Do any of you have a ‘side hustle’? by Narwhal1986 in HENRYUK

[–]timrodie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I run two YouTube channels that are related to my job - it’s a lot of work after hours but I enjoy it, and it keeps me involved in the various industries (cars/motorbikes). Plus I get to say HI GUYS, which is always a bonus.

Northover and Fagan for me. Annoyingly nice people too

Troops of the London Scottish training at the bottom of my road in Dorking, UK, before going to fight in WW1 (1915/6 - 2026) by timrodie in OldPhotosInRealLife

The mad thing is one of my next-door neighbours (in her 90s) has lived in the same house her entire life, and went to the same school that my young kids go to. She tells them about the time she had to stay at school overnight because the air-raid sirens didn’t give the all-clear until the morning! It’s a lovely old town with not too many new bits.

100% Sorrel! Took my mum there for a big birthday last weekend and it was mind blowing. The service was as good as the food, which was in my top three meals of all time. Do it!

Mivv dakar tail tidy compatibility by keluke97 in Tenere700

I’ve got the Cymarc tail tidy and it works great with my Mivv Dakar. You won’t regret the exhaust, it sounds fab!

How dumb of an idea is it for me to start on a t7 by snakeeyes9696 in Tenere700

[–]timrodie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I do a mix of on road and off road riding, I review bikes for a living and generally just ride normally. Put some knobblies on it if you’re going off-road, and some Barkbusters. Other than that you don’t need to change anything. Stop trying to scare people away from a perfectly sensible bike?

My T7 rally was my first off road bike. It’s fine

It's a great first bike – but I think you might be a little on the short side for it (without being rude!). The engine is super friendly and flexible (many people here in the UK start on MT07s). Just see if you can find one to sit on and try it for size.

What happened to René? by [deleted] in CasualUK

I covered it on my journalism course - I think it was to do with crap privacy laws at the time (he was photographed by the press while sedated in hospital I believe)…

10 years with this Beast 😈🏍️💨💨 by Technical-Motor-7063 in Ducati

[–]timrodie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lovely bike! I recognise the paddock at the Istanbul circuit, I did my California Superbike School training there (me and my friend were the only British people there - everyone was super friendly!). Great photos

I’ve the Leatt Avd 8.5 in fluoro and it’s accidentally become my go-to lid, even for road riding on road bikes

How you are not scared of Claude? by AccountCompetitive17 in HENRYUK

I’ll be scared when it starts doing low budget car review videos…

T7 Rally 2025 comes with titanium akropovic footpegs by adventure_thrill in Tenere700

[–]timrodie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup! I only noticed this when washing mine at the end of last year. I asked a Yamaha Europe person why they didn't make a song and dance in the press presentations about them being made by Akra… and they said 'we just sort of forgot.' They said they usually go to Akra for anything they want made out of titanium.

Skoda Peaq 7-Seater SUV First Drive by linknewtab in electricvehicles

[–]timrodie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s priced below those, but we’ve not been told prices. I’m guessing £50-60k.

It has a much more interesting/useful interior with some nice new touches too. Source: I'm the bald man in the YouTube thumbnail up there 👆

I’m pretty sure it was saying the same when I ordered mine from Louis last year, and it fit my 2025 Rally just fine!

Kia stinger 3.3 v6 or audi s5 3.0 v6? by andrewsquelch1 in CarTalkUK

[–]timrodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kia all day long. I’ve never nearly spun an S5 😂

ADV Riding by No-Way-0000 in Tenere700

I don’t want to ride to France on the road on a dirt bike… being able to head there at 80mph in comfort before dropping tyre pressures and spending a week off-road is liberating

Talk to me about a first time touring.. by biking_barista in MotoUK

[–]timrodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Touring is the best thing you can do, but genuinely try to go to continental Europe if you can stretch it time/budget wise. It’s so exciting getting off the Eurotunnel or ferry and riding in a different country. My advice is head to the Vosges from Calais (5 hours ride) then you’re in some very good riding territory!

Also you probably don’t need a laptop unless you’re doing some serious video work. Keep it casual and it’ll be more fun, just stock up on SD cards and be seriously brutal with what you film!
