In todays episode we discuss in detail our initial impressions of the new Royal Enfield shotgun 650, could it be better than the super meteor. we also now have the prices available for the uk and its very reasonably priced as expected from Royal Enfield. We also discuss haters, ad revenue, the new SWM V1200 Stormbreaker which is essentially a chines/italian knock off Harley-Davidson sportster 48! and the Ol'Man tells a story of when he was homeless and crashed his Honda XL125.

In todays episode we go through all of your submissions to rate my ride and discuss what we think of them. We had a great mix of motorbikes entered like the Triumph T120, T100, Speed Twin, Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, 117 Breakout, 1983 Honda Goldwing, Heritage Classic and more...

We also discuss what motorbike news we have coming up on both channels and we analyse a smaller YouTube channel who asked for some advice on how to grow his YouTube channel! You can see his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCXLdcoK71TGwvCXSuyLzWXw
