Another update video for you all to suffer through, this is a "proper" video, as in not a short. I talk about the good bits and bad bits of my current recovery situation... AND a new bike! :-D

It is an awesome motorcycle :-)

Here is hoping it is a dry one else I may end up on one of my ADV bikes for it! 😃
Fitted a Black Widow Exhausts de-cat link pipe to my Suzuki Bikes UK V-Strom 800RE.
Sounds good, and a decent weight reduction too! :-)

Finally some time off work...
Parts to fit, MOT's to get done and insurance to sort. Should probably look at booking in my Aprilia Tuareg 660 for it's 12,000 mile service too seeing as my bank balance is gonna get a bashing anyways!
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas to you all 🎅

I led a group trail ride for the Aprilis Tuareg 660 UK owners group around some of my local green lanes.
It was a cracking fun day, but very muddy and wet! 🤘😎👍

What an awesome fun soggy day. The water (Temporarily I hope) killed my phone, & had my GoPro complaining a bit....
But what doesn't drench us makes us stronger right? 😃
Can you fit a cruise control to a Suzuki V-Strom 800, GSX-8S and GSX-8R? Yes you can, and it's easy, and you can get a discount on the Veridian Cruise - cruise control kit too...

I've started posting the shortform vids up on YouTube from Motorcycle Live up at the NEC.
Not gonna share them all on here, you can check them out on YouTube if of interest, but here is my favourite bike from the videos I've shared today and possibly of the whole show 🙂👍

Hit a nice milestone on my YouTube channel today... 2,000,000 views. Small-fry for the big channels, but am chuffed with that! :-)
#Motovlog
Do you like to trail ride your #Motorcycle For me it is what keeps me sane through the winter months... although sane is relative to the company we keep! 😆

I thought the e-ticket option was free, might be wrong... the posted one was a cost option, but yeah... £28 is a bit steep compared to EICMA etc... still fun to go to though :-)

Been looking forward to this arriving a hot minute... its the Veridian Control cruise control kit for my Suzuki V-Strom 800.
I'll be showing how to install the kit & how well it works on my YouTube channel once I get my bike back from getting it remapped to suit the exhaust & air filter upgrades.
With #EICMA just happened and #MotorcycleLive currently happening, which is better value, and can you get all the way to EICMA in Milan for the same cost as going to Motorcycle Live up in Birmingham?
