I woke up early before the crowds for a Sunday morning ride, and headed off on the Royal Enfield Classic 350 to help Danny service his Royal Enfield Classic 500.

I’m on a roadtrip across Northen Thailand on a Classic 350 right now, you’ve definitely had an influence on that Freddie!

Noooo way- this sounds like a trip of a lifetime! Enjoy, Ross🤘🏼🤘🏼

Freddie, On the subject of great books ,ya godda read "SAS Rogue Heroes" by Ben Macintyre. It was made into a BBC TV series which was also a must watch. It was after watching and enjoying the TV show so much that I read the book. Gripping stuff and hard to put down.

@Plough78 11 месяцев назад

Been rolling around North Thailand on my Meteor a lot recently but temporarily stuck on a GD110 😂 Enfield 350s ideal for this location.. Have fun.. *Crap Game* 🎉

@stevezahn8056 Год назад

Freddie your totally right about early morning rides. I ride to work at about 6:15 every day. Its thirty miles through the county. Watching the sun come up across the Kentucky horse farms, with the morning due on the bluegrass, and the morning fog lifting to see the young foals waking up in the paddocks. Makes another day at work possible.

My GSX 1250 got a puncture the day before a big bike trip, so I used the scram 411..... I expected to be disappointed, but it was one of the best trips I've ever done. What these bikes lack in size they make up for in charm, fun, style, just so good. I had so many people come up to me and ask about the bike. Its a dream, and at like £4,500 brand new on the road? insane. I don't know how they do it. I'm excited to see what the triumph scrambler 400 is like next year.

@user-hf6ok2tj5h 9 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the restful Sunday morning therapy. Also, thanks for positioning the 350 Classic so we can get a get a good look at it while you stand aside to don your helmet and gloves. Much appreciated.

@neil8238 Год назад

6:48 My dad was a biker, he passed away a couple of years ago. Among his things we found a photo he took of me and my brother as kids on a visit to friends who lived near Ipswich. The Orwell Bridge was half-built in the background, which would date it to about 1980, I guess. I love that you do so many shots in front of the bridge, it reminds me of that photo! The last bike Dad owned was a 1971 Bonneville. I think he’d have approved of the Royal Enfield Classic and the retro Triumphs you like to ride. Keep up the good work Freddie, I love the channel.

Fond memories Freddie of my own “ get up early and go for a ride”…you’re right it was glorious….

@AlexOnABoat Год назад

So what have we learnt? Freddie likes a nice cup of tea in the morning, wears sandals and socks indoors, and for some reason can't do up his helmet while he's sitting on a bike. Also Danny and Freddie make a lovely couple, and Freddie carries a spare pair of jeans with him on every ride. Another lovely morning out with Mr Dobbs, doing mostly nothing, just as it should be.

I recently bought Scram 411 and watched your review on the same white flame color edition. After watching your videos, often weekends i ride my bike around the hills(as I am from Nepal) nearby to find solitude from the city. You planted a feeling in me about good bikes as a companion rather than just a metal machine. Thanks man. If you ever come to Nepal would love to have coffee with you guys.

I remember Sunday morning rides. Up at 6am and ride to Marcus Dairy on I-84. Coffee and maybe breakfast at Markus while checking out all the bikes and talking to other riders. Then back-roading it to Bear Mt State Park in NY for a sit up at the top of Perkins Drive for a chat while enjoying the view.

@jamesfisher1827 Год назад

Freddie, you are spot on about early morning weekend rides. I have also found during school holidays you can have more fun than usual during the weekdays as there are far fewer cars on the road. I live down the road from you in Colchester and agree that the summer hasn’t been spectacular, but in the North Essex, South Suffolk area it hasn’t been too bad at all. This has been one of my favourite of your videos, very simple and displayed what is a wonderful day for any motorcycle enthusiast.

So you have decided to climb out of bed, and get on your bike. Good on you, you have discovered the best part of the day, I normally get up at 5, meet the lads at 6 and we are in the breakfast cafe by 7 when it opens. Bit warmer here, 28 at 7 am

@petewarby7158 11 месяцев назад

I had to stop the video a few minutes in to tell you... Pirates... I watched a series on TV a few years ago about pirates, it was called "Black Sails" after a few episodes I was hooked and it fired up my interest in Pirates too. So, I bought a book about them which id line like to recommend. The Republic Of Pirates by Colin Woodard. I had no idea they were so big, at one point the Royal Navy couldn't venture in to Pirate waters because the ships had a habit of turning Pirate! Brilliant, brilliant book, highly recommended. And equally, if you like Pirates, try "Black Sails"... i just couldn't stop watching it, back to back episodes for days, weeks at a time :)

@ashpunting Год назад

My nephew is a marine, and that's one of his jobs, hunting pirates and drug smugglers and other criminals they find breaking the law. Danny looked happy tinkering with his bike and I don't blame him and for you what a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning I the British sunshine bloody, gorgeous😅

@grahamkorn6236 11 месяцев назад

When I was in my twenties I used to love loading up my Ducati the previous evening and getting up at 4 am and on the road by 5 am heading West on the A25. No traffic at that time in the morning. Glorious!

“Boys and their toys.“ What better way to spend a Sunday. And that clock is the perfect mod! Cheers to you and Danny.

@volt8684 11 месяцев назад

Lovely vid. For me the maintenance is done over winter when I can’t ride. Prewinterisation protection and ride all way through but really a fair weather man nowadays. As owner of v strom 650 really only oil change, brake clean inspect and chain together with protection. Air filter and plugs really 2yrs + and valves maybe longer. The older u get the less u want to be on the floor, well that’s my case

Hey Freddie, your not a bad reader, just a little out of shape. Your brain/reading skills require a regular workout just as your muscles working out at the gym. Regular reading will have you on par with Einstein. 😂😂 Throughout life I was a late sleeper…until I started riding again. Now I pop out of bed at 5 am to get a ride in before work or the world awakens. It’s my favorite time of day now. I’m addicted. 👍👍👍

@jabjab1010 Год назад

Freddie, great video, love when you bring Danny to the channel. He reminds me of me!! Quick thought: In the USA we have a company called Harbor Freight, and they sell a foot pump motorcycle lift (from China) of course, for $1,000 US. I have seen these for sale from other purveyors, although I don’t know if anyone carries them across the pond. Just saying, I bought one because getting on the ground is not easy for this X football player (soccer), and I am really mad at myself for not doing it earlier (30 years earlier). when young, that cost was just too much, but I don’t see why this lift can’t last a lifetime. . .It seems reasonably well made, and it’s VERY simple so little can go wrong. I think worth it for anyone with a dedicated Moto space. Cars cannot drive over it, but Jeeps, Land Rovers, Ranger Rovers can! Let Danny know!

@Lee-70ish Год назад

Great stuff guys. At least I'm not the only one with a garage thats not a man cave but a pile it all in. That said mines a double with a pit so a big mess. And wifes MX5 commands center stage . But Ethel the 350 classic still fits in and the pit makes doing the bike a pleasure No crouching on the floor

@waynenelson7723 Год назад

Nice upload Freddie! Recently acquired a Royal Enfield Interceptor and can identify with what Danny has said. So easy and cheap to work on compared to my BMW's. I enjoy tinkering about in the garage almost as much as out riding. Good luck with the property digs. Not easy these days!

@CompSciGuy2 11 месяцев назад

Its funny how much of a difference having access to a clock on a motorcycle makes: my Bonneville has one whereas my old Suzuki GS500F didn't. Its such a simple thing, but makes a big difference. Ranks right up there with having a proper fuel gauge.

@goneforaburton-dy2ee Год назад

Hi Freddie, I passed my bike test 26 years ago but only bought my first bike 12 months ago. My head wanted a Versys 650 but my heart wanted a Classic 350. I bought the Versys which is great, but just bought the 350 as well. I get stopped on the classic all the time, but no one looks at the Versys. The Versys also rarely goes out now. When are you coming to Llangollen for coffee in the Ponderosa (horseshoe pass)?

Replaced the horn, fitted pannier racks and rear box rack, put in a DNA air filter, and also recently did the 300 mile service (oil change and tappets). No more mods..... unless. (oh I forgot, waiting for my cockpit clock) ps forgot to add the wiring and installation for the Quadlock.
