    Greetings from Denmark and welcome to the world of motorcycling! Nice to see you taking it easy for a start. We have enough new hot heads out there thinking they are all that. I am just thinking of trading my Tiger 900 in for the 400X as I think it is a great little motor, it looks great and since I will not be travelling long distances to the Alps and such anymore I think it is ideal for whizzing about here. Best of luck to you and your channel.

      Hi there, thanks so much for tuning in! I'm defo staring off nice and easy and not taking any chances. I've mainly been doing local routes under 100 miles so the 400x has been perfect for me. I dont think you could go wrong getting one for local riding. Maybe we should swap rides as I'm planning to go overseas next year 😂 Thanks again for the support and all the best 👍

    I live just south of Oswestry and there are loads of fantastic roads and tracks in this area. Just a couple of things though, there is another road from Vyrnwy to Bala. I think you took the south road, but the other one is great too. And most important, If you had gone straight on instead to turning over the dam bridge, there's a nice little cafe.

    Hey! Could you do some update on how do they hold up please?

    • @NewRiderDiaries
      @NewRiderDiaries 11 днів тому

      Hi, they are great, in all honesty. Tough as nails and good for shifting with the toe cap. I used them for about 4-5 rides, but as my feet are so big, the clearance wasn't quite there, and it was a bit too much of an effort to up shift. I've therefore relegated them to my walking boots and bought some Ride & Sons Worker MC Boots in black instead (they are stunning and look similar to Red Wings from a distance). If you don't have size 12 feet, then the Vans could be a really great alternative, but for me, they didn't quite work. Hope that helps!

    I studied in Aberystwyth for three years and although I took the opportunity to explore the countryside, I never visited any of the lakes. I remembered hearing the story of Llyn Celyn near Bala, where a village was destroyed to provide more water for Liverpool, and the residents decanted to a new estate on the edge of Bala. That one looks amazing though. It was a village that was submerged at Lake Vyrnwy, not a whole town.

      @IndigoJo thanks for watching, really appreciate it! It's fascinating how they built Lake Vrynwy and how the village (slip of the tongue referring to it as a town!) was sunk to make way for it. It may be man made beauty, but it's beautiful nonetheless!

      ​@NewRiderDiaries I'm watching for the 2nd time, I think I heard you say you're into camping? If so, I have loads of gear for sale at a low price, from the jetboil minimo to backpacks and 5 tents to choose from. The reason I'm selling is ill health. The whole lot for £1500, you will not be disappointed, one tent cost £400 and 2 backpacks the same, plus another 4 tents and everything you would ever need. Viewings are welcome. P.s. some not used, and all 2 years or less old, I've used my terra nova tent only twice, sleeping bag x2, camping mats, as I said it's all there including to backpacks (osprey).

    Beautiful ride James, watched all of your videos yesterday and loved every bit of it, I myself am a new rider at the age of 62, got my license on the 15th of august. It is so much fun getting on the road and just enjoying the scenery and getting “lost”. Your choice in bike is a good one, test rode the speed 400 and loved it, tested a couple of bikes lately, a lot of Triumphs and loved all of them, the bonneville range is just so wonderful to ride, being 6ft I fit most bikes and although I already have a T100 , but my Mrs nicked it🤣, I have to say the speed twin 900 is maybe my favorite, so easy to handle and a great bike to ride and sound good too. Anyway you have 2 new subscribers in my Mrs and me, keep those videos coming and ride safely. Greetings from Sweden 😊👍

It's just a matter of time as i have no willpower, and I can't see myself holding out much longer 😂 Great shout on the speed 400. It's a lovely bike, although the speed twin 900 is next level! Whatever you decide, you can't go far wrong, though. All the best, mate, and ride safe 👍

      Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying them! Sadly, I've had this problem kick in. It started on this very ride and happened about 3 times. I think it may have something to do with my new levers and the clutch slipping, so I've adjusted them and will see how it goes. If it continues, I'll be hounding Triumph nonstop until it's resolved. Another big trip is planned on Sat, so I'll see how it holds up. I hope you get yours sorted though, a bit worrying, really.

    Great scenery again. You’re a lucky man having that on your doorstep. Enjoying your journey. I’m thinking of getting back to biking at 55 and looking like the Triumph 400x. Keep it up

      Thanks mate, very fortunate to live where I do! You should definitely go for it. The 400x is the perfect bike in my eyes for a new rider or someone just getting back into it! All the best 👍

      Thanks! I just have an old beat-up Dji Osmo Action 3 camera. It really is a wreak with smashed screen and damaged case. It's still good for 4k, 30fps though. I just have the standard settings with ultra wide view and image stabilisation. No filters or anything. The landscapes were shot on my Samsung 23 Ultra in 8k, 30fps. I'm a total amateur to filming, but trying to learn as I go really 👍

    Good start for a new channel. I’ve the same bike having moved from a T100 which at 63 was getting a tad too heavy to move around. Not had any of the reported issues but have changed to a 15 tooth front sprocket which I can’t recommend highly enough. I’ve also added the rear mudguard extender from Powerbronze as I was getting dirty water on the back of my jacket and helmet😅 Enjoy the bike and the experience as a new rider, it certainly takes me back to the fun and excitement of my first bike. Ride safely.

      Thanks mate, that's nice of you to say! I didn't think filming my rides would be so much fun! I have the 15 tooth sprocket ready to go, so hopefully I'll have it installed in the next couple of weeks. Good tip on the mudguard extender too, I'll check that out as I got covered in mud last ride out. As for the fly screen, here is the one. It just needs longer M8 screws, but looks really good and is cheap as chips! amzn.eu/d/4jzugYf

    Hi James enjoyed the video! i would be interested in seeing how you get on changing the sprocket?as comments appear to make the bike better? I take delivery of my 400x next week! i was going to wait until next spring with the colder months fast approaching it might be laid up for a few weeks not being used? but the dealer offered as discount of £300 so decided to go for it.I agree the bike does look better with the bar end mirrors& minus the hand guards.

    • @NewRiderDiaries
      @NewRiderDiaries Місяць тому

      Thanks mate, really appreciate it! I should be changing the sprocket on it this week or next, but I can't wait to get it done and see how it rides afterwards! Great choice on the bike, too - honestly, you won't regret it, and it sounds like you had a great deal! All the best, and enjoy the bike 👍
