that was some stunning views! and look like you're settling in to your new bike nicely. I'm picking my 125 on the 1st Nov, and looking forward to also getting out and exploring, it was a fantastic video!
@@nigelsrideyet to explore the devon moors and southern england. The cotswolds is a beautiful area to live. Lovely roads and views right on your doorstep. I enjoy riding around Wales. Would like to explore Scotland more...but thats for a future vlog 😊
Really enjoyed watching your progress from beginner to badass. I also started out on the Zontes 125 and moved up to a Tracer 7GT. Ordered my new bike today so looking forward to that. I Keep looking out for you both when I'm around the Studley area on the weekends.
Thanks for the continued support, greatly appreciated. Are you swapping your tracer 7gt, or just expanding the garage? What's the new bike...intrigued! Hopefully see you out on the road soon. 😊👍
@@Beginner2BadassBiker Tracer will go up for sale, just not enough room in the garage. Yamaha MT10 in blue. hopefully see you out and about in the near future.
@@martinhughes9769 I do love Wales. You have some amazing roads and stunning scenery. The B2B intro has glimpses of Elan Valley and other part of Wales that I rode on the 125cc. Which is your favourite road/area to ride in Wales?
@Beginner2BadassBike so many Elan Valley is lovely but there's several mountain roads just out side Aberystwyth really wild single track mountainroads, , there's a mountain road where top gear used to film just out side Brynamman south Wales really barren, and a Castle on top of a large outcrop of stone not far from Llandeilo its called Carreg Cennen. carmarthen area and Pembrokeshire St David's there's a small harbor it's stunning called Porthclais , also look up a place called the Blue lagoon, Solva, Marloes it's a beautiful beach with rocky outcrops jutting up like little Swiss alps, , you can find all these around West Wales and many more, up north look at any of the big reservoirs, Llyn Brianne its beautiful, Bala lake , horse shoe pass and Llangollen Town is brilliant 😀 👍
Definitely now a Badass Biker. How are you liking the Tracer? Looked like you handled that dodgy junction fine to me, always helpful if someone like that car driver can let you know when it's clear. Ride safe both of you and hope to see more vods🥰
You did so well riding that road in the dark!! I have just got and would recommend to you some auxiliary lights? They light up the road better! Especially twisting roads! Good video just subscribed 👍p.s at junction fine? Just move slowly forward to you can see! Better to be in road and see! Then moving out blind 👍
Thank you. Will definitely take a look at auxiliary lights. Compared to my 125cc the tracer actually lights up the road alot better. Thanks for subscribing and the tips. Greatly appreciated. Are you getting out on your bike much as its getting colder and wetter?
I've got the same BMW GS with the weird oil filler cap. FYI, if you have the standard toolkit under the seat, you can use the handle of the screwdriver to open it, you just have to slide the shaft out of the screwdrver and use the base of the handle. It's shaped to fit nicely into the 3-legged hole in the cap.
Thank you for that helpful advice. Unfortunately Bo doesn't have the toolkit, but hopefully this information will help others. Are you enjoying your BMW GS?
Yeah, sadly, I didn't have the tool kit. I have since purchased the tool from Ebay for a few quid. I have in my tank bad so it's on hand moving forward. Hopefully it doesn't need topping up anytime soon. ( especially as I've just had the 12000 mile service. ) love the bike. You going to ABR ?
Fab vlog, enjoyed watching your adventure, have you tried Karen's Korner a bit on your doorstep but do a lovely breakfast before heading out somewhere, all the best to you both.
Glad you enjoyed the vlog. We haven't tried Karen's Korner yet. But will put it on the 'to go to' list 👍 Is it a popular bikers meeting place? What bike do you ride?
The 900. A BIG bike. I chickened out when i bought my big bike back in 2015. Got the mt 07. Passed my test in June 2015. Then rode the 700 down to Corfu in January 2016. Came back via Pompeii. Fantastic!!
@@Beginner2BadassBiker no. I sold it back to the dealership as I had no way to fit it in the van with my dogs and pushbikes and what was left of my life, when I moved to Corfu in the September of 2016. I do regret it, at times. But a 700 is too much bike for Corfu. It's hilly and twisty, and where there aren't potholes there's loose gravel or olive pips. I'll get back to the UK one day. But it's looking a bit mental there now. X
Hi guys, the only tip I can give you when pulling out of an awkward junction is, and if available, try to look at reflections in shop windows or even in parked car windows for traffic you're not able to see unless creeping forward. Cool vid btw, thanks for sharing, and see you on your next adventure 👊 🤙 🤘
Hi great vid great part of the country glad your enjoying your new bike don't worry we all feel the eyes on us when we pull into car parks you get used to it over time you guys ride safe

Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes loving the new bike. Which 125cc are you getting? It is great fun getting out and exploring on 2 wheels. Ride safe 😊
@Beginner2BadassBiker I'll be getting a keeway rkv125c, a cruiser type, it feels very comfortable
Good on ya, you have come on so far from beginner to where you are now. Hope you enjoyed your fab trip 👍
Thanks. Loving every second, the highs, lows and everything inbetween. Where is your favourite place to ride?
Oh I love the moors in Devon and the Cotswolds where I live. Wales is right up there as well

@@Beginner2BadassBiker I have no idea why I said MT10, wishful thinking maybe. It's the MT09 I am having.
lovely video scenery in places reminds of our countryside in 🏴.

@@Boden2024 coincidentally, mine's in for the 12,000 mile service tomorrow. Not thought about ABR, looks good though.
@MisterFishfinger my 12000 mile service was done at Cheltenham BMW and cost just over £500 as its a major service.

Glad you liked it. Nice to know I am not alone and it gets easier with time. Thanks for the comment :-)
Regarding junctions. No point stopping in a place you can't see. Edge out to see. You were 100% on your junction approach.
Thank you for the comment. Good to know that I did it correctly. I appreciate the input/advice/encouragement from the comments. More vlogs coming soon!
I just did most of this yesterday great roads, ride safe
They are awesome roads. Hope you had a lovely time and weather was kind. What bike are you riding?
Your intro song is so cute! Were you involved in the production ?
@@James-od4cz glad you like the intro song, though I can't take all the credit my best friend created it on a clever app. What bike do you ride?
