Freddie. When filtering, it is illegal to overtake the last car before a pedestrian crossing, because it may be obscuring a pedestrian. While I’m on my pedestal, please think carefully about having your hearing sense obscured by music or whatever and being distracted by listening to something in your helmet. As vulnerable bikers, we need to be 110% aware of what’s going on around us. Excuse the preaching, I love the channel 😀😀😀
Its illegal to overtake within the zigzag lines , the last car thing is not true , its a common sense thing in some cases OTHER than Any pedestrian crossing zebra or with lights
@@jobucklandbuckland8031it is true I just checked it
Freddie, overtaking that van on the zebra crossing was illegal and incredibly dangerous, as you had no idea if there was someone on the crossing. Also, “filtering” down the inside of the lorry isn’t a good idea, again, you have no idea if there’s a pedestrian crossing between traffic. I know it’s London and “rules” are slightly different, but remember to “ride to arrive”. 👍
Yep. Get a grip Freddie. 😂 You know better and we need your videos.
Was just about to comment on that myself. Triumph would not be impressed to receive a notice of intended prosecution in the post. As a 37 year police officer the consequences can be devastating. It happened to me once overtaking a stationary bus in London when a homeless man staggered out from in front of the bus, not pretty for me or him!
Agreed I gasped as he overtook on that zebra crossing. Very poor riding and judgement.
Thanks very much all, I’ll remember this:)
Immediately jumped out at me too. I thought, "What's he doing." Apart from that heart-stopping moment, another great video.
I *rarely* have any music on even when driving my car. I cannot understand why anyone would want to compromise their concentration when riding a motorcycle by importing a risk like unnecessary noise. There is a reason why pilots and train drivers are not allowed music/radio in their cockpit or driving cab.
Interesting, and good point
I was just going to post something on this but you nailed it, I want to hear everything that’s going on around me. Why would anyone want to block off one of their senses whilst riding?
Absolutly, never compromise your senses ...never
I have an old interphone intercom. Brilliant for communicating with my pal but never have radio/music streaming on as too distracting
Depends on priority of senses. Note that Freddy is very visual, so sound isn’t as distracting as it would be with a highly visual person. I’m high audio, so I can’t have any sound without mega distraction.
I'd recommend an advanced course for riding Freddie.
'Ouch'...!!..??...🤭.
Do not listen to these experts on riding, get a Cardo, slap it on your helmet, and enjoy. Let the Karens do what they may, but Communication devices are fantastic, I have ridden across North America, and Southeast Asia, all while wearing my Cardo. Being able to talk to other riders, listen to music, or make a call, all handsfree is fantastic. By the way, I am 61, not a crazy kid....
You need every one of your senses on full alert 100% of the time on our crazy UK roads, and I'm even older than you!
Hi Freddie. Love the way you got past the delivery bike. Overtake on Zebra crossing made me wince tho!
Ref the helmet.....not for me. I like to enjoy the ride without music/phone calls etc.
Have fun
Thanks for sharing your helmet thoughts- this has been my normal thinking, so great to head your thoughts!
Riding a motorcycle, should be a pure experience. Choose a bike that sounds good, pay attention to your surroundings and be alone with your thoughts.😁
For some people, they would rather not be alone with their thoughts 😉
@@kevindarkstar Very true, best not to allow deep issues to distract while riding a motorcycle. We ride bikes to forget our troubles
Love this place. My wife and I are in your bike shed 2022 video sitting having breakfast outside. We were too busy eating and watching the bikes go past we didn’t see you. Gutted as would have loved to have came and said hello in person. Maybe someday our paths will cross again. We had travelled down from the North East
Oh wow what a coincidence! I’m hoping to do another northern trip over the winter, so our paths may cross again further north🤘🏼🏍️🏍️
@@FreddieDobbs can you reveal the area? If you’re looking for any points of interest or biker/motorist hang out recommendations, let me know
We also went to the bike shed on seeing your video. We absolutely love the place and we must visit the place again soon .
Freddie Bad Bad Bad no overtaking in the zig zag area of a Zebra crossing Give a £100 to the local Air Ambulance as punishment , you or anyone on that crossing could have needed it , you were totally blinded by the van , secondly the lorry you cut through if he had pulled away quickly you wouldn't have made it , Filtering is fine but it needs care and thought and never more than 20 mile per hour than the traffic speed this gives you good reaction time if anyone manoeuvres with out looking or as you know it happens moves to block you .
from someone with 44 years of biking and working in road transport industries as a van ,lorry driver and London motorcycle courier .
Better you than me with all that filtering in London Freddie. I certainly would not be playing music in any helmet I ever purchase either. No criticism here but but I personally would want to stay very aware of my surroundings at all time. I also like the sound of the engine while I ride. Just my view 🙂
With all the well meant comments about the zebra crossing incident you'll have to do a Naughty Boy video 🤣
Freddie it is against the law to overtake through the zigzag marked areas of a pedestrian crossing.
While what Freddie did was illegal, its not actually illegal to overtake in an area covered by Zig Zag lines,
Rule 191
You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines.
You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians.
@@medler2110 If you read all parts of rule 191 you will see that you must not overtake on the approach.
@@williamsnelling3544 I have posted all of Rule 191 as written on the Gov.UK Highway Code website.
But if you have more information I would be grateful to see it.
Would say if looking for a helmet you need a trip to Motolegends Guildford.🙂
Agreed fantastic service
Agreed. I've bought several helmets there and the fitting was professional.
Freddie - my view:
I’m not rich but I got myself a shoei neotec 3 with the built in Sena.
It might not be your style, but I have zero regrets.
Podcasts on the motorbike? Nah….keep that for the car. But music? Hell yeah. Usually something with a consistent beat and not too dynamic.
Mind you, I probably wouldn’t listen to music while riding in traffic, where danger can come from any angle. Best to keep your ears open.
If you have left the car fir that long mate with no trickle charging the 12v battery will not be happy charge it up and some of those codes will disappear or if you battery is past it's best change it and problems will disappear had it on my Panda power steering fail battery change cured it.
Modern cars are very dependant on decent battery voltage.
Ahhhhh VERY interesting! Thank you so much for this🙌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs the same happened to my alfa-romeo mito, power steering electric error, my steering wheel got supper stiff before entering Blackwall tunnel and I got an error on the dashboard, after that it happened twice, battery changed and all good, until winter came one day - 2C degrees started car, after 2 minutes same error, so far no error but very dangerous that this happened while driving, doing some research it happens at low speed. Electric steering wheel they have a sensor, there is a company that can replace the chip on it instead of buying the whole column, but this needs to be done by a mechanic... Good luck
I have Shoei and SENA helmets with really good speakers and Bluetooth. I used to listen to music but no longer. Now used for directions only and phones if I bother to answer them. The music is nice but far too distracting, definitely for URBAN riding and traffic areas in the countryside.
Ah, ok really useful!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Freddy just get Cardo or whatever they work great.
They work well, when they work!. My Packtalk Bold has been replaced twice under warranty, and yesterday it decided that it won’t pair with my phone when I was on a long ride using sat nav!.
Podcasts while riding? Only if you don't want to ride, as there's no such thing as "multitasking" say the scientists....
A very fair point that I was curious about
Speak for yourself
can you walk and think at the same time? Or do you have to stop and 2+2?
That gadget is good for checking out secondhand cars before you go ahead with a purchase.
I'm sure the 400 looks better in the flesh and probably rides lovely. But to me its just so generic and norm looking. The silencer looks horrible. I love the looks of RE over the triumph.
Had plenty of ear plus , inter fit, Sena Cardo etc form 30 yrs of riding the best ear plugs are moulded ones and the best for comm are the moulded with speakers built in and direct cable to your intercom. Intercom used correctly great safety tool comm with other riders warnings turns etc .not going to say which comms are best safe to say have used Sena 50s for 3 years in huge rain storms throughout winter. No issues most issue are rider user error Sena has more ports options than Cardo so cover them properly do t stick your mic in your mouth vent as it gets wet
Motorcycling in the Scottish Highlands listening to music - sensory overload !
Yes I sing inside my helmet but listening to music whilst riding is something I wouldn’t consider even though I know Itchy Boots does it !
I guess if you just did huge regular motorway miles , big annual trips, or wanted communication with a pillion or other rider, a radio would be welcomed. But in any other situation, i.e. 99% of the time i wouldn't want it.
Bike Shed seems a bit too lifestyle-y for the intercom style of helmets. Unless style and functionality are better than last time, i looked
Go for Africa Freddy
Just bought a retro looking John Doe one helmet from urban rider. Came with two visors and can be customised to ride with goggles and a peak. Quiet, comfy and has space for internal speakers and glasses. £259. Would love to see an Africa trip. !!!
Funnily enough, this is the exact helmet I’m considering! Great to head your thoughts on it
Every size has a separate shell size too. Apparently it was 3 years in design. There’s some great colours too. I think the value is remarkable for what you get. Good luck with the search Dave
Schuberth C5 with the integrated comms excellent bit of kit.
Wow the warriors are out in force today eh! Almost like they haven't realised the thousands upon thousands of miles you've done Freddie??
There's nothing wrong with a bit of background music on the bike, nobody is talking about blasting ears like some people do in the car, but for long trips, why not? It just ups the enjoyment.
As far as the actual intercom side Freddie, once you've had one, you'll never want to go back, it changed my enjoyment forever.
We've just done a 1000 miles in Wales, 4 of us, all using senas, aside from the obvious added safety aspects in case of issues (and slight navigational errors) the general chat and banter just had us laughing and enjoying every single moment!
I could not recommended it enough, I've ridden for 35 years now, this is the most fun I've ever had since our little group of 4 got hooked up on intercoms!
old bikers love a moan
@dreamcrusher112 lol i am an old biker (ish) but I'm not moaning 😉
Nothing to listen to is one of the best things about biking for me ,each to there own
Talking of Africa - have you had time to watch “I like Motor Bikes” channel - young British couple already ridden to Cape Town down the west coast on their OLD Honda CB 125s. Remember small bikes are easy repair in Africa - big bikes are not!
I haven’t watched yet, but I’ll find it. And re small hikes: 100% agree
Have you tried urban rider, they have a lot of gear suited to your style. Helmets included.
I think this’ll be the place I try next
@@FreddieDobbs most modern helmet s can support comms. Then go to somewhere like j and s to fit the comms system. To be fair j and s also have some nice retro helmets … Shoei Glamster, arai rapid ….
Never sell the Fiat. That's the type of car Sadiq Khan wants to put in scrappage. That's all you need to know.
I have a schuberth c5 since a year ago and wow what a difference compared to my earlier (scorpion) helmet 🤯.
Quality materials make this way more comfy, less noise and everything feels like it will last for many years to come.
Yes more expensive but if you ride a lot on your bike I think it’s definitely worth the investment. Style wise not really soothing my Bonnie but well, safety and comfort are important as well.
My helmet costed something like 530 euro and now im looking for an intercom system as well, one that is not tailor made for the helmet (because that would set me back another +/- 300 euro! lol) but still in good price/ quality range.
Open for suggestions :)
Thanks for sharing this- really useful insight👌🏻👌🏻
Sportsbikeshop retail and Internet shop
For lots of different helmets.
But you can be a bit of a shop snob.😂 I can't believe it says in the Bike Shed not to remove the helmets from the shelves. How do you try them on?
And only in Harlow, so a very reasonable trip out for young Dobbs.
As for the "Don't remove the helmets from the shelves" sign, a very attentive salesperson will usually find you within seconds and take you through trying on properly.
Well done Freddie but when you go into these places your like a wee boy on Christmas morning 😂😂keep your videos they make my day.Thank you.
It’s true😆 And thank you🙌🏻🙌🏻
looks pretty cool
Tempting but to my mind listening to music is to dangerously distracting especially with the general standard of driving dropping off a cliff with other cockpit distractions and info overload.
In any event I ride to enjoy the environment around me not the noise in my head. The smell of the air, the sound of the engine, the wind on my body. Riding a bike is intimacy with the environment at speed. I get enough action in my ears when I get home to the misses. Know what I mean Guv ?
All this yuppie hipster gear is to much wasted money, im escaping attention on my bike, not looking for it.
Like the Bike though. Carry on boy.
Have you ever tried a Cardo or Sena ?...
@@sommebuddy
Have you ever made love to a beautiful woman and let go of the stupid shit you used to do thinking it would attract them ?
6 possible penalty points and the video evidence! Clue Zebra crossing.
Freddie, whichever helmet you go for, get a *_Cardo_* Comms system. A couple of manufacturers integrate a Cardo, I AGV is one.
I have three Sena systems (because Comms companies don't/didn't play well with each other) and only the oldest one works as it should. The more modern ones that incorporate Mesh (e.g. Sena SRL 2/3 in Shoei helmets) have real problems, especially when trying to get SatNag directions while listening to something else. As a heads up, a lot of helmets that offer built in Comms use Sena units. I've been using Comms in various helmets for about 14 years now, so have had a while to test them out 😁
Nice progress through the traffic. Were you a "DR" in an earlier life?
I dont listen to music or pod casts as i like the sound of the wind and the bike, i do have a blue tooth system so i can talk to fellow riders and pasengers but thats it for me
My wife and I both ride and we have an intercom link. Which is a huge bonus as when riding as a pair or in a group as you have more than one set of eyes looking for hazards. I personally never listen to anything whilst riding as I don’t want the intrusion or the distraction
Ahhh this is useful info; using only as an intercom and not for music. Thanks for sharing🙌🏻
@@FreddieDobbsand sat nav voice direction 😅
@@FreddieDobbs Music is awesome as well....most people who think these are a danger have never used one.
Choose the best helmet you can afford then fit an aftermarket intercom. I have a Cardo linked to a Carpuride on my Triumph. Full Android Car thing and Spotify. Works a treat. And you can take calls as they come with a mike. Modern helmets have the space for these built in.
Freddie I have a full face helmet and an open face one, the open face one worn with safety glasses gives me the most riding pleasure and satisfaction as it's so light, I can breath easier and appreciate the surrounding sounds better, big helmets are claustrophobic and heavy, yes they have their place when crossing continents but in general it's the open face version for me, consider that.
Oh and by the way, not too impressed with your London filtering, it's only a matter of time before it ends up in tears riding like that. Ride safe.
I fitted an intercom last year after riding for over forty years. It enhanced safety when riding in a group as the leader can yell mud, gravel tractor etc. I also listen to music on long trips and I can hear voice instructions from my iPhone satnav which is very useful.
Great Bike Shed tour Freddie 👌, talking about Belstaff, how do you clean your Belstaff Brooklands waxed canvas jacket , please do share if any good method or product, or a hack ..Cheers
That filtering through traffic looks nuts 🥜 maybe because in Germany we are not allowed and hence I am not used. But wy do you never touch a car????
Hey Freddie you are moving away from your mantra of talking about motorcycles. Now your followers are subjected to adverts from people who give you money. This makes your content diluted as you are not being objective and independent. I noticed this when you had the Mutt 250. You raved about it but never mentioned the vibration while riding it on the motorway and how under powered it was. I am disappointed as I believed in you my friend.
I love your Fiat. Looks cute, but more importantly unbelievably reliable. And reliability is something I have never associated with Fiats or Italian vehicles in general.
That Morocco trip sounds good. I've already had a modest Moroccan adventure in April this year. (Algeciras port is only 45 minutes from my place). And I have just returned from a European adventure (5,500 kms, Spain, France, Switzerland and Italy). However, another journey to Morocco??? I can hear the road calling me......
By the way, what did you think of the Triumph Speed 400?
Although I've been riding a bike for well over 40 years your always learning and modern day traffic and the state of the roads have changed so much i find enough distractions to cope with than having "Bat out of hell" blasting in my ears as i wonder through the Yorkshire Dales.
I have to say, the styles over there are much nicer than the states
Have you had to replace the window regulator on your Fiat yet? Mine needs replacing and I currently have my drivers side window held up with tape. I'm waiting for the weather to cool down (I'm in Phoenix Arizona) before doing the job.
Riding with music is great for the commute, and podcasts make boring rides bearable. I also find the speakers tone down the wind noise, which I always feel hurts my ears more than any music can. Always keep volume below 60% if possible.
The Schuberth helmets are good enough to be rebranded as BMW own and lids like the E1 and E2 for more adventure styling and C5 for road style - The flip design allows a much smaller neck aperture which will prevent a lot of wind noise. They are also prewired for comms systems so you don't have to pull the lining out to install (more importantly try and get the lining back in afterwards. They are the Metropolitan Police lid of choice. Oh yes and an internal tinted sun visorThey are brilliant and I only wish I had discovered them earlier.
Tyres ... cold still.. deflate mostly, heat, friction .. movement .. inflation... check out F1 or any motor sport procedures.. (great channel.. 👍) good to see you on The Works latest too 😀
Freddie. Love you and hate giving you negs mate.
Please dont overtake on the zig zags on the approach to pedestrian crossings. Points on licence mate. And it can kill sir.
Don’t listen to music while riding. Pleeeeeese
I have offered to give you some advanced riding training in the past. You would really benefit from it mate xx
I have a cheap but good sound bluetooth system EJEAS V6 plus long lasting battery and charges from any USB-C connector and its fitthed in my HJC I 100 helmet
Freddie, why do you need another helmet? Don’t you have a couple of them. Can’t you put one of those cardio things on the side of the helmet and then you can listen to music? Why not just put iPhone ear buds in your ears and listen to your phone. You really don’t need to listen to music in your helmet. Listen to the motor, and the wind. That’s what it’s all about. Or ditch that lid all together and really be free. All though your probably better off not to if your gonna do all that fancy lane splitting in London. You couldn’t do that in America. That would get you shot.
Brilliant - more of the ‘rockabilly’ music please Freddie - nothing blends better than bikes and rockabilly.
Love the BikeShed also……
I use a similar type of reader for my RT, works a treat. It's called MotoScan and costs about £50, then you have to download an app for your phone which (from memory) is about 20 to 30 quid. Very reasonable price to understand what your sensors are getting excited about and to reset fault codes once you've fixed the problem. Re helmet Bluetooth: tempting though it is, I think it's a lot safer just to concentrate on the road. As we know, it only takes a second for everything to turn to shxx on a bike. Re filtering: I rode like you when I lived in London. The only time I got caught was when I went on the near side of an elderly driver who didn't see me and knocked me off. I didn't do that again. I was reminded of it when I saw you go the near side of the truck!
Fab jacket(the bk/white pattern) that your wearing...where can you buy it...??...
Hi Freddie,
(1) Why are you not asking fellow bikers , already using intercoms etc, for there recommendations ?
(2) It is always a good thing to hear what is going on around you and your engine.
(3) Do sports ear buds not fit in your helmet, no pun intended-ish.
(4) You do a good job and interesting.
(5) Well done you.
Hi Freddie give helmet city a look they have loads of helmets situated in tatsfeild not far from were you live and it's a nice ride Google maps will put you right
To be honest, I would't ride more than 5 minutes without listening to music. I find this very pleasant, especially on longer tours, and it doesn't distract me, but rather helps me stay focused.
I ride with a Nolan helmet and have a relatively simple Sena system. That fits my needs.
Autumn arrived bike tucked in shed how nice. Blag the Fiat 500 . What a surprise. We rode all year round. It was your mode of transport and dealers of motorcycles did well. Due to government legislation etc etc it’s become a say wisely a summer time thing only that a disaster. However as a nation of bikers it’s your choice . We will all be neatly put in a museum.😮
You can buy OBD2 scanners outright off the shelf for less than £50. without subscription . ( Carly in app purchases up to £110. per annum? )
It’s the overground that runs above the bike shed, not the underground. Seems obvious now when you say it. Some of that filtering made me cringe. You only have to be unlucky once. Back in my courier days we called pedestrians lemmings, with good reason 😂
I remember when the Bike Shed opened. I lived down the street at the time (you rode past my old flat in the video) and excitedly went to the opening night to find nobody else really there. You had to buy a membership to drink there and I was a bit concerned it wasn’t going to take off!
However within a few weeks it had become the hub of the London bike scene, I’d go most nights after work and met some great friends I still ride with today. I’d guess that the Shed birthed the interest in biking for a lot of people so thanks to Dutch and the gang!
Sidenote, that traffic reminds me why I don’t miss living in London!
I have a Shoei helmet and use the Sena 2 intercom system. You can listen to music and such likes, but I use it purely for Apple CarPlay directions. I would also use the coms if riding out with a riding buddy just to chit chat and plan coffee stops enroute… 😊
Finally the penny dropped😂
I never understood how you could ride all these years without music. I can’t last 5 minutes without music😂😂
I recently got a Sedici Helmet with built in speakers. Can stream music listen to radio, take calls, and connect with other riders. Didn't know what I was missing but it's VERY nice😎🍻
Me and the Mrs got a intercom system which I now refer to as the "Nag Pack" 🤣. But, it is very helpful because you have two pairs of eyes instead of one. Very useful when approach junctions with acute angles. Tried listening to music on the move many years ago and it was a pain in the neck and if anything spoiled the riding experience.
The tyres deflate because nitrogen is small enough to escape through the fabric of the tyre when they are cold.
As nice as the Bike Shed is, it just really isn't the sort of place where you're likely to find the latest Bluetooth wonder lid. It's a bit more at the hipster end of things. Not a criticism of the place at all but yeah. I absolutely love that Royal Enfield flat track bike 😍
Love your stuff Freddie but that filter overtake manoevre at the pedestrian crossing was insane! If I was you I would quickly edit that out that’s a 3 pointer for sure !!!
Music while riding is not for everyone. For me it prevents me over thinking, replacing my inner voice.
Something I learned recently - not everyone has an inside voice/able to speak to their self.
Flip front schubert with the cheapest Cardo for me. Works brilliantly for music, podcasts and audiobooks on long trips or dull rides.
I've got an intercom system in my helmet, music in the background on a long ride, lovely and stops me singing the one line I can half remember from some horrible song that got into my head from somewhere else for the next several hours.
There's a war for our attention going on Freddie. Corporations and the entertainment industry want every ounce of our attention spans for their profit. Motorcycling is a chance to be truly engaged and present in an activity and I think that's worth protecting.
I fitted a SENA kit to my helmet. I can chat to my mates on a ride, use the phone, listen to music it has been brilliant. The charge lasts for ages and you can fit it to any helmet.
Shoei rf-1400 helmet coupled with Cardo packtalk edge has been a fantastic setup for me . Cheers from NYC 🤙
Don’t buy any comms designed for specific helmets I did that with my shoei neotec and regret as the comms are not transferable if you change helmet . Have Sena 50s and Cardo pack talk edge both have pos and cons depends and needs not one has advantage
If that truck had pulled forward with the traffic you would have been pinned against the open van doors… never go up the inside of an HGV.
I'm in the market for an new helmet. I commute year round plus holiday on the bike. Will be watching with interest.
I'm afraid I've never understood the need/desire to listen to music while riding.
The Bike Shed. If I'm not mistaken, that's where Nathan Millward buys his gear. 😂😂😂
Be interested to see which helmet you end up going for! Please do a full “review” explainer when you do get it. I’ve been looking at the Shoei Glamster.
There are some good videos on Bennett’s bike social channel all about the latest helmets and new specifications.
I wouldnt like music while I ride. Like to hear the engine in case of issues and hear other traffic around me. Good if you are with a group and want to talk to each other I guess.
Infinity motorcycle does a good offer when you buy a new helmet and intercom. And don't forget Monica's new one also.
I think that driving through traffic like that is asking for trouble.
Always up for a Dobbs at the bike shed 👌🏽 #thebikeshed #freddiedobbs
Not impressed in your riding, it just takes one person to do something unexpected and you are in a world of hurt.
Love the bike shed, visited last year. Real paradise for riders….good eats as well…
I will be in the UK next year, the bike shed will be one place I can pick a couple of souvenirs ;)
Take a RE Himalayan 450 and test it in Africa. That would be fun!
Say hi to Harvey. Great video but dont miss the London traffic.
great vid u and monika always a great laugh, hope to see the helmet vid next
Yep! Keep freddie away from the mechanics of your Fiat.
Hi freddie, can I ask what jacket you have on? Thank you 🙂
