So do any of you believe this happened? Or believe in UFO,s at all? Or maybe even have a story yourselves? 👽
Would be fun to believe that it might've happened, especially since it was somewhere other than the USA where most of the UFO sightings are. Your videos are calming and fun Mr. Steve, looking forward to pass my upcoming motorcycle license exam and to purchase a Vulcan S for myself, cheers from Romania!
@drakonix21 Glad you enjoyed the video buddy & kind of you to say so. It's a great story & must of caused rather a scandal back in the 70's, especially from such a prominent person in what was then a quiet little Swedish town , he's far more remembered for this than the successful business he built Good luck on your test mate & hope you get your own Vulcan , it's a great bike & not only for beginners, Its capable of much more than being a light weight cruiser & can be modified in many different ways. Let me know how your test goes when it time & I'll be glad to help you out with any Vulcan tips & tricks Cheers
I had an old Suzuki Intruder that the previous owner had mounted aftermarket lights on the crash bars. However they were cheap and I realised if the road was bumpy I was strobing the car in front. The moral of the story, sometimes getting the OEM parts mean less hassle later on lol.
@SloboloboVFR Yeah there definitely are much cheaper lights out there , this was the most expensive mod that I've done so far, but worth it, What size Intruder did you have ?
@@SwenglishSteve1967 Just the baby 800, nice bike but it needed a 6th gear. If you were at 60 or above it was very revvy and a little buzzy. I was a little too tall for it as well I just couldn't get comfortable at higher speeds. Shame really but hey ho. Ive got a poor quality video of it on the channel.
@SloboloboVFR I'll look for the vid mate, sounds like you're talking about the Vulcan haha, revvy & buzzy, on the flip side of you having a cruiser , I had CBX 750 & a GPZ 305 , bothe great bikes, but my back couldn't handle a sports bike now
Do you have many speed traps/ police patrols. I have a feeling I would lose my license very quickly on those long sweeping roads. I also recently recorded over 5 hours of footage of my trip to Squires café in complete silence because I didn't fully connect the microphone...
Hahaha yeah it happens, really frustrating, I get 'invalid file' sometimes, normally after I feel I've just made a good recording , Yes they do have traps , mostly signposted , but they've just come with new trailer mounted ones that they move around to catch people out & make people police themselves more..Yup the frustration of reminding yourself to slow it down is a pain, I couldn't go back to English traffic though, looks horrible 😅
@@SwenglishSteve1967 Reminds me a little of when I was in Alberta, Canada. Long open roads.
@SloboloboVFR Kinda roads we'd need bigger bikes & a month off
@@SwenglishSteve1967 That's the kind of trip you do really want a cruiser for. Just chilling out with your feet up watching the scenery go by.
@SloboloboVFR Definitely, I rode an Indian Challanger Dark horse last year, it's was awesome (insane price) man I'd love to have one for some roads like that, What would you choose?
The Sun has been so rare this year I stopped to get proof I'd seen it😅
The paranoia id have parking outside like that would have me checking on it hourly.
Oh believe me mate I was like that last year when I got her, but now it's just when I go past the balcony.. every hour 🤣
Peaceful for you perhaps but my cats went into hunt mode when it started playing lol.
Hahaha I can imagine 😼 this huge forest is literally 2 mins from my flat, Helsingborg is basically divided into 3, city forest & beach
You could always buy a rubber dinghy lol
Hahaha I reckon I'd have more chance of getting somewhere..doesn't bloody stop mate
Yo, I’ve just been learning the song California Uber Alles on the drums
@RyanMcGlothlin-lj3no Cool, played drums myself many years back, This show in Sweden was awesome, fist bumped Ray just before he sat down in front of me , And got to sing Kill the poor with Skip when he came to the front & stuck the mic in my face, he signed my Naz! Punks F off vinyl after the show also ✊️
I have a 2015 kawasaki vulcan s I have shad 23lt panniers and I've added a batwing fairing and spots also I have floorboards. Next I'm going to upgrade exhaust. I've also got a carplay system and 12vlt usb charger installed
Nice sounds good & like you're enjoying the modding game, careful it gets addictive haha, ride safe bud, & thanks for the sub✌️
@SwenglishSteve1967 I have a slip on exhaust that was on the bike when I bought it ( I'm the third owner ) When I get to 90kph it does scream kinda annoying now lol She is my first ever bike left it late I'm 44 now
@paulieboscobyrne7548 It could be that the previous owner took the baffles out to make it sound louder, it's a very common thing, check the opening, you may be able to get a replacement, Also congrats on getting your licence & on 2 wheels mate, never to old to start & you picked a great bike to get rolling on 🫡
@SwenglishSteve1967 cheers thanks buddy. I will have a look and try get baffles for it
@paulieboscobyrne7548 You're welcome, & as the sounds annoying you It's definitely the first thing I'd look at 👍
A good set of waterproofs can make rain less of an issue but it tends to get in eventually, and once its in the misery starts. I don't tend to go for fun rides in bad weather. Hopefully you get a stretch of good weather for some ride outs locally.
@@SloboloboVFR Gear I've got mate, only not heated & have had years of riding experience in rain ice snow fog ect when motorcycles were my only form of transport,Which is why I know rain is all part of it, Im not expecting perfect weather but this is more like 80%-20% crap & the 20% doesn't mean sunny either, Sucks mate & there's no point banging my head against it, Getting caught in the rain is one thing, but setting off for 2 weeks on a 3k journey basically knowing its gonna piss hard the entire time is entirely different, I can go sit on the beach in the rain also & eat ice cream, but it ain't so much fun lol ..local trips it will have to be Cheers
@@SwenglishSteve1967 I don't blame you tbh. getting wet on day 1 probably means being soggy the entire time.
@SloboloboVFR It's a gamble of course & if I had cash falling out my ass I'd throw caution to the wind, but I'm pretty stretched after all the upgrades & want the odds a bit more in my favour of having a fun time of it. It's not going anywhere after all.
Literally bought a Vulcan S a month ago specifically to tour on it, great video.
Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for the encouraging comment, Yeah the Vulcan's a great bike & can be set up in so many way's..cheers
Well anyone who questions if the VulcanS is big enough to tour on should definitely be signposted here. The number plate mod is illegal though.
@SloboloboVFR Hahaha yeah took some inspiration from the Ghost Rider , Its definitely big enough for 1 person, not so sure for 2 comfortably on a very long ride though, but it's an incredibly versatile bike, so many different ways you can mod it..
A new fear has been unlocked. I might just throw my new flip up helmet in the bin lol.
Be afraid! Be very afraid! hahaha
Thank you so much for taking the time to share. Made my night. I have a 2009 Vulcan 900 custom LT. which I love but want a second bike just for me. And the Vulcan S looks and seems to be pretty good
@RobertCarter-pv5ny Hi Robert thanks for watching, The 900 Vulcan is a beautiful bike & I'd say better for taking a passenger than the KVS , but the sportiness & manoeuvrability of the VS are great zippy fun, I don't think you'd be unhappy with it as an everyday bike & your 900 for longer rides, More vids to come & thanks for the sub , Ride safe 🤛🤜
What bag is in the rear? Would love to get one. How many liters?
Thanks for the video
@user-hi3fo8iq1u Hi, It's the Rhinowalk Blackbone tail bag 45L , in the thumbnail the ends of the bag are zipped up, so it's at 35L but they can unzip & extend out to 45L, comes with rain cover and all connecting straps,
@user-hi3fo8iq1u Thanks for watching, I'll be doing a complete walk around vid of the tour setup when it's done. Cheers
Hahaha, that is in Kph mate, so not too bad , but glad it gave you a chuckle, I'd say you've had a lot of luck with you camera being open like that, considering the English weather, mind you it hasn't stopped raing for 2 weeks here either, pissing weather 😂
When you said you didn't go fast and then said 130 I almost spat my coffee out lol. Oh and I removed the side panel from my DJI on day one and usually have the mic adapter plugged in. I've not had any issues of water getting in.
My god you really have been through it. Glad to see you back out and about. Don't know if its any use to you but I have the mic practically in my mouth, at least the wind fluffy thing touching my lips. I have the mic setting low on the camera about -18. Then I boost the volume in editing by about 16db. It seems to be decent in keeping audio clear and wind noise down.
Hi ya Slobo, good to here from you ,yeah its been a ruff one bud, I've got a lot of youtube vids to catch up on, I was carrying it for about a month until my doctor shut down everything, even computer, but back now , Thanks for the tips mate, I have mine down to -12 also & virtually in my mouth also, had to trim the dead cat a bit hahaha, a few tweaks more & it'll be acceptable to me at least lol, cheers
Hi all, been a while I know, this is just a quick vid of some new footage to get myself back into it , audio is getting better anyway, cheers
Behöver längre videos 🤘🤘
Thanks for the encouraging comment, I'm still learning editing & also working to solve bad mic audio issues atm so I can post longer videos than just riding around , I'm getting there but have had to stop riding just now because of severe tendinitis in left arm, so only have old vid clips to work with, Cheers
Even after 30 years you instinctively want to ride on the correct side of the road.
Hahaha I was so tired from work & no concentrating, guess it just came back naturally..thank the gods i came out unscathed..but it threw me so much I couldn't even , back up or do a U-turn properly & started swearing at myself lol..real senior citizen moment, gotta post our cock ups also lol 🤣
@@SwenglishSteve1967 thankfully you noticed almost immediately and no harm was done. Fortunately you have a bike that's easy to move around so you didn't have to wrestle it about.
@slobolobo948 To true, its one of the many things I love about the Vulcan S , the stock seat is definitely crap though,
@@SwenglishSteve1967 I honestly think with most bikes they make the seat uncomfortable to try and upsell you with the better one.
@slobolobo948 Yeah trying to drive down selling prices also but agree with what you're saying, It's the same with new bike stock tyres & and suspension, they'll only equip them with the most basic that'll pass legal standards
Yeah when the snow & sub zero temps bugger off its an amazing place to ride about in
Hahaha legend , cheers buddy, appreciated 🙏
OMG, that is lovely. I mean really nice to watch. Nice one.
Thanks man , I was playing about with an AI app, so can't take all the credit as it does have a framework, & the tune just fit the filming perfectly
Looks sweet AI or not.
Now that's a sky !!!!!!!!!!!
13 Subscribers now 😁👍
Clear blue skies! I`m currently sat watching the rain hammer down outside feeling jealous....Although I have a feeling once the sun pops out more its going to be less enjoyable lol.
Hahaha yeah I hear ya mate. As a rider who dresses for the slide ,anything over 25°C is hell as soon as you stop riding ..guess we'll just have to keep going eh! Cheers
Love the music😍
🤟🤟
I'm still learning about the camera/mic2 & file compression / uploading, this was filmed in 4k but can't get it any clearer than this yet, any tips are appreciated, battery died at the end cheers
I found that putting my mic settings super low was actually better overall. I think its at -8. It helps that my exhaust is a bit extra so you can still hear it
@slobolobo948 Yeah thanks man, good tip , I do have mine at -12 at the moment but a lot of itI believe is positioning , Its a hell of a learning curve but really good fun also..I naturally talk nonsense to myself anyway, so might as well share it hahaha, cheers , Well get there
så vackert!😍
