- I head up to Dundee to meet Bruce, Teapot One and the Clan for an amazing day riding together, it really was the best day motorcycling ever. Awesome company, brilliant roads, and the mega BMW M1000XR. Want to join the Clan? Then checkout Bruce's channel. / @teapotone and his website: teapotone.com/
This is why I settled in Scotland many years ago, unfortunately don't ride anymore, but the A68 used to be my favourite trip from Leuchars to Yorkshire and family. Thanks for sharing.
The roads are so much better there than here en the East of England.
Nice vid - I’m a new member of the clan and have a 2021 XR. Looking forward to coming to a clan meet. Also the MXR looks the nuts. Is that a BMW helmet? looks great with the bike.
Looka like a fantastic ride! So many incredible, quiet and empty roads in Scotland
It really is!
Lovely trip Martyn, I'm not used to the sound of a multi cylinder engine having a single and a V twin but it sounded fruity :) I see you have a magic speedo that blurs above Quixty my RE Himalayan doesn't have one of those but the Vstrom 1000 does :)
With all the motorised transport, coffee cake and good eating you'll be needing a humble bicycle to help you shed a few pounds :)
Cheers Sandy, it was not a weekend for dieting or healthy living that’s for sure. However I have been making up for it this weekend on the push bike, check out my personal Facebook page. All the best.
Great video it was a great weekend glad your home safe 🎉
Cheers Dale, c u at another Clan weekender.
Stunning roads, done them many times on my GSs, but must show them to the present Multi….off to west coast late September😀.
Late September should be perfect, enjoy the trip on the very best of roads.
You can’t beat Scottish roads, especially when they’re dry! 👍
We were very lucky with the mostly dry weather. Cheers and thanks for commenting.
Hiya are you still on the laviler 2. Sounds great!
Brilliant ride, great team, huge massive bikes and a brilliant rout. ..Enjoy.
Please share your handle bar mirrors to buy link.
Cheers, bar mirrors are standard on my bike.
@@FenTour Thank you
Great video it looks like you had a ball on your MXR ,did your sat nav freeze up on you ?
I’ve had the same problem on my MXR when I went to Assen for the Moto GP in June. Asked my local dealer about it freezing up and they said they not heard of any problems with them .
Have you been back to your dealer about the problem? Keep the good videos coming,
It’s not the bike but the nav, does exactly the same on my R1250GS so probably a glitch in the software hopefully an update will sort it at some point but my software is currently up to date. Or are you and I unique with the issue?
I never realised the M-1000XR was restricted❗️❗️🤣😘
Needs a better and maybe madder rider than me to use the full beans on this! Haha
How's the seat on a long ride. I test rode a 2020 XR and found it "challenging" on the rear after an hour, so settled for a GS instead. Love the look of the M XR so very tempted though....
Very comfortable, but not as good as a GS. As you can see in this vid after 300+ miles my backside was getting fed up! But
@@FenTour thanks. Guess now i just need to arrange a test ride. Could be costly 😂
@@andtip make sure you go out for a long test ride, the standard seat slopes forward so bollox can hit the tank when breaking hard.
As i use my XR for commute, i need luggage (laptop, ...). I have the 3 panniers, but that is to much. What is the brand/model of the soft luggage U use?
This is the BMW large bag that is in the MXR configurator, I configured it when I ordered the bike and very happy.
Can I ask the insurance premium for that fantastic beast? I Hear that is is ridiculous especially in the south east where I live. I have a feeling even if the outlay for the bike itself is manageable the yearly insurance would make it beyond justifiable, to the GLW at least.
Over £500, thats a lot of money considering my other bikes are mostly way less to insure.
Nice vid 👍🏼
What tour was this?
In the group, is it a ‘spirited’ ride?
What is someone was not as keen on going at a faster pace, same applies for someone wanting to ride at a more brisk pace?
Orderly queue, no overtaking within the group etc?
Genuinely interested, thank you
One needs to choose rides that you are comfortable with, this was the TeapotOne Clan weekend, so Patreon members only, most riders in the group are good and relatively fast. For a more chilled out ride I would always suggest a group that does not allow any overtaking, such as we do in the HOG rides, slower and safer in general.
@@FenTour thank you.
A machine that does 170 mph what is the point ?
Sorry didn’t make that clear it’s is the nav at fault II think as I had 10 minute stop ,set off again and the nav was still at the services 😂 but can’t fault the bike 👍
Exactly, had that happen 4-5 times now. Annoying…
Them parking spots are getting soo boring now, all them gs, theres hardly anything nice to look at
Indeed was mostly GSs in attendance…
