[@GabeTheAmerican]

Your videos have been so informative and influential to me! I’m very new to motorcycles and have really appreciated your commentary and reviews, especially regarding the sentimental vibe behind riding. It’s a Royal Enfield for me, and largely because of this channel. So appreciated!

[@clarefeatherstone5429]

A fairly cheap way to keep your motorcycle condensation free is to put a small tubular green house type heater underneath the bike , then we put cheap painters dust sheets over the bike, then a cheap blue tarp. Cost about £40 for the set up. We keep 4 motorcycles dry with one tiny heater. Its like a heated tent. Thanks for your videos and hope this helps 🙏😎ps i also use acf50 too 😊

[@flatcapcaferacer]

Actually a lot of insightful commentary in a short video. I think people who routinely have negative comments make creators like yourself question the value of their hard work, time and money. It is disappointing not to have your efforts appreciated but then to have a few folks pile on with sometimes unjustified criticism in infuriating.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Like I say, I don’t care about the haters, everyone gets them, it’s just a lack of ‘lovers’ recently in our Harley videos, which will probably mean that Harley won’t rush to send us another bike because the views are so low.

[@flatcapcaferacer]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan I remember wondering at the time when you bought the R18 and replaced the Harley if that might cost your channel some Harley viewers. I'll soon be replacing three bikes on my channel and I'm curious if some of the make and model specific viewers might drift away from too .

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@flatcapcaferacer Yes that definitely happened, although Darcy has a Harley.

[@reidspeed77]

Actually

[@gerrybailey447]

The problem stems from the fact that all bikers are humans and with that there is always going to be a large number of assholes, just because they like to swing their legs over a bike can't change that. Some humans love the feeling of feeling superior and when they form an opinion, well that's it, doesn't matter if the bike that's the apple of their eye is the biggest pile of junk ever fucked together they'll look down on others and try to convince them the piece of shit they're wobbling around on is what everyone should be wobbling around on. 😂

[@aapddd]

I know it is difficult dealing with haters. You tell yourself that you don’t care, but still they get under your skin. There are enough of us who don’t hate, and love your content.

[@melfzs]

That's the problem with unlined corrugated roof panels as well in a garage, in the winter the condensation freezes , then as the temperature rises throughout the day , it starts dripping down onto the bikes , that was the issue in my garage anyway. As someone has already suggested I got myself some fleece lined bike covers, and you can use the less expensive method of cotton bed sheets with a tarp over the top , just air them out occasionally. On the haters I don't get these people? What's wrong with them? You guys put a lot of your time into producing these vlogs , you deserve better! 🤷‍♂️

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

The roof does have the anti condensation lining. It’s not a drip problem but the cold metal of the bike, combined with warmer damp air change that causes it

[@melfzs]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Ah good stuff, I have the plastic corulux panels, unlined, they're a pain in the freezing days of winter when they start to thaw out , it's like a bloody shower sometimes! 😅😅, on the plus side being transparent they let loads of natural light in .👍

[@paulregner5335]

Over the course of my life, I've owned and ridden Kawasaki's, Hondas, Husqvarna's, Harleys, and Triumphs. The Harley was a chopped '48 hard tail with a Pan/Shovel engine and suicide shifter that I attribute to pulverizing my lower spine. In spite of that machine nearly taking my life on numerous occasions I've yet to eschew videos regarding Harleys (nor do I seek them out). What has ultimately soured me on the brand is a change in brand culture here in America. The whole "Ride to live, live to ride" attitude has been replaced with "ride a dozen miles to the nearest coffee shop and back, then spend the rest of the day rubbing the bike with an old cloth diaper in the garage" attitude. I get it, considering what a Harley costs these days, and if this makes the current crop of owners happy (they tend to be less blue-collar and much more white-collar professionals these days), then more power to them, but I'll stick with rolling-up 10k miles/year on my Triumph. 👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

That aftermarket exhaust looks perfect.

[@HornsoftheStagg]

Collab now that you've both got R18s? 🖤

[@rabukan5842]

You don't have to explain what you are doing with your channel. You can do whatever you want. Some people will be negative no matter what you do. Most of us just appreciate what you and Darcy are doing. So just keep doing it the best that you know how. We'll be here watching :)

[@EdMunn-f6u]

Sorry to hear that there are ‘Harley Haters’ out there who criticize your reviews of the iconic brand! I enjoy commentary and reviews of all makes and models of motorcycles. Being from the Pacific Northwest in America, and a Harley owner, I do like your reviews of the Harley Davidson from a European perspective. I think true motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy your reviews and insight’s regardless of the brand. Keep up the good work!

[@varmastiko2908]

You only get hate when you matter. That out of the way, here's for many more years of quality content and honest opinions. You guys are making a positive mark on the internet. That's something to appreciate.

[@MerciaMoto]

Very down to earth, entertaining and informative video. I’ve never understood why folks have to post negative comments on videos or expect content to be made specifically for their individual requirements 🤷🏻‍♂️ great content, thank you 👍🏻

[@farracuda]

It is easy to be a lounge chair critic without having any experience at riding the bike they’re hating on. I have a 2018 Street Bob and it has provided me with more fun than any other road bike that I have owned. I like to see reviews of any bike especially knowing that I’ll never have the opportunity to ride them. 👍🏽

[@Lee-70ish]

Never understood bike haters. Its always going to be objective. I like my little classic 350 reborn chrome Enfield. Many dont . Fine dont buy one. I've a list of bikes that are not my cup of tea going right back the Aerial Leader that was around when I started riding. But Im never going to say dont buy . Its your money as long as you are happy enjoy your bike. Oh I use two old bed sheets to cover my bike in the garage and never had condensation problems. Happy riding guys Lee

[@christianmichaelis4201]

I don’t thank you enough for your content. You’ve become a quiet comfort as I have progressed down the KZbin rabbit hole. Keep going strong, you’re in a league of your own. Cheers, Christian.

[@Andy_ATB]

The haters have sad little lives with nothing better to do. Carry on doing your stuff!!

[@davidmatthews3093]

The haters might simply have different likes and standards. It’s not very adult to accept everything as perfect if you believe it’s flawed. Disagreeing with something does not make someone a hater, it makes them a critic and that migh5 simpl6 be because they can offer a better explanation or a different example. Respect needs to be earned.

[@andrewiansummers]

Morning fellas. Just flying the flag for the channel. I think you're videos are fabulous. Of course you have to advertise, any normal person understands, you shouldn't need to even explain! Keep em coming x

[@aaron.black107]

I love making videos (albeit not as good as yours) it still cost me over 4K for a computer and software to do it, another 1k on cameras and equipment. 18k on a bike and so on… I’d love to get paid someday. Right now it’s just the most expensive hobby I’ve ever had! Totally get what you’re saying - keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@steveconnellan1531]

Thanks again for another little video big fella. Dont worry about the haters, I ride an old dyna low rider over here in Oz and cant be bothered what others think. Not much into yellow bikes but absolutely adore the colour of that Enfield. Cheers mate

[@TallBiker]

Hopefully the negative comments don't dampen your enthusiasm too much. Every time I see the R18 I would like to have one more, especially as the price of a very low mileage example is getting closer to within reach for me. Regarding condensation, you might look into fitting insulation to the inside of your doors and roof - all that metal just means the temperature inside becomes the same as outside. I'm about to insulate my garage doors before this winter. Keep up your videos (both of you) as I do enjoy them and find them motivating, as do many others 😎👍

[@lamportprez3714]

Hey man, park the bike over an old bit of carpet with a cover and you’ll find condensation will reduce - cheers

[@wingandhog]

Lots of folks have their hands out these days and think it’s shameful to earn a living. They have no clue how expensive it is just to have the proper gear to produce footage. Keep plugging along. I appreciate all your content.

[@mloclam6917]

You're welcome to make a living,your content is appreciated by many,all the best

[@oldbloke9270]

Hi Fella. My garage suffers from a small amount of condensation/dampness during the cold months. What really helped combat this was to place 3 or 4 large plastic trays around the garage floor filled with salt which absorbs a lot of the dampness (if thats the right word). Best, Old Bloke.

[@gzk6nk]

I look forward to your videos; Ignore the moaners. What actually causes condensation in a shed is the bikes radiate any heat out into the surrounding air and the metal gets cold. Condensation forms when air with a high moisture content (the ambient air in shed , especially on rainy days) gets cooled on contact with the cold metal. When air with a high moisture content is cooled, it can no longer contain so much water so some of it condenses out onto the cold bike. It's the same process that forms dew on grass on clear nights - the grass radiates its heat off in to the clear air and becomes colder than the air in contact with-it. The cooled air gives up some of its moisture which is deposited onto the grass as dew.

[@waynepaterson450]

Never be rattled by people who leave negative comments. That is a reflection of them, not you. I enjoy and appreciate your channel and the work that goes in to make it. Keep them coming.

[@malcolmpatton9314]

That’s very disappointing someone watched a video knowing what bike was going to be reviewed simply leave a negative comment. Why watch the bike review if you are not interested in the bike ? Your Chanel is very good and advertising is part of helping the people who make the effort to entertain us. I have done tours in Gran Canaria after watching a utube video I have purchased a brand of motorcycle after reviewing on utube so I for one appreciate all the effort you guys put in. I live in Australia now but watching your rides in the beautiful country side and old churches is very interesting.

[@user-xl2st4xk5w]

Another cracking, honest vid. Can't imagine overnight condensation will be a problem in Spain

[@davidallen1213]

Regarding damp / condensation, I would recommend buying a hot air motorcycle drier. I got mine for about £75 and it has adjustable heat and air pressure. They work brilliantly and easily and quickly evaporate any water from the surfaces and all the many nooks and crannies on a bike. Getting one was a revelation for me... I never again have to worry about parking up a damp bike.

[@OmarSher]

This was so natural. nothing was pre written etc. Loved that.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

By the way none of our reviews either are scripted apart from writing down a few specs 👍🏼

[@franktreadwell3442]

My bikes are always rust free in the garage here in the UK. Under the bike cover (and underneath the bike) I have a metre long tube heater and an electric dehumidifier running all the time. I also have an Optimate battery charger connected all the time. There is usually about half a pint of water to empty from the dehumidifier every 3-4 days. I was at the BMW showroom in Welwyn yesterday, looking at the Roctane. Staggeringly beautiful bike. Would love it if they also did a chromed out version (not a fan of the blacked out look). I test rode the R18 first edition and classic about a year ago and loved them. Currently riding an Indian Springfield Classic...at 6'2" it's wonderful.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

May I suggest you keep the bikes vulnerable metal areas , including frame joints , lightly covered with the product ( or similar ) as you showed permanently from Autumn to Spring , it will pay dividends .The chrome these days , is often a victim as it is porous, and the old way of copper and nickel plating underneath as a protective barrier is not applied now on most machines and many cleaners just rub the surface away further.Great content videos and always much enjoyed , disregard the stupid comments.

[@Buslife57]

An old mate use to drape a cover over his bike and leave a 50watt light bulb on under the cover. I'll be doing this when winter arrives

[@spdaltid]

No need for the childish hate. Ride what you like. Have an open mind. A different style may open a whole new world of fun riding. Life's too short and I'm keen to see impressions of all kinds of bikes, even if they're not my cup of tea. For now.....

[@Twin_solo_az]

I left a comment on the last Harley video just rhetorically asking if it’s objectively worth $30k. I like Harley’s too, bit it’s hard to find the value. But I guess that’s the difference between “like” and “love”. When you move to Spain all this winter prep and rust will be a thing of the past. Watching this makes me grateful I live in the desert with a 365 day riding season, despite the rest of it.

[@resin8n]

You make some great videos that are appreciated by many. However, remember, there are always those who don't put effort into anything and find it effortless to complain! Keep up the good work as it's appreciated.

[@raze94]

I come here cause of the content. Honest reviews and great personalities. Who's complaining about promotion? Selfish people not understanding people need to pay the bills. Keep up the great work!

[@ostevoostevo1592]

I'm a lover of your videos. Please keep up the excellent work !

[@nicholashill1000]

Insulation. That's what you need, especially inside a metal shed. It helps stop the extremes of temperature change ,thus condensation.

[@sefton1972]

Yeah I’ve got a metal shed & it’s a nightmare in the cold weather. As soon as you open the door everything is wet. ACF50 is my friend.

[@benkelly2190]

A simple man, I maybe, I also cannot stand (TV) ads, I actually turn them down, or over, constant bombardment, is incredibly wearing. How ever, I do appreciate, why you tubers have to do it. I subscribe through choice, because, I enjoy the content, I also appreciate the hard work that goes in. So advertise away! I’m in your corner! Stay safe. Out!😋

[@davehudson2064]

Someone from a Honda group gave me some advice on keeping condensation away from bikes. I’ve tried it and it seems to work well. Get an old double duvet and put it over the bike. It absorbs the condensation. I asked my wife for an old duvet for the bike to try it out and she now believes I put the bike to bed every evening 😂😂😂

[@bhavyadhuria2032]

You make really interesting and informative videos l. I like to listen your points of view, might not always agree with them but always love watching your videos. Please do continue making videos and ignore the haters, I guess it's a part of being a content creator in the 21st century but don't let it stop you :)

[@christopherashley86]

As a photographer who does a few motorcycle roadside shoots around Cheshire and NE Wales I understand exactly where you are coming from. Its tough enough editing photos to then post online. Making a video is another order of magnitude in terms of effort. I wouldn't have a Harley for myself but hey are a thing of beauty and I love photographing them.I also enjoy your reviews of them.

[@andytownsend9163]

Ol' man and a bonus vid happy days, desiccant dehumidifier will keep the condensation away, provide a little warmth and work down to near freezing. Agree the R18 looks better without the rack. Cheers Ol'man ❤👍

[@1990-t1j]

Nice cap, Ol' Man. In Portugal, where I am selling up, I have a garage in the basement of the condo block which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Totally dry. Leave the backrest/rack on. It's useful and looks great. The fishtail exhaust is stunning. Leave it. The shark fin one looks awful. Why waste money? Bikes are meant for riding. You are right. Finally, there's nowt wrong with Harleys. Nick J

[@BlueRidgeRider]

Nice video. While there are millions of Harley riders there are also millions of KZbinrs who post about them. It is rare that Harley produces anything extraordinary but when they do everyone hates it!😆

[@mantarayal]

Was worried when you said the house you're looking at in Spain has no garage. Still worried. Really like your channel. Ad content? Freddie seems to be fine with it, but manages to fit it in really well. Other YTs just won't, but maybe they have the option not to. Hey. Do you cook? I've seen two hands chop an onion and add some mince and herbs and fry it and they had 4 million views. Not kidding. YT is nuts. You guys are definitely on the right track. Most of us (I'm guessing) enjoy all of the bikes, big and small, but also enjoy a calming chat about them and some cool riding scenery. Love from NZ. Stay cool and ride safe the two of you and anyone watching.

[@highup01]

I own a BMW S100RR M Sport but still love this channel.

[@DucatiDiaries]

Well said about the KZbin work. Tons of work goes into scripting, recording, editing, not to mention investments of our own money.

[@WOLFIE-96B-UK]

Personally I enjoy all your videos, I ride a Harley and an old BMW R80 but love all bikes and hearing different opinions on them. Keep 'em coming and ignore the negativity of the haters. 👍

[@nightsterfan]

Being new to watching alot of utube bike videos. I believe alot of people are pushing the harley lifestyle. Also you learn pretty quick people who are sincere reviewers of bikes and who the sellers are. As for old man and Darcy your consistent, honest and balanced reviews are trustworthy and i will alway watch and listen. Iam alway interested in any bike you review As I love all bikes . As for advertising in today's world its a fact. If you don't like skip it.

[@alecv4622]

Thanks for the continued great content. For me personally i dont care much what bike is being reviewed, its the presentation style, real and genuine, along with some great environments to see along the way which is a draw for me. I use an old rug on the garage floor to help keep damp rising off the ground, although do want to replace with a flatter mat at some point.

[@8610sarge]

I'm sure that there's a group of people who watch KZbin who are actually proffessional whingers, no matter what you do they'll whinge and whine, ignore them and keep making the videos, 👍🏻

[@giovanniricci2869]

Actually it’s not that I don’t like HD, it’s just that it’s not the kind of bike that fits my tatares and riding. Nevertheless, what I like is watching good content, sometimes even more about bikes that I’m less familiar with, such as yours. I can guess it’s not easy but maybe just ignore haters and, most of all, keep producing your amazing videos. Thanks ✌️

[@stevied6286]

I think the Royal Enfield connection has such a dramatic customer base that perhaps comparing a super Meteor with a sportster or other custom machines including second hand bikes which outsell new bikes dramatically may be a route to huge numbers..picking a new bike and comparing with a similar older model may draw in a new crowd . I can't afford a Harley or a BMW R18, but a Kawasaki Vn 1600 or Honda Vt is within reach and the similarities are more than skin deep. I am currently researching older bikes whilst keeping an eye on the options arriving on the new bike scene is driving me towards alternatives that are not restricted by A2 power limits or Euro-nonsense restrictions.I think the channel is Brilliant because I love motorcycles regardless of who makes them and their shape, size & power, but what fits me and what I can afford is a very different matter..Brick -built heated-garage is the way forward 🤣🤣!!

[@pushrod76]

Hey mate , I watch all of your vids... No complaints! I also have Freedom fishtails fitted to one of my bikes... No complaints!

[@ALifetimeMeasuredinMiles]

Ignore the haters, life is too short, do what you enjoy. As for condensation, I tend to use a cover, even if it’s just some cotton sheets, does help with condensation issues. I tend to also use a bit of acf50 or something similar, as a preventive too.

[@phils2180]

Maybe look into a small solar panel and a couple of 12v fans to get some airflow in the garage plus a couple of those damp crystal holders that are sold for caravans, they are cheap and last ages. We have a large unheated shed full of gardening equipment and these measures work a treat at minimising damp. Even on dull Winter days the fans spin fast enough to move some air with, of course, zero running costs. Sitting the bikes on a piece of carpet, as has already been suggested, also helps.👍

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

I have a car coon and it is very good 👍🏼

[@gsrossco]

Surprised about the decline in Harley views, I watch all your content, but I do like the Harley reviews in particular. Perhaps people don't have the cash at the moment for bikes in the top end of the market?

Best to keep a bike in a timber shed with a heater if possible. Next to nothing condensation and applying ACF50

[@kwakithailand]

Great VDO with invaluable insights, Ol'Man 👍 Watching all of your pieces, that's the least I can do, mate 👍

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Condensation is a big problem. Those metal sheds suffer really badly. I've got a raspberry Pi in the shed which displays temperature and humidy. This winter I want to reprogram it to switch on a fan at a certain r/h as airflow really helps dry things out. Right, I'm off to watch every single Harley video you've done 👍

[@ADSCoachSimonB2112]

Motorcycle rides are a vast and even some what fickle lot at times. Its also depends on a lot of variables, if they actually own a bike or are in between bikes and everything in between. I have had a few Harley 883s and I still have an 883 Iron that's 2017 with around 40K, KM. Its what I would say was the best version of that line. (but it will go soon) From that segways to my next bike The Royal Enfield 350 Classic in Sand (Military) with the green & brown old school retro style. Now as people maybe be downsizing, due to the costs of living, and value for money and that fact that not all of us can just ride a bike all day (would be fun if you could) we need a car to well do your job (that thing that we do in order to purchase the bike and stuff in the first place) I like the value of a really good quality small bike, that I don't have to do a 45 hour a week to afford. Does that mean I dislike Harleys, No Still do. At the end of the day I just want to to enjoy the hobby. The reality is this cost money, compiling a you tube channel, running a business, going to Uni and them things called a teenager that are the biggest money reducing agent to the adult population. Some times people like to jump before they stop and maybe realise oh hang on, maybe there are real people on the other end (Not AI) and they have put in and done a good job. (T-Shirts, Stickers & Group Rides also can earn income, I run a Mens Health Group : Ride for Therapy)

[@donaldaltman8474]

Keep making these interesting videos! I love your thoughts and insights about motorcycles of all kinds. As a rider, I appreciate retro bikes of all makes, new and old. Many of the old names have resurfaced and keep making new bikes, so good for them and for the industry. Bikes are cool; hating is not.

[@Posttraumaticgrowth]

I am a fan for a time now but I do like the adventure of motorcycle riding and when it shows on camera lik with the Million Dollar Bogan channel or Freddie Dobbs. I would advise to make more content thats not just a bike for one day video but the deepening stuff. Always a pleasure to see you and your awesome son and you do have a great channel🏍️🏍️safe travels.

[@williamjones6478]

It is worth investing in a Stihl leave blower it’s great for blowing and also drying your bike it dry’s out the places you can’t see or reach but first as been commented on insulate that roof👍👍

[@flexywing]

You can get a bike dryer, that looks very much like a dog dryer

[@duncancleverley6366]

Good video 👍🏻.. in the shed putting the world to rights. I like it. A surprise to see the R18 and Meteor side by side.. in my head the BMW is enormous and the RE tiny.. but seeing them together… I was wrong.

[@martynlaverick3405]

Great vid. In the winter I do the same with my bike but I have also bought a dryer to get into those parts that condensation can sit👍

[@NanceDrew]

Can’t wait to see more on the Speedmaster (within thumbnail).

[@knightlautrec4311]

I actually find my bike cover seems to prevent condensation. If I leave it uncovered and come out in the morning it will have loads of condensation on it, but if I cover it (which I do every day) then it's bone dry. Oxford Stormex (just don't put it on when the pipes are still hot lol).

[@dapperstuff]

I'm so glad that I watched the whole video right to the end. Why? Because I got to discover ACF50 (which I had never heard of before). I wish I had known about it a long time ago, because I would have applied it to my wheel spokes. Now they're starting to rust, it's going to be a long and tedious process of cleaning them up, one at a time, and I'm not sure whether to apply a Rustoleum clear coat or the ACF50. I wonder how well ACF50 adheres to spokes or am I wasting my money for that.

[@Adam-d8p2r]

Keep it up bud i love watching the videos on your channel ive been into bikes for years and it is literally just bikes in general im not fussed weather its a harley suzuki etc etc. I can never quite understand peoples need to comment daft things if its not your cup of tea skip to the next video or dont watch.

[@martynlaverick3405]

Sorry laughed out loud when you could find the electric drill! Spend my life looking for things I have put down when working on the bike.

[@mohawkdriver4155]

I find living in Nevada negates any kind of condensation that could collect on anything in my garage.

[@longjonwhite]

I enjoy your content, regardless of what bike it is. I’ve already watched all the various vids that deal with both of my bikes, so it makes sense to be eclectic in my viewing habits, how else will I see a variety of bikes? I’m never going to get a Harley, or a behemoth BMW but I love to see them.

[@yellownev]

I get the reason for the ad's and respect the effort you both put in. KZbin are the winners as there is so many KZbinrs putting in loads of effort for little reward ( other than for KZbin or rather Google who own KZbin) Not sure of the long term solution other than long term sponsorship which as you said is almost impossible unless you have 100,000 of subs. What I don't like is when KZbinrs endorse and then move on to the next sponsors competitive product. I don't hate Harley's just don't appeal to me so don't watch them I'd never dosrespect your efforts by complaining about something that for me is free. Keep the faith hopefully Spain if/when you get there won't give you the condensation problems!

[@davidmacgregor5193]

Hello 'Ol Man, Thank you for your video, I too have a problem with damp in my garage where I keep my Sportster. I have a leather petrol tank cover and rear mudguard cover installed on it, the damp creates mold to form on the leather which needs cleaning off regularly. I had all my tinwear blasted and powder coated about four years ago due to a rust problem. My garage is an ex-Council owned building which is now sixty years old and it needs a new roof, the current owner is a local housing association, the don't want to replace the leaking corrugated asbestos roof. I'll be moving my Sporty into a mates warm and dry garage over the winter to keep it looking it's best for the next riding season. Best Regards, Dave.

[@leebowler6694]

Like watching all your reviews. If it's got two wheels I'll ride it, love your locations, keep up the good work.

[@Lar308]

I know your going to spain so not very relevant but I would demolish that shed and build a new prefabricated insulated steel cladding one with an A shaped roof. Those sheds have vents under the rain guttering that lets in airflow but not the water. Even so all my bikes get the acf50 treatment after a good clean every three months - don't let that stuff get on your brake discs though - use brake cleaner for them. A good kerosene blow space heater is also a good investment - always use it to dry my bikes after a wash or if they get caught in rain. Use the air hose to blow all the loose water away first of course.

[@sagalout]

Love your videos but have very little interest in Harleys 12:20 .

Don't like Power Ranger bikes either but do love Japanese and Triumph retros. Always enjoy your videos and appreciate that we all love different styles of motorbikes.

[@gordonyoung3668]

I think you get a lot of condensation because you have a metal roof and door, had the same problem when i had a metal shed i used to have to mop it out in cold weather. Don't worry about the Harley haters they've always been there. I like your take on biking, i personally have a 1999 Harley night train, an Enfield 500 Tribute Black and a new Gold Star Legacy version. Keep up the good work.

Another good video Sadly though some people will complain no matter what but they are the minority. I love the look of the fish taill exhaust, a very classic look on a beautiful bike. Keep up the good work.

Well, since the hater unsubscribed, I'll subscribe. Thank you for the videos. Your videos are more than entertaining, they are informative as well.

Great video mate! My Royal Enfield will be outside my apartment building whole winter, under the cover, and I hope with some occasional drives on sunny dry winter days. I expect mild temperatures this winter here in Croatia. My bike is occasionally cleaned, and I use silicone spray for majority of parts to get a coat of protection, as silicone will deflect moisture and water. Regarding, sponsorship integrations, just do it guys, and I love that, as you recommend the product, which is very helpful, from oil and stuff for bikes to bike gear and helmets.

Roadworks are the R18's worst enemy. That aluminum engne cover is soft, and the stones pepper it with indentations. I bought it to ride it so not to worry, it's part of the adventure. Great bike, though. I dont regret buying it nearly 2 years on, and it's still a dream to ride despite the re sale value.

You've got a great channel that people enjoy. Who cares about a few moaners. Also, I hate harley davidsons but love almost any other brand. The more triumphs on the channel the better!
