Left lane is for A47 , the right lane is for the industrial / shopping estate , if you sit in the right lane then try to turn left to the A47 you end up waiting for months as drivers wont give way to you, so if your going to the shopping estate/ industrial estate you keep to the right lane leaving the left clear. yes helmet cam is great its like a dash cam for riders keeps us covered if something does happen its all on video for insurance/police/emergency services. i have had a few close calls where drivers have just cut me up or decided they will pull out on me on roundabouts without even looking , then shrugging shoulders when your on the horn feet from smacking there motor and they are likes " eh what ". Also the number of folks i pass playing with there phones - reading a book and one lady doing her makeup , stupidity at its best Edited January 30, 2017 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 So after some camera modding , i installed a mono lapel mic into the Spada Intrepid dual sport helmet , kitted up and went for a short ride to the doctors. YES for all you old forum folks you will finally get to hear old TC yabbering away about nonsense in his very first motovlog with him talking. feel free to subscribe to my youtube channel , offer riding advice - ask questions or poke fun at me via this thread. youngsters remember Dress for a slide dont be a fool wear the right gear all the time and Freedom is the Open Roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Diesel in a petrol scooter ..... OH SHIZZLE ME yes big newbie mistake ..... but here i am again just a trip round the village incase it breaks down with my usual mutterings in the norfolk accent. we have a warbling 50cc at 7 mins in video, and at 20:18 we have a splutter bogg down to near stall but i manage to keep it going .

Also draw to the fact cars now have a smaller fuel opening so the derv pump nozzles wont fit, but motorbikes that has not come to us so a derv nozzle will fit our tanks just as a petrol nozzle will. cars changed the fuel opening to stop them being filled by accident, but bikers still have that risk.

Tamiyacowboy Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Walcott Beach , scouting for fishing marks. today we headed upto the coastal road and walcott beach to look at the tide line and possible fishing area, at the same time we take a walk along the sea wall/beach road and encounter the local shop - cafe and chipshop. its a quaint little village not overstocked with holiday makers and kids running riot, so the beach is somewhat quiet to , its nothing like the major resorts of yarmouth - cromer and the likes but its nice and laid back propper norfolk as i like to think of it. Enjoy and comment if you want, i am looking at doing a few more coastal visit vlogs for folks hey maybe members will want to come take short breaks on our lovely coast lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
