- Hi folks well last part of our weekend away glamping on the BMW R18 bagger , as it comes across in the video it's not all plain sailing on the back to the point where Faye couldn't wait to get off, although it's gotta be said a back rest would of probably made all the difference . Saying all that it was a great experience and loved every minute .
As always feel free to contact us

thanks for the quick replay........😀
You know guys, as a 59 year old biker myself, I have to take my hat off to anyone like Faye or my own girlfriend for riding pillion, because I don't know about you Shaun, but for the life of me I can't do it myself ! I have zero trust in someone elses riding skills with me perched on the back ! 😅
Haha I'm with u on that 1 I'm a proper crap pillion 🤣🤣🤣
A fellow riding friend, Canadian Army Veterans, just bought a R18 with bags and tour pack. Beautiful machine, we have not been out much here, Eastern Canada, yet it is still cool out.
I haven't road a bike in years but when I follow you it's like I am riding
Cheers Mark thanks for the comment
I can remember when there was absolutely no one at Ribblehead. Possibly one or two cars of the people climbing Whernside at the weekends and that was it. Now Ingleton and the surrounding areas is appalling. I'm glad we moved away before it all deteriorated into a touristy nightmare.
If you want a good route in that area try Thornton-in-Lonsdale, Martin Arms - used to be a decent Pub but haven't been for 20 years, to Dent through Kingsdale following Thornton Lane. Faye may find the area around Deepdale a little challenging...
Tbf that's the busiest I've seen it for ages , love it round Ingleton used to deliver to all the cafes and pubs round that area
I have the Transcontinental with the high comfort seat, it raises both you and the pillion up a few cm and changes the angle of your legs, it also has a much wider and softer pillion seat than the bagger, the wife and I test rode the bagger but bought the TC because we wanted the extra pillion comfort for touring. BTW we are both in our 60’s and absolutely love the R18 TC.
We are hoping to try the Transcontinental soon so will be intrigued to feel the difference mainly for Faye
Congratulations on 10k subscribers, well deserved...
Cheers Ash much appreciated 👍
definitely a back rest needed. makes a lot of difference! those module cabins look totally cool! chilly perhaps but cool (no pun intended) 🤣 all in all a terrific getaway!! 😎🏍
Heating throughout honestly had to open windows it gets that hot .... gonna be interesting to see what they will be like after 5yrs use
@@TinsonTour I just saw you in the beginning freezing your nostrils off! lol I'm glad it was warm after awhile. They look really cool!
great footage shuan great bike shame about that pillian seat
Yeah it's trial and error pal , I love the bike but defo not a long distance 2up bike
Another great riding adventure, I enjoy watching the two on your travels.Never know i might see you at the Ponderosa on the hoseshoe pass.Its only 9-10 miles away from where i live nr Wrexham. What an ending BMW to a Honda. that R18 its got the same size engine in my Toyota Avensis. that bike looks a beast of a machine. Take care of your selves look forward to your next video.
Yeah absolutely we are always up around the Ponderosa 👍🏍
Very few bikes properly cater for the pillion. Goldwing……err Goldwing. The TC aversion of this bike would be the one to go for, with the big top box etc. It does look awesome on the road though, seems massively confidence inspiring.
Yeah defo only an occasional pillion bike , great fun though
Roads looked fantastic, love the banter as always, some beast of a bike that , safe riding 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Was a cracking weekend 👍
That pub you passed but the cycle race I drank in that during COVID while doing the 3 peaks around there walking with the army
U know what been past there hundreds of times and never been in , any good ?
@@TinsonTour yes great pint and some of the lads ate.... Looked nice. They had a marquee in the carpark to the rear
Really enjoyable video of what was obviously an enjoyable weekend, good thing Faye keeps in shape or she'd be in bits after riding on that pillion, it was obviously designed to show form over function as they say..
Yeah absolutely the Transcontinental version is really the 2up bike but thought we'd give this a go just for the giggle
I went on the back of a HD Street 750. Never again. The pain! I literally had to crawl up the stairs when we got back, couldn’t walk. Needless to say the bike was gone after that!
Haha Faye was pretty much the same on this although it's gotta be said she had a really heavy rucksack on the way down
Smooth power
Absolutely effortless 👍
Congratulations on 10k subscribers guys. Thoroughly deserved 😊😊🤘🤘
Cheers pal 👍 🏍
When I was getting my GS1250 serviced they gave me the same bike to ride for around 3 hours I took it back after 1 hour my neck and lower back were killing me
Yeah horses for courses and all that ... I was the same on our old Africa Twin Adventure sports it used to batter my back
You really need to do the same sort of ride on a k1600.
Only ever rode a k1600 once and it was a mates bike so we mega careful 👍
I think a quick release backrest and rack like the type you can get for HD Street Glides would be essential when carrying pillion. I had one on my Switchback which only went on when the missus was on the back. Plus solo seat most of the time
Yeah tbf that's all it was missing , was a great riders bike though
Hi guys , heard you on Bruces bru time podcast , liked what I heard so I’ve subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed going through your previous videos and I am really looking forward to seeing more! Keep up the good work , ride safe 👍
Cheers Lee that's very much appreciated thanks for taking the time to comment 👍🏍
Love the channel Tins, I'm in Liverpool so recognised the Birkenhead shop. I'm itching to get started (at 59!) Having done my CBT But holding out for the Keeway X light as it's under £3000 and ABS!
Xlight is a great bike although nightmare to get spares for 👍
@@TinsonTour Oh dear! well that's a shame considering Wallasey and Millenium are both stockists of the bikes, youd think theyd have parts
@Andrew Barlow yeah our mate sells them for the same group ( GB moto ) just a supply issue same as a few chinese bike suppliers still a cracking bike though
Hey mate..I really, really don’t want to like that bike! But find myself weirdly attracted to it! Am I going mad! Great entertainment mate. Top job.👍🏻
Haha that's exactly what i said unfortunately with me think it's an age thing
@@TinsonTour same here..60 on Thursday! 🥳
You should have give Faye a turn up front and gone pillion Shaun 🙂
She couldn't see over the dash when sat in the riders seat 🤣🤣
Hi faye and shaun I really enjoy your videos very much 😊. Come on get your fingers out shaun waiting for the next videos. May I say if am feeling down in the dumps . I'll always put your video on and it cheers me up . Thank you from my heart ❤️ your both so funny. Am disabled but am hoping to to learn to ride a motorbike early next year
Am hoping to ride round Europe for charity .. And am hoping to document my journey to learn how to ride a motorbike 🏍 as a disabled learner . Do you think shaun could teach me Susan 😊 xx
Would be great to follow your journey it'd be no doubt inspiring for a lot of would be riders in your position although Shaun would be the worst teacher in the world as he has very little patience 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for your reply . I will keep in contact with my journey early next year me learning to ride on a bike. Hopefully if I pass . What about you and I going round Europe for charity next year , I don't live to far from you about 55 minutes away . 15 minutes away from Wrexham Susan xx
@@susanahmed5077 we came through Wrexham a few hours ago on our way back from camping
That's fantastic. Did you have a nice time Susan xx
I'm sorry but, I had a go on two different models of the R18 from Williams in Manchester, I just don't get it as a bike. I've also spoken to a number of other bikers and, we have all said the same thing, why? Anyway, a really entertaining vlog and, the glamping place looks really nice 👍.
Why be sorry ? ... a lot of people don't get on with the r18 others love it , horses for courses and all that makes the world go round
Yeah looks like bmw bagger needs a seat update. Ah well they cannot get everything right. Love that new tft.
Haha yeah defo not a pillion bike but suppose that's what the Transcontinental is for ... lot of dosh though 👍🏍
You need the one with the backrest
Yeah absolutely the transcontinental would of been much better as a 2up bike but myself i prefer the bagger
@Tins on Tour would have to be one each then.
Hiya tins, i enjoy the biker related video's that you both make and the one's that have followed Faye's progress from being a learner through passing her test's and trying out loads of different bikes (the Hoodlum was my favourite) until she finds her dream machine.
Shaun i like the look of the Alpinestars gloves that you wore in this video, can you please tell me what they are called?
I have tried to find that pair online but they make so many i gave up.
Thanks in advance & ride safe.
Hi there they are Alpinestar smax drystar gloves ... proper comfortable and funnily enough a brand new hoodlum arrived here yesterday 👍🏍
@@TinsonTour Thank you very much for your help : )
Wow what a coincidence, is it for Faye?
I used to own a Lexmoto Detroit which is a great cruiser bike just like the Hoodlum, you should check it out : )
@@baldvale5418 yeah same bike as the sinnis outlaw we had that a few weeks back
Hey that looks like a bargain shop😂 Got the essentials anyway😁
Haha it did the job 👍
Get a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited - then you will know luxury
Yeah sat on a few proper comfortable bikes although still only ever rode a 883 in the Harley range
Bud Light in the side cases? Did you hear about the boycott on Bud Light here in the states, for their marketing department opting to have a transvestite be the face of women for their brand? AB Bud LIght has lost 26% sales so far. - The R18 looks cool as heck, but the problem is that the massive jugs don’t give any leg room for those of us over 6’… I tried the R18 base and the R18TC but couldn’t find a comfortable position, ended up getting an Indian Challenger Dark Horse, I would definitely recommend it for power 122 hp torque 128 ft lbs, and has 3 riding modes. Would recommend trying one if they are available in the UK.
Haha only got bud light and peroni as they where on offer wouldn't of bothered if I'd known the back story , funnily enough we have an Indian dealer near us so may be worth a test ride 👍🍺🏍
@@TinsonTour - If they have the Indian Pursuit which is the Touring Pack version of the Challenger - Faye will LOVE you EVEN MORE than she does now after a few hours in the Saddle.
@@Bikerbug2020 haha thanks for the heads up 👍
you two look like you're still in your 20's. Oh and do you remember how many miles you got on a tank of fuel? I'm riding a R9T and I average about 300KM (it has no fuel gauge).
Yeah our old r9t didn't have a gauge , on the r18 it was looking like it'd be around the 230miles 400km give or take
hi folks .......please what was the name of these's holiday units or there email address.....and thank you for your vids.
Country Glamping in Bishop Auckland 👍🏍
You had some muscle between your legs there Shaun
Well didn't wanna brag
My wife is dispracsic…or however you spell it….she has zero balance, and yet she asked me when will she get to be pillion with me……easy answer…..er…..never…..sorry wife, my NC750XDCT is mine , mine mine……all mine….hehehe…
Remember when i was much younger i used to always remove the pillion pegs 👍
Call that a pillion seat, what a joke, and for that money you should at least get a proper backrest
U do on the Transcontinental this is a bagger it's meant to be like that although we did it 2up just for a giggle not ideal but still fun ... for me anyway
@@TinsonTour C'mon £27K FFS and you don't get a back rest, joke!!
@David Reed it's a bagger it's not meant to have a back rest though regardless of price
If ever a couple needed a gold wing it’s you.
When we tried 1 a few years back it was a revelation loved it
@@TinsonTour if I win the lottery this weekend I’ll buy you one!
