Love the gorge.....we have friends with a property just outside Cheddar we visit each summer....I have never actually ridden the gorge ! Need to remedy that soon....😊🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loved the camera work, lots of lovely details (little snapshot of the dog, aw), great narration, great sound. Cheers.

+Adam King I’d love to do a vid with TMF, in fact we’ve spoken about it on here before, but he’s really busy with his own content just now - he does this full time now whereas it’s just a hobby for me. At the moment it’d have to be a new GS for me, but I’d like to try a few others just to make sure, so expect a fair few review vids once I’m able to ride again 👍 I’m hoping RichyVida, TMF and I can do something together for a wee series of vids in the New Year, that should be a great craic 😉

Regards training other than the IAM the best I've done was with i2i Motorcycle Academy, it was a terrible day weatherwise (a bit like your last day of the UK trip) and I was doing machine control part 1. The rain was the best it could be though as they showed me how to brake properly and the rain emphasised how good your brakes are if used correctly. I was doing stoppies in torrential rain.

We went up to Cheddar Gorge years ago just after they surface dressed it. Couldn’t do more than 10mph and it was like riding sheet ice.

Awesome stuff, I've just posted a Cheddar Gorge video too. I didn't know you were allowed to use a drone there, would have loved to have gotten mine up in the air there! :-)

Tbh I was a bit naive when I first got it and flew it anywhere, but now I know otherwise. There were LOTS of warnings about flying there on my DJi remote, but it wasn’t a red zone were I was so I could just ignore the warnings and fly up to a set ceiling height.👍

Yep same here, I have the Mavic Pro. I think the regs around Drone flying in the UK are going to get way more stringent next year, I’m tempted to just do the commercial course now before they hike the prices up.

Thanks for the video Bruce, I have also watched your more recent videos at California Superbike School as well. I want to do more track training primarily to improve my road riding not to become a track day rider. How does the IAM day and CSS compare? There are also other companies that offer training on track - Rapid, BSB school. Thanks very much!

Hi David, For road riding you can’t beat the IAM Rider Skills Days - they’re great 👍

Did you not rate the Metzelers? Are the road smarts better? Agree the GSA is unbelievable had mine a year 11,000 miles and wouldn't dream of stopping it

@teapotone

6 жыл бұрын

+Paul M The Metzelers has great wet grip, and initially the dry grip when pushed hard was stunning. But after about 3,000 Miles I really felt them ‘wander’ when accelerating hard out corners, or braking hard on approach to bends. They were down to the tyre core at 4,300 miles. The Dunlop Roadsmart 3’s had the same sensational wet grip, but the dry grip was just superb. I had over 6,500 miles on them when I was taken out by the SMIDSY and they still had a lot of life in them. When I get a new bike (GS) I’ll be putting Roadsmart 3’s straight on them for sure.

Quality vid mate, would love to do one of these days as looking to do more track time next year. The website doesn't show any prices, do you mind me asking how much is it?

+Matt Eyres I think it was about £135 or £150 maybe, so comparable with a track day at a big circuit really. The instructors you get are top notch too, our one is a Nurburgring instructor?! I’ll do it again for sure, great day out and they do Thruxton and Croft circuits.
