Thanks Rich, always nice to know. Cheers

Nice little ride out mate. The purr from Clementine`s engine so pleasing to my ears. :) Thanks for taking us along on the ride.

You have the right bike for such unkept highways. Thanks for risking life and limb to bring us this ride.

Thanks Dave, yes, they are a bit dodgy in places 😂

An interesting video today. Love the sound that the classics make when the engine is shut off. The best sounding single.!!

Thank you. Did you watch the previous one, the sound of the 350 thumping up steep inclines is a joy to behold 😎. Yes, it’s an almost reassuring sound, which makes one tingle……oh, and yes I am ever so slightly mad 😂

That was very good Ian, luved it. It’s brilliant when you get to a t junction, do I go left or right? and no bloody road signs; irritating or what. You were on top form with the banter bud, nice one. Clementine is running like a dream; those J series motors are awesome. Thanx for sharing Ian, ride safe my friend.

Thanks Neil. I almost forgot I had made this video 🙄😂 cheers

Ian, if you're happy, mate, we're happy! 👍 That's a nice little extension of your earlier ride, though I can relate to your comment about lack of direction signage. As an occasional visitor to the UK, I find it extremely frustrating to get to intersections that have no signage, have to guess which way to go and only find out after I'm a couple of hundred metres through the intersection and signage finally appears, that I'm on the right or wrong road. Why on earth the signage isn't shown in advance of the intersection is a source of mystery - or perhaps it's simply due to British idiosyncrasity!

Thanks Chris. They probably haven’t been replaced since being taken down during WW2 😂. Someone being given the task, probably weighed the signs in for scrap 😂

Enjoyed this one Ian 😊 now, I'll start watching today's video 📹 😊

Morning Ian, another thing I have had reasonable success with is fasten a external mic ( with dead cat ) to your jacket belt in the small of your back ( out of the wind ) connected to the Zoom in your pocket, something else to experiment with 😂 All the best buddy 👍

Ahh, didn’t think of that Mike, thank you. As my normal vids sound ok now, it’s great to be able to experiment, without compromising the actual footage. Cheers

Nice run Ian and the roads there seemed pretty quiet which is always nice apart from the odd idiot which you find everywhere .That long straight must have been a roman road and was probably in better condition when the romans used it 😉👌👍

😂 you are not wrong Mal, that was a nasty little bump at the end of the wooded section, and just after we stopped for a photo 🤬 Cheers

Not quite Mike….they really are awful 😢. Anyway, glad you got out in the sunshine. We are down in Nantwich, being doing jobs for mum and dad, would have rather been out on Clementine, but I did get another blast on the Himi 450 yesterday 😉 cheers

Hi Ian, shame the sound didn't pan out for you, but then that's showbiz! Nice views from up there, and for a moment you had me befuddled.. Ian Hughes, Lost? Nah..

😂 thanks ice, my inbuilt Sat nav rarely lets me down 😎 thankfully. I will keep persevering with the Zoom, but the pocket is definitely a no no 🙄😂

Only notice a small break in the audio when your speed and the wind seemed to trigger the camera to compensate for it. 🤔😎

@ianhughesroyalenfield

Ай бұрын

Yes, I noticed it at about 60mph. As daft as it is, I think the “me facing” camera causes a bit of distortion at higher speeds. I hadn’t noticed it when it was in its previous position.

I think that it's a private mooring or they've hit a lucky spot.

Definitely Simon. We lived on narrowboats for 8 years, always marina based, but always on the look out for a mooring like this. That said, it is a bit close to the road for us. Cheers

@@ianhughesroyalenfield My wife's parents had several narrowboats over many years. They'd go away all summer when they first retired. The one I went on was a bit small for me tho. Too narrow.

Ай бұрын

@simonchilli2088 too narrow 😂…..you get used to it. We had 3 over the 8 years we lived aboard. A lovely little 42ft, which my wife had before we got married….it was just a bit too small for both of us to live on. We then bought a 62ft traditional tug style, with vintage Rushton Hornsby twin cyl engine, a real old school feel. After we sold this we were going to go off in a motorhome, but my daughter fell pregnant, so we thought we ought to stick around a bit, so bought a doer upper 50ft. Sold that for quite a hefty profit, then went off in the motorhome, to start another chapter (ended up working for the National Trust in Snowdonia for two years) ! Happy Days.

You talk about the weather but didn't you see the latest report from the met office which tells us we've had the warmest spring since records begun in the 1880s. These nett zero/climate change people must think were all stupid. I've travelled those roads for years and it's years since they've seen any tarmac, an absolute disgrace.

Yes Ian, I did read about that BS. They forget that some of us haven’t totally lost our memories yet…….Grrrr 🤬. Re the roads, I think whichever political party actually made a promise to fix the roads, would win hands down, but non will commit to it. I put a link in the description, to that video I was talking about, the poor chap on his Triumph. Cheers
