      Great choice Steve 👍 I do miss mine. Just a couple of things to watch out for mate. If you can't avoid going over pot holes, ie they are on the riding line be careful because the front suspension is very hard. It just pays to be mindful of that. I've got a Honda 750X DCT at the mo. My suspension on the front is the same. What I'm going to do is change the front springs. I've priced them up they are called progressive springs. I watched a TH-cam video about it. It will transform my bike Steve. I did buy a set of after market springs for the Forza they are the rear shocks. They are YSS. Honestly mate they transformed my Forza. At first they didn't and I thought, blimey these don't seem to make a difference! I then researched how to properly adjust them. Well my goodness me, it totally transformed the bike. I was able to throw the Forza into bends going over bumps wasn't such a pain. I was going to change the front springs as well but I got rid of the Forza for the 750X. I also had a gel insert put into my seat. I've still got the extension screen and the rear shocks I put on the back. I must put them up on eBay mate. You've got a great machine Steve enjoy it mate 👍

      @@bostinbrummie thanks for the advice! I bought the new Forza because I regretted selling my 2015 model and I concluded that the only replacement for a Forza was another Forza!

    Not sure if you've still got your forza as this vid is coming upto 18 months old now, I got one in September (2023) from sutton motorcycles in Bromsgrove and its not to bad, a couple of issues, but I'm liking it. Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

      Hiya mate, great to hear from you. To answer your question I haven't got my Forza now. I was going to get the Forza 750 but then I looked at the NC750 X DCT. I really wanted the Forza 750 but when I compared the Forza 750 to the NC 750 both were Auto's but there was a massive difference in the price. I think at the time The Forza 750 was about 4 Grand dearer than the NC 750 so I plumbed for the NC mate. I have been really poorly of late hence the lack of videos but I'm getting there. I am going to the NEC and I'll be videoing as much as I can so I'll put all the scooters I've filmed and some bikes as well on film.Many,many thanks for the comments I love responding to them. All the very best Baz 👍

      @@bostinbrummie get well soon, I watched a video of yours and you said you suffered with acid reflux, I suffer with it too, not good.
      I wanted the nc750 DCT too, unfortunately my budget wouldn't stretch that far, so I got the forza 350.
      I'll look forward to your next adventure, ATB, Rich 👍

    What a terribly sad place - lambs to the slaughter, whatever nationality. Yet we still dutifully march off to war at our masters bidding. Same shit in Ukraine - it depresses the hell out of me.

      Hi Douglas great as usual to hear from you mate. The only people as I see who make the wars are politicians! Be they dictators or ordinary politicians. Politicians manipulate the population into their way of thinking! Sad then and sad today Douglas. You see all those graves and think to yourself with a tear in your eye. WHY DON'T THEY LEARN!! The next video is a hard one for me mate. Watch this space. All the best Barry 👍

      @@bostinbrummie Agree with every word you said. Dunno why we allow these people to take power. i'm not a pacifist by any means - sometime you have to defend yourself or others, but for me, that's where it ends. Cheers for now mate.

      Great to hear from you Sagalout. I've been all over Europe on different bikes. From 1100cc bikes to this occasion with a twist and go. Love going to Europe. Watch the next video! It was the reason I went over to France. All the very best mate for the future Barry 👍

    Abit late to the party.its compulsory to wear gloves when riding a motorcycle in France also following your friend through stop signs is a no no as far as the gendarmes are concerned. Definitely a on the spot fine.

      @@Vanrides. Yes that makes sense Van. When I rode my scooter without any gloves it was the first time I'd done that in years.
