Hi Bruce, glad Danny was ok, didn't see him laying in a gutter anywhere. Got halfway before realising I had left my glasses on a petrol pump at the garage, ended up managing to get in 200miles before breakfast, not up to the standard of the rest of the madmen that came with but still a good ride. Makes you realise that motorcycling is one of the best kept secrets.

Love the video mate! I know how you feel (or worse). Did 350 miles on a 125 CC from London to Amsterdam in -2 Celcius. No Windshield nor big fuel tank to cover the knees. What a ride...

Awesome video Bruce! You are the only bloke I know that will set out at 4am in February in the UK in 3'C in a dark visor! Intrigued by your thinking on this trip.... " I need to run the bike in, what shall I do?" I know I'll run down to Lands End and back, 720 miles or so, that will do it, and I'll take a few mates along..... No matter that I haven't been on a bike in months for more than a bimble, and my shoulder is still giving me gip.... I guess if you have been Around the World...... 720 miles seems like a bimble.... hats off to those Maidstone lads! Think I would look at an alternative make of seat, if it's going to split like that if you 'catch it' with a slider. Glad to see your subs are climbing at a rapid rate of knots! Incidentally, if you're using SW Motech stuff you may want to reach out to them as the are already sending 'free stuff' to a couple of guys based in Germany, maybe you could be their UK Rep? RSM8

Hi Paul, Ha Ha, I wouldn’t try to analyse my head mate, the Mrs has been trying to do that for years!!!! 🤣 I have to be fair about the seat, I have titanium toe sliders on my Daytona boots. They make great sparks when you scrape the toes, but unfortunately mine are worn away and now look like razor blades in places, hence why they sliced through the seat like butter - totally my fault. Cheers for the heads up on SW-Motech, will see if anything comes of it 👍

Well lets say that was a blessed Run IN with so mush holy rain water heheheh My friend I just sold my chopper ( Shwarley ) and pick up a Yamaha 1200Z Super Tenere.. Must say that you are one of the responsible for this, the inspiration and spirit that you share just gave me the final push to invest in an adventure machine!! Now is time to start exploring the world.. lets say a few roads in Europe for now heheheheh, the budget is short ;) Picos del Europa is one of them and I hope to be able to do it with you For now need to get used to the bike and this high riding position.. See you soon brother \m/

Nice one Hellish, hope you like your new bike. I’ve never ridden the Tenere before, but it’s supposed to be a good bike, be interested to see what you make of it. The Pico’s are just awesome to ride brother, you’re more than welcome to join us 👍

@teapotone 6 жыл бұрын
Worth every penny Vince, I had it done on my last Gs. Although BMW say it’s 125bhp, it’s more like 85-90bhp at the rear wheel. With the full Akrapovic system mine was 96bhp initially, but HillTop got it to 116bhp, and 104 torque!!! They really smoothed out the fuelling too, it was a totally different bike to ride, an absolute weapon!

Are the Pinlock Knobs on the visor movable, they should be excentric, so you should be able to adjust the inner Pinlock part till it is sealed perfectly. Worked good on my Shoei helmet.
