On Sunday 27th September I am joining Captain Rambunctious and Phil480 for a social distanced Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride to help raise awareness about prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember. It would be awesome if you could sponsor me, but please don’t feel obliged to do so.

I recently got some Pirelli Phantom Sportcomp tyres to replace the tires on my Moto Guzzi V7. As standard it comes fitted with Pirelli Sport Demons, and although they are not the best, I have stuck with them up until now. My garage has no room in it so I too the bike over to T Northeast in Horley. I prefer to support the smaller shops over the main dealerships mostly.
The helmet setup I was using in this video was my Davida open face helmet and the GoPro Hero 8 with Media Mod fitted, just using the rear internal mic. It worked ok, but I am not sure I will use the setup for the DGR. If you know a better way of getting voice audio with an open face helmet, please let me know?

Wind noise was bad mate couldn't hear half of what you said
My adaptor and mic arrives today been a 2 month wait 😒
Gotta have good rubber on there. I like that bike shop. Looking forward to track day!!
Good to have good rubber for your track day the camera mount was good audio was not good I could hear you but not well any you take care and ride safe TTFN
That bike sounds mint 👌 Damn that pesky wind noise though ugh fkn GoPro life. When are ya getting out in the dirt again mate?
I really don't think you can use that for audio mate. You actually sound ok but the wind noise and background noise are terrible. And think of the bugs you'll have to eat 😃😆
New tires on a bike always feel so great! 😎
Always a good feeling getting new tires 👍 The 360 view for DGR would be fun, are they organizing any group rides out your way or is it all solo rides?
Having new tires is the best. Nice ride and beautiful bikes!!!
I suspect good audio + open face helmet + no screen + any amount of speed is just about impossible but good try👍👍👍 Cornering confidence only happens if you trust your tyres so hopefully these will allow you to push on.
