    For your subscribers, the potholes were still there last Saturday. Will they ever get filled in? From the title I guess you drive a car as well, I suppose most bikers do have both unless the car is for 'er indoors. I notice we never see your route through Baldock.

      Yes. It takes a lot longer to get all the editing done for a trip so it ends up out of sequence. The remaining four episodes are uploaded and then we’ll be back to local rides. Second Scotland trip of 2024 currently being edited and will appear later in the year.

      Two reasons: it assists when I have extra soft bags on the pannier racks; and the OEM mirrors are set at their widest angle to cover the blind spot.

      @@thetewintourer Theoretically, yes, but the most likely reason is that they were trying to create a look and feel factor similar to the marketing gimmicks used in the motorbiking world. Much of the design characteristics with vehicles these days are more visceral than they are behavioural. So, practical purpose often lags behind image.

    From memory and the bikers I used to know in the 70s and 80s the worse one for speed runs round that way was the A1198. I can't place the B1000. By the way, it is now mid June and the rough bit near the end of the Tewin road is still as bad as ever.

  • @barrydaly7174
    @barrydaly7174 5 місяців тому

    Just a quick interjection, I think the point of that horrible scarification on the surface is deliberate to actually prevent motorcyclists in particular, from speeding. That road (B1000) was notorious in the 1990's with several fatalities. It makes it unpleasant to ride now, even at sensible speeds, Sorry carry on.

    • @thetewintourer
      @thetewintourer 5 місяців тому
