Damn, the beginning of this video is better than most marketing videos. Either Honda or SW-Motech should be thanking you. Like......!!!!!
You sir, are a gentleman. Thanks very much! SW-Motech still throw gear my way, so I guess they must be happy!
Amazing! Excellent video! Thank you very much showing us your touring setup. Love the CB1000R! Great bike 🙂
Great review. You do answer all the questions we didn't even ask and undoubtably an option for the nc500 tour next year. Nice one andy 🏴👍
Cheers mate! Good to know! So far the luggage setup has been my favourite to date (with the smaller tankbag, the big one is overkill for this bike).
Nice vid AMC, thanks! I bought some SW-Motech Blaze panniers when I had a Ducati...toured with them and loved 'em. I bought them after your review and they lived up to expectations. When I swapped to an S1000RR I bought the fittings so I can still use the panniers. Highly recommended!
Cheers James! Yeah the blaze bags were really solid. If they’d had the bars for the Honda, I’d have probably stayed with them. But kind of glad that they didn’t because these boxes are great! Glad you’re still loving yours mate.
Another great video Andy
Many thanks Philip!
Love the video game arm waves.
I try my best! 😉
Looking good Andy. Those panniers are very neat and well thought out. Like the fact you can lock the release lever. 👍👍
The Devil is in the Details! Cheers Scott!
Amazing combo of luggage... Nice work sw motech.. 👍
I totally agree! It's all a pleasure to use.
Nice video Bud great stuff from SW Motech, riding behind you recently the Panniers look pretty sturdy 👍
Cheers Gaz. Yeah, they’re impressive aren’t they. Extremely useable and so far very reliable.
SWMotech kit is great. Just got the Urban ABS cases for my wife’s CB500F and TRAX Topbox for my 1290S.
Real quality kit. Had some of their stuff before so their my first port of call for luggage etc.
Cracking set up on a great bike AMC😁👍
Looking forward to future vids and misadventures 🙈😁😆🏍😎
Thanks Mac! I totally agree. I've loved the SW Motech gear since I bought myself a City tankbag 6 years ago! Extremely useable kit. Happy trails!
Andy thanks again for the lovely videos. I always love them, and i hope to see more traveling videos in the furture. I know, i know everything cost, i am still saving money together for my first bike, so know the felling about that part.
Thanks TDV! Don’t worry mate, traveling videos are on the way! 5000km on the Bike already!
Been waiting for this vid! Now to find that second job so I can get my touring gear!
Haha! Yeah it’s quite a shopping list!
Great video lots of good information
Cheers Michael, Happy to help.
Bikes looking great
Many thanks William!
Mega review👍🏻
Glad you liked it, thanks!
You’re becoming the Inspector Gadget of Honda touring there Andy. I love the idea of that light weight luggage. When touring on my GS with all three vario panniers & generally my wife, I’ve certainly got a load on board (just in case my wife reads this, no I don’t mean you). The panniers alone weigh about 13 odd kegs! Before filling so your new kit seems a marvellous idea.
Enjoy your work matey, & love seeing footage of Germany.
Cheers👍🏍🇦🇺
Thanks Russell. I think these weigh 1.4kg per side, so QUITE a saving! I can only recommend them mate. I’ve been really enjoying using them so far. The Blaze bags were good, but these with the clip on/off and lockable abilities are a step up for sure.
I have my bike on order. I like some of the things you did here. Love the crash bars and tank bag.
seems fair! 😅 That's why I didn't want to try your Tuono mate!
I've just got myself a pro micro tank bag really impressed with the quality easily on a par with kriega gear though their backpacks are still King.
I totally agree Zed. Top quality, but Kriega bags are the bosses!
you are making me think that changing from a naked to adventure bike is pointless. now Im thinking of gettign the CB 650 R with a similar set up. DAMN YOU AMC
Haha! Sorry! I don’t see the point in compromising the other way either. Don’t want the plastic, the screen, the size or the weight! I just want a bike that i love to ride and enjoy looking at!
Hi Andy. I really do like the CB1000R, Honda did a great job blending an ultra modern bike with some subtle classic lines. It looks a fantatstic bike to be out on and i can imagine the buzz it gives 'you' the rider, so its great that these videos show how its possible to throw a few bits of kit at the Honda (and therefore any bike) and make it a perfectly suitable tourer. And when your 'tour' is over its a quick change and back to the nimble roadster. The enjoyment of tour videos includes 'Who', 'Where' and 'What bike'. There are already enough vloggers touring on "Gee ess's" that they run the risk of diluting our interest.
Thanks mate! I’ve always thought that it’s more about the bike you want to have when you get to the twisties. Rather than the compromise you make on way. I’d rather have a bit of windblast and need to stop more often on the way, and then have that nimble roadster when i get there! Touring so far on this bike has been a pleasure and i see no need to be trading it ‚up‘ to a BMW battleship any time soon!! 😎👍🏻
Nice vid... I was seriously contemplating the panniers, might have to get them.... and the inflatable seat sounds good.
Cheers Piers. I can't recommend them enough. After using them on 3 trips already, I would happily pay full price myself for them. The seat is a real nice comfort buffer. Not iron butt worthy, but a real help!
Good vid. I picked a Suzuki Katana for touring with Ventura sport rack and bag on the back. Using Kriega US 20 and US 10 with last choice to get a tank bag. Good review 👍 great to see options like this.
Cheers Paz. Happy trails.
I like most of the sw motech stuff you have Andy, easy and hassle free additions to the bike. Having been a massive Givi fan myself I have to say your tank bag is one hassle for sure, with mine it's one slide of a lock and its off. I'm definitely trying out their cushion seat, that's a needs must for sure. Awesome vids as ever though and can't wait to see you're next instalment venturing around. ride safe mate.
Cheers Chris. I half agree on the tankbag thing. I was really sad when I found out that they didn't do a tankring for my bike. But it wasn't enough to not get the bike though! I'm not overly enamoured with the strap tankbag, but I'm actually very pleasantly surprised with the magnetic one. The size is surprisingly useable and the magnets (it uses LOTS of small magnets, rather than a few big ones, so it adheres to the curves of the tank very well) have shown no signs of budging at any point. The cushion is a real godsend on the longer journeys! And cheaper than an Airhawk too!
AndyManCam i love the magnetic idea one, as you say for day to day I bet it’s perfect. I have the biggest givi tank bag and for anything over a night away and it’s perfect. I’m now thinking if the magnetic tank bag would fit behind my fuel cap while I’m sitting on my bike, time to go spending haha. Thanks for more ideas and needed accessories bud haha 😂
Entirely my pleasure! Send your bank manager my condolences! 😜
Great video. Thanks. Any marks or scratches on the tank from using the magnetic bag please? Great bike. 👍
Girls elastic hair ties work to tidy flapping straps....cheap and very effective come in black for discrete fitting
Great tip. Cheers. I’ve got a bunch of Velcro ties, but i always forget to pack them!
Bike looks awesome in touring mode. SW Motech have definitely thought of 99% of things (except shoulder straps lol).
Haha! I guess you can’t have it all!!
Thanks for all the great videos, I just watched your “can you tour on cb1000” and you mentioned briefly what tools you had under the seat, can you/ have you done a video on that? Be great to see, far too many options out there!
Thank you! Under the seat i have the kit that came with the bike and a Wera Toolcheck Plus Set: amzn.to/3tkk6Y6 best tiny toolset I’ve ever bought!
like the rag system, looks neat
It's VERY good! Best I've had so far.
Epic series of videos mate, much appreciated!! Going to have some brilliant viewing over the next hour or so. The Honda is looking the ducks nuts right now, can't wait to see you stretch her legs on tour soon!
Cheers Brett! Hope it kept you busy for a while mate! It's kept me busy for about 2 weeks!! 🤣 Tours videos will be incoming shortly! Nürburgring, Sauerland, Weserbergland, Schwarzwald, Vosges, Pfälzerwald and everything in between!
AndyManCam Kept me very busy bud! Really impressed with the SW Motech gear. Certainly going to be top priority when it comes to my next bike. They make a solid product for sure! Can’t wait for the tours, never thought I’d be impressed with a naked bike but your Honda has me considering something like it!!
She’s an impressive weapon of a bike mate! I’d like to get it on track and see if it really is that quick, or if it only feels like it ‚
AndyManCam Looking forward you that day when you do get to hit the track!
Nice demo, I've been thinking of getting some touring bags for my CB1000R. Maybe a stupid question but I'm looking at the angle between the passenger foot pegs and the panniers and wonder if you can take a passenger with you when the panniers are mounted? Cheers!
Thanks! I couldn’t honestly tell you. But I’ll try to remember to take a look next time I’m in the garage. 👍🏻
Ready for the off 👍top vid Andy 🙂
Cheers Craig! It’s mostly all working pretty well so far too!
Andy, I really like the saddlebags and the minimal rack system. I think it would look great on my Suzuki v-strom 650. However I already have a magnetic tank bag that I hate and don't trust. The tour tankbag is huge and would look silly, can you suggest a stap on version in a smallish size?
The Racks are great. Really happy with them. I have been very pleasantly surprised with this magnet tank bag. It has loads of small magnets, rather than a few big ones. Seems to fit to the tank really well and holds solid. Agreed that the large bag is a bit too big for anything less than a round the world trip! Not sure what the in between Option would be. Maybe check out the Legend gear range?
I can definitely vouch for fitting handguards. I fitted a pair of cheap generic Chinese specials to my naked bike, along with some Oxford Hotgrips, and they were an absolute godsend during in the winter. In my opinion, the best accessories you can fit to any bike when the temperature drops!
I totally agree. These guards were an absolute godsend over the winter months!
@@AndyManCam You need some heated grips as well. The Oxford grips are very good, they have nine levels, and they get really hot - too hot sometimes - perfect for Teutonic winter! There are also the Daytona heated grips, which have a built-in switch, and are a neater solution, but I don't know how good they are. I'd never be without heated grips and handguards these days!
Totally agree! If you check out the wider bars for CB1000R video, I actually fitted the Daytona heated grips. I had some problems and they were replaced by the distributor, but I'm still not 100% convinced about their longevity. I've got the Oxford grips on the shelf for when the Daytonas give up the ghost!
@@AndyManCam I've had my Oxford heated grips for a while now, and they've been great. They've been excellent over the winter in conjunction with the handguards, very toasty! I did originally wire them directly to the battery, but then I bought a INNOVV Power Hub2 distribution module, and was extremely happy when I noticed that the grips suddenly started to remember their previous state! I now don't have to remember to turn them on the next time I get on the bike, because they remember the last setting. There's some sort of electrickery going on, I think it's because of the ten second start up and shut down delay - back of the net!
That is a win!! Where did you put the control box? I think the grips are definitely the best, but i don’t want to clutter my clean handlebars!
AMC: This will turn your CB1000R into a touring machine...
Alan Turing: *TRIGGERED*
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUN!
Definitely looking ready for your next adventure Andy keep them coming r u doing the can fitting video 👍
Cheers Dale! I'm afraid not. It was so quick and easy and made such a minute difference to the sound that I didn't bother. Plus I don't think that I'm going to keep it. Seems it introduces some extra vibration from the engine at the leaner spots in the fuelling.
AndyManCam that’s unusual the vibes seen a few people with a SC on their bikes 🤔👍
AndyManCam check out this guy Andy th-cam.com/video/55CXB7In8Do/w-d-xo.html 👍
He Doesn’t really seem to talk about how it’s affected the running though, in either direction. The Repsol paint Scheme is prety cool though!
Helpful vid for those who owns it or are looking into buying it.
Any suggestions for storing a helmet when parked for a meal at restaurant?
The bike comes with a short steel cable. There are two hooks under the seat for using the cable to lock your helmet to the bike.
Nice cb very owesome👍👍👍😁
Cheers mate! I agree. She’s a looker 😍
hello, I'm wondering is a laptop "15" will fit easyly int the panniers ?
Can i mount the metal bars with an aftermarket plate holder? Because my plate holder is mounted to the same holes wich the bars are mounted.
I would have thought so. Worst case scenario, you might need slightly longer bolts and maybe a few washers as spacers.
Kin ell Andy ,, Kicking out more vids than Bruce, 😂
Haha! Don’t worry, i can’t keep it up!
Great drone filming Andy. Do you do your own drone work. If so clever AMC. Love your new machine. Awesome
Thanks very much! I do indeed do the drone work, although it's not all as good as the few seconds that I manage to pull out! At the end of this session I actually crashed it into the middle of the field! Cue me trudging up and down in the grass for an hour looking for the drone AND all the footage!!
Andy great vid mag tank bag how does it rate on the chances of scratching the tank ????
Thanks Neil. As long as you keep the bag and the tank free of grit and dirt, it's no problem. I've had more scratches from stonechips so far than from the bag. And I exclusively use the magnet bag now. So approved by me! 👍🏻
Hi Andy, with the larger tank bag can you see the instrament screen?
Hey Tony. Yes mate, no problem at all. Even expanded. I am a little longer than most at 6‘4“, but shouldn’t be a problem for anyone over 5ft!
Can you tell me if you can fit a full face helmet inside the side cases?
Not a chance. They’re too small for that.
Looks like you’ve been ram raiding through SWMotech’s warehouse. Well kitted out now. Spotted the pipe when is the video for that ? Or did I miss that.
Hopefully they won’t watch these videos and figure out where all their stuff ended up! 😜. No video for the Mivv and not sure if I’ll actually be keeping it as it seems to cause extra vibrations.
Loving the drone fly-bys Andy! :) Music suits the vid too... shame the end can didn't work out! :(
Cheers Matt. Trying a few things out to see if the mivv can come back on the Team. First up is another boosterplug 👍🏻
I have the same side bag racks but I've chosen soft bags. The zip is a very questionable solution on the side case. Not only it can be open in a second using a pen, but also if you drop the bike most probably the zip will be damaged and it may not close anymore. Soft bags for the same system are better i think, but they don't have an inside lock to prevent usage of the quick release mechanism.
Horses for courses i suppose. I like the lockable feature and needing a pen to get into my bags is one extra tool than is needed to get into the soft bags! 😜. TBH if i drop the bike, the zip on the panniers would be the last of my worries!
@@AndyManCam Haha, also true. At least in your case the bag itself will more likely stay. Regarding dropping - imagine you had stuff there and there is no place to put it anymore. Dropping the bike is not always that big of a deal if you have crash bars.
Good point. Although i almost always try to have straps and gaffer tape. So all possible repair situations catered for! 😂
Would a standard 13inch laptop be able to fit in the side case?
No, afraid they’re too small for that. An 11 incher is probably about as big as you’ll get in there. (That’s what she said).
What happens to the fz1 n ?and not seen the upgrade video any chance any one can drop me the link .
It has been sold on I'm afraid! It was time for newer and better things. 😜 Here's the reveal video: th-cam.com/video/16qXkcQDMbU/w-d-xo.html
Hello, nice video !
Did you try this configuration with somebody behind ?
I would like to know if it can fit with my girlfriend in the back.
I"m afraid that when she spraids her legs it would block with the luggage.
Unfortunately i don’t think it will really work. Unless she has tiny feet!
@@AndyManCam It's complicated to go in road trip with someone else if you don't have a GT motorcycle :D
Anyway Thank you very much for your answer and thanks for your review :)
@@lucassmi33 sadly yes. No problem at all! Cheers for watching!
Question, are the mounts for the panniers compatible with cb650r 2019? Hard to find information anywhere. Help much appreciated.
I would say probably Not, no. They have a completely different rear subframe and as such, different mounting points. But that’s no issue because SW-Motech have the specific mounts for your bike. Always check the manufacturers website first! sw-motech.com/en/bike/HONDA/CB650R/2019/RH02/products/luggage/side+cases/URBAN+ABS+side+cases/4052572058107.htm
@@AndyManCam thank you for the response, wasn't too sure if the mounting points were different. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
No worries! Happy luggaging!!
Wow, incomiiiiiing!
Take cover! Garage artillery!
Can the side bags hold a helmet?
I definetly prefer the old desing of the bigger tank bag with the outer rain cover. Not only you can put any water sensitive stuff in the outer side pockets but also you lose the convinience of using all the pratical internal side pockets and the cover net pocket since none of these are protected...
Each to their own i suppose. I much prefer the idea of having things already inside of a waterproof bag. I hate having to stop and put on the rain cover! Plus the waterproof bag method means that the rain cover isn’t taking up any space inside the tankbag. Also anything that needs to be protected from rain in the side pockets, i just also put into plastic bags.
@@AndyManCam agreed and as long as you like yours and I like mine, we should be pretty happy about it (but I'm stil right .... :)))))))))))
That's the beauty of it all! Each to his own and we all like our own thing!
I see a lot of complaints about the headlights on this bike being borderline dangerously underpowered, is it really that bad visibility at night with this thing?
Got a question, does the heat from the exhaust cause any problems with the side bags.
None at all. Even less so with the stock can as it’s at a shallower angle.
@@AndyManCam thanks for the reply good to know, great video bro keep up the great work.
No problem, my pleasure! Cheers!
damn man!did you mean to post all thesevideos today or were they scheduled? dontmind either way :)
Content carpet bombing!
What, no center stand?
What is the fuel consumption like? how much mpg do you get?
It’s not bad at all. I get about 5,5 - 6 litre/100km. 42mpg US, 51mpg imperial.
Panniers look good Andy but the tank bag system 👎🏻 we use Kriega and their tank harness system is brilliant looking forward to some good tour videos now your all set up matey 😄👍🏻
Cheers mate. Each to their own i suppose. I definitely prefer the magnets to straps. Way faster and easier with fueling too. Just lift the bag up, move it six inches to the side, plonk it down again. No need to balance it anywhere! Tour videos are most definitely on the way! 👍🏻
Nice setup Andy. Only one thing made me take pause, the outlet of your exhaust looks like it would blast hot gases onto your lovely new pannier. Having seen how good nylon is at dealing with heat, you might want to give that a dry run before heading off on one of your tours. Hopefully it's nothing. All the best! 👍
Cheers Christopher. Seems to be all good. The wide angle probably distorts the distance between, but there's plenty of clearance. Also the boxes are ABS hard plastic, so a tiny bit more resistant than nylon. That said, I've gone back to the stock can for vibratory reasons, and that has a much shallower angle, so double OK!
@@AndyManCam Good stuff! I thought you'd probably have it covered! 😁
Tbh it was a death or glory test as i just Loaded up and buggered off! 😂
@@AndyManCam given the difficulties in getting in to Europe this year, we went up to the Peak District and the Lake District and were due to loop back through the North Yorkshire Moors, but our lad had an accident off the bike in the Lakes and we had to do an A&E run and then cancel the rest of the trip to get back home. Basically he tripped in one of the car parks on the Honister Pass and faceplanted! Broken teeth and cuts! Hey ho! He's OK now. Picking up my new Z900 on Monday!! Keeping the Versys 1000 for pillion and touring duties!
Mate.. come to Leverkusen, nice twisties here.
I bet! Seems everywhere in germany has better twisties than where i live! 😂
AndyManCam mate, been here since the lockdown working.. only thing that makes it bearable is breaking in a new S1000RR!
That’ll fix anything!! 😍
So, to summarise:
Magnetic track bag €140
Strap tank bag €150
Panniers €410
Seat cushion €100
Footpegs €130
Handguards €110
Fly screen €130
Front axle bobbins €60
Down pipe protectors (4) €120
Crash bars €160
Hand guards €110
So I make that a grand total €1,620. And that's without future end cans, heated grips, led spotlights, etc, etc. Please, please buy a radiator guard!
Something you've definitely got to consider and budget for when buying a new(er) bike! 😬
I know! They’re essentials that i really ought to get! Maybe next payday!
I prefer Hepco & Becker. Their 22L Orbit cases are better than these SW-Motech one. Zips can fail and they leak anyway. And the bags don't half look flimsy. But you got your stuff free, so I don't blame you. Nice tank bag for those with metal tanks. 6 / 9 litres is perfect. If I get a bike with a metal tank, I'll get one.
Whatever works for you. Far too big heavy and clunky for me! I’m really happy with these ones. Bit of Goldilocks going on as they’re just the right size, rigidity, weight and function for what i want. If i‘d had to, I’d have probably bought these myself. The tankbag is indeed perfect. I really prefer it over the larger bag. Just big enough for everything that’s important. And if it didn’t fit, then it wasn’t important!
Andy, how would you say the performance of this bike rates in the real world? Sure, thrash a fireblade, superduke, or tuono to within an inch of their lives and they will be faster fullstop. But, in terms of accessible, useable power how do you rate the CB?
It’s perfect James. I find it’s got more than enough power and it feels like it pulls smoothly from all revs. It’s the most enjoyable bike to ride that I’ve ever owned. 👍🏻 Plus riding with folks on Tuonos and superdukes, I’ve never felt like I’m being left behind.
@@AndyManCam Good to hear that from an experienced biker. I ask as I have only been back into biking for 3 years now after 25 away. Started with a CB650FA for a year then got the CB1000R. Feels outrageous to me personally!
Oh it is pretty bonkers! Feels way faster than my FZ1 was, despite having roughly the same power and torque. But the power delivery is so much smoother and more useable. I think that just makes it very mild mannered if you need it, but crazy if you want to nail it! It is a naked Fireblade after all! 😎
@@AndyManCam Is the top speed limited do you know Andy?
@@jamesfawcett442 I've seen in several places that the top speed is apparently 230km/h. I can't confirm that as I've only been up to 210!
I was toying with the idea of publishing a pair of videos in the next day or so... "Yeah", I thought to myself; "haven't seen any other biking TH-camrs do that recently". Then AndyManCam shows up, publishes 500 videos at once at drops the mic 😂
Boom! My theory was that if i upload enough videos, they’ll be on EVERY page of TH-cam 😂
@@AndyManCam You'll be haunting my dreams tonight 👻
Wooooooo. Ooooooooo. Aaaa. Woooooo
Can someone still ride at the back?
Only if they have small feet!
How much weight have you managed to carry and at what speed ?
I’ve filled everything up (about 20-25kg) and done 160 km/h (100mph). The bike was solid.
@@AndyManCam nice, cant decide between these and the hepco and Becker
@radiocrash I have Hepco & Becker on my current bike. Also great gear. Considering these cases actually cracked when the bike toppled in Norway, I’d possibly say give the H&B a go.
@@AndyManCam cheers for the info 👍
When we going to get a video on the video equipment have you finally got it sorted??
I think that could well be a winter project! It’s close, but still not completely happy.
Tell me about it.. gopro nogo. Amazing footage irresistibly unpredictable. 🙄
I love that bike. I tried one but being a little over 6ft it was just too cramped. Gutted. S1000r a little more roomy so maybe that one instead. Sigh.
That surprises me! I found the S1000R far more cramped! I guess it’s more to do with how your 6 feet are apportioned!
@@AndyManCam Oh! We are equally surprised i think. 6'2" and "longly" legged here. Only today i had a quick spin on a 2014 Sr a friend has just bought and thought i might be able to live with this as a year round everything bike.
I’m 6‘4 and had achey knees after 30 minutes on the SR! I must have really short legs! 😂😂
@@AndyManCam Now you have done it! I wonder if i was having a crampy sort of day,like i get when i ride my lovely old vfr for more than an hour. I have until spring to sort this out,when old viffer will go. The seed of doubt has germinated. Cheers Andy.
Don’t let me sway you mate! Gotta go with what works for you! But definitely try both again. For as long as possible! I couldn’t possibly have known from my test ride, but the CB bars are way too narrow. Horrendous wrist pain after a weekend trip! That’ll be the next thing to get swapped!
How on earth would a passenger put their feet on the rear pegs with those panniers on
Not sure. Haven’t tried. But then i haven’t had a passenger on a motorbike since 2007, so it didn’t really cross my mind.
So they are ok for you , will you be pointing the issue out to your sponsor because some of us are pillion riders. They would certainly be returned by anyone that takes a pillion
I’ll try and get the Mrs on the back before I start giving SW grief over their designs! It honestly didn’t look all that infeasible when stood next to the bike. Watch this space.
Petrol stops will be epic
With the straps, it’s a bit faffy. But with the magnets, it’s easier than the tankring ever was. Just move it to the side, stick it back on the tank. Always had to balance the tank Ring one on the seat and it often fell off 🤦🏻♂️
nice setup. I just dont like tank bags. It is my least used bag for my touring needs.
Cheers. I'm torn with Tankbags lately. I LOVE having the easy access to all the essentials without having to get off of the bike, but I also hate covering up that beautiful tank. Plus sometimes the tankbag gets in the way of the more spirited, head down riding!
@@AndyManCam getting in the way of sprinted rides are my biggest grip with tanks bags.
Thanks be to dog for tail bags!
Straps a bit old school AndyMC
I agree. The strapped bag was not my favourite. I did enjoy the magnetic one more than expected though.
👍
How do tour on a naked bike?....no protection from the elements.
You load your bags on, get on the bike, and tour. Touring isn’t about protection from the elements. It’s about riding somewhere and seeing something. You can get protection from the elements in a car. That’s not why I ride a bike
No room for the deck chair and beach umbrella? Disappointed!! 😂
I know right?! Is it too much to ask?! Maybe if i‘d left the paddling pool out…
I'd be to afraid of that tank bag getting robbed
Well obviously you wouldn’t leave it on the bike then! 😂
@@AndyManCam so you pull up somewhere for a dump and you take that thing with you
Bingo. Sometimes the most obvious solutions are the best ones!
@@AndyManCam that's really dorky lol I'd rather take a backpack
BTW, it's pronounced like molly
Thanks 👍🏻
In my opinion wrong bike to tour with. I traded mine for a Africa Twin. Much more comfort...
If it works for you, great. This works for me.

Sponsored is a bit strong, but they did give me the gear FOC. No money changed hands though.
More than half of the video about that first bag
Four minutes for the first bag. 6 minutes for the second. From a 17 minute video. I think your calculator is broken mate. 🤷🏻♂️
@@AndyManCam I don't want to be rude or anything. Just a constructive feedback
@@ColinPopoviciu But it’s not very constructive if it’s completely wrong, Colin. The video is pretty evenly divided between all the the products in the Video.

"Not paid a single penny", but given a load of free gear with a video for each, in which you tell us how good they are.
You sound too much like an advert to be taken serioulsy.
Is it so hard to believe that the stuff could actually be good? I think you’ll also find that i only really raved about the panniers. The rest was more of a show and tell. I don’t have to use this stuff and trust me, if it didn’t work, i wouldn’t. In fact I’ve already taken the footpegs off and decided that i don’t like using the larger tank bag. But you make your own mind up.
Or how to ruin a great bike , what a pigs ear just get VENTURA kit
Throwovers!? Urg, NO thanks. The ones i had before were good, but these are way better.
Oh blimey you spammer
Pow! Videos all over your face!
Feels like a 17 minute long advert. Why would you make it if you’re not even being paid?
You’re right. In fact why do i bother at all when I’m not being paid?!
That it is. It’s even illegal to not disclose that the product was provided free of charge too.
