Bees, bikes, Recumbent Trikes and a Motorcycle ride, Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 (The Best) :) 

Glad you like the videos Dan, do you have a certain region of the UK you would like to see?

@@WiltshireMan Yes, I would like to visit London again. I would like to see Buckingham Palace again and go to a pub again. I would also like to go on a guided tour of old churches and old castles. Take care, Sandy!

Thanks Chris, yes this is extremely comfortable to ride, I love it:)

Thanks Anita, Rupert is delivering the trike to me on Saturday just 3 days time then I'll be out triking. I will still ride my "normal" bikes but it will be great to have the trike. I have a feeling I am going to enjoy it very much

I agree...25,000 miles since 2008 on my Actionbent tadpole trike...its my baby! I put a rear hub motor on it after a couple of years and mounted the batts under the seat. If you electrify make sure the batteries are as close to the centre of mass of the combined vehicle/rider unit as possible, for the best handling. I can happily hold my own in vehicular traffic up to 30 mph. Good to get a mirror on each side for safety, and a flag.

I'm looking forward to some nice long rides on this trike Neil, being out of the wind will be great, wind noise whilst riding is really a nuisance

Hi Steve, When my brother and I kept bees over 30 years ago we also used commercial equipment, most of our hives were Modified Dadant or old 13 frame British National brood chambers (Old Alec Gales top bee space brood chambers I believe) they would fit to Dadant supers. I doubt I shall ever get back into beekeeping as I have too much on but I can look back and remember lots of good times. Sadly my dream of becoming a bee farmer ended when I got married and moved to the town and became unwell and just generally went through a very difficult time for several years, thankfully things are a lot better now apart from the lack of free time. I am trying to locate R. Manleys final resting place and the location of his out apiaries also the same for A. W. Gale for a video project, do you have any info I wonder?

Thats what it's all about:)

Hi John I'll still be riding my "normal" bikes but can appreciate the comfort afforded by a trike:) It should be a lot of fun

Anything with wheels will grab my attention Terry. The wheel is man's greatest invention and I should know as I have had numerous blisters walking but none where wheels have been involved:)

I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology :)

Thanks Angela, I think I'll be OK with panniers on the trike but guess it would pull a trailer if needed

Been riding a recumbent trike for a few years and never encountered any of the issues you raise. But I suppose it’s not for everyone. They are great fun and never had a problem going wherever I want

@@neilsonwheels I live on the London Surrey borders and with the amount of traffic on my commute I couldn’t just can’t slip down the side of a queue of cars also I couldn’t just pop it up a kerb to switch to the path. It was great fun but I couldn’t justify keeping it along with a “normal” bike oh and I also managed to roll it on a laden ride off-road so. As sandy has different bikes for different jobs I’m sure he will get on just fine just not for me. 👍

I was out on the bike and did cross the A420 but was on the bridge that carries the Shrivenham to Highworth B4000 road

Hi Charles, Looking forward to exploring the countryside in comfort on this trike, I think I can safely say "Comfort" when compared to a normal upright bike :) Hopefully less wind noise too.

Hi Dickie, yes I shall have a flag for the trike, everyone seems to think drivers won't see a trike but many drivers will swerve when they see a rabbit:) Chug is doing well, I clocked up 126 miles yesterday:)

You can probably fit a komode and an electric motor Martin:)

Your right on both counts Marcus:)

I like to try new things Marty:)

It's certainly possible Brian and as for the trike very comfortable indeed:)

I thought the same. Possibly a Bob Yak although they are not made any more and quite difficult to find.

I will make sure the Y fronts are nice and tight:)

@@WiltshireMan 😂😂😂😂

Yes I think the same but when I speak to others that ride them they all say they enjoy them more than a normal bike, more comfortable and less wind noise. A flag is a must!

Thanks Ken:)

There would be less chance of falling off with a third wheel Colin, but don't worry I shall keep Chug as a Motor Bicycle and not a Motor Tricycle:)

For riding long days then recumbent trikes can't be beaten, I'll be doing plenty of triking videos soon:) so will see how true this is

That would be a Great adventure:)

This will be a tarmac/ smooth surface machine Dave, it won't replace the other bikes but will make a good long distance tourer I reckon and be very comfortable too:)

Thanks Trekon, Yes it is an ICE Q:)

Trike arrives tomorrow Henry:)

Sandy, I look forward to the maiden voyage. How is poor old Dave going to keep up with you?

It's horrifying Bry how the developers are taking so much land nowadays. If the past generations could come back they would not recognise many of the places these days! Trikes are much more comfortable than bikes as your body is supported but they are also less convenient, everything has its pros and it's cons I reckon:)

@@WiltshireMan I saw something saying we need to build 2 houses per day every day to cope with the immigrants!! So much for the Rwanda flights!!!!

On the motorcycle I have a power bronze windscreen, thats how they come, it is taller than the one supplied with the bike from Royal Enfield

Don't worry Gordon, I am

I think I will only choose to ride it on certain roads Steve, statistically there are not many accidents with trikes involving lorries

there are not many trikes ?

I no longer fly, getting too old for it, it takes a far bit of good coordination and strength and technique to launch a paramotor safely and I'm lacking in the coordination department.

@WiltshireMan that is why they have trikes lol

Do you miss it?

@@vincentbizon4525 Not really. I found the higher you go the slower you seem to move and a horrible blue haze goes over everything. The closer to the ground you are the more interesting but also the more dangerous. I am now quite happy riding my bicycles and motorbikes

@WiltshireMan I have been flying a few years now. But I also enjoy cycling as well. Always wanted to ride motorcycle but can't do it all lol. Cheers!

For the sake of not wanting to harm the English language and the written word I have removed the apostrophes. As it is Englishness is having a hard enough time of things at the moment. It may take a while for the Thumbnail to update though as that has to go through the machinations of RU-vid

@@WiltshireMan Apologies, my comment looks rude in hindsight.
