BBB #26: How to pack (really) light
Short and sweet. Andy B is a master of packing light. We’ve always been amazed how little he takes on tour. This year he excelled himself and only had 20 liters of space in his scrotal Tuono panniers. How could he do it? He’ll tell you all. And somehow we got through this video without using the c-word.

BBB #25: Kriega Overland and US Stuff - Any Good?
มุมมอง 1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Is Kriega stuff any good? As usual, we put our money where our mouth is and buy it with our own money to find out. Scholey has a pair of Overland panniers on his GS that he uses for his crisps and Jack Daniels bottles. He’s also got the Kriega tank harness and a US5 strapped to that. Tobers is trying a US30 and US10 stacked setup for this trip for the first time, mainly full of pants and botox....

BBB #22: Mini review. Can you tour on an Aprilia Tuono V4?
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this mini-review Andy B looks at the logistics of touring on an Aprilia Tuono V4. Faced with an enviable choice of bikes for a 10 day Europe tour to Portugal, Andy B chose his Tuono over, amongst others, a BMW GS Adventure. Can a Tuono tour? Let’s have a look.

If you’re interested in how to get diagnostics and real-time info from your bike’s engine management computer, then you need an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) unit. These plug into the OBD port that pretty muc...
BBB #20: F900XR Crash Bung Farkling
มุมมอง 11K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Mick's growing group of rapacious admirers have demanded to see more of him in his garage, so here he is fitting a set of Puig Pro Frame Sliders to his F900XR. Perhaps he has misunderstood them when they asked him to "bring some protection" on his next XR group meetup in that woodland car park in deepest Surrey.
BBB #18: BMW F900XR Dynamic Pro Mode Setup
มุมมอง 14K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In another of our riveting “TEC Talk” videos, Mick takes us through the nadgery details of getting Dynamic Pro mode set up on his BMW F900XR. BMW have contrived to make something quite simple into a mixture of multiple button presses and twiddles. Hopefully this will help other F900XR owners get their Dynamic Pro mode enabled.

Plus, we try a new way of recording on-board comms, which we've always wanted to share as it's part of the fun of riding with ...

Mick takes us through the farkling he's done on his BMW F900XR, and adds a new Akrapovic carbon end can & collector box. We also get to see the Cymarc TFT screen security lock and rear rack setup. He's also got a Puig windscreen on there. The Akrapovic exhaust was £875 complete with the little carbon heat shield thing, from Calsport in Birmingham. Puig screen was £91 and the Cymarc screen lock ...
BBB #14: The Future Of Bike Technology
มุมมอง 6503 ปีที่แล้ว
After our surprise about the inflexibility of the technology on the Ducati Multistrada V4, Andy B commissioned himself to do in-depth research into the future of bike technology. You should see what is coming down the line from Bosch. Will you love it or loathe it? Are you ready for Tesla-style tech on motorbikes? Or do you just want to leave all that crap behind and enjoy the riding? Or will t...
BBB #13: Multistrada V4 Buying Decision
มุมมอง 2.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Amazingly our feedback on the Multistrada V4S was actually useful for Andy B's decision making process. And we've had a comment from a viewer asking what he has decided to do. And many more comments providing brilliant assistance to our conflicted friend. In this thrilling "reveal" and "reaction" video, he tells all. Where is his money going? Is he getting the super-bling Ducati Multistrada V4S...

มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Should Andy B buy a Multistrada V4S? He needs a new bike, but does he get another KTM 1290 Super Adventure, or something else like a BMR R1250GS? To find out, he blagged a 0-miles V4s on loan for several days in the middle of winter, and now he needs the help and advice of his good friends on his decision. So we all convened on Zoom to chip in seeing as the 'vid prevents us getting together in ...

    This is by far the best way of fitting one,I noticed all the ones available for sale have made no provisions for the handrails and also they expose the underside. I have had to replace an entire ECU,loom and lockset on one as a direct result of this. When I do eventually get to fitting my own I’ll be copying yours for sure 👌

    What year is this? I have the 2021 F900XR. It is not the same as this one you are showing. Did you mean to not tell what model year this is? The reason why I need you to tell what year this being applied is because the 2021 model sliders are attached at the same sites the 2021 OEM BMW crash bars attach on both sides. And, the OEM driving/fog lights are attached to the crash bars!! So, if someone buys and applies the sliders to the 2021 model, then later wants crash bars and lights, they are gonna be mad for not being told.

    On my Tuono I use the Hepco and Becker Sportrack and a 40 or 50 liters top case. I have now added these Hepco side racks also and in total this gives good packing volume. Unfortunatly I bought the Street model bags and the Akra fried it.

    Guys the little cartoon icon is brilliant. Greetings from across the pond. It's so interesting to poll your other riding 'mates' for their opinions on what bike to buy. I've ridden and raced my entire life, two strokes, four strokes, motocross, desert, and finally road racing an RC51 before retiring from that life. Then went on to teach track skills. In all that time I never owned more than one bike at a time, all purpose-built. Like one of the men said, I am pretty pragmatic about what I purchase. How much will I use it? How long will it sit? One of the reasons I never purchased a camper; or what you all call a caravan is because of the cost/expense/usage factor. Tent camping fits my frugal mindset, with no storage fees or a five-figure outlay of cash. I purchased an electric motorcycle, a used 2017 Zero DSR with Charge Tank. Loved it and rode it a few thousand miles. Experienced charging here in the States, real-world stuff. Waited to see what Zero would do with the new DSR/X and also looked at the Energica Experia. After reviewing the features/price/value of each I looked at the Multistrada V4S. Never owned a Ducati. Well since all three bikes are close in price I decided on the 2022 MS V4S Sport. It was the dealer's demo bike and they had just reached the mileage where it needed to be sold. So it ended up being less than either the Zero or the Energica. And with features that ECLIPSE both of those bikes. Racing teaches you to be a real bitch about suspension,tire pressure, and brakes. Adjusting suspension with a joystick?! Science fiction in my racing days! Unlike you blokes, I tend to ride alone now. Total freedom to do as I wish, stop when I wish, and so forth. Is it a perfect bike? No of course not, but there isn't any such thing. Yet for me at this point in my life, it is the bike that's right for me. I write for Web Bike World and am working on a WRITTEN review of the bike. It will take some time since there is so much to cover that I don't see or read in other reviews. Owning is different than using a demo bike for a day or three weeks. Much like dating a gal and then going on a long vacation where you get to see one another 24/7 for multiple days. LOL, You know what I mean. Anyway, very entertaining piece you all assembled here. I'm a one-bike-at-a-time guy, much like one wife at a time...

    Gents, For some reason I cannot access your Nazare Tour or Quadlock videos without signing into a google account which is something I don't want to do, when watching your vids on my TV. I can access all your other stuff fine, so this may be a set up issue when you posted these videos? I know I'm using my account to send this message but that's becase I'm using my phone which I rarely use to watch TH-cam. Great vid re packing light. I use a Kreiga US 40 on the back of my 2018 KTM 1290 Superduke R for touring in Spain, which I do every year and like you pack light. Great videos chaps but just not enough of them.

    • @beardedbaldbikers4634
