Congratulations! Freddie!! You have just passed level one of your advanced aqua adventure course, I am in absolute fits of laughter, cheered my day up no end, you certainly know how to film good content and great entertainment, expect this episode to get record views,... That Motorcycle Village Shop and it's collection of classic bikes must be one of the best I have seen in quite some time, well done all involved, took me back to the good old days of the sweet smelling Castrol R and the ding ding ding of high reving two strokes,... More of the same Please,... OAP Wales UK.
Riding through floods is quite common where I live on the mid Wales border, It floods here at least twice a year, I can safely say that my BMW GS is very capable of travelling through nearly two feet of water in complete confidence due to its high snorkel, so if you have purchased a GS and come across a flooded road, Go for it like Freddie, just don't follow a vehicle into it as you may have to stop, that's when the problems start,...OAP Wales UK.
I love your combination of enthusiasm and naivety Freddie, venturing into the unknown, whether it's North Africa with only a bank card, or Suffolk with improper trousers. Maybe just a touch less throttle next time, your jeans will still be soaked, but your face will likely stay dry. And the real trick of course , is to let the other guy go first, so you can see how deep it really is. As for the Ferrari, it's a Mondial, the successor to the GT4 from your "Picking up a Ducati" video. A rather lovely 2+2 you can take your friends (as long as two of them are tiny) out for a blast in. Mind you, a Lotus Esprit would be the far better car for those flooded roads, well James Bond's submersible one would anyway.
Watching Freddie going through all that water on a Bonny, while so many GS owners just use them to go as far as their local coffee shops, brings out the diverse ways people choose to experience their motorcycles.
'Two things are infinite: the universe and the human stupidity.' Having watched the videos that come after this, I sincerely hope it was the best coffee you ever tasted. It certainly cost you enough.
Watching you taking a stanley knife to your petrol tank was painful. Watching you go through that flood was the funniest thing I've seen all week. Only you freddie. Cheers for that 😂
TTT Motorcycles only left Bethnal Green 3 months ago. Very sad to see them go, Andy and the boys were always welcoming and helpful. Bike shops like this don't exist anymore in London but as soon as winter is over I'll ride up to Sudbury to say hello.
As someone born in the early 80s and as an eventual teenager who could drive in the 90s, I can attest that there were a few motorcycle shops like this where I grew up in SE Texas; Beaumont and South Houston specifically. They were usually some sort of older industrial work building being reused as a very mom and popish motorcycle store filled the smell of everything that comes with motorcycle old and new standing side by side. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
OMFG! I had no idea such an amazing bike place existed and less than 2 hours from my home. I’m going there ASAP, many thanks for revealing it Freddie 👍🏻
Everyone hates a know-all….. but shouldn’t you have driven slower through the floods? It looked brilliant ploughing through there like a torpedo boat and I really enjoyed it - so thanks for taking one in the name of entertainment! Cheers Freddie - keep the great vids. Good thing Monica wasn’t with you! Ps… who needs a defender! 😅
My thought process was that if I lose momentum, that may be more dangerous. Of course I speak with close to zero experience, so am very open to the fact I’m probably wrong😆
There's an infamous road in the UK that gets flooded periodically. It has a sign showing that cars shouldn't go through when it's flooded. Most out of towners barrel right through and destroy their engines by hydrolocking in deep water. On the other hand, on a bike, just make sure the water level doesn't reach your air intake. Don't slow down too much and never stop, to prevent water from entering the exhaust.
Possibly - but if you lose momentum and have to put your foot down .. well, trench foot awaits you! Part of the lovely nuances of biking! But yes - a steady, consistent speed is required. In cars and vans, most people go in far too quickly and the resulting bow wave is what cuts the engine out.. it’s rarely due to water entering the exhaust.
@@FreddieDobbs If you’d got water in your air box you’d have been in big trouble. Slow and steady through water. Cause as little wake as possible. The additional back pressure in the exhaust system just reduces power it won’t cause any harm.
This reminds me of my time living in Hawaii, in fact the frequent flooding was one of the reasons why I put a scrambler exhaust on my Bonneville. It's a lot of fun riding through all that until you're stuck with wet pants for the rest of the day. Cheers from the US!
Loved the floods, shame about the church, I distinctly heard Bowie singing hope that doesn’t cost you and fantastic walk around that bike place - seen someone else do something similar possibly TMF - your friend!!
Water hides sticks and branches and bricks etc that might have been swept into the road. Less speed is a good idea, with your legs up out of the way you’ll have little control over the bike if it ran along a two inch thick branch at forty five degrees. And if you do bin it you’ll hydrolock the engine.
The problem with deep water is that you have no clue what has been washed onto the road under water. See the recent Rufford Ford videos where a massive tractor and trailer dragged out two large concrete barriers washed into the road. Well done for surviving that though and great to see you out on the Bonneville again.
Nice one Freddie, who needs 'RAIN MODE' 🤣. If you are looking for a nice contemporary bike cafe with some unique bike builds & clothing, take a look at Koti in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds. A nice ride out with some beautiful yellow bricked thatched cottages along the way 👍
TTT Motorcycle Village definitely a place to go for me when visiting England on the motorcycle. I’m watching this video after seeing your Bonnie damage suspected by previous outdoor storage and wading the floods
Beautiful. The songs, roads, bikes buildings. Everything is wonderful. Missed the boat to come to uk and work for few years. Would have been beautiful to see the cars and bikes.
Z900 with quad exhausts thanks! What a tour of eclectic bikes! Thanks for sharing!! Going through flooded roads, keep your speed down, less chance of electrics getting wet - it's still a British bike! And you won't get so wet your self. The bike will get through - its not about the exhausts getting flooded - they will always push the gases out, just worry about the electrics and you getting wet... and also - worry about your chain getting oil washed out and needing maintenance afterwards.
Hi Freddie, so pleased you enjoyed TTT, don't think you'll find anything like it down in Kent. Also nice to see Borley, it's where I was born in '63. My dad is buried in the churchyard there, my mum still lives in the village. It's actually in Essex, the bridge over the Stour is the border. You were only a mile from where the peasants revolt began at Liston. Also the whole area features in Lovejoy. Hope to see Monica and you back in Suffolk before too long. All the best.
I do love your videos, Freddie, but sometimes you do the maddest things! Tank badge project, no protective gear (yesh, yeah, I know I bang on) and now ploughing through deep water! Lucky your poor old Bonny is still running! Be careful, Pal, you'll be needing a new bike at this rate. that said, you do make me giggle and with the state of the world right now that's a definite positive!
Excellent video Freddie, I have a Kawasaki Z900 RS and I definitely would have turned back rather than risk those floods! Great to see that classic Kawasaki Z900 from 1976, what a gem. 👍
I think others may have already told you Freddie. You don’t need to worry about water entering the exhaust. The only time you’ll have a problem is if water can enter the air box. Then it can be drawn into the carbs and the engine. Keep up the great vlogs they put a smile on everyone’s face. 👍👍
Same happened to me 2 weeks ago in Somerset!Coming home from work on my Triumph Rocket!Bow wave over my head!Made it through and thanked bike for getting me home😅😅😅
Great video, Freddie. Loved the bit where you were riding through the flood - Excellent. Was just about to phone TTT Motorcycles and buy that Z900 - Then I saw the 1 in front of the 2,500. At first glance I read the 1 for a £ sign. Wishful thinking!! or, more likely - What was I thinking?
Another brilliant video! On a sunday they do an all you can eat breakfast, food is 7/10 but the value and bike collection makes up for the food . Last time I was there I had to keep on dodging buckets on the floor to collect the rain from the leaky roof
Good morning Freddie, Great start to Sunday, thanks for uploading. TTT looks great & I can imagine your excitement when you first entered the building. The flooded roads: Bravado combined with a little tomfoolery = 🎯 Made me smile & really pleased you made it to terra firma ... Keep doing what you do. Have a lovely day and look forward to seeing your next video.
Loved this, Freddie. I once did a 10 hour ride from New Mexico to Breckenridge, Colorado in a March monsoon. It rained the ENTIRE WAY and included ski mountains and river crossings with water well above my ankles. To add to the fun, my wife was on the back and it was a brand new BMW R 1250 RT. It got bitter cold in the mountains. But there were a few good things I took from the trip… I learned that the bike is a lot better than I thought - it never once felt unstable. I also learned that good rain gear is the difference between a hospital trip and making the entire trip. (Albeit cold and irritated with the buddy that talked you into it).
Great video, Thanks for taking one for your TH-cam channel viewers and getting soaked going through the flooded roads. I was shouting look at the XT 500's I could see in the background but unfortunately you didn't show them, next time maybe. TT Motorcycles looks a brilliant bikers place to visit and and buy your dream bike.
very entertaining Freddie, especially you stood there in wet Cloth's! you definitely walk the walk, and not talk the talk. Keep up the good work. keep on Biking.
now thats love...lol...taking a bath with your Bonnie...LOL....gives new meaning to "liquid cooled"..lol...there were alot of classic bikes there that would look great in my garage..another great video..stay dry my friend..LOL...
Wow! What a ride, and what a great motorcycle shop! After watching this i dont think i'll complain about a few drops of rain. Your videos are inspiring Freddie.
Short story for you Freddie on the problems of water on the road. Back in 1983 I was riding my Z650 in very heavy rain behind a car on a major highway in Australia. Because it was night time and pouring rain I didn't even see the pot hole that I hit. But I smashed into this HUGE pot hole and it ripped the handle bars our of my hands and threw me forward. I was literally holding onto my fairing praying the bike would stay upright at about 130kmh. I had to, very carefully, reach back to the dials and pull myself back without touching the handlebars until I was far enough back to take hold of the handlebars again. I travelled at least a hundred meters with no hands on the handlebars. Anyway, a little further along there was a turn in the road and since the rain was so heavy and the road so slippery I decided to slow down quite a bit for the turn. When I pulled on the front brake the lever came right back to the handlebar with no effect!! Now I was doing 130kmh coming up to a fairly sharp turn in pouring rain on a very slippery road with NO BRAKES!!!! I just had to lay the bike over and pray the wheels would stick. Very worrying!!! Anyway, I got around the corner and kept pumping the front brake lever until there was at least a little resistance but I had less than 20% braking power and I had no idea why. I rode on in the storm and finally got home. I only had about another 100kms to go with the bad brakes. I got home close to 10pm from a 450km ride through numerous thunderstorms so I just went to bed. In the morning I checked my bike. What had happened was the pot hole had jarred the front brake assembly so hard that the actual disk had been ejected from the brake housing and the 20% braking I had was the piston from the brake on the disk. Of course, where I was in my home town, there was no new disk available. So on the Sunday afternoon I had to ride back the 450kms to where I was living with pretty much no front brake because it was damaging the disk every time I used it. That's how dangerous water on the road is! LOL!
Thanks for showing us this wonderful place! I have ridden in a flood like that but because it was raining I was in full rain gear. Don’t listen to any naysayers. I love that jacket! It is not something I would wear but I appreciate that you do.
Well done that man!👍 Who needs an Adventure bike.😂 I've been through a few quite deep floods lately but I was on a dirt bike with much higher air intake and well protected electrics. I don't think I would have tackled that on my Street Scrambler as the air intake looks pretty low down. The biggest danger with driving through a flood is you can't see whats on the road, maybe a rock, a brick or maybe a submerged branch etc which will have you off. Ask me how I know😡. I reckon the mud left on the road when the flood subsides will be more dangerous than the flood itself and will catch people out.
Blimey Freddie I can’t believe you took your bike through the water , I thought you would flood the engine for sure , great motorcycle shop with a vast array of bikes that Honda cb 750 was a special bike
The Suzuki GT750 used to be known as the "Water Buffalo". It's a water cooled, 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I knew a guy who had one. Cool bikes, great exhaust note!
Your cavalier approach to things like flooded roads is equal parts impressive and bonkers 😂
As an Australian, where we have flood waters across roads on a regular basis, I think it's one part impressive and 9 parts bonkers! LOL!
Fully bonkers..
Prophetic words
This could damage the bike!
After watching you plow through the water, I'm putting that on my 'not to do' list. Keep up the good work!
I realised my stupidity about 15 seconds in, but it was far too late at that point!
Did it on a Triumph Street Scrambler. The last bow wave near knocked me off, but great fun!
@@FreddieDobbscertainly not one of your better ideas Freddie, it's a motorcycle, not a boat 😂
Hey Freddie.. 🫣 dohhh 🤣 too fast matie.. But love it ya kept on going.. Keep it UP 😊
@@s.crambling3795 One good thing about a high mounted exhaust.

Problem is, when you drive too fast or water is too high and gets into the engine, it's game over.
Lifting your feet up definitely stopped you getting wet Freddie….Brilliant! 🤣🤣

Fantastic bike 'museum' where all the exhibits are for sale! I must get down there someday (preferably AFTER the floods have subsided).
Well done that man!👍 Who needs an Adventure bike.😂 I've been through a few quite deep floods lately but I was on a dirt bike with much higher air intake and well protected electrics. I don't think I would have tackled that on my Street Scrambler as the air intake looks pretty low down. The biggest danger with driving through a flood is you can't see whats on the road, maybe a rock, a brick or maybe a submerged branch etc which will have you off. Ask me how I know😡. I reckon the mud left on the road when the flood subsides will be more dangerous than the flood itself and will catch people out.
Blimey Freddie I can’t believe you took your bike through the water , I thought you would flood the engine for sure , great motorcycle shop with a vast array of bikes that Honda cb 750 was a special bike
That place has certainty embraced the quirk.
You are like a kid in a sweet shop in that place as most of us would be.
your luck held out in those floods,,, TTT looks like a cracking place to spend few hours,,thanks for video,,
That place.. wow.. oh and the new exhaust.. sounds great. 👍🏻
Ignorance is bliss Freddie, I think you were lucky this time. No way to treat a Bonny.😑
What an amazing hidden gem 🙌🏼👌🏼
Crazy but compelling watching, yep you’ve got me hooked on your channel. Who needs television any more.
Morning dances with motorcycles 😂
I thought this was going to be the last dance!😆🌊
The Suzuki GT750 used to be known as the "Water Buffalo". It's a water cooled, 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I knew a guy who had one. Cool bikes, great exhaust note!
It was called the Kettle in the uk.
Now having seen your footage on the fabulous TTT Motorcycles, your aquatic adventure seems fully justified., Great vlog!!
Some lovely stuff there
Freddie ! life on the edge, brill !
