Had test ride they are nice bikes , but the dealer offered a pathetic px price on a Xvs 1300 so they can poke their bike

Theakston's Old Peculier brought back some memories of my 3 years in Leeds, many moons ago. I used to have a pint and a pie for lunch. Absolute nectar from the gods.

The white bear in masham has brilliant onion rings. Some of the nicest i ever had! 30k for a bike is mental, you could have a stable of fantastic bikes for that. A cruiser, a sporty bike and a retro with change for accesspries etc

Good Morning Dave , A lovely ride out today with all the autumn colors so take care & ride safe

I really enjoy listening to your ‘ramblings’ with your dry wit. I was eating my breakfast and wasn’t expecting your refrain on what BMW could do with their new GS; I had a mouthful at the time and almost did myself a mischief trying not to burst out laughing!!

Another great Sunday lunchtime with a coffee listening to your honest, dry humour, Dave. Excellent. Agree with you entirely regarding the cost of the new GS1300. That's a ridiculous amount of money. Still, there'll be those with deep enough pockets who'll fork out for one. As someone's already said, the type who'll get all the gear but venture no further than Tesco's and keep it immaculate. Don't get me wrong, there are those like TP1, who will get their money's worth from such bikes. They're proper owners. Can't help but feel they are in the minority, though. Great post as always.👍

Thanks for that. Watched it on a very miserable day. I was at Squires earlier this week when a guy came in on a new demo GS 1300. He was impressed with the ride on it but to me it looked uninspiring, much smaller than the previous models and appeared closer to a sports tourer than an adventure. Much less imposing than my Crosstourer though I dare say if I rode it my opinion might well change. Talking of change - not much from 20 grand to buy or even 30 with all the bells and whistles!! Mind blowing.

my favourite beer, can't drink it out of bottles, a friends father had it in his pub near Marlow many years ago, he would ask me to try it, after it had sat, when i approved he would serve it.

Thanks Dave for another great ride out. Weather looked really good. I saw where the 2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan has a 452cc water cooled single cylinder engine making 40hp / 29 FT LBS of torque. DOHC 4 valves. Looks like a bike I could see myself owning. Looks like RE is upping their game. Ride safe bud. Cheers

Cheers Rick yes they are definitely still on the up

What a fabulous sunny day yesterday. Perfect for a ride out. Alas I was on a long day shift so the Hayabusa sat dormant in my garage. 10 days of rain incoming now ffs. Looking at adding a third bike (I've also got a 1991 Kawasaki Voyager xii) and fancy a lightweight adv type, likely an NC750X-DCT for the type of riding you enjoyed on this ride. The Hayabusa is awesome and I use it for riding from Warwickshire to Dorset frequently when the weather gods are smiling, and occasionally I'll use the big old Voyager (it's like a Gold-Wing)...but I want a machine I can ride to the Scottish Highlands on that is suitable for the twisty roads such as Applecross pass. Previously owned an NC and it was the most versatile machine I have ever owned, regularly returning 100 pg, never less than 70mpg and still fast enough to show a clean pair of heels to the vast majority of cars. Incidentally I went to Completely Motorbikes in Hinckley yesterday and they have more used GS's than you can shake a stick at. All with extremely low mileage. No doubt a good number of them replaced by the new 1300GS so that too can spend the next 3 years going no further than the local Tesco. If you're ever down Dorset way, the 'bike night' on Poole Quay on summer Tuesdays is generally well attended (1000+ if it's nice)...

I have always liked the Kawasaki Voyager…..so few of them available in this country….the metallic red one is stunning. NC750 must be one of the most omni competent bikes out there 👍🏻

Nice one TBW, another great video, Theakstons old peculiar provided many a hangover for me as a young man, loved the stuff. You could only find it in those real ale establishments on this side of the Pennines back in the day. The new Himalayan looks like a winner and shows RE are actually listening to their customers.....

Another nice meander, Dave! Thinking back, my first house (outskirts of Birmingham) cost me 3,550 pounds back in 1969. Re some bikes being better able to cope with road detritus than others, the best one in that regards that I've owned was the Jawa 250 that I bought new in 1963. It had very effective mudguards and a fully-enclosed and self-lubricating chain. Over the intervening years motorcycle manufacturers have progressively (?) regarded such things as superflous, leading to road bikes looking as if they've just completed a scrambles weekend. 😕
