Wow lovely posh hotel, looks great 👍🏻. That was nice of dealer to give you a 24 hr loaner 👍🏻, shame not have heated seat option, that would have made all the difference for Faye. Look forward to 2nd part, great seeing you guys out and about.
Heated seat would be wasted on me but sure Faye would love it 🤣👍
Good to see you two out & about. Scotland is such a beautiful country with fantastic twisty roads. Enjoy your upcoming holiday. I think it’s tonight %that I’ll be watching for you guys chatting with Teapot 1. 🏍👍🇦🇺

Just bought a GS really surprised how good it is and happy I did it I’ve gone to the dark side 🤣 my mates be giving me loads of stick great to see you both touring again
Haha yeah if u want some stick off your mates buy a GS 🤣🤣🤣
eyup folks lovely part of the world 🤘🤘👍👍👍
Especially when u drop on with the weather 👍🏍
@@TinsonTour shaun ure absolutely spot on 😁
Well look who's living the high life now😊 Awesome looking spot. I kinda miss those old places, not to many of them here in Oz.
Was a real nice surprise as we only booked it last minute plus the breakfast was superb 🤣
Hi been following you for a while, just writing to say thanks for your vids I am a lifelong biker who unfortunately due to illness has not been able to get out for 2 years. I am still hoping that I might be able to ride again and still have my bikes in the garage. Your channel and a couple of others are very therapeutic and the next best thing. Regards Mike.
what a nice thing to say hope you get on your bikes soon
i hope you recover fully and quickly and are able to tour like you like
To begin with I thought the audio was great and the echo gone but as you raised your voice to shouting levels then Faye's mic started picking up your voice from the comm earpieces. When you stopped near Sringkell, off the bikes when your talking it's gone again but as you raise your voice back comes the echo. I'm sure the volume on the comm earpieces must be adjustable either that or look at shielding her mic from her earpieces. All the best to you both for your trip ahead 👍
still awaiting to get mine back as l punted off at Xmas and on a AT and hate it
Hate is a terrible word.... its 2 wheels and and an engine and as a biker i love riding all bikes even 125's and can honestly say I've never hated any of them ... some take adapting to but that's all the fun of riding bikes but gotta say i love our AT its been faultless 👍🏍
Great vid guys , that GS would suit me being a short arse 🤣 epic roads and scenery 👍🏻
Was a cracking bike and mega comfortable 👍
"We haven't done this one before have I". Good job you are an Art teacher as a fellow Scouser I can read through the freudian slip Faye lol
Haha plus we could of also edited that part out but that fact we are " as u see " I thought it kept it real 👍
I seriously do that all the time, educated person me 🤣 I have a clever way of saying things lol 😆
Nice hotel there Shaun you’ll have today do a review on it. They are a bit low them bmw 1250r’s when there lowered.
6weeks this Sunday I’m off around Scotland on the NC500 be doing roughly 1750 miles should be good for a laugh 👍👍
Yeah tbf it was a bit to low if I'm honest but still a good laugh , roll on 6 weeks 👍
@@TinsonTour cheers Shaun 👍👍🙏
Shhhhhh let me talk 😂😂😂☝️you two crack me up 😂 a beautiful ride to a beautiful place definitely looking forward to the next one ☝️ keep up the good work stay safe
Ps how do you two record your audio
Instead of the Castle Inn you should have gone down the road about half a mile to the Armathwaite Hall Hotel. More expensive but a different experience: food, views, ambience etc.
Haha it was just for a piss pal was absolutely bursting but will keep it in mind
nothing better than a GSA 2 up in Scotland bliss was doing the same thing in june .
Love Scotland pal especially when u drop on the weather 👍🏍
@@TinsonTour we hat 23 deg all week got lucky
@@AndyGSATractor -3 when we was there 🥶 🥶
@@TinsonTour sod that lol
I can highly recommend silk inner gloves for those chilly days.
Worth a try 👍🏍
Mint as always testing a gs 750 tomorrow
Excellent stuff let us know how u get on 👍
Shhh let me talk !!! Ha ha priceless.
Haha she proper shut me down 🤣
My 1250 is more economical by about 10% than the 1200 when ridden below 3000rpm. When running in I got 400 miles from a tank...thought the fuel guage had broken!

Evening all, first off let say I'm loving the videos, keeping me entertained while I'm bikeless, got knocked off it in Kelso no more than a minute from home, it happened Friday the 18th March, bikes a write off and I have injuries, not serious but bad enough, your friend from Kelso may have heard about it, happened just at the bridge and junction going towards the showground, anyway I'm really interested in the GS as my next bike, however I'm a bit apprehensive about the hight of it, I'm a mear 5ft 8inch tall, is there a way of reducing the size with a kit, I'm sure you mentioned something about it in this video, any advice would be great, maybe see you both around if you visit Kelso, all the best & stay safe both of you 👍
So sorry to hear that pal how long before your fighting fit again? ... as for the gs u can get the low chassis version which would fit virtually most people or low seat and lower the electronic suspension on the standard model , I've not got the longest legs so hear where your coming from ... let us know how u get on 👍🏍
@@TinsonTour knee is now infected, hospital tomorrow to see what will be done, got a big hole in the knee two fractured fingers, fractured scaphoid, looking like a few months at the least before I'm fit, guy just pulled out on me at the junction, luckily it was kinda side to side collision, enough to write off the bike and me for a few months, that's good news on the GS will be going bike shopping soon as I get fit enough, thanks for the response bud 👍
@@mototripperuk hope your all sorted so u can still enjoy some summer 👍👍
Hi guys, if you put the suspension on auto it adjusts as you ride. When I first got mine I started with toes on the ground and when I stopped I couldn't reach the ground 😂😂
It was on auto but its a factory low bike pal 👍
That shiny new GS just gets closer every week Shaun 😜 but if you do check out the Bumot boxes over the oe Touratech options. You taking the RT out next?
I'd never buy a new gs pal way to overpriced in my eyes for a "motorbike" , can't get on with the looks of the RT ( just been sick in my mouth lol ) but will defo ride 1 soon 👍
Really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing that’s a nice colour for a GSA , I pick my new gs triple black up in the morning,can’t wait,that looks like a lovely place, take care 👍
Ohhhhh new bike pal ?
@@TinsonTour lol 😂 looking forward to seeing what you get mate 👍
Having had 2 1200 GS TEs (not the lardy GSA you were on) and now a 1250 there is definitely a difference between performance, especially on the lighter GS riding solo. The 1250 engine pulls harder at all revs, doesn't have the 4-5k flat spot the 1200 does and doesn't run out of puff towards the redline like the 1200 does. But as you say each to their own😉 Good craic as always though.
Yeah sort of agree and as u prob know we've had 2 gs1200's the adventure and the standard plus a long term loan of the last 1200gs and yep there's defo a difference but as bmw quote its a small increase in torque and u prob ride different to us as never seen the need to rev a gs to the redline as the power curve drops off dramatically on both models but then again yeah it's every1 to their own 👍
@@TinsonTour I sort of agree too. The 1250 is definitely better than the 1200 in many respects, though I preferred my 2016 GS to my 2018 one as I'm sure the later emissions robbed it of something. Is it worth swapping from the 1200 to the 1250 just for the sake of it, probably not. But if it was a choice between the 2 from a different bike then unless cost was the overwhelming factor then it'd be the 1250, but ridden in isolation the 1200 would impress too, especially the way both handle for such a big bike. Forgot to add as I'm only 11st and a short arse 5'7" that probably makes a difference too. The thing that struck me first was during running in both bikes. The 1200 I couldn't wait to get the first service done, but the extra low and mid range performance of the 1250 meant it was a pleasure to ride, even running it in.
@@Bazza47 absolutely correct ... the main thing is "money no object" and both bikes do the job perfectly and for me the only obvious improvement that Joe average would notice is that extra ooomph at quarter throttle which gotta admit i liked
@@TinsonTour ahhhh but......don't forget unless you're an old git like me who buys their bikes for the average BMW rider it's not a case of money no object but more a case of how much extra is that if I trade mine in on another PCP. Ooo sit down sir and I'll work some figures out for you.........or am I just an old cynic.
Very nice looking hotel, but I’m not sure if I’d wanna take my triumph trophy up that road
Haha it was a lot worse than the vid showed but the end result was well worth it 👍🏍
another great video both of you i hope you try the rt 0ut i would love your opinion on it
Hopefully we are taking 1 out for a mooch in the next few weeks 👍🏍
Looks braw
Absolutely amazing 👍🏍
Hiya love ,sshhhh let me talk 😂😂 love it
Haha I proper got shut down 🤣👍
I bought a brand new R1250 GSA Ralley in 2019, worse bike I have ever owned. It spent more time in the dealership than my own garage. Major changes like cam shafts cylinder head, new engine and much more. BMW gave me a replacement bike after 12 months which had other issues and the bike would struggle to start. Once more the 2020 1250 GSA spent a month in the dealership again while they tried to fix it. Without success. after 100 miles I sold it bach to the dealership at a loss and bought a Tiger 1200 which has been great. No more BMW s for me. Hope you find the right bike Shaun.
Yeah pal always a bad bike as with any manufacturer even more so on the Africa Twin forum you hear about problem after problem with rust , welds etc but we've had ours 3years without a problem and still looks like new 👍
Looks a lovely place, how much per night is it,cheers.
£80 with breakfast 👍🏍
You seem to be enjoying that GS
Just had heated words with some1 on this pal , i 100% love riding all bikes from 125's to litre plus bikes .... for me it's about being on 2 wheels and adapting to different bikes quirks etc ... ffs how the feck i keep my cool on here is beyond me 🤣🤣
@@TinsonTour 😂😂 plebs everywhere pal. My VFR or my 49cc 40 year old moped both give the same thing, pleasure and fun riding. So many get so defensive of a type of bike 🤷🏻♂️ why cause devide amongst ourselves, we got the big channels doing enough of that 😂
@@TinsonTour you both was laughing, having a giggle, enjoying the ride then that means it was a good ride, it’s simple ride, enjoy! Keyboard warrior Putins are out in force tonight.
@@Motourev absolutely agree , so many brand loyal riders that don't actually ride and .... ohhhh better leave it there as sure u know what the script is and just had a notification from the 🔔 end that i replied to so better go and wind him up as apparently if its not triumph we are all doing it wrong ........ " its a feckin bike " 🤣🤣
@@TinsonTour 😂 I send you some springs in the post so you can wind up a bit more ❤️🤘🏻
Shaun, would you fancy Faye driving and you pillion?
Not until she does a wheelie school course 🤣👍🏍
Shaun playing 70s porn music and Faye eating a foot long sausage......Thought this channel was PG. Joking aside fantastic video as always guys...
Fay....LET ME TALK 👄
PMSL....
Thro my back yard , nice oop ere init
Absolutely Stunning place pal 👍🏍
find it hard to believe u only have 8.2k followers on shut a real everyday channel unlike some others, who does the editing Fay
Cheers pal ... we prob do 50/50 these days with the editing 👍🏍
Barb is a much better looking bike in my eyes dunno if it's cos that is squashed or what but it's an odd looking thing 🤣
Yeah love the look of barb 👍🏍
It's not spring till 21st of march chaps, but good vid all same
Depends how u look at it old chap as in meteorological seasons it's 1st of March but thanks for pointing it out 👍🏍
@@TinsonTour ok, I've always been told as a kid at school it was after the 21st of March, but I was also told at school I would never make anything in life so join the army, but I at least can de bunk the latter as totally wrong, the spring debate, im open to any explanations. Whatever if its winter or summer, I don't give a fook, I enjoyed the vid
@@michaelwade1092 haha honestly I'm the same days and months just pass me by and take the weather how it comes .... although in my defence it felt like fecking winter .... -6 in the next vid
