👋🏻👋🏻👍👍👍 too bad it rained but it looked like you really enjoyed yourself. ☔️☔️☔️. The route you took was very scenic, the villages so pretty. Maybe one day if you go back to the area you can video the 1397 pub and also Farleigh Castle it looked super interesting even in the rain lol. Thanks for taking us along and explaining wassailing very interesting 👍👍. Take care, stay safe and well. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦

AHH several evenings I don't recall spent there on the rhubarb cider, Jay says to watch out for the Cheddar Valley, it's deceptively lethal. 🤣

Nice video, Dickie. Bike looking good and so are you. Glad your back is better.

Hi Dickie, a nice video. respect for your camping!

Looks cold Dickie?

Great video Dickie.

Thank you Dickie, another great video. A few hungover campers around the next morning I guess, kind regards.

In my early/mid teens I used to be fond of a bottle of cheap cider. Unfortunately after a particularly infamous and probably regrettable night out in my early twenties, drinking copious amounts of snake bite (cider lager50/50 mix) I pretty much scunnered (Scottish for put off for life) my self from the apple brew. Never mind there is always the grape or the grain. Slantie. 🥃 PS any chance of your self and and Sandy doing a Himalayan camp in the woods, or along the ridge way. Would be good craic.

A good video, thanks Dickie. I go to an evening bike meet at Tuckers on Thursdays in the summer. Jan

Hi Dickie, I am a new subscriber and really enjoying your video`s (also watch Wiltshire Man as well). We went to Tuckers Grave last September on the bikes, what a great place this is! We got there on the Friday afternoon and were in the pub for 4pm....needless to say, far too much Black Rat was drunk! Looking forward to going back this year. As I said, I am enjoying your video`s, keep it up!

I enjoyed that 🙂 Thank you for sharing. I remember going to a rally with a BIG FIRE and some dip stick run over it and burnt his Balls rofl. He ended up with very bad burns to his nuts/willy and ended up in Hospital. Ouch !!! lol

The Stranglers used to frequent Tuckers Grave, during the recording of their Norfolk Coast album. They were so impressed by their regular visits there, that they wrote a song about it and included it on the album.

Hi Dickie great video so very enjoyable and interesting and of course a lovely drop of cider that would be great if that was in the summer time hopefully you were all wrapped up warm and kept dry on the way home

wonderful stuff Dickie

A great video to watch and local to me-Totally enjoyed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thank you Richard 👍

Nice one Dickie. Great video and Wassailing looks like a good thing to get into. Keeping one eye on the weather, am iching to get me tent on the bike.

Hi Dickie, another great film thank you. Looked like a great craic with the music and some cider. Well done camping 🏕️ mate, still a bit cold 🥶 for me just yet. Definitely looked like a soggy ride home, well done and respect to you for camping, filming and taking us along. Thanks mate, all the best Chris. 🍻👍👍👍

G'Day Dickie Well Done Mate. - All that cold wet slippery sh*tty mud made my old bones shudder in memory of the 'Best of British'. No doubt a bit of wassailing would ease the pain locally. Down here, 'SH*T' is normal kiwi-english usage and comes in every other sentence usually.

Another great video thanks for taking us along, Sandie would be proud of you.

Top vid Dickie - and the pole repair worked👍. An event that’s worth me doing next year - thanks. . I’ve stayed a Tuckers Grave a few times - they have a regular bike meet during the summer and all sorts of things turn up, (including ETZ’s!) . Some of the live bands that play there are excellent. A great place but they do get booked up. I found it best to pitch in the lower NE corner to minimise the traffic noise. Hope to have a catch up with you and Sandy sometime this year. Cheers.

Hahahaha! Bonkers mate.... Well played you for vlogging start to finish through the hellish weather👌👌👌

Nice one dicky and a good bit music to finish 👍

Hi Dickie I really enjoyed that video and aren’t these little Himalayans just great little bikes I love mine and great for local camping trips 🏕️

Your a brave one Dickie, those winter camping days are not for me. Looks like you had a good time. Was that wurzel at the end, the old doctor who

Look a great place to camp will visit when warmer weather gets here great video dickie looking forward to the next

Enjoyed that Dickie! Thanks for sharing the video. Oh and don’t start me off on the MZ’s I have previously owned 2 x ETZ 250’s and a TS 250 Super 5, should never have sold any of them!! Mind you I am very satisfied with my RE Classic 500 at the moment but keep looking at the VStrom 650! Thanks again for another enjoyable video. Steve

Excellent Dickie ! Sandy will be proud of your camping set up😂

Nice one Dickie 👍😎

Excellent Dickie!

Junk.

O my god, this video is boring, are you even a biker considering the lack of energy?

I'm with you on the health, recovery, wellbeing and fitness issues of owning a Bike and the Ride, it lifts the spirit and moves the very Soul.. unless you'd an upbringing or you're a Biker, they'd never understand nor could you explain, it's a thing in your Blood.. the Brain, is the Head, the Mind.. was and had been doing me a power of good. Sadly for me, my Himalaya got stolen from welllit Morrisons car park, Cannock, afternoon Christmass Eve.. no News as yet to being seen/recovered.. I'd hate to think with the claim, what I'll get as Insurance payout when it comes to a 21 BS4 411.. given current retail prices. Take care, stay safe. Davey

It's not about bad weather it's about bad choice of clothing...get out and ride, the weather is irrelevant

My dram bike evo road king one day one day .... Great story im happy for You! Bikes do have soul...

Great video and awesome work on the forks. I have a 2008 Road King and a 2017 V-Strom 650XT. I did the fork legs on my King last year and they came up Great..... Keep up the good work.

lovely bike, glad she helped your recovery too. ride safe!

I stuck around because it's an EVO. EVO is the last line of the real HD. Always good to do a carb conversion. My late 90s has over 100k miles with OEM Keihin. I eliminated the front air. I flipped the springs, used 11oz of 30W fork oil in each leg, and this eliminated 75% of brake dive.

Wonderful video Dickie. 👍 Great Road King. I had a 2000 Road King Classic, that’s the bike I wish I hadn’t sold. My bikes brought me back as well after injuries. You did a solid job bringing those fork legs back to new. Here in coastal Norther California we fight corrosion and those front fork bottoms do take a beating with the humidity and bugs guts eating away at the finish.

I like that 🙂. Beautiful bike, Sounds great. Thank you for telling your story, You must of had a tough time. But your back and I am pleased you are. Enjoy your VL's 🙂. TY.

My bikes are my calm too. I love working on them. I understand completely. Looking forward to seeing you out this spring.

Like all these guys and gals coming out of war with severe injuries, it’s important progress with things and people we enjoy. I myself am letting our situation here in the US get me down. I’m working on a CB400T, Hawk I with spoke wheels. It’s been thrashed. I may have to take the Honda badges off and put EBay. I’m learning. Thanks for the tips.

Evos my fave Coming back from serious wrist problems at the moment your pep talk helped

Do you adjust your tappets your self Dickie or does it have pushrods ? I know absolutely nothing about Harleys 🤔

I’ve always used auto solve, it’s very good, the fork you’ve done is very beautiful. Wow what avery difficult time you had , it must have been awful. But look at you now putting in a lot of hard work doing your Harley up , I love been behind them when they open up . I’m just a few yards away from the Harley dealer in Wolverhampton and sometimes I go in and have a look . They are the dealer looking after my services of my Enfield Classic 350 , they are so kind 😊. Thanks for sharing your life experience, it’s certainly lovely to hear ya Harley, deep sound , what’s your torque on it Dickie?

Nice work Dickie, there is always time to do something with your bikes

All the best mate! Can't wait to see you and that great machine out on the road.

Hiya Dickie. Wicked story with a wicked bike. Your good self being the cherry on the cake. 3 out of 3.better than meetloaf. Seriously though your inspiring mate. Thanks for sharing brother. Kind regards Si ✌😎..

Well done Dickie what a great Vlog and the reason why the bike is so special to you. Nice job on the front fork legs, I really enjoyed this type video. 👍

WOW that's a very inspirational message and video and thanks for sharing your story with us. I often say , we are only on this planet once so make sure you make the most of it. Riding motorcycles is very therapeutic at times and good for our overall wellbeing. We can get a emotional attachment to certain bikes because of what they have done for us. Well done on the fork's refurb , looks just right and now ready for the better weather for you to enjoy some riding. 😊😊😊

Great vlog and 10/10 for opening up about how special the bike is to you and the reasons why.
