Great video again mate always good to have safety information out their. Just a quick note perhaps I’m the only person who didn’t realise this but last weekend went out on the bikes and we got speaking to a very friendly traffic warden 😂 down in Lyme Regis. He said if your paying for a ticket as there was no more motorcycle parking you only pay for the bay. So you can put as many bikes in the bay as you like. In the past we have payed for each bike. All the best keep the videos coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I never knew that rodders. Good to know. I haven't needed to ever pay for bike parking yet, all the ncp here are free and most other car parks. Different in tourist locations I guess... I'll find that out this summer. Good info thanks.
Cheers yes something different. Not sure many liked it too be honest but you never know what will work and what won't. Glad you liked it though Brad, thanks 👍🍻
Oh well, I always appreciate getting a taste of the sights and sounds of different places. In fact, I love learning just a bit of local history as well. Probably those who don’t appreciate it are those who experience the area every day. Truth be told, I’m also interested because quite some years ago I spent 3 months touring England and Wales on a bicycle. I remember bits of Exeter quite well!
Great video, we love Exeter and really enjoy walking around the Harbour and the sites, keep planning to visit the catacombs but never made the time. Will definitely get down there once lockdown ends and they reopen 👍
It was almost like a diesel spill that day Kevin. This went public early. Its Fridays video but I hit the wrong button somewhere and it launched it! 🤔🤣
I would have thought that NCP should be responsible for maintaining the road surface for the general public - at the very least there should be a regularly reviewed Risk Assessment. Right, H and S hat off now..............good to point that out as it would be very easy to get caught out by that.
I wouldn’t buy a road bike without ABS but TC I could easily live without. My NC has TC and I’m quite sure that in the situation you experienced my wrist would respond quicker than the TC. It could be the case that there’s something wrong with the TC on my bike or that the TC on bikes such as the NC just isn’t that great.
Hi, I've found TC on most bikes cut in before you even know our feel or spinning of dry to the most sensitive mode. It definitely would have helped me in this case. I don't have TC my 2017. 👍🍻
Lots of comments on nylon tyres. It’s the Chinese tyres that are now getting the stick and rightly so. I remember when the Japanese bikes first appeared in the UK and the stock tyres were quickly designated as ‘suicide tyres’. The first thing a Japanese bike owner did was to change them. However, look at Bridgestone who now produce some of the finest tyres in the world.
@@exeterrider It's the same old story - you get what you pay for. Any motorcyclist worth his salt would not put budget tyres on a bike irrespective of aids like ABS and traction control.
@@exeterrider It's odd Honda fitted TC but not Cruise Control. Can only assume it's because they don't want to eat into Africa Twin sales as that's the cheapest bike Honda sell with CC. The new NT1100 is going to be interesting.
I want to pick your brains please as I’m bit of a numpty when it comes to technology, think you might be able to help. I’m going to buy one of those Drift Ghost XL helmet camera and need an SD card. For normal use, say just have 3 to 6 hours on the bike would a comparable 64gb Sandisk SD be enough to store this amount of re riding in HD? Cheers.
Pffft...traction control. No such thing back in the day 🤪 Also, abs. Nothing ruins a good skid more than abs 🤷🏻♂️ In all seriousness, thanks for pointing it out. It could save a country bumpkin like me being caught unawares. Are there allocated spaces for bikes in multi stories?
This went up by accident, its Fridays video but it went public when I was adding end screens etc..... Yes moto bays are in ncp car parks 👍when it pops up again Friday.... You've already seen it 😂👍🍻
Probably the only way to get them to take action would be to sue them for damage caused by their negligence, by someone who was not as lucky as you 🤷🏻♂️
I think it should be illegal for the cheap Chinese bikes to come on nylon tyres, my Sinnis has them, surely it wouldn't cost that much more to fit proper tyres from the factory?
Yeap - I agree . Although I have been lucky with the chinese stuff I have ridden that I haven't really encountered tires that are too bad to be honest. What Sinnis do you have YD?
@@exeterrider I've got a Hoodlum, I don't ride when it's too wet out but have heard of a few offs from other owners where they have put it down to the tyres have zero grip in the wet.
@@yorkshireperson Good to know because I was going to get a Hoodlum on long term loan till covid struck...ill look out for that thanks. Apart from the tires are you happy with it?

I like it here even if the town is starting to get spoilt with highrise student buildings. I can't move for the same reason you can't leave weston😅
Thanks for the heads up! forewarned is forearmed, that slide could have been very nasty, costly and injury causing! Best wishes (KB Wales UK)

Cool place to hang out on a summer’s day Cathedral Green...
It is Pete, and unless you have done that none could understand. Something about it isn't there. It kinda sends you back in time in a nice way.
@@exeterrider reminds me of the way the kids hang out in the Piazza del Campo... with cafes around.
Good advice that 👍
Thanks, I wish I knew about it before I nearly binned my bike. Hourly it will help others. 👍🏍️

Yeap swept under the carpet I expect. Wouldn't be cheap to put right proper - and lets face it- bikers are in the small minority.
Better than that! remember CZ's nylon tyres? useful vid there squire.
I don't domster but they sound like the tires the Honda Grom come with ha! Nothing worse than bad boots!

Yeap, I'm surprised things are not tougher from Brussels on the tire front. Nothing more important than decent boots👢👍

Too right👍I'm looking forward to mine running out to get some Pr5s 👍🍻
Traction Control on the NC can only be described as ambitious ;-)
I can see it being on all bikes one day as part of the regs. More expense to us.
@@exeterrider With most bikes being Ride by wire it's super easy for the manufacturer to add TC.
@@TheDervMan yeap and cruise control 👍
@@exeterrider It's odd Honda fitted TC but not Cruise Control. Can only assume it's because they don't want to eat into Africa Twin sales as that's the cheapest bike Honda sell with CC. The new NT1100 is going to be interesting.
@@TheDervMan exactly my thoughts aswell derv, unless the adventure model comes with CC, we will find out soon.

Hi Mike, I would say a 64 is enough, but might aswell but the next one up just to be sure if I were you. Dosent cost alot more 👍🍻
Thanks very much, as we ate not going touring this year will get the 64 I think and see how that goes, appreciate your time, cheers.

Bit of everything here.

I expect so Kevin, they don't think of bikers, they seem to have the mindset of cars only.
@@exeterrider well it is called a 'car park' after all 😂
Good point 👍😂

@@exeterrider It's my first bike so I have nothing to compare it to, but I really like it, comfortable to ride and reliable so far.
