Sorry about the crash, Nick! Great attitude though- back up and on it!💪🏼 The protective gear did it’s job very well. That road looked seriously daunting😳

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Freddie 🙏 was very sketchy in some areas for sure. Always like a challenge 🤣 very impressed with the airbag. Bike parts ordered and will be back to normal this week. Lesson learned don’t ride on ice 🤣❄️

@ALifetimeMeasuredinMiles 10 месяцев назад

That’s a shame buddy, we can all look back and think why did I think that was a good idea, upper crash bars help avoid the fairing damage. Glad you’re ok, all part of the learning process that is never over 👍. Don’t mention drones, been there. Not a lucky day…..

@the_cafe_racer_project 10 месяцев назад

What a lovely passer-by. She really was concerned for you. Nice to see someone genuinely caring for others!

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Yes she was a star, 🌟 so grateful

@fantastic1965 10 месяцев назад

Glad you're safe. However, It's got to be said that's a schoolboy error. Ice will always wipe out any 2 wheeled conveyance. You'd have had a better chance riding the thin verge or simply turning back and finding an alternative route.

@theymusthatetesla3186 10 месяцев назад

If I saw that on the road, whilst riding, I'm turning around! I can't believe you tried it!! Water on road, and hard frost on the fields....that should have warned you.

@GadgetMart 10 месяцев назад

Eerrm what exactly did you think would happen on ice? No surprises here! I would have slowed right down, both feet flat on the floor, even then dodgy!

@bcuzicancuellar5478 10 месяцев назад

Dang, glad you’re ok Nick! Thanks for posting the vid to show the rest of the world the real world haphazards we face daily when riding. Too many moto-vloggers will only post the good. Ride safe…

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏 real life isn’t always great 👍

@johnyoung6498 10 месяцев назад

... Mmm. Keswick about 90m above sea level temperature 2 - 3 degrees. Honnister Pass +350m above sea level. Temperature drop per 300m is approx +1 degree. No sun on the road down to Seatoller. I would have thought it was highly likely it might be a wee bit slippy! Despite all the gadgetry & heated grips you cannot defy physics Glad you are ok, impressed with you lifting the bike and giving yourself some recovery time but poor decision making.

@adrianstrand1120 10 месяцев назад

I’m surprised you rode over any of the passes with your experience knowing water always runs off the fells onto these passes roads, then freezes in sub zero temperatures, glad you’re ok.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Adrian, yes I know 🤣 should know better

@markbezzy 10 месяцев назад

well hopefully rider and bike ok :) ..."you can see here,sheer ice"...checks speedo...18mph.....continues onto more ice...then trys braking lol.......1st gear idle would be my go to for this and cover back brake only and head for the grass at the side for more traction until clear but we've all done daft stuff myself included where you look back and see what you could of done different so long as you learn something all good :)

@martynpearce4754 10 месяцев назад

Glad you are OK. But in the Lake District after a wet spell, in December, with temperatures hovering below zero, on narrow roads that you know won't have been gritted! Why take the risk when you know its very likely you will encounter ice. As black adder would say its slipperyer than a slippy thing thats been to night classes to learn how to be slippy🙄Take care on the rest of your travels dude!

@inked-96 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad you're okay. You could see the ice a mile off? I would have gotten off and walked it through it. That's the exact reason why i won't buy a premium bike to use all year round. Good old V Strom. Rude safe.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏

@john-wq8kf 10 месяцев назад

1965 i learned ice is no no snow slo slo but iced is park up and dont ride I even had probs with my BSA C15 in the ice on a big bike my Vello 500 i wrapped that so old is wisdom

@jediknight2350 10 месяцев назад

thats what happens when you try and ride on ice with a heavy bike you go sideways lol lol you need some off road training to help you you can ride the ice if you know how.

@daddystu7046 10 месяцев назад

Yes if its 2/3 degC along the motorway, those upland passes will almost certainly be icy, especially north facing slopes. I thought 20 years of mtb would've rammed that home but... i still slid off with the motorbike on a shaded roundabout last winter. Always learning. They should put an ice mode on these ECUs. Twist throttle = absolutely zero response ;)

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

🙏👍

@Grumpysprout 10 месяцев назад

Crazy to attempt it......😢 I'll start looking on Copart.

@bryantelf7811 10 месяцев назад

I hope you’re feeling ok today as that looked a heavy fall and sometimes the slow ones can hurt more than the fast ones, It is a credit to you how you pulled yourself together and carried on with your journey and video as most people would have set off back to home, One comment you made is how I have lived my entire life by and sounds like you have also. Get knocked Down Get Back Up Again Stay safe and well done Life Is For Living 👍

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Yes feeling fine thanks 🙏 the right gear helped for sure 👍 got to pick yourself up and move on, positive vibes 👌

@aidens04 10 месяцев назад

Yeah no way I'd be riding that road in those conditions. Very dangerous. Glad you or the bike weren't too damaged

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏

@alichamas63 10 месяцев назад

Damn, glad you're ok man! Looks like you were coming down just a little too fast for such treacherously slippery ground, though I imagine even peddling on that would be tricky. Top heavy bike especially doesn't help, though it wouldn't be a real ADV biked without some kind of scuff or battle scar now would it? :) Like a 4WD with no dirt on it. Good thing it wasn't the Bonnie! Safe riding mate.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks buddy 👍 nothing that won’t fix. My stupid mistake 🤣

@gerrycollins2335 10 месяцев назад

I doubt that speed had anything to do with it. He was riding very slowly and carefully. It was the lack of friction between tyre and road surface that caused the front wheel to slip out to the side due to the smallest steering input and/or camber in the road. In fact, had he been going more quickly, there is a chance that the gyroscopic effect of the wheels would have helped the bike stay upright - but I wouldn't recommend trying it on a public road!

@jamesonpace726 10 месяцев назад

Don't fix the crashbars - you've earned those scars, be proud....

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

I know but I like it mint 🤣🙏👍

@trailingarm63 10 месяцев назад

Well you wanted adventure - you've had one! Before cars became affordable workers would commute on their motorbikes through snow & ice like that. My grandfather once got lost in a blizzard in North Wales. My dad went out on his bike to look for him. Gauntlets and a greatcoat! I think we're getting a bit soft these days but I applaud your honesty in showing the spill - we tend to keep those to ourselves.

@markthompson2466 10 месяцев назад

2 to 3 degrees.... My van dash would warn of black ice as soon as I put the key in.... But isn't it common knowledge and common sense that Black Ice is guaranteed bad news... Sorry to sound negative but you seem to have covered everything including how warm the seat is... Priorities seem a bit reversed from what's common sensical

@RichardS-qh8mi 2 месяца назад

The good thing is you’re in one piece. Bikes can be fixed, but I do wonder at your plans to go out on such a top heavy beast on an icy day! Oh well, lesson learned.

@FourIntoOne 9 месяцев назад

Dang! A spill AND a totalled drone. Bummer, still could have been much worse , broken bones and all that hassle so thankful for that, and live to ride another day.....

@gazoutabout 10 месяцев назад

It happens pal, shame about the drone thou😕 Pick up dust off and onwards, personally I'd leave the battle scars, it's a conversation starter 😅

@stevoone342 9 месяцев назад

Good job it’s all repairable and some hurt pride. And hopefully lessons learned. Personally I don’t go out riding much in winter. But since I live not far from buttermere I need to get out into the park more than I do. It is a stunning place the lake district and I’m probably guilty of taking it for granted. But equally next year I may also tour up the west coast of Scotland. I use to be an all season biker but much prefer it know riding in better weather 🌦️. In winter I plan my next tours and big trips also get any work needed done ready for them. And yes I have become a sessional biker.

@Sanemancured 8 месяцев назад

Sorry about the off. My thoughts on hearing you exclaim ‘sheer ice’ is that you were going a tad quick. I’d had been down to walking pace. Peter

@guystreet5413 10 месяцев назад

Respect for what you're doing, but welcome to ice, that's right you can't ride on ice, no matter how much you spend on gear and gizmo's. from Canada.

@nicholascrocker4329 10 месяцев назад

Dropped the bike and lost the drone. What a bugger of a day. If you didn’t have bad luck you wouldn’t have any luck at all 🙄.

@gingerbard2607 10 месяцев назад

All the comments I've skimmed through are laudatory so I hope youdon't mind mine too much. The noise of people's drones (the clue's in the name) spoils the quiet enjoyment of other people and so I think you should not use the replacement item in such a beautiful, silent location. Please.

@Daz533 8 месяцев назад

You should have much more experience than to ride your bike in icy conditions mate. Does not matter what bike your on sheet black ice and bikes don’t miss. You’re ok that’s all what matters.

@Swarbrick129 10 месяцев назад

Wow you where still doing 14 miles hour onto that ice why didn’t you slow to walking speed or stop and turn round ???replayed the crash a few times you grabbed the front brake witch pulled your steering off centre but you survived to tell another story just a we note why didn’t you get the bike recovered after the fall and hip injury can be the worst even at low speed I personally think all crashes with a bike should disable it until reset by the dealer after it has been checked out and made fit for the road you put yourself and others at risk by carry on

@wanderlpnw 10 месяцев назад

They call that black ice here. Really nothing you can do about it. Just hope you don't hit it at speed. Good thing you were so cautious. Very little damage done.

@wombal177jim 10 месяцев назад

Glad your alright ! air bag vest worth its weight in gold Top man sorry about the drone.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Wombal 🙏👍

@125ZJK 10 месяцев назад

It's strange , the most over riding feeling is embarrasment. People trying to help just makes it worse....strange but true. Glad your both OK.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏

@ivor1957 10 месяцев назад

Good you’re okay but can’t believe an experienced rider would even consider riding through rutted ice like you did.

@thomasmeyer8336 8 месяцев назад

That is why I like the ears of a bmw GS . With the orginal Motorprotektor in the same conditons nothimg will happen an d it is easier to replace it on the tires.

@briansummers5389 10 месяцев назад

Glad you ok mate,that's why i don't ride in the winter anymore it's not worth it,and I Don't need to now my days of riding in all weather's are long gone .at least you are OK.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Brian 🙏 appreciated

@martinowl 10 месяцев назад

Impressed by how you managed to pick such a heavy bike up & how little damage sustained. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Thankfully you aren’t damaged & the damage on the bike is soon forgotten or remedid. Leaving only self annoyance & embarrassment to deal with.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Cheers 🙏 yes I got off lightly I think 👍

@philmcc8106 10 месяцев назад

Hi thank god you and the bike come off, forgive the pun, practically unscathed! I have a BWW F750GS and would be very weary about going out in frosty conditions, I’m not a fair weather Rider it’s just I know the area very well. It’s lucky you didn’t lose the bike over the edge. Very nice lady who came to see if you were okay. And to top it all your drone just wasn’t your day.

@thebigoaktree8401 Месяц назад

I appreciate you sharing this. Vulnerability is a super power that most will never tap into. It makes us all better. That being said, all falls are scary. Sheesh. Glad you had on all the gear! I remember some time ago when you got the bike I asked you whether you were getting uppers and bark buster hand guards. I believe that you didn’t care for the aesthetics of them. Do you think this changes your mind about those additions? Great that people came to check on you. Also your attitude about your fall (and the drone loss is A+.) Keep creating. Be well my friend.

@MOTOUK1 Месяц назад

Hi 👋 and thanks 🙏 So the crash didn’t change my mind on upper bars no, I prefer the look without still. Cheers Nick

@thebingleywheeler 10 месяцев назад

As long as you’re ok pal…..still looks expensive on the bike though

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

@DaveBoothroyd-ej5in 10 месяцев назад

Jeez Nick that was a Hollywood fall mate. Delighted you’re ok and what an advert for airbags. Happens to us all and fair play for carrying on. I hope you get the bike back to new soon bud. Well done for handling the event the way you did. Cheers, Dave.👌🏍️🙏

@MOTOUK1 9 месяцев назад

Cheers yes i love the tiger and the Bonny i have. Thanks for the sub 👍

@exeterrider 10 месяцев назад

Glad your OK and all things considered the bike is aswell. Those bars saved you a few quid for sure. Been there famously! With a few more f bombs. Your right it does knock your confidence but hopfully that gets better in time.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍 yes all ok airbags are great things. Bike needs about £200 to put right and a new airbag canister

@user-hf8ie8mf3n 7 месяцев назад

Off topic, but anytime I see Lake District I get nostalgic. Keswick, 1978 and I was a wide eyed teen visiting the uk. Probably better in my head than in reality, but I have fond memories. Glad you’re okay too. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

@MOTOUK1 For the first time in my riding life i have just bought all new SPADA gear . Hope that i dont need it to protect myself .BTW what drone are you using . I am travling upto Donegal next week to collect a bike and the views are just stunning and i would love to get some cool pics and a couple of vids .

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Congrats 🙌 so drone is a DJI mini was!

@stevezephyr 10 месяцев назад

Just subscribed and the first video of your's that I've watched. Glad you're okay, you went with a clatter but luckily you were fine and not too much damage to the bike. I'm very much a fair weather rider these days, although when younger I'd ride in rain, hail, ice, sleet or snow, not for me now, ride safe and keep the rubber side down.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Steve 🙏👍

@BikingChap 10 месяцев назад

Sorry to see this, nothing you could've done by that stage obviously and why at my age I've downsized to something more manageable. I think with the low speed tumbles the shock that can hit you in the next day or so is worse than a few bruises and, sadly, these no protective gear that can cater for that.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏

@pauls4708 3 месяца назад

I was concerned you would have a lot of trouble picking the bike up.I dropped my old r100gs on a bit of slippery clay.It was so slippery i could not keep myy feet under me when tryig to lift the bike up. I had to drag it to a less slippy place. Easy to say now but creeping down the very edge of the road may have been wise. People are good arent they!?

@MOTOUK1 3 месяца назад

@williamcoulter5462 10 месяцев назад

Honister Whinlatter Wrynose Hardknott Kirkstone and Newlands passes are the main targets for the cub in June 2024 but not on my Rebel 1100 but on my Super Cub 125 which I know I can get up If I drop it and this time trail it up to a campsite then do the passes while the better half relaxes with the dog at the campsite. Shame about the damage and I guess you're not claiming off insurance as the excess will possibly be more than a self fix with new parts and some spray paint.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏 and yes it’s £200 for bits on bike I’ve already replaced not on insurance 👌

@hunterrider349 10 месяцев назад

Hey Nick, here is a concept, its an adventure bike. When you start talking about re- powder coating crash bars because you have dropped your bike, maybe its time to rethink your priorities. ... Rather than blogging about riding motorbikes, you should just enjoy the ride.

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Mike 🙏 I could have just shut the cameras off but I thought hey it’s real life not all sunshine sometimes. The support and well wishes has been incredible. I’m glad I had the vest I think it helped. Still a little sore on hip and tbh will probably take a month off December to recover while it’s cold out -4c here this morning 🥶

@fingerhorn4 9 месяцев назад

Well recovered. But for me it questions the wisdom of buying ever more heavy/expensive bikes which are promoted as "adventure" machines, but actually they are ridiculously unwieldy in the very conditions they are meant to be appropriate for. Then you have to add a ton of luggage. Frankly a light scooter with plenty of underseat storage would cope better in those conditions, or a the very least a bike of half the power and weight, on which you could arguably have a better time.

@MOTOUK1 9 месяцев назад

I agree most big adventure bikes are way too heavy, I like the bikes though for road use and touring as they are super comfy on long journeys.

@yakari7983 10 месяцев назад

As a trauma dr absolutely support airbags companies need to buck up their designs: mesh as airbag vest too hot in summer , cover arms. Follow Honda gold wing example of pelvic tank bags design airbag for legs armours is useless compared to airbag otherwise we would have armour in cars instead . Need easy reuse of airbag when deployed but suggest caution when weather is so poor why ride ? U only have to break a bone and that stops u riding for 3-6 months

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

@keitht3055 10 месяцев назад

I bet you were soo relieved that you had invested in the right clothing 🙄. I was out locally earlier this year, when, stopped at some lights there was a guy on a Harley on the opposite side of the road, wearing, trainers, shorts,t shirt, no gloves and piss pot helmet! I had a jacket with AA armour, jeans with the same, Knox gloves and a carbon fibre helmet. I dread to think what the damage would be to him if/when he came off!☹.

This goes to show that you need the right gear and its so important to wear it . The young guys these days wear cheap gear and then pay the price for small crashes like this .Thank god not all of them do that Like Freddie said great attitude and hope that your all good . Fingers crossed but i havent dumped a bike for long time and i can only say that you must bea strong guy to be able to pick the bike up and carry on . Take care and good luck. Nice stream beutifull country side . 👍👍👍

Hi there I’m not sure if anyone as mentioned this but maybe you should carry a spare canister for the air bag vest because you could of needed it again on the ride home Just a thought I really don’t know how much the canister costs but must be worth it. Don’t worry we all have days like this 😃 please keep doing what you’re doing Regards Andy

from one Nick to another, from one minnow on the YT vlogging scene to a seasoned vet and from one lover of drones to another - what an eventful day you had, you have my sympathies. Those engine crash bars saved a fortune and I was amazed at how well the bike came out of it given the impact looked pretty damn heavy. Well done for keeping calm, rallying and pressing ahead. That drone though, talked about being kicked while down 😧.

Ouch, the 12 is a big bike to pickup. I have upper bars on the 9 just to try and save some of the plastic bits. The vest seemed to do the business is it just an easy replacement of a cartridge?

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Yes thanks all ok 👍 the cartridge for the airbag ordered a new one online £89 but well worth it and screws in connect wire done 👍

Why didn’t the tip over sensor work? Hope you’re okay not nice and very scary 😦 when that happens. Personally I wouldn’t ride in that conditions on a minor road

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Not sure triumph will check it out

@MrSimonfoz 9 месяцев назад

Nothing you could do there once it had gone. Just a shame you didn’t have the upper crash bars on. The joys of winter riding !!

@MOTOUK1 9 месяцев назад

Cheers Simon, I may get the upper bars but don’t want another silly fall. Have a great new year cheers 🍻

There are bad days and then there are these kind of BAD days... We have a saying over here... when it rains, it pours. I wish YT had a sad emoji for videos. This one would have met the standard. Sorry for your loss of the drone and get off. Any reason as to why the drone decided to take the drink?

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thank you 🙏 one of those days pick myself up and carry on 👍 yes the drone was my mistake also as it has no sensors and was at an altitude and for some strange reason was showing different height on the phone app. So I flew it straight in 🥲 it’s gone now

@martintaylor5879 10 месяцев назад

Glad you are ok , but to be honest that could have been a fatality if you was over the edge or hit a fence post ..do you make notice of weather overnight and ice frost no Tyres can save you but the damage is minimal ..Fair weather or nice weather still can be dangerous

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏 all other roads were dry and ok

@MarkATaylor 10 месяцев назад

Glad you were ok chap and credit to you for sharing that. I had the old gen 3 Tiger and used to fall off it in a lot kinder conditions than that. Ice is ice though regardless of tech. Do you think the new Tiger is still top heavy ?

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏 silly mistake that could have been avoided, still learning after 35 years of riding bikes. No I don’t think it’s too top heavy and a lot better now the lowering function is on it

@myrabenson1603 10 месяцев назад

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏

@mum-0217 10 месяцев назад

Looks like you had a bad day Nick. Main thing is your okay and only superficial damage to the bike. Sorry about the Drone just about put the tin hat on it! Perhaps better staying lower level in the winter months and if really bad then best to give it a miss. Get some rest and get yourself right before anymore vlogs. 👍🥶

@MOTOUK1 10 месяцев назад

Thank you 🙏 yes agree won’t be up any mountain this winter now. All ok and bike bits ordered to repair.

@RevBombUK 10 месяцев назад

@MsDenver2 10 месяцев назад

Oh that’s awful because drones are expensive , it’s odd how you can go months and then in one day everything seems to go wrong .
