      Hi Steve, many thanks for the comment, yes it's been too long since I've done any UA-cam videos! I sold the Blackbird two years ago. TBH I've had so much going on, divorce, moving house, my UA-cam videos have taken a back seat! I'm currently riding a Honda NT1100, my 3rd bike since selling the Blackbird! I'll have to dust off my cameras and create some more videos, I promise to keep them shorter! 🤣

    Unfortunatley I can't comment on the bike as I've never owned one. But looking at it I wish I had one. It's a beautifull looking bike for sure, and I presume its FAST. Very interesting how they have come up with the ribbon to take away heat from the lamps. Nice bike and I wish you many great rides ahead. Thanks for sharing.

    • @Hinckley_Biker
      @Hinckley_Biker 5 місяців тому

      Indeed a stunning looking bike, the later ones have much improved handling and the latest tech too, the lighting upgrade was a vast improvement but I was constantly being flashed by drivers even though I'd lowered the beams as much as I could, I think a dedicated headlight lens was required to focus the light? Thank you for your comment 👍

    There may have been traffic but you soon got past them and looks like you were enjoying every pass. Does have a nice sound reminds me of my Honda CBR 650F I had a couple of years ago ago. Had to px it for a more comfortable ride as tingling fingers and aching back on long rides were not good for me. Stay safe.

    • @Hinckley_Biker
      @Hinckley_Biker 5 місяців тому

      Yes I was going a bit 'brain out'!! One of my fave stretches of road, the Kawasaki Z1000SX was a lovely bike but I wasn't keen on the handling, it was very reluctant to turn in. I've had five different bikes since this video, it's time I started doing some vlogs again, my last bike was a BMW R1250RT, I loved this bike, then a nice lady driver decided to enter a traffic island without looking! The bike was written off because the frame was damaged, so I have just purchased a NT1100, the bike isn't in my possession yet, it is still with the dealer, it should be with me in the next couple of days 🤞 thank you for the comment, stay safe!!

    In andorra skiing. And spotted the girl in the black outfit that was in our group in Niederau. Had to search through old photos to find her. Couldn't place which ski group I knew her from. Can't recall her name can you? Hope all good with you, haven't found a place outside of Niederau and kaprun that ski morning and afternoon. My skiing hasn't improved much more I don't think. Still leaning back a bit. In top group now but don't think that means much from looking at others around me. Pity no one has a gopro to see for myself

    Hi mate, Just found your channel. Also a Z1000sx owner / vlogger in the UK here. I'm really interested in your seat. I don't suffer as much as you did. takes me about 100 miles of straight roads until I'm uncomfortable. but I do like the look of your seat combined with that rear pillion cowl. Also converted my headlights to LEDs, but I went to the BI conversion so both lights are on at once as they have dipped and main in both bulbs. I was a bit OCD about the single headlight. Subbed to support a fellow Z1000sx tuber :)

    • @Hinckley_Biker
      @Hinckley_Biker Рік тому

      The seat cowl was from kawasaki, the seat I bought on the Internet, I can't remember where from? It made a huge difference! Cheers for the sub although I am not riding the SX now, I have a 22yr old Honda Blackbird, next year intend to buy another bike, either an SX, Versys or Suzuki 1000GT? Thanks for the comment 👍

    Yep I'll ride my own ride that's why I have opinions, I have seen bikers skinned to the bone because they didn't want to be "cocooned" I bet they didn't enjoy the weeks spent cocooned in bandages! As for tit-head van drivers, well I very nearly lost my life to one and spent two weeks in intensive care, so I think my comments are justified while I ride my own ride!!!! Thanks for your comment 👍

  • @majormaccas
    @majormaccas Рік тому

    Nice video, love the sound of the bike, was a nice chilled out ride, but then you went full nanny on a biker in shorts - how about you just give them a nod and let them enjoy their ride how they want to enjoy it? You wouldn't ride without full gear, I wouldn't either, others don't want to be so cocooned, which entirely their prerogative. Then right after you call a van driver a tit-head for clearing the traffic calm when he would have been at the go/no-go when the car infront of you was turning right. Eurgh, just ride your own ride.
