i'm your social media follower and I like your work, usually the content I watch while drinking beer is always your videos and your shares and your content, I've watched every video 100 thousand times, but I have an important problem, I want to do a tour like you, but the map you use to show your tours looks like a very nice program, I'd appreciate it if you'd send me the map program I would be very happy if you could help me in the comments.

Unc’ I absolutely love ❤ the cheesy theme tune 😂 as for the RE 350, i know they aren’t super fast but I still think they are a great bike for the price
@@UncleLongbeard thanks to you! thanks to you I got sick of a W800. I ordered a new one and I am very happy with my choice. I saw all bikes before the purchase (plus your clips): boneville, royal enfield, honda, yamaha and bmw and of all these the W800 won in the classic, built build and feeling .
It's has its purpose, and to some, thats all they need. Unless I am older and do not want a heavy bike, it looks perfect. But I own a couple bikes and enjoy what each one is made for. Thanks for brining us along.
@@UncleLongbeard That's fascinating actually. I always thought by the time I was born, all narrow tracks remaining were only for entertainment purposes. We still have some tracks around here, like few hundred meters, or so, with small old steam trains.
enjoy this one off video. you get rain, like we do in South East Virginia, US. states 100 percent rain now, and then 20 min later it states 2 percent, so i leave and 10 min later i get soaked... good friends!
@@UncleLongbeard last time i got caught in a rain storm it was in a valley, an hour later i was in the mountains were it was 50 degrees and being soaked sucked. but it makes a story! i enjoyed yours.
@@BlakesPipes exactly, we don't memorize it usually when everything goes as planned. Very often we just remember the worst of it, which is brilliant ;)
Cześć Wujku. Właśnie kupiłem (głównie po obejrzeniu twojego kanału) nowe W800 z 2023 w kolorze ocean blue. Mam do Ciebie pytanie jako, że masz ten sprzęt już dość długo. Jak często musisz polerować te połacie chromu i czy można to czymś dodatkowo zabezpieczyć, żeby nie musieć robić tego zbyt często? Mam szansę to zrobić bo za kilka dni odbieram nowy motocykl. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy.
To jest oryginalnie zabezpieczone i jest duża szansa że w polskim klimacie wogole nie będzie z tym problemu, a nawet jak będzie to nie wcześniej niż za 10 lat... W UK jest dużo bardziej wilgotno, stąd problemy
I've been considering buying this bike but I'd like a seat like the stock one of the Honda CB900C. I'm a fan of true classic bikes. I despise the cafe racer style, especially where the seat is concerned. Ugly has never been my thing. Because of this seat, I'm still considering a 1980's original bike.
This isn't actually a fair test of the vibration dampening. If the phone is doing it's job really well, it will compensate for the vibrations to stabilize the video, making it look like the mount dampeners are doing their job. I'd like to see a test that just measures the vibration going into the mount and the vibrations at the phone mount end. I don't know how that's done and this video does shed some light on the subject. Personally, I mounted a dampening mount and a hard mount and just touched both while riding. I couldn't detect any difference in how they felt and therefore concluded that dampening mounts are a marketing gimmick. I suspect that somewhere around 80% dampening is required to be effective, not some indiscernible amount, but I'd like to have some actual hard data to back that up.
The phone has not doing any stabilization as the phone I used for the test has no stabilisation whatsoever. Therefore it is showing how many of those vibrations are getting to the phone. So in fact those dampeners are helping in a VERY limited way.
Thank you very much, I asked because I am thinking of buying a second-hand 2014 model with drum brakes. It is a good idea? Will it work well in 2024? My main question was the drum brakes...thanks.
Hello, wonderful... I remember not having bought that motorbike, because it had a drum brake on the rear, at some point during your trip, did you notice this feature? Was it a disadvantage?... thank you
Test brake is no different than on my other bikes. The only problem with the drum brake is that it'll never have abs. But it'll never fail and you don't need to replace breaking fluid
I pack the poles to my tent and the fabric separately. I pack the fabric inside a small compression bag. It's surprising how much space you gain this way.
Take it easy. Bubs. I never liked people. That judged me what I ride. After all if the she fits ware it. Lemay. Nelson. Vancouver Washington. Pacific Northwest. USA.
