Hi, personally I wouldn't have responded to those who thought it was staged. Responding gives them credibility. You know about the situation, that is all that matters. I certainly wouldn't have bothered breaking down the remind viewing stats or £’s it generated. We don't own shares in yourself so you don't need to justify anything to your viewers. They will come and stay or go.

[@timsherlock3564]

Yes they are great and protect your torso and neck, shoulder areas in case the unfortunate happens. I don’t ride without one now. Had it about 2 years now. I made a video a while back on how it works here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSzoZ1vnbqqeJosi=CPTBn44_llHA-lTG Cheers and have a good new year 🥳🍻

[@Banditmanuk]

Good to see the bike wasn't too expensive to repair. Think I said on the original crash video that I didn't think the ad revenue was going to cover it. The beauty of KZbin vids is they can keep earning, so if the views suddenly take off, you never know...... Good luck with the channel in 2024

Good man! Thanks for the continued videos and keep up the integrity and honest production, it is greatly appreciated. For the Tiger, also a good job. I've dropped my Tiger 12 a few times, off road and on, and the scars are small and unnoticeable in general. I did swap out my mirrors for a pair of ball jointed units that fold up on collision, but my tiger doesn't have the blindspot radar so no electrics wired in to worry about. Solid bike and solid video!! Keep up the great work Nick and here's to a happy and prosperous new year 👍👍

Thanks for the video! New subscriber. I also wear the Klim airbag Rally vest and its good to know that it worked and help you come out of that fall unscathed. I couldn't make out your jacket. Did it also help you in the crash? Do you still use the Merlin Adele you tested a while back?

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi 👋 and thanks for the sub 👍 yes I still use the Merlin Edale but only on the Bonneville now. On the Tiger I use a Alpinstars Ketchum Forrest Jacket and it doesn’t have a mark on it after the crash. I guess I just slid so the ice stopped it getting any road rash 👍

[@hartley383]

Glad you got the bike sorted and at least , like the vest, the revenue softened the impact of the slip.

I haven't seen the original footage, hope you're all good, while 300 quid seems a lot for a drop/crash, it seems mostly cosmetic, and when you have a nice bike you like to keep it pristine I guess.... and the cash from you tube wasn't too shabby, although I'm sure you would have preferred to stay upright 😂.

[@stuartmetcalfe547]

Morning, not wishing to be controversial and not diminishing my sympathy for your incident (I wouldn't describe it as an accident as I interpret the definition) and how pleased I am that you were neither injured nor caused material damage to the bike...I did contemplate this comment on the video itself and so will post it here now instead. I've long wondered about the capability of the brain to multi-task. Police Class 1 drivers are trained to be able to provide a driving commentary simultaneously with controlling the vehicle. There's hours or training that go into it I understand. Personally, I think that riding a motorcycle deserves 100% concentration and I wouldn't use a telephone or record a voice over to a video whilst riding. You have many years experience and many incident free, so I have wondered whether or not, if you'd been concentrating on the ride and not the video you would have assessed the risk differently and taken a different course. Riding at around 20mph onto that road surface might not have been something you'd have done if 100% focused and concentrating. Each to their own. Free world, but when I ride, I prefer to concentrate on the ride. I'm glad you're OK, I'm glad the bike has been repaired and I'm glad you made some of the money back. Ride safe in 2024. Stuart

O.o prescription for vest updates...not exactly correct, you took a leasing deal on the vest. You can buy the vest straight from the getgo for twice the amount you mentioned or you can get a leasing with 3 years of monthly payments and a buy option in the end.

[@MOTOUK1]

Yes correct you can buy from the get go however you will receive no updates and if something goes wrong with the brain then you have to pay a lot for a new one. The subscription not a leasing deal is what I say it is a £12 a month you can cancel any time not a 3 year lease, and no buy option end of 3 years Read hear shop.inemotion.com/en/airbag-moto/pricing/?univers=moto&country=gb

Really strange it snapped the indicator off my mate has model before yours and dropped it turning round and that snapped the indicator off to but they look to far back to get damaged. At least you weren't injured bikes repair. Ps be interesting if you could get your hands on new tiger 900 gt looks like it has some good updates but all the journalists so far are testing gt pro instead of gt which is a bit expensive at 14 grand. As gt is just 12 grand.

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi Terry, yes was surprised it snapped off but one screw to replace it so was an easy fix. On the Tiger 900 GT I have so many triumph bikes I want to get hold of and only had the Rocket in 2023 as in 2022 I have 16 press bikes. I guess Triumph have many on their books now to loan out to so may have to head to the dealer to test one. But it’s on my list for the new Tiger 900’s this year for sure. Have a fab new year 🥳👍

Can't believe anyone would think it deliberate! Could easily have been much more expensive if bike, helmet, etc had landed a little differently, plus you might easily have broken or dislocated something yourself on another day. While I think you could have approached a little slower, thus avoiding the later braking that unsettled the bike... but who knows, you might still have gone down. Glad you and your wallet came out of this reasonably unscathed!

Don't be too embarrassed by your 'stupid mistake'. In my younger days I used to make the same stupid mistake about three times every winter, on average. And ice is nice and smooth to slide along on your arse, until you hit something. KZbin, Go Pros, ABS? The bikes didn't even have indicators. The nearest I got to wearing an airbag was copies of the Daily Mirror stuffed down the front of my donkey jacket. Have a happy and safe 2024.

300 quid for a bit of plastic panel & footrest & indicator that was probably sourced cheap by Triumph from China ,is well over priced. I would of touched up any scraped paint & bought a pair of pattern indicators & a footrest for about 50 quid tops . As for airbags I don’t even like the restrictive armour in modern motorcycle clothing , & realise that if you come off a bike it’s going to hurt & a risk all motorcyclists must be prepared to take , if not they should stick to granny cages , that are fitted with airbag contraptions . I am glad you weren’t hurt too bad , but ice & tall top heavy Triumph two wheeled tractors don’t mix & a sure recipe for disaster. Still at least your not one of those fair weather bikers , believe it or not ,there are some so called bikers out there ,who think there is such a thing as a motorcycling season ,& believe they will dissolve in rain & frightened of getting a scratch or dirt on their bikes . 👍

@@MOTOUK1 You have a great New Year - not sure if you have seen any of my stuff but although I have a T100, I have two smaller bikes and they work well on KZbin particularly as I am a fat man LOL! Thinking about a trip to the Alps on my XSR125!
