Hi Freddy I’m the guy who had the brief conversation with you shouting out my pickup window your right it was the sight of the Norton parked up that got my attention and then I realised it was you funnily i had just dropped my friend off at warrs to pick up a used Harley sportster and it was your video that had introduced us to the place I’m just gutted there was no where to park to have proper chat cheers Freddie

[dirkbow]

Dear Freddie, had to let you know am 65 hadn't been on a bike for 49 years, last time was when I was 16 on a Yamaha moped [fizzy] unfortunely i got knocked off and didn't get on a bike again, about 6months ago i watched the video where you reviewed the Royal Enfield classic and i thought what a beautiful machine and that was it my journey started last November and yesterday i passed my Mod 2 for a full licence all thanks to you, been on a little AJS Cadwell the last 6 months, now on to something bigger, love all your videos you and Monica are such a wonderful inspiration thank you.

[douganderson]

I never in my wildest imagination would have thought I would enjoy watching someone shop, for anything. !!
But I liked the way you presented this gear.

[mikefrost]

Morning Freddie. I bought a second hand Commando in 1978 for £510 and a Belstaff for a tenner ! 😂 Those were the days.

It was 46 years ago, as a young paratrooper from Belgium I bought my first BMW 800/7, crossed the Channel with an Ostend ferry and via Dover head up to London, went to the Marquee Club every night and bought my first pair of Barbour international jacket & trousers; then, three years later, showed up in a stripped down Land Rover Minerva to meet our pals from 21 and when 20 years later, I read my Masters at King's (War Studies), walked the streets around Covent Garden, every day, going to my student studio at the Lilian Pension Hall in front of Paddington. My love for London started when I was ten, coming from Belgium and spending a glorious summer in Kensington going out discovering the fascinating capital of the world. Great videos these last weeks, Freddy. greetings from Tripoli, Libya befoore I return home, Emmanuel, the Forty Eight rider

[davidstiglitz]

I simply love this video. The bike, the city, the weather. Oh yes and you. Brilliant 👏

[radicalcartoons]

Those two cops gave off such an old biker vibe, complete with, let's be polite, a little extra padding! 😂

[dontuno]

I never knew riding around London could be so relaxing, well at least when someone else is in the saddle. As ever, a great video and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and sights, many thanks.

[AscotMarketing]

London is such a fab city. I love it so much. My favorite city in all the world.

[pedro_mg]

Beautiful video Freddie, behaving in London, not harassing everybody with a noisy bike like others 😅 Seriously well filmed

[kraftykarper]

Great video, Freddie. Thanks for taking us on the visit. It's almost as good as being there! Nice to see the Belstaff brand doing well again.

[UKVansRV]

what an absolutely fantastic video. Well presented and produced. Thankyou

[garylovattlovatt]

Superbly presented by a top bloke. Many thanks Sir.😊😊

[philroberts]

If you like Belstaff try Merlin similar quality UK product. Much more reasonable price.

[markable]

Love the video Freddie. I’ve been in the States for 30 years, but prior to moving here I was a Despatch Rider in London. Seeing you ride through those streets brought back so many memories. I absolutely love London. Your comment about the crime level in London. I think people say that about all major cities, when in reality. If you stay out of the known bad areas all major cities are really enjoyable places to be. Im taking a road trip on a Gold Wing in a few days that will put me in NYC for a long weekend. Can’t wait.

[gride]

I really enjoyed that ride through London town. I haven’t been back for such a long time - your video made me miss it so. Thank-you Freddy.

[YorkshireSteve]

Hi Freddie. Don’t know about the new Norton’s. But back in the 70s when I was a police motorcyclist I rode the Interpol 750 and then the 850. Awesome bikes.

[jasonchambers-tu]

Freddy get yourself to gunwalf quay in Portsmouth as they have a Belstaff outlet shop with really good discounts, great ride down there as well.

[zxuk]

Excellent video, don't think twice about professional or not, it's simply good viewing. Like most places if you look for the good things you will find them and London has loads. Sure it has some 'new' bad parts caused by speed bumps and 20mph limits, but the many good parts over-ride the bad if you let it. Always remember my first Belstaff leather jacket, always been an 'Ogri' and 'bloodrunners' biker since the age of 16 over 49 years ago. 'Stuff everything as long as I've got me bike'.

[petittrainguernsey]

I was a courier in the late 80’s. Picked up my Belstaff wax bike jacket in Bob Misson’s bike shop in Melksham. Laughed at in the Pony Express office. No one wanted Belstaffs back then. Everyone had those silver plastic jackets with matching trousers 😂
