Having used most of those products on my Africa Twin to ride all year round I found them quite expensive to keep washing off after every ride. I now swear by GT85 as it can usually be found for less than 3 quid a can and does everything that I can ask of it. Definitely worth a look
Hi nick great tips I would get the bike ceramic coated Where depending or what you go for is guaranteed for 1,2 ,3 or even five years then all you need is hose the bike off, also try a did gold chain no need to lube the chain at all !!! Keep up the great vids 👍
Another very helpful video. I am going through the new gear process. I bought the Forma Tera Evo X boots full length boots (look quite similar to your Alpine Stars). Tried the mid, but they didn't feel right around the cuff. The full length fit great, but they are so stiff (and thick in the toe) compared to what I have used in the past I haven't used them on a ride yet due to still getting used to the bike. I bought a KLIM Krios Pro and pre-ordered a Shoei Hornet X2 (in a new black/Khaki green color that will match the bike nicely) to compare... one will be going back, have a feeling it will be the KLIM. Heading out today to try some jacket pant combos. Fortunately I am not affected by snow where I live. Now for the big question.... you have a Rally Pro, but it looks like you have the blind spot indicator mirrors(???). I did not think blind spot indicator was available as an accessory on the RP. Is that a UK perk (edit... just watched your coffee run vid where you explained it 😊 )?
Yeah, the mirrors are about the only thing I’m not super satisfied with (well that and the display could be a bit quicker when going through the menus, but I was well aware of that when I bought the bike). Will probably look for an alternative as well down the road a bit.
have tried twice to send you a link for the forthcoming opening of the Sportsbike Shop in Preston but it keeps on being removed, You Tube does not appear to like it for whatever reason.

Brilliant stuff. I Stock up when Aldi have it in for cyclists, in the spring usually.
I've been researching urban scooters, and the XMAX 300 seems like a top choice!

Thanks 🙏 yes I ceramic coat my own bikes. Certainly helps keep the bikes paintwork looking great.
Road salt kills everything on a bike . Pain cleaning it when not got a shed .😊
Daytona boots are the only boots - forget the rest
🤣
Rst gloves just wondering why not full set of rst jacket and pants???
Have had and still have full set textile jacket and pants but to be honest they are not great
I've yet to find a decent wax, that doctor downpipes stuff could be the ticket👍
I like it

Hi 👋 thanks for tuning in, yes the mirrors were just my preference over the stock and no blind spot. 👍

Would be good to get a review on the Arai X5 helmet when that comes out toward end of the year.
Agree got my eye on one of those
@@MOTOUK1 Apparently the graphic helmets are beginning of next year. Great channel 👍

In Preston, 😮 I never knew! That’s not good then for my bank balance David 🤣🤣 where are they opening up location ?
Just looked on the old interweb, that’s so close for us. Hope they have a cafe
