Wish it could be restored to its glory, just for historical sake. Love things like this and hate to see them neglected. 13th century should be protected. I fear vandals.
@@mattyaztec i do apologise ... gosh so after a bit of digging i saw that the prince and princess of wales lived on the Bodorgan estate on the isle of Anglesey off the coast of north wales, which has an outstandingly beautiful 126 mile coastal path.... however the royals and estate holders stopped the continuation through their a land and blocked off all of the coastal path through their private land, and also William and Kate never bothered to learn the language or integrate with the local culture , so we have something in common! the royals did exactly the same thing to the native's of canada, but it got a bit more horrid .... diolch yn fawr iawn am eich amser
@@user-gk1lo6ni1byes the royals are a sore subject for a lot in Cymru 🏴 including me. No need to apologise thanks for taking the time out to bless my channel
It’s all built in to the bike pull away with the clutch then up/down as you please throttle off to go down a gear but to go up throttle open it’s smooth 😃
A lot of people with seats too high and legs not long enough for the big girls. It would be fine with momentum and speed though. These big’uns are not made to crawl like this. I should know, I was like this a year ago. Keep at it, you’ll get there, and when you do you’ll master that Norden. Lush bike!
Yeah too slow and when they barely get moving they quit, get moving get on the pegs and keep momentum. Should have learned on little bikes first. But learning now. 😊
Camera is helmet-mounted, so you can tell the poor guy is looking down instead of ahead. Combine that with going too slow, constantly stopping, too little spacing between riders.... Not the way to get up a steep, loose path. Great learning experience, keep at it! Traction control on, stand up, head and eyes up, focus on your desired line ahead, and avoid stopping.
Hiya mate, cool video, could you tell me where these lanes are please? I've got a Himalayan and a 790 Adventure, and I'm looking for (very) easy lanes, in the S.Wales (ish) area. I'm very much an amateur, and these look about my level 🙂👍 Grumps
Hiya mate they’re around sennybridge that’s where we start. One that isn’t in this video is the Roman road not far from sennybridge that would be a good lane for you. Buy a OS map for mid wales or Brecon Beacons they will be on there. Have fun
It is a nice bike, definatly on my list for next bike. What bike would you have chosen if not this one? Any issues? How come you use Brittish postal codes in your clip? Do you use that instead of coordinates? Or are you a philatelist?
I put the postcodes up as a reference for others to find the lanes I’m riding. It’s a great bike I tried the tenere but didn’t like it due to the weight being so high up. This Norden just feels more comfortable for me a great purchase..
seems all dry and fairly gripy ?. I ruined a few things on my Triumph Tiger 900 R.P in wet conditions in Wales last July. Sometimes it is all about going for it, without hesitation. Helas...it makes a drop worse than taking it slow
@@mattyaztec sir you did a great job. I’m 58 and debating but this bike. This must have been a steep hill. I just baught a Ducati v4 rally to nice to do adv and it’s awesome on the street. Be safe thank you 😊
Looks like one of those trips that were absolutely amazing! Once it was over. Memories. Lots of unsolicited advice on here. They are all correct. Unfortunately, I feel the need to jump in too. Not sure what tire pressures you were running but it seemed like road pressures, you gotta air down offroad or it will feel like you're on ice skates. I feel the pain with gopro not doing justice!
Man, this was epic! Thank you for being so honnest and showing this. The one that disappeared into the bushes had me going. I rewinded that part at least 8 times, golden. Subscribed for more.
Agree someone needs to make side deflectors for the tall windshield to give the air buffetting off your arms but it works pretty well keeping the air off the top of your head even with a beak on your helmet and I'm six foot three running 75 miles an hour
Can’t wait to join you , only done 700 miles on mine and still getting used to it. Big bike looks like you handled it well. You going to meet on Wednesday?
I won’t be at the meet mate I’ve only done 700 miles as well I should of probably done more before going on this ride haha. Some of the lanes were quite hard I know there a ride this Saturday which I think is a little easier 😃
Hardly, and you should have used the first gear but only because you are starting on a steep slope and you were gassing the Norden as if you were in first gear. When you start on a slope in second gear you have to give it the bees the right way, you have to give it more throttle as you let out the clutch feel the release, the bike starts moving than you give it more just to have it level out. Then you don’t stop, you stand up on the pegs lean in to the back a bit and steer the best you can, do everything possible not to brake traction on lose gravel on a down slope.
No damage on the fairing the skid plate is so good that it hits there first. So bit of damage on that and a little bit on the black exhaust protector. 😃
Put it in explorer mode turn off the traction control stand up and give it the business. The Expedition climbs like a billy goat. I never use first gear for climbs second or third. One finger on the clutch modulate as necessary
