After many recommendations, we rode off for the very first time to Orford- tucked away by itself on the east coast of England.

I love watching these old English towns and pubs you visit. I live in Norway and currently surrounded by ice and snow and the only bike activity I do now is using the battery tender from time to time 😅. The seat going back is a good thing as I think black was a better look for the Bonneville.

@lynnbroadhurst4807 Год назад

Great video Freddie! Love that you take us off on a little tour of the church! You are so right, if only we look around more and see these buildings that have so much history to them. Lovely music choices too.... Just what I needed after work! Glad to hear Monika is getting more weather - proof gear, heated gloves are a must!

@FreddieDobbs Год назад

Thank you Lynn, so glad you enjoyed it! We really are spoilt for things to see here🙂🇬🇧

@WhiskyStuff Год назад

Just want to echo Lynns comment. I like how you make your channel more than just the motorcycles. The activities you can enjoy riding is often overlooked and I like how Freddie and Monica act as a team bringing us along on their adventures. I rode my Moto Guzzi V7 to Orford, to see the castle last year. Unfortunately, it was under construction and completely wrapped up with scaffolding. That area is stunning. Thanks Again Guys...

I had an American friend over and showing the around London. We got to the Tower of London and told them that the oldest part of the Tower was the White Tower built by the Norman's a 1000 years ago. They then asked about a small piece of wall opposite the Tower and was that a 1000yrs old but I had to explain that was a piece of the Londinium boundary wall, built by the Romans and was 2000yrs old.

Come from Cambridge originally, now 32 years in Amsterdam. Love riding my Speed Twin around here, but miss the country lanes back home! Get to Orford every year, and once got hold of the keys to Orford Ness lighthouse for a visit, before it disappeared into the sea. Used to go night fishing on the “ ness” as a kid with my dad.For good food, Butley Oysterage !

Love your videos but the opening of this one made me blink! Chillisford St Peter's is one of my favourite places on Planet Earth. The grass 'car park' is also used as a motorhome and caravan site and we use it regularly with our little mo-home. You have to be a member of the club to book it and they won't take more than five outfits at a time; but we've been there in the middle of Summer and been the only visitors for a whole fortnight. The Ness of Orford Ness is really interesting and worth the short boat trip to get there, if you like secret, mysterious military places. Nice one and great choice with The Jolly Sailor!

Great video as always, Freddie and Monika. Hope you went down to the waterfront? It is the best bit of Orford in my biased view, we sailed from there for several seasons, beautiful river, with tricky entrance and you can go all the way to Snape. Take Monika on the Lady Flo cruise from the quayside, and have lunch as your explore the river. Also we love the Chillesford church, and that new stained glass window. Next time you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track in Suffolk, head to Ramsholt on the River Deben, has one of the rare "round" or in fact oval church towers. Also good riverside pub - The Ramsholt Arms. Cheers Malcolm

Although it seems sleepy today the Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex area was really happening from dark ages through medieval to early modern period. Partly because it's close to the Low Countries and France and partly because it's got the richest agricultural land in the UK. That's why there's so much history and it's all still there because the area largely missed out on the industrial revolution. Class dismissed!

@evoermine Год назад

Pretty sure it was a lot ‘sleepier’ than it is now seeing as the population was vastly smaller in medieval times.

@Be_Here_Now Год назад

For the "Jolly Sailor" category number 4, balletic tendencies, I believe the word you didn't know is "entrechat," which is a French term in ballet for jumping into the air and "beating" the legs (crossing them). Most often performed is an "entrechat quatre" (beating back and front twice, landing with the same foot in front as on takeoff) and "entrechat six" (beating back and front three times, landing with the opposite foot in front as on takeoff). The word probably comes from the Italian "intrecciare" meaning “to weave,” or “to braid." Famous English ballet dancer Wayne Sleep once performed an entrechat douze (beating the legs back and front SIX TIMES before landing).

@flatcapcaferacer Год назад

There is a certain historic spirituality ingrained within your videos and much like the spirituality in that 700 year old church I find missing from our everyday lives.

Regarding the helmets, my thoughts are that if someone would want so steal a helmet for their own use, they wouldn't snip the straps because this would render the helmet more or less useless.

It sure sounds like a lot of clatter coming from the engine when pulling into and backing out of the little church (beautiful, BTW). You might want to have someone check the valves and/or cam chain tensioner. Fortunately, the Bonneville designer had some mechanics on the team because they made those jobs incredibly easy to accomplish. You don't even have to pull the engine or anything arduous like that.

@bnations2000 Год назад

@@FreddieDobbs Well, as they say, it's only hard the first time that you do it. Get stuck in! 🙂 I would suggest doing a bit of research before embarking on the valve clearance job as there is a math involved. Not difficult, but tedious and requiring a micrometer and the proper shims if anything needs replacing. Checking the cam chain tensioner is dead easy, and IIRC, there's a group in England that specializes in selling the spring that needs replacing. it is literally just a single, easily accesible bolt that you remove and then measure the length of the spring that it contains. They fatigue over time allowing the cam chain to slacken causing slap.
