Thanks for checking out the video. I'm flying back out to the middle east in a few days time and now thr TRK is off road due to a brake issue. I'm back in the UK for a few days in June and will be going to the ABR festival so perhaps we could sort something out in June. Ride safe 👍
Always enjoy the videos as your type of touring is like mine👍.. just soaking up all the lovely countryside scenery, amazing. Unless I missed it in the video and if my eyes aren't deceiving me, it looks like you've upgraded your hand guards ... please explain 😊 😃 (they look smart)
Thanks bud, I hope you are well. I've been back for a few weeks now. I've got some great touring videos coming up soon. I'm back out to Iraq though next week. Stay safe buddy. 🙏
Good video as usual, big touring bikes are comfortable but if buying new they are expensive. I looked at the K1600GTL mid spec one is about £24k. Can-Am can be another expensive choice especially a new Spyder they seem to sit around £32k new but are a bit cheaper for older models on the likes of Autotrader 👍
Yes I agree with you about the cost of new touring bikes. For the Can-Am I'll definitely be looking at an older second hand model, l think I should be able to pick something up around the £12 -13k Mark. Due to a situation which has recently presented itself (which will be explained on the channel soon) the BMW is no longer an option as I need to replace my Benelli with another adventure bike. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking the channel. Sorry I haven't got out to St Abbs, I obviously forgot. I will take a ride over there for you, no problem at all. I hope you continue to enjoy your TRK, ride safe 🙏
Hi just a quick update on the St Abbs ride. I'm flying out to the middle East in the next few days back to work for 2 months so I will be doing the St Abbs ride in June when I return. So the video should get published on the channel around the end of June or sometime in July. Thanks for keeping faith in the channel. Ride safe 👍
18:29 - You got pushed off the road by a motorhome, not a campervan. Please differentiate - it grinds my gears when people use the terms interchangeably.
Sir every time I see you ride on the TRK and these amazing meandering roads, I am motivated to ride. Keep it up.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the channel. Ride safe 👍
Another great video Kev . Let me know if you want to meet up sometime. Stay safe and upright mate. Benelli Tom TRK 🤘😎

Have you considered touring Ireland? I'd highly recommend the west coast (especially on the rare occasions when it's not raining!!)
Thanks for the suggestion, yes I would like to take a trip over to Ireland. The wild Atlantic way looks a great ride. 👍

thank you for your reply stay safe look out for your vlogs
Hear me out. A video of you going off road. :)
Haha, I am the world's worst off road rider. It would not be very entertaining lol 😆 Ride safe 👍
@@BikeRiderReviews hahahahah it may be entertaining to those of us who like watching people struggle. 😃
How many miles have you on the TRK?
I bought the bike second hand. I have completed around 8,500 miles on the bike and total miles on the bike is around 10 000 miles. Ride safe 👍

Sorry about that but to most people camper van and motorhome envisions the same thing. Ride safe 👍
