    Lovely trip and video Jack, my wife just got back from a week’s walking with a friend near Barmouth. That part of the world is stunning, huge empty beaches, and the great thing about a smaller bike is that it slows you down to enjoy the view. My preference is always solo touring as you can stop when you want. Off to west coast of Scotland late September, doing a similar style of trip. PS. Hope your health is a lot better now👍

    Other brands have had difficulties starting because th charcoal emissions evaporative canister has become flooded with liquid fuel, possibly from overfilling or sloshing in the tank. This will cause symptoms like flooding/too much choke which will be worse when the engine is hot and may not be noticed when cold, when it is wizzing over on the starter with no fire, try opening the throttle, this may lean it out enough to fire. You can get bypass kits to remove the system which consist of a plug with a resistor to fool the ecu into thinking the systems still there and some blranking caps to put on the vacuum ports on the throttle bodies. The rest of the crap is removed. There should be plenty of youtube videos on this subject. I have no problem riding on tyres that have had a proper puncture repair and would keep your tyre to take to a proffessional tyre shop that will repair it. If you haven't hot the stomach for it there will be plenty of people on ebay that will. Proper mushroom plugs are no problem as long as they are more than an inch from the sidewall.

I couldn't get to the Great Orme as I happened by chance to be in Colwyn Bay on same day as the women's Tour of Britain cycle race finished in the area and there were roads closed and traffic all over the place. I'll have a look next time I am there. You're right, the scenery in the whole of Eryri (Snowdonia) is stunning.

    As a long time GSA rider, I have watched just about every video of the 1300, then saw it in person, sat on it, was offered a demo ride, then an extended demo ride, and had zero interest in doing either. Notably, I have a great relationship with my local Motorrad dealer. I’ll wait a few more months, until after the 1300 GSA is announced, and when BMW decides that they need to offload their 1250 GSA overstock. At least in the USA, after the stop sale, they have quite a few 1250’s sitting around. This should be a great time to get a decent discount, while my current GSA isn’t losing a lot of value any longer. It’s bottomed out on depreciation. Unless BMW absolutely hits a home run with the 1300 GSA, which is doubtful given the 1300 GS, the 1250 GSA will be my final rendition of the BMW adventure line.
