Oops 🙈😂 I highly recommend Keis heated clothing Dave, I have done a vid on mine. Game changer 👍

Had a chance to demo a 765 RS and it’s easily one of the best motorcycles ever made. Trying to get away from naked bikes on my next one but it was making me rethink that haha. Enjoy it!

Lovely bike. Roll on Summer and hopefully the end of all this rain.😊

Try the comfort settings for the suspension, from the handbook. They improve the ride without impacting the handling too badly. I'm running mine on comfort settings and also did the same on my old 675r I had before. 😊

It doesn't seem to be noisy on the motorway. Lovely motorcycle.

Nice to see you loving the STriple so much Dave - I miss my old one and I must admit the thought of having another in the garage has crossed my mind....great machines. Oh and love the fact the bike shop was shut, that's the sort of ride out I do....

Hi Dave greetings from the Isle of Man love the channel I have had my R/S since July last year and love it my one criticism was the harsh suspension,found a suspension specialist here on the Island and had it set up to suit me highly recommended transforms the bike something for you to think about getting done cheers

Owned the first generation Street Triple and loved it. It was the same as yours in its own weather cloud. Everything was filthy after even a short ride in the wet. Had to soften the back end of mine as well, although at 5'6" and 11st I'm probably a bit lighter than you!

The camera quality at speed is amazing compared to some other Bike vloggers using GoPros albeit older versions. The pixel quality suffers zero denegration at high speed on the forward view. Certainly confirms your choice in moving away from GoPros. ME thinks you need some heated clothing Dave! There is nothing worse than being cold on a bike, it slows down your body movements, especially the fingers. Be well, ride safe and keep em coming.👍

went from a vfr to a suzuki gsxs 1000gt and I'll never go for a bike without cruise control again, i feel your pain 😂

You and your new bike compliment each other. A great choice.!! I agree that S W Motech gets a premium price for their products. If I had only bought their stock 5 bikes ago I'd would have made a fortune., but they sure do make super quality items. I can't thank them enough for doing their research and developement. Also, thank you for entertaining me every Saturday morning. You and Andy are my favorites. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

I know you know this, but it’s always good to be reminded, never let yourself get cold riding a bike, it’s when the accident happen. Hard to control a bike well, or as well when you are shivering Said the hypocrite who almost rode from Roblin, Manitoba to Kelowna BC, Canada in a day. One day, when I buy you a Murphys, I’ll tell you about it. 😉

Breakfast with Dave again. It has been nippy in the mornings the last few days. Best of Luck on the new bike.

Well Dave, easy to get caught out as you'd be thinking Tuesday to Saturday opening times as with most bike shops lol. I actually headed over there to maddocks at lunchtime on Thursday on the bike for same reason. Picked up the pro micro sw motech vag and tank ring(which i pre ordered)for the Tuono v4 1100. Headed back home just in time for the rush hour traffic northbound on m50. Going on tge bije is a gift though,just filtered the whole way and home in no time👍

Have you considered removing the 10mm spacer in the rear suspension? Making the riding position a little more upright and comfortable? I think it's 10mm anyway. Since you mentioned your position was a bit forward and the rear was raised over the R to make it more aggressive.

I meant to say don't forget the motorcycle shop is only open monday to friday hahahaha At least the bike got some excersise haha

Subscribed to you channel after seeing you live on The Peaky Bikers midweek mumble live. My uncle got his mudguards from a company called The Carbon King. Trioumph Scrambler Let me know if you don't have any luck as got loads of contacts off line in the biker world. Love your bike. my very first bike I ever bought brand new was yellow, It was only a TS 50 though but thats how my biking jurney began.

Great video Dave as usual,I have the aprilia RS660 in acid gold just like your previous bike.can I ask how do they compare ,do you miss the aprilia in anyway or is the triumph an all round better bike as I’m quite taken with it myself and I can’t justify having 2 in the garage

@WheelieGoodTV

Ooh that’s the million dollar question.🤯 I’ll put it simply, with the RS660 I had to find an excuse such as a video to make to go out and ride it. With the Triumph, I wake up every morning and check the weather to see if I can go and ride it.😍 it’s all subjective of course but the Triumph excites every nerve in me. Saying that, the 660 is a brilliant bike!
