Hi Anthony Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s some ride and only one break, you must have a butt of iron! I’d never heard of the ‘open’ Manx driving licence before, I want one.

Hi Jeff Thanks for watching and commenting! The Iron Butt Saddle Sore Challenge is certainly a challenge. I think I’d like to attempt it again and hopefully succeed, but it’s not a major priority. Like you say, a full day casual ride out is definitely more enjoyable!

Hi Peter Thank you very much for watching the Iron Butt series of videos! Your tips and input have not fallen on deaf ears! Much appreciate your sound advice, hopefully I can put it to fruition in the new year.

@666dualsport You may well be correct, the BIG service I had on my previous GT Pro left my butt feeling very sore!

Hi Glen Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you’re enjoying your GT Pro. I’m considering going back to the GT Pro from the Rally Pro. Yeah, the seat does take some time to heat up. My heated grips are phenomenal, quick and hot. Although, I don’t use winter gloves, just my regular summer pair.

Hi Chad Thanks for watching and commenting! The kph you saw would not be the actual average on the day. I rode for about 4.5 hours on this ride. It takes about one hour to hit the country roads from where I live, so was riding suburbs for that duration. Also, travelling at slower speeds on the outskirts of a couple of country towns as well. The average kph was significantly lower due to these reasons. On the day, I will need to average 88kph, which should easily be achieved considering I’d be on ‘faster’ roads. The maximum speed limits in Western Australia are 110kph. I’m quietly confident I’d get round within 20 hours.

@@TheNakedBikers I see. I was just thinking how fast you need to go to travel 1000mi in 24hrs 🙂 I think if i had to do it, I'd try the 100mph for 10hrs method 😆

@chadkline4268 Wow, that would be going some!

Hi HorribleSter Thanks for watching and commenting! Your Yucatan Peninsula trip would have fantastic, I’m sure. Much appreciate your suggestions. Yes, staying hydrated is a must, along with snacking. I’ll have a few bananas with me. Great for slow realising energy.

Hi Cathy Thanks for watching and commenting! I’d welcome any information you can share where I am misinforming the viewer. No statement was made as a matter of fact, I referred to video which is in the description and offered some of my opinions. I’d like to learn more from you in relation to what you know about the mission at New Norcia.

Hi boondiboy Thanks for watching and commenting! You may have heard me say I wasn’t familiar with the layout of the buildings. Do you know where the imprisoned children were kept?

Hi Richard Thanks for watching and commenting! I usually record audio externally to a Zoom F2 field recorder with the mic that it comes with. When I want to record audio directly into the Osmo Action 3, I use the Purple Panda with an inline volume control cable to minimise clipping. Hope this information helps!

Hi thodoris3790 Thanks for watching and commenting! Interesting, although it seems odd why the fuelling would be any different on any of the models. The dealer principal didn’t reply to my email regarding my feedback. I have taken that as the bike is what it is, produced for a certain price point.

Hi Mick Thanks for watching and commenting! Very fair comments there, and great to read you're not a GS snob. The Explore is only $1,500 (750 pounds) so worth the dollars in my view. I'm awaiting the dealer principal contact me, currently he's on a winter break, see what he commes back with regarding my feedback. I haven't completely ruled out the bike, but still have my eye on a GT Pro!

@@TheNakedBikers If the difference in price had have been only £750 then I would definitely have gone for the Explore but unfortunately here in the UK it's an extra £3000, good luck with whatever you choose.👍

@mickemmett6828 Yeah, strange why there is such a jump in price in the UK. Thanks, my next purchase is dependent on selling the Rally Pro.

Hi Lincoln Thanks for watching and commenting! Gee, I hope the issues were down to possible neglect upon the people hiring the bike and the hire firm, they'd get some stick. Yet, you had a good experience with the transmission and quickshiter. I hope there isn't quality control issues with the bike. The suspension seemed fine to me, so much so I didn't even mention it. Interestingly, the used market for motorbikes and cars is very strong here in Western Australia, maybe even Australia? So, depreciation may not be a thing, only time will tell.

@@TheNakedBikers I had no problems with the rental agency or initial condition. Fun bike if kept within its limitations. 2 up exceeds the suspension’s limitations.

@lincolnandrews1798 Okay, that’s good to know. My Tiger Rally Pro is great carrying a passenger and there are zero suspension issues.

Hi @dcijams Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you love the bike, exciting times! Aren't there CFMOTO hard panniers available?

Hi Steve, thanks for watching and commenting! A pom in Western Australia. Longevity may be an issue, apparently the engine may have problems later down the track. KTM's 790 engine has some fault which may be in the CFMOTO. Thanks for your kind words.

@@TheNakedBikers damn, I guessed the wrong state! I saw you riding along the coastline on your left so I thought you'd be heading south. You were actually riding north! Time will tell. I haven't heard anything yet from owners here in Victoria. Cheers!

Does that make you a pom in VIC? Ride safe!

@@TheNakedBikers 🤣🤣

Hi Stephen Thanks for watching and commenting! Switzerland is on my bucket list. Although, I have heard it is a very expensive place! Frankly, a service cost should equate the same the world over.

Hi Will Thanks for watching and commenting! Aye, our climate here is very good. Even winter isn’t exactly winter!

Hi Mason Thanks for watching and commenting! What brand of battery is it? Four years and still going is phenomenal. I’ve read that a battery should have a cycle charge every three months to keep it maintained. I do have a battery charger that trickle charges. Maybe I should have done that alternative evenings. Although, this battery of mine is completely shot. It has failed again to start the Tiger today coming home from work. Luckily, I live close to work and my wife brought the new battery I have purchased.

I have a “Optimate” Battery tender which can be left connected all the time when in storage. I leave it connected to my son’s bike as he rarely comes here to take it out for a spin and have had no problems. Is your bike showing a charge when running? Should be slightly higher than the battery’s normal reading, not sure of the exact amount, possibly 12.8V. Should you opt for a battery tender, be aware that lithium batteries require a different one to the lead acid type ones.

@jeffarnie Hi Jeff Thanks for watching and commenting! The battery after fully charge drops to 12.4v, it’s buggered! It would need constantly charging to function. It failed again today. Started in the morning, went to work, wouldn’t start on the return home. I’ve had a lithium battery before, which I highly rate, and my charger can charge different types of batteries, which is great! I’m looking to sell my Rally Pro in the near future to be replaced with the GT Pro. Didn’t want the expense of buying a lithium battery and not having the benefit of it. The new AGM will do.

@@TheNakedBikers Are you looking at the new GT Pro or sticking with the model you previously had? I had a 2021 GT Pro fully fitted out for travelling lined up and the seller sold it from under me to a local. Now I keep looking at Tiger 900’s or The BMW 750/850 models. The new model Tiger is appealing with the vibration fixes etc although I do remember you saying you didn’t notice the vibes on your old one.

@jeffarnie It’s annoying when people don’t do the right thing when selling items. Although, I have test ridden the new 2024 Tiger GT Pro and it feels vastly improved compared to the one I had. It rides so smoothly, the shift assist is much better and the cruise control is improved too. You’re right Jeff, I didn’t think my previous GT Pro had any issues with vibrations. My current Rally Pro does, so much so I put bar end weights on to reduce the vibes, which they did. If you haven’t yet, go and test ride the new GT Pro, it’s awesome!

Hi Damo Thanks for watching and commenting! This video hopefully answers your question. 😉 Puig 20375W Touring Windshield Review ua-cam.com/video/Fef4yTTvakg/v-deo.html

Hi thesoutherndistance Thanks for watching and commenting! It works well at around 90 kmph, good enough for me. With it being 32- bit float it can be edited in relation to distortion. Although, I have experienced some clipping on the odd occasion.

Gee Bob, that’s sounds like a nightmare!

Hi Bob Thanks for watching and commenting! Even though I have the Rally Pro, I don’t go off road for the screen to be any potential issue for visibility. How did the stock windshield self destruct after only losing one screw?

Hi Greg Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’d say yes, I do hear some similar sounding noise but nothing overly loud. If I pass near road works with concrete walls, which there are several here currently, I hear something which could be the sprocket and chain. I hear the same from my wife’s Yamaha MT07 when riding out with her. So, seems very normal.

Hi aussiewantok Thanks for watching and commenting! Hopefully, the mechanics and Triumph Australia show due diligence and offer assistance. Keep us posted!

Hi Jim Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s a great question! Triumph’s handling of my complaint was quite appalling. They have finally settled the issue. I suppose your question raises another question, can Triumph customer service be trusted in the future? Triumph produce a fantastic motorcycle in the Tiger range. In all honesty, I probably would buy a Triumph again.

@@TheNakedBikers Thanks for the Answer!

@jimdye4424 No worries Jim. Triumph make excellent motorcycles, they need to provide excellent customer service!

Hi Richard Thanks for watching and commenting! Exactly, why would a manufacturer squabble? Customer service is very important, some companies seem to forget this. Good to hear Honda eventually came good for you. Yes, ride safe, the British summer isn’t far off…enjoy the day! 😂😉

Hi 2wheeledwillie Thanks for watching and commenting! ‘Ow do to you too. 😉

Thanks for the comment.

Hi Ex Thanks for watching and commenting! Good to hear your consumer issue was resolved. Yep, if the initial place of purchase doesn’t assist, go higher. However, in my case the dealer suggested it was Triumph Australia that would need to accept my complaint. I even wrote an email to Triumph UK and heard nothing. The whole experience soured my relationship with the brand. At least the brand manager intervened!

Hi Jim Thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah, I suppose perseverance pays off. Although, Triumph should have sorted it out months ago. Better late than never.

Hi @skymningforelsket1302 Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s great to hear, although a pain in the ass having to go that far! What is it with manufacturers and dealers?

@@TheNakedBikers Money, of course. I guess the laws are different where you are, but in the Western World, I think every country will have a Terms of Warranty in writing required on new vehicles. Standard. Just get a copy of the legalese of the standard new vehicle warranty for your bike. Read it, and if Cruise is on there, just bring 'em to small claims court (under $4500 cases in the USA. Costs $10 to bring the case). I don't know, BUT I DON'T THINK, they can legally "presume" the prior owner "did something" to the wire. Those warranties are TRANSFERABLE on new vehicles, and I think the "presumption" it's a failure is on your side as the 2nd owner.

@@skymningforelsket1302 😆 Triumph Australia seem to have a very 'standard' warranty which they don't adhere to. Your comments have actually spurred me on to contact Triumph Australia to ask them again to refund me the monies I paid for the repair, which was not a lot, to be honest. Alternatively, they are to reply to my email confirming that they wish to contest my warranty claim via the small claims court. I have hinted to them that the administrative costs alone would be more than the relatively insignificant repair costs I seek a refund for. It is now a matter of principal!

Hi Rob Thanks for watching, commenting and for your kind comments! You are most certainly correct on the DJI Mic 2. I do have that mic and it would be the perfect wired setup for the DJI Osmo Action 3. Shush, I have a planned video coming out on that one in the near future. 😉 I wouldn’t usually utilise both mics, the Zoom and the Purple Panda together. Maybe it comes across that way? My intention was to provide two options of a wired setup. One for the audio going straight to the camera and one for a totally separate external recording. If you meant too many wires regarding adapters and the gain controller, then I suppose so, but they are required for that particular set up. Stay tuned, more garage action is planned! 👍🏻

Hi gokhand3467 Thanks for watching and commenting! The output jack is for headphones, you can control the output volume level with the F2 BT version, not sure about the regular F2 version. Hope this answers your question. If you haven’t already done so, subscribing to the channel would be most welcome! I have a video coming out shortly about wired set ups for motovlogging. Keep an eye out for that one.

​@@TheNakedBikers thanks for your answer. I actually trying to understand if I can use the output headphone section to use directly to input into the action camera. What I understand is their manual they said it is just for play after the recording. This part that I would like to understand. If simultaneously while recording I can use this connection to output the action camera that I am trying to understand if I can able to use anti-clipping functionality. I also trying to maximize the quality of wiring on my helmet. Maybe you can check my video about shortening the lav mic for wiring video (ua-cam.com/video/xH4jYE8I9cg/v-deo.html). Btw I subscribed to your channel.

Hi Thank you for subscribing, very much appreciated! In short, I don’t have the technical knowledge or understanding to provide a definitive answer. As far as I understand, you’d like to use both the input and output at the same time and be able to utilise the auto clipping via the output to the action camera. I doubt that it would be possible because the output is just an output for monitoring the sound level via headphones. My apologies if I have misunderstood. Please let me know if I have. I watched your shortening of the lav mic video, an interesting set up. I tuck any excess wire into my jacket.

@@TheNakedBikers thanks for the quick reply, yes you understood correctly. I understand if I have time I will buy and try but it seems it would not work for my intentions. About the lav mic shortening, the idea is to squeeze 2 lav mic into the helmet. I would like to share a test recently I achieved and tested up to 50 miles, and it perfectly records my voice and also the voice of the communicator through a comms speaker recorded by my second lav mic. In this way, I would record group rides. I am recording both at the same time without post-editing. Maybe I will share later the final setup as a video with sound examples. But still, searching auto gain controlled device to attach to avoid unexpected clippings for clear audio for the future.

Hi It can get very technical and very expensive quickly this motovlogging. 😉 I have the Cardo Edge and use the Cardo Connect app where I’m able to record the other rider or riders by a recent update functionality. It completely negates any additional cables. Hit the link to watch the video. ua-cam.com/video/Maq7EhMzidY/v-deo.htmlsi=fh4frXoGNhxREuWq Would you like me to test your experimental idea on the F2 recorder? If so, please inform me what leads you want using and how, thanks.

Hi Jeff Thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah, that’s what my mate suggested, he said the Kawasaki wouldn’t be suitable for longer rides. I’m awaiting a demo Tiger 900 GT Pro being delivered at the local dealers to test ride. There’ll be a test ride video when that happens!

Hi Blue Stinger Thanks for watching and commenting! Great question and I don't know the answer to it.

Hi 01HaydenFan Thanks for watching and commenting! I suppose the camera doesn't capture how close the car was to me or to my wife.

Hi Marcus Linton Thanks for watching and commenting! Hand signals, are they a thing? I use my indicators to indicate my intention to change direction. The drivers here would need the sound of the horn to draw them out of any inattentive stupor they were currently in for them to recognise any hand signals.

Hi Adam Thanks for watching and commenting! Spot on! Although there is a fourth way, those drivers who are also motorcyclists. ;)

Hi reklaw Thanks for watching and commenting! Sorry to disappoint, but I think the regulators at UA-cam may have something to say if it was unedited.

Hi Giancarlo Thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah, they're pretty bad here. I haven't driven or ridden in Europe apart from the UK. No doubt I'll experience other incompetent drivers when travelling overseas in the future!

Hi Greg Thanks for watching and commenting! The issue was fixed for a nominal charge, but I’m a bit of a stickler for principles. Writing a few emails is something I’m prepared to do. I like new technology, but can be expensive to fix, BMW being a manufacturer who loves pulling customers pants down! The Honda VFR is a lovely machine, don’t see enough of them on the road. You chose wisely. I like the Africa Twin and Suzuki Vstrom, one high tech and one low tech. That decision will be way further down the road. Although the Kawasaki Z900RS is a lovely bike too, that would be a move away from the adventure style bike for me though. Ride safe, thanks again!

@@TheNakedBikers yeah thanks, the X Tourer is one of the most underrated bikes I think personally for long distance combined with dirt/gravel roads, and I just don't trust chains anymore. If you don't know him check out Big Bike Adventures. His early videos are on an X Tourer that a truck eventually reversed over while parked and it was a write off, he then went to an Africa Twin and recently had a blind corner sort-of head/side on with a ute on a dirt road and it was written off also, while he had the AT he actually bought another X Tourer, and after the AT went a Husqvarna 701 for more serious offroad. I communicate with him a bit and he always speaks of the AT being more off road oriented than on-road.

I'm not familiar with Big Bike Adventures, will tune in, sounds like he's had some bad luck. Yes, the Africa Twin is probably more for off roading. The 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT looks pretty good, although a fair bit of tech on it, a fair hefty price tag too! I'm a way off yet from changing the Tiger.

Hi Steve Thanks for watching and commenting! Food for thought!

Hi rowdyrodb Thanks for watching and commenting! Not sure which way to take that. I'll play it safe and assume you're on my side. ;)

Hi Allan Thanks for watching and commenting! I haven’t heard anyone I know say they’ve had issues with a Japanese manufacturer. I may be making the switch next time!

Hi Keith...again. I had the vehicle REVS checked here in Australia. The check is for any outstanding finance, if it was stolen, or if it was written off. The guy I bought the Tiger from was a respectable person, he also didn't come across as a DIYer. I'm not sure what confidence they would need to check the wiring and see that it had been disconnected. The Tiger certainly didn't need any diagnostics run on it, like what the worshop advised. The repair was minor and the costing was minimal, surely within Triumph's ability to provide a satisafctory outcome for the customer. As for being 'a whiny prick trying to use UA-cam for leverage', my channel is small, I'm no influencer! The dealership had an opportunity to help me, which they did to a point, but not to a satisfactory outcome. Of course I'm then going to take the issue up with Triumph, the Tiger had warranty.

That's not how that works. If the warranty is transferrable then he's covered. It's up to Triumph to PROVE that something was done to void that warranty. "It could have been outside influence" isn't enough. Where's the proof? Even voiding a warranty in the US requires proof and not "coulda beens"

Hi Milkybar Thanks for watching and commenting! Nah, can't say I'm on the same page. The Tiger was under two years old when I purchased it from the seller, he had done under 4,000 klms and in excellent condition. No gripes with the seller. The bike was still within its warranty period. My gripe is firmly on Triumph's doorstep!

Hi breedlofam Thanks for watching and commenting! Absolutely bang on the money!

Hi Keith Thanks for watching and commenting! He was smashing to deal with, no issues, lovely chap. I did ask him about the cruise control and he said it did work. I've no reason to disbelieve him. My opinion may have been different if he was a nightmare, but he wasn't. Triumph should not be making a nightmare out of this warranty claim.
