This is just a short video of our visit to this year's bike show. We tend to go every year even if there are no new bikes we are interested in - any reason for a bike ride! Unfortunately, the show is always on late in the year when the weather is at best unpredictable! This year was no exception as we rode into a torrential downpour after leaving the show. Nevertheless it was great to be there and especially meeting lots of people who follow the channel - Keith, Ray, Mandy + Dean, Chris, Mark + Debbie and Julie + John! Thanks so much for coming to say hello, it means such a lot. It was particularly interesting to visit the Mental Health Motorbike stand and chat with Paul about his inspiring initiative. Please check out their website for more information - mhmotorbike.com/
It's only a short video but we hope it gives a flavour of the show for those who couldn't make it. If you enjoy it please give us a thumbs up and feel free to comment and share. Thanks for watching!
We now have MMD Merchandise!

Hi you 2. Its CHARLIE here. Can't believe it s a year since we met at the bike show. TIME IS FLYING. 😭 Good video as usual. Me thinks SUE is a secret BMW fan. Get her converted B. Or even the other way round maybe. If I was in the market for a NEW BIKE I just wouldn't know which to choose from. There all good. Anyway SUE would av looked good in the LEATHER JACKET B. Enjoying thre IRELAND TRIP too which I will thank you for when its ended. KEEP ON SMILING and STAY SAFE. 👍👍👍 If you fancy the T7 B, you might NEED to go searching in your loft for those platform boots from the 70's. 😂🤣😝

An enjoyable video as ever, I'm not too interested in the new bike scene personally that I'd pay a visit to such events so videos as yours are good just to see what's new and I appreciate it thanks, rare Japanese classics interest me more. Your ride home reminded me of one of my most enjoyable rides on my Kawasaki triple when I was caught in such bad conditions, strangely I really enjoyed the experience. Ride safe.

That Tiger 1200 looks very appealing..... Looks like you enjoyed the visit, so nice when folks up up and chat when they've seen your vids. Answer on the Rukka, yes it's worth the money. Waterproof main zip went on mine with only a few months left on it's 5 year warranty. A temporary jacket was posted to me while mine was repaired. Its the only kit that keeps me dry riding in continuous pouring rain. Hope yours worked on the way home.

Do mental health motorbike operate in Australia?? What an awesome idea. And something we could have really done with the help from when our son was really struggling with crippling depression and suicidal. It was at that time we encouraged him to follow his motorbike passion and get his license. I lost my twin brother to suicide in 2019. So please let us know how you go with it all, Sue!

It was a good show, I went on Thursday but went by train as the weather was dreadful.

Hi both, we went to the show today - first time for two of us and a return visit for our pal. Amazed at the number of manufacturers including old names - Norton, AJS etc and the massive amount of retro bikes. A real difference to 6/7 years ago apparently. So many of the bikes are really high - its not just you that struggles to reach the floor 😁. Absolutely lovely machines though - how to choose...? Anyway, thanks for a great vid as always, shame you got drenched on the way home.

@midlifemotorcyclediaries Год назад
Thanks Steve! You’re absolutely right about the old names that seem to be making a comeback - BTW I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds it hard to flat foot bikes 😂 - getting drenched isn’t too bad as long as you have decent gear and a Gerbing heated jacket! 👍😀

Re Rukka. My first gear was Klim which I was very pleased with. I replaced it with Rukka, which I'm quite disappointed with to be honest. The jacket is very heavy, especially on 200+ mile days, it weighs 1.7kg more than my Klim. The sleeve inserts that supposed to go inside your gloves are a complete faff and of little use. The trousers, although quite comfy on the waist, are tight across my hips so I have to mount and dismount the bike using the pegs because the trousers won't give enough to do it from the ground. I only use the Rukka in bad weather now as my Klim is sooo much more comfy for riding. Plus Rukka is bloody expensive!!
@midlifemotorcyclediaries
@midlifemotorcyclediaries Год назад
Thanks for the feedback! Real food for thought 🤔 I’ve got a Klim mesh jacket for the summer and it’s excellent - my Rukka jacket is very heavy and after 8 years could do with replacing - so, decision time!😀👍

Thanks for posting this video - unfortunately I was unable to make it to the NEC this year - I particularly liked the section on Mental Health - I have said for many years that motorcycling is good for your mental health. To get on a bike alone and have to concentrate takes your mind off other pressing worries. This year my mum sadly passed away and one of the coping mechanisms I turned to was to get out and ride - I can honestly say it helped a lot. Training a 100 bikers in MHFA will be a fantastic achievement and I commend the organisation for undertaking the task and yourselves for agreeing to support the venture. Now I am going to start watching your Wild Atlantic Way series!! Joy

Myself and two mates went last Wednesday first time since 2018 didn't seem quite as big as i remember from last time nethertheless had a great day out unfortunately it flew by far too quick it was incredibly busy in the morning though. I've owned a keis heated vest for the last 3 years it's a complete game changer for all year round riding had mine when they were giving the heat controller away free with them even in the depths of winter never have it above medium & no more looking like the michelin man in loads of layers, They should be marketed as a safety aid as heating your core keeps your whole body warm and if your cold thats all your thinking about & not focused on riding

Where are all the young motorcycle enthusiasts?? Has motorcycling turned into a midlife crisis/retirement hobby only??

That’s an interesting observation! I never really noticed - I guess it’s because I’m one of the “midlifers”! 😂👍😀

Al Gore, my latest report based on the average age of attendees at these events predicts the end of the motorcycle industry in as little as 10 years, ......10 years!

£16.95 to park, never again no live shows or independent food stalls and getting smaller every year. Birmingham is a horrible place and I'm a local. Avoid at all cost I am embarrassed to live here and have people visiting.

That’s exactly why we always go by bike! Extortionate parking prices for cars 😱 - it’s a shame - seems to have lost its character over the years - for us it’s really just a chance to meet people! 😀👍

I have been watching your presentations for a year now and every time I see Brian I ask myself "where do I know him from". You then mention "Corporate Trainers" and it clicked, he provided us with some training albeit many years ago. He told us a story about a bloke in his garage, spraying paint and suffered from headaches. Please tell me it's him Sue? Love the vids you both do, this ones a cracker.

@@suegibbons2508 Brilliant Sue. ACT in Oldbury West Midlands, about 1991. He also gave us a scenario where we were the Captain of a ship and how old was the Captain, he'll surely remember that, he made an impression on me then and still doing so now in our old(er) age. I only passed my test three days ago, spurred on by you pair and some of the commenters below (Steve Clark)

I suppose they try to cater for everyone but we usually only take a real interest in the bikes we ride! 😀👍
