Hey! I loved the video and I'm considering buying this bag. I have a quick question-do you think it would fit a motorcycle boot (specifically the Alpinestars KTM SMX-6 V2), which is 13.2 inches (33 cm) tall? I'd like to be able to ride with the boots on and then carry them in the bag when I'm at work or the gym. Thanks!

Thanks for showing this. I ride the 1250rs and was wondering if my next bike could be a gs. It looks like it could be. 1 question are the bars and mirrors the same width as the engine? As long as my mirrors go through which are the width of the engine I'm fine. Thanks again

Just got an R-Dynamic V6. It’s crazy quick and sounds amazing. It’s impossible to drive it without laughing at all the noises. The wife has taken to calling it “poppy”, which I didn’t like at first, but turns out-she dead 💀 right.

Hey, I have 2017 Bmws1000r Stock. I have bought a dominator mid piple/decat. I am going to cut the muffler/cat with a milwakee thin metal cutter. I will slap on the the dominator mid pipe and leave the stock akra exhaust on. Any thoughts on this do I need a tune/dyno after this change. Also, can I just leave the servo cables hanging somewhere/tucked away would it turn on the check engine light?

Don’t bother with these they throw off your pressure sensor for the air in your tires and you will get a red light plus you will start losing the air in your tires

Regards luggage space , it is tight but I bought the purpose made luggage and we toured in Europe for two weeks at a time with no problems, I did change the cooling hoses under the supercharger due to leaks and replaced the coolant reservoir, thought it was a great car , I don’t understand your comment about not getting the sports car experience at all , that’s what it is , however I exchanged for a 5 litre R AWD coupe and it’s the best jag I’ve ever owned and I’ve had all of the sports marques over the years

The F Type in general is a beautiful car. You can not be wrong buying one, except the 4-Cylinder, which is an offense. Forget about price and fuel consumption just for a moment. If you solely follow your emotions how would you decide? I always wanted a V6S and finally bought a V8.

Yes, speed cameras, in one instance are there for the safety of the individual drivers on the road but the underlying main objective is money in the pockets of the council or the Government, Its like Dick Turpin stand and delivery your cash this is all a moneymaking racket .

Just bought myself a white XE R Performance, with the black pack (gloss black grille, wheels, badging) 240 BHP Petrol, fully loaded with the pan roof, sound system etc - absolute amazing car! So fast, so comfortable, great quality inside - only gripe is the arm rest for your right arm as it’s too low on the door - it’s amazing!!

I have the same jacket with the trousers. Never had a problem with any water ingress. If you use the wind collar and fully close zip fasteners you wont get any water ingress into the jacket pockets on the inside. Ive used mine in all weathers, its hot in the summer even with the vents all open and liner removed, but great for the other three seasons in the UK. Rukka kit is awesome. I still have my old Goretex drop liner Rukka outfit from early 2000's. Still works a treat especially for summer and even through really bad downpours.

Just bought an XE P250 Dynamic Sport, 2.5 years old, wanted red but more rare than hens teeth, so settled for my second choice a brilliant white with 23,767 miles on the clock. Love it to bits!! It's smooth, effortless to drive, beautifully weighted and precise steering with very comfortable seats. Being the revised and upgraded model the interior is now much improved. Dislikes? Yes the rear seating is a bit cramped, but I knew that when I bought it. Just my wife and plus the occasional grandchild so not a deal breaker. No heated seats, let alone a heated steering wheel, disappointed! No drivers handbook!!!😡 It is quite a complex car with lot of electronics to get your head around. Yes I know you can download it on to your tablet, phone or laptop BUT it ain't the same as having an actual handbook!! Sat in the car tablet in hand , ignition on but by the time you have found what I wanted to swat up on my tablet, the ignition timed out so switched it back on, found what operation I wanted to learn about and my tablet had timed out!!plus it was a very bright sunny day so reading my tablet was tricky!!😡😡😂 Hey ho, I'm getting there, slowly but surely!!😂😂

They do a wonderful job of trapping water/moisture around the wheels edge leading to rust/deterioration of the alloy surface.

Jag need to 'refine' and define the drivers cockpit (ie plastic (lego-like_ steering wheel plastic button controls /dashboard etc. It is meant to be a prestige car. Their designers need to take their heads out of the sand. Personal positive point, the Jag is a well bred refined car in all other areas....and not at all 'ostentatious and loud' ("Look at me , I'm here!") kind of 'compensating' car like many. But that why on a ratio the 'majority' of XE owners are the more established mature types opposed to the 'boy-racer' types.

Good review mate. Put all that effort into hiding the reg at the front and then show it on the back 😅 hoping to get one of these at the end of the year. CANNOT WAIT!! Will likely put an eco map on it and empty the DPF out too 😉

There's nothing at all outdated about no new F-Type.If you want to see outdated,I wish my 2013 XKR comes with F-Type interior and you had XK interior from 2007 and you could express your love of saying something is outdated then with an infotainment screen like a sega genesis.I seen F-Types interior and it's newer and better than most new cars that come out that's almost as good as Mercedes interior.

What happens if the tire gets flat and they have to take the tire off the rim. That's to much work to put that strip back in & the person fixing your tire may not know how to do it or want to do it & will charge you extra

There’s no reason except $ to get a V6. The V8 is about the same weight. The V8 also gets better mpg @ 34 since the ZF8 is geared so much longer, but it takes more discipline to achieve. Another reason to get the V8 is the larger SC pulley can be made smaller, the V6 pulley is already as small as possible to squeeze more out of the SC from the factory. So with the crank pulley change too, the V8 can be boosted very conservatively by 5 psi, the V6 can only be boosted 3.5 psi. You can also put a lithium iron racing battery in either car, and remove the start/stop battery and it’s bracket to save 67 lbs.
