What's your opinion guys? A useful way to shorten a long ride section or a con to make you look fast? I personally don't do it ever but I want to know your takes 🤷♂️ @hachewie @sprocketrocketchris

Mivv Exhaust "unbox" for the vstrom 1050
It's situational for me. Generally on the right. If I'm riding with a partner, opposite side of him/her to stay in their mirror. I never ride in the center because that's where oil, a/c condensation, etc. drips from cars, reducing your brake time in a panic stop.
I try to avoid the center like the plague for the same reasons. But yeah the situation is the deciding factor though in the end. 🙂😅
Road position should be chosen based on your observations. Mainly you should put your bike where it is immediately safest and gives the best view of the road ahead.
That's proper advice! 👍👍
No heart attacks OK.
Your Vstrom is spetacular , no Brazil this color hasn't arrived, yet is
What Year is this Vstrom And What Color is it
@@antonio24300 This is the third time I've told you....2020 grey...Google it mate!

@@antonio24300 Good luck. I hope you find one like this 👍👍
Grumpy old bastards 🤣lol Only when cyclist are around!! 🤣

There goes half of my content! 🤣
@@GermanJobbies 😂😂😂
always good to practice those slow speed skills!
What? I can't hear you! lol
I said ........
That's an excellent top box it'll be great for traveling
I was surprised, it looks reasonably sturdy enough in the mount.
Smeghead haven't heard that since I use to watch red dwarf 😂
Oh that' must be where I got it from 🤣 yeah that was a funny show!
damn swiss cheses and their 50 euro stickers. Most annoying, you buy one in December, and in January you need another one
@@ioandragulescu6063 best thing was I had not long bought one for the wee strom but you can't really get them back off.
@@GermanJobbies well, you must have a certain mentality to get rich. The Swiss make me wanna go commie sometimes, but just for a little while :)
@@ioandragulescu6063 My late father in law told me that the Swiss are the real nazis 🤣
don't complain about the heat, this summer was amazing in these parts. Barely a week total of over 30 I think. Last year or two years ago I went for a ride and it was bloody 40, outside the city... good thing I had my backpack water pouch thingy, drank some 2 liters in 3 hours or so, sweated like a pig.
@@ioandragulescu6063 oh yeah agreed. Thay water pack is something I've thought about before...is it huge and heavy or practical? I don't want to be hauling a 45 litre bag of water on my back? 😁😜
@@GermanJobbies neah, I got some super light 3L backpack that is made for a 2L water pouch with a nice hose and sucker routed over the shoulder. And I can use it while riding which is best. I can barely feel it on my back, both weight and shape wise. It's called EVOC CC 3 L but it seems it's discontinued. Maybe look for smth similar.
@@ioandragulescu6063 nice. I'll be looking...that's my next amazon parcel sorted 🤣
@@GermanJobbies get a camelback. It's a good brand and there is a 1.4 L bicycle version on amazon. and this is the god damn 6th time I'm posting and youtube keeps deleting my posts for some reason. And get a liight color unless you want to drink soup. Or tea ... hmmm
@@ioandragulescu6063 You need to stop swearing in your comments then dude 🤣 no idea why you're getting deleted. Sometimes it takes me a while to comment if I have poor network signal.
Smeghead 😅 wish our roads were as good as yours. Its like riding off road over here in places lol
@@BMCMOTOUK But you probably have lots of empty cycle paths though Sean which is better eh? 🤣🤔
@GermanJobbies yes alot of our cycle paths that the council have spent 10's of millions on are empty most of the time while vehicles are queued up in congestion
@@BMCMOTOUK fkn clowns need a good hiding
@GermanJobbies they need more than that. All they are doing is creating misery for all road users by altering the traffic light sequences and funneling traffic into spaces that's so tight, especially us big boys (and girls) who drive big powerful trucks and buses lol
@@BMCMOTOUK yeah but that's a bonus for them 🤣
I choose lane position 1 most of the time. Hardly ever choose position 2 or 3. 2 is bad for reasons you say - oil, debris and other items tend to be in lane position 2 and when those things are hit they usually get kicked to the edge of the road towards lane position 3. Lane position 1 is very visible to oncoming traffic. It's very visible to your own flow of traffic. It's typically (but not always) the 'cleanest' part of the lane. Lane position 1 will also give you best line of sight on any oncoming cars making a left turn across you.
I do not need a top box or trunk anymore. No more women in my life to warrent one. Now, survive with saddle bags and I own two soft 120L and 100L waterproof bags I can lay across the back and stay them down for long distance riding. Also, I can't find one for less then 500 dollars and that is not worth the price of use. Use it 500 times before I sell the bike... nope. I live at the beach, I won't take a lady of the night anywhere anyways. So, the saddle bags can fit my fat head XXL helmet when stopping for 🛒!😂
I didn't buy the top box for the wife! 😅 You need a woman, like is better shared. 😉 you beach bum 🤣🤣
Funny how you cuss out crappy drivers like I do, but I wave when they're courteous. 37 celsius is as bad as in Boise, Id. Been over 102 F. for weeks. Anything over 90 blows for having fun on a bike imo.
Great bikers think alike 🤣 Yeah no matter what I wear i still sweat like a .... it get really humid here. Boise? is that Idaho?
@@GermanJobbies Yes it is and I've been here too long. Every loser from every state is moving here. When I got here, homes were cheap, uncrowded and there weren't cops and cameras everywhere. Ready to move to Missouri.
I'd love to move to the U.S. 😎
@@GermanJobbies I'll sell you my house cheap. California- where I used to live is a wonderland for riding. The only reason I moved here was to escape Silicon Valley and it's politics. Now it's way worse. Anyways, lots of real estate to ride in.
@@FrankBonessa I thought CA was now a dumpster fire?
The joys of urban riding 🤣🤣🤣I get out of town as quick as I can given the amount of useless drivers about. Mind you, the Scottish cities are getting worse by the day as they never manage the green spaces but turn them over to "nature", it a mess.
To be fair this was a Sunday morning so very empty. We got "normal" traffic too but the tarmac is still in the main A1 😅
What country did you buy this color and model of vstrom 1000 ??
Germany. it's a 2020 or 21 ☺☺
Que País vc comprou este Modelo e Côr maravilhosa da Vstrom 1000 ???
Germany. a 2020 or 21 I love the colour so much!
I miss having a top box.... Very handy..... Smeghead 😂
it's my first one Scotty. I wonder how I survived without them! Handy af. Smeghead is a blast from the 80's eh 🤣🤣
Smeghead! 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 Add to inventory lol
Haha, not heard that one for a while.
Insults are my medium Bleary 🤣
Here the middle is often too rough, many roads here force you into one of the tire paths. And on the windy roads trucks and cars often cross the center line. So I ride the outside tire track on the windy road and the inside tire lane if the road is straight.
@@whatsup3270 Good point actually, the middle part is uneven a lot of the time cause of truck ruts either side. Its not easy out there is it! 🤠😅
I prefer the middle or outside, depending on road condition. We live in a scenic area frequented by bikes and there are far too many that hug the center line. If I'm in my car, centered in my lane, and I have to pull towards the side to avoid the risk of catching an oncoming rider's handle bar, they're in the wrong place. Happens every day during the riding season here.
Oh man yeah bikers on popular roads are nightmares! Fo it myself sometimes 😬
@@GermanJobbies I'm a rider, but mostly dual sport and enduro stuff. What gets me is how often I'll make eye contact with an oncoming rider, typically on a Harley, and they have a defiant look as though they're saying with their eyes "make way for me, I'm a tough guy". I'm thinking "you putz, you're still upright because I moved". It doesn't matter where your tires are in the lane, it matters where your handlebars are.
@@LongPondNH The more expensive the bike, the more right they have to the road eh 🤣🤣 I'd love to get off road more but we don't have many opportunities here 🤮
@@GermanJobbies Come visit!
@@LongPondNH where are you? 😅In the U.S.?
I ride near the centre of the road until there is approaching traffic when I move to the outside. The reason people say not to ride near the centre is because they are protecting themselves from opposing trafic going wide of their lane. My philosophy is that the whole lane is mine, so I use it all, and my lane position depends on the situation.
@@TheRealGOAT6 Great logic 😎 I think this approach is probably THE best.
This is the correct mentality. I ride in position 1 as well and do just what you describe. Pros and cons to all of it but to me this is the most sound logic.
When I sit on the toilet it's always the middle 😂
You lot got toilets down there yet? I bet u aim to hear the perfect plop.
I use all three positions depending on what the situation is around me. Position 2 is the rarest, though.
This seems to be the consensus 😁😁
I deliberately speed up by 10X parts of my videos to skip over the boring bits, rather like you find in some dashcam videos. I even have a speeded complete tour of Ireland. But I show the interesting parts in real time.
That's a good use of this edit 👍👍
On the black soft bit !!
@@WeeGee58 yeah but do you have a black hard thing strapped on to the seat? 🤔🤣🤣
@@GermanJobbies improves cornering grip on the seat mate !
@@WeeGee58 🤣🤣🤣 I'll take your word for it
@@GermanJobbies 😂😂😂😂
This is the first video of yours I have seen, keep up the good work and humour. I am a 60+ RE Interceptor rider and many channels the algorithm promotes often show stupid riding, obvious brand promotion without acknowledgement and/or BS reviews. Glad I've found you, just subscribed
What a lovely comment 😊 Thanks Sir . I agree with you about advertisements dressed up as content and those lame ass reviews 👍😁
My default is to cruise near the center line; driver's side. It gives more visibility to traffic in either direction for both me and others on the road. Also, there is always an out available going towards the right side of the road if needed. All this goes out the window on tight mountain roads, of course. But I don't consider that cruising.
@@brentlanyon4654 Yeah and it puts you right in the driver in fronts side mirror. Good logic about the escape option.👍🤠
Not sure who commented or how… but they may have been stunned at how fast stuff went bad!!!! I was! I speed up a bit but it is obvious. Because I want to show the terrain I am going over. It I ride ridiculously slow 🤣🤣. Don’t be insulted unless she was being insulted. I could totally see myself saying. Holy s:*t was that the real speed!!! Because it was quite horrifying ❤
@@jeanaesday Tbh I don't think it was that fast. I wouldn't ride crazy fast around those areas because there is a lot of cars bikes etc using thise roads too. Trust me , earlier that day I was behind some really fast riders and I let them go because I couldn't keep with them safely! Anyway, I was just peed off that the commenter thought I was trying to fool people. There is more than one way to get dynamic riding footage that do not require speeding stuff up...all within the camera settings 😃
@@jeanaesday you need to ride slow while off road though. I bet that you would disappear into the distance in front of me if I were riding off road with you 😅
@@GermanJobbies oh I didn’t think you were speeding. Just when it happens I had to watch again. Because when things go bad… it does happen fast. And yet one’s mind would slow it down all at the same time. As you know too well. What makes me laugh at her comment is because didn’t you actually slow it down so people could see how it happened 🤣🤣. Anyway hopefully she want being snarky. And if she was that is just social. There were so many other things that deserved a comment on that vid!!!
@@GermanJobbies you were tearing it up off pavement on that video. You will be hooked with in a couple years. Is my prediction ❤️!!
@@jeanaesday I think we are talking about two different videos here 😅The comment was about my Holy trinity Alps vids, I think you're talking about my crash video? 🤔🤔🤣
Depends if I am in the group. But I generally am in the middle. The amount of cars I see drift across the line are disturbing. So I give my self enough space. Even if they are not distracted. I have the ability to give space to a car that reacts to something that made them come over the line. I alsoook to see the terrains on my right off the road…to see if I can ride it if needed. We were in a heavy motorcycle area and were stunned at the about of people who had a whole lane and road so close to the line those handle bars were a bit over. A four wheeler who doesn’t know how to drive is only going to make more mistakes if you scare them 😂. IMO.
@@jeanaesday This is an awesome point! Car that end up just over the line! YES! Great point. It is a very common occurence. I need to adjust to this actually. Thank you for showing me a massive blind spot I had on this topic 😮😃👍
Hey man. Thank you for the shoutout. I greatly appreciate it man. So far so good. I’ll make the most of this opportunity. Got to live man. Lots to live for. My brain is definitely shrivelling though.
It's wonderfully brave mate. Respect. There's still plenty of life left 😎
I sit in the driver position which looks the same as your good self 👍🏻
It's a great position to stalk your next overtake victim 🙂👍
@@GermanJobbies 😂👍🏻
I have to dodge potholes and collapsed drain covers so I'm all over the road lol
Aye Sean but you'll no let the council fix them! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😉

All three pending on traffic and turns.
It's those edibles that make you do that 🤣🤣
@@GermanJobbies let's not talk about edibles... was sick as a dog on Sunday. I think I am allergic to melatonin. Had one to make me sleep and had vertigo for most of sunday.could not get out of bed till around 1 due to dizzy and wanting to toss cookies all morning
@@GermanJobbies to be honest, single lane first position, two lane 3 position, highway 3 position. But I am all over the lane with pot holes and traffic and bends and turns.
@@GermanJobbies and no, I did not watch it to the end, or like it , I think I unsubbed and your crazy to think I will write something. 😂
@@BlakesPipes Probably best attitude I reckon mate
I sit on my bike.
Tart! 🤣😉
@@GermanJobbies sorry.
You got a shout out in the video before this one
@@GermanJobbies I’ll have to go back and watch it.
I'm all over the place, depends on the road surface, view needed etc etc etc. If straight line, just right of centre. position 2.5
The "Dynamic" position 👍aye gotta be the best approach I think-
Kinda same as you on straight wide roads, position for best visibility of the road ahead on the twisties, and defensively when around other road users. I'll often throw a little weave on my line, if there is a car that looks dumb/distracted at a tee junction waiting to join the road I am on. It catches their eye more. Sitting back and nearside can often help to grab an overtake, if you get a view of the road ahead from the inside of a long sweeping curve. But this all happens naturally without thinking these days. I kind of feel that if you need to think too hard about riding, your probably doing it wrong.
Good points Stevie. I guess it's knowing the best position for the given situation. Yeah for wide, straight stuff me too, between centre and middle. 👍
I'm all over the place and it's completely up to the situation I'm in. Road condition, traffic, visibility and so on.
The "Superpostion" eh 🤣 yeah it shouldn't be just one fixed for all situation position eh.
Middle to outer for me and never on nearside.
Yup unless there's a lorry coming and or its raining 😁
I tend to sit on my motorbike, it's generally the easiest place to ride if from.😂 I tend to sit a little right of the middle, when following traffic it makes good for an escape route
Radical approach, ON the motorcycle! 🤔🤣Yeah you're like me, rut number two position 🤣
I ride where you do about 15-17 inches in from middle white line.
I bet you actually measure the right distance with a measuring tape too eh 🤣🤣
Sounds like my Mrs mate. Can't have a headache, gotta be a brain tumour 🙄
@@tojj29 🤣yeah I know that kinda shyt too

@@haggiswhisperer it's the Internet eh 😒😅
so speeding up is bad(not saying you did it) but I bet all these muppets are watching videos filmed with ND filters and manual exposures to induce motion blur so 50 kph looks like 100 and they all get wet about them. People ey? To be fair though, the few tests I did with my cammy I like motion stabilization off, looks more lively. The only problem is that I listen to music while riding and I would have to stop myself from bobbing my head whenever I hear a nice song. I also like to use the force (might have posted this in the past, apologies if so, my brain getting shriveled and all :)) ) th-cam.com/video/j18Qo_zyumQ/w-d-xo.html
@@ioandragulescu6063noit bad. There's no rules but I just didn't like the snide way I was accused of something that never happened.
Your Scottish you'd be offended by 2 flys rooting 😂
If there's one thing you'll know about, it's flies mate 🤣
You have a face that only a mother could love. LOL. Me too. You said in another vid that I'll feel the difference to the 650 and I can't wait. Sometimes riding is comparable to having sex. Well not quite but close. Have to have a cool bike tho. VS1050!! BTW, a deep nod is a lot better and SAFER than a wave. Don't wave at HD riders anymore even if I'm riding one. They have a real problem in the us.
Tou probably have tge perfect face for radio huh 🤣 What kind sex you been having? I wave but nod Is less faff😉
