Great ride Brother , I recognised Rapurapu road ( TePoi/Matamata right and Putaruru left ) , and where you did that little burn out , Okororie road I lived 500m up the road from there on the left .
Tirau , I went to primary school there and High school in Putaruru .
That sh!tt-y intersection in Tirau is actually Highway #1 that goes from Cape Reinga to Wellington ,, the main road of NZ .
Thanks for the memories of my old stomping ground , I terrorised that area on my ES2 Norton and 650 Triumph Saint , yes awesome bike roads .
Thanks again Vinnie .
Great to hear from ya brian! And what a story! Makes me happy that it brings back those happy memories and great storys! Cheers mate hope all is well in Aus!
There was a hall there Brian it is where my Grand ma meet my grand pa be for ww2 and hit it off had my dad and the rest was now then me then vincent
@@birdman9102 What a cool story , thanks for sharing , yes I have been to a few rages at that hall in the good old years , it was a great stomping ground , nice and central .
Com on Birdman 🦅 stop being tight & get some Batlax Bt 46 tyre's 😂🤣
7100km be a World 🌎 record on those stock R.E tyre's.
ha ha ha yeha
@@birdman9102 Inty had a wiggle & wriggle on when pushing hard.First thing I'd do be Yss fork upgrade & drill dampening rod & get rear Yss shocks no piggy back one's if I got
another.Hopefully they bring a Inty out with Showa forks premium fit & finish like Super Meteor & a 750 too.
Also they bringing out a Classic 650 too that'll be Showa forks too hopefully.Or I could always trade up to a bigger Triumph once got full license 😂🤣.
New Interceptors in new colours with alloy's & blacked out engine & Classic 350,Meteor switch gear look good just need the Showa forks like Super Meteor from factory.
Really enjoy your videos and the commentary, especially the group rides!! Keep em coming...👍
Thanks mate!!
You guys are luck you can have classic 500 . But we can't anymore. 😫😫. They don't sell 500 in India anymore.....
we got one of the last they dont sell here either. only 350 cheers ZOAN
@@birdman9102 don't worry classic 450 will launch next year
Yeah mate one of the last ones that were sold here they have been replaced with 350. 450 is the new water cooled himalayan coming out
@@roadblastmedia classic 450 is also coming up .. next year... 🤝🏻
I saw a upcoming R.E video & there's a 650 Classic in late 2025 & a 450 water cooled called a Dakkar Raid or something not a Himmy but there is a Himmy 650 coming out but not as hardcore as 410 Himmy.650 Himmy more a gravel road cruiser & lower,heavier not off road or trails like 410.
Classic 650 probably be the last of these released as it will be the most popular & R.E be able to sell it for a few years no doubt & hopefully all have Showa forks like Super Meteor
too.650 Classic might be called Classic or could be called Constellation.
Awesome Vinnie, mean looking group of bikes you’ve pulled together mate 👍
Those 650’s sound so good 😎
Cheers bro! Good to hear from ya!
What a great ride. Beautiful scenery on beautiful bikes! Cheers!
Cheers mate! Thanks for the comment!
REs back and noisy...excellent
Hell yeah Nothing less mate!
What a day, NZ at its very best. Good one Vinny, top vid.
G'day Vinnie, glad to see your ridding the right bike on this ride , it's always a fun ride and plenty of supreme thrills, l ike to open my RE up now and then and it just loves it, all British rally coming up this weekend in Victoria Australia and it's going to be great if last year's numbers are the same 2000 + motorcycle,s of all ages, epic event, any way good to see you again, say high to the old man, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Great to hear from you Neil! Always good to see your comments!
Great bikes so good to see father an son love of bike, I do love the mirrors on your dad’s where are they from , What a ride, which is your preference between the GT and interceptor
Cheers mate! Heres the link for the mirrors accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/Rectangular-Handlebar-End-Mirror/43417
And I love them both but prefer the Interceptor!
Many thanks as been sitting on the fence between the two so think I’ll go for the new blackout version Black Ray so less polishing more riding, what are the pipes you have on interceptor and what other mods do you recommend
@@stanleylawson9015 Lextek AC1 slip ons mate and it all depends on your taste and how much you want to spend. We did the mirrors exhaust and air filter but you can do so much more if you want
I think i was doing about 150 not sure i wasn't watchin the speedo you no what i mean
and then you woke up 😅
Brad..... you do realise we use the metric system over here right? Kmph.
Long time no see, head your back. Love the bike's.
Cheers mate! Good to hear from you!
Great ride Vinnie. That Interceptor is so loud 😂
Alas where I am, that queue of traffic is pretty much a daily occurrence at peak times and one of the reasons I took up riding. There's a bridge not far from me which they're doing major maintenance on because it handles around 60,000 vehicle journeys a day. It would drive you nuts!
Cheers mate yeah ears are still rwcovering weeks later 🤣 same reason for me too mate got sick of traffic
Your back in the re no speeding tickets right ? :)
Haha none yet
If you think it's bad now, you should have tried the Kaimai's back in the day when it was mostly gravel road! Talk about a crawl. Took hours to get from Cambridge to the beach at the Mount with a bunch of kids in the back of an old mini. Most cars had to stop at the summit just to top up the radiator with water - lol.
Haha yeah true mate that wouldve been rough 🤣
and remember the cafe at the top of the kaimais you needed to stop for a piss and a feed before the next journey 1 1/2 hours to the tron from tauranga 3 hours total if your lucky not to break down. We were lucky in the morris minor van never broke down. The cafe had the classic menu baked beans on toast cream corn on toast bacon and eggs tea or coffee 😀
Nice group ride mate!
Man the Speedmaster is such a good looking bike!😍
And love the look of the Halcyon bar end mirrors on the Interceptor.👍
Cheers mate! Was such a fun day! Yeah that speedy is a beauty!
Nice ride out! Looking forward to my first adventures this summer. (Well 2nd summer after 125cc).
Cheers mate good to hear from you!
@@roadblastmedia 👍
Just had 2 RR
🤣
Just wait for classic 450 .. 😏😏 that will launch next year
Never heard of that rumour
Although there is a 650 classic in making
Yeah man I heard it was Himalayan 450
@@roadblastmedia just believe me royal Enfield has very big suprise coming up ....
1st Dain
Where is HE,Dain 🌲😂🤣.
🤣🤣
Tyre like mine on Taupo run🤣.
@@roadblastmediaMiss the sound of the Inty with S&S pipes but don't miss the peg placement or the weight which play havoc with my shot ankles still stiff.
John reckoned I should of put Trident 🔱 on Ute & went up for Rumble but a 5hr drive is a big day for me after accident & would of been tired as by the time I got there.A big day on bike wears me out too & need a day's rest.
Also need to get a light weight helmet it gets heavy & upper back wear a disc broke gets a little saw.Gana be expensive for new helmet.
Wicked ride Vinnie, good to catch up with the crew. Need to do a trip to see RR and catch up again.
Taihape Rd & up to Waioru & Taupo after winter.
New bike J.P trade up or got 2?
Cheers Julian! Was awesome to catch up again!! Keen for the next one! Or you need to bring that tiger down south where it belongs 🤣
@@roadblastmedia now that should be a plan
@Ruahines Rider traded the speed twin. I made the fatal mistake on test riding a 1200 and 900 tiger. Decided on a mint low mileage tiger 900gt pro. It suits what I'm doing more, big milage days. About the same hp as the speed twin but more capable and comfortable. I used to mock adventure bikes...until I rode one. Handles unbelievable.
@@julianperry5141 They stay at Herbitville camp ground & pub use to stay at Wilberdon pub in tents but right next to road & heaps of logging trucks but does have a few rooms.
Herbitville a further 10km towards beach & is at beach with pub campground & rooms & community too & is a favorite of riders.
Also get there from Waipukurau via Porongahau past longest place name in world 🌎 & is all sealed & get gas ⛽ at Porongahau.I've done it a couple of times & had lunch at the Wilberdon pub where I talked to 2 Triumph Tiger 🐅 guys on 900 & 1200 & they told me about the gravel road down towards Masterton.The gravel road is about 4-5km down road from Wilberdon pub off Route 52 so will need to gas ⛽ up at Danniverke or Poronghau to make that trip probably.A good ride out to Herbitville via Poronghau the Danniverke way is the roughest road in NZ 🇳🇿 cause of logging trucks & lack of maintenance since they downgraded it from Hwy 52 to Route 52.I was thinking of going out to Herbitville pub & sussing it out for a weekend trip.
I don't get it how you completely lose your shit over one of these bland,boring average bikes.I took one for a long test ride to see what I was missing, and found the answer...absolutely nothing😢😅
I think you may have forgotten how to have fun mate. I have a blast of a time on any bike from a 50cc scooter to 200hp litre bikes. They all have a different kind of charm. These 650 enfields are bloody awesome fun especially when you chuck a set of loud pipes on them and ride them to the absolute limit. I owned a Triumph Daytona 675 for a while which I absolutely loved but at the same time I could never ride to its full potential on the road. You also gotta realise that if i was the type of guy who sat on any bike that wasnt considered fast to just moan about how bland and boring it was I dont think I wouldve even got to 100 subscribers let alone over 5 and a half thousand. People watch me for the exact reason that I lose my shit riding any bike because theyre all awesome fun and thats just how I roll. Learn to lighten up a bit mate and see things for what they are life is pretty simple. Motorcycle=fun. No matter what bike it is
@RoadBlastMedia " chuck a set of loud pipes on them" right there sums you up!
My bike has a great sound with the OEM silencers, this childish obsession just generates more anti- motorcycle resentment and potential legislation. I'm an old man, but you need to grow up!. I've done 150 on my bike.... but that is mph not kmph which that slug will never reach. over rated in all aspects, sheep in wolf's clothing. Dont try a and overtake anything unless it's parked.
@@bradcobb3418 Thats a good name I love the Slug
@@bradcobb3418 Brad... your sounding a bit silly now Im guessing your bike is that old Ducati in the photo? Whats that an ST2? Great bike! but also was made in a time where there was no emission standards etc. Today these new bikes have to meet Euro 4 or Euro 5 emission standards thats why I say chuck a set of loud pipes on because the standard ones weigh like 18kg and restrict the sound down to a whisper. Also 150mph is nothing special any moderately fast bike is able to achieve that. This bike Is A2 compliant and learner approved so its a completely different market. Also where the hell did you get sheep in wolfs clothing from? It looks slow and it is slow. Nobody is trying to say its fast. You comparing this 650cc retro learner bike to your full power Ducati make you look a little bit out of touch with reality. Theres a bike for everyone. Not everyone wants to go 150mph on the road. Nor do they need to. Some people just want a cool looking classic bike thats rideable and reliable. Theres also people who like a more premium bike thats very quick. Stop being so mad about them that you have to go out of your way to watch and then comment on other peoples youtube videos just to say so. Sounds like you are a little obsessed Brad.. be happy on your Ducati and let others enjoy their bike whatever it may be. 2 wheels down always. Ride safe mate.
not an st2, they'd never reach 150mph, it's the 8v 916 slightly detuned for touring. my whole point is that lots of reviews operate the 650 Int because its cheap, is rather see newbies
getting a smaller A2 to pass they're test and then move on to a decent bike that would be cheaper in the long run. I'm lucky that my bike is so old 23yrs it doesn't even have catalysers.
just tone it down a bit.
they're really not worth it.
