Tremendous, what a great video, well done both of you for surfing down that road to find the sun. Very nice guitar work, I am sure Steve Gunn will be looking to sign you up. I think you deserve a Kerouac quote ... 'There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.' Cheers both of you.

No cable changes needed .. as in all standard fit .

Thanks so much . Appreciate that , so close with the tuning , it’s actually DADDAD , David Crosby used it a bunch , but that is one of my songs (or a little piece of it ) the guitar is a Martin backpacker , I picked it up used , think I paid £150 . Knew they are 350 I think , but I hate new guitars and that seemed too much money to tie to the back of the bike .

@@LeanIntoTheWind Brilliant! Might have to keep an eye out for something like that. Would be great to take that away on the bike. David Crosby eh? I need to give him a listen.

Long haul riding. Did it just ones. And for diverend reasons turned out to be not the thing for me. Little over 30 years ago i went for a job interview to hamburg,so i thought. I rode a yamaha sr 500 . It hade a worn out seat. The headlight had the habbit of pulling to the left when ever it felt like. The damn thing had a mind of its own. I left at 5 in the moring and as soon as i crossed the german border the bike started to run bad and gussling feul. All my motorcycles and mopeds sins run bad as soon as i cros the german border. The first 50 km in germany was riding in heavy fog. And my headlight said, fuck you and pulled to the left. So with my left hand pushing the headlight straight i did 50km in the most thick fog i ever ridden in. That was a very scary 50 km. Around noon it was a scourching 30 + celcius. Feul went from normaly 1:19 to 1:14. It was like riding a tractor. I reached hamburg and turned out we had to ride a bit further into the former DDR. The job interview was a bust. So nothing left to do than go back home. The hottest part of the day it got 36 celcius. No gust of wind to cool of a bit other than the between 100 and 120 km a hour i rode. I was boling inside my helmet and clothing. I stopped for feul and drank a liter of water in the shade. I heard a bubbling sound and turned out the oil in the motor was boiling hot. I was to exhausted to car, i sat against a tree and passed out for half a hour. It was than as is stiil the the case always construction work going on on the autobahn. For a 100km i was foreced in the wrong direction. No satnav in those days. Feuled up again and ate a bunch of icecream. That turned out to be a bad mistake. Rode the last 300km with stummic cramps.. even tho i was in my late twenties then i felt like a worn out old man. One good tho, my bike started run better the closer i got to the dutch border. After crossing the border it ran like a charm again, not missing a beat. By that time i was totaly spend and worn out. But 50 km from home the german curse caught up and it was one road closier after the other. So hade to ride a extra 30 km before i finaly got home. I left at 5 in the morning and was back home at 9 in the evening. I left the bike standing in the backyard, i was to exhausted to push it into the shed. I walked into the house and went straight go bed. Oh boy the joy of waking up. I was hurting in places i thought was imposible to feel pain. I decided that i would not ever do a long run riding again, no matter wat kinda of bike i would get in the future. My sr 500 was absolutly not the right bike for wat would end up to be a 900 km torture ride. I still think about that ride now and than. There were good and fun moments during that ride. But that is deu to selectiv memory. I stuck to my dicision and never made such a long run again.. 15:47

Not comparable.. so far apart . I mean it was still a big twin , but so stripped back it was miles lighter than the RKS . But it only really comes into play if you drop em and have to pick them up right .. And very slow tight manoeuvring stuff .. I can sense with the rks if she is gonna go . She will just go , it’s definitely a fine line .. I come close a few times when I first got her , always slow tight turn , but now more used to it , leave the bloody front brake alone at slow speed , but yeah miles apart ..
