    Another enjoyable video of you boys riding the Alston North Loop. There are some wonderful forts and museums on or about Hadrians Wall but to visit, you need time and the need to put your hands in your pockets.🤣👍🏍

      @Steve-Clark Hi Steve. I don't watch many vlogs now due to not riding now but came across your video today. Your RT1250 is an absolute beauty, my favourite colour. I had 23 fantastic years of riding (1980-1990 & 2004-2017) and toured much of our beautiful part of England extensively. Aren't we lucky to have roads and scenery like we do? All the best. Biker Paul.

      @Steve-Clark My good friend Graham had a grey 1200RT. He absolutely loved it. He like me was a 'Pan Man' but with Honda not updating the 1300 and the FJR being too high, he found the RT (15 plate) perfect.

    Nice roads. Good video! 👍. Just purchased both Simon Weir books - Europe and the UK 2nd edition. I know you can also download his gpx routes, at a cost, from his website but I find the paper form gives everything context when planning and the satnav is a great navigation tool.

    Hiya Steve, hope all is good with you. You might remember me, I have exactly the same bike as you. Are you still enjoying the RT? I continue to really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Do you ever use hill assist? If so, do you find it a help? Anyway ride safe, and take care.

      @Steve-Clark-1200rt  Рік тому

      Hi Brian I use hill assist all the time, I use it like a handbrake though pull the brake to put it on and then pull the brake to release it. You can just rev a bit harder to automatically release but sometimes I'd forget and stall it 🙄 think it's a great option to have my friend. Ride safe
