Sunday mornings…another lovely Freddie’s video, a cup of coffee and a breeze on the face..Thank you Freddie and Monika for allowing us to join on your journey. 😊
Cor, that start. The sunrise, the scenery, the soundtrack and filming was sublime. What better way to start on a Sunday morning? Thanks Freddie & Monika.
Your videos are so calming that I could recommend a daily dose to relieve high blood pressure. The early morning " sunset," blue skies, warm breezes, and the over 50 crowd was a beautiful way to start my day. 😢 unfortunately for you and Monika it's back to work producing entertainment for all of us to enjoy. Thank you from all of us for doing what you do and doing it so marvelous. 👍👍
Spot on Freddie!! I've been riding since the age of 16 , now 74. I still get the same pleasure and feeling of freedom when riding. A good bike becomes your best companion to enjoy life. Always will be that way for me. Thanks for another good video. Dave
'Last bastion of freedom'. Freddie man, that was pure joy to my ears. I almost shed a manly tear. Such a beautiful and revelatory video. One of the best yet.
For me, the king of retro is RE... Just look at the new classic 650. It's all about proportions, and RE just nails it. Always nice to watch a Freddie Dobbs VID on lazy sundaymorning. Cheers.
Thank you for this video Freddie and Monica.Lovely bike,lovely scenery.lovely weather and oh lovely bike.To watch this on a bleak morning really does wonders for me.Many thanks again.
I agree with you about the Bonneville, I've had mine four months now and can honestly say , apart from the problem I had with the clocks a while back , that it is probably the nicest bike I've ever owned, and I've been riding since 1985, it's just such a nice place to be .
Thank you for reminding us back home what the sun looks like. I'm on Wales/England border and not seen the sun for 3 weeks. Officially zero minutes of sun shine. Just a sheet of thick low cloud. Never known anything like it. I'm looking at flights now.
But zero rain as well so OK for riding. Anticyclonic gloom, brought about by a sustained autumn high pressure system over the entire UK (hence zero rain) typical of this time of year.
There is definitely something special about an early morning ride, the quiet roads enable you to enjoy the riding more and in Tenerife you have the sunshine and the warmth. The T120 is the perfect bike for that sort of ride.😊
Freddie, without having met you, and purely going on things you've said and filmed without words...you have a hole in your heart that can only be filled with a Land Rover Defender. I look forward to the look on your face when you finally succumb and buy one. Cheers, mate. Much respect, from Canada. 👍
Freddie & Monica, thanks for another perfect start to my Sunday morning. Even better, I rode the same roads on a Triumph from Easy Rider Tenerife on my last visit in 2022 and loved La Galleta as well. Now I want to make a booking for early 2025 to get back and experience that ‘freedom lifestyle’ that comes on 2 wheels in the beautiful Canary Islands. Your channel continues to be on my ‘must watch’ list and in many ways is like the T120 - “Best in Class.”
When I was a kid in the 80's I could identify 95% of cars without looking at the badge. These days I don't even try...Even my favorite brand BMW I find them "souless" for want of a better word. Great video Freddie😊
I 100% agree the bonny will never get knocked of the top spot so much went into the development of that bike I’m so proud to of been apart of that it will forever stay in my top five triumphs 🙏❤️
Completely agree with you on the T120. It’s the yardstick from which all other retros are measured. Looking forward to riding one around the Island in 3 weeks.
Morning rides are the best! My work has for decades had me getting up 330-400. Many, many of my rides are greeting the sun. It can be majestic when the Black Hills are in your back yard.
It's funny, I live in the earliest rising city in the world apparently, so 5am starts are the norm rather than the exception. It's a brilliant time for a ride, minimal traffic, no waits at the cafe, and you can be home in time to still have a productive day.
Beautiful Freddie! You’ve worked some magic because the clouds have finally cleared here in Blighty so we have a nice blue sky after a month of constant cloudy skies
Buenas Dias Freddie, gorgeous bike, beautiful sunrise and warm weather. It’s just above the freezing point here in Berlin, but this video has surely warmed my heart, as the Bonnie did yours. I love this bike as well and perhaps the Kawasaki w800, which is hard to find, is also a head turner. Enjoy your stay and bring back the sunshine! Greetings, Jim
Lovely music, sets the scene, truly an idyllic lifestyle, never tire of seeing Tenerife. Totally agree with you Freddie about cars losing their character, I recall the old Mercedes coupe (sadly, later vandalised) on one of your previous visits to the island.
Some cars can still make you feel special. My Z4 for example, the sound of the straight 6, the wind through your hair. But i agree cars are more generic and it takes something special to break that mould. Whereas all motorcycles give you the same feeling. On a summers morning it used to be an easy decision, get my Street triple out and ride, now i have to give it some thought before choosing the Z4 or the Triumph. Both give equal pleasure in different ways.
Hi Freddie. We have to learn to live slower than we do… it’s a question about enjoying the rest of your life. I did yesterday almost the same that you do in your video, but with a 1962 Vespa and a very old Leica Camera. There are Low-riders and there are S-low-riders. ;). Enjoy life. Cheers!
You always tell it as it is Freddie and you delivered the description of the Boneville as perfect as ever. The roads and the sunrise in Tenerife were just amazing and I would bet you wanted to stay there, opposed to coming back to frezzing cold and wet Blighty...
@@jameswatson5380 - that’s how we all started, it will hook you. I did my CBT January 2004, and by May 2004 I had my first Bonneville. Just a few months of diligent learning and you’ll be fine - a new hobby and life awaits.
Nice Sunday morning video, Freddie. On the subject of the best looking, king of the retros, that T120 is up there, but I personally love the CB1100EX from 2016 (which is why I bought one…). It looks a million dollars in red… Honda really nailed that late 60s/early 70s look, the way Triumph have captured their halcyon 50s/60s era on the T120. Enjoy the rest of the sunshine.
I was eating at one of those seafood restaurants behind you at La Caleta a month ago; the one I could afford! A lot of them were very pricey because of that rocky cove and the sea rolling in with waves making a great atmosphere. I will definitely return to swim there next year.
And here's Freddie going on about modern day cars being so generic... i've been shouting about that for the last 6 or so years! That's the main reason I only own old cars, ones that have charm and character. And as an added bonus, i'm recycling old cars and saving our limited resources. Wonderful editing and lovely music enhancing the island and the beautiful Bonnie 👍.
Beautiful Bonnie mixed with that surrounding 🔥. I’ve met a T120 owner a while ago and he said he most of the times doesn’t get past the 3rd gear, because of the power there is no need to keep shifting. He loves it though. The T100 is my daily bike and I absolutely love it as well, less powerful but lots of character thanks to more vibrations and more shifting (which is my preference). I tested both and am amazed by how different they are. Both great but just really different styles when it comes to riding characteristics.
Lovely vid - and 100% agree with the sentiments of cars becoming generic, utilitarian boxes - probably mis quoting but cars move the body, bikes move the soul
Sometimes its just better to get up that bit earlier in the morning to catch a view like that. I think you have outlived your 865 Freddie time to make some new memories on a new bike and this bike in this colour scheme could be the one. Great vid
Many time I've watched the sun rise locally, just me and my bike, theres othing like it. It's a beautiful place and you do look at home there, definitely a different way of life I could get used to, great video
The Triumph Bonneville is a nice bike, but I'm more of a Moto Guzzi fan. (Plus, I have a 2021 V7 Special). 2 of my main reasons are : the transverse V Twin looks so much cooler than the parallel twin, in my opinion. Also, the Moto Guzzi has shaft drive instead of a chain drive.
You would make a great travel show presenter based on 2 wheels. I watched a Stuart Fillingham you tube video explaining the time and effort put in to doing a presentable video that appears seamless. I for one appreciate what you do like I'm sure many thousands of other subscribers. A great inspiration. Many thanks. Les
Another lovely video on Tenerife, missing it and will have to return soon. Your right re the T120 Freddie, from the day I bought my T120 Black I knew then and now there may never be a better retro at the top of its class ever again and keeping hold of it, look after it like a child. 😂 it’s the best bike I have ever owned and will be passed down to my children when I’m gone. Lovely sunset, erm sunrise 🌅 😂 Looking forward to more videos on the island and wish you and Monika well. Cheers Nick
Great looking bike! Its would be a crime to change anything on it! Note that headlight is slightly facing up and that might illuminate poorly the road.
Freddie I think from watching your video it makes me wonder if I should stop thinking about trading my speed twin 1200 in for a tiger 900. The triumph retros do nourish you with a certain kind of nostalgia and freedom that another kind of bike would find hard to compete with 👍🏼
@Freddie Dobbs, I believe you need to come down under to New Zealand on a North and South Island tour. The roads are incredible with some of the best landscapes and coastline in the world. The price would ve worth it for sure!
Sunday mornings…another lovely Freddie’s video, a cup of coffee and a breeze on the face..Thank you Freddie and Monika for allowing us to join on your journey. 😊
Love it when you do bike days as it means Monica gets some me time.
"Biking is the final bastion of real freedom and character" - Freddie "Francisco Suarez" Dobbs 🤘🤣
😆
Cor, that start. The sunrise, the scenery, the soundtrack and filming was sublime. What better way to start on a Sunday morning?
Thanks Freddie & Monika.
Freddie you are the undisputed king of the UK motorcycle channels ...
Keep doing what you do. ( those Hoopoes feeding on the lawn were stunning)
Your videos are so calming that I could recommend a daily dose to relieve high blood pressure. The early morning " sunset," blue skies, warm breezes, and the over 50 crowd was a beautiful way to start my day. 😢 unfortunately for you and Monika it's back to work producing entertainment for all of us to enjoy.

I DO DECLARE DOBBS YOU GUYS MAKE THE BEST MOST INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, ENTERTAING BITS.
Spot on Freddie!! I've been riding since the age of 16 , now 74. I still get the same pleasure and feeling of freedom when riding. A good bike becomes your best companion to enjoy life. Always will be that way for me. Thanks for another good video. Dave
One of your best Freddie. Captured so much in this video. Very emotional in a good way. Thank you.
'Last bastion of freedom'. Freddie man, that was pure joy to my ears. I almost shed a manly tear. Such a beautiful and revelatory video. One of the best yet.
These films are so well done.
When driving in a car you watch the scenery go by as if on a screen,
on a motorcycle you are a part
of that landscape…..🏍️
...to paraphrase Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance...
Exactly! That left a big impression on many, including myself.
😉
Stunning bike, great video. I'm no expert but for me, the sound of that engine is up there with the Spitfire. 😍
For me, the king of retro is RE... Just look at the new classic 650.
It's all about proportions, and RE just nails it.
Always nice to watch a Freddie Dobbs VID on lazy sundaymorning. Cheers.
Agreed, I think the classic 350's are the sweet spot. And with that vintage look has the slower more relaxed riding style to go with it
Lovely video, thank you for taking us all with you.
Thank you for this video Freddie and Monica.Lovely bike,lovely scenery.lovely weather and oh lovely bike.To watch this on a bleak morning really does wonders for me.Many thanks again.
That Bonnevile is just stunning
I agree with you about the Bonneville, I've had mine four months now and can honestly say , apart from the problem I had with the clocks a while back , that it is probably the nicest bike I've ever owned, and I've been riding since 1985, it's just such a nice place to be .
The Triumph does look soooo good in the morning sun ☀️
Thank you for reminding us back home what the sun looks like.
I'm on Wales/England border and not seen the sun for 3 weeks. Officially zero minutes of sun shine. Just a sheet of thick low cloud. Never known anything like it. I'm looking at flights now.
And Ireland ....dreary
But zero rain as well so OK for riding. Anticyclonic gloom, brought about by a sustained autumn high pressure system over the entire UK (hence zero rain) typical of this time of year.
@gzk6nk We're constantly in cloud here so if you stand outside after 10 minutes you're absolutely drenched. It's vile .
@@paulyflyer8154 You must be quite high up. Cloudbase is around 1000 feet and about 2000 feet thick (but it does vary).
The sun never set on the British empire. You people messed up somewhere, and it was ending colonialism. Go conquer some sunshine.
Retired Veteran, thanks for the videos, definitely a part of my inspiration to ride again. And it’s been awesome
This Triumph is really something !
Beautiful video too !
There is definitely something special about an early morning ride, the quiet roads enable you to enjoy the riding more and in Tenerife you have the sunshine and the warmth. The T120 is the perfect bike for that sort of ride.😊
Love this. What a beautiful bike in an even more beautiful location. Stunning.
That's how to enjoy life, great video, thanks Freddie and Monica

As a confirmed 'morning person' I see the sunrise daily. I never got bored of it.
That’s the way to live. Love that colour scheme on the bike!!
Love the videos Freddie, perfect Sunday morning viewing over breakfast!👍
More videos like these please❤
Tremendous video Freddy, the scenery is spectacular, and the Bonnie is stunning ...wow what a beautiful bike
Thanks Dave! It is I think the best looking bike I’ve ever seen❤️
Nice vlog Freddie, bikes, travel, van life and nature, well done! Look forward to the next little roadtrip 🎉
Loved the hoopoe! The videos you and Monika give us are the best biking content on YT. Thanks.
What a lovely chill video for a dull Sunday morning 🌅
I experience similar thoughts about my triumph scrambler. Thanks for sharing mr. Dobbs.
Loved the episode Freddie. A big shout out to Monika for the selection of music.
Wow, what a beautifully filmed video. I don't really know Tenerife, but it looks fabulous. Thanks Freddie. Keep them coming please.
The thought of riding a motorcycle early in the morning in just a T-shirt. Heaven.
You are free to do that any morning you choose. Whether you enjoy it is a different matter.
@ haha fair enough
Yeah one little accident ruin riding for life. Take u risk u take consequence
I 100% agree the bonny will never get knocked of the top spot so much went into the development of that bike I’m so proud to of been apart of that it will forever stay in my top five triumphs 🙏❤️
Great video...and I suspect you may have found your next bike...should there ever be one.
Completely agree with you on the T120. It’s the yardstick from which all other retros are measured.

Great Content and visuals. Nice one Mr Dobbs
Extremely well shot Mr Dobbs 🌴 👍😎
Some of my best rides have been in the early morning but never with a sunrise as shown in this video 🇬🇧
“We have to work” 😂😂
High praise indeed for the T120. I have a 2017 T100 and wouldn’t even consider swapping or trading it……it’s a beautiful bike and a keeper for sure.
It's funny, I live in the earliest rising city in the world apparently, so 5am starts are the norm rather than the exception. It's a brilliant time for a ride, minimal traffic, no waits at the cafe, and you can be home in time to still have a productive day.
T120 Bonneville is just unmatched 🤘🏼
Beautiful Freddie! You’ve worked some magic because the clouds have finally cleared here in Blighty so we have a nice blue sky after a month of constant cloudy skies
Hello Freddy and Monika, We were also in La Caletta 4 days ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the lovely memories ! ! ! ! ! !
A face of content, it's what we all dream of. Well deserved, both of you :)
Buenas Dias Freddie, gorgeous bike, beautiful sunrise and warm weather. It’s just above the freezing point here in Berlin, but this video has surely warmed my heart, as the Bonnie did yours. I love this bike as well and perhaps the Kawasaki w800, which is hard to find, is also a head turner. Enjoy your stay and bring back the sunshine! Greetings, Jim
Hello over in Berlin👋 The W800 and also Honda CB1100 are very strong contenders, too🖤
Lovely music, sets the scene, truly an idyllic lifestyle, never tire of seeing Tenerife. Totally agree with you Freddie about cars losing their character, I recall the old Mercedes coupe (sadly, later vandalised) on one of your previous visits to the island.
If I had the money, I’d have bought that old Merc 🖤
@@FreddieDobbs Oh Freddie, if I had the money, I'd have bought it for YOU! 😎

Goodmorning Freddie, after a week on tennerife we are leaving paradise today. Thanks for the tip of playa benjio.
It was a beautiful place.
Ah brilliant- delighted you made it over to Benijo! It’s magical🖤 Have a good trip back, Ruben:)
The Triumph bonneville 900 or 120 will always be
King of Cool 😎
Brilliant video 📹
Hi Freddie. We have to learn to live slower than we do… it’s a question about enjoying the rest of your life.
I did yesterday almost the same that you do in your video, but with a 1962 Vespa and a very old Leica Camera.
There are Low-riders and there are S-low-riders. ;).
Enjoy life. Cheers!
That sounds GLORIOUS!!
What a mood piece! Totally worth the early morning brain freeze👌
Morning Freddie. Loving the videos back I. Tenerife.
Morning John, delighted you’re enjoying the videos! Have a great day
You always tell it as it is Freddie and you delivered the description of the Boneville as perfect as ever. The roads and the sunrise in Tenerife were just amazing and I would bet you wanted to stay there, opposed to coming back to frezzing cold and wet Blighty...
Nice vid to kick another busy day off, at the NHS.. It would be lovely to spend 6 months out
there.
Thank you Stephen🏥🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Now im browsing T120's and i dont even have a bike license!
Do it - take your test - life is better with a bike especially a Bonneville.
@ I booked a cbt. Wtf
@@jameswatson5380 - that’s how we all started, it will hook you. I did my CBT January 2004, and by May 2004 I had my first Bonneville. Just a few months of diligent learning and you’ll be fine - a new hobby and life awaits.

very much reminds me of the first video of yours I ever watched, Bonnieville vs Interceptor on the sands of Tenerife. Enjoy the slow life freddie x

A boat and a T120: you have freedom in the palm of your hand, Nick😀 Totally agree- the T120 is a keeper, there’s nowhere to move up to from there🖤
This could be your best ever video 👏 hard to watch and not be envious !
Thanks Freddie , for a little while I was able to escape and feel the island vibe too.
La Caleta. My favourite place in Tenerife.....
Great looking bike! Its would be a crime to change anything on it!
Note that headlight is slightly facing up and that might illuminate poorly the road.
Simply well done!
Thanks...
I like you find the t120 a great modern classic bought my green & cream new in 2018 it’s a keeper

Keep up the great work Freddie 👍
Freddie as lovely as it looks please wear a riding jacket stay safe keep up the great vlogs
Sadly Freddie is more interested in ‘style’ than his own safety!
Hyyyyy freddie again a nice movie. Fantastisch bike. Wait already on nexs on 😮
Serious Spaceballs vibes 😂😂😂
That's helmets huge on your little pea head 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for such rich content, Freddie. Come over to Kashmir. Let's explore the Himalayas!
What a great video. Love you guys. 🙏🏻
@Freddie Dobbs, I believe you need to come down under to New Zealand on a North and South Island tour. The roads are incredible with some of the best landscapes and coastline in the world. The price would ve worth it for sure!
Not wearing any protective gear, Freddie! 😮😢 Love the video and freedom comes in many forms, but riding a motorcycle is one that cannot be surpassed!
A super relaxing vid, tropical setting and a gorgeous bike. Beautiful. Definitely getting a few (chilly) rides in this week here! 😎
Great video Freddie, I think you are at your best on holiday
One of your best videos this mate 👍
You're right the T120 is the King of retro motorcycles, but sometimes I think my T100 gold line was more practical! 😉👍
