Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, what if a time it is while you're watching this and here in the UK it's December, it's lashing it down and the rains turn cold as well. At least it's an icy like it was over the last couple of weekends, I've been able to get the bike out for a bit of a poodle. I've got very wet on the way back. If you want to simulate what it's like riding in the UK and you never have had the pleasure, simply do this, get yourself a garden sprayer, put some ice water in it, spray yourself in the face, it'll feel exactly like what it does in the UK at the moment. Anyway, enough winging about the weather, if you've ever visited the UK you'll know we're very good at that, we don't have a climate, we just have weather, so it's a favour, talking points. If you want to bike ice with the British person, just mention the weather and you'll be talking to them about it for ages. Unless I ride a bike then talk about the bike, because that's much more fun than the weather isn't it. Anyway, today's top tip I'm going to be passing on was given to me when I was a new rider, 17, I was doing my star rider silver, and I've passed on to people doing their advanced test preparation when I was in the server for the IAM, and it's all to do with holding your handlebars and looking over your shoulder. I have a trusty broom handle here and you'll see just outside of my hands, there's a couple of bits of masking tape, and they are to give me the right hand position for the Himalayan. So I've put the masking tape to the outside of where the Himalayan hand grips are, where the bar end weights are. I don't have standard bars on my Himalayan or Grace bars, so I'll add a slightly wider one to the bit stirrier for my poor attempts at riding off-road. So my hand position is somewhere like this. My arms are not quite fully straight, but the elbows have only just got a bit of a bend in them. And if you ride a bike like this with wide bars, quite far away from you, I've also got rise as well, hence these high position then you'd perhaps see on your Himalayan if you've got one. And if you look over your shoulder, you might move the bars a bit. This is what it looks like in riding from the viewpoint of my top box with a camera mounted on it. So we do a quick shoulder check here, and you see the bike moves a little bit. If we look at the handlebar camera position, you'll see there's a bit of a wobble there. It's about six to eight inches on the road, but you don't really want to be doing that. Instead, leaning forward slightly, breaking the elbow lock, dropping the shoulder and a chin bar on the shoulder, actually gives you a lot more stability, especially if there's something coming the other way like here. So going from a straight arm position to slight breaking the elbow on the right hand side, see I've not moved the handlebars, I've just broken the lock on the elbow. And looking down and back, you don't turn the bars. So there's a top tip if you do find yourself turning your head and moving the bike slightly, just break the lock on the elbow. If you're going to put your chin on your shoulder, you naturally will drop your shoulder as well, which will help give some more flexibility. Anyway, hope to see you out on the road. My last planned ride for this year is going to be New Year's Eve. My first planned ride for next year is New Year's Day. Going to be weather dependent, but if it's only rain and not ice, it probably won't stop me. Until I get some common sense, put into me somehow. Anyway, safe riding, take care, see you in the next film. Bye.
