      Thanks Max, that's appreciated, good to get some positive feedback, especially from fellow Tubers, I think sometimes my vids might be a bit too slow & maybe boring for the fast pace of modern viewing that many consume, but I enjoy how things are coming together & its where I am on the learning curve at the moment , ever onwards ✊️ cheers

    My goodness, it’s hard for me to imagine the winter temperatures you mentioned. Of course in true American fashion I had to use Google to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
    I’m looking forward to the video of the Bronze Age burial site.

      Hey buddy thanks for watching, yeah it can get pretty harsh, average over the year's is about -15°C -20°C with 12 to 18 inches of snow & I've done my time for years with winter riding, Got about 100 gigs of those grave sites to edit, so will be a 2 part I think, gotta unpack it all & see,
      Hahaha yeah always happens, you think you're going the recommended speed, And then, D'oh! 😅

      Hahaha it is tempting, I'm trying to imagine getting the bike up 2 floors in the stairwell 😂, but a lot of benefits, it would be the cleanest bike on the road after 5 months of polishing..

      @bearded653 Cheers mate 👍 Appreciate that you took the time to watch & comment, Yeah the cold salt & grit is huge problem with not having a garage, but she'll be prepped & stored nicely away through the snow & ice soon, but will ride as much as I can until then
      Cheers bud, Ride safe 🤛🤜

    -36?? Jeeeeeeeez!! I really should have made some videos to keep in the cupboard as well for the long winter months that are just round the corner.
    You’re right about the salt… Evil stuff!!
    You’ve got some nice looking roads there mate… Lot better than the potholed crap I have to put up with!

      Yeah my eyeball water literally froze if I kept my eyes open a little to long, and eyelashes form ice on them from breath haha, but that was in Finland, here only -25°C at its coldest, Thanks for looking in mate & for the comment/Sub it's appreciated..

      The roads here for the most are amazing & traffic compared to England is minimal, but battling the temptation to crank it up while riding is horrible haha, the speeding laws here are pretty harsh..cheers

    Just wonderful that you can store the bike over winter in a warm place, she will be snug and warm awaiting for your arrival once the winter is over.
    Maybe you covered this already, may I ask where you purchased the handguards from, or the product name? Would love to mount some handguards on my Vulcan to protect my hands from cold winds, not sure what would fit, unless they are somewhat universal. Handguards seem a cheaper alternative for handgrip warmers (which might be an addition later on).
    P.S. passed my exam last Friday and my license arrived yesterday, waiting to finish with some papers and I will be able to ride my Vulcan S, can't wait!

      @BaldNbeardy Hey man that's awesome that you passed your test, I actually wrote the day of your test on my almanac, & was wondering. Well done! Must feel great! Got my full MC licence over 40 years ago, so have forgotten how it felt lol, Welcome to the open road club & the Vulcan owner's club haha🎉 let the modding begin!
      Ride safe mate & get some riding gear 🤛🤜
      The handguards are pretty universal, and the type I have are sold by multiple companies but the info I found is that XIAOYANS is the manufacturer, if that's of any help, if not,type 'Motorcycle Handguards Vulcan S' into Amazon or Ebay & you should find a selection to choose from..let me know how it goes 👍

    Ill probably be riding through winter but if it was at those temps I would probably devolve into a car peasant. I think even beans on toast would consent to wearing proper gloves. You are right about the biker nod game. I enjoy making them regardless of how they perform even though I don't know how many bikers Ill be meeting over winter.

      @SloboloboVFR You mad fool haha, mind you with 3 sets of waterproofs on & a heated vest underneath. You'll bounce nicely if you slide off & still be warm for a while, but let's hope that doesn't happen eh! Hope you make an episode 5 mate as I was sure you'd invented a YT winner with that game, so it surprises me that it didn't perform so well..Will we ever understand YT,s algo? 😅
