Appreciate the comment! I really enjoy my daily commute. It is a beautiful ride with a little bit of everything. Always excited to see where folks are watching and commenting from.
Potholes are a real nuisance in the UK and a quick fix can be just as bad, just be careful people and keep your eyes open, I've finally had my XR Josh, just had it over a week and it is awesome (Motorsport colours) and the weather is starting to get better here slowly ....WooooHoooo ...👍👌😁
Nothing quite like when the weather starts to turn. Congrats on the bike! I am a fan of the color scheme you got! It looks like the weather is going to not play nice for my appointment so I might have to back it up...ugh.
Good tips for Spring riding! Potholes are my pet peeves on the road. Lol us riders are invisible creatures on the road! I hear you about becoming a part with your ride again. I need to put new rubbers on my wheels so I can go do some twisties. Take care and be safe out there!👇 Congrats on your channel growth!👍
Thanks for the comment. Always good to get reacquainted with our machines. Good look getting back out there. Looking forward to your ongoing adventures on your channel.
Appreciate the support mate. I've been busy for sure lately with a number of things. How are things on your side of the pond? Lockdowns still in effect?
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown Hey buddy, yeah still locked down until 12th April. I'm taking a few weeks to chill. But dealers keen to get back at it as soon as possible. Hoping the 12th April happens as planned.
Great tips man. Those patch jobs for the potholes can end up being slick as all get out too. Layering is also key, but some of us have no storage sooooooo we go out freezing and hope it warms up hahah
Hahaha...yeah...the storage issue is a real thing! I have far less on this bike than my last but the addition of a top case was a must for me because I like to have a quick place to stuff a few goodies. Cheers brother.
Hey there. I know it's completely out of topic but I was wondering if this bike burns any oil. I know their cars are notorious for that (I've had 530i that used a quarter per 1700 miles). None of the Japanese motorcycles that I've owned in the past (all Suzuki 😁) used a drop of oil. Also have you experienced that engine stalling ever again?
Happy to report no issues burning oil over the first 5,000 miles. I have not had an issue with the stalling but am still waiting for summer heat to see if my theory plays out. I have a not on file at my dealer regarding it so if it resurfaces I may drop it off and get me a loaner ;) but so far so good.
You live in a beautiful area, nice houses, nice roads, nice nature and not to crowded. Greetings from The Netherlands!

Some good tips there TBRD :-)
I appreciate that!
Sometimes a beautiful ride doesn’t have the best roads.
That is very much the truth.

Thanks for the tips, It’s looking like a nice riding day.👍
Man...I sometimes forget how much I enjoy decent weather after winter riding all season!
Great tips 👌👍 just remember the road built by cheapest contractor.
Yeah...this is the truth!
Thanks for the tips. Have good day.
Yes sir. Got a shoutout to your channel this week. Cheers brother.

Good tips! Can't wait to get back out there. Glad your bike parts are in! 👍🏍️
I am irritated with mother nature...supposed to be in the 30's and heavy rain on my appointment date...likely will need to reschedule.
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown 🥺 sorry to hear that... frustrating!
Nice video good tips 👍🤟
Appreciate the support and comment.

70 !! I'd be in a Tshirt 😂🤣
It takes me a few weeks to warm up from riding all winter, hahaha.
