[@MotoDesmo]

Same here, it was a pure binge watch and I laughed all the way through

[@russellbrowning2732]

Same for me

[@Mr.Winston]

10 years.. A decade.. holy shit. I remember when I started watching your videos Chris. I was like 23, newly single and I didn't even own a bike back then. Although I'd always wanted one. I remember binge watching all your videos, you ranting your way to and from old London town was hilarious! So much has changed in my own life since then, good to look back and appreciate it. I did a solo trip in 2018 to Barcelona to watch the F1, stopped in Paris for 3 nights beforehand and did a load of cycling tours, winebar tour, art museum tours, I met loads of people mainly *because* I was on my own, people in the groups were asking me where I was going next etc. and how cool it was to travel on your own, totally your own schedule. It taught me not to be scared of trying it and that I *can* depend on myself and that I am a half decent mechanic when needed. So I now understand why you did your solo trip, I got a lot out of mine. I met other bikers at fuel stations, cafes, anywhere and everywhere having proper hour long conversations sometimes! Good memories and I will do it again but I have more friends now who always want to come on trips with me and they don't get why I'd go alone.. I always just tell them to try it and then they'll get it. Love your videos Chris and the walking in the morning. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. Please keep doing it.

Chris, having experience of still having my 1st "proper" bike that I did "everything" on (I bought it in 1999 new and still have it, it's been "most places", it's now my 2nd bike and semi-retired), I'd say leave it standard (fix the rear shock/clutch switch etc. obvs), so it retains the character that you bought it back for! :)

100% same deal with my 89 CBR600, Matt!

However, I've fallen in love with more sporty motorcycles and am considering replacing the Triumph with something else. Is it worth buying a GSXR1000 at the moment or is it better to put some money into something newer like the BMW S1000R? Won't the lack of ABS and other systems be an archaism nowadays?

Makes me realize how good of a deal I got on my K1 8yrs ago, paid $2100 US and a low end AR-15 which i had $600 into. I think shes worth $5k now. So easy to maintain and just keeps on running every spring. Had to replace fork seals 5yrs ago and needed new antifreeze overflow bottle as the original just kind of crumbled for sun exposure. Already came with a Power Commander III, K&N filter and i added a tooth to the rear as I dot think I'll need to hit 180 and I think she'll still do 170+. I did put on a 12 O'clock Labs Speedo corrector as I like to know my speed, plus it fucks up your true millage. Installed a set of Bridgestone S22 and went with 185 rear, it has added some tweak ability and i dont have chicken strips anymore. Its the Black/Silver and yellow scheme so its stands out and doesnt look like its 3 decades out design. Oh, i did have to cover the seats, the originals were splitting, i did what BVG would hate, got the ones with GSX-R 1000 in yellow panels on black, she needed more yellow accents.

At the time, i was on a suzuki sv650s and on an A2 license. My girlfriend at the time lived in Alton, so I saw some familiar roads etc... I'll never forget urination diaries and 'I need a piss, i always need a bloody piss'... some of the funniest stories are when you used to ride into london and have a winge! 😂 Not to mention the tight filtering. I wonder if you still got it?! Even to this day, I quote,' I need a piss', and have a chuckle at the thought of you slashing all over someone's floorboards and sofa.. I always need a piss when riding, so its stuck with me ever since. Some more funny stories would be amazing. Maybe visit Trafalgar Square and see if your sticker is still there? And never forget - vlog him to an inch of his life 😂 Without you realising, these videos have shaped the way i grew up riding and discovered a passion for being on 2 wheels. So cheers to that and look forward to your London trip. Btw, i think you should keep the bike how it is. Replace for original only and let the legend live on! Good luck ☘️

Have you considered an insta360 rather than giving GoPro money for their shit products?

I ride a K1200S and a K1300s and have been told bmw bought a gixxer as the basis of their design. They do everything like you say the gixxer does.
