Classic Rides : Motorcycle Folk Tales
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Motorcycle Folk Tales are a series of mini interviews with people from within the Motorcycling sphere of TH-cam.
Starting with myself (because I was easy to book), this is the first in what I hope will become a series of mini documentaries on people from the motorcycling world on TH-cam; some you'll know, some maybe you haven't heard about yet.
I had thought about starting this project last year, but I ran into some negativity which derailed me for a while. But I'm back on it now with a renewed sense of purpose, so hopefully this video will provide a better explanation of what I'm trying to do to prospective 'interviewees' and maybe convince them it'd be a nice thing to do.
So if you like more of this sort of thing, please do let me know in the comments below and I'll try my very best to make it happen.
For more info on the channel, the bike and my travels, hop on over to:

This isn’t just another motorcycle vlog. It’s a public service. Thank you.
Thanks Del, glad you liked it 👍
I didn't pass my motorcycle license until I was 48, now just turned 65 I still enjoy riding my bike and can relate to what you say in this vlog! Cheers Classic Rides.
I think there's a lot to be said for getting a bike licence a bit later in life!
Wow nice, I passed mine the day of my 18 in 1989, and I am still riding 33 years later a Royal Enfield 650 Gt twin. Cheers from France.
By far the best film about motorcycling I have ever seen on TH-cam, it has an elegant simplicity which belies the effort and talent that went into making it and an honesty that is both refreshing and rare. Truly, truly beautiful
Thanks for the nice words Alex, so glad you liked the video!
Coming back to this, I've found myself thinking about how often on TH-cam we see and hear what people do on their motorcycles, what gadgets they've bought or what machine they've blagged from a manufacturer or borrowed from their local dealer but rarely why they do it, what inspired them to ride and why they first swung their leg over, and I wish there was more.
I really hope others see this and think about telling their own motorcycling story, I know you've got me thinking about how I would assuming I had a tenth the talent to produce anything like this.
In an ideal world someone would pay you to ride round the country listening and filming. I know I'd watch it, and I don't think I'd be the only one.
@@AlexOnABoat Thanks Alex, I had a hard time last year pitching the idea to some other TH-camrs, but now that I've done one as an example, hopefully, I can get a few more people on board. As you say, quite often we see what TH-camr's are doing at the time, but we never really see who they are, and I think that's the more interesting story in some ways. With a bit of luck I'll hopefully make a good series out of it 🙂
Matt, I guess there's nothing to say they have to be TH-camrs, as long as they can sit in front of a camera 😉
I come originally from the Overland & Adventure bike end of the spectrum, and there's a whole host of riders/authors/speakers with wonderful stories to tell who've never had a camera pointed at them.
@@AlexOnABoat Yes that's true, it's more of a strategic choice than anything else initially. It's likely that folk watching my videos will watch other moto-vloggers too, so I think if I can do videos on those people first, it could bring new viewers to the channel and hopefully once they see that the videos are decent, they might be more inclined to watch a video about someone they might not have heard of. Ideally I'm aiming for a mix of people you might already follow on YT and some you don't.
Diesmal ein anderes Video, trotzdem sehr interessant, Matt. Ich habe mit fast 50 meinen Motorradführerschein gemacht, und es war eine der besten Entscheidungen der letzten Jahre. Mein erstes und bisher einziges Motorrad ist eine Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, Baujahr 2021. Ich habe sie jetzt etwas mehr als ein Jahr und bin damit ca. 9.000 km gefahren. Daneben fahre ich noch eine Vespa GTS 300 SuperTech. Deine Videos auf TH-cam haben mich dazu inspiriert, Classic Rides in meiner Heimat in Bayern (Allgäu) zu unternehmen. Mach weiterhin so tolle, entspannte Videos. Ich freue mich schon darauf. Ich wünsche dir und allen Bikern allzeit gute Fahrt…
Thank you Andreas. The Guzzi V7’s are lovely bikes, I bet you’re very happy with it. Looking forwarding to seeing your take on a Classic Ride too!
Hi Matt, thanks for your incite, always interesting to find out how someone gets into motorcycling. I found my love for motorcycling from a young age when my Dad would take me, my brother and our cousins to local scramble events in the lare 1970’s, following scary brave riders like Graham Noyce and Brad Lackey fly off big jumps on big air cooled 2 strokes. Even now I love the smell of 2 stroke oil in the morning. Been riding ever since I was big enough and can hopefully keep going for many years to come. Keep up the good work….
Lovely to hear your memories so well written Jez!
Thanks so much for sharing Matt, this was a great reflection on our hobby - totally share the same values around enjoying nature through the motorcycle, I also picked it up during the pandemic for the same reason, it’s been a great way to disconnect, reset, and clear the mind. True pleasure to follow along as you capture these moments as well and great inspiration for my own photography/video journey - my wife and I visited the Peak District this summer and a little jealous its on your doorstep but at least I have your content to relive it through - great video as always, keep ‘em coming 😊
Hey Chris, your moto camping videos are excellent, I’ve been a fan since your first one as I found you when looking for Interceptor camping vids (your bike is 👌). You seriously deserve more subscribers!
@@ClassicRides ah cheers man, very kind of you to say, glad you like them, can be my way of giving back for all the content I’ve watched from you haha - slowly gaining subs but enjoying the process either way 😊
I really like your videos because they show that you can enjoy motorcycling without having to race on public roads. I also have a Triumph Bonneville and I enjoy it in the same way but without recording videos. Keep it up.
It’s nice to see I’m not alone in riding just for the pleasure of it!
Your best yet….a polished production yet a credible “from the heart” account of your journey to date….loved it 👍🏻
Thank you very much, hopefully more of these to come!
Sir, your channel is a gem. So elegant and beautifully put together. No words required to narrate what you experience. A big thanks for what you do and for showing another way of enjoying motorcycle riding.
Regards from Spain.
Thanks JL, glad you’re liking the channel! 🙌
A really lovely, personal and humble 'round-up' of your motorcycling 'career' so far! Thanks so much for all your videos, keep them coming!
Thank you, so glad you liked it. I’m definitely planning on doing more of these type of videos in the future, so there’ll be more to come!
Absolutely enjoyed this - think it's a grand idea for a series. These challenging times are ripe for uplifting "motorcycle folk tales." All the best to you from Texas.
Thanks my friend, good to see you're still around, haven't seen a video from you in a while!
@@ClassicRides Yes - as you know it's been a crazy couple of years. Will have one up in a few weeks as we're in the process of moving. Best to you!
Thank you once again. I am 3 weeks away from early retirement after 9 years in the RAF, 12 years in the Police and 10 years as a Chaplain in Strangeways….. I returned to the motorbike out of necessity but will soon be riding it for sheer pleasure…… for all the reasons you mention.
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement Andrew, sounds like you’ve had an interesting career! Hopefully we’ll have a short winter so you get riding for fun asap.
Much enjoyed. I'm 67, been motorcycling since I was 10. Started doing distance at 15. It's been a good life. I combined my two best pass times, riding and photography. I still have my first photo from the age of four. That's when we only had nine or twelve prints on a roll. Now I have done over a million. So life is good. I still ride. Life would not be as interesting if I couldn't. So this weekend I'm photographing the fall colors of the Appalachian mountains of East Kentucky and Southwest Virginia, USA. Keep up the good work. The video movies will be a work in progress. Learning editing is a real chore. Very time consuming. Hey hang in there. Twist the grip, see the world.
That’s quite the list of achievements you have there Sam. Personally I don’t find editing a chore, I’ve run my own studio for nearly ten years so spending time in front of a Mac creating things is just my day to day.
@@ClassicRides I did a lot of industrial photography/writing/ equipment reviews such as that. Vids shot on old VHS or 8mm format, pretty much primative at the time but it was what we had. I was younger then as you are now. I save mine for the winter months now. Thanks for the reply. I've been checking out your channel. Quite good work, enjoyable. Liking that Triumph, much the essence of motorcycling
.
Great video and please go ahead with other great videos. Very relaxing and great pictures!
Thanks Frederic, I’ll try my best to!
Great personal history combined with the art of your film-making has given your videos a unique slant on the hobby we love....
So glad you liked it 🙏
Thanks Matt , great to meet the man behind the films , please keep doing what you are doing 😀
Thanks Richie, I’ll certainly try to keep putting them out there.
Love this, I can so closely relate to rediscovering motorcycles and the joy they bring.
Glad you liked it Simon! 🙏🏻
Loved watching and listening to this. 🏍️💨😎👍
I'm glad you did! I see you're on a bit of Classic Rides binge, the videos get worse the older they are 😁
Congratulations! You are a very gifted man! Thank you so much for sharing you pleasure with us! Cheers!
Thanks Paulo, glad you liked the video!
Un petit reportage sur vous, plein de poésie et de modestie, pour la première fois vous parlez dans vos vidéos... On avait pris l'habitude de ne voir que des images, d'un motard paisible et discret, chez lui, avec son brave chien et un bouquin et sur un banc au bord d'un lac avec un thé au lait a la main... La moto loin de la fureur des villes, sur des petites routes champêtres dans la quiétude des jolis paysages que vous offre la campagne anglaise, telle est votre liberté... Continuez à faire de belles images... Jef
Thank you Jef, such lovely words! I’m sure the auto translation to English butchered it, but your sentiment is still very much appreciated!
Very enjoyable video. I first rode a bike (Kawasaki 550) in Germany, summer 1986. It wasn't mine, no licence, no idea and all a bit naughty. Instantly I LOVED it, and thought I had wasted my life up until that point. That day I grinned all the way from Munster to Enscede in Holland, and back. I still have that wonderous feeling every ride 37 years later (legally, of course).
I approve of that ‘jump straight in’ approach to motorcycling 😁. I suspect that just like you, I’ll be still be enjoying riding my bike in 30 years time (I hope anyway 🤞).
Hello Matt Enjoy your videos they are well filmed you can tell you love photography. I also liked the story about how you started to get into motorcycles and the passion you have for them I feel the same I have rode through the peak district and like it . I live not far from the Yorkshire dales so my wife and I love riding there . Keep making more videos please . Regards Brian.
Thanks Brian, you’re lucky to have the Yorkshire Dales so close, there’s some incredible roads there!
I love the tone of the videos on your channel. I'm finding it so refreshing compared to others. The videos make me want to kit up and get out on my bike straight away.
That’s great to hear Michael! Glad you’re finding the videos good to watch!
I’m so glad I came across your channel. In this crazy, chaotic world right now, you bring some calm and joy. I had a 2016 T120 when I lived on Vancouver island, I absolutely loved that bike but sold it when I returned to the UK. I’m actually out here at the moment and did a 300km ride yesterday on a 1984 Yamaha XJ750. I also made my first “video”. I don’t think Spielberg will be worried! Great videos and thanks. ✌️
Hi Jeremy, so glad you like the channel. There’s nothing like going on a long ride on an old bike, never really knowing if you’ll make it there and back 😁. Glad to hear you’re starting out filming your rides too, I’m sure you’ve captured some great memories!
great video, as always, I started riding in 1970, pasted my test in 1972, I still ride today, I have a 2018 Bonnie, and a 1973 gt550k Suzuki (2 stroke triple) I am 68 , the wife still comes with me, we both still love riding.
Sounds like you’ve had a great riding career so far, I hope it continues for plenty of years to come.
Enjoyed that Matt, I think a lot of motorcyclists can relate to this, it is freedom but in a good way.
I bet it won’t be your last bike, I’m on my 4th Triumph now & love them, it was your early videos that inspired me to go camping on my bike as a young 70 year old.
If your passing J12 on M56 & fancy a brew I’m only 5mins away.
Thanks Les, I expect there’ll be other bikes but I think I’ll hang on to the T120 for a long while yet. Thanks for the offer of a brew, I might well take you up on it sometime 👍
good job explaining the unexplainable! riding is, for me, getting to be the only activity i still enjoy fully, even after 45+ yrs of it!
Good to hear you’re still enjoying it after all that time!
Nice video how you started biking and some of your back ground ,gives a chance to see the person behind the camera,the silver dagger looks the business .Ride safe Pete.
Thanks Pete, hopefully more of these to come!
This is my go to channel in the morning with a coffee in hand, just hoping there's a new post. It's always beautifully put together and really watchable content. Do please keep them coming.
Thanks Grant! I only wish I could make them more often.
Good on ya mate. I'm 50 this year and so love my bike. Love your video. Thank you. 😉
Glad you liked it!
I love the classic touches you have made to your bike, I was almost fooled at first glance
That’s good to hear 😁, I think modern mechanics and classic looks are the perfect combination 👌
One of the best if not the best videos I ve ever seen concerning motorcycling....you are deep into the spirit....congratulations!
Thank you 🙏 So glad you liked it!
What a great video!!! I too have had a love affair with motorcycles for 63 years and even at 77 it has not ebbed. I am so happy that Triumph revived and built these bikes that allow people like me to be able to re-live the joy of their motorcycling youth. I also envy you the ability to get on those relatively auto free open roads as my journey to anyplace sans autos is long and, in my opinion, rather dangerous. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks Mike, glad you liked the video. I’m glad Triumph and others now make these sort of bikes, if it had been just modern style bikes I’m not sure I’d have had enough desire to get one.
I turned fifty that covid year. Ridden a 125cc for twenty years. And for the same reason I finally got my license and got me a bullet classic 500. Love it still, but also love the bonneville. Keep riding classic...
Well done on levelling up to the Classic 500 Roeland! That’s a great choice of bike I think.
Well done! Your motif - the bike, the environment, and the film-making - is so spot on and so necessary. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for including those false starts at the end. It makes it apparent that you are putting your all into it. Keep on!
Thanks Jeremy, glad you liked it!
Great idea to show family it doesn't have to be fast and dangerous. Keep em coming, very enjoyable viewing. Thanks
Well they still dislike motorbikes so it didn’t work 😂
Absolutely fantabulous. What a talent you have for film making 😊 Thank you
Well thank you sir, I’ve still some way to go before my waffling is on a level with you, but practice makes perfect!
@@ClassicRides I think you are far beyond anything I could hope to achieve 😊
@@TAYM ah that’s not true, we just do very different videos, yours are fantastic!
@@ClassicRides 😂😂😂
Not sure how I missed this one. Well done Matt. I wouldn’t mind more “talkies”.
Thanks, there will be more of these coming this year, hopefully 🤞
I’ve been watching your videos for ages and this is the first time I’ve even heard your voice.
I do speak, occasionally 😁
Damn you, Matt! Always raising the bar! I so much enjoyed this video.... somehow none of what you revealed about yourself surprised me. I visited the INTERMOT 2022 Motorcycle Fair in Cologne this afternoon and made a special effort to visit the Triumph stand and eyeball the Bonneville T120 in your honour!
Thanks for your pilgrimage 😁. Glad you’re still enjoying the videos Simon!
I enjoy your videos and look forward to each and every one
Thanks Steven, I hope to keep putting them out there!
I love your videos. Thank you.
So glad you like them! 🙏
Just discovered your channel via a recommendation from 'The all year motorcyclist' on today's Friday Mutter video. What a great find! Top work sir.
Thanks Trev, I do enjoy TAYM’s mutters, haven’t watched today’s yet though so nice to hear I’ve had a mention 😁
You have a beautiful serene presentation. For my money a wonderful Chanel.
Thanks Owen, glad you like the channel! 🙏
Beautiful machine! It makes me want to trade in my 09 Thruxton. Keep up the amazing work.
Saludos from San Diego
Thanks, that’d be a tough trade, the Thruxton’s are beautiful bikes 👌
Brilliant Matt, you’re a natural on camera. I felt like a nodding dog all the way through as I agreed with everything you said. Will be interesting to see who you manage to get on next 👍
Thanks Steven, glad you liked it! I'll be doing my best to get some well known TH-camrs on board, just need to sweet talk them first 😁
Hi Matt , i’m very late but i always enjoy watchting your vidéos ....
You’re not late at all Fran 😁 I won’t delete the videos so you can watch them anytime!
I love your films! I think you are living the dream! And for 5 or 10 mins we get to share it with you. Cheers : )
You’re very welcome 😁
Brilliant film mate I’m with you it’s 100% timeout ,ridings honestly the only way I recharge we’re lucky to have it as a tool for the soul shed goodonya mate ride safe cheers
Thanks dude 🙏
Your videos are always top notch.
I’m happy you think so! 🙏
Great… now I need to add a T120 to my bike wishlist. Cheers mate great video. I too could not live without a bike now. I’m 53 and enjoy a solo ride with camera.
A T120 would be a great addition to anyone’s garage 🏍️💨
First time I've watched your videos. Fascinating to hear the experiences of someone coming into it a bit later in life. I've been riding for nearly 50 years ( a few months to go to reach the date!) and we rode because it was cheap transport back then, it quickly became lifestyle, and my interest has never ever waned, Ride a 2016 T120 now as my principal transport, but I identify with lots of your comments, you sound like a decent bloke!
Happy 50th riding anniversary. I don’t think I’ll get to such a number myself, but even though I came to it late, there’s still plenty of time left for adventures.
Fantastic video; please don’t stop ‘winging’ it 👍
I’ll try not to!
Thought i seen all your vids. You sum it up very well. Riding motorcycles is and will always be my passion from 15. Now 61 and just moved to Cumbria. I'm going to ride to my last day. I can explore the north & Scotland. It's a scary thought those days are getting less. Off to the Pyrenees in 6 weeks with my wife for a two week tour. It's just the best thing touring with your other half. Keep the vids coming 👍
Maybe one day my other half will be brave enough to get on the back, I can live in hope!
You’ve plenty of time left for riding yet I think, lots of adventures to come and you’re in a great spot to have them 👌
Gran video amigo, como todos los que haces. Has descrito perfectamente lo que es ir en motocicleta. Tienes mucha suerte de tener tan cerca esas carreteras tan solitarias y esos maravillosos paisajes. Saludos desde Gerona (Cataluña, España) con mi también preciosa Bonneville T120.
Thanks Julio, I bet you have some amazing roads to ride too!
Thanks a lot for this video ! I really appreciate your work 💯🙌
Thanks for saying so, I’m glad you liked the video!
Brilliant video Matt. Eloquently put. I’ve been riding for nigh on thirty years and am a retired Police biker. I did more than my fair share of riding at speed during those years. But to me riding a bike is whatever you want it to be. Now I ride my bike purely for pleasure. I ride at a chilled pace, take in the scenery, stop for a coffee, enjoy a chat to perfect strangers and visit wonderful places. Where you are a photographer, I like to draw. I enjoy my own company, have my own headspace and it is the best therapy in the World. Enjoy your work my friend. To you and everyone who get it - ride safe.
Drawing was probably the only thing I was ever naturally good at, I might take some inspiration from you and get back into it in conjunction with riding!
Sounds to me like your attitude to riding is very much as my own, but everyone has different reasons for getting in bike, I’m sure some folk think riding at sub 100mph very boring 😁
@@ClassicRides Sadly I spent time on far too many occasions placing those speed worshippers you refer to into body bags. Adrenaline is a powerful hormone I guess.
@@palerider4015 that’s a side of motorcycling I’m very glad to not have had any experience of yet.
Nice one Matt you summed up how many of us feel
And not easy to talk to the camera is it !!!
Thanks Ian and yes, I much prefer being on the other side of the camera 😄
Thanks for sharing your pation
You’re most welcome Fabien!
56 here. New rider. “You do you” is a fair proclamation :)
Better late than never!
Just subscribed Matt, great video. I’ve ridden bikes for 35 years now, it’s very difficult to describe what they mean to me but this comes close
Thanks Stuart, so glad the video spoke to you a little 🙏
I’ve always said “ I love motorcycle’s you can give me any mc and I will take it, but I will always buy a Triumph”.👍😉 With my sidecar the
dog can go too.🥰
That’s the dream, wish I had the space for a sidecar for my dog!
Awesome 👌 👏
Thanks Kerry! 🙌
what a story brother, really enjoyed your spirit towards motorcycling..
Thank you sir!
Excellent 👌,
Thanks Dave!
Nice insight to how you got into bikes. As you said it will be with you forever. I started at ridding on the road at 16, OK at 15, with my 61st birthday next month I'm not going to stop. My only concern is the years are flying by and I have less and less days to ride. So to anyone who is thinking about it, gone on give it a go, life is too short.
A few months ago I met a chap who was 85 and still riding, so I think you’ve got plenty of years left yet!
I only recently come across your channel and loving your videos as they are visually stunning. I have been working through your back catalogue and can clearly see how you have evolved to the cinematic approach you seem to favour now. Your T120, well that bike never really caught my eye before but the changes you have made makes it look a really special bike 👍
Thank you for the kind words. I’m definitely still learning videography, but hopefully getting a little better as I go! I think the T120 is such a great base to customise, it’s almost a shame to leave them standard!
You took good decisions and the videos talk for themselves!
Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the video.
I like people with passion👍. Great video bro😉
Thanks 🙏 glad you liked it.
@ClassicRides I'm glad to see what I see. Keep going mate greetings from Poland 🇵🇱.
A lovely video !
Thank you, glad you like it 👍
Great video! Have been away from youtube for a while but love the video and the edit! Keep it up!
Thanks mate 🙏
Very nice❤
Thank you 🙏
Hello
Just discovered your channel and loving it keep up the great work and fully agree with you regarding what riding gives you.
I also started riding around 40 and just past 60 now and still loving it
Ride safe 😊
Hi Kev, glad to hear your liking the videos, great to have you onboard!
Really good content & well put together! Keep up the good work😃
Thanks Brian! 🙏
Awesome video man! Im a photographer based in the Philippines and I currently own an Interceptor 650. I can really relate to your video. Awesome work! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thanks Nathaniel, you’ve great taste in bikes!
Great stuff....you sound a tad like me.....came to bikes late on....later than you....63 no 69....on my 2nd bike....a T100 never part with it.
Love putting my own slant on it.
I think the difference between the RE and the Triumph.....Triumph OOOOZES quality.....and its just so much more classy.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Nick, the Bonnies are such great bikes aren’t they!
Simple wonderful
Glad you think so!
Nice one Matt...
Thanks Henry! Glad you liked it.
I enjoy photography and biking, funny enough I have a intercepter 650 and thinking of getting t120 😂 , keep up the good work I love your videos
Thanks! You’re a man of good taste I see, if you do upgrade I’m sure you’ll enjoy the extra power a lot 😁
Of all takes, I love the outtakes at the very end. Ha. How many of us have those. But you shared them with us. Great video. But the outtakes were very "real." Working on mine. Appreciate the advice.
Glad you liked the outtakes, I always enjoy those bits when they’re included in other peoples videos so thought I’d include my own 😁
Great video mate 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you dude 🙌
felicitous Vlog 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Ahahah i live in Thailand i tottaly relate to your initial story, things never change around here. It happened exactly the same to mee
There must be thousands of people who have their first biking experience that way 😁
Didn’t get my first bike until I was 57. Bought a 600 pound bike with no idea how to ride it. Softail Deluxe. Ride a Triumph now.
I like your commitment to diving in at the deep end! 😁
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄😄😄😄
🙏👊
Good Morning Matt, I can’t find any Vance&Hines peeshooter slip ons here in the states. Are there any available new or used on your side of the pond?
Hi David, I’m sure there could be. Your local Triumph dealer would be your best bet though.
Could you also do a vdo behind the scene?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I probably won’t do a behind the scenes video as I’m not sure what benefit it would be. Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂
Nice vid, do you shoot all your own footage, or is there someone helping.
Thanks Walter, I shoot everything myself as I find it much easier to get what I want alone.
..tutto molto bello, moto, ambiente, strade..la tenda no..amo la comodità di una doccia e dormire su un letto..🤔
Each to their own. I like sleeping on a bed too 😁
Biker impaled on the tail fin of a 1960 Cadillac…….😬😬😬
Okay 👍
What a great and heartfelt film. The thing I love about bikes is everyone has their own story and journey with them and it doesn’t have to be all about going faster. My last GS only ever commuted through London, never did a trip on it and when the pandemic hit, the commute stopped. I traded it in for an R9T and fell in love with biking again where it’s all about the ride rather than just getting from A to B. Keep the films coming, they’re awesome
Glad you like the film Marcus, I keep hearing great things about the R9t’s, I’ll have to try one one day!
It is funny how some bikes just 'call' you. I first started following your videos because I wanted to buy a T120 and watched everything I could find on You Tube. I ended up buying an 8 year old Thruxton 900 after test riding just out of curiosity and falling in love with it.
That’s how you know it’s meant for you, you didn’t set out to buy it but you couldn’t not!
Great story, the channel is going to be a success, I subscribed right away having seen Strines Moor !
Thanks so much for the sub James, I’m planning on doing more of these so hopefully you’ll stick around for them 🙂
You're very fortunate for where you live and we're very fortunate to have bikers, like you, who constantly share their passion and try to inspire and motivate us, motorcycle fans, to pursuit our riding hopes and dreams. Videos like yours are truly amazing and keeps us going when the tough gets tough or "life" gets in between for a while. Eventually I will have mine, get back on the road and follow suit. Thank you Mat!! 👍👍
It's always good to have something to look forward to, so I hope your drive to get a bike keeps you going until you're there, having your own adventures Nelio.
@@ClassicRides thank you Matt!
Absolutely spot on mate 👌. I can relate so much, and you continue to be an insperation 💪
Thanks Teddy mate!
@@ClassicRides I watched this as I was uploading my first effort at a Vlog, mine is obviously nowhere near the standard you’re working to and I was in two minds weather to put it out there at all, thx again for being an inspiration and a confidence boost too 👍
@@TeddyRides it takes a lot to put yourself ‘out there’, so I think feeling uncertain about it is totally normal. Keep going though mate, it’s all a process!
Saludos de Perú, Sudamérica. Hermoso y superlativo canal.
Thank you 🙏 👊
I’m french, continue de nous faire rêver d’outre manche, Dams BONNEVILLE T100
I’ll try! 😊 thank you!
bloopers looks like myself talking :) Funny fact is that I was the opposite with motorcycles and photography. Even I started photography when I was 11 ish then I quit it for a while and I started doing it again because I wanted better pictures from my motorcycle trips ;)
Photography and motorcycles go so well together. Your trips always look incredible so I’m not surprised you wanted to try and capture things properly.
I only discovered your channel today. It's different. The filming is captivating (are you a media professional?), the commentary intelligent. Needless to say I have subscribed. And liked!
My main interest was always flying - aerobatics, farm strips, back country flying in interesting old tailwheel aeroplanes which are so much more fun that modern ones. I got my PPL licence at age 29 in 1978 and had 35 fabulous years of aviating, but many flying mates were into bikes, so at age 50 they persuaded me to do DAS and get a bike!
I've had VFR, Blackbird, 1150 GS (rode to the Sahara and back on that from Cheshire), 1979 T140D Bonneville (last of the true Meriden Triumphs), W800, R9T, and now as of a few months ago a 2023 Bonneville Speedmaster. I've also had 'little bikes' alongside the big ones - originally a Honda C90, then a 2012 125cc Innova I bought in 2015 and still have, and probably always will.
I'm now in my mid '70s and stopped flying a few years ago, but enjoy my Speedmaster and Innova. I'll ride bikes for as long as I can.
Congrats on the channel!
Cheers
Vince
Thanks for the subscription Vince, sounds like you’ve had a very interesting and varied automotive career, I bet you must have some great stories.
I’m a commercial photographer but video is fairly new to me, so still learning as I make videos for the channel. Hopefully they’re getting better as I go along 🙂
