Vol 4.2.1 | 3,000-Ish Miles on a CB500X, Miami to Tulsa, Part I 

Hello from Miami, FL! I’ll be in the UK for a wedding the end of July and I’m hoping to rent a bike to experience some of your stellar roadways!!

@@kfotomotoFantastic! Which part of the country is the wedding?

London, Twickenham, but then a grand tour of the isles. Thinking about riding thru peak district or something. Def want to make a stop at Bolt and/or bike shed 😁

Thanks! A lot of life things happened all at once recently but I am planning the next part, shortly! I really appreciate your appreciation!

Wow thanks so much! Really appreciate that even though I hate the sound of my own voice, as does everyone I think! Ha Really hope you enjoy Part II and definitely get ready for riding season! That 500X is just raring to go, I bet!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed this shorty one!

Next one never came sad days

​@ElGancho08 I agree. He had it going on too. Liked his style.

Yeah apologies there! I stopped filming once the 500 was gone- First came an Indian Scout Bobber but now I’m riding the AT ES! My first helmet was the AGV K3 with a chromo visor (a must!), but now I have my 2nd Arai XD-4 👍👍

Agreed! It’s an absolute hoot of a ride to through around in the city and on dirt tracks. I’ve recently found it quite excellent for ramping ‘speed humps’ :D

I’m alright… My grams passed away recently plus life happens. Thanks for checking in, definitely coming with last II soon!!

@@kfotomoto Sorry to hear that. 😔 My condolences. That stuff definitely takes precedence. Great job with your videos. I've enjoyed them a lot. I'm from Ohio too BTW. 😀

Get out! Buckeyes everywhere!! Hahaha I grew up out east of central OH, it was pretty but I was glad to move :D

@@kfotomoto Yep! I'm from a small town just north of c-bus. Ha ha.

MOSTLY fixed with the windshield extender: Justech Motorbike Wind Deflector... www.amazon.com/dp/B07RYLLVS1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share The throttle lock needed some epoxy to hold the pressure pad on but then was amazing, that was an Atlas throttle lock 👍

I was going to camp but weather worked against me- first severe storms plus flooded campsites and then 95+ temps overnight along my route… Hotels were the thing! I think I would have preferred hard cases for this type of travel, but they cost so much more plus it is difficult to find the correct mounting brackets here in the states, on short notice. I was able to find a plethora of mounting options in Europe but not the states. Again, the cost difference was dramatic: I purchased two different sets of soft bags (touratech & mosko) for the cost of hard cases w/ racks

@@kfotomoto gotcha. Yeah there’s no way I’m camping in that type of heat. A few days ago I purchased a pre-owned BMW F750GS with Lone Rider soft panniers and they’ve been working out really well. I’m glad they came with the bike because I don’t think I’d shell out the $1,200 for them. Not because they’re not worth it, only because I’m cheap :)

AMEN. I don’t mind spending money but I do want to be strategic! How’s the 750?? I looked at those once but it wasn’t for me… I hear good things tho!

@@kfotomoto I’ve only been able to take it out once but so far it’s been great. Just a super smooth ride. I have to make a few adjustments. The only downside I’ve noticed is the weight but I’m hoping its just me riding a new bike and get less noticeable as I spend more time on it. The low seat height is a plus as I’m 5’5”.

Let me know when you put some miles down as I definitely want to hear how it goes over time.
