if you’re in need of a quick cheap get away - fly over to Girona Airport and I’ll pick you up and you can spend some time in Blanes 👍😊

[@ShaktiSuzie]

We will DEFINITELY take you up on that gorgeous offer thank you Nigel. Will be so great to catch up with you at some point soon ❤ I hear you're off to Blanes soon? Have a great one x

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

As Suzie says that's very kind thank you Nigel. We definitely want to come back to Blanes ☺️😃

[@ianfutcher1518]

It would be boring if videos were just about bikes so great to see what you are both doing

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Ian, appreciated. I do have to find a balance between bike stuff and travel updates on here, I think we are in the right ball park now though. I've not seen any complaints recently! 😂

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Safe trip home guys 😊. Kelly and I also planned to up sticks and retire to the sun (Spain or Greece), but we've been scuppered by the Schengen rule. Unfortunately, we can't afford to have two properties and so we can't do the 90 day thing. We did look into permanent residency but the required minimum income and proof of significant cash reserve is beyond our means. Good luck to you both, though and if you can make your dream come true - do it! 😊😊

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Phil, appreciable that. Keep an eye on the rules as they do seem to change every couple of years with new incentives to get people to these countries whether it's digital nomad visas or the like they still want the money of Germans, Dutch and British! Cheers, Sean

[@garywoods765]

Safe journey home hope you get better

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thank you Gary and hope the new BSA dealer in NI is located close to where you live!

[@crumblymal8479]

Great stuff guys been missing lately with loads going on house move then some dark stuff which took a lot of my time but things are back on track so looking forward to seeing more and nice to see suzy looking well also seeing how you get on with the shotgun and new Himmie 👌👍

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Hi Crumbly, well I hope you are doing OK. House moving is a massive pain, we've found it very wears you down travelling from place to place and packing and re packing. Glad things are back on track with you, a bike ride always seems to help when times are tough. The Shotgun I'm probably more excited about than the Himmy I don't really know why... maybe the 450 will surprise me!

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

Great to see suzie glad she’s ok ✅ bring some sun with you itl be good to see you two on home territory again 😊😊 Have a good trip and watch you soon Atb phil

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Hi Phil, thanks appreciate that and Suzie does as well. I actually think we did bring the sun as it looks like it's going to be good today. Coming back I'm really appreciating the nice stuff about England. That's a nice thing about travelling I didn't expect. I hope all is good with you 👍😊

[@ShaktiSuzie]

Thank you, that's really kind 💕

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

@@MindfulMotorcyclist I’m all good thank you Sean just busy workwise and just need some sun ☀️ and lose some beef I’ve put on 😂😂 over the dismal winter and spring months 😎😎 biking wise just need to get out more Just testing that old machine I’ve done the clutch on which looks to be all good now 😊 Every days a school day otherwise life will be boring Enjoy the weekend ☀️☀️ Phil 👍👍

[@bankruptpensioner]

Great vid. ❤

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Cheers BP, and good luck selling your GS. Hope the T120 is doing well and soon time for the first service no doubt.

[@2wheeledwillie395]

I love you both 😍

[@ShaktiSuzie]

We love you toooooo ❤ Happy Birthday for yesterday, hope you liked the voice note x

[@2wheeledwillie395]

​@ShaktiSuzie Thanks Sooz! Loved the voice message! You two are the best x ❤️

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

We are the best 👌. Fanticastic don't you think Willie? 😚🤔🫣. Nothing to see here 😅🤣

[@larrywade9041]

From your friend/fan from the other side of the pond. I have a non-related motorcycle request for Suzie PLEASE. Can you please tell me what is written on the inside of your left arm? I am having to put the video on pause to many times & spinning my computer around to try & get the right angle to read it. (LOL) Love you guys & have a beautiful day! Cheers mate!! Illinois, USA

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Haha 😄 ... I've messaged Suzie to ask, I know roughly what it says but I don't want to miss quote it. Sounds weird as I could just look at her arm 😂 but I'm on a train and she's currently asleep bless her. Will reply again when she's awake.

[@ShaktiSuzie]

Heyyyy of course I can tell you that, what a lovely thing to ask! "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go" and then above it is the Kilimanjaro outline. I had it after I climbed Kili because I was told I shouldn't do it by my Cardiologist consultant because of my heart problem, and I did it anyway and it was one of the best things I've ever done! 💪✨️🙏🤸🏼‍♀️💚

[@larrywade9041]

​@@ShaktiSuzie Thanks for sharing this info Suzie. Congratulations for your success in climbing that big hill. Now I can quit going to the chiropractor to get my neck back into alignment(LOL). I'll be looking forward to your test rides on those bikes. Have a great day my Brit friends. Cheers!! Illinois, USA

[@willyrackham2957]

Great update thank you .....i will be really interesting to see your take on the shotgun ..i didnt like the colour schemes on them ...untill i saw the green one with yellow flashes ...great looking bike with sensible footrest position ...for me anyway.

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Willy. It's weird with the shotgun there has been a mini backlash against it. I think because RE are diverging from their classic styling on the 650 platform. The powder blue launch colour certainly made a statement 💙!

[@LordTarbicus9497]

Nice update , I was down Midwest a couple of weeks ago at the open day plus investing in more Indian goods ! The RE display was impressive and the Shotgun looked amazing. Can’t wait to see your video of the test ride Safe journey back you pair Regards Tarby of the Tower 😊

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Haha Tarby of the tower, love that. Sherrif Lumpy of Small Heath hasn't caught me yet😂. I do like to go upto Midwest, just a lovely place to hang out. I'm glad the Indian is working out so well. Nice bike to be fair 👍.

[@mickdukes2732]

Sorry you have to leave such a beautiful place.

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Cheers Mick, we'll do our best to come back 👍

[@peakrider4886]

It’s been great to follow along with your adventures and look forward to seeing you back in the uk. If you’re ever down Cornwall way, send me a message and I can help guide you to some amazing places!!

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Peak rider, really appreciate that. Cornwall is mint fair play, lovely place 👏

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Spain is a great place ro ride. Better than Portugal, in my opinion. I'm going there from Portugal in a couple of weeks. Nick

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

As part of the entertainment schedule on the crossing back we actually listened to a presentation and I bought a book from a guy on the ferry who was telling the passengers the best of Spain and he did it on his Moto Guzzi. Very interesting man. Spain has a lot to offer!

[@richardjohnson3463]

Safe home folks

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Thanks Richard 😊

[@pggp273]

I love the Enfield Brand but i found my test ride on the Shotgun very underwelming

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Why was that out of interest? I'm due to ride the shotgun in a few weeks and wanted to know what to look for... 🤔

[@TheAgalmic]

I never thought I'd hear someone say they are coming to the UK because of Mark!!!! I know he makes a mean sponge cake...

[@MindfulMotorcyclist]

Hahaha. He also knows all about Portugal 🇵🇹. I just like it up at Midwest, great people and super bikes 🏍 👍. You must be out and about on the Diaval now the weather is picking up!

[@thomfrost2594]

Lose the girl! 😬
