I didn't fancy taking my brand new bike down the forest drive, i wasn't too sure what to expect, so took the alternate route to Keilder via chesters & saughtree which takes you down some great roads that you will no doubt know, but it's on my list for future, maybe on my older bike, as are a few other roads i fancy doing in the area. GL

just got back from 4 days walking in the Lakes and itching to get back on the bike for a nice day's ride through the lanes, but the weather is still shite here and looks like will be for a while, so at least i can relive a recent trip in a part of the country i really like & will be back in soon 😄 thanks.

nice one pal 😁

How has the helmet faired over the last 8 months? Recommend it?

I honestly believe that there's certain things in life where you should always buy the best and comfiest no matter the cost, (and maybe figure how to pay later lol), and footwear is one. This is borne by my lifelong hassle getting them to fit my deep and extra wide feet. A good pair can last decades, and the measure is that you don't even notice when wearing them, wheras ones that aint quite right give you a constant reminder. I have had a pair of altberg walking boots for 8 years, still good as new, & after trying on dozens of pairs of motorbiking boots at places like SBS, paid another visit to Richmond for a fitting & bought a pair of altberg Hogg motorbiking boots. At £330 for the special XW size and a 16 week wait, it's a fair chunk of time and money and a bit of an intake of breath, but i doubt i'll ever need to buy another pair, so well worth it. I didn't try on the oxfords, but they look good quality, so hope you get good long service out of 'em. Cheers

I did the 250 starting on 2nd Jun, riding from home to start at Rookhope via barnard castle and stanhope similar to yourself. I stayed at the Masons arms in Norham overnight, then back to allenheads and home the next day via St Johns chapel then middleton for a total of 497 mainly enjoyable miles in the 2 days which flew by even though i wasn't gunning it, although i did run short of juice when i reached otterburn so had to double back and go 8 miles to Bellingham to be safe, as some locals told me there was'nt anywhere else near, but hey-ho lesson learned. I know what you mean about those sheep, so annoying !! even when you beep your horn when getting close they just look at you funny and carry on eating in the middle of the road as you crawl past. If i was designing the route, i would'nt do so much on the A68, id pick a few more lanes, as there was a fair bit of traffic when i was there probably because it was a nice day and a sunday, but at least the sun was shining and the scenery great. Nice to see it from someone else's perspective, i'll keep an eye out for the next one, and mark the gun down as a possible stayover for future, looks great. GL and thanks.

NICE..WANT ONE

2nd view of your unboxing and your opinion. Thank u Sir. Ive just ordered one Cheers from Nova Scotia

Great idea see you just don’t have to spend loads of money all the time with a bit of creative thinking well done good job

That would do my head in after a couple of hours top vid carry on

I'm a new subscriber. Good review! Ride safe!

I recently traded my HD RoadGlide for a Triumph Tiger and made the switch to a modular helmet. I wound up getting an LS2 Valiant 2 and I absolutely love the way the chin guard rolls to the rear of the helmet b/c I prefer to ride open face with the clear visor down. Having the option to roll the chin guard forward for cold or rainy conditions and use it as full face helmet is pure genius in design. I can’t understand why everyone who prefers a modular design isn’t going out and buying an LS2. The other thing which I think they did well with the LS2 was design the visor to engage a detente that leaves a small gap for air flow when the visor is down. This is the most bullet proof way to ensure the visor stays clear even in the most adverse riding conditions.

Far from a idiot my friend.

Living on the south coast we simply don't have such open countryside, it seems after 10 minutes riding your back in some big town or major A road. Nice to see such open space riding

funnily enough i went through pickering yesterday as part of a 195mile day out including pickering-newton-egton-then had to detour round the stonegate-danby section coz of a road closure i couldnt pass like i did on the pickering-newton section, but took in westerdale-ingleby-chop gate-swainby, all in lovely sunshine. I love this part of the world especially the moors like around the top of rosedale chimney, which i aint done this year yet, but last year had a bit of an issue going up it on the last 1:3 bend on my 125 when i got spat off dropping into 1st & wheeieing coz the poor bike struggled to lug my 19st frame up it lol, but shouldnt be a prob this year on my bigger bike. keep uploading the vids coz it's great to see bits i recognise lol, thanks.

Not sure as I have never taken notice. I just put it on if it's a cold night for a few hours before I go to bed. Keeps the chill out of the shed.

How much oil does it consume if used for 10 hours?

thanks again for posting the route, i've done a few of these roads but still plenty untried that i'll hopefully incorporate in the summer, so keep 'em coming :)

Nice ride round in beautiful countryside great video to watch not much traffic chill out relaxing ride take care ride safe

Nice looking mod. I was considering doing this to my scram. Are the spacers alumium or plastic? Where did you get the kit from and how much? Mike 😊

Would i be able to run a ten inch tv on it or charge the a ten inch tv as it chsrges up thanks Jx

Έχω αυτό με 25 πόντους λάμα. Μπορώ να βάλω μπαταρία 4 αμπέρ;

Super gentle ride through the beautiful country side. Thanks for posting

Me and mrs d are buckled at u , nicely demonstrated by sexy pants 😂😂😂 but on a serious note, great idea bro, might of saved mesel £50 if i had done that instead of using chippings, but hey ho, hope it wks, ill be copying, 😂😂 see u this weekend bruther

How did the barrow move on its own? Couldn't see you with that camo 😂

Thanks for the vid, i like the place names superimposed every now and again, it makes it easier to follow your route and drop a pin on a map. I've never done the Clay Bank To Castleton Road, so will have a look the next time i'm up there, hopefully in a few weeks. GL

Interesting video açai pity about the miserable day them pinlock inserts are excellent aren’t they I have one on my adventure helmet it’s a god send I’ve also got a couple to fit on another helmet like a pinlock for inside and one for outside supposed to stop all rain from staying on the visor but yet to try them yet and that cafe what a beautiful place so much space in there tables well apart lovely I take it Karen dosent like the fat on her bacon 😂 I love the fat on all meat as you would notice if you saw me😂anyway both of you take care ride safe

Great interesting video love Yorkshire been up a few times I live near Colchester in Essex bit flat around here we had a holiday at saltburn by the sea stayed in a old tin miners cottage great neighbours there as well we drove over the mores a lot love it went to goathland as we always do on the steam train from pilkington and Scarborough we love but anyway take care ride safe

Nice one 👍

Great relaxing ride and scenery

Mine aren't waterproof either. quite disappointing considering the rest of the RST gear is so good

Im enjoying the leisurely pace of your videos. May I ask what 360 camera you are using?

I did mine yesterday, to work. 2022 s1000rr. Got drenched but feels great.

Have had the same boots for over 2 years and worn in some horrendous weather. Also, worn them on 4 separate tours and have never had any issue with them. Have 3 pairs of boots and always go to them because of comfort and weather protection. Real shame you've had this experience

Shame about your experience with the adventure x’s, had mine 18months in most weathers and I’ve had no similar issue, I just lost a screw from one of the lower buckles.

weather has been just terrible day after day for so long, starting to piss me right off lol. I'm more a fair weather rider these days, but seeing my brand new bike stuck in the shed with 1 mile on the clock after waiting so long to get it was too much, so had to take it out the other day in less than perfect conditions for a spin through the dales. roll on the sunshine, i love the NYM & will be there many times this year. GL

Great 💯. 🎉🎉🎉

Nice video

Nice peaceful lunch stop. I like finding similar places while out riding.

I returned to riding last year. An accident in 2008 left me partially paralyzed with many permanent injuries. I had been riding since 1972. So not riding was like losing a limb. I live on a popular motorcycle road and had to watch them go by day after day year after year. So I finally snapped and bought a bike. At 68 I went with a slower versatile bike. A KLR650. It’s like getting my life back after not riding for so long. Only riders really understand. I’m

I have had a lot of success with Moldex Rocket earplugs (purple ones) work fine for me with intercom/music, but cuts out a lot of wind noise and are very affordable

what made you go back on 2 wheels after a 30 year break

Just luuuurve the colour of your bike!

I'm was the same with the foam ear plugs. Hated them as you can just feel the mechanics of the bike too much. Got some Alpine Motosafe ones and they are great. Can hear the intercom and vehicles around me but deaden the wind noise.

I've been using ls2 valiant for about 5 years now absolutely love them they dont make the ls2 valiant now and I'm looking at the advant x which I will buy one and I think you will be very happy with yours

It looks like the LS2 logo is painted onto the helmet. Is it actually a sticker? Can it be removed?
