First thing that comes to mind going to any city is bike security, so was glad to see you had secure parking at the hotel. That electric bike is not pretty by any means as far as I can see, and I think that it will be at least 5 years before their range is anything like comparable to petrol. As for the sort of videos I think you should do, well, I think the short tour videos of different areas of the UK would do well, but having said that, I found the going to bike 4 life event was a good watchable video. As you mention the riding tips type of video, I think you will find that as you are a young rider that many other young riders would tune in to you to see what your experiences are. Many crave information and I think that the young or new rider is where your future subscribers will come from. Having said that I just enjoy watching and I'm at the top end of the age range. Ride safe and happy.
Thanks Cloudmaker - planning on focusing on travel videos the most then maybe a few events + some tips videos, will do a mix. Hope you've had a chance to get out on the bike recently 🏍 Happy and safe riding!
@@artistaradventures I wish, late back Friday evening then painting/decorating furniture moving, carpet fitting then furniture re-instating! That was until Monday night about 9pm. No wonder I love been out on the bike when I can manage it. 🏍👍😁😁
@@artistaradventures Cheers G, getting a Honda cb 125 r this week. I was thinking about the Yamaha xsr 125 but I am planning on doing long adventures like you so thought I would need a bike with more comfy seats 😂😂
Very enjoyable and well done for braving the M1 on your new bike. It’d have to be an amazing destination to tempt me to use such a busy road. Did it keep up with the traffic ok? Not sure about the Harley though, looks a bit heavy to me, I’ll stick to my MT 03. Look forward to the next adventure. Bye for now.
Thanks G - I think I'll be avoiding the M1 in future 😅 The bike was great with the traffic, much easier getting up to speed and staying there than the 125 🏍 happy riding!
13:14 If you've not seen it already, have a look at Teapotone's trip around the UK by electric bike. The charging infrastructure just isn't there in the UK yet.
I have ridden an electric scooter and electric does go faster with no effort but it is disconcerting how silent they are. The biggest and truthfully only drawbacks are the range and charging time and cost. .Manufacturers will tell you it has a 120 mile range but read the small print and it will say " a 60kg person, riding at 19 miles an hour".The real life range is about half that. And the charging time may say 3 hours for 80% but who can sit around for 3 hours and maybe not make it home? Im afraid at this point they cannot replace ice bikes on cost, range or 5 minutes at a petrol station. For city commuting they are the answer. For countryside exploring, they are not and the majority of bikers are adventurous souls. Just my opinion 😂
haha so true about the range, and good point about commuting / shorter trips, seems like a good solution for those. Wonder what will be available in the electric bike market in say 5 years time 🏍️ happy riding!

good thinking man - anything you can do to make the bike more comfortable makes sense. Good luck and have fun on your adventures 🏍

not seen that - will check it out, thanks for the tip and happy riding 🏍
Good video, the live wire doesn't do anything for me i think i would have spent longer in the bike shed car park.
Thanks bud for watching + commenting. Seeing all the bikes in the car park was a highlight 😄 happy riding!
Filtering FTW!!
love it!! 😄 🏍️
