Bury St Edmunds and Krazy Horse's Fine Selection of Motorcycles!

  • After a lot of very kind recommendations, we ride over to Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds. This is a real destination dealership, with an incredible selection of motorcycles and motorbike clothing. From Indians, to Fantics, MV Agustas and custom bikes- this is a superb place to get some inspiration for your next bike, or some of the best looking gear on the market. It also has a nice looking coffee shop, that was unfortunately temporarily closed when we went!
    The boots Monika liked were the Forma Crystal ladies boots- they were so nice she bought a pair.
    I have an issue starting my Bonneville and demonstrate a quick and easy way to get it started (hack). This is one of the very few known faults with this era of Bonneville and I was kindly tipped off on this hack by a fellow Bonneville owner in Australia.
    With the Triumph working again, we head off to Bury St Edmunds for a coffee.
    I have a Q&A style vlog coming up soon, so if you have any questions about any bikes I've tested, about biking in general, or about me, please do write the question in the comments and I'll answer them in the TH-cam Q&A video.
    I hope you enjoy it!:)

I never would of thought what you do is something I would enjoy to the fullest. Yet here you are. Unforeseen. Rather like my Wife. Never knew what I liked or loved truly until it appeared before me. Your videos are similar to that perspective. Anyways , Thanks so much to you and Monica. Who is like Batman's " Robin". Who is part of what makes Batman so special. ;-) Keep on doing what you two do.

    Whilst I admire your ghetto fix on the Trumpet, one day it won't work no matter what you stick in there. A new solenoid is really easy to fit and only £41.17 from wemoto.

      @FreddieDobbs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Absolutely agree with you Paul. Interesting, the issue is actually the ignition barrel. I thought it was the solenoid so bought and fitted one, that didn't sort the issue, so I went to a mechanic who, after a LOT of looking, diagnosed it as a faulty ignition barrel. As a new barrel is around £220, and because the issue only happens once every 20 or so rides, for now I'll just live with it.

      If I recall correctly bridging the terminals on the starter solenoid doesn't work if the solenoid is faulty, so that means that the problem is actually the starter solenoid relay. I've done the same thing with a screwdriver on an older Honda I had.

    Bury and Krazy Horse were a recent discovery for me too (well, pre-Covid). It's a lovely 60 minute ride for me. I might well head up there today! Hmm... looks like rain though... BOO.
    Since you're in the area I'll recommend my more regular ride taking in Maldon and then on to Burnham-on-Crouch.
    Burnham is known with local bikers because of the 'Burnham Bends' on the way there (and because it's a nice destination).
    Park up at the monument next to the Cabin Dairy and wander down the quay and around the town. Lovely day.
    If you're going near Colchester give me a PM and drop in for a coffee at my place ;) Me and the missus would be glad to host you and Monika.

      @FreddieDobbs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question- I'd guess if they can't makes the pipes, they'd know someone who can! I'm happy because I get to ride, and Monika's happy because we get to go to lots of coffee shops- both are essential to maintain the happy balance🤣

    I bought a rear rack and pannier supports for my Kawasaki W800 from Spain. The price I paid was minus the Spanish tax, but VAT and customs duties were applied when it came into the UK. When buying from EU it should be a reduced price which takes off the local tax for GB buyers. But add VAT on anything under £130 and customs duty on anything over. I think that how it works.

Did you get to stop in Finchingfield and do any of the lanes through there on your way there or home? If you've not been to Finchingfield - get yourself there on a sunny Sunday, you'll love it - especially if there's a band playing at the pub on the green

    Questions for your Q&A Freddie
    1. When did you first get into biking?, and what was your inspiration for doing so?
    2. What bikes have you had since learning to ride?
    3. Do you have a biking hero?, and who would that be?
    4. When you’re not making great videos what do you do?
    Thanks a lot and looking forward to the next video.

    Questions. Hi Freddie, Just wondering about your thoughts on safety. Ild love to wear all the cool gear like yourself , maybe I would if I lived in a city where you never get up to much speed anyway but, like the cool helmets and boots, they’re not up there with the most protective of gear. I’m not talking about a full race suit but like to feel that if I come of then I’ve got a chance. Like the boots your looking for Monika, very nice agreed, but in an accident, they ain’t gonna do much . Love the channel. Cheers

    • @FreddieDobbs
      @FreddieDobbs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Scobe,
      Apologies I missed this one! Regarding the gear, I can't argue with you that the full leathers and high boots would be safer, but the extra enjoyment and freedom I get from wearing comfy lifestyle gear outweighs it for me. I just wasn't a fan of always having to wear so much protective gear for every ride, and then change out of it when I arrive at my destination.
      I know I do probably sacrifice some safety, but I'll just have to accept it:)
      I hope that helps!

    At 6:45 Yes Freddie, that is the new Chief. They are air cooled, and all have bobbed fenders. I'd really like to see someone make some full fenders for them. I actually like the styling of Indian Motorcycle fenders. They are the step up from the Scout without getting into baggers if you need something more than the Scout, but aren't ready for #Baggerlife yet. lol

  • @bigdavedogdad

    Re. the plate, Freddie, I have to say, you were lucky with the copper you had stop you. I've been pulled over in the past *just* for the plate being too small (same as yours). It totally depends on the copper (and their targets that month, maybe).
    I'm amazed you got pulled for speeding and they then didn't tag that on. Usually, if they stop you, they will look you over and add anything else that is 'wrong'.
    I do think it has to do with your attitude as well, though, so perhaps your boyish charm worked its magic! ;^)
    Also has to do with the kind of bike, I think. It's pretty obvious from yours that you aren't really a problem hooligan.

    Hello Freddie, just a thought, have you tried fitting a Motone Customs Headlight battery saver? It's some sort of magical wizzo techno thing that stops the main Dipped headlight from coming on straight away when starting the bike. To turn on dipped (daytime riding light) press the Full headlight rocker switch on and off again. I hope that makes sense!?
    It's something to do with the bikes Cambus electronics system (whatever that is) registering even the slightest drop in current and stopping the bike from starting. Don't know if that helps, but may be worth a try. I have a 2011 Mag Wheel Bonneville and it seems to work for my bike.
    Cheers Keith
