Here in Mallorca 26° and rising to 29° on saturday...No rain, just humidity...This Planet is going down. So, with 67, I enjoy life and my Joyride 300, just a month old ! Great, Alex !
This was the kind of video I made when I was taking my daughter to school, I had time to talk about different subjects. Now it takes me 7 or 8 minutes to get to work and there's no time to talk about anything interesting. 😔 I like watching your videos and I'll be waiting for that trip to Milan. 👍 Big hug from Portugal. ✌️
Don’t you dare scratch FRED! I tell ya, watching you go through morning traffic gets my heart rate up? Sometimes you provide more entertainment than NETFIX or PRIME!😆Hoping the very best for you, Oregon or Bust!👍🏻Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).

ude, take it easy on the marked lines when you are pushing down the throttle. Usually I don't accelerate when I am crossing over or going over those marked lines .. they are kinda greasy and slippery. Just roll over them without pressing down on the throttle.
North Finland already has snow, and let's see if here at south part of country driving season last end of October. So +17 doesn't sound too bad. Michelin City Grip 2 are Ok tires. I just did drive from work to home, and it was heavy rain and storm lot of water on the road. Tires was doing OK, but not so fun to drive over all.
Alex cannot belive how good are you with passing all this cars. You have really good feeling where the bike can pass throught. I am driving c400GT for the pass 2-3 years and still not so secure to commute and pass between all this cars.
Hello there Alex! +1 for the Michelin CG2, my scooter has it stock, it's very good. My old scooter had the first version that was also good. One question: WHEN DO YOU SLEEP?😂😅 (don't have to answer....thats some schedule) Be bad.😊
Saw some Chinese vids of the 368 range (not the G one everyone's crazy about, i think it was the K or E) and the geometry seems to have changed a bit, the bike stopped leaning to the left. Wonder if that makes a big enough difference to wait till 368 comes to Greece (sometime in 2025...)
I don't mind the left lean on mine, I got used to it and how to compensate when I take my hands of the handle bars (yes I know you shouldn't do this, but I'm an idiot). I'm curios to see the 368 and see how big the difference is.
Hello Alex ! The slide that you posted on the start of the video may caused by the white line of the road. This probably is painted by plastic paint and the lines are slipping as hell. Same here in Greece, we avoid them like crazy.
Yeah it's white paint slide but on the symphony on Michelin city grip 2 tyres I didn't have any issues with the white paint, we'll see when I get new tyres.
Hello Alex Can I ask you? if you have any information when zontes 501e will be published in Europe? Thank you about your analytic video.I am waiting for your feedback!!!!!!
My M310 has around 9k km on rhe clock too, 80% city riding, 20% long distance trips, and usually only one person riding. You think the thires need changing soon?
Hello Alex! I would suggest you to avoid Michellen tires on any bike, they are the worst and the most dangerous thing to buy is that you will slide all the time, it's like having the devil on the bike...😂
I had them on the fortza350 and they weren't that good and I wasn't confident at all! In symfony, the quality and different specifications may be different, if they work well for you, then everything is fine👍💪
I have ordered my tires, but at my front tire size stays that is for rear... is this a scooter thing? From what I see , it means it is better to be riden rear, it is also reinforced better to be rear tire. What do you know about the topic , Alex ? Thank you.
You won't have a problem with it on the front, just make sure you check the correct orientation. On Michelin city grip 2 the front tyre mounts backwards from the rear tyre. They look weird and everyone tells you that you have the front one mounted wrong but that is how you're sapoosed to mount it.
@@RideWithAlex I will do a research on M. websait, interesting.I see now on the front tire canalsa are ending upwards , the rear the canals are facing downwords.Like in the picture. That means that I should mount my ment to be rear the opposite way. As I see it on the picture.All this play role in the water displacement and the rotation force maybe. I just see how my CST are mounted...
Yea it's been doing that from about 3000km on the odometer. I usually can fix it by holding the brake and revving it a bit to clean things up in the transmission and warm it up. I don't know if it's necesaraly the clutch it's sounds more like belt screech. I plan at the next service to take of the transmission cover and have a look inside and see how everything looks and blow out the dust.
@@RideWithAlex I'm allergic to that sound, that's why I heard it.. :) The sound comes from the clutch... Cleaning the CVT transmission will solve the problem only for a short time... by sanding the lamellas, everything will be fine for a few hundred kilometers, but the long-term solution is to replace the lamellas with better ones... Malossi delta clutch, or something similar..

Alex, before your trip to the states, you may want to check out UA-cam videos made by Romanian American MOTOVLOGer Lali who has made great videos in the states as well as Romania. Other MOTOVLOGS for research are Her Two Wheels, Shadetree Surgeon, Chase on Two Wheels and Doodle on a Motorcycle.

Alex. Could you do a review on the Voge SR1 ADV pleasssee? 😎
So excited that you are going to the Cannonball, whoop whoop 🥳can't wait to follow along 💥💯
Same here on wet Greek asphalt tires are dancing like crazy. I will change them to Michelin city grip2 👍
My friend i am also greek ,i use them for almost a year and a half on a scooter without abs , and they are perfect after 9500 km.

You can also try "Anlas Winter Grip 2". Its the BEST winter tires for sure

With the crazy traffic sometimes I don't notice I'm on a paint strip.

17c alex thats summer in Britain 😂 im on city grip 2 really impressed by these
At +17C it is surprisingly cold if speeds are higher than 50 kmph and cloudly.
Amazing most people has no lights on in this poor sight conditions. It's so much saver for everyone.
In the EU it's mandatory to have lights on all the time. DRL (Daytime Running Lights) became a thing because of the EU
@@RideWithAlex I made a typ and forgot the word "no" as in "have NO lights on"
( i have no clue why youtube remove this commend...)

All I know is that the 500cc project is curently on hold.
Always enjoy your videos. Question: what are those signs with big yellow circle outlined in blue? I see them in all your videos. Assuming a store?
Can you tell me at what point in the video did you see them?
My M310 has around 9k km on rhe clock too, 80% city riding, 20% long distance trips, and usually only one person riding. You think the thires need changing soon?
Check them on your scooter, you have wear marks on tires.
Good morning from Greece ..what tires are you using on the zontes, the tires as you got them or have you changed them?
Still on the stock tyres, haven't changed them yet.
@@RideWithAlex I have heard very good comments about the pirelli angel
Hello Alex! I would suggest you to avoid Michellen tires on any bike, they are the worst and the most dangerous thing to buy is that you will slide all the time, it's like having the devil on the bike...😂
I allready have Michelin on my Symphony ST and I love them.
I had them on the fortza350 and they weren't that good and I wasn't confident at all! In symfony, the quality and different specifications may be different, if they work well for you, then everything is fine👍💪

Michelin City Grip 2, at least this is what I'm planning to put on him.

Just a cheeky question What do you weigh I weigh 96kg and I want to know so I can compare performance etc with you riding on your videos and me THANKS
I weigh 110kg
Alex how much kilometers has zontes up right now?.....greetings from Greece
Currently about 9450Km
Hello...👋
Does the clutch screech when starting, or did I hear it wrong?
On 1:29 hear first time...and few times later..

Zontes doesn't have bicylinder scuter?
No

Michelin or Dunlop the way to go . Stay away from Bridgestone , they wear very quickly.
