Default Vlogging on my Iron 1200

After 5 days away in Tenerife on a Suzuki Gladius with a GoPro stuck to my head, I'd thought I'd have a go at some vlogging on my Iron 1200. This is my first go really to check on settings etc but as most of you are in the US, I thought it might be of interest to some of you as I'm in the NW of England.

Enjoyed that. I know of the places you rode to, but havent been there myself. Always good to have a virtual ride around places.

Cheers guys. Sound of the Iron comes through pretty well which I'm pleased with. Did the same on a Suzuki Gladius and it sounded like a 125.

I spent 5 days in Tenerife where they drive on your side of the road. Scary for the first 10 mins but then got used to it. Was weird coming home just after 5 days and driving back on the left!

Thanks. I really enjoyed that. I grew up in Fleetwood and now live in Kamloops, British Columbia so that was quite nostalgic for me. Any chance you could take a ride in that direction sometime? And what do you think of the pin lock visor system?

Hi TJug,

Thanks for watching! Not been up that way for a while! Blackpool front and sea defence has had MILLIONS spent on it so could start there and head up towards Fleetwood. Any where in particular you want to see?

Pin Lock is great!! Can't even steam the thing up if I try!!

Enjoyed your video - very different from here in the states. Used your verbal queues to find your route on Google Earth. It's 10 below zero here in Michigan - hope to be back on the bike in 40 to 50 days (or so). Ride safe!
