Yeah boys, love this kind of content. This is kind of what made the original top Gear so good. Just some guys having fun and talking about some bikes while doing it. Properly brings out the chemistry you guys have.
Yeah Boothy would definitely have added to the vibe. This truly is the content i love. Even though i loved the last BBB it felt kind of "forced". Best ones are still the Benidorm and Italia ones. Plenty of drama, but all organic. (Sorry Chris :-))
Fantastic video, I enjoyed it so much. I think the best thing is that its so relatable. 2 blokes going for a nice afternoon ride and just having a laugh while doing it. The chemistry between you dudes is so natural and easy to feel. I would like to see more of those afternoon adventures.
Can relate to this one!! Live in Epsom, married in Richmond Park and you rode past the pub I lived in for 5 years in Putney/Fulham. The development in that section from Battersea to Vauxhall is insane! It includes the new US embassy and an entirely new tube station.
Loved that, seeing so many of my old stomping grounds. I remember taking my Street Triple to work in Old St for the first time ever back in 2009 and some scrotes tried to lift it into a van in broad daylight. The alarm actually drew attention and scared them off… those were the days…
I commuted in to london city from the North on VFR1200F, it was awesome, nearly got done in a few times, Irishman hit me with a van from behind at Kings X, Old bird came over to my side on Barnet bypass at a roundabout, bung went under her wing and ripped it and bumper off on a Fiat 500. Some tw4t came out from a side street right in front of me, i was doing about 15 - 20mph, how i never hit him i do not know. Now since ULEZ cr4p, i store it, fek that 12.50 a day extra. Good run guys, nice bikes, nice one!
so funny with the malteaser story. my mate Kenzie back in the early days of mobile phones used to be able to fit a clam type mobile in his bell end and we would then phone it so it would vibrate and light up!! I remember the phone so well because it used to belong to a mate of ours who would always pass out first when the sesh was on. cheesy phone for punishment :-) oh that was the dayz!! cheers team 44
What memories the part on the embankment brought back. Commuting in on a GSXR1000K1 was a hoot in the early 2000s - racing the couriers through the traffic. No speed cameras and no 20mph limits. It looks horrendous these days.
17:50 - He stole his mothers cooking pot and put on a chinstrap... Covered his number plate too lol. You gotta do more of these videos boys, we all love listening to you both waffling.
Richmond Park 'a waste of space' brilliant. Many years ago, I played rugby on Richmond park, the game was halted when a herd of deer walked across the pitch. 😂
18:05 hey that’s a project I’ve been working on as a designer when we redeveloped it to resi/hotel - the old war office. 😊 Damn, I kind of miss London even I absolutely hated it. Must be a Stockholm syndrome. 21:25 ooooh, and my first job and home area when I moved to London in 2003 and was able to afford things. Thanks for the memory trip boys!
15:59 ha! This was my dreaded place of work for 10 years. In the end I opted for electric bicycle commute from Greenwich instead of the motorbike and it took exactly the same time - would be faster now with 20mph limits.
ive a mt03 660, which is kindof a street super moto (or at least thats how they marketed it) it was awesome around town until the 20s came in. at 20mph its right between 2nd and 3rd. 2nd is a bit revvy/vibey and 3rd you get the full thumpyness rattling the chain and lurching.. I think 250cc is all you need, geared so you can sit at 20/30mph comfortably but still with enough poke to avoid trouble but not too much to get into it to quickly.... if you follow royal jordanian he lives out richmond way, so when i feel the need to re-live the commute i just watch a vid. working from home is great, but there is nothing like a risky commute battling the traffic to wake you up before work.
This would be a great format for a podcast/interview series. Have famous motorcycle riders on as guests and ride around their home towns or local riding routes growing up while you interview them and just chat shit and bounce of each-other etc.
Yes lads you went right past my flat at Albert Bridge just before the black car cut you up …A tip don’t filter on the left cos people will pull out of the 2 side roads and wipe you out !
Insight on the bikes Joy , one of ,was great . Scrambling London Style, my 1250 Bandit is my Noosa Scooter ! QLD AU . Id take a Ducati Scrambler any day of the week . Blue I'd doo, Hoy Al , the Didge R redoo is a term of endearment for our Og Aussies , Didgey's .
The greatest channel. Every time you guys put out a video with both of your personalities it makes my day! Mind you I enjoy the individual videos, but you guys have Beatles type chemistry. Once a generational lol
This reminds me of a video I done around four years or so ago, I went around some of the areas I lived growing up, a fun video made better with Al talking shit 😂 Also just so you know, there is a typo in the description 😉
If you're able to get Honda Motocompo's, I'd love to see you guys and other bike RU-vidrs do the London Marathon route for Charity. Alex Kirsten (Auto Alex) is a huge bike lover, and loves a laugh. Just a suggestion. Get Your Rat Out lads!
This seems sort of a random, though fun, subject to vlog about. Hmm, is Ducati concerned about all the press the Triumph scramblers are getting?🤔 I'd love to take a spin through London, on just about any bike. 🤘
