General geek VLOG about Motorcycling and the life that comes with it.. Well after 20 years away from my first NSR125 I took my DAS. So I'm trying to apply a simple approach to motorcycle issues and topics in a typical Yorkshire way. I'm also a bit of a geek with a big love for star wars and Marvel etc(so look out for the odd cameo). I attend and work at comic cons. Please subscribe and click the bell icon
Nice video. The rest has been ruined by the constant roadworks trying to solve the landslide issues. Eventually I think it will be covered and never be the same again. Ride safe.
That was crafty one min your on the back road to Crickhowell alongside the Usk ! Next second you are along side the river wye ( looked identical )turning off to Crickadawn but it’s 30 mins away had me fooled as I lived near crickhowell know the road well and didn’t know the Crickadawn church, Ash ,,
Great Video. With the Motul 10w oil you will find that the re-bound will have to be backed off from what it was set at, just while the fork oil is new. Then, as it slowly degrades it behaves like a 7.5w and lower.
I hope that it is enough to disconnect the electrical part and those two hoses to get to the air filter. What do you think? The air filter box has just two bolts.
5:20 Why not just use a piece of foam or a rolled up sock etc. under the bungee? Much faster, easier, no fannying around with removing after...and it's free!
Bro can you please help? After i removed the tank and restored it, when i try to put it back in, there are 2 hoses from the carbs that i dont know what to do with them. 1 is coming from the second carb and 1 from the fourth carb, are they for vacuum or overflow? Or should i connect them somewhere?
They should go to the air box I think. the 2 pipes fro the tank are breather hoses and wont be going to carbs. I never had my air box off just the tank and the 2 pipes just run to the bottom of the bike
The other thing you can do when you spot a car waiting is get your weave on and attract attention to yourself. A bike approaching a junction perfectly straight presents a small silhouette. The eye is drawn to something weaving. I've seen drivers about to pull out visibly do a double-take because of the weave. I've also seen older drivers look straight through me so trust no-one !
JGB, It never hurts to repeat safety tips. Although I'm in my mid 70s, I still go out for pleasure rides on my R.E. Meteor 350 in the country lanes of Hampshire (UK). I have an analogy to repeating safety tips and it relates to exercising with weights in the gym.... a friendly instructor spots you doing an exercise with sloppy technique and whispers some advice about posture (etc) in your ear. You already knew what he told you but, being on 'auto-pilot' you had slipped into bad ways. Being advised about technique in the gym can prevent you getting a strained muscle. Safety reminders for riding on two wheels can help minimse the risk of serious injury, or heaven forbid ... worse. (That old saying of 'familiarity breeds contempt' can relate to our two-wheeled adventures too). : - }
Another route I do often is when I leave the Owls Nest I head towards Abercraf, and use the Old Trecastle road. Lovely roads and scenery that way too as you ride through the Beacons, it's about 12 miles of stunning scenery.
@@jedigeekbiker I live in Swansea so not sure about the North. However a few years ago we travelled from Swansea to Port Meirion (where the Prisoner TV series was filmed) on a Versys 650 2 up. We went Swansea, Aberystwyth and followed the coast road to Machynlleth, then onto there. Am sure we went through the Mach loop where the military fly their aircraft. Then again, anywhere in Wales we have stunning scenery and twisties :)
@@mikebelton1677 It is beautiful. I think we may venture to the mach loop. Were staying at Colwyn and having a blast around Snowdon. Just hope its dry in Sept.
I moved from Bristol to just south of the Brecons 5 years ago. I know those roads well. For anyone thinking of doing them, be aware that the police know them well too! Loads of speed limits in place now, and all they have to do is listen for a race can wailing, so that they can point their camera at the bend you are just about to come howling around. Weekdays most of the traffic/tourists are not there.
Brilliant bit of kit. Wanted one for ages but couldn't find one that I wanted with the size etc. I've only got a 96 cb500 so not much room lol. But yeah this bag is awesome. Solid as a rock on my tank! Worth every penny.
March '19, I had no bike Kawasaki, for 27 years, got a fuel inj. Bandit 650 one very careful, cautious owner who basically ran it in for 15,000 miles, Wow !!!, at least 58, 59 times more biking joy than in 84 my nearly new Kawasaki 750 turbo, heard first production bike any size, to do the Standing quarter mile in 10 seconds, mine did 161 mph., almost certain it wouldn't do over 80 mph., before the red line ??, in 2nd. gear ??, Bandit did. BEST bike ever, and I'm not even lying. Yours sincerely Scott Loch. Na, Professor Bandit B.T.E. Torque Enjoyment only, nothing technical out. ps. Sadly now a semi retired Crazy Mad Banditateer, FEKKIN Banditaholic, ruined for any other bike, and I ain't even lying.
@@jedigeekbiker 161mph., was my nearly new Kawasaki 750 turbo, Bandit 650 inj. 4th gear 6,500rpm., 89 mph ?, red lined at 12,000, such a biking TREAT, BLISS.
