This episode reminded me of my Scotland trip in 2008. I was with my girlfriend, she was on her Ducati Monster 1200 and I was riding my Suzuki GSX 1200 Inazuma at the time. I got t-boned by a car at the entrance of Dunrobin Castle near Golspie on the east coast. After that incident the Suzy was no more and I was on crutches for a few days. Then I got a rental car and we finished our trip. I was driving the little Clio and she was riding her Ducati and we stopped every other mile to take pictures because the scenery kept getting better and better. This part of the UK is still on my bucket list. Solid video Sam, as always! Cheers, Lupo

Ahh bud that sounds awful! Glad you recovered and got back on the bike! Definitely worth visiting, you could do a few days there then head up into the Highlands. That would be an awesome trip!! Thank you! Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment!

Lake district is one of favourites for a bike holiday. Always have to do Hardknott and Wrynose passes when there. Love them so much. Really enjoyed watching your vids.

Hi Sam, quick KTM question, when you pop those small wheelies going over humps, is your anti wheelie turned on or off?
@SamVBikes
Жыл бұрын
It's all on, but the bikes in Rally mode which has the 9 stage, dial-able traction control which is tied to wheelie control. Anything under stage 4/5 will let you wheelie pretty high. I have it on 1 most of the time because it let's the wheel come up pretty freely, but still saves any overly aggressive angles when the back wheel steps out!

Shame the GT doesn’t have Rally mode, it’s either on or off and my balls aren’t big enough for “off”.

@@stevewils3402 Haha! I assume the Tech Pack on the GT is the same as the SDR then? So you'd get race mode instead of rally

Rode along buttermere a couple of years ago, in late July, it was a nightmare for traffic. Revisiting this year in June, so hopefully be a bit better. Looking forward to seeing your Hardknott pass upload.

The Tuono has now been replaced by a KTM 1290 SAS (your vids helped me with the decision) I loved it, it was my 3rd V4 but I got fed up of buying back tyres and my last ride I only managed 74 miles before the fuel light came on 🤦♂️ so I felt the big Ktm was the way to go. Its not disappointed, and I can get 200 miles to a tank!!! You should definitely have a look at the Yorkshire Dale's would make some good uploads.

Ahh I can't fault you for switching up! I'm definitely going to have a Tuono in the garage at some point.. but between Tuono and the SAS, I'm going to be buying a lot of rear tyres haha!

You should definitely have an Aprilia V4 in your garage at some point that engine is a work of art. Look forward to future uploads. I'm hatching a plan to go do the Nc500 loop in a day later this year and really test the Ktm.

Haha yeah I had the pleasure of blasting one around LA and the canyons for a day earlier in the year and it was sublime! I thoroughly recommend the Crief CloverLeaf tour too! That was really good, I'd argue maybe better than the NC500! But either way, you'll have an awesome time
