Nice vid, I have never been to Devils Bridge, passed through a few times going to the Dams in Elan Valley
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
great editing some good shots.
Thank you! I am trying to get new angles and better my editing skills 😊
Thank you for a fantastic video, been to Devils Bridge but never stopped so you showed me what I've never seen down below and the sound of the re!axing waves at the end made a very enjoyable video 😃 and there were some gripping moment's 🙈plus beautiful scenery 👍
Im happy that you’ve finally got to see the bridges, though in person they are more of a wow factor lol! And I do love the sound of the water! I’m glad you enjoyed that part. Thank you for commenting 😊
Was that river a couple months back beauutiful spot man 👍
Betws y Coed is the best place for stone skimming that I've ever come across. It has the perfect set-up for it. The flattest stones are right next to the water. It's great. Thanks for the video.
I hadn’t thought about that, well.. that makes it an even better place now 😄
Where did you guys set out from? on your way to Holyhead......drove down the A5 from Bangor to near Corwen today then took a left left toward Chester stopping at the Old Stores Biker Cafe on the way.....was in the car with my wife.....she has zero interest in bikes but loves the old stores cafe. That section of A5 is amazing.
Hi. Thank you for commenting. We came from Oswestry way, to Llangollen then carried on through to Bangor, and onto Anglesey. My better half doesn’t like bikes either which is a shame as I think she would like it lol! But we have taken the car to the lakes which she loved. I’ve never been to the old stores biker cafe, It’s going onto the list, I will Google it now 😊
@@MeadowUK The Old Stores Cafe is around 10 miles away from the Pondarosa Biker Cafe.....that place is very well known....on the Horse Shoe Pass. The Old Stores is a must do....its in Pontblyddn on the A5104
Just found it on Google, pictures look cool, I will 100% be going to see that. Thank you
@@MeadowUK Get her a big twin-cylinder twist & go trike scooter. She can ride it on a car license & they're fast. Expensive though.
Lovely sceneries happy I found you. Cheers from Greece
Thank you for commenting and I’m glad you enjoyed the video and sceneries.
nice
Thank you 🙏
Nice one, that was a proper day out Meadowuk. When the suns out and the road calls your name, there's only one thing to do. Cheers man
Thanks Johny. It was a long day but very enjoyable. I’m glad you liked the video 😊
I generally find spur of the moment rides more enjoyable than planned ones, so you won't be surprised to find I do lots. Most recently a fabulous back-lanes tour of the Cotswolds. On twisty roads I use my Honda NC750X as it takes away the need to do everything at a stupid pace. Otherwise I tend to head from Warwickshire to Lymington Quay, or if I'm up early enough I'll head to Swanage. 2-3 times a year I will do an early afternoon ride to Poole Quay on a sunny Tuesday afternoon for the bike night (starts around 6pm), spending an hour or 90 minutes there before the two and a half hour ride back...
I love the Cotswolds. I may actually take a trip up there one day 😄 I’ve not been to Poole quay bike night, will add that to my list too. Thank you for the tips. I agree, they are the best days out being unplanned. I’m glad you liked the video. Thank you.
Was that thursday night ?,. their was a week night meet the up at tern hill years ago but it got a bit wild with the stunting and a rider died, i think the tern hill cafe closed and whitchurch became more popular ,.
Hi 👋 it was on Thursday night. I think it will get busier later in the year. I use to go to the Tern Hill, Stormy Petrel pub. It used to get crazy busy at that place. Shame it did get a little hectic with the stunt riders and I recall the accident, think it was in 07 or 08
Some nice bikes there, I really liked that 666
Thank you. That is a great bike, I think it was a Honda goldwing to begin with but I’m not 100% 😅
I miss those days. . :(
Some day soon hopefully 🤞
Really enjoyed the video and I enjoyed the music too. Great to see a variety of bikes and ideas for mods. That was some nifty filtering on the Busa to get out. Cheers man.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video ☺️ I don’t normally get boxed in at this place, this time was the first.. it was a bit tight 😂
that stand your using looks so useful i need one now
It really was great to use! I normally use the paddock stands which are fine, but as my dad had this, I couldn’t resist 😂 He will probably regret it now as I will be back to use it more often, saves my back!
Good video mate keep up the great content ❤
Thank you ☺️
Great video mate keep up the good work ❤
Appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
Enjoying the fruits of your labour, you have wanted one since we were at school and im so pleased you got your dream <3
Thank you!! 😊
That's the trouble with driveway maintenance people stopping to talk to you, nice clear explanation of what you are doing.
Thanks 👍
nice video, well explained. Is there any reason you didn't change the coolant? cheers, maybe not due.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked the video. You are right, the coolant was changed already so I didn’t need to do that ☺️
Grat video
Thank you ☺️
Buy a caravan cover, it’ll protect it during the months you don’t use it. But general cleaning would be with a bucket and brush. Not a jetwash as it’s too harsh on the seals, for chemicals to use, try Jennychem they do some great cleaning products for this type of stuff. Traffic film remover is a good all rounder to use. 👍
Hi Steve. Thank you for commenting. The last time I used a cover, it shredded itself in the wind on the chimney flue, so we threw it away. I may look into it again and see if there’s a way to avoid it getting damaged. Perhaps I didn’t secure it correctly. I will look into those products ☺️ 👍 thanks
Hi MeadowUK I am enjoying your videos. Dont curb your enthusiasm, just do your ride and your life and it will carry people along. Until '22 my last ride was in 1983, got my Heritage Classic last Oct, you can tell Kims father that all those skills he had are not forgotten and he will remember ... just needs to recap and practice practice. Cheers man.
Hi John. Thank you, that means a lot to me, and I’m glad you like my video 😊. I’ll pass on your message to Kim, it’s great to hear you are back on a bike, and hopefully this will motivate others to.
imagine watching a video like this. . . . . hahaha - love you, ride safe!.
disgrace
Move along
@rogersturgeon5293 I hope that made you feel better 😊
You really wanna be careful when using the jet wash especially near the windows and the other openings you can very easily blow a seal and have no end of problems I’d suggest just a telescopic brush and the either the pressure washer on a low setting or even just a hose and the kind of spray thing you’d use for the plants
Hi James, thank you for the comment and advice. I thought about the windows and fridge heat extraction vent, but I did not think about the other seals at that time. I’m hoping I am lucky and not damaged anything on this occasion. I will use a hose pipe moving forward. Thanks again 😊
I would purchase both a more professional foam gun and product. Also use a 'detailing brush' to get into all of the difficult areas rather than using the pressure washer. If you use the pressure washer I would buy a 'stubby gun' and use the fan nozzle attachments
Hi Paul. Thank you for the advice 🙂 it means a lot. I have been looking at better foam gun adapters. Detailing brushing are new to me so definitely going to look at them.
How sad do you have to be to watch this 😞😞
Congratulations. You are the first person to say a negative comment since I started my channel a few months ago. 🥳
@@MeadowUK Thankyou
And yet, here you are. . . having watched it, as a regular viewer thank you for supporting my friends channel by watching his videos and leaving a comment, the more views and comments he gets, the more the YT algorithm promotes his channel to others who will enjoy his content, have a blessed day!!
@@thomasclewer I didn't watch it all better things to do then look at washing a caravan
At the top of the comments, KZread states - “Remember to keep comments respectful and to follow our community guidelines” @cryengine62
Just curious how much a month is your caravan storage..? Feel tied up with a caravan especially without a tow car and no proper driveway which I really would like to resolve.. I have 4 big engine cars that would tow a caravan my Audi A6 2.7 TDI and My 14 plate Transit high top van plus my Jaguar 4.0 Sovereign and Mercedes CLK 320 Convertible. Was looking at a Volvo estate V70 2.5 If I can buy with tow bar.. My van and Audi are my courier vehicles. But lately I was weighing up the costs of storage £360 (year) one was quoted at and then £27 per night for campsite (again I am not sure) Cool video My first time to your site..
Thank you, I’m glad you like the video 🙂 We’ve had the caravan for 5 years now, and the Jag is the best tow car I’ve had so far, the last 2, were a jeep renegade and a Honda HRV; I’ve had to spend £400 ish fitting a removable tow bar to each vehicle. The storage isn’t a fair reflection for other sites as we know the owners of the land very well. Before making the decision to buy the caravan as we also had no space at the front of our home, we agreed with our friends that they were happy for us to put our caravan on their land. (Not an official storage place)
Isle Of Roads Closed 😂
😂 love it!
Hi, nice video. Can I please give you a tip… don’t use a power washer on a caravan. Having worked in the industry you can create water leaks in the caravan which can be devastating. As the sealer gets older it becomes harder and brittle which can fail under pressure. Just use a bucket.
Hi sailaway. Thank you for the advice. It makes complete sense. I was avoiding the side of the windows and fridge heat extractors but I over looked the seal/joins. Appreciate it 😊
As an Isle of Wight resident, who is a motorcyclist, who also has English heritage membership, I quite enjoyed this video! Great stuff. Shame the weather wasn’t better so you could enjoy the military road!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I really enjoyed the weekend at the Island, even with the weather 😅 I think I will go back when we have some sunshine, It would be good to see more.
Nice vid! The house is Queen Victoria's former residence! Did you see the donkeys in the well house at Carisbrooke Castle?
The donkeys bless them. I was waiting with a group of people to see the well house, but the donkey at the time bless didn’t want to go in. And rightfully so they didn’t force it. So we didn’t get to see it in action.
You might like to join the Historic Houses Association too. £68 for a years access to 570 privately owned country houses. Quite often you'll be shown around by the owners and yes some of the aristos are pretty zany..
Thank you, that sounds brilliant to me and I wasn’t aware of the association. I’ll look into that, I appreciate you letting me know 🙂
I definitely want to see you fix that fork seal! 😅
It will be one fiddly task to get access to the forks! I was debating on this occasion to pay someone else to do it 🫣 I’ll have to think on it some more lol.
Great video, all your videos are awesome. Maintaining your bike is important and interesting, travel videos showing places at different times of the year can help also. Keep up the excellent videos on all your various activities and projects.
This is great to hear, thank you 🙏 I’m happy that you like the variety of videos.
4 cones in the road aren't enough to restrict traffic are they?!
True. I had passed a number of road closed signs before hand though, and with the fog coming in I thought it would be best to turn around. I’m glad I did though, as I doubt I would have seen the view point and the rest of the day was brilliant 😁
cool :)
Thank you 🙂
Brilliant video really enjoyed, found your tea making funny and your fort very interesting, Thank you for sharing 😁
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great video, really informative. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it 🙂
nice video enjoy, cheers
Thank you
Get yourself to the isle of man mate . Youll never regret it ! Im on my 7th trip in june ( all be it on my Moutain bike for easy acess around the island )
I am hoping to go this year. I would like to see the TT but people tell me going when it’s not on is better
I ride with the local Blood Bikes probably works a little differently most areas have their quirks, I’ve been doing it about three years now. I worked in the NHS for about 40 years and like many things cutting corners to save money was at the route of the problem. It’s true that in recent years they’ve relied on taxis for some of their transport needs but prior to this portering or transport departments would have filled this role. The usual cutbacks by management who have a poor understanding of services in a bid to save money ended up costing more. We aren’t allowed to use bikes below 4C, ride safe.
I was informed we weren’t allowed to use bikes below 3 or 4c too. But they suspend the service via the app. On this occasion… and it’s happened twice now they haven’t. Of late, the charity has gotten for vans for the night shift to help with the weather issues. Ride safe also and thank you for commenting
@@MeadowUK we have been lucky here as we have about 15 bikes to choose from and I think it’s 5 could be 6 liveried cars. I must say I would take a bike whenever I can.
God bless keep up the good work mate
Thank you Darren. Means a lot
thanks for taking the time to share your adventures, and how you found the busa. cheers
What a lovely thing to do. It must be really cold and miserable when the weathers not good so good on you for still doing it to support our NHS. Volunteers are invaluable. Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
what exhaust is on your bike.
I’m be been looking for some time as I like the look for a new one. Mine has slight dent. It’s a micron exhaust. Believe it was for the gen 2. But someone fitted the 4 in 1 down pipes on mine and put the single gen2 exhaust slip on…. I think. Found a pair on eBay when I searched for micron exhaust Suzuki hayabusa
@MeadowUK do you prefer 4into1 or 4 into 2 as Original on bike.
@@zzzpipI’m torn. I love the look of the 4 into 2, still do over the single. But.. the sound on a 4 into 1 is lovely. I don’t think you get that from the 4 into 2 even with after market cans.
When I retire I will be getting a bike to do up. I would love an 1970's Honda 750 four, one of my favourite bikes when I was lot younger than I am now. Good luck in finding the right project.
Thank you ☺️
funnily enough my m8 over the road, who's a lifelong biker, has a 1972 750 four in his garage virtually complete with just the headlight open. i always ask him if he's finished it yet, but he doesn't seem to have any urgency lol
Riding good and slow and not like a punk riding like an idiot
wanna race will give you a head start i got 14hp :)
😂 that’s brilliant! You will probably win! I don’t know how to use the power yet! I’ll get practicing for the race.
