Sunday bedtime viewing once again 😂 I spent the day hooning around the Peak District on my 1290 and it's good watching you enjoy the Lakes... And who doesn't love a wholesome video with childish pops and burbles from an exhaust 🎉

Enjoyed that series mate. Fair play to Emma following you in the car. Bet you got a bollocking after the camera was off for the 2nd go over Hardknott? 😂 Agree with your thoughts on travel by motorbike. It is the best way to experience a journey. The 1290 makes it even better. Especially 3rd gear power wheelies.

Haha thanks! I was surprised I didn't, she was too busy gloating that she was a "f**king master at driving" 😂 Yeah its genuinely been the best purchase I've made! Power wheelies, 250-300 miles from a tank, heated seats and exhaust pops 😂

Great vid again thanks Sam. I was ducking and weaving watching that 360 camera scrape past those hedges and walls 😉 I'm very fortunate to live "up north" and the lake district certainly is gods playground. I can highly recommend Hartside Pass (A686) next time you're up this way.

I’m fortunate to live relatively close to The Lakes and I’ve done Hardknott & Wrynose on many occasions during the last twenty years or so. It’s interesting on a Bank Holiday, beautiful on a sunny day and challenging on a wet winters day. If you ever venture up this neck of the woods again, be sure to visit Wastwater which is just a few miles further on from the Woolpack Inn where you turned around after doing Hardknott the first time. 👍

Can only say mate, you're doing hardknott the easy way buddy. I have to agree with Emma, Cumbria looks different every day. I love it round there. I need to do those passes again as I've not done them this year yet. Doing it in the dark is good fun. You should come back in August and tackle it from west to east when camper vans are trying to tackle it. That's a challenge!

Haha! Was great to do it both ways! I loved being able to do it with no other cars. I think we saw one other car on the whole thing which is great! Wouldn't like to do it with a load of other drivers there.. especially knowing some of those rental camper van drivers won their driving license from a cereal box 😂

Great video. Is this the future? Artistic and informative. Hats off to Emma for driving the passes. I have done both on a bike as well as in a car (not at the same time) and she done good. It’s better in Summer at 5:00am as the light is so different and no other nutters are up at that time. Glad you seem to enjoy your trip.

Great vid Sam, stunning colours! Any issues running the bike in rally mode with the msr set to one ? ( I would have thought you’d be getting lots of wheel spin ? ) Also how did you rate the Michelin Anakees vs the Pirelli scorpion str’s ?
@SamVBikes Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Nope no issues at all! Was really surprised as I'd have thought the tyres would slip but it was solid all the way up! Tyre wise... They are both very good, both handle the same off-road. The Anakee Advs are smoother on the road, with less road noise. The Scorpion Rally STRs might handle slightly better but very very close! Same kind of mileage out of them although the STRs square off quick. Either are great though!
