    3 degrees... Rough man, that's just brutal... Excellent idea gathering up some footage for the winter months ahead. Appreciate the shout-out and love what you are doing here. I watch a bunch of channels and enjoy the variety of motorcycles. You're my Kawasaki guy. 😂 Stay safe and warm over there!!! See you on the next video of yours.

      @thesilverfoxtravels6653 Yeah I hear ya, I've been looking at a heated under jacket, but I'd be uesing it when as you say grit & salt are being put down, & it just fits the bike, If you have an ATV it's possible to continue I guess , but not for me

    Yeah this cold weather is brutal, my fingers haven’t recovered two hours later! I’ve had winter riding gloves and inner thermal gloves & they still were in agony after 25 minutes.
    Not sure if you’ve tried XCP Rust blocker?Been very nicely surprised!

      Yeah don't fancy riding without my heated handgrips, I've done my share of winter riding in East Sussex when younger, I could feel the cold in my hands just reading your description haha. No I haven't tried that rust blocker. Thanks for the tip. Cheers

    I used to have a tracker on my old SV650 that always drained the battery if I didn't use it for a week. I ended up fitting a trickle charger lead under the back seat because getting to the battery was a pain. Also I didn't stall it was just a prank.........Heres an idea, smell cancelling nosebuds? I think theres a gap in the market!

      Hahaha we all know the truth, Yeah I've got a trickle charge lead installed now with a CTEK mxs 5 charger going, I'm just glad it was an easy fix , Definitely a market for something like that, egg farters & snot sniffers on a morning bus journey make me want to unalive people 🤣

    How cold does it get? Wait just answered that. 🥶
    Is it a difficult process to get your bike out of storage? Could you get in a ride if you get a random good day for riding? Nevermind. You just answered that too. 😂
    Thanks for the shout out!! It’s cool to see our moto channels grow together.

    😂😂😂 “typical BMW driver”

    • @SwenglishSteve650
      @SwenglishSteve650  2 дні тому +1

      @revfree Thanks for looking in man, appreciate it, Yeah typical, cut across 2 lanes with no indication, not a biggie, but standard, Ive seen that driver before, he actually stopped on that very roundabout once causing me to break while cornering, then just drove off, so gave him distance this time,
      Not my best vid as it's so dark, the last ride this season as the weather gets way to harsh here for my old bones, anyway I've done my fair share of winter riding through the year's, so know I'm not missing much, Cheers

      @ I’ll ride down to about 40 degrees F (4.4 Celsius) but don’t like to ride for long when it’s below 50 degrees F (10 degrees Celsius) if i can help it. It’s good to get out when you’re feeling cooped up but I feel like even when you have heated gear the extreme cold can make riding pretty dangerous. Hopefully
      We will survive watching UA-cam for the winter 😂😂
