Definitely dodgy vote. I have a mate working for post office who told me they had a very unusual delivery of pasties from Cornwall to Suffolk. Pasties for votes scandal about to hit the news 😂😂
Thanky kindly Flat Cap, much appreciated. A matter of time before everyone realises what they’re missing by not following you. All the best my friend 🙂👍🏼
Well deserved mate thanks for the mention great winter witterings love the lanes you ride hopefully see you out for a ride 🏍️💨💨💨😉👍🏻and big thanks for the saddle bags 73 stickers
That first lane was more potholes than road. You avoided them very adroitly. Thank you for sharing some absolutely wonderful rides this year - it's been very special to me. Happy new year, Jeff and Twinks. Peter
Hi Peter 👋🏼 The first lane is just a trail into Lydford forest, although some of the roads around here aren’t much better. It is I who must thank you for your support. It really does mean a lot to me so, thank you Peter. Our very best wishes for 24. Jeff.
A well deserved appreciation of your channel! I'm new to the Saddlebags followers..i found your channel through the Ireland 🇮🇪 videos, ( where i also found Bullet Wanderer). It's a terrific channel...exactly what I enjoy in the motorcycle world! Great stuff, Cheers Steve
Hi Steve. I’m very happy to have you along. I hope I can continue to keep you entertained. I’m a big fan of BW too, of course. It was fantastic meeting him over there. Many thanks and all the best Jeff
That was a fab ride out, really enjoyed it. Thank you. You are such a nice and interesting man (even if you're Cornish)I am not surprised TAYM's subscribers love you. My son is a Grinch so I do Christmas on my own. He still eats the dinner though and he did say thank you for that. WSMV has got the tallest bike in the south west, what a beauty 🔴
That’s very kind Lily, thank you very much. Afraid I’m a bit of a Grinch too 🥴 I did enjoy cooking Xmas dinner for my son and Twinks though. Ah yes, the new bike. Veeeerrrrrrry nice 😍 Merry New Year Lily, best wishes from beautiful Cornwall ☀️😎🤗
Congratulations again Jeff. I'm kicking myself for not knowing that this vote was going on. I could have voted for you and you would have been one vote closer to Noraly ! My sincere apologies but I was genuinely unaware that this vote was going on because I haven't caught up with TAYM's channel yet. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos of all of your holidays in 2023 😂 Looking forward to more from you in 2024. It's always nice to see how the other half live ! Much love to you and Twinks and may 2024 be your best year yet ! Garry & Ruby
But you were top ten yourself 😮 Honestly, I’m absolutely delighted with second, and actually it makes me feel like a bit of a charlatan. You’re very kind Garry, thank you. Not sure how many holidays I’ll squeeze into the coming year 🤣 Much love back to Ruby and you and all our best wishes for 2024. Take care over there ❤️🙂👋🏼
Of the channels I watch yours is always my favourite closely followed by that bloke on a motorbike. Keep up the videos and hopefully have a ride together in 2024.
Well done Jeff. I was really hoping you would win. Your viewers can see that you are genuinely nice and appreciate it. I enjoy the interaction between Twinks and yourself and think you make a great team. Look forward to more videos in the future. All the best for now, Paddy.
Hi Paddy 👋🏼 That’s very kind words, thank you very much 🙏🏻 I was really quite taken back by the whole affair 🥲 Twinks will be joining me again once Mother Nature has blown herself out. Thanks again and our best wishes for the future. Jeff.
Jsrides is a nice fella, never met him but spoke to him a bunch 🙂 I've got so much content to catch up on 😂 Always very pretty around your area Not surprised you were so high up mate, your content is always quality 🙂 Great video mate, definitely felt lonely this Christmas, was so glad to go out on the bike during the whole day, despite the weather. Here's to a better 2024 ahead
Yea J is a good egg 🙂 It’s impossible to keep up. Just watch what you can when you can and don’t feel guilty 🤣 I was quite taken back by the result of TAYM’s poll 🫨😀 I actually had very little time on bikes over Christmas. I get withdrawals 🫤 Yes, best wishes for 24’. I hope it all goes your way 🤞🏼
Belated Happy New Year! I'm sure the award was warranted due to the variety of content, the honesty and endearing nature of the channel. Having been away from the channel, I was surprised that your subscribers hasn't rocketed 🤔 Funny place RU-vid. I now just need to catch up on your past catalogue. Oh...Great comment about the "other" side to xmas👍
Thank you kindly Pike, and to you. I know the channel is very slow in growth but I’m quite happy with it. I was surprised when I reached 100 subs, so to be over 4K is amazing. I try not concern myself too much with numbers. I do it for fun and if a few others enjoy it, that’s a bonus. If anything, perhaps give the Ireland series a watch - such a beautiful place and the sun was blazing every day. Thanks again my friend, lovely to hear from you. Take care 👍🏼
Congratulations Jeff you done well thank you for the mention me and Icedidi were going out tomorrow but changed it to Friday depending on this storm I’ll definitely how to do a vlog before new year 👍🏍️
As someone has already commented, second to Itchy Boots is a gigantic win in my eyes. I have been watching her channel for longer than yours but I do click on your posts first every time you put one on. Keep up the very good work. Happy new year. Mike.
Hey Mike 👋🏼 I know Itchy is in a league far above but I was moved by the votes. You’re very kind, thank you. Happy new year to you too, all the best. Jeff.
Awesome vid, it's been an amazing year and a well deserved award at the end of it from TAYM and his viewers 👏👏 Have a great new year and already excited about what will come from the channel in 2024 😁👍
Thank you kindly Weston, 23’ was banging. Merry New Year to you and the family. Safe and happy travels and I hope to catch up with you at some point. (Although now you have the Ducati I might struggle)
Hello Jeff, many thanks for all your wonderful video's over the last year, and wishing you a very happy new year. Looking forward to some more extreme pasty eating in the months to come 😉👍
Good evening MP 👋🏼 Thank you very much indeed, and thank you for the support. I’ll do my best with the pasty research 🤣 Happy New Year to you too, I wish you all the best 😎👍🏼
Ah t’wouldn’t feel right, and I’m quite happy being close behind her 🤪 Hehe, proper Cornish, my boody 😉 I really do appreciate the effort you put in, and I think we all know who the true winner is 🫡
Well done coming 2nd in that. It's looking cold there now man and very wet. So far our summer her is not much better. And a happy new year to you as well man and stay safe.
Thanky kindly RK, I don’t know how that happened but I’m quite moved by it. Not particularly cold here yet, but eternally damp and miserable. Thanks again and best wishes from the UK to RK 😎👍🏼
Happy new year 73 congratulations on your 2nd place, very well deserved, and by only 2 votes. Just wish I had voted for you now 😊 PS Thanks for the mention 👍 a mention from 73. Well, I'm in 7th heaven 😊
Thanky kindly my friend. It blew my mind, but I’m still small fry of course. The real winner is TAYM himself 🙂 “7th heaven” 🤣 really? Thanks again AR 👍🏼
Well done Jeff with coming 2nd. You made a good point about loneliness especially at this time of year but also throughout the year. Motorcycling has been very good for my mental health and has helped me get things straight in my mind. I have met some great people at various cafes and biker stops sharing time and stories with them. I met an elderly gentleman on one of my trips to the Peak District and he came up to me to talk bikes and when he found out that the Himalayan was a Royal Enfield he told me of his riding career and bikes he and his wife had ridden and owned, unfortunately she has dementia so life is hard for him.I hope that I will bump into him again as he was so interesting. Keep up the mutterings.
Hello my friend 👋🏼 Yes you’re right, loneliness can be eternal. I’m with you and motorcycle therapy. Everyone should have something that works for them in the same way, but it’s bikes for me…perhaps more biking than bikes, as it can be any bike. A sad story from the gentleman you met, but not an uncommon one. I do hope you bump into him again. I’m sure he valued the time you took with him. Many thanks and best wishes looking forward 👍🏼
Hi Chris 👋🏼 Ah not at all, but it was such a nice surprise. Thank you very much, I really do appreciate the support. Have fun with Nev and take care out there 👍🏼
Congrats on the award SB, from the little I know, It couldn't happen to a nicer guy...tho I too wouldn't count out foul play 😆 Happy new year to your good self & family mate, all the best for 2024 ✌
I was going to make this the last video I watched in 2023 but missed that by about 30 minutes. Unless we use Pacific time. Well, the good news is this is the first video I watched in 2024 🎉 You deserve to be up there with or past Itchy Boots on that survey. I don't watch her videos any more they are just too long for me. During lockdown I watched 220 of her's in a row. The first two or three seasons were good, but not now for me. Your End Screen, well what can I say, Epic! Sometimes I skip over all that talking stuff to watch the outro. Just kidding but it is awesome. I'm always grooving to it in my chair when it plays. Sometimes play it twice. Tell the Twinkster Happy New Year. I am excited to see what 2024 brings you both. Which reminds me. I keep forgetting to mention this. You have a video, What Twinks Thinks. I think it would be great if you had one episode a month called What Twinks Thinks. One episode where it's not all Man Land. Who knows maybe your female viewers will go up??? Well again, Happy New Year!
Hi MAMRE 👋🏼 I am honoured that one of my vids was your first watch of 24 🙏🏻 I’m not in the same league as Itchy of course, but it was still a wonderful surprise. My end screen beats hers though 🤣 Ref. “What Twinks Thinks” - that’s a good idea. It would only be for the fairest few months of the year, but it’s food for thought. Many thanks indeed my friend. Happy new year to you from Twinks and I. Wishing you all the very best 🙂👋🏼
Didn't know of a poll....lol. I did, however, get to ride a bit the last few days. It's been hovering around the 5 degree mark this week. Next week will go down to sub zeros, but at least it's only 3 more months until riding season starts again. Happy new year !! Cheers !!
How could you not know? 🤔😉 Not terribly cold here, just eternally wet and miserable. 3 months off the bike though? Life can be cruel. Happy new year Randy, best wishes and keep warm 👍🏼
If the poll ask "Which motovlogger's smalls would you swill out with pleasure?" I doubt the second place would have been the same!!!. All the best for2024, RT.
2nd place totally deserved mate. The only other thing you could do is wear blue contact lenses and have your teeth whitened and just try to be generally a bit more priddy!! I can see Deddy Fobbs and the Fissenden Miler crying into their cocoa!! Look forward to more of the same!! Happy New Year To you and Twinks!
It wasn’t because I’m not priddy 😳 It was because I know very little about rocks 😬 Hahaa I’m sure it won’t have too much impact on their lives. Well, maybe for TMF 💪🏼 Thanky kindly Phil, all the very best 👍🏼
yes , quite right , every action has a reaction , every up has a down ,for everyone who enjoys christmas there are some who feel worse at these so called happy times , ,, well done sir lord s73 international superstar ;;;
Wasn't aware of the poll, SB, but what a well deserved result for you. Have a peep in the comments of your previous vid where I explained about the famous letterbox. With every good wish to you and yours for 2024.
In he great scheme of things it was only a small circle of voters, but I was still moved by the result 🥲 Thanks Jim. Hmm, a glitch in the RU-vid matrix means there’s no reply visible on the letterbox comment. Seems to be happening regularly these days. It’s says there’s two reply’s to the original comment, but upon opening it there’s only the first reply from me 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you very much Jim, and the very best wishes to yourself.
Here's the reply, SB: People hide rubber stamps in tins all over Dartmoor and these hidden tins are oddly called letterboxes. The finder of a box will sign the enclosed book and stamp his own book with the rubber stamp. There is a printed booklet available from the Dartmoor Letterboxes Club which gives vague clues as to where these boxes are hidden but most are extremely difficult to find even with the clues. There are hundreds of them.@@Saddlebags73
Well done mate, looks like if a couple of people on here who never realised there was a poll would have voted, you would have beaten itchy boots. No competition in my eyes Saddlebags 73 all the way. Happy new year to you and twinks.
Thanks for the shout out and support. Glad you enjoyed the Christmas lights videos. Derek has been doing zombie tags on old videos, maybe I should try a similar strategy 😅 Christmas can be bloody depressing with all the crap weather and having to spend time with the family haha / not-haha...
Really, you’re welcome. Best Xmas lights vids on the tube 🙂 I realised on my return to home that I had been tagged in old vids. “Zombie tags” though, that sounds really cool. I should now make a video about being Zombie tagged 🤣 No comment on the last part 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers NooB 👍🏼
Congrats 🎉 that's quite a feat being a couple away from itcy. Thanks for your vote, I didn't realise it was happening although I did see the video pop up. All the best for 2024, I'm sure it's going to be awesome for you 🎉🎉
I realise it must sound silly but I was genuinely touched by it. Really couldn’t (still can’t) believe it. Thanks ER, and best wishes to you too. Let’s make 2024 a belter 😀👍🏼
Ah I didn't realise that there was such a poll going on..... bu***r! Wel,l you deserved to do well, You're a top bloke. Not only that, whilst Itchyboots puts out lots of vids and gets into all sorts of dramas, She doesn't carry the burden of coming from Cornwal! Happy New Year my friend, may your Pastys always be top crimped! ! 😊
Sorry I didn't vote, but losing out to Itchy Boots is still a win. 👍👍 I appreciate the vote and kind words as ever. So many great channels out there, I always feel bad I can't catch up with everyone's videos.
No apology necessary Bandit. Yes I think we all face the same struggle trying to keep up with everyone. It isn’t actually possible. All the best my friends 🙂👋🏼
Wosson Sbagsy boy? Second to Itchy Boots ? If You'd had less help from Exeter rider and slightly bigger balls I reckon you'd've nailed it ! Geddon Pard and DFD. Wassa.
I would always put you ahead of Itchy Boots because of her behaviour during the Pandemic which was selfish and stupid, so I unsubbed and will never sub to her again. So, in my view you ARE the winner, Congrats!! ps when's the social ride this year?
G’day mate, fantastic footage bloke, good to see taxes at work with those silky smooth roads the witch was gliding along 😳. Second place, bugger that, number one in my 👀 eyes. They tell me a fella by the name of Rishi Sunak might be looking for a job soon. I recon you should be the one to replace him. Perhaps then you could organise some better roads, weather, & change some rules to allow me to spend my time over your way, testing the fixed roads…. Maybe I could bring the weather with me. Sounds like a plan to old muggins here. SB73 for PM, has a certain ring to it😁. Hooroo for now mate, & Bah Bah👍😎
I would have been happy to have received even one vote. To come second to somebody leagues above me blew my mind, and there really are so many that should have been ahead. Didn’t half put a grin on my chin though 😁 Well, let’s get Rishi out for a start, then you can come over and give me a hand with the roads. We might hit a sticking point when it comes to the weather though 🤔 unless you can bring some of yours with you 🌞 Thanks Muggins 😉 Hooroo and Bah bah 😎👍🏼
