I said NO to lots of FREE KIT - (WHY I RIDE)

[@GerryPowell-r6s]

Why anyone on a bike would want to listen to music defies my 55 years of riding puzzles me,the sound of the engine is enough for me to be in tune with the road and journey.

[@paulcummings1566]

Totally agree.

[@oxfomoto]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I've got to sit on the motorway for a stretch then listening to music a podcast or an audiobook takes away the boredom of not having any corners.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Haha, yes motorways are quite boring. Used them a lot on my way back from Turkey, just to cover ground quickly. Tedious biking...

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Nothing like that sound.

[@ddavexn]

I've been considering a CarPlay device, but listening to you reminded me that when I ride and its just the bike and me. Once my thoughts settle, the ride becomes a moving meditation. I love the feeling of being at one with the bike, the wind, the sound of the engine, the surroundings. There's only the ride.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

That's what it's all about, for me at least. I love that feeling - just wish it was sunny all the time...

[@iankirton368]

Totally agree, a ride 🏍️ out is also just about the bike and my thoughts, on my own or with friends, love the quiet time. Got to say you inspire me to think about the idea of sharing on KZbin my adventures, great work👍keep it up buddy

[@paulmorris3022]

Hi Matt. The setup looks good and sounds good too. Yeah good on ya. There are so many Moto vloggers doing the rounds on the same product(s)and it is good to be yourself. i agree i wear ear plugs and i do listen to the radio now and then, but most of the time it's me talking to myself lol enjoying the ride and seeing what's about. My phone is connected to my bike and i have a cardo and a tom tom satnav and that's it. I am hoping the weather is going to be kind on Tuesday as i have to go to Cheltenham for a tyre recall on my Triumph tiger. i will be trying out my new keis heated gear that i have had for 12 months and not used yet. lol Keep doing what you're doing

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Fingers crossed. Forecast is saying 20% chance here in Bristol, you might be lucky. Time to give that heated gear a test ride.

[@TheTigerman62]

I agree with you Matt. One of the pleasures of riding , in my opinion, is to disconnect from the outside world and connect with your inner self. Time to reflect on things. I remember Back in the days when we only had photocopies of maps to navigate and once we got lost somewhere in the mountains between Naples and Rome because that part of the map got lost. That became the best part of our trip as we discovered places we never knew exist. Btw, nice little setup of the Thundercave.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Thanks mate. Disconnecting is the thing for me. Just thinking about it brings me joy. Getting lost between Naples and Rome sounds pretty awesome!

[@TheTigerman62]

@ still having fond memories of a small village in one of the mountains we discovered and how warmly they welcomed us into their homes. Only riding a motorcycle can bring you such experiences.

[@jonathantrice7614]

My favourite navigation device is the sun. For music, I tend to sing in my full face helmet and so long as I shut up in built up areas, no one suffers.😂 Human interaction is important to me, so camping is out, as it can isolate you from the locals. Give me a small family hotel everytime.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

I did use some nice littel hotels on the way back last year. It helped me stay really refreshed when I was coming through some of the bad weather. Good sleep and a good breakfast did wonders.

[@gairtalboys6014]

I completely get what your saying. Im lucky enough that my phone and my headset connects through my bike. Not android auto or apple car play, but i haven't discovered how the music plays, but i enjoy the sound of the road, engine etc and just the solitary feeling

[@AndyPhillips66]

Really enjoy the channel and I agree with so much of what you said. No music for me and I turn off phone notifications when I ride as I want to focus on the bike and try not to do sat nav either but I have taken to the calimoto nav app for when I’m riding more locally. I thought I knew all the roads around Salisbury and sometimes struggled to think of something new for 1 to 2 hour return rides out from home but my goodness the Calimoto app has given some of the best rides I’ve had on roads I didn’t know were there, even with the rubbish weather we’ve had this year. Cost £50 a year but worth it

[@thebristolthunderbird]

That's interesting, hadn't thought of using apps to take you to unusual routes. Really easy to follow routes you've done 1000 times before. Good tip, cheers!

[@hugohmx]

I totally agree, although I like having my GPS on the handle bar, my orientation is so bad and that gives me the tranquility of not getting lost. I thought that I would enjoy headsets installed on my helmet, but the music needs to be so loud and I can barely hear anything. So I prefer to ride in silence.

[@ianstewart576]

[@kev403]

@@hugohmx I’d rather be listening to my Guzzi singing along.

The GPS is a great thing isn't it? I think I would have gotten so lost without it. May be that would have been a good thing...

Lovely sounding thing

[@georgefirth09]

Must admit I love listening to music when I ride and tour it helps to relax me on longer journey's, I also have carpuride as a sat nav to take all the stress away from getting lost. Question which recorder do you use ? go pro which one ?

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Just about all my 'on helmet' recording is done with a DJI Action 4. I also have GoPro 10 which sometimes sits on the handlebars. The DJI mic2 is used for the live audio, that little mic sits just inside my helmet by my chin.

[@markfortin8286]

One of the biggest appeals of riding is to disconnect, so the less distractions and tech, the better. I still would love to try a Gold Wing, though. Those things are crazy!

[@thebristolthunderbird]

So true. I really want to ride a 1975 Goldwing, GL1000. I'd like to own one actually. Amazing bike.

[@SteveTheBikingGrandad]

Tech is useful on a bike at times. I bought a Beeline Moto for navigation, but really struggled with it when on a four day trip to France earlier in the year (there's a video on my channel showing the nightmare we had on one particular day). I bought it because I didn't want a massive screen on my Interceptor, but for me, it's just not quite enough - so I'm ditching that and will get a Quadlock for the phone. I'm only planning on using the phone for navigation though, although I do have a headset in my helmet I don't listen to music when riding. I've tried a few times and it takes something away from the experience of riding for me. So when I don't need to see a map, the phone will be in my pocket so I don't get distracted by flashing notifications etc.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

The phone for navigation is enough. I'd probably still be lost in Europe somewhere if it wasn't for my phone. More tech than that is not my thing though.

[@stewy62]

Although I used to enjoy very loud music in the car, as I was a Biker first even then I was uncomfortable at not being able to hear my engine or if other things were falling off the vehicle ! My current car doesn’t have a CD player so dilemma solved, I’ve given up listening to music in the car ! There is music in my helmet when I want it as I sing to myself, but I have no intention of fitting speakers in my helmet for either music or conversations, although I can see the advantages of the latter especially to stop getting lost or separated from your riding mates. Mostly I ride on my own anyway. I keep my smartphone in my pocket although a couple of times I have put my earphones in and listened to the satnav on the phone. I’m more of a maps person but I’ve found that quite useful to be fair 🇬🇧

[@thebristolthunderbird]

They are helpful sometimes, especially when it's important you don't get lost, or finding a campsite/hotel when it's dark!

[@duncangallup9012]

Respect to you sir,personally I wouldn’t care for any distractions to interfere with the ride.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Thanks mate. I'm the same, enjoy the ride- that's why we've got bikes in the first place.

[@johnj2766]

Like the way you look at the tech I ride on my cl500 it's my time away from the world .Didn't have all this in the 80s when you rode for the experience not like a video game like it is now.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

A bit of solitude is good for the soul.

[@Sean22ei]

I’m have a similar experience to you started on my Suzuki ap50 and have never been without a bike since . I bought a Yamaha rd 250 past my motorcycle test and had many bikes since some I still own including the rd250. But I’m lucky as my wife also rides a triumph street twin and both love bikes and music but not at the same time.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

That's awesome mate. Love that you still own the RD. Those were such epic bikes back in the day, still are.

[@AndrewandAlisonBell]

Absolutely agree with your comments bikes are way too complicated nowadays. When these things break down especially the tech . Without a solid warranty you’re screwed. I have three Royal Enfields no tech and service them myself. Don’t need a 20k bike to be happy keep it simple.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Completely agree. I'm a carb guy,.just because I know I can fix it myself (with the help of a Haynes manual...)

[@AndrewandAlisonBell]

@ Thanks for the reply. I’m afraid I come from an era where you had no choice but to fix either your car or bike yourself. Couldn’t dream of affording a garage mechanic. Haynes manuals were the book of choice. I wish young people would stop this obsession with throwaway stuff. Fix things that will reduce your carbon footprint!!

[@Banditmanuk]

So many channels get a little success and then start making vids about the free stuff they get offered. It's a massive turn off for us. As for all the sat nav/android auto vids!!! A long while ago my wife I decided to turn everything down that got offered including some very tempting stuff. We just feel better about doing it that way and it leaves us free to make what we want to make

[@thebristolthunderbird]

I think that's the way to do it. Great channel by the way, working my way through your content - thanks!

@@thebristolthunderbird Thanks, we just do the channel for fun. Best of luck with yours

[@TheDervMan]

I always wear earphones to protect my hearing. If I'm riding with a friend we have the intercoms running and chat about most of the time. When I'm solo I'll always have music playing in the background. I have a Caruride Apple Play display which I tend to use if I'm following a route I've not done before as the map is bigger and like the fact 'Scenic' (the nav app I use) tells me about speed limits. I bought a 1250GS largely based on the tech/display but it simply doesn't work. The only soution that works for me is CarPlay/Android Auto so now I look for bikes with the most basic dash. Although cruise control is a must for me, once you've had it you can't do without it. 😎

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Sounds like you've found the set up that works for you. Shame the GS stock kit doesn't work so well. Surprising, BMW are usually pretty good with all that stuff.

[@TheDervMan]

@ I tried very hard to get the BMW TFT working with my kit but I expected too much of it. I work in tech too so am usually pretty good with this stuff. Oh well you win some and you lose some. The GS has gone now but have my eye on a Guzzi V85TT 😎

[@bikegeist]

I think we can probably narrow it down to 3 Car Play/Android Auto products we've seen on lots of other channels. 😂 I sometimes like to listen to music when I'm riding. When I had just passed my test, I was totally music-free. Depends how I feel.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

I must admit the product looked pretty good, just not for me. Too many screens in my life already!

[@pete36524]

I’m glad you decided not review the CarPlay device. Every other bike tuber has done reviews of these devices with discount offers included. I did try listening to audio books too on a tour last year but found it too distracting. And although reviews are popular I do prefer content that’s more about travel and experiences. Love what you’ve done with you shed very professional!

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Thanks mate. The Thundercave is my little get away. Could easily spend too much time out there!

[@ianfutcher1518]

Listening to music is too distracting on a bike. However I have given in to some technology - I use the Beeline Moto to navigate. It’s minimalist on the bike and less distracting than looking down at paper directions. Good on you for not selling your soul and reviewing products to order. Genuine reviews in the course of your motorcycle journey is another matter.

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Thanks mate. Totally agree, it's such a complete sensory experience, nothing beats it.

[@Old_Geezer]

Disclaimer - I am plagiarizing one of my own comments that I left on a video on another channel but it fits perfectly here too:- Agree 100% Any distraction from riding is a negative and there is more than enough to occupy your attention without all the "technology" that some people can't seem to bear to be parted from for even a minute. I'm older now sure, but I just don't get it. Aren't the major draws of motorcycling freedom, adventure, discovery, escapism, being at one with your bike, the open road.....? That's what it always used to be. The perfect time to unplug from what is now referred to as the "grid", what we used to just think of as the noise of life, and exercise your mind and senses and experience some genuine, if temporary, freedom. Nowadays so many of these people riding bikes are obsessed with gadgets and technology - phones, GPS, bluetooth intercoms, action cams mounted on every inch of themselves and their bikes, "motovlogging", constant visual and aural distractions, staring at screens just like they do every other place they find themselves in? I'm not claiming that some of these things don't have any benefits but what happened to getting on your bike for an impulsive ride, just for the sake of riding - no planned destination even, just the thrill of the journey? I've lost count of the times that when I had a day off, I'd climb aboard and head off just to see where I'd end up and that alone has taken me from the top of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall and pretty much everywhere in between. Countless pubs, countless cafes, countless roads past lakes, mountains, cliffs, beaches, through untold cities, towns and villages, past forests, fields and castles, and probably millions of bends, in all weathers, mostly alone, sometimes with friends and/or a pillion. I've forgotten more places in the UK and Ireland alone that many people have ever or will ever see, hunting for the "perfect road" and still hoping that maybe one day I'll find it despite coming so very close so many times. I've had some extensive road trips in both Europe and the USA too, back in my younger days, from San Francisco and the western Pacific Coast to South Dakota in the east and all states in between, and from Texas in the south to Montana in the North. When I lived in the south east of England, a long day's ride could easily find me in the Brecon Beacons or the Yorkshire Dales, maybe the Quantock Hills in Somerset or Exmoor, the expanses of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire or countless places on the coasts of Kent or Dorset, or Norfolk and Lincolnshire. If I had a full weekend, places like Dartmoor, the far south west of Cornwall or the Scottish Borders, were realistically achievable destinations as were the Pennines, the Lake District, the Dales, Northumberland National Park . Collapsing into bed at the end of such a day or couple of days has also given me some of the best nights of sleep, not to mention dreams that I'm sure I could ever have. Do it while you're young and keep doing it until your old - you never know when you're riding days might be over for good. Making memories is never time wasted and the road has so much to teach you about yourself. Your bike and the environment provide the sweetest music of all to my motorcycling ears. When I see people with their "smartphones" attached to their bars and a Satnav app I always wonder - is it really so vital aside from maybe the odd occasion when you need to find a very specific address? In the UK, we have some of the most comprehensive road signage in the world - you as a taxpayer and road user paid for it so use it. What happened to following your nose to all manner of wonderful and unexpected places and experiences - that special stretch of tarmac, that amazing view opening up before you, that wonderful cafe stop or perhaps a food van at the side of the road, listening to the wildlife and the steady tick of your cooling engine, cleaning the flies off of your visor and feeling more alive and at peace than at any other times? What happened to just opening the throttle and letting the journey take you where it will? Call me old fashioned but reading some people's comments it makes me wonder how on earth I've covered hundreds of thousands of miles over the course of more than four decades with none of these things to "help" me. Once upon a time, no matter the journey's length, you did it with none of these perceived technology "safety nets" that apparently are so vital. As long as you had some money in your wallet, a tank of fuel, your riding gear (including wet weather provisions), a pre-ride check of the basic fluid levels, lights, tyre pressures etc and, space permitting perhaps a road atlas and you were set. Phones didn't exist, GPS neither and "on bike entertainment" (aside from perhaps the Goldwing Owners Club Riders wobbling along on their two wheeled SUV's) was restricted to your own physical and mental sensations and stimulation. I prefer life that way and don't my motorcycling watered down or cluttered with extraneous junk. You can have all that in a car. So, if you're a younger rider, try a different approach for yourself. Just stick a pin in a map, if you own one, or just set off and let the mood take you wherever it takes you - it's nothing to be afraid of and the time is fast approaching that you're not going to be "allowed" such freedom anymore. Getting "lost" is all part of the joy of the open road and is frequently when you make the most amazing discoveries, and you might not even have to travel that far to make them. The beauty of our small island is that you're never too far away from anything, wherever you live. Go out and experience it first hand, I absolutely guarantee that it's 1000% better than anything you'll ever get from a screen, not to mention all the people you'll meet along the way. Whether you are a city dweller or a rural one, this country is packed with outstanding natural beauty - go and put yourself in the middle of some of it, it's your world to live in - for just a short while. I can give you all the reasons to go, so, the only remaining question you have to ask yourself is this: when you look back over your time, it's your choice, do you want a head full of memories or hatful of excuses?

[@thebristolthunderbird]

Those adventures sound epic, the American ones must have been quite something. Recently read a book about some of the american routes, it all just sounds life changing.

[@Old_Geezer]

@@thebristolthunderbird Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated. Yes, I've probably worn out more than my fair share of tyres 😄As far as the stateside road trips, I was very fortunate to have been able to do them when it was still affordable and when I had a well paying job - "gas" was less than a dollar a gallon and the exchange rates gave us more than $2 to the £. I guess it's very different now and as for the cost of hiring a bike - I reckon you're looking at over $200 a day by now. Hardly within easy reach of the average Joe. But, yes, if you ever get the chance, it can be incredible. But even if you never leave the UK, there are still thousands of miles of incredible just waiting out there.

I tend to have a list of towns and find my own way, but then switch on when i get close to urban areas to get me through silky smooth.
