Thanks to MotohausUK and @s100_motorradpflege for letting me to test their products!I'll be testing S100 cleaner, chain products (I'm finding chain guard very useful to stop lube going over the rear tyre!), visor cleaning and textile waterproofing products.Also Bruhl Dryer - I never even thought about getting one but it can be great to protect electrics, bolts and hard to access places from corrosion after cleaning the bike or after riding in the rain.You'll be able to rear my reviews in @motogustouk magazine soon.#motohausuk #s100 #motogusto

My mum got her CBT today!So if you see this bike on the road make sure to get out the way!! (just kidding mum) 😉Well done!

Needless to say I didn't stay there long... I mean why would anyone even go there 🤔😂Riding around Perthshire today trying to dodge the storms at which I failed miserably and ended up riding in heavy rain all day 😅But after not getting out the house the whole week (as I'm working from home) it was good to get out anyway!@motogustouk @weise_clothing #arai #araihelmet #motogusto#girlswhoride #girlsonbikes #ukbikers #ukbikelife #bikesofinstagram #bikersofinstagram #motorcycletravel #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motorbikes #motorcycletrip #motorbiketrip #solotravel #scotland #dullperthshire #perthshire

Loving the autumn colours...! (maybe just except days like today when it's just gray and miserable outside haha!)I had a lot of people asking about this go pro mount, it's just a cheap one (I paid less than £10 for it), if you google "go pro chin mount" it appears as one of the top results.Loving the Pro Shade double visor in my Arai especially at this time of the year when days are short, so no need to change between clear and dark visor as I've got them both in one 😀#arai #araihelmet #motorcyclehelmet #motorcyclehelmets #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motorbikes

As I couldn’t decide which pair of these Duchinni boots I liked more, I get to test them both thanks to #thekeycollection and @motogustouk !I just spent all evening walking around the house in Cassidy boots (black pair), they are so light and comfy I don’t feel like I’ve got them on 😃Can’t wait to put them both through the test, and what better place for gear testing is there than Scotland (which never disappoints with rain 😅)??Well... I mean... I would much rather be somewhere like Australia right now... But let’s focus on positives 😜Black pair: Duchinni Cassidy ladies Brown pair: Duchinni Sierra#duchinni #duchinniboots #motogusto

Zooming around Ayrshire and Dumfries trying to escape the rain last weekend. 🏍️💨Heavy rain forecast for this weekend also, but I'll be out anyway as I finally invested in mic adapter for my go pro so I need to test that 😜 and I'll get another chance to rain test my new @weise_clothing gear (it stayed waterproof so far!).@hondaukmotorcycles @motogustouk #motogusto @oxfordproducts#cbr650r #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motorbikes #motorcycletrip #motorbiketrip #solotravel #solotraveler #honda #cbr #ukbikers #ukbikelife #bikesofinstagram #bikersofinstagram #motorcycletravel

It looks like weekend rides only from now on - by the time I finish work it's dark already... Winter's coming!!But I still got some 2TB of videos from my trip to edit so that will keep me busy!! I'll be lucky if I finish editing them all before winter ends 😜Check out my YouTube channel: search "RTW Roxy"@hondaukmotorcycles @motogustouk #motogusto#cbr650r #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motorbikes #motorcycletrip #motorbiketrip #solotravel #solotraveler #honda #cbr #ukbikers #ukbikelife #bikesofinstagram #bikersofinstagram #motorcycletravel

A bit drier ride today, even sun came out for 5 minutes 😜 Rain when leaving Glasgow, rain coming back to Glasgow but Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway mostly dry with some short spills of rain.Some 300 miles done today. Had a lot of fun of this CBR 650R!@hondaukmotorcycles @weise_clothing @motogustouk #motogusto #arai #araihelmet#cbr650r #girlswhoride #girlsonbikes #ukbikers #ukbikelife #bikesofinstagram #scotland #mullofgalloway #lighthouse

Rather wet ride yesterday, let's see if it stays a bit drier today! Galloway forest, Portpatrick maybe Mull of Galloway lighthouse? Let's see where I end up 😜@weise_clothing @motogustouk @hondaukmotorcycles #motogusto #arai #araihelmet#cbr650r #girlswhoride #girlsonbikes #ukbikers #ukbikelife #bikesofinstagram

How do you like my new outfit?? 😀Thanks to @weise_clothing and @motogustouk I'll be testing this Weise Dakota jacket and Weise Outlast Frontier laminated trousers over the winter.(Ignore my old walking boots for now - I left my Altberg boots in Australia and I've got new boots also coming, thanks to #motogusto)! 🙂I'm not the one for ever colour matching my gear to the bike but (purely by accident!) my gear now completely matches the bike! 😜 Talking about the colours, who doesn't just love autumn colours??!I wasn't actually expecting to rain test my new gear so quickly (on a first ride!), when I went for a ride it wasn't raining but on the way back half an hour in torrential rain and an hour or so in less-than-torrential rain but everything stayed bone dry! (Well, except my old walking boots haha and my summer gloves that I had on!). But then I suppose I'm in Scotland and you just always have to expect the rain here.Althought I had my summer gloves on that were completely soaked, @hondaukmotorcycles heated grips were so good that my hands stayed nice and warm!On another note I was really impressed how this CBR 650R handled on flooded single track roads that were in quite a bad state and lots of leaves on the road and some little bit of gravel.When I first got this bike I thought, well, these Dunlop Sportmax tyres aren't going to be great for wet / winter riding... But I think traction control must have compensated for that as I haven't had a single skid. Staying that I wasn't pushing it VERY hard considering it was only my second time out on this bike.... Still, I'm pretty impressed with it so far!PS: If you haven't seen my latest video from crossing the border from India to Nepal, check it out on my YouTube channel (search RTW Roxy or click link in bio!)Thanks to: @hondaukmotorcycles @weise_clothing @motogustouk#hondamotorcycles #cbr650r #girlsonbikes #girlswhoride #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbikes #ukbikers #bikelife #ukbikelife #scottishbiker #cbr

I promise I did actually take it for a ride 😜📷: 90% by me (setting up), 10% by my mum @amethyst_hair_studio_glasgow (pressing the shutter button to save me having to rely on 10 secs timer and trying to set the world's time record in running from camera to the bike as I usually do), so she deserves some credit for that 😜@motogustouk #motogusto @hondaukmotorcycles#cbr650r #girlswhoride #girlsonbikes

Today I did some 100 miles on this CBR 650R, not a huge mileage but I had so much fun!First I took it over some single track roads that I've been on a couple of times before but I don't know them that well. It handled really well on single track roads though, I was able to go faster on it than I would have on bigger bikes. It is about the same weight as my CBR 900RR but size wise it is a lot smaller and just a lot easier to ride and throw round the bends.Then I took it on the back roads that I have been using sometimes several days a week for the past 7 years, usually for a quick run after work (Largs) so I could probably do this road with my eyes shut. Well, after I went over this road once (I was heading home) I had so much fun that I decided to turn around and go there and back over the same road again! 😜@motogustouk #motogusto @hondaukmotorcycles#hondamotorcycles #cbr650r #girlswhoride #girlsonbikes #glasgow
