Im seriously considering a Royal Enfield in future and would love a Himalayan. Maybe in a few years time. I cant wait to take a bike out for a video, hopefully starting with the Bear 650 and then maybe the Himalayan & Guerilla in future. I'm sure Steve and the team will appreciate your comments as I know Steve has been checking them out. Thank you for watching!

    I was honestly expecting the narration to be by David Attenborough; "Here we have that rarest of bird, the neighbourhood independent motorcycle dealer. These used to be ten a penny and were absolutely everywhere. Today they are increasingly hard to find and may sadly die before you finish signing the finance papers."

    • @bikerpaul100
      @bikerpaul100 27 днів тому

      Yeah there is definately a shortage of independent dealers but I think Manhattan will be fine. They have a lot of loyal customers and RE as a brand are doing well plus new models on the horizon. Still they need our support especially as this is the only dealership in sheffield in which you can buy a brand new bike (on road at least). Thanks for watching!

      ⁠@@maskedavenger2578 Hi there I’m guessing you’ve never been to Manhattans? It would’ve been because of the lack of time in the season-our two guys are up to anything from 1950/60s British to the present day. Presently we’d have time to look at it as has been explained to the OP. Two major bike shops closing in Sheffield last year have placed pressure on our workshop and sometimes we have to be selective. Hope that explains things, Steve at Manhattans 😊

    Watching from OZ. I am about where you are with testing. OA4 and Mic Mini as well. I was also scratching my head about gain control. But, found the same source as you. Thank goodness. Just a couple of comments. First, I think it is well worth looking for a better location for the mic. Out of the wind generated by the bikes forward motion. Second, I did manage to pair my mic with an Insta 360 x3 as well. Not tested yet for gain control. I think the clipping switch will be of great help. You didn't mention if you had it turned on, or perhaps I missed it. Finally, another reviewer over here suggested the gray dead cat is denser than the black one. Perhaps better wind blocking. Thank you for your work and video.

    -12 with low noise reduction is the best setting for this video. I have a Osmo Action 5 with Mic mini and I am still with -6, but I will change that to -8 or -10 ... I also do a bit of post production and results are very very good. check my video "El atazar con Sergio" minute 6:50 and more .. I did a bit of mistake with a chewing gum in my mouth 🙂 a bit saturated cause it was -6 and low noise reduction, so I need to test a bit more. Cheers.

    I now own my 3rd pair of these (washing machine has taken too many victims) absolutely love them On & Off the motorcycle. I'm considering buying the new galaxy buds but I might just stick with these ❤

    Enjoyed watching you ride and listening to your comments. I've heard that this bike handles really well and is very rider friendly (obviously dependent on individual riding style). It looks a joy to ride.

    scorpion moved the internal sun visor lever upwards so you can put a speaker system in.
