Maintaining it, compared to other bikes, or because it had the chrome tank? I have a chrome (the Mk 2 paint job) too.

@@RichardParsons65 the crome not the bike's or the manufacturer's fault rain humidity it gets specks of rusts,, and people touching it and leaving prints,, it's a continental gt btw

Conti GT in chrome is my dream bike. Is it really that hard to mantain the tank? Is it easy to rust? I live near the beach

@@MrWebon I was exaggerating a bit, where I live, it rains alot plus humidity so it's a bit more work,,, it's not that bad

I have the same Ventura blue interceptor without tank pads. How do you like the pads? Any criticism of them? Or are they good? 😊

@@CanadaSims I really like the pads. No issues. Look good. Hard part is to align them the same on both sides. My OCD would not allow them to be different. You get one chance with the adhesive. If you get it wrong, you will have to apply some 3M spray adhesive or something equivalent so you get a nice even application. Ask me how I know.

@@maintenanceman3024 hehehe

​@@maintenanceman3024how do you know😆?

@@maintenanceman3024 yes indeed i noticed the adhesive was a bit amateurish, ive already removed the excess. but they did get them square.

definitely thinking about a more throaty exhaust, and the bar ends. i may look at some second-hand standard exhaust and look to remove the baffles, no idea yet how easy that is, but there seem to be plenty of secondhand ones cheap on ebay to play with.

il look into the side stand from hitchcocks, thanks for the info

hi nigel i use a mix of cameras, i use a first model osmo action camera on the handlebars facing me, i also use that sometime on a gorilla pod to quickly attach to stuff on the side of roads to get some passing shots. i use a osmo action 3 on the helmet, mainly because of the quick release mount system, which is really convenient . i also have a gopro hero 8 black but ive slowly stopped using that.All my walk round stuff i use the osmo pocket 3 with the dji mic 2 or the DJI mic 1 with the two mics when talking to people. i tend to put one of those mics on my back attached to my belt to get engine sound when doing bike review, then just sync that at editing time. i may do an how do i video later in the year, so people can see my process. regards paul

@theartisanrider472 Thank you for explaining that , Paul. As yet, I haven’t got in to recoding ride outs but would like to this summer (assuming we have the odd day!). I don’t want to go top end stuff but looking forward to your later review on the same subject.

hi its a comparison episode il be filming and uploading in the next 4 weeks all being well. im going to be interested to see if the extra money required to buy the triumph is a justified expense if your just looking for a good retro to spend time on and enjoy owning.

il be doing a direct comparison with a newish t100 , il swap with the owner to do a double comparison from owners if that makes sense, will post in next month or so. il be interested to see the difference.

I’ll be interested to see that.
