Hi. I used the waterproof connecter, wired directly the battery The cable comes with the carpuride kit. You can use the USB on the Himalayan, but it rains a lot in the UK so I wanted something waterproof. You can still disconnect it and remove the system easily. I will try and find a photo of the connector. Cheers Mick.

@ thanks a lot!

The idea is that the kit comes with the battery cable but at the end there is only 2 wires red and black. I don’t know if connecting this directly to the battery + and - without any protection is a good idea.

@ yes just two wires. Black and red. The red (live) is protected with an inline fuse , so perfectly safe.

@ in this case I will make the connection directly, thanks a lot!

Hi. A green lane is a legal road that is not often used by the public. It’s usually farm track or a fire road. Sometimes it’s a very tricky section, like an old Roman road that has not been maintained for many years. Basically they are legal roads we can use are bikes that are challenging. Cheers Mick.

@RAD_RIDERS_UK thank you Mick. I bet there are beautiful places to explore in the UK.

@ your welcome mate. We have some beautiful places here in the uk. you have the amazing landscapes and vast amounts of country to explore in the US. Ride safe 👍

Many thanks 👍

Cheers Mate. It’s coming on now Just the dark nights stopping play.

Hey if I could afford it, I’d get you to do it. Then I could enjoy my free time riding motorcycles.

I’m well jealous. You lucky man. Cheers Mick.

G,day mate. Yes it was a fantastic turn out, even though the weather was awful. All home safe and well. Cheers Mick.

Thank you for adding your kind comments. Really appreciate it. Cheers Mick

That’s great news. Thanks for sharing 👍

I’m definitely with you on the 6 speed. I did expect more weight due to all the rider and electric aids. Sometimes we just want simple.

Hi The link is www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155440957997?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=t8xqhnb0qf6&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=zIZCxNVHQju&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The price has gone up since I bought it, I paid £7 and im sure it will come down again.

Yes Im totally looking forward to seeing the also.

Yes Im totally in agreement with you on the weight and 5 speed. But it’s a great start.

@@Bicycle_Fungi now that would be the answer. Come on Yamaha, join the party

WR350R...👌👌

Yes that was one big point from me. I think 6 speed is standard now

Yes it is. I remember a couple of years ago saying “I wouldn’t ride anything less than a 1000cc. 😂

Thanks for your comments. It’s going to be an interesting conversation as it will fully be customised around the bike. I’ve got some good ideas which I want to try out also. Cheers Mick

I’m totally in agreement with you on the 450. And especially on the indicator warning light. It’s virtually none noticeable. Cheers Mick

Cheers Taffy. Hopefully when all the insulation is in, it will start to take shape. Cheers

G'day Neil. Thank you for adding your comments. yea the heated grips are awesome, and the LED is a game changer. I thought we had it bad here in the UK with the odd deer, but I don't envy you with all them Kangaroos trying to spoil your ride. Ride safe mate Cheers Mick.

@RAD_RIDERS_UK hi thanks for the comment, worst time's are Dusk and first light, and this time of year it's breading section so there on the move, 30 million Aussies to 50 million plus Roos, been riding over 45 year and they haven't got me yet, cheers mate, you ride safe, Neil.

@@markfenlon7049 hello Mark. Hope your well mate. I’ve not yet had chance to ride the CF moto 450 so can’t give you my thoughts on that. However watching a lot of reviews on this bike say it’s a little cramped in the legroom for taller riders. I find the himi perfect for me and not cramped at all. I have heard the rally seat is a fantastic upgrade for that extra comfort. Hope this helps mate. Cheers Mick.

Im sure you will find one on there. I cant believe they are not a standard item on motorcycles.

Thanks Mark for sharing your comments. The XL1000 is a big bike to come down from, but I’m sure you will not regret it. Especially as you’re keeping it. It’s a tight choice between the 450’s and I’m sure you will make the right choice for your riding needs. I don’t think you can go wrong with either. Ride safe buddy. Cheers Mick.

Thanks for sharing your comments. I really appreciate it. Cheers Mick

Thanks Mark. Really appreciate your comments. Lucky you with a retirement package at 55. We ride all year round and just love being out on the lanes. We ride with all ages and skill levels and every ride we meet new friends. See you at the lightweight adventure festival 25 Cheers Mick 👍

It’s so much fun to ride too. It’s a proper thing and a great looker.

I’ve had both good and bad reviews on these bikes. I must have a good one as I was out for hours on it yesterday. Cheers mate.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah it’s a real nice bike and a bargain at £800. Cheers Mick.

I’m with you on singles. I have the Himalayan 450 and the CRF300. Love all three of these bikes for different reasons. Not tried the Guerrilla 450 yet but looks awesome. Cheers Mick

@@RAD_RIDERS_UK Yes Mick, I watched your Himalayan videos. I test rode the Himalayan just before the Guerrilla came out and was sorely tempted. I don't do off road but, IMO, I think the Himalayan makes a brilliant road bike and it's extra travel suspension makes so much sense with the rubbish road surfaces we have. Most of all, I really liked the gutsy 450 single, it doesn't feel over refined but in the same breath, it feels well engineered like the rest of the bike. In the end, the Playa Black Guerrilla won me over 😊 I reluctantly traded in my Hunter 350, a totally different character to the Guerrilla but brilliant in it's own way. Being fully run in now, just need some decent weather and clean roads. Howz your Himi going? Cheers, Phil (Somerset)

@@PAGallagher hi Phil. Yes the Himi is going great. The weather is not great here in the NW so limited rides out at the moment. I’ve not even seen the Guerrilla in the metal yet. I’m going to have to get over to my local dealer and throw my leg over one. Cheers Mick.

@@RAD_RIDERS_UK Good idea ......... don't forget to leave your wallet at home 😁 Phil

Cheers Taffy. Really appreciate your comments and support. Cheers Mick ❤️

Great tip thank you. I didn’t think of that. Cheers Mick.

You’re welcome mate. I think fit them while works best for you. Super made up with mine and really takes the wind off your hands in the upcoming winter months. Cheers Mick.

Thanks Chris, really appreciate your comments. I will be starting the build in two weeks, then will be getting out with the van and the bikes all over winter. I will keep you posted. Cheers Mick

Thanks for leaving your comments. Happy that you are enjoying your bike also. Good job you checked your oil. Cheers Mick

I totally agree. I’m in my mid 50’s and was one of the youngest at the show. It would be a shame if these classics disappear. We need to get the youth into our beautiful passion for motorcycling. Cheers Mick. .

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Glad to hear you are also a 452 owner yourself. Cheers Mick.

Thanks for your comments, I will look out for your vids. some people just love the raw straightforward videos, editing gets easier the more you practice and find a software that works for you. Cheers Mick

too true

The weather was favourable for Sunday. And a little sunshine really makes the show Chers Mick.

Many thanks. I've not tested the Powerbronze screen, if you do purchase it, let me know if it fits. Cheers Mick

We were lucky with the weather on Saturday. Nice open spaces and there was quite a few people with disabilities. It’s a shame that the staff are not properly trained to deal with disabled customers properly. I was also surprised that there where no staff directing trafic on leaving the show. It was left for a free for all. Cheers Mick

@anythingoldmechanical Hi yeah we were very luck with the weather. Think next time we go a bit later as not as many ppl about around 2pm ish. So sorry to here about the gate staff . That's just not on. There should be absolutely more disabled access. Maybe I mention that on other events vids.

@@taffy2wheels577 I am severely disabled with lung disease and osteo arthritis. All I wanted to do was go out of the gate, and turn right to go 50ft to the bus stop. Instead, the jobsworth on the gate made me struggle with my walking stick and out of breath and go down that underground tunnel, which taken me 15 minutes to do, then I had to cross the busy main road to get to the bus stop, that wouldn't of been necessary if he had let me out of the gate. I went to the event office, and out of breath tied to explain, and they also couldn't of cared less. As I result of this, I won't ever be going back and supporting this event ever again.

@@RAD_RIDERS_UK I suffer from severe osteo arthritis and lung disease, so as well as having difficulty getting my breath, I struggle walking distances without having to regularly stop. I went to the jobsworth on the gate, and asked him if he could let me out, so I could turn right, and walk 35ft to the bus stop on the same side of the road. He arrogantly denied my request and made me hobble down that long tunnel that goes under the road. When I eventually emerged from tbe other side, I went straight to the event office to put in a complaint, and the staff couldn't of cared less. I then had to cross the busy road to get to the bus stop, that i wouldn't of had to do if he had let me out of the gate to walk tbe 30 odd feet to the bus stop. By then, I had missed my bus, and also my straight through train back to my home, in North Wales. This nasty young jobsworth, and the staff at the event office ruined my day and as a result- I have wowed never to return and support this event ever again. They don't deserve any support behaving that way to people who make the effort to go their, and even forsake their disabilities for a day of enjoyment. If I knew who organised it, I would be in touch with them, too about this.

Cheers Taffy Fantastic day, cheers bud. 👍

Too true 👍

Thank you for your comments. You was spot on with th 10mm rais and not 20mm due to the recess. Great tyre choice also. The hand guards fitted very well and survived a couple of drops. Highly recommend them. They do come with other fixings but you can fit them accordingly to your needs. Cheers Mick.

@@RAD_RIDERS_UK Have fitted them now and they are fantastic, looking to incorporate drl n indicator into the guards

It says Givi on the bag, but it was purchased from eBay for around £15. Great little tank bag, with magnetic and strap attachments.

Thank you very much

I'm not sure what you mean by your comments.
