One thing that bothers me now after being round motorcycles for near enough 50 years,is the wave or nod, I still do it to everyone from the smallest 50cc scooter to the biggest bike but I maybe only get 30 to 40% return. We are all on the road dealing with the same dangers,we must stick together 100% of the time. I always carry my tool kit and if anyone is at the side of the road I always slow down to make sure they are ok. Call me old fashioned but I do miss the camaraderie. Great vids Stu keep them coming. Gutted that I missed the opportunity to do the anti tamper survey. That legislation really bothers me.

Its nice when another rider gives you the nod or as you said waves but there have been a few times like approaching a roundabout or doing 70mph on a dual carriageway that I received an over enthusiastic wave from adventure bike riders where I have thought that their waving hand or concentration would have been better served on the handlebars or the road ahead.

I am with you 100% on your number 1 of bike snobbery. I am a biker through and through, I have been a motorcycle courier and a motorcycle instructor, I think I have ridden about 200 thousand miles on bikes, but currently I choose to ride a medium sized scooter, I now hardly ever get a nod from other riders and get chuckles when I pull up at a biker pub and even comments suggesting that I clearly can't handle a "proper" motorcycle. Thanks for your comments.

Have owned a Bullet 350 as well as 500 and now have the Interceptor 650. Just love your attitude towards motorcycling. I believe one should ride for your own satisfaction and not to prove a point to anyone. Keep on with the good work buddy 👍

Absolutely hilarious, yet perfectly true. One of the reasons my dad started motorcycling back in the early 70’s was because he wanted to know there was only one brain on that horse. A bad experience when he was 6 years old circa 1958 when he tried horse riding and the damn thing galloped after another group of horses, leaving him clinging for life with his arms wrapped around the bugger’s neck 😂

Used to own Honda and Aprilia, so I'm not stuck to one brand for the sake of it. Always great to hear people's experiences on other bikes.

I love your rain bit. Glad it's not just me who believes rain is the conscious, thinking and self-aware being of the skies. In fact I remember one particular cloudless summer day on the Harley it came from nowhere and pounced. We arrived home sodden and filthy and yes, the roads leading up to our estate were as dry as a bone. Thus entailed another three hour cleaning session with toothbrushes, 25 polishing rags, three sponges and (of course) a full tube of Autosol. But, it's not just rain which is a living, breathing being. As I get older, all manner of domestic items seem to have taken on life. Knives and forks, jar lids, teabags and definitely toast. All intent on making my latter years a little more frustrating and annoying aided and abetted by gravity :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Stuart, it made me chuckle. For my part tractor drivers where I live, Wales, are generally considerate. They still leave a load of booby traps on the road though! My pet hate is cyclists, not the person going to work, just having fun or visiting the shops, I have done that on a bicycle myself. It is the ones dressed up as Spiderman that are the problem. Riding around in packs and blocking the road and, unlike Welsh tractor drivers, never pulling over to allow other vehicles to pass. These uninsured, no numberplate, untaxed buffoons will then puff and pant up the hill (820 feet above sea level) at the outskirt of my town before tearing down it as fast as they can go, hitting the town 30mph limit at 50mph or more. Sometimes at night with no lights. I love your informative videos, to me as you, "any motorcycle is a great motorcycle." On a bike rally I meet people covered in patches and badges who arrived in their motorhome, I also meet people who arrived, with luggage, on cheap commuter motorbikes. Guess who I respect and talk to more?

In the USA we refer to certain equestrians as HOHO's (Hateful Old Horse Owners). Back in the 90's they waged a relentless campaign against off-road bicyclists on public trails and single-tracks, until it was proven that one horse can damage a trail far worse than 20 bicycles (when the trail is wet they "post-hole" the trail horribly). The animosity between HOHO's and everyone else that uses a road or trail still exists, but at least the courts have put them in their place. I found it interesting that brand snobbery is a "thing" in the UK as well (and you mentioned two brands in particular that I have or currently own). I've had Hardly Ableson's (Harley's) in the past and currently avoid the brand for a myriad of reasons (but mainly because they're yesterday's technology at tomorrow's exorbitant prices, and the poseurs that gravitate towards them on this side of the pond), and I currently ride a Triumph Scrambler 1200XC. I looked real hard at the Royal Enfield line, but felt that the Triumph was better suited for my needs (the fact that I got my Scrambler for two-thirds of the MSRP on account of it being a "press fleet" bike prior to my ownership didn't hurt either). In any event, thanks for putting effort into your channel; it's enjoyable to watch.

Oh well, I have a tractor, own horses, own a Triumph (my 2nd), and have owned a couple of BMWs. I knew what I was getting into before I moved to the Pacific Northwest of the USA so I really can't complain about the rain. I haven't melted yet (snowflake) though. I really do appreciate you shutting off your bike to let the horses by. That surely counts as considerate riding. I think I will sell my KTM and buy a Royal Enfield so I will be less inclined to ignore speed limits. I would have said Harley Davidson but... On a serious note, you didn't mention noisy motorcycles. In my conversations with non-motorcyclists that always comes up as their number one complaint about motorcyclists. And yes, I really have looked at Royal Enfields but the local dealer is a flake.

One of my pet hates are people who have bikes but don’t bother to learn how to do the most basic tasks. A rider asked on a group yesterday if Vaseline is a good replacement for picture or grease as he hadn’t got either. For gawds sake but some grease and lecture it’s only a couple of quid. For me part of the fun of biking is learning how to do basic tasks to keep your bike running safely and well

Now that said I have to say from the prospective of an American whose been privileged to have spent a bit of time in your part of the world, what constitutes a “road” there is highly suspect. Many of the cyclist KZbinrs in the UK I’ve been watching ride on little more than bicycle trails. If I can lay down across the “road” and be longer than the “road” is wide it’s hardly surprising tractors take up the entire track. In any case I look forward to my next trip to the UK and renting a bike to experience those “roads” soon! Thanks for the great content! Cheers

Stuart, fully agree with your comments regarding motorcycle brand snobbery. I have always been a fan of Japanese motorcycles, with a particular liking of Kawasaki bikes in particular. I love my 1977 Z1000 but this does not preclude me from being interested in other 2 wheel vehicles. For example I have just purchased an immaculate 2003 Honda C90, which in my humble opinion is a great little bike upon which Honda built its motorcycle empire. I also enjoy riding my Goldwing, which again can completely divide the biking fraternity as it is viewed by some bikers as a two wheeled car. Finally, when you are Prime Minister please remove the ‘fuel duty’ tax from petrol, as this tax is then subject to another tax, namely VAT. A tax on a tax is taking things too far!

I had a neighbor not too far away that has horses decided to ride down my road and leave a big pile of horse craft the end of my driveway I went and talked to them telling them to bring a shovel they need to clean up the mess.

Hello Sir, I like the way you are filming, your humour, your fine pronunciation that allows me to understand a good part of your words even if my scolar english is 45 years old. Please don't say that you easily guessed that ;) When I ride my humble Honda 125 Varadero here in France, I imagine I'm on an old Royal Enfield cruising at 35 mph (but not backwards, I'm unable unlike you) in your nice country. And your virtual rides make me spare fuel and risks. I subscribe, thank you.

You found the fine balance on hating without being grumpy 😜. The more you hate, the more fun👍. Unfortunately I don’t believe in regimes built on hate, so I won’t vote on you for president - anywhere. But you are definitely my favorite “KZbinr”. If I can vote here, you got my vote🤜🤛

Love all motorcycling. My only gripe is a set of traffic lights near where I live. The sensor in the road doesn't register a motorcycle. OK at busy times a car comes behind you and triggers the lights. But early morning#######

Ok my pet peeve is people who ask a very easily found question on face book groups but just want to post for the sake of posting, for example what type of oil should I put in my bike or what tyre pressure....READ A BLOODY MANUAL. As for farmers tractors don't get MOT's and think that it's acceptable to drive round at twilight without a light on the back of a 40 foot trailer held together with string! Nice rant, you could do 5 every month!

Cracking vid Stuart, and big supporter of your aspirations for World dominance. As you take the steps, please keep us informed on progress, and just a snippet of advice, start with “deputy boss” of your own household, which is where I keep getting stuck 😉. It was bad enough just with kids, but now with grandkids, it’s looking bleak at my end 😂😂😂

Tractor drivers are doing a job, very often trying to beat the weather. It very often costs hundreds of £'s to plant just one acre of potential food. No food and we all starve. I ride biggish bikes (750 and 900) on rural roads ,but I must say I agree with you about people who can't ride horses. I can ride a horse better than many of them and you will be pleased to know I will stop and point out the error of their ways,if the circumstances need it for their own safety.

I keep to speed limits, yes I do accelerate my bike to the speed limit reasonably briskly. What bothers me are mainly vans, BMW, Audi who tail gate me, whilst I'm doing the speed limit. Closely related to the above are the drivers who want to do 35 MPH everywhere. 20 MPH limit, they want to do 35 MPH. ditto for 30 , 40 . I've had a tail gater in a 30 limit. It opens up to 40. I do 40 , they disappear a long way behind. Come in to the next 30 limit, and within a little while they're tail gating again.

Outstanding, as always. And spot in in every comment. After giving way to the horses’ arses, and even silencing your engine, not a single acknowledgement of thanks did you receive - unless it was verbal and couldn’t be heard. Let me know when I should vote for your PM/Presidency.

A recent post stating that an owner's pristine motorcycle (Honda vfr) going down as a direct result of tractor detritus spewed on a carriage way is actually illegal and they could be found liable for causing the complete right off crash may come as welcome news. Government website links were added to read and confirm.

Older video but i have to say something about the rain. Most naked modern bikes have short front fenders due to 'trends' that make is more and more miserable. I know that Enfields have excellent long front fenders. And big plus here for fully faired big windscreen bikes that pushed the rain over you.
