Another great watch Ian, you need a tinted visor or some sunglasses to stop the glare 🏍🇬🇧👍😉

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

😂 Thank you, I wear both. Gradient tint visor, and reactolite glasses. Cheers

[@dezmondwhitney1208]

Thanks for a nice ride out on your fine handling bike Ian. Great video.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Dezmond, it’s brilliant 🤩

Morning Ian, thanks for another great ride out. Stunning view when you parked up. 👍

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Malcolm, love it there 😎

[@stephenc6503]

Nice to see you're enjoying your new RE.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

I am indeed, will enjoy more after first service 😈😂 Cheers

[@stephenc6503]

Yes, 'so you can give it some'. 😂

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@stephenc6503 oh yes 😂

[@Ainsworth-Rider]

It's always a great video. When riding in the Lakes 😊 was that Peter at the end 👍

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks James, The Lakes in sunshine…..gorgeous. Err, Peter who ?

[@melfzs]

Morning Ian, I was out on my Classic 350 yesterday, had a ride to Thellwall village and had a look at a few of the old swing bridges over the Manchester ship canal, proper built iron bridges,..as for the photos at the end of this video, you park an Enfield up and someone always stops to look or comment , as I pottered through the village an old couple stopped walking turned round and watched me go by smiling,Enfield's just have that thing about them. Cheers Mel 🍻

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Interesting ride then Mel 😎. Yes, it’s the RE attraction. Though I did have one bell end who said, “so what’s this a copy of ? Royal Enfield do that don’t they, rip off other people’s designs and idea’s”……I had to put him right, but he didn’t like it, and he walked off mid conversation 😂

Thanks for the ride out , great roads Ian.Yep i know the feeling. Cant play until run in. Ride safe, Until the next time, 115 miles ride for me today whilst weather is sunny, Bfn Mike , Wales

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Brilliant Mike, great to know you are getting some miles in 😎 Cheers

[@markfletcher443]

Great ride Ian. You are definitely spoilt living up there and I’m definitely going to join you up there in a few weeks on my Interceptor. Your Guerilla should be more run in by then👍

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Hope the weather will be kind 😉 Cheers

[@PAGallagher]

Well done Ian, my weekly fix of Guerrilla video on some great roads and in the sunshine! It's a shame that our road builders can't keep the rivers in the rivers and not on the flippin roads, it's the same down here in Somerset. I'm looking to get out on mine tomorrow, weather's looking good 😁 I'd have been out today but DIY sash window renovation got in the way 👎By the way, Hitchcock's answered my email and they are aware of that quirky fueling when pulling away, they've got a fix for the Himalayan but nothing specific to the Guerrilla yet but it sounds like they will come up with something 👍 Cheers, Phil

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Wow, that sounds interesting Phil, please keep me posted 👍 Cheers

[@PAGallagher]

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Will do Ian ☺

[@momarsden3053]

Hi Ian 👋. Enjoyed the vlog thank you. You're a lucky bloke to have the Lakes on your doorstep. Regards, Mo 😊👍

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Mo, yes we never take our location for granted. With the Lakes,Dales and Trough of Bowland so close, we are never short of somewhere to go.

[@crumblymal8479]

Lovely ride Ian it's always nice around the lakes views that you can always appreciate . I completely get why folks like the looks of the Guerilla it's a really nice looking bike👌. I have never been a fan of bar ends myself purely on the looks but they are probably the best rear view I guess .Much enjoyed even at running in speeds 😉👌👍

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Mal. So pleased you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I am starting to think that bar ends might just be the answer to my dilemma. Cheers

[@flesz_]

That car park where you arrived gets full over the weekends by 10am :D

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

….which is why we never go in four wheels🫣…don’t really like busy places 😂 Cheers

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Morning Ian the last of the 3 bikes you let pass was a Kawasaki Z1000 I recognise the exhaust on it. Has for folding mirrors I’ve always bought the double take raid rallye mirrors £172 reason why like you I had to keep taking the OME ones off due to getting through my entry. Glad the the ninja I have just turn right in no hassle 👍🏍️

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Derek. All nice bikes. I have seen those mirrors, they use ram mounts, just don’t think they would suit the style of Scorpio. Cheers though 👍

[@timparish172]

Morning Ian, I had the RE Touring mirrors on my Classic and, yes, they do fold, but you do need to loosen and retighten the allen bolt each time, they’re not sprung. I ended up swapping them for the RE bar-end mirrors as the Touring mirror stalks were quite short and I saw a lot of my elbows 🙄

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Oh bugger Tim, that’s a bit daft. I didn’t mind undoing the Allen bolt, but no good if they are shorter than original 🙄😢Thank you for helping me not to waste more money 👍

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

Don't mind the running in speed riding Ian, specially with the gorgeous lakeland views. Pity about the sun reflecting off of the TFT screen, rendering the speedo unreadable; might be a road safety argument there. It should be interesting to see if anyone uses it as a defense/mitigating circumstances argument in court. Enjoyed the banter as usual; enjoy Scorpio my friend.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Neil. The speedo looks worse in the video than in “real life”, but the glare is like a mirror. I have a speedo angels anti glare protector, but yet to fit it. Still to get another 100 ish miles on the clock , then no more “I’m still running in” 😂

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Righto. The speedo on video is obscured for most of the time; don’t know if you’ve noticed this in editing. But (I know, bad grammer🤪)if it looks worse on camera then not so bad for riding. Interested to see if the anti glare works though but. 100 more miles eh! That will soon pass; as Kawasaki say”Let the good times roll” eh. Even running in, Scorpio seems bloody quick on overtakes etc. I’m looking forward to your reactions to riding Scorpio once the running in process is completed (smiling as I write this 😛); gonna be fun. Anyway; gotta get back to painting I suppose; hope you and Ann are both well; take care bud.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Neil. Yes, I have noticed the speedo going blank thing, but honestly nothing I can do. It’s all down to a frame refresh rate mismatch, between the TFT dash and the Osmo Action 3. I have now put the TFT dash to auto (white during the day), and using 25fps on the camera. It is better, but still has dark lines appearing occasionally, but at least it’s not flickering like it was on my first Himi 450 video. Cheers

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

@@ianhughesroyalenfield Evening Ian. I thought it was just the sun blacking out the screen. Sorry Ian, had no idea it was technical issue.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@mrgrizzlyrides the trials and tribulations of KZbinr 😂 thanks Neil

[@davew-jk5te]

Hi Ian, large engine bars arrived from India no fees and now fitted OEM flyscreen and rear rack arriving today and tomorrow. Also had to alter the gear lever as mine was too also low. Happy riding

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Dave, I meant to ask, which company in India did you buy from ? Yes, moving the gear lever has made a massive difference. I think the factory fit it thinking we all wear flip flops or Jesus wellies 😂

[@davew-jk5te]

​@@ianhughesroyalenfieldhave you an email address. I can send you some pics of whats been done so far and let you know who ive ordered from pal. Cheers Dave W

“What have you all been up to” Ian asks, hi Ian, mostly fell walking ! Glorious weather out on Scorpio for you, lovely today so maybe out on the bike later for me October 3, I still haven’t bought those heated gloves, must get my finger out and invest.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Adrian, I am hoping to get out on a local run on Clementine today. Yes heated gloves, socks and jacket are a must for me at this time of year 🙄🥶😂 Cheers

[@arsmale1]

Hi Ian, I've just been to the petrol station and filled up the Shotgun 650. Later I shall be out when work finishes 😊

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Jolly good, enjoy the ride 😎

[@weemark67]

Wow …..fantastic veiw once park. Don’t half sound good on open road😊 Made a quick visit to Penrith yesterday. Lovely wee place. Loved to have joined you on these roads .so😊😊😊. Is their many accessories out yet, like fly screen, sump plate??

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Mark. Good to know you are venturing south 😂. There are a few accessories beginning to appear, though most are in India via eBay. Hitchcock’s are also starting to list a few bits and bobs, but they are rather expensive 😳🫣😢

[@ianhalliwell8604]

Think Stadium do a quality folding stainless bar end mirror. Got twin clock's on my GoldStar and can't say I have ever noticed the sun reflecting badly off them, or perhaps I'm just not looking.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Thanks Ian. The only problem with a bar end mirror, is it isn’t as easy to see if my camera is still operating as it should. As for the screen, it is definitely a TFT thing, I don’t have the same issue on Clementine, and didn’t on Honor (Interceptor) either. Cheers

[@paulharvey5053]

Ian can you adjust the tilt on the screen like you can when you set your levers up ?

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Not as far as I can see Paul.

[@TheMagictrx]

Hello Ian, enjoyed your Guerrilla video's.. Got a blue one ordered, is the run in period the miles up to the 300 service or beyond ? I'v opted to have Michelin tyres on mine, partly because the 452 Himi I had stepped out mid corner , which put me off the standard Ceat's .. Have ordered a screen anti glare cover and a rear rack.. Looking forward to riding it- preferably on dry roads.. Cheers - Brian.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Brian. The actual run in to first service is 311 miles. After that we can take it to 6k revs until the next service at 1243 miles. You are going to love your Brava Blue when it arrives, though the weather forecast isn’t looking good for the next few weeks ☔️🥶🫣😉. I have a speedo Angels anti glare thingy here, I just need to get around to fitting it ? Cheers

[@weemark67]

My touring mirrors on the 350 Meteor are great. But they fixed, like the standard ones😊

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

..but can’t you undo the Allen bolt to move them ?

[@weemark67]

@@ianhughesroyalenfieldsuppose so screw in/out. Far better quality than standard, for sure

[@larrywade9041]

Just curious. Did you consider the Himalayan before you purchased the Guerilla?? Thanks Ilinois, USA Cheers!!

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Good morning, I took the Himi 450 out for review twice, and genuinely loved it, but found it was just too tall for me. Even with the lower seat option, it would still have been that bit too tall. A lot of the roads/lanes I ride have adverse cambers, or uneven surfaces, so I didn’t want to find myself in a situation, where I put my foot down, and the surface wasn’t there. Cheers

[@Stefan_trekkie]

Scorpio is getting run in, in a matter of days 😁 .. I am waiting for my red Hunter to arrive 🥰🥰

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Stefan, I have to be a bit careful on the miles now, as I can’t get him serviced for almost 3 weeks. You too will be in pain, having to run in your new Hunter 🫣😂

[@ruahinesrider]

The Trident 660 display is fantastic no matter where the sun is best display I've had on a bike. You could try a Speed Angel's sticker does help with glare as well as protection.

Thanks RR, yes, I have a Speedo Angels anti glare thingy to go on 👍

Those gear shifts come quickly 😒

Yes, not long now until we take the revs to 6k ☺️
