brilliant video matey
Well done Harley, and what a great video Budgee. Well chuffed for you both 👍
Well done Harley, great pike!!
Harley by name harley by nature!!
@@mattschannel1502 😂😂😂
You certainly should be proud of Harley he is a credit to you, his mum and Sarah. Lovely to see such a wonderfully brought up lad………. Oh to be young again 😃👍
Nice one Harley. I’ve been riding on the road since 1985, did 9 years of schoolboy motorcross before that. I’m guessing you don’t go motorcross anymore?
Yes, he still rides off road. He’s just selling his pit bike to buy a 250 four stroke, watch this space😜
@@Budgee197 Wicked news 👍
Good to see Harley is riding wearing kit. I see so many youngsters nowadays in shorts and flip flops without gloves which makes me cringe. I’ve been riding dirt and sports bikes for 45yrs for pleasure and professionally and although I’ve sweated by balls off at times, I’ve always been respected by bike cops for doing so. I lobbed my VFR up the the road near Mende in France a few years ago and slid over 100 yds on my knees,boots and gloves, but when I stood up there wasn’t a mark on me. Real bikers don’t take the piss do people wearing kit, only jokers do without a clue. Welcome to the biking world Harley, just don’t buy one, they’re sh1t.😂👍
Herald 125? 👍🙂👍
No, it’s not a herald 125👎 It’s a WK bikes 50cc scrambler. I think they are pretty much the same bike with different badges on???🤔
You must be proud of that boy Budge
Yes, he’s doing good. Proud dad here😁
My best friend was in that video
Good stuff! Great video, I just recorded a pike fishing video for my channel!! Keep up the awesome work with the videos! I always love watching!! 🤝🤝
A great moment for both of you, your excitement really came through in the video. Well done🤟
Well done Gents. First of many hopefully
Love to think it first of many 🤞
cracking fish, well done Harley
Wow what a great farther and son moment! Great fish id love to see some more fishing from you guys! Love the fishing box! What is the lid made from did you make the lid?
Thanks!😁 Yes we will never forget that , it’s locked in the memory bank😜. The lid is made of an old house for sale board, it’s like a hard plastic cardboard, that’s the best way I can describe it really. It’s quite sturdy. We used cable ties to make the hinges for opening and closing it. We had fun making it and it really does work quite well and keeps all you tackle neatly on one place😜
@@Budgee197 nice great idea!
Nice one lads
Unreal lad takes me back to when I was young fella And I am now hooked for life!! You won’t forget this moment for the rest of your lives
Yes harley what a banging pike . I was pooping my self them hooks never popped the boat . Bet you wished you took a net now 😅😂 big love and respect cee-jay 🎣🎣🎣🎣💙💙💙
Is that Mapledurham weir?
Yh
Yes it is Tom👍
Well done Harley, that’s a fish you’ll never forget.👍
22 mph for a 30hp engine is pretty slow my Yamaha 6hp on a t30 will hit 17mph
Yeah, I know. I can’t figure out why it’s not better. Everything seems to be in good working order but just need to try some more adjustments to get the full potential from it. Really it should do well over 25-33mph. 17 for a 6hp it amazing though, wow!😮
@@Budgee197 yes the Yamaha f6 is a powerhouse for a 6hp and yes that Honda 30hp should be hitting 30+ with ease have you tried different trim settings?
@@Budgee197 if not try a nice Yamaha f25 😎 lightest in the class and will outperform most 30s
got a 19 p on mine
A 19, what speeds you getting from yours?
@@Budgee197 38 knots
First time watching your channel and new subscriber I hope everything is ok and best wishes for you all 👍👍
I'm getting 21mph on sea and lakes with just me onboard with 20hp honda std prop. I'd love to achieve the same with 3 adults on board ,
Nice boat budgee and enjoy your vids! You should get 25mph+ with your rig! All on setup and weight distribution. Heres mine on solent at weekend hitting 30 in small chop
Great stuff👌 Which Gopro do you have to get the gps speed on screen?
I think it works from GoPro 6 onwards!
@Budgee197 Thanks Budgee, I've had an 8 black for a few years now and had no idea it could do that 🤪 I'll have to dig out the instruction
Check the air pressures in the water as they will drop.also noticed you had quite a bit of spray of your outboard leg.you might want to lift it higher on the transom.not the tilt but the hight.get someone behind you to see where your cavitation plate is on the plane
Was that past putney bridge on the Thames? Or Mexico with no speed limit 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Definitely in Mexico 🇲🇽 🫣
You need a tacho... just to check its reaching max rpm and also not over revving (although you'd tell as mine hits the limiter on my own) I would be happy with that speed myself. Make sure to run premium fuel to as it definitely helps me.
There is always one guy speeding on the river 😂🤫
Love to watch your videos keep them coming
Love to watch your videos fantastic ❤
Flip that’s not great! Mine does 25mph with a Yamaha f25 outboard and 21mph with 4 adults and 2 kids 🤔
Yeah, I know. I don’t know what else to try. I’ve got 1 more trick up my sleeve…… coming soon😉
@@Budgee197 make sure your pressure is at its absolute maximum especially in the keel, I remember 1 time while out on the lough my t40 wasn’t going over 20 mph I couldn’t figure it out, turned out it was an air pressure issue in the keel after I sorted it the boat flew engine revved out like it should and I hit 24/25 mph
We air the boat up to the correct pressure before every outing?????🤔
@@Budgee197a lot of the time the pressure will drop after about 10 minutes in the cold water, worth a try the next time your out see what your gauge is reading also you need a decent gauge 🤯
Yes will lose pressure from the cold water. Will make a difference. Also put all the weight to the back of the boat and put a riser block in between engine and transom around 1/2 inch to raise the engine/prop
Great video mate liking the speed 😊
Engine sounds like its running at or almost top rpm, smooth run. You will get a little more out of it when you next time run in salt water as its more dense, creates less prop slip, and a mph or two more in speed!
To be fair mate, I thought it was rapid when we were out in it!
It is a bit better now Dan 👍😜
Great conditions
We were extremely lucky with the weather!!!😁
I am so sorry to hear of all your problems. I hope honwave replace your boat as it’s clearly a manufacturing failure. Good luck with the future and I hope you stick around as I think your clips are honest and well made. Good luck.
I fixed the boat myself. She’s back on the water as good as new!!!! Take more than that to stop me having fun!!!!!😂
Is it a straightforward motor into London centre? !??
Yes but it’s a long way. Probably take about a week at the speed limit!!!!
Have you had a look at Ham House Street Draw Dock? Looks like an interesting place to launch. TW10 7RS. Cheers.
I’ll check it out, thanks!!😁
Great video mate , looked awesome
Looked mint team
Go on
Nice one mate! You definitely deserve the break. The Wye is a lovely part of the country, great if you like a bit of kayaking or canoeing. I went a few years ago with some mates, did a few miles but there were quite a few pub stops on the way do we were all a bit worse for wear eventually 🥴😂
😂 hahaha! I’m looking to do something similar with Harley but without the booze. I suppose we could have a starter at one pub the main meal at the next and dessert at the next then cheese and biscuits and so on, lol! I was thinking a 2-3 day paddle boarding adventure with wild camps. I’ll have to learn how to stand up on the bloody things first though. I usually just sit down with a kayak paddle, I just can’t master the standing up bit, lol!😝
Nice one mate enjoy your holiday
Fond memories from when I paddled and wild hammock camped the Wye on my kayak from Glasbury to Monmouth, over a distance of about 85 miles just before covid hit.
How many days did it take you to do that? I’m looking to day a 2 or 3 day trip with my son. I’m was here scoping out the river to see what the trip might entail. Do you have any KZread video on your trip???😁
@@Budgee197 I did it over 5 days. The best part was from Glasbury to Hereford as it was much quieter and I think you’d enjoy that with Harvey at a relaxed pace.
@@Budgee197 Sorry I didn’t film any of it, I only posted pics of my trip with updates on a bushcraft group I’m with on Facebook.
I was waiting for harly to come smashing along side in the honwave! 😂😂
Hahaha😂 No not this time. I was actually there scoping out for a future video. 3day canoe adventure on the river Wye, watch this space😜
Bet you can’t get Kelly to smile on camera😊
Kelly?🤔
What a great day we all had! It was nice for you and I to have a drama free day budgee!! Everyone was so friendly! Top day! ☀️🚤🤗
Excellent day on the water. Everyone went home safely smiling from ear to ear.😁
This one had me in tears of laughter them their spuds was very well done 😅😅😅 . And top dangling Harley some nice perch. I love the old school broom . And that saw defo a ten out of ten. Big love Cee-Jay 🎣🎣🎣
We had proper belly laughs all weekend!!😂😂😂
@@Budgee197 I'd love to carp fish there 🎣🎣🎣🎣 but no potatoes hahhaha
🤣🤣🤣
