When a Village opens it's doors to Bikers - Ludgershall Bike Night  

20 years ago I would have dreamed of trying on out... The 16" front wheel is rather odd and I've seen many people having a 17" conversion to help with modern tyre choice. I've stuck with the original and put S21s on as the newer ones are not in that size. many people though say the 16" has sharper handling... I of course could not compare.

Thanks for the kind words... I might be biased but I think the yellow and black ones look awesome ☺ My other bike is a Speed Triple 1200... Gotta love Triumph☺

@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou It’s raining ☔️ What’s at Barton? 😀

@@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm yearly bike night. Rain is traditional on Barton Bike Night, lol.

@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou I'll not miss the next one...promise even if it pisses it down 😁

Hi my friend.. Great to hear from you. The 130bhp may not be massive by today's standards but you are right, when it gets up into the 5/6k threshold it just keeps pulling! It's a very fast beast indeed... The only thing, compared to modern bikes, is that it doesn't zoom away from standstill and takes a bit to get going. Takes a bit to get it to that 5k upwards rush! On BumbleBlade the only real criticism are the brakes. Jeeez they are bad! I'm sure I can improve those with braided hoses and maybe upgrade the pads and master cylinder. Take care buddy... Kev🤟

@@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm For what it's worth braided lines front & rear made the world of difference for mine, now feels like it has some brakes 😀

@koshtie Did that on my VFR750.. Now they are amazing. the shopping list just keeps growing :D

@@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm I don't think we ever stop moding them, I once saw an LED tail light for the blade Hmm then thought no you don't need it, Leave it, & on & on W....

@@philipbassett5129 actually happened to me once in Milan… Yes, in a City! The Deer had escaped from somewhere and I hit it with the Bike! Ended up covering the poor animal, to keep it warm as it was still alive, with a bike cover I had with me and called the Police.. They eventually sent a 24h vet (was 2am). The Deer made a full recovery which was fantastic… My bike on the other hand needed a little tlc! Scared the living daylights out of me I must say… Funniest thing was when the ‘Carabiniere’ said that in 30 years he had never seen an Englishman and a Deer in the part of Milan!! 😁

Crikey, my wife is from Milan and we’ve been there many times and I’ve never seen a deer or even heard anyone mention deer. I’ve seen a few Englishmen, however 😁

@@philipbassett5129Wow... My wife is Pugliese but we lived in Milan for 20 years! We still have our house there... I hit the Deer near the San Raffaele Hospital heading towards Vimodrone. Police thougt it might have escaped from a reserve in Monza.

@@nickmaclachlan5178 Let’s hope Bike Nights continue to grow in popularity! They are a fantastic social event. Great way to share a passion. Sure beats football and the associated trouble. No alcohol involved… No fighting at kick out time! Just pure passion! Coincidently, this particular Bike Night was organised by the (small rural) town as a charity fund raiser for the Air Ambulance. As for your incorrect observation that most ‘em are asshats’ are there to cause mayhem…I think you’ve been watching too much TV! Regarding the increase in ‘Karens’ and their cute little High Viz Vests? They’ve always been there, always will be, and good luck to em as it obviously gives them purpose in life. As for the lemmings, there will always be a few idiots but 99% are law abiding members of society. Actually, judging by how most of the locals drive (usually an SUV), in these small hubs of idyllic privilege, normally without due care and attention would lead me to observe that the ‘asshats’ are often those that live there. They may own the houses but you do not own the roads! Good day Sir…

She’ll get there.. Just a case of confidence and experience 😊

mate... I've never seen such a wet season! I have done years of commuting in all weather so don't wanna ride in the wet unless I have to! The roads are terrible, I'm still wearing my thermals, and only swapped to my summer jacket last week! It's doing my head in... Not sure how he got the drz400... Will find out :)

She can but as the grass was on a bit of a camber she asked a knight in shining bike gear to come to the rescue ⚔🤗

@@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm all good. Looked like a great day.

@@matthewjames4268 was great and sooooo good to do my first bike night on BumbleBlade 😀

To be honest she needs a bike with a lower seat height that's the main reason she dropped it on the way there
