When this video was made I still had four Nico. Just a small overlap (at least that's what I told my wife) as two were ready to be sold on so that I could have the Sled 😉😂

@@shamoy1000 Not so bad here in Scotland. These ones see people daily and seem to live along the roadside. Makes it easier for them to move around the valley. Still, I wasn't going to risk startling them by reaching out to pet them on the way past.

@@CodgerBiker Managed to get 4 PIGs from that one trip back in May. Feels like that was years not months ago 😭

@@CampbellZeroOne It's been pretty crappy all round this year 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧

@@CodgerBiker And still it rains...

@@Ilikethemotion Good to know. Thank you 👍🏻

@@CodgerBiker My butt is no longer capable of going on any adventures... 😉🤣

@@CampbellZeroOne Keep going. Ahead lies wisdom, and a bloody big screen 👍👍

@@CodgerBiker 😂🤣 Not a chance! Well, not this week at least 😉

@@CodgerBiker Upload imminent...

@@CampbellZeroOne Good Luck this time 🤞

@@CodgerBiker Only because they don't do tee-shirts 😉

@@wilswood8137 Well in that case I'd ask for a refund. You never got the full Scottish experience. I went north today and got a whole TWO hours of wind and rain on the return leg alone! 😂💦 Glad to hear that you both had an enjoyable holiday mate 👍🏻

@@CodgerBiker No medical. Just signed the usual stuff. But you were medically insured in the cost. Got hardly any views that. But Mrs CZO and I will be watching it into our dotage.

@@CampbellZeroOne That's all that matters. 👌

Editing, conditions, wind noise, god knows what else…the time it takes to put it together, but it’s another sanity outlet! Audio sounds good mate 😎👍🏻. Been a paltry year for biking, or at least it seems to have been! along with quite a limited summer or so it seems as i’ve also been away with work when it’s been decent. I keep Almeria ( Being my favourite track) in my weather app and it’s still 26 deg there! dunno why, it’s a bit depressing at times 😂 maybe time to relocate! but very hot in the height of summer.

@@twistandgo3414 Yeah. There's a fine line when it comes to temperatures and riding bikes. Somewhere in the low to mid 20's is spot on to me. If our weather was a little more predictable, I'd say Scotland would be right up there as one of the best places to stay and motorcycle. I've taped over the inside of the chin vents. Seems to have helped a fair bit 🤞🏻

There's not a grub screw on it. I have that a mention on the follow up video Mobo. You could try putting a drip of super glue/loctite on the seam where the ball joint and mirror meet to see if that works. Otherwise, I'd drop Oxford an email and ask if they can help you out. Seems to be a design flaw that should have been foreseen.

@@V2Movement These mirrors are sold separately as a left and right. Have you bought two for the same side?

Going back for tuition in the spring Chris 😉

Yeeeeeeeeees! 😁

@@OAikoT I'm pretty sure that the guys in the truck behind (along with the convoy of traffic behind that) were already on the case. They had their phones out.

@@CampbellZeroOne Would hope so. I know it's harder to do on motorbike unless u got helmet with Bluetooth.

@@OAikoT And unfortunately, my Sena is out for repair at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Jk-oz5qn That's a tiny UK A road 😉 Hundreds of other freight/whisky/wood lorries a day manage this particular stretch just fine. Lots of them foreign. I don't think that was the issue.

@@twistandgo3414 Being on a bike came in handy for sure. Everyone else looked like they'd been stuck behind it for miles.

Tbf your better off being behind that then in front of it

@@Neon_guyy Places to be though. He wasn't even hitting 40mph most of the time.

@@CampbellZeroOne thats true

Nah I wouldn't risk it. Better to live to tell the tale.

@@Jools-j2l It did cross my mind. But realistically, there was more chance that he'd have driven over the top of me 😬

@@chopperhehehe He didn't like bikes, cars, lorries or vans. We were all queued behind him 😉

It's a Leo Vince LV10 @Cnuggets

@@CampbellZeroOne Thanks man, Appreciate your reply 😃

do you have customizations you made to make it sound like this?

@@Cnuggets Other than a K&N air filter, no. I think that the narrow streets in the video help with the sound a little. But that's pretty much what you get even with the catalytic converter still in place. Here's the link to the installation video. And if you look for the 'Project 401' playlist on my channel there's lots more bits and bobs with the Svartpilen in there: th-cam.com/video/4LyI8_gD1tM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QQncAK_c_YmsXg6B

@@Neil-f3v Pretty difficult to compare them directly Neil. The Sled was bought to do the job of both the 790 and Svartpilen 401 so isn't really in the same category. Handling, sound and power wise the 790 easily wins out. But for a long day in the saddle on any kind of road surface in any weather condition, I'd give that to the Sled. The Duke always surprises me. When I haven't ridden it for a while it's easy to forget just how good a bike it is.

Thanks for the reply. I now have an Indian FTR which is bonkers and my 790 is going to be exchanged for a DS as I felt the duke would always be a second choice to the Indian so wanted something different. I have enjoyed the duke. 😊

@@Neil-f3v Ooh! Very nice. I had my eye on one of those when they came out with the carbon version. Had a look at one in Saltire Motorcycles Edinburgh. It does come across as a bit bonkers 😂 Sounds great too. Well in that case, a Sled won't be a bad choice to have next to it in your garage. Especially if you fancy going further afield. I do need to improve the throttle response on my one though. It needs a cam to shorten it/speed it up a little. I think it'll liven the bike up a bit.

@wilswood8137 Had to go to Portugal for some sunshine ourselves. It's been a terrible summer. Forecast looks good for next wee. Fingers crossed it lingers 🤞🏼 The Monster is a cracking road bike, but the Streetfighter is safe for another year yet. Tried both the Hypermotard SP and Hypermono. Enjoyed both, but preferred the bigger 950 SP. Best Ducati Ive ridden to date. Just too bloody tall for me to feel comfortable with if I had to stop somewhere unexpectedly.

Saw your posts from Portugal , looked great ( jealous about the pillion ride ) Being 6,3 the hyper fits me perfectly its definitely on my radar 👍 and fingers crossed the sun gods shine ( keep your rain magnet indoors please 🤣)

@@wilswood8137 In that case, the SP will fit you perfectly! Just for you, the Streetfighter will remain tucked away beneath a reflective foil cover until further notice!

🤣👍

@CodgerBiker Yeah. The service for the Sled was extortionate! 😉

@@hallvardstorvik362 Yup! Any tail tidy is an improvement. Some folks like the OEM hanger. But to me it makes the bike look like a scooter from the rear. Definitely more 'scramblery' with it removed 😁

@@1911doc That's a LOT of km on those Scorpions 😯 Well done!

@@gavinswanson2101 Not just faster than Moose! We went faster and more leaned over two up than I've ever gone on my own 😳 His name is Ruca. Said that "next time we can go faster" I honestly dunno how?!! 😂

@@colinforbes7228 She's a wee bit rusty these days mate. Maybe next time 😂

Same as when we're hitting rollercoasters in Florida 😂

@@jean-frederickjacques6780 Link to the decal video short below. Check in the description for details of where to find them and what to ask for: th-cam.com/users/shortsFUr9HkZ6jZI?si=n260GqA50rTqEwve

@@CodgerBiker Deffo 😂👍🏻

@@HippoDrones Eleven years is a bloody good innings though Pete. And at least when you went your separate ways it didn't cost you half of your home and pension 😉

@@CampbellZeroOne 😀true.... although customising the bike cost me more than buying a second V7 new! 😀

@@HippoDrones Ah! The honeymoon period, when you lavish her with gifts... 😂

@@CampbellZeroOne Haha... I think it was at around the 5 year point I customised it

@flying5145 No action cameras of our own allowed bud. But you'll get to see my wife's reaction as she got off the bike for sure. Priceless 😂

@@CampbellZeroOne Oh yeah encase they come off they will be like weapon. When racing the go pro's got banned for that reason. I am sure she it for a big shock! What is the bike in use for the experience?

I'd not get on back of those. She is brave as!

@@flying5145 It's a fully prepped Yamaha R1. They (the circuit) had their own cameras mounted to use anything they liked for promo material. Hopefully one day it will pop up on their social media. The pilot did not hold back. Once he'd tested you under braking and knew that you'd lean the right way through the corners he flew. A fantastic way to experience Portimao 😁

@@CodgerBiker Wait until you see her once she got back in 😉

@@CodgerBiker That was the 'dull part'. The next two are pretty special.

@@CampbellZeroOne You should ride round here! 😉

@@CodgerBiker 😂🤣👍🏼

@@wildcard9624 It feels more torquie everywhere. As for wheelies, you are asking the wrong fella 😂 But if this doesn't do it for you, I don't know what will.

@@CampbellZeroOne That sounds like a good start! I ordered the 15t to start, Will add some in the rear if its not enough! Thanks for the speedy reply

@@wildcard9624 No problem. Let me know how you find it 😉👍🏻

@@wilswood8137 Yeah mate. Some days I could murder a Mars bar. But on others, I'm more in the mood for a Bounty. A selection pack is the way to go! 😉

@@DukeOfTwist Admittedly that's a great (possible future classic) But again, I'd still sell it for newer and shinier... 😂

@@CampbellZeroOne I'll probably be doing more Drag n Dive events in my Merc's than Track Days or big week long bike rides in the foreseeable future. Doesn't mean I'll stop riding just different priorities.

@@DukeOfTwist I get it. I mean, it must be a bit boring riding the same old roads in your tiny country 😉😂

@@CampbellZeroOne Your funny but my brother went for a 900 Kilometre 2day ride last week on his most recent purchase a '21 1290 SDR GT on say 1/2 the roads I've never seen.

@@DukeOfTwist Good bike for it. Been watching loads of vids of Aussies on adventure bikes lately. You're spoiled for it over there.

@@twistandgo3414 Aye. That's the good thing about bikes. There are so many different categories and budgets to choose from, that you can usually home in on something that suits your needs and tickles the old cockles at any particular time in life.

@@CodgerBiker In your case, the MZ chose it's 'forever human'! 😉

@@CampbellZeroOne 👍😂

@@TheMrHudsonGuy Hi there. They are okay. No distortion in the mirrors and seem to be holding up okay so far. But they aren't in the same league as Rizoma. My only worry with them is that if the pivot becomes loose, there is no way to tighten them up as there's no grub screw. If you can afford Rizoma, go for it. If not these will do the job and suit the bike.

@gavinswanson2101 Gamekeeper country. Can't stay still for long, or our heads will end up on a wall 😂👍🏼

@@xMuFFiiNSs A bit too 'jungle' for my tastes 😂

@@CampbellZeroOne yes exactly 🤣

@@rzracer69 Thanks. Yeah, they are great do it all tyres for sure 👍🏻

@@nipso4367 Not so much as it was for his insurance company 😬

@@twistandgo3414 Cheers Chris. Yeah, it just makes it easier to get it off the bike if I'm not using it or giving the bike a good clean.
