Silvie the Triumph Bonneville T120 has been my stalwart companion over the last few years, but if I want to continue to have great adventures together in the future I need to make some additions to lighten the load.
So there are some changes afoot to ensure that Silvie and I have many miles ahead of us; this is the first part of my plans, but only after I took her out for a ride in the sun.

Oh!!! Looks like you’re joining us with a Bonneville and a 350 Enfield 😂 two classic bikes that have their own place, you’re really going to have a ball, looking forward to seeing it, all the best buddy 👍

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I can neither confirm or deny that I now own a 350 Classic Reborn, you'll have to wait until the next video to know for sure 😁

@samhill3496 3 месяца назад

Sure looks thst way and if it is for the area you ride a good choice. Excellent vid Matt. Lot of classic VW's parked in there as well. Ride safe. Next time

@jerhughes500 3 месяца назад

Hi Matt, I’ve been offline for a bit, big changes in my life, positive ones, and am eagerly looking forward to your new ride. What a garage! I had an orange 74 westy, and will finally be back in the saddle on July 1st. I’m getting an 07 tiger 1050, from a bike mechanic, so you can imagine how mint it is, then at the end of July I’m off to northern Italy on it. Have a great weekend Matt. ✌️

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Hi Jer, it's good to hear that things are on the up for you, and only a few days until you'll be out on your Tiger (I hope the nice weather returns by then!). I wish the garage was mine, there's some very lovely vehicles in there!

@nickaxe771 3 месяца назад

The place you parked you bike looks interesting....the Willys Jeep Caught my eye.....was it the carding shed??? Can I ask Matt.....the tank rack you have.....I have just bought one for my 2020 T100 just to clip my hand drawn maps to..... But I dont want it on the tank all the time. Not tried it on my tank yes as I fear it damaging the paint.....THOSE SUCKERS ARE MIGHTY STRONG. How do you get your off Matt with out pulling chunks of paint off the tank.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I don’t think it’d pull your paint off Nick, I’ve yanked mine off a few times and it’s been ok. If you’re worried though I guess I’d try getting a fingernail inside the edges of suckers and try to release the vacuum.

@simsey33 3 месяца назад

How much for the VW???

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Sadly they’re not mine.

@maartenwuyts6569 3 месяца назад

Hi Matt, always good content. Love the outfit of your bike...it all add's up like one pieceof harmony...I was wondering what kind of goggles u are wearing. I just bought some, but they create a bit of turbulance. Yours seem minimalistic with fewer edges...It might do the trick as I like my rides quiet if that makes sense :-)

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Thanks Maarten, the goggles are from Ethen, I’m afraid I don’t remember the model name but you can find them on Urban Rider’s website in the goggle section. I really like them, would definitely recommend 👌

@porcaminosrurales3755 3 месяца назад

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I wouldn’t be against a Goldstar, it was on my shortlist 😁

@andrewaveyard3336 3 месяца назад

Yep, save some miles on the Triumph by getting an Enfield…. Good choice methinks. I wondered how you would get around the storage issue…… you probably needed planning permission to extend the Outhouse. :-)

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

@mattlindsey9242 3 месяца назад

The shop sequence is cool. I love that style. Not huge on getting a smaller iteration of the same sryle bike. The 400 scrambler would have fit better maybe (my opinion only). These vids are great in the morning before work.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Thanks Matt, though I disagree on a 400 Scrambler being the better option. I've never really liked the styling of Triumph's scrambler range as it's a of bit a confused design to me, trying to be retro and modern at the same time while not really achieving either. The bike I got has a more authentic style and has a completely different character than the big twin, I think it's a good stablemate.

@mattlindsey9242 3 месяца назад

@ClassicRides on that we agree. I have never understood the allure of the scrambler or dessert sled. Though I've never owned one, so it's not a fair comment on my behalf. Seems like you mix in mild off pavement duty and assumed a transalp was too modern. Nonetheless I look forward to future videos. Great work.

@lesperchard3793 3 месяца назад

Hi Matt, I did wonder when in a recent video you mentioned that you had 20k miles if you would get an upgrade, looks like your going back to RE? Maybe another Interceptor?

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I’m still keeping the Bonnie, but having a second bike will lighten the load on her a bit. It’s not an Interceptor though 🙂

@MrDiegoMieres 3 месяца назад

Oh boy!! I'm struggling with myself not to buy a Classic because I don't have one inch to spare... And you will make videos riding a Classic. The Devil sent you, surely. Can't wait to see your new adventures partner. All the best!

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I don’t have any spare space either, that’s why the Bonnie has gone into storage. Where there’s a will there’s a way! 😁

Don't worry Bob, Silvie is just getting a little friend to lighten the load, she'll back on the channel in no time 👍🏻

@JLo1960 3 месяца назад

Love your Bonnie but looking forward to seeing what youve bought. It looks like a coming trend where bikers are downsizing and realising the joys to be had on a smaller capacity machine. Great video Matt, thanks.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I think for the majority of riding engine size isn’t so important, but these two bikes have very different characters so I think they’ll make good stablemates.

@althescottishbiker 3 месяца назад

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Thanks Gary, the helmet is from Hedon with Ethen Goggles and a Biltwell peak. The T120 can be a bit pricey on servicing, but like any bike you could get it done a lot cheaper at an independent garage or by doing it yourself.
