I've got a Gravity Blue R18B and absolutely love it; just added the Wunderlich sissy bar and back-rest and my wife really appreciates the comfort of having it. Cost of Wunderlich kit is a bit on the high side but the quality of finish and how well it fits makes it worthwhile. R18 is a big heavy bike but centre of gravity is low and the bike is really well balanced, plus you have the option of reverse gear to help you out of the odd sticky situation. Definitely a bike for reasonably experienced riders but if you approach it with respect rather than fear then it's a bike most riders will really enjoy. Thanks for another excellent video Tins 🙂
Own an R18, the B looks great. Had mine just about two years now, very happy with it. Probably similar age to you Shaun. Think you’ve got to reach that stage in life when you appreciate and value what big cruisers bring to road riding pleasure, things like comfort, road presence, effortlessness. The polar opposite of say …….a KTM1390 Superduke. In todays ever congested, heavily speed restricted camera mad world they make more and more sense, to me anyway.
You two are going down the custom Harley road. Which is the only way and you will not regret it i promise you. They are beautiful machines. As you both Toure you need to have one whith a good range. As Harley's aren't very good. (Only let down). But whith planning it can be achieved... nice calm way of Touring believe me... take both and stay safe x
You can get phone cases with velcro straps to wear on your wrist, runners use them, for those times when there is no way to clamp a bracket to handlebars. Always pretty useful for on your elecy MTBs as well I reckon. Not that I am any kind of expert on bicycles with my lardarse.
The size on them heads on the R 18 though, not seen one before though thats a fair lump of an engine. The storm were a pain but I am glad to have missed most of it otherwise I'd of most likely been blown about whilst on my way to work xD some cracking bikes there like
Haha great for resting your legs on , no in all honestly it's a cracking bike albeit a heavy bike but because the weights so low down u don't really notice it .
From a channel point of view I found the cruiser to be shocking. I loved my Harley but absolutely no one wanted to see it. It just didn’t get the views. I sold it and I’ve regretted it ever since. The noise, the event of riding it was just amazing. I need to get another one. Stupid I know but, it’s the best I’ve ever felt on a bike. Manchester Harley is reopening you should borrow one of them. I bet you will both be hooked.
Yeah agreed the views when we've done a Harley vid where terrible although only rode 2 but same with the BMW r18 but to me i much prefer the riding sensation from them ... eh ho that's TH-cam for you , is the Manchester Harley the 1 not far from old Trafford?
Hi Shaun + Faye, What can I say, but what a nice bike possibly a BMW take on a Harley Davidson , it looks the part in my opinion. Just made it back to base before storm Kathleen kicked off. I thought at the start of the video this was going to a Honda video the four wheel type doing car vids now. Catch you both soon Take care ride or drive safe
Not a fan of Harley’s even less when customised . I place them in the category of locomotives & tractors . I do like that Bagger BMW though , for some strange reason I can’t fathom at present ,although I reckon it would look better in black . 👍
Sorry don't like the bike too close for comfort in the seating position love my hubby but not that close and I call them pop😢 pops all the hells angels met there this week awesome turnout❤
I thought you tried one of these last year and Faye didn't like the seat.... Need to say I've not watched the vid yet so if you mention it in the vid ignore me
I might just add to my comment, that i've been on one, that's how I know, it's defo not for me. Can't imaging Faye lifting it off its sidestand as it's very heavy to stand it upright. Sorry F, don't wanna imply you're weak, just stating that this bugger IS heavy.

Absolutely agree 100% and for me it's also more of an occasion riding the R18 👍🏍

Yeah the cruiser type bike is really starting to grow on us , just feels more of an occasion riding them
@@TinsonTour you won't regret a single ride.
Great vid guys, I've actually just bought one of BOBHEADS lids. Yet to try it out, thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟
Cheers pal thanks so much for commenting
@@TinsonTour you're welcome 🤙

We've got loads of brackets that would fit on it just my dumb arse just left them at home 🤣
Excellent bike!! Overall awesome!! 🍮👍

Where did you hear Manchester Harley was reopening. Harley UK was supposed to be keeping customers updated but I've not had any emails from them😢
@@TinsonTour yes that’s the one. Only down the road from BMW.
@@mikejacks1939 it’s been bought by a new company. Apparently it’s opens on Tuesday 16th. 🥳. I can’t wait to get down there again.
@@GillyBikes have to meet for a brew next time pal
Gee that’s a beast. I would be scared to attempt a ride on that.
Stick with my Rebel n Meteor for now lol.
Like those 2 places you visited. Way cool.😊
U know what ud be surprised how easy it is to ride its really well balanced

Haha cheers pal , good job we didn't go on the bikes the weather was horrendous on the way home from bmw
Can't believe you were both in my home town, had I known I would have come and said hi.
Awww that would of been great 👍
@@TinsonTour next time your in Rawtenstall let me know please x
Hopefully over there in a few weeks
That was a great day out.
Absolutely loved it

Yeah we took the black 1 out last year and gotta admit at the moment it's my fave bike
Great video. Looks like a great bike.
Cheers 👍🏍
Sorry don't like the bike too close for comfort in the seating position love my hubby but not that close and I call them pop😢 pops all the hells angels met there this week awesome turnout❤
There's loads of space on it just snuggled up holding on while waving the selfie stick about
Not my cup of tea but thing of beauty.cant imagine pushing that round the garage
The reverse gear helps but in all honesty sat on the bike it's easier to push than our gs mainly because of the low seat
I thought you tried one of these last year and Faye didn't like the seat.... Need to say I've not watched the vid yet so if you mention it in the vid ignore me
Haha we did Faye was just taking 1 for the team as she knows i love em 🤣
I know you tried the Goldwing a few years back, how about testing the bagger version, Simon might be able to help you with that
FAY WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO
GIVE SHAUN A TAKY ?
Haha it will happen 1 day 😄
I might just add to my comment, that i've been on one, that's how I know, it's defo not for me. Can't imaging Faye lifting it off its sidestand as it's very heavy to stand it upright. Sorry F, don't wanna imply you're weak, just stating that this bugger IS heavy.
Ohh she can lift it with a good old yank she did it on the black 1 we took glamping
@@TinsonTourFaye can lift it whith a good yank.😳😳😳 really shune.😂😂😂 steady on lad!!!!.
Just saying
