Riding a Triumph Bonneville T120 through Sherwood Forest.

- Riding my Triumph Bonneville to Sherwood Forest, home to the legendary Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
Another early morning start saw me stopping briefly to take in an amazing sunrise over the moors, but as is the way in the Peak District, I became quickly engulfed in a thick fog while shooting some footage. Thankfully my Bonneville T120 was there to blast us through the murk and back into sunny skies for an amazing day's motorcycling.
In modern times, Sherwood Forest is a much smaller version of an older and much grander landscape that covered swaths of Derbyshire. Although it's not possible to ride a motorcycle through the modern Sherwood Forest, there are places such as Clumber Park, which was part of the original Sherwood Forest that you can ride through, and in my opinion it's very much worth visiting if you're in the area.
Close by are the magnificent remains of Bolsover Castle, a truly breathtaking 17th Century ruin that stands upon the grounds of former castles and forts going back as far as the 12th Century. It's not hard to imagine Robin Hood and his men battling evil Sheriff's and Barons in the grounds of the estate!
This part of Derbyshire is a wonderful landscape to explore by motorcycle, stepped in history and myths, each small village you pass through has it's own rich history, full of heroic characters and ancient ghosts.

I lived in the UK for 27 years of my life and there are so many places I didn't get to and this place is one of them. Thanks for sharing Matt. Beautifully filmed and put together as always.
Glad to have brought a little slice of the UK back to you Nick 🇬🇧
You just reminded me Robin of Sherwood .. a British television series in 80's based on the legend of Robin Hood
I’d have been a bit too young for that one, But Maid Marian with Tony Robinson was a favourite of mine as a kid 😁
Thank you for bringing us all along on your adventures. These will keep me sane during the winter months.
Glad to be of service David 👍
Great video 👌 never seen Clumber park filmed like that, I live just down the road and ride through there all the time and walk the dogs, lovely on a nice sunny day. And the photography of Bolsover Castle was superb too. Thank you 🙏
You have a great place on your doorstep, I hadn’t been before and I think I missed a lot of the park, it’s a good excuse to go back though!
Well done! Beautiful and relaxing. Love the pre-ride shots!
Thanks Ross. If I could’ve made sunrise last a bit longer I’d have done the whole video like the opening shots 😁
Thank you. Lovely work, brightened up my week.
Well I’m glad it did 🙏
Another beautifully shot video Matt. First class Sir 👍
Thanks JLo, I appreciate that you think so 👍
Another superb vid ,I am in awe of your eye and editing skill ,thanks Matt
Thanks Richie, I’m still learning on every video but hopefully I can keep improving a bit each time!
I think this is your best one yet. The opening fade in then the ride through the fog were incredible.
Thanks Jim, the 3.3am start to catch the sunrise seems worth it now!
hello Mat, I'm glad that the temperatures are normalized in your country, here quite the opposite, very cold..., beautiful video Mat and I'm surprised how clean your motorcycle always is, I have a friend who is just as detailed as you , with his..., as I have told you before, a pleasure to see you, a big hug and a good weekend to you and your community
Hi Julian 👋. The camera hides a lot of dirt on my bike, I don’t clean it enough really! 😁 I hope your weather warms up at bit, we are back to rain now in the UK 🌧. I hope you’ve& your family are all keeping well!
Top video, Top bike and Top landscapes. Keep riding
Thanks Juan 🙏
Hi, really enjoying your videos, so well put together.
Thanks, so glad you’re liking them 🙌
Большое удовольствие смотреть твои видео )
Glad to hear you enjoy them! 👊
Another great video Matt, covering a variety of seasons in 1 day.
That’s the Peak District for you! Glad I didn’t catch any rain though 😁
Nice little Video! Great Days!
Thanks Pete 👍🏻
Great channel, been following for a while but only just subscribed, lovely bike and great video footage, inspired my to get my GoPro out on my Triumph scram, keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub Mark! Glad to have inspired you to get there and film some of your rides 🏍💨
Another amazing video Matt, well done!! Minute 1.19, what an awesome framed photo it could be, wow!! 👍👍
PS, what a soundtrack too, spot on!!
Glad you liked it Nelio, it’s hard work getting up for sunrise in summer, but so worth it for scenes like that!
Lovely, Matt. Nice to see the drone footage is back!
Hopefully I’ll re-learn how to fly it properly for the next video!
Another chilled vid...you can just imagine your there too.
Mission accomplished then sir!
Hi Matt. I really can’t say or add much more than what the other comments have said other than thank you. Another great job and brilliant video.
Thanks John, so glad you liked it 🙏
Great start to my morning. Cant rider yet, so this a relaxing alternative
Glad to have been of service Mark 👍
again a very nice video beautiful views..thanks for your effort🙂
Thanks Omer, so glad you liked it 🙏
Thanks Omer, so glad you liked it 🙏
Wow, always great!
Thanks Atsuki 🙏
Que bonito buen paisaje buena música y buena moto que tranquilidad trasmite gracias por tus vídeos 😊😊
You’re welcome Paco, glad you like them 🙏
Great video…did the same ride recently through the stone arch all the way through Clumber Park with the Mrs as Pillion. At the very end (back to main road) went for a coffee at the cafe directly across before riding back. Excellent footage as usual. 👊😎👍
Sounds like you had a lovely ride out!
Another Classic Ride 👍👍👍
It certainly was Tim!
Wow!!!.Yet again a superbly filmed, edited and produced video. Love the choice of music. Absolute pleasure watching the movies on your channel. Triumph and Belstaff should be sponsoring you at the very least. So many great adverts for Belstaff, the Bonneville T120 and the Triumph brand.
That’d be the dream JG! Glad you liked the video 🙏
I couldn’t agree more. The same words and sentiment I would have used.
@@johnwalsh408 thanks John 🙏
Another great film Matt really different approach you've taken have to say very impressed with the quality and loved the soundtrack well done you
Thanks Ian, just trying to make content I'd like to watch myself, so hopefully they're worth the effort!
Very much so Matt your a talented guy
Hi Matt, your camera work is first class the T120 looks the business,I have a T100 and keep it gleaming I would keep it in the living room but the boss won't let me. Ride safe and keep safe Pete.
Thanks Pete, my boss-lady has a similar view about my bike, it’s the only thing she’s not happy about me spending time cleaning 😁
Just beautiful
Thanks 🙏
Marvellous 😊
Haha, thank you 🙌
Quality video!!!
Thank you 🙏
Great photography 👍
Thank you very much sir!
Wonderful!!
Glad you think so Mark!
Hallo, immer wieder schöne Videos, weiter so.
Thanks Andreas! 🙏
Buenas, genial video para mí personalmente me gusta más este tipo de vídeos,la tranquilidad y la paz que transmite,ha seguir así un saludo desde España.
Thanks Eduardo, so glad you like the type of video!
A Bonnie in Sherwood, very British of you 😊🇺🇸👋🇬🇧
It’s the perfect bike for riding through the British countryside 🇬🇧
Lovely video ,,
Thanks Terry👍
Hi classic rides, another great vid and Forrest to see
id
I'd definitely recommend giving it a visit Paul!
Bloody magic. 😎👍
Glad you think so Peter!
SHERWOOD FOREST 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 ALSO YOUR RIDE SIR JEE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks again! 🙏🏻
Great ride Matt! And thanks for the added info in the description. Quick tip: wear your won t-shirts; they look great and it would be good product placement 😁
Thanks Paulo, I do try to wear my own T’s, but for this video it was still in the washing basket 😁
@@ClassicRides 😂😂
great video. Only thing I wanted was to listen to the Vance and Hines
Thanks Raj.
I could be a "merry man" if I had the lovely scenery and temperatures less than +43C where I live! Love your videos and I have put some of the listed Motone parts that you have on your bike on my own T20 because they look good on yours.
Glad to hear it Mike, I bet your bike looks great! I need to get some shares in Motone 😁
@@ClassicRides Have to ask, does your Motone gas cap smell of gas during your rides? Several people on Triumph forums have complained of gas fumes that were not present with the stock cap.
@@mikepopelka2349 not personally Mike, I’m no shill for Motone but my gas cap seems a sturdy piece of kit. I have had some issues with some of Motone’s stuff, but not the gas cap.
@@ClassicRides No, I don't believe you are a shill for any company but I've had trouble with the Motone gas cap as well as another type from another company to my great disappointment. Incidentally my 120 is the same color and possibly year as yours 2020😎
@@mikepopelka2349 Well I hope you get the gas cap issue sorted Mike. My bike's actually a 2017 and is Aluminium Silver, I actually nearly bought a 2020 silver bike like yours, which is a little bit darker in colour, but I got too much of a good deal on the 2017 one :)
Um passeio 💯 uma máquina 💯 uma paisagem 💯 👏 ABRAÇO
It’s all you need! Thank you 🙏
@@ClassicRides Perfect! ✌
Just come across your channel and enjoyed your trip through Sherwood forest. I was impressed by your soft panniers, who makes them and have you the standard Triumph pannier rail fitted. 👍
Hi John, glad you liked the video. The panniers are actually my own brand, I started to sell them as a way to fund the channel. If you’d like more info on the bags you can find them at www.classic-rides.co.uk/shop 👊
Thank you Matt for your reply and info on the panniers. I will certainly have a look at the link you have given. Many thanks John
Great bags Matt and I have now placed my order for two. Many thanks John👍
@@johnimmins7302 thanks John, really appreciate it! I’ll get your bags sent out tomorrow. Also I realise I didn’t answer your earlier question re the pannier rail. My rails are from Motone Customs, the Triumph ones seem a little overpriced to me.
Luckily, the T100 came with a rail system fitted and your bags should fit ok.
👍
Great video, as always. Could you tell me the make and model of the motorcycle helmet you used in the video. I was particularly intrigued with its separate tinted visor as well as the clear one. Maybe you could do a video of the kit you have
Thanks Chris, glad you liked the video. The helmet is an Arai Profile V with the optional Arai Pro Shade visor system. It works really well and is a good option since you can't have drop down sun visors on Arai's. The Profile V helmet has been discontinued for a while now but I believe the Debut V is identical.
The is coming. Motivation
Thanks 🙏
Brilliant stuff! Beautiful scenery and a gorgeous bike in the middle of it. Does the plate ever attract the attention of the local constabulary?
I haven’t yet, I’m sure I’ll get collared one day though 😁
Nice video ! Nice place ! Nice bike ! What else ?
A nice cup of tea maybe? 😁
@@ClassicRides ahahahahahha yes for sure ;)
Another great vid. I have a silver 2018 so have to say I admire your taste. Haha.
Looks like you have the triumph bar end mirrors, is that right? Also, what flyscreen do you have? I’m looking for one that is nice and small like that with a color that matches the bike.
Ah, found the webpage where you’ve listed all your add-ons.
Good to see you found the info you were after, and I think everyone knows that silver T120’s are the fastest ones 😁
Hi. What kind of windscreen and bags have you got? Looks great 👌
The windscreen is from Motone Customs, it's the Microblade screen in a mirror finish. And the bags are my own brand, you can find more info on them at www.classic-rides.co.uk/shop
Hi matt
Just re visited this film its a superb piece of filming well done
Any news on the bike is it fixed yet ?
Hi Ian, thanks, the opening scene in this video is one of my favourites. The bike's all fixed now and ready to go, just the weather's still broken so I've really not had a chance to get out and film anything, the north Peak District seems to have been in some sort of little band of rain for almost two months now, it's been incredibly frustrating. It's looking drier next week so hopefully, with a little luck, I can get something filmed 🤞🏻
@@ClassicRides great news looking forward to it matt
Have to say I haven't even been out on my little bike its been so wet and cold
Still get the dreaded Christmas thing out of the way and soon be warmer climbs
Wishing you and your family a good one and thanks for the films this year
Thanks Ian, all the best to you and your fam too over the Christmas period. Longer days are coming soon so finger's crossed next year is a bit drier than this one.
Thanks.... great video! What a beautiful bike. I've a question about the number plate, basically is it legal? I thought it was was a requirment to have number plates in yellow and black and a bigger size. I love the look of the black and silver plate, and would love to put one on my bike if I could. How do I go about it?
Hi Clive, the number plate’s not legal at all, so I couldn’t recommend anyone put one in their own modern bike. Personally though, I’ve not yet had any bother for it (& I’ve had traffic police right behind me a few times), I think it depends on how your bike looks and possibly how you’re riding. Plus I wouldn’t have it on for a long trip. It’s definitely a risk, but if you choose to go for it there are plenty of folk selling the plates as novelty items on eBay, should be about £10-£15 for one.
Hi, where was the house ruins you walked round during this video?
It’s called Bolsover Castle, we’ll worth a visit 👌
Привет,! У меня 8:00 утра и прогноз такой, что должен быть дождь. Не хотел ехать но Посмотрел твоё видео … и решил ехать на мотоцикле , пусть даже будет дождь , спасибо за вдохновение ….. ну все я поехал … пока пока ….могу скинуть фото
I’m glad I inspired you to go for a ride, I hope you didn’t get too wet! 🌧 🏍
マットのt120はハンズ＆ハインズのマフラーが付いているんですね。とても良い排気音です。もしもt120に乗り換えることがあったらマットのバイクを参考にします。クロームメッキがかなり使われていますがマットがカスタムしたのかな？それとも特別仕様車なのかな？うまく英訳されていたらよいです。ご安全に！
Thank you so much 🙏. Most of the custom parts on my bike are from Motone Customs 😊
そうなんですね。調べてみます。ありがとうございました！
@@user-uc1ux5qb5r You're welcome!
Where is the forest in Sherwood Forest? O wait - at the end of the video one can see it...
Ok
Bugger - you made me buy one: arrives Thursday - Rocket 3GT is sulking in the garage…🙄
😂 well done, you won’t regret it! 🏍💨
I prefer yellow back number plate
Ok great
If carlsberg did motorcycle videos...........
Thanks Stephen 😁🙏
good to lie when there are no mosquitoes🤣🤣🤣
The wind helps blow them away 💨
Could do with less music and more sound from the bike.
Can’t please everyone 🤷🏻♂️
Can someone please tell me where he bought the rear lights and fender for his T120?
Hi Keith, I replied to your last comment asking this same question. They're from Motone Customs.
