- A video about a rideout and meet that was organised for an 85 year old guy who rode bikes many years ago but now is sadly ill and no longer has the strength to hold up his own bike. He has never ridden the military road on the Isle of Wight and it is his last wish to be able to do it at least once.
So Peter is going pillion!!
Good man!!
A great turnout here.
Permission was given from family for this video to be published.
didnt expect to show up over 20! Riders to come along for this Ride...
that was awesome, Man!! Hope Peter had Fun!!!
Greetings from Germany!
The biking community is a top bunch of people great support for this old bloke and good luck to him.
Yea the community did him proud and I’m told he loved it. Thanks for your comment and for watching the channel mate 👍
Bless you all for turning out for the old biker. Top lads and lasses. . It MUST be really hard to give up biking. I'm dreading it. Big call for him too to end it that day. My dad has just died at 89, and rode till he was 85. Ended up on a SYM 300 SCOOTER which he loved. Had an accident which sadly was his fault. He never really got over it, but biking played a big part in his life. This isn't about us but to you chaps showing respect for the old lad. He must have gone home feeling well chuffed. BLESS YOU ALL.
It was a privilege to have been a part of it and I’m told that Peter had a whale of a time fulfilling a lifelong wish. I dread the day when I can no longer ride but it just demonstrates that we have to make the best of times whilst we can. Thoughts for you and your family on your sad loss.
MAM.
I was born on the I.O.W and passed my test there when I was sixteen in 1969. We always tried out our new bikes on the Military Road back in the day. I left the island in 1981 and used to go back regularly till my mother died in 2016 but strangely enough was on the Island myself last weekend on my KTM 390 ADV. Of course I rode the Military Road but unfortunately couldn't do my usual round the Island tour because the roads going in and out of Ventnor have been shut due to landslips. I always used to ride Triumphs even had a new bonny bought from Deve Death in Carisbrooke on HP in 1976. Gave up the Triumphs in 2018 when I slipped over on a gravel fire road on my Tiger 800 in Spain a few years ago and realised I didn't need such a heavy bike to travel Europe and bought the KTM. Did try to do a travel log on the bike last week myself but had a lot of problems with the action camera 🤔 You did well without a helmet mount 👍
Thank you for your comment. Interesting story there. Brilliant.
Thanks for watching the channel 👍
Cracking turn out I’ve got a T120 and can’t wait to move there next year. Thanks for sharing buddy 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🤝👌
Thanks Jim. You’ll love the island mate. Hope to catch you at one of the bike nights or meeting spots.

Lovely rideout and some lovely bikes there.
I have two almost identical helmets although one is a full face (Shoei GT Air 2) and one is a flip face (Shoei Neotec 2). They were released by Shoei at the same time and are almost the same in shape etc, but one is modular. I've noticed that the modular is definitely quieter than the normal helmet. The neck seals tighter which stops noise entering from below. Modular helmets can look a bit "delivery rider" but if you get a good brand such as Schuberth or Shoei they are hard to beat.
Yes I’ve found the schuberth to be excellent and a snug comfortable fit.
Thanks for your comment and for watching the channel.

Excellent turn out for the chap. A pity you didn't get to have a chat with him about his biking history. I think that what you said was Kwaka was a Honda Goldwing early variant as it was a flat 4 engine.
Ah that’s great info thanks Simon. Yea that makes sense now.
Thank you for sharing. What a lovely send off for the older biker I'm sure he has a many a story to tell. Have fun and stay safe guys. :>)
It was great to be a part of it. Thanks for the watching and commenting my friend 👍
Maybe the old guy should record his experiences so they will not be lost to time.
When l am too feeble l will buy a Fembot to drive me around on the URAL side car outfit. She can connect to the Internet and do mechanical duties as well as other things. I can't wait. I love riding my collection of vintage British motorcycles. I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years.
