Күн бұрын

I wanted to make a video to help some people thinking of buying or who have just bought their first adventure motorcycle. These are all the upgrades I have done so far and how much they cost.
Some things I laid out the cash and others I went for the budget option. I hope this helps you guys.
Prices may vary as some of the gear I bought was cheaper depending which country I bought in.

Thanks for the info, some of those I would defo do. Just one small thing, the video cuts? You don’t need those, it’s to frantic and to rushed.

Great to see our panniers are still on the bike. One thing to note, is not every business has the same business model. For example we sell direct to our customers with no middle men, meaning we don't have to inflate our prices to pay for additional distribution channels, marketing etc. We sell direct to the customers ensuring they get big brand quality without the big brand price. A high price tag doesn't always = quality. Keep riding and making excellent videos and thanks for trusting Lomo :)

Thanks Heaps! I have had the bags on the bike non-stop since I made the review (6 months). And they have help up great. My original gripe about needing more strap length was fixed by routing it differently on the back. Really love these things. I was planning on buying the Givi hard cases, but these bags just kept holding up and lasting and being awesome. So I haven’t looked back.

Good stuff. I’m interested in why the lights are so important?

@AmericanAbroad1 Жыл бұрын

Good question. Most obvious is when riding at night. I rode with these light to colorado is dead of summer. So a lot of our longer rides we did early morning. There were elk and deer all over the roads. At some points we were tip toeing in and out of elk at 3am. It was insane. These lights kept me from possibly slamming into them. LESS OBVIOUS: 1. I ride them at 20% during the day (set on canbus system) I often had cars pulling In front of me and not seeing me. Makes me way more noticeable. So safety feature. Not an100% fix from dumb drivers, but it helps. 2. At night it helps people differentiate from a car far away. Triangulation effect to help cars tell it’s a motorcycle. I explain this better on my videos ok GS upgrades. Ride safe!

Just bought this bike for 10.000 swiss francs with 70.000km on it but it looks like new condition. I went with it because i know this engine can last a lifetime and probably i will sell it before the motor dies. I’ll have maybe some questions anyway very nice channel and i love how you talk about things you explain. Where do you live?
