Royal Enfield Bullet 500: Over the Conor Pass!
Рет қаралды 12,250
Күн бұрынFinishing off this summer 2023's videos is a ride over the Conor Pass in County Kerry, before heading back home to Kilkenny! Bit of a wet summer in Ireland, really, so I didn't get out quite as much as I'd have liked to! But rest assured there should be a few more videos over the quieter next few months, as Daisy and myself tackle more local roads. 😁 In the meantime, thanks for coming along for the ride over the summer! I hope you had bluer skies and sunnier days yourself, and i'll talkcha in the next one after, bye!

Such lush beauty! Oh and 1,400' above sea level? I wish! Here in southwestern USA, I live at 5,000' MSL....my poor Bullet loses 18% horsepower. I would feel like I had a supercharger installed were I to magically transport myself and my bike over the pond. Loving your travels, my bullet brother.

Nice one Brendan, we call them cagers because they're stuck in a cage, like in a jail and we are out side and free (to fly over bonnets?). Just spectacular views, you're very fortunate to live near them. I'm so excited to be looking at a couple of bullet 500's for sale tomorrow. There aren't many left on the market now.

Really interesting tour, thanks. Different feel to riding on a clear dry day but the dampness does bring out the rugged nature of the rocks as you went through the Pass-Pass. BTW having got a glimps of your boots as you climbed the waterfall they are the sort of thing I've been looking for. Do you mind telling us the brand and how you get on with them? Cheers
@BulletWanderer 11 ай бұрын
Cheers JRM! The boots are a pair of Stylmartin Yurok boots my dad got me for Christmas just gone, after the last boots I had started to fall apart in Austria summer 2022 😆 They're a nice sturdy boot it must be said, comfy too! The sole definitely felt thicker than my previous Oxford boots at first, but thats where those boots failed so its good to have a bit more sturdiness to them there. I'll be making a video going over what I bring when i'm touring on the Bullet, might go through my motorcycle gear in it too, cheers for the idea 👍

I can see that you do as I do when I'm out riding my 2018 Classic 500 - checking the blinker. We don't wanna leave the blinker on when we are not going to turn do we? Many thanks for letting me ride with you on a wonderful trip on a curvy road and in a beautiful landscape where they make tasty black beer. Oh and I just subscribed to your channel, it's great!
@BulletWanderer 10 ай бұрын
It's a bad habit, and it takes me months to shake it, but then I'll be riding with someone and they'll accidentally leave theirs on (or tell me I have!), and i'm back at checking the blinker every 30 seconds again 😂 Cheers Tompas! 🍻

Good man yourself 😁 I use a GoPro Hero 11/GoPro Hero 8 (Carry the two with me and swap em when one's battery dies) with a MediaMod (you'll need that to plug in a microphone, unfortunately). I plug a Rode Lavalier Mic into the GoPro for audio, which is secured into the helmet with good old duct tape 😂 The GoPro is mounted onto the chin of the helmet. But i'll do you one better, i'll make a video going over my motovlogging setup soon.

I have a RE 500 classic of similar vintage. Why do your mirrors not vibrate into invisibility? I cannot ride mine for more than an hour without numb hands, ass and feet.
@BulletWanderer 2 ай бұрын
Ha! They used to, until I broke the left mirror at some point travelling through the alps 😅 When I got home I ordered a pair of these from Hitchcocks: accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/mirrors/11589 Not as pretty as the stock mirrors, but still look fine, and as you see, don't vibrate into invisibility 😂 I think its cos there's less weight, and a smaller ball joint/stem leading to the mirror. Would recommend if the stock mirrors are bugging you!
