Hi folks wasn't really going to release this video on here but with Fayes mic playing up she had very little useable footage so this was the next best thing , anyway back from a great weekends glamping on the cruisers on the island of Anglesey in North Wales but as happens on so many occasions the weather didn't quite play ball so in true British fashion we just cracked on regardless .
as always feel free to contact us .

Good to see the Oxford yellows on realy help you get seen,got ours for Scotland and was pleased how we stood out in the rain ,ride safe guys
Pro Tip: If you pop into your local LIDL, you can buy a pack of those disposable hand warmers / foot warmers that'll work for a few hours, pop inside your gloves & boots and it'll do in a pinch, they won't take up much space in a backpack or topbox etc!
Yeah Faye had them in her gloves .. luckily i get them free at work as i work outside 👍
Hi, I really enjoyed this vid, I have Keeway 125 and hope to get the 302 very soon, so thanks for a great insight.
It's an absolutely cracking bit of kit , just fast enough and handles a treat
Hi guys, So glad you both had a great trip, that trip to Anglesey brought back great memories' as i used scuba dive there in Trearrdur Bay, Bull bay , etc, when i was a member of the Cheshire police diving club, many years ago. i am talking early 90;s lol.
Absolutely stunning place isn't it and even better if u get the weather .. thanks for commenting 👍🏍
Wouldn't this be nice if the "His 'n Her's" cruiser thing became reality on all future ToT video realeases!
I find something good in all engine driven 2 wheelers, but my base love has always been for Cruisers.
These two here sure do make a good couple, just like the couple riding them do!
It's definitely been a surprising change from something a few years back i wouldn't of looked at
pity about the weather Shaun Anglesey is such a nice place when the weather is nice it's probably ten years since i was last there didn't relies it was that long till i watched the video but time goes so quick . great views from south stack it was also raining when i went with the family .👍👍
Yeah luckily it didn't get that bad where it wasn't enjoyable so will call it a win , south stack is stunning
penguin piss 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love those lit switches
Those back lit switches are amazing
😂 cold as penguin piss stealing that one 😅
thats better than "harder than woodpecker lips" 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Shaun, my experience is that heated gloves are significantly better than heated grips. The gloves warm your whole hand and it doesn't matter when you take your hand off the handle bars. I have the type that plug into the bike battery so I don't have to worry about batteries going flat. Most of the battery operated gloves I have seen only have a life of 4 to 6 hours depending on heat settings, this isn't long enough if you are out on tour or in a situation where you can't recharge them.
Yeah agree , been talking about getting heated gloves for donkeys years now just never seem to get round to it although will definitely have some for next winter
Took me a while to transition from sport touring to full cruiser bikes. The large floor boards compared to pegs, wow! Heel toe shifter, radio and all storage. I am older than Google so it is very fitting for me to be on big twin cruisers. Those bikes look more of what I would call 80s Muscle Bikes, nice looking machines.
Yeah it's been a real eye opener from something a few years ago i wouldn't of even looked at
I had an American RV for about 8 years. Loved it, stuck a small motorcycle on a rack on the back - as you say "living the dream". A mate of mine did the same on his. It was like a mobile apartment. As you have an HGV, look at getting a 26' American RV - they'll fit on most camp sites. The European Camper vans don't have the same level of luxury. If you go down the camper van route, there are a few things to think about:
*Water* - you never have enough and you'll have too much waste water. I carried an extra 25 litres in a jerrycan which lived in the shower when I wasn't showering.
*Electricity* - get a lot of solar panels (cover the entire roof) and have sufficient (Gel or Lithium) batteries and a pure sine wave inverter (Victron are the dogs dangly bits) of at least 3000w as "her indoors" will require a lot of power - DAMHIK. Do *_not_* get modified sine wave - some electronics don't work with them.
*Decent Awning* is a must - just get one. In the rain, somewhere dry to take your kit off. Somewhere to park your bike under at night. Somewhere to eat outdoors. Somewhere to just relax - the list is nearly endless as to why you need one - you'll understand when you have it.
*BBQ* don't argue - just get one. Gas if possible as charcoal takes a bit of cleaning - DAMHIK.
*Portable 12v & Mains Fridge* - a godsend for beer, white wine etc. I started with none and I now have two!!!!
*2 comfortable, reclining, lightweight outdoor chairs* preferably with beer holders in the armrests.
_Most of the stuff you take with you you'll never use!_ DAMHIK. The first time you go out, take what you think you need. When you get back, remove everything you didn't use. You'll probably never use it!
It's an absolute minefield isn't it , didn't realise how much i didn't know and needed to learn about campers/motorhomes ... thanks for the tips
@@TinsonTour If you're in France before you buy a camper van, let me know and we can meet up for a beer and some hints...
Just for a laff I bent the foot peg feelers on my shadow leaning
Yeah we've had the gs pegs down a few times all the fun of biking .. the exhaust on this would need changing if wanting to ride spirited as drags way to easy
Iridium Plugs will sort out the slow speed running.
It's just the fuelling , a better mapping update would work wonders
Great footage as always, that’s where I grew up before moving to Cheshire , safe riding 🏍️🏍️🏍️
It's a stunning area ... love it there
Not Interested in getting old(61) just gone from a GS to an S1000XR! Or maybe I’m just daft!
The cruiser thing looks interesting, tho! I deffo, can’t do without my heated grips, tho! 🙂
Me neither but after owning 38 bikes just feeling maybe it's time for a change although the gs isn't going anywhere yet
As cruisers go ,it seems ok , the only thing I am not keen on is the stubby rear end & the bitza mudguard come reg plate holder . I reckon it would look better with a proper rear mudguard & number plate holder . Also I the only time I felt comfortable feet forward , was when riding a twist & rip maxi scooter , it feels weird on a motorcycle ,especially when operating the gear & rear brake foot levers . Shame about the weather ,but if we only ride bikes in the warm dry weather in the U.K. , we would hardly get to ride at all .I might treat myself to some of that bright Oxford rain kit myself , looks the business . 👍
Funny how personal taste differs which is a good thing , i love the stubby back end although not that practical .... we tend to wear hi viz clothing in winter just for that extra bit of safety
@@TinsonTour That sort of stubby rear end & bitza mudguard seems to be the fashion at present . I reckon it’s due to motorcycle factory’s ,employing too many gamer nerds in their design departments . At one time I wouldn’t of be seen dead in bright yellow bike gear ,as we all thought it looked naff . Now we are older we have more sense & can see it’s benefit ,of being able to be seen ,especially in poor light & cloudy rainy conditions . 👍
Lovely vid again kid o 😊
Cheers pal
Hi Shaun + Faye hope your both well, I wonder what the hold up was at the Conwy tunnel all the years going up and down the A55 never stopped at the tunnel, I have been twice when the shut down one of the tunnels down to two way traffic. shame about your day to South Stack with the weather, I love Trearddur Bay. Enjoy your beers and your hot tub catch you both soon Take care
Yeah never found out what the issue was but tbh it didn't hold us back to much
Lumpiness could well disappear as you get past 1st service and the engine relaxes with a bit of mileage done.
Think it's more of a characteristic of the engine but yes quite possibly 👍
Would you not go for the BMW r18? It has mid pegs and you can get them with all the goodies on them like panniers, a screen etc? Or be bold and get a rocket 3. 😄
Already done the r18 ... tbh with a decent rider (obviously not me ) this would destroy it
@@TinsonTour tbf though it's a cruiser not a track bike. 😂 Thing that worries me with this is that it's a new brand (how long will it last) and there's zero aftermarket parts for them. Looks the part though. 👍
See you ended it just as Faye was taking the lead and beating you back for the first beer.😏
Haha yeah she can't get the hotub lit quick enough
Cold beer in a hot tub on a crisp night what more can you ask for.@@TinsonTour
When are you getting your his and hers leather vests and Tins on tour gang patches. Although i dont think its that style of cruiser.
Already ordered 🤣
@@TinsonTour There's a cruiser group up here in Southport I see every summer but I think you can take over their turf. Think less Sons of Anarchy and more Grandads of mild disruption.
Sean maybe try the rebel 1100, that as a much more mid foot peg position..
Took 1 out a couple of weeks back but gotta be honest this is miles better in my opinion
Would’ve thought that beast would be fitted with heated grips
Yeah definitely would of benefited from heated grips
I'm looking for a crusier but I'm lost can't make my mind up
Yeah lots to choose from isn't there
Not sure about the luminous 😂
Us neither 👍
About your weight Shaun, ive lost 2st 4lbs since November using HUEL. It's a plant based drink. Just an idea
Do pubs have it on draft ? ... haha my mate has lost some timber with Huel
Anglesey is stunning...where did you stay ? I stayed at Bull Bay in the North of the island. It was in May, sunny and around 20'C all week ...🤣🤣🤣 Yellow viz on Motorways / fast A roads if you're not doing 80mph for the win! 🙂Don't be 'dissing' Faye for trying to Rainex the visors.... Shame on you.🙂
We stopped in Brynteg but toured all round , as for rain ex don't even go there haha that's why i usually do it 🤣
