- I was invited down to Southern Spain by Toro Adventure to ride one of their BMW R1250GS on some incredible roads, in the company of @thelikeablerider8800, @English-Motorcycle-Adventures and @TwoWheelsAndAPonytail.
We even took the BMW R1250GS off road!

For me Spain is def the best place to ride. As soon as I get off the ferry I just relax and REALLY enjoy! The roads, the weather and especially the people!! Been going for around 20 years now, all over Spain and I cannot wait to go back again!
The GS isn't bad too. As a short arse 5'4" I absolutely love my factory low version. 👍
I was fortunate enough to be able to retire to Northern Spain last year. After sorting the house and garden for the last few months . This year is all about exploring the roads in the mountains. So looking forward to enjoying the twisties. I may be setting up a bikers rest soon too.
Nice one, give me a shout if you do set one up, would love to try it out 👍
@@teapotone If you are ever near Silleda or on your way down to Portugal you can also pop in for a cuppa or stay a few days. Its amazing here !
Cheers Mike 👍👏
A proper ‘feel good’ video with a good bunch of people.
Cheers Bruce 😊
No bother, great to hear you enjoyed it 👍
Nice one buddy was a belter of a trip, and I fixed my fridge, so it's win win👍😜
Ha Ha happy days 👏👍
Go to add this to the bucket list… when funds allow! Looks like an awesome trip. So, the Cardo Bold… me and a few of my mates also have the same issue… at times it’s quite funny and at times it’s just plain annoying … will drop Cardo an email!
Happy Christmas to you and your family lets hope we have a great biking year. ride to live live to ride
Thanks Brian, aye absolutely, right back at you.
All the best to you and your family too👍
Great video Bruce.
Thanks Paul 👍
That's not off road "stick it up ya" 🤣🤣 Cracking video Bruce, sounded like you all had a great time.
I'm sure I recognise some of those roads. Our 3 days with Lyndon were amazing. The roads were fantastic. Don't let too many folk know about it...... Great video.
Ha Ha cheers Jerry 👍
Love those Spain rides 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Cracking looking place to ride TP1.👍👍👍
What a cracking place to play bikes, and you had a cracking bunch of chaps to enjoy it with 🙂
Altogether quite spiffing my good man 😉👍
@@teapotone jolly good show sir! 😀
It took me 10 minutes to feel in love with it. Great bike.
Would love to see TLR join the GS brigade👍
Ha Ha - then watch this space 😉👍
When you are down in Swansea you should pop down to llanelli they have a cafe in the town market called teapot.
Great video Bruce 👏🏻👏🏻
& a great few days riding the stunning Spanish mountain Roads 😉👍🏻🏍️💨😎LYL
Cheers Pete, was mega fun wasn’t it 👏👍
I've given up telling Cardo about it... just changed to another brand :). Nice trip though
Good timing, a bit of sun after working outdoors for the last week🥶
That looks like a great few days can’t wait for the next one big man 🎉🎉🏍👍
Thanks mate 👍
Beautiful, also the area where you've gone Off Road.
Superb bunch of blokes in this video!!! Brilliant upload 👍🏻👏🏼❤
Thanks bud 👍
Top job Bruce.
And yes! That's 'off road' .......
More than most GS owners?! 🤔🤣
Ha Ha thanks Grumps🤣👍
I must admit Bruce, I've always wondered why you used 2nd so much, watching all your vids 👍 .. the beauty of the boxer is the grunt .. 🤷🏼♂️ 😜
Had similar with my slim, not had an issue with my edge yet... I look at it as a surprise on the road, hey cardo radio off. Lol 😆 🤣
Brilliant, Only took a few mins for Shaun to fall under the GS spell 😂. Best bike in the world 🤩
100% 😉🤣👍
Having had three GSs the third gear advice for twisties was spot on, my playground is the Scottish Borders. Even better on my V2S Multistrada, better than a GS on back roads and just as comfortable, hell of a lot easier to move from bend to bend too, I prefer the suspension even without the telelever front end😉
Looks like a blast Bruce,
Quality vid Bruce. Looking forward to the Woodrow gig👌
Thanks Aeron, glad you enjoyed it.
Me too, see you there 👍
Happy New Year Bruce. I wish you all the best in 2023. Love from Cold Norway💥💥💖
Thanks very much bud, Happy New Year to you and your family too 👏👍
Great vid, while some of us were working at the NEC Motorcycle Show, you were off on a 'jolly' - well deserved wee break n some fab roads. Btw, 16c & heated grips go on, TMF's going soft in his old age..........
I was WORKING!!!!!!! 😉🤣👍
You know it was a good trip, when bits have to be edited out 😂👍🍻
🤣😉👍
Cracking video 👍👏👏 I got no interest in communication, music or sat nav when I'm riding 🤣🤣
what an amazing bike you have there. Was trying to listen to the exhaust but seemed almost the same as the standard one. Were you using the louder setting Mr Hyde. Maybe a video in the future on the twisties with just the exhaust sound pls
That was one of Toro Adventure’s GS’s so not was a standard can
Well, it is safe to say.... Spain and Portugal is high on my list of places to ride in the winter (here up north) There will probably be a time where I find myself rocking a GS or GSA again. What a great touring adventure bike it is. Love the way you get so crisp audio in this footage. The zoom works great I suppose? Cheers Bruce, and Happy New Year 🇳🇴
Another great video. Spain is awesome!
Cheers Rick 👍
Very jealous Bruce. Love that part of the world on the bike.
It’s mega isn’t it bud, Spain is just pure biking Nirvana 👍
I have exactly the same issues with my Packtalk Bold as do all my buddies. Radio comes on whilst you are having a brew and it then rings the last number again and again! I deliberately call my landline before I leave the hose (we don't have a handset!) just to stop it calling my Mrs! Great video - loved the off road sections
This is amazing, I’d NO idea so many people were having these issues! 🤦♂️
Right then, we need to put the pressure on Cardo to sort it then don’t we 👍
@@teapotone I've reported it to Cardo and explained that they must be aware of these issues
Nice one! Definitely need to head down there some day
I use a cheap Freedconn bluetooth helmet intercom system and randomly have the same issues with it dialing last call, turning the radio on and also playing music, so not just the Cardo issue!
I would be lying if I said I wasn't just a bit jealous of you riding bikes in sunny Spain in November, but then I'm jealous all the time as I currently don't have a BIKE at all! 😵💫😀 Looks brilliant! (Just noticed that TH-cam has changed everyone's name to their @ from their 'name' > this is from me, Alan Duncan)
Hello bud, aye seems TH-cam is trying to go all ‘social’ at the mo 🤷♂️
Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍
Fantastic video mate really enjoyed it 👍
Thanks bud 👍
mega this bruce love it, the chatter between bikes makes it.
Cheers Mark 👍
(from Leeeeeeedssss)
@@teapotone 😘😘
Im the same Bruce, always in 3rd and 4th on my GS. Find the corners way smoother.
That looked absolutely awesome, well jelous
Ha Ha, it WAS!
Thanks bud 👍
Spain has to be added to my to do list.
Oh cheesey crust, another man down to the GS zombie crew! Stop infecting them Bruce! 15 degrees and sun in November will convince anyone though!
🤣 It’s not me mate, the bike sells itself to those who ride it 🤷♂️😉
Hi, I’ve recently got back into biking and after an intensive refresher course, I nipped around the Scottish 500 back in Sept this year, loved it. Now looking for the bike I’ve always wanted, the BMW 1250 R S. the trouble is I don’t have that many friends at the same stage as I am re travelling, do you run events? If so how do I get in contact? Would love to take a trip(s) with you, just for the relaxed style and humour. Have loved your reviews and trips. ( all the best to Mrs Teapot)
Hi Angus,
The public meet-ups and rideouts are just kept for those in the Clan over on Patreon (Patreon.com/TeapotOne)
I just want to try and give back as much as I can there as effectively I couldn’t do this full time without their support.
I also run tours with Chickenstrips.co.Uk and am just working on the schedule for 2023.
They’re aimed at the more experienced rider to be honest as the pace is fairly progressive and we target technical, challenging roads.
You’re welcome along though if this sounds your cup of tea 👍
Hello from Florida . New sub loving the content .
Cheers Jethro, glad you enjoyed it bud, welcome to the channel 👍👏
Went to Toro and ended up with a GS1250hp and yes my cardo turns the bloody radio on all the time.
Mint.
Awesome video, keep up the great work!! TMF clearly has bad circulation and needs to get a grip!
🤣👍
I’ve no idea where Bruce is getting his “facts” from - I clearly said anything under 15 degrees and the grips go on….
😬🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
So Shaun has a new Tractor and a new Fridge on order then 🤣
🤣👍
I have the same issues with the packtalk slim. On my second unit now first replaced but they had it 4 weeks an I’ve not ridden much since the new one came so can’t comment if it’s any better.
Get a visor wiper great in the rain
I’ve been using the VisorCat for about 6yrs
No I Don't like it!! You look like you are having too much fun!! 😆 Happy New year! 👍
Ha Ha cheers Murt, same to you guys 👍
Which helmet do you wear in this video please? Enjoy your content 🎉
Thanks Kieran, it’s the Shoei Hornet ADV bud
Dead Jel min. Nice one chiel.
Cheers loon 👍
Which one of the Toro tour rides was this one ? Or a bespoke one for you and Shaun ?
Aye this was us just us out for a ride - Lyndon had the hotel booked but just made up the route each day
@@teapotone nice one- looking fwd to watching Shaun chop in his XR 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🏍👍
Great trip, Teepot what's the discount code for the cardo and which ones best 🤟🎄
Thanks Martine,
Use this link - cardosystems.rfrl.co/4vn54
Or code TEAPOTONE
The Edge is the flagship model 👍
Cardo, radio always comes on when I take my helmet off and music cuts out when doing a hard shoulder check and that's on two different helmets!
Have you told them that?
There’s obviously a firmware issue here as so many people seem to experience similar issues
@@teapotone I did email once but got no reply
Hmm, that’s not great 🤦♂️👍
Lovely way to spend winter mate, good stuff
Thanks Si, mate it was so good to get back on the Spanish mainland again!
Missed it 👍
Great video Bruce. Out of curiosity, are you riding your own bike and can I ask if the bike was secure on the ferry, if you did take it on the ferry? Just curious as I want to do a trip to Spain on my own bike and wanted to get an idea on how the ferry is.
Many thanks in advance.
No these are Toro Adventure’s bikes, but I’ve taken my own bike on many ferries, it’s very easy.
You just ride your bike on and the ferry staff tell you where to park, they then secure it and strap it down.
Very, very simple bud, absolutely nothing to worry about 👍
@@teapotone
Thanks for the quick reply Bruce. Greatly appreciated.
Awesome, but Scotland was better 😌
Is it possible to join for ride outs, I’m an Xr rider
you'll need to contact Toro direct at toroadventure.com
Can you edit in a view of the face of Twaap, the best kept secret in motorcycle vlogs.
🤣👍
great Video and yes my CARDO does all the above..... CARDO can be a twat at times
Where’s the ponytail 😂🤩
She kept a very low profile amongst us lot 🤷♂️🤣
@@teapotoneYes, but did you make her another GS convert...
😉
christ! £945 for a 2 day twisty tour and thats no flights and no food! hows that a stress buster!!
I guess you won’t find out 🤷♂️
No I'll spend a couple of hundred quid more and go for two weeks and see an awful lot more!
The constant GS adverts gets a bit tiring, like it's the only bike in the world can ride on light gravel 🤦🏽♂️ GS owners are worse than Apple or tesla owner
Other than that nice to see some sun for a change.
I ride a GS, am I supposed to buy a selection of bikes so you don’t get bored?
I’ve just left years of superbikes behind n got a gs rallye. What a bike. Try one lad
I agree with buck, nothing wrong with the GS but the constant "best bike in the world" gets old after awhile. I think the preaching and trying to convert the whole world to GSs is close to being a new religion.
FFS it’s a laugh?! 🤷♂️
If that causes you stress and concern, how the heck do you get through life? 🤦♂️
If you don’t like it or my sense of humour, just don’t watch
@@teapotone Sorry to hear you feel that way. I've been a subscriber before you left the law enforcement. I was delighted you landed on your feet afterwards.
I'll take your word your GS comments are done with a sense of humor but we hear that from many others so often it becomes a turnoff.
I knew it would not be something you would not want to hear and perhaps I should have found a more delicate way to say it. I'm sorry I offended it you . Good luck.
Regarding Cardo, my Freecom 4+ turns either the radio on or redials last number every time I say "F**k off" or "F**k me", to myself while riding.
🤣👏
