Yes about the cameras hanging around.. I have to look for all these places to put cameras 🎥 but not easy and leaving the camera on the side of the road always worries me when I do it !! Bloody expensive Things tho it does make a difference and well done on yours 😊😊😊 Graat stuff
So, Mrs Little is has her eye on your videos, a? Haha .. The nice thing about having two or more so different bikes is the change from one to another is so huge. Different places, different company, different feel .. It's like heaving a new bike every other week or two. I am feeling that with my 125 and 250, can't imagine how is with 10 times bigger/smaller engine.
And I would walk 500 miles... Nice to see you out on the Triumph again, Rob. After so long on the YB100, I'm not at all surprised that your muscle memory is changing gear in the wrong direction on the T100. It took me a while last year to get used to the rotary gearbox on the Skygo Earl 150, which was down N-1-2-3-4-5-N ad infinitum and hitting neutral then 1st at speed isn't recommended. Could also be shifted upwards, too, so I had always to remember which gear I was in, as the gear indicator wasn't reliable, especially about showing 5th. Swapping across to the VL250LC, with its 1 down, 4 up arrangement still elicits the occasional wrong cog as my brain struggles to keep up. 🤫
@@RobLittleuk The Skygo 'box was certainly different! First 'bike I ever rode had the change lever on the handlebar... 2nd one was on the engine's r/h side, 3rd one was on the l/h side and doubled as the kick-starter. It's done to confuse us...
@@RobLittleuk Yes, I remember those. I too had a Vespa, a 125, back in 1962/3. Prior to that there was a Raleigh RM1 moped, which had neither gears nor clutch, so it stalled at every set of lights or intersection. It weighed 84 lbs, so pedalling was quite an effort to get it started.
As long as you didnt try to put 2 Stroke oil in The Triumph ! Honda put their Horn Button In a Different Place to other Bikes , so I end up Tooting My Horn When I Turn Left or Right Sometimes..after Being on the Kawasaki a Few Days
Nice 1 Rob. I admire your dedication with all the various camera shots for all your fans👍
Yes I deliberately went OTT 😆

…but you don’t ride 10x faster on the triumph of course. It’s comfortable, feels a lot heavier and is, but still love the YB 😊
I bet it can be quite tricky setting up the cameras for various shots and time consuming too , Triumph sounds nice 👍
Thanks J, it is actually!! It’s not something I intend to keep doing. Watching you on day 1 of of the tour - what a brilliant day!!
I bet you enjoyed riding on the Triumph again. Much nicer sound from the exhaust to the YB.
Yes indeed Mike!
That was a few weeks ago Mike - been out again since!
I do worry for your hands Rob!
Only when filming !! What you don't see is me turning round, hopping on and off the bike, etc.

Crikey that skygo gearbox sounds scary! It is a nuisance though having bikes with different gear sequences - embarrassing!

@@chrisweeks6973 Well I rode lambrettas and vespas with left hand clutch and gear change
