Thanks, man.

My brother has three. I have wondered in the past couple of months how long it will be....

@@throttle_up I can't fit any more bikes in the garage 😫

Not too cringe, then? 😅

@@throttle_up Not at all.

I'm very glad you liked the video. It means a lot to me when people leave comments.

I totally understand that point of view.

@@throttle_up 🤣🤣 Yeah, that's a bit rich.... you both need to sort yourselves out. 🤣🤣 I don't want to wait another six months for the next part of this.

It has only been six months.

Thank you for the compliments. Audio is something I've always struggled with. (Check out my earliest vids for proof of that). I think the first thing I did was to care about it. (And I know you appreciate that). That made me go and learn. I was fortunate enough to come late enough to the game to benefit from using DaVinci Resolve as my editing suite. It has a ton of features and a really healthy tutorial community on YT. So that software is a vital piece of the setup. The only mic I've used throughout is a Purple Panda lavalier. One thing I have never done is wire it up to a camera. At first I plugged it into a cheap mobile phone, but that didn't have a proper input gain, so I bought a Tascam audio recorder which I carry in my pocket. Set the levels at -12db, press record and it'll keep going all day. I also now have a DJI radio mic kit whose transmitters can be used in the same way, and they are small enough to be clipped onto the inside of my summer mesh jacket. The Tascam is too big for that. Even with all that, though, wind noise is still a problem. Even with all the EQ, compression, noise reduction that Resolve offers, it all still needed one final thing - spending a bit more money. I bought an audio plugin which uses a machine-learning powered Voice Isolation feature. And then, of couse, Black Magic Design incorporated the same kind of feature into the Studio version of Resolve, and that was even better, so I bought that too. The clarity of comms is something of a cheat. My brother and I shared each others' audio recordings. :-) But trust me, I still spend hours in post on the audio. Just one last tweak.... I'm hugely uplifted at the thought that you have subscribed - it means a great deal because I can see the effort you put into your vids. I've found motivation for editing somewhat short in supply recently. This has really helped. Oh, and I've been a subscriber of yours for a few months now. ;-)

Reiten Motorrad in Suffolk is where I go. CO10 7QU Although that particular RT was sold some time ago.

That's something I hadn't thought of. Thanks.

I always appreciate constructive criticism as I learn this KZfaq malarky. It's a shame the video left you feeling disappointed. I guess my style is not for everyone.

Haha - the sound recording solution I was using at the time probably didn't help. And the engine sounded much better after the first service. So a year on, I think my biggest disappointment with the tech is that the nav software is not on the bike; it's on a phone app. And it has been no end of trouble.

@@throttle_up sorry I meant to say you did a great review, very informative. I find my car asks me too many questions and advises me of too much before I even mentally release the imaginary handbrake. And there's some sort of EU mandated no doubt online account it tells me my credentials are out of date for which requires a lot of cancelling and back buttoning before I can enjoy the infotainment. I spent time trying to alert it to the voice recognition of nazi gobshite instead of hey bmw and that term is on a banned database in Munich somewhere evidently as Zis Ees Not Permitted! Are you keeping her it must be an incredible ride all that aside. 👍

@@throttle_up oh and my car is parked the other side of the wall from the router and it responding to the app is pot luck. Oh and it needed brake pads on 1st March 2002 and has insisted on it in it's 30 month miserable life. I'm waiting for the day it refuses to move because somehow the EU has directed a non grey car mandatory stay at home day to save heat and virus transmission

I only say all this because i love bikes and they've turned an accomplished machine into a bureaucratic nightmare

@@miles-thesleeper-monroe8466 Well, no bureaucracy on the bike so far - I just had a 12 month service 3 months late (unavoidably), and although it nagged me it was no issue. Whether I keep it or not will depend on whether a future model has on-board satnav, and comes in red. I loved the Mars Red on the 2018 model. The blue is nice, but the red was far better.

Totally agree

I'm about to upload nav vid Part two...

Thanks. I found I had issues doing that too - the response to the wonder wheel was very slow. New nav vid incoming however...

Thanks. Sorry it has been a while, but a new vid is about to upload. Great profile name by the way. I wonder if Napoleon Solo is taken?

@@throttle_up I look forward to your newest video.

Well, you know you have committed to making a video about it now, don't you?

I stand corrected. Thanks!

I'm a programmer. I don't like the sound of that. :-)

I've not had any trouble with the screen itself. But I guess there are always teething troubles with new kit.

I notice you mention you kitted that RR out as a touring bike. I guess you figured out the next logical step. :-) Are you going to make some vids showing the new bike off?
