Wait? That was all planned?! 😆

As an aside I know it's most likely suspension, just wondering has anyone else had this issue. Tyre pressure checked regularly and always correct

Thats 15000 miles on Stromboli i think. Ill make an update video on a few bits soon!

Any opinion on this version vs the previous model which was changed after 2003. ?

Lawyers are why there's nothing like the IOMTT in America.

I guess hill climb events are kind of time trials? Have fun on your trackday next week.

I live in New york, my kids live in South Carolina, so doing the old smokey Blue ridge ride would be ideal, and it is on my bucket list......

Yes. The Cali bike buy would be fan. Buy a scooter.

Isle of Man would be at the top of my list. I would also like to fly over ot the states and purchase an older Moto Guzzi (they are pretty cheap over there). Ride it all ove the US and then ship it home to Australia.

I would love to get back to the smokies, there is so much incredible riding to be done out there. I think the ride of a lifetime would be across the Himalayas in India.

You're right in that sometimes you're better off setting the date and sticking to it. I am off to Donegal for a few days next week.

A lot of ideas but the heat depresses me.🤣 May be I should plan for the rainy season and only ride when it is actually raining! Perhaps watching videos on UA-cam intimidates people as they see all the luggage and the packing, and the things going wrong. All you need is a bike, a credit card and somewhere to go. A good video again. 👍 (An aside... Are you still using Instagram ?)

So far, my "trips" have been one day ventures, so no overnight planning involved. There's plenty of interest within range for that. Favourite so far is Lincs to Whitby along the coast roads, then return inland. A good chance to check out the vampires, buy some jet for my wife (a must!!!) and see where my mum trained on anti aircraft guns during the war (gun emplacement was next to the Abbey). Wish trip is Scotland west coast, my dad was born in Glasgow (the Gorbals) so loads to revisit (by bike for once). Cheers, Andy.

I noticed on mine that on the swing arm it specifically states to check the chain tension while it's on the side stand.

My grips are 126mm on my bike...do i buy 120mm grips or 130mm grips..thank you

Why can't you loosen the axle from the right side and just leave the cotter pin side alone?

Ah Mr Kong how are you I said a quick hello to you in mondello a while back interesting topic I'm about to pop my cherry on a trip to Spain for the Moto GP and I'm excited and stressed at the same time maybe because I'm on my own I find myself looking for places with secure parking have to keep the SD safe 👍👍👍👍

How to plan a trip, GorillaBiker style: Set dates and main locations/goals. Invite friends who plan things. Wait for their anxiety to kick in and they'll plan the trip for you. 😆

do you have a mod list video?

I would love time trials, because I’m not that competitive, and have no illusions about my skill level. Something where I could just enjoy it and try to improve on my own times and learn in a more casual environment. That would be really fun. I’ve seen people racing minibikes like a Grom or TNT 135 on go kart tracks, and that looks like a riot. I’d also like to try riding on a dirt flat track, just to see if I could get the hang of it. Basically anything that didn’t require a huge financial investment and uses the structure and competition to make it more meaningful, without going overboard to where it’s ruined by people taking it way too seriously.

I would imagine getting slapped by Gorilla biker would hurt, really, really bad. Is it hard to watch Rugby from the US? I suppose probably not with the internet. I find those interesting at this point in my life. This ramble got me thinking about your GSXR. Do you iRace? Tires and brake pads was pretty much my racing budget for the few years I did it. The internet is silly, keep doing what you want to do. OC: Have you ever thought about one of those autocrosses but for bikes? It's at least something I haven't done but looks like fun.

A good way to clean the pistons and housings is to use 0000grade steel wool also good on surface rustbon chrome.

🤔I thought that was what stickers were for, to cover the rusty spots and dings in the paintwork. That is how I always used them 🤣. People with comments to make about larger riders should address them to Trevor Nation, Terry Rymer, or currently Loris Baz. The Dakar Rally is my fantasy. When I was young I used to go to Silverstone regularly with my Dad to Various club events, Bentley Drivers, Jaguar Drivers, Veteran and Vintage meetings which all featured handicapped races. They were always entertaining. I don't know if such things still exist. I look forward to hearing, seeing reports from your next track day. Thank you. 👍

Good vid! I like the idea of some form of time trials. Something that gives you a measure of your improvement (hopefully 😂). I did some karting (only a few times, indoor and outdoor) and absolutely loved it. My size/weight was a disadvantage (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!) but I was still competitive and it was enormous fun. I loved the accuracy, the slightest error on a corner and watch the guy in front leaving you....... I'd like to at least do a bike track day one day. Cheers, Andy.

We need time trials and more hill climbs

Hi Great videos What is your engine temp when you riding like in this video? And motorway? (How many bars) You’re toll so do you have any lowering kit for pegs or you good as it is? Cheers mate

I agree “Don’t put stickers on your paint” 🫣

Totally agree with you, why the hell would you put a sticker on paint??? It’s ok to put on glass…but not paint!!

It'd be very cool to also see the classes for this theoretical race series based off power to weight(including rider) and bike type or something. The Z and me would be competitive then maybe 😂😂😂

Pity about those dodgy cams.

Gotta buy a house in the country, with a few acres and freedom.

Hang a wooden board on your garage wall, you'll save loads of time looking for the correct size spanners, screwdrivers etc and keep your garage neat and tidy. I only keep large or infrequently used tools in a toolbox.

Good for turning but braking with that tyre is waste of meters ...

The question is can you open the vent with your tongue?

This 1.76m. -short for a Dutchman- old man concurs with your opinion on the looks. I think my '85 V45 Magna suits me just fine. And my BMW F800ST too. So screw someone else's opinion.. Like they say; a$$□○£3s and opinions: everyone has one and they all stink. ✌️

4:42 The way you said "long time" 😂😂😂

I like looking up the SHARP ratings, but it can be a little confusing, as it uses the European model names for the helmets, which often don't match what they're marketed as here in North America. I was going to make a Michael Dunlop comment about the visor, but you were on to it already! I was watching that live and was aghast. Where else but at the TT would a guy pull over, fix his helmet, then complete the race?! As big of a shock as that was, he got the win today on the Paton S1-R in the Supertwins class. I think that bike is so cool, it was amazing to see him make history on it. I hope he knows what a massive inspiration he is. He's on the same level of Wayne Gretzky, George Best, and Michael Jordan to me. A standard above the rest, and a true legend.

Good review. I have a basic MT "flip up" (I wear glasses) but would like a Shoei, so HJC seems a good compromise. My purchase was based on fit and comfort (there's a Sportbikeshop about an hours drive away, so spent a good 45mins wearing the helmet in store while buying the rest of my gear). Cheers, Andy.

If it goes up in "points" it would be a pro not a con.

Thanks again to Grant! See, the Internet works sometimes.

A squishy head would explain a lot of things you know 🤣 I love my Shoei Neotec 2. so comfortable. I'm curious about the Schuberth but I think my head is the wrong shape maybe. I admittedly don't have a lot of experience in many other brands. I just got what was comfy and had the features I needed.

Mine is the Shoei X Spirirt 3. Love my helmet. Bought a transition lens for it and now that is the benchmark . If the Helmet is not available with a transition lens, I wont buy it. I had a Nolan N100 which I really liked as well. Although it was a touch heavy.

Can you recommend a site to buy parts for older bikes from? shipping to Ireland?

There’s is a vent behind the chin bar that closes the silver vents

I used to be very fastidious about buying helmets. I used to use Boeri, and later FM (Fimez). Both brands saved my life. My favourite was my FM Giancarlo Falappa replica. Here life is cheap, and accidents are the norm. You can go to a street vender and buy a cheap helmet and try it for fit. I was stuck the other day without a lid for an unexpected pillion so we stopped at the nearest second hand helmet seller and got a perfectly good helmet for $6.00. If you want a pukka lid you normally have to buy online. It is very difficult to find any size other than Large or Extra Large as people like to ride with their cap, or hat still on their head, and their mobile phone stuffed up inside their helmet so they can carry on talking as they ride. My current lid is a motorcross style made by KYT. It is the same colours as my VIAR and came free with the bike. That is a normal practice here. My KYT certainly would not get an ACU gold sticker and only carries the local DOT style approval. So brand is no guarantee. KYT build helmets here that are only specific to the Asian market and I believe other manufacturers do the same. So one might say that here people don't pay the money and still take a chance. A good video review. 👍

can you imagine being that guy who changed michael dunlops visor 😮

Good video,I have 2 hjc helmets one is the cs-15 I used to wear when I was working at the steelworks it's a lower priced cs-15,comfy and well made,the other is the rpha 70 a mid price helmet with a drop down internal tinted visor I wear while touring and day trips, excellent value for money and super comfy,the only negatives I have for both helmets is the forehead liner material has a piped type stitching that after taking off helmet leaves a horizontal red axe type wound to one's noggin, cheers from south Australia.

Your fine head deserves a fine wrapper. I like the look of this helmet. I’d buy one too if I needed one.

In before someone says "actually its 23.06" guf faw I swear everyone of their lids is carbon 300 dollars, I laugh at you poor peasants, I paid 720 euro for my anti venom and my deadpool, I cry everytime I put it on but look cool. people shouldn't shill helmets.....here's looking at you chase2dub. The 2 rolly vents on top tend to stick. You know theres a vent on the inside of the chin to? that might be the cause of air flow Dunlop definetly coulda done with that. I'd say he was causing murder in the paddock after. it cost him about 2 minutes, he had such a good lead. The rachet is shit, it's either up, a jar, closed or locked. tis wank Great review
