Oh nothing against you. Post more, nothing I like more than a little rant against a clueless idiot, in this case him!

Honda has reliability as it's main strength in regards to their image, it's what most people value in a Honda more than other brands be it if it's real or not. That video is exactly what they don't want after loaning some twat a bike. Then again, that's the guy who put in chavvy lights on the back of his bonneville then when on eBay to buy a second hand unit to put back in to make it look classy and stylish. What a wanker! You better suggest better videos next time!

Had lunch with my former father in law today, bit of shopping for food and taking the car to the MOT thing through a monsoon. A brief 15 minutes sunny interval between heavy rains made the streets feel like an episode of CSI Miami Just want to be quiet by myself for a little, and feeling sad, am thinking the evening will be watching a movie with a nice bottle of wine.

I think it's the difference instead of how impressive and big it is, Europe countryside just looks historic and quaint to them.

I wonder what's the incentive for Honda or other makers to give him bikes to "test". It's not like he gives any bikes credibility. Is it a case of "no such thing as bad exposure"?

Rain storms blowing over so won´t feel inclined to get on the bike. Will probably just go for a rainy stroll with Costa in the morning, then watch it rain outside and a quiet time by myself watching tv. Might have a drink on saturday.

Only a twat puts a quad lock on the mirror stalk with all that available handlebar, too. Can't wait for the next video

Good thing he didn´t buy that bike. He would be starting a thread to ask whether he should just return the new motorcycle to the main dealer because he had lost all faith in it.

The man is a walking drama queen.

Top quality video right there, dramatic. I like when he looks to the skies in search of an answer. Twat!

Our property tax is paid by anyone that owns any real estate, based on the value of it. Who owes it are the owners, not the residents, similar to car tax. I supposed it was the same thing, except it's not. The local or regional things are divided and added to the utility bills.

Is council tax the same as property tax that you pay for any property ownership?

I heard they get women too! Fucking immigrants!

Looks nice and cozy ... from here.

If the internet never stops it means it keeps going on sunday. Why don't you take advantage of the weather and go out when it's nice instead of leaving it to sunday?

Of somebody can out noisy them, it must be you!

Open big views from the top, canyons on the bottom, lovely!

No, talking about the orange bits behind those plastic ones. Would look nice in either flat plastic or painted the same as the fronts.

Doing something about the rear panels too?

You’ve got no idea @Marcel, it’s insane! They also wait and everyone gives people space and right of way while people patiently drive about. Makes no sense!

Use the same stickers but fill in the 1290 in white or orange. The original stickers you’ve got will look nice on a nice deep metallic black.

I watched the Morocco trip to see if I recognized places, and I did a few. He did a big drama about looking at the Sahara and basically didn´t approach any interesting places, rode on main roads most of the time. On that video he was quite relieved that the fail was the plug coming off as that's easily fixed as he had done before On that Morocco trip he was alone, and did a lot of the stopping to ride back and film himself stuff, I envy his dedication as doing that in warm weather must be hell. Then curiosity got the better of me and watched a few other videos, to then see always a big drama about the next big trip and events with a failing bike due to his own poor maintenance. I dislike the guy, he poses and models too much in his videos and makes his motorcycling bigger than it is, but in his defense it's pretty easy for me to dislike someone

Easy enough to have beautifully done in black, then.

Is the orange painted on or sticker, Marcel? Individual plastic panels or part of the tank itself?

That was the issue the bike had before the Morocco trip. Plug came off when running, he tightened it and went to Morocco and back, then came it off again returning home, they should have taken that head off and fixed that or replace the head, ignoring an issue like that for thousands of km is probably what killed the engine. Destroying a plug thread probably operator error too? Seems unlikely it destroyed itself. The guy is a twat, but it does take some work to film the kind of movies he does by himself. Riding ahead to set a camera, then riding back to look like he's arriving at the location for the first time, then trying to pose around while talking, then riding off before coming back to pick the camera up.
