    Freddie. When filtering, it is illegal to overtake the last car before a pedestrian crossing, because it may be obscuring a pedestrian. While I’m on my pedestal, please think carefully about having your hearing sense obscured by music or whatever and being distracted by listening to something in your helmet. As vulnerable bikers, we need to be 110% aware of what’s going on around us. Excuse the preaching, I love the channel 😀😀😀

    Freddie, overtaking that van on the zebra crossing was illegal and incredibly dangerous, as you had no idea if there was someone on the crossing. Also, “filtering” down the inside of the lorry isn’t a good idea, again, you have no idea if there’s a pedestrian crossing between traffic. I know it’s London and “rules” are slightly different, but remember to “ride to arrive”. 👍

      Was just about to comment on that myself. Triumph would not be impressed to receive a notice of intended prosecution in the post. As a 37 year police officer the consequences can be devastating. It happened to me once overtaking a stationary bus in London when a homeless man staggered out from in front of the bus, not pretty for me or him!

    I *rarely* have any music on even when driving my car. I cannot understand why anyone would want to compromise their concentration when riding a motorcycle by importing a risk like unnecessary noise. There is a reason why pilots and train drivers are not allowed music/radio in their cockpit or driving cab.

    Freddie Bad Bad Bad no overtaking in the zig zag area of a Zebra crossing Give a £100 to the local Air Ambulance as punishment , you or anyone on that crossing could have needed it , you were totally blinded by the van , secondly the lorry you cut through if he had pulled away quickly you wouldn't have made it , Filtering is fine but it needs care and thought and never more than 20 mile per hour than the traffic speed this gives you good reaction time if anyone manoeuvres with out looking or as you know it happens moves to block you .

    Had plenty of ear plus , inter fit, Sena Cardo etc form 30 yrs of riding the best ear plugs are moulded ones and the best for comm are the moulded with speakers built in and direct cable to your intercom. Intercom used correctly great safety tool comm with other riders warnings turns etc .not going to say which comms are best safe to say have used Sena 50s for 3 years in huge rain storms throughout winter. No issues most issue are rider user error Sena has more ports options than Cardo so cover them properly do t stick your mic in your mouth vent as it gets wet

    Tempting but to my mind listening to music is to dangerously distracting especially with the general standard of driving dropping off a cliff with other cockpit distractions and info overload.
    In any event I ride to enjoy the environment around me not the noise in my head. The smell of the air, the sound of the engine, the wind on my body. Riding a bike is intimacy with the environment at speed. I get enough action in my ears when I get home to the misses. Know what I mean Guv ?

    Freddie, whichever helmet you go for, get a *_Cardo_* Comms system. A couple of manufacturers integrate a Cardo, I AGV is one.
    I have three Sena systems (because Comms companies don't/didn't play well with each other) and only the oldest one works as it should. The more modern ones that incorporate Mesh (e.g. Sena SRL 2/3 in Shoei helmets) have real problems, especially when trying to get SatNag directions while listening to something else. As a heads up, a lot of helmets that offer built in Comms use Sena units. I've been using Comms in various helmets for about 14 years now, so have had a while to test them out 😁

    Choose the best helmet you can afford then fit an aftermarket intercom. I have a Cardo linked to a Carpuride on my Triumph. Full Android Car thing and Spotify. Works a treat. And you can take calls as they come with a mike. Modern helmets have the space for these built in.

    Freddie I have a full face helmet and an open face one, the open face one worn with safety glasses gives me the most riding pleasure and satisfaction as it's so light, I can breath easier and appreciate the surrounding sounds better, big helmets are claustrophobic and heavy, yes they have their place when crossing continents but in general it's the open face version for me, consider that.
    Oh and by the way, not too impressed with your London filtering, it's only a matter of time before it ends up in tears riding like that. Ride safe.

    I fitted an intercom last year after riding for over forty years. It enhanced safety when riding in a group as the leader can yell mud, gravel tractor etc. I also listen to music on long trips and I can hear voice instructions from my iPhone satnav which is very useful.

    Hey Freddie you are moving away from your mantra of talking about motorcycles. Now your followers are subjected to adverts from people who give you money. This makes your content diluted as you are not being objective and independent. I noticed this when you had the Mutt 250. You raved about it but never mentioned the vibration while riding it on the motorway and how under powered it was. I am disappointed as I believed in you my friend.

    I love your Fiat. Looks cute, but more importantly unbelievably reliable. And reliability is something I have never associated with Fiats or Italian vehicles in general.
    That Morocco trip sounds good. I've already had a modest Moroccan adventure in April this year. (Algeciras port is only 45 minutes from my place). And I have just returned from a European adventure (5,500 kms, Spain, France, Switzerland and Italy). However, another journey to Morocco??? I can hear the road calling me......
    By the way, what did you think of the Triumph Speed 400?

    Riding with music is great for the commute, and podcasts make boring rides bearable. I also find the speakers tone down the wind noise, which I always feel hurts my ears more than any music can. Always keep volume below 60% if possible.

  • @alanjl61
    @alanjl61 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    The Schuberth helmets are good enough to be rebranded as BMW own and lids like the E1 and E2 for more adventure styling and C5 for road style - The flip design allows a much smaller neck aperture which will prevent a lot of wind noise. They are also prewired for comms systems so you don't have to pull the lining out to install (more importantly try and get the lining back in afterwards. They are the Metropolitan Police lid of choice. Oh yes and an internal tinted sun visorThey are brilliant and I only wish I had discovered them earlier.

    Freddie, why do you need another helmet? Don’t you have a couple of them. Can’t you put one of those cardio things on the side of the helmet and then you can listen to music? Why not just put iPhone ear buds in your ears and listen to your phone. You really don’t need to listen to music in your helmet. Listen to the motor, and the wind. That’s what it’s all about. Or ditch that lid all together and really be free. All though your probably better off not to if your gonna do all that fancy lane splitting in London. You couldn’t do that in America. That would get you shot.

    I use a similar type of reader for my RT, works a treat. It's called MotoScan and costs about £50, then you have to download an app for your phone which (from memory) is about 20 to 30 quid. Very reasonable price to understand what your sensors are getting excited about and to reset fault codes once you've fixed the problem. Re helmet Bluetooth: tempting though it is, I think it's a lot safer just to concentrate on the road. As we know, it only takes a second for everything to turn to shxx on a bike. Re filtering: I rode like you when I lived in London. The only time I got caught was when I went on the near side of an elderly driver who didn't see me and knocked me off. I didn't do that again. I was reminded of it when I saw you go the near side of the truck!

    (2) It is always a good thing to hear what is going on around you and your engine.
    (3) Do sports ear buds not fit in your helmet, no pun intended-ish.
    (4) You do a good job and interesting.
    (5) Well done you.

    To be honest, I would't ride more than 5 minutes without listening to music. I find this very pleasant, especially on longer tours, and it doesn't distract me, but rather helps me stay focused.
    I ride with a Nolan helmet and have a relatively simple Sena system. That fits my needs.

    I remember when the Bike Shed opened. I lived down the street at the time (you rode past my old flat in the video) and excitedly went to the opening night to find nobody else really there. You had to buy a membership to drink there and I was a bit concerned it wasn’t going to take off!
    However within a few weeks it had become the hub of the London bike scene, I’d go most nights after work and met some great friends I still ride with today. I’d guess that the Shed birthed the interest in biking for a lot of people so thanks to Dutch and the gang!
    Sidenote, that traffic reminds me why I don’t miss living in London!

    Me and the Mrs got a intercom system which I now refer to as the "Nag Pack" 🤣. But, it is very helpful because you have two pairs of eyes instead of one. Very useful when approach junctions with acute angles. Tried listening to music on the move many years ago and it was a pain in the neck and if anything spoiled the riding experience.
