I Ride A Royal Enfield Continental GT To An Ancient English Abbey

Channel Partners:

Today I decided to take out the new Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, and take it on a ride through the beautiful British countryside, through Rutland and into Leicestershire, where I visited the cafe at Launde Abbey. This abbey dates back to as early as 1119! It has some truly incredible history.

Here I have a look around, and stop for a cake and a hot drink, and meet some interesting people who reacted to the motorcycle.

US viewer here. I do like this style of video which includes an interesting turn around place in the English countryside as well as your bike impressions. Thanks for taking the time for a walk around the old buildings.

Any video involving a Royal Enfield and a day out, it's going to be a hit. There is just something about the brand that entertains us. I doubt you would have the same viewership with a BMW or alike.

Very enjoyable video.

I love this natural countryside exploration with the bike. Please do more like this! The history and interactions with other humans is very special! :)

Speaking of birds, I was out on the Enfield at dusk on Saturday, and a barn owl flew alongside me for quite a while. No more than 12-15 feet away hunting along a lane, seemingly unbothered by the bike. We have tawny owls, but I've never seen a barn owl before locally. The next night I saw a young deer on a quiet lane ahead. I slowed down trying not to spook it, and it eventually cleared a stone wall into the garden of a large house. Amazing what you see on a bike, especially a dawn and sunset.

The Continental works so well in these settings😍

To get rid of the dust shake it hard use a blower on the jacket then pressure wash it. Sounds odd but worked for me when I went to india in a 1989 bullet. Beautiful machine

Got an interceptor a couple of months ago. Its the 2021 chrome and black version. The amount people who wanna talk to me about the bike is amazing. Even other bikers. Its a conversation starter for sure.

Getting better and better at this all the time. Nice relaxed presentation, well done 👍

One of the things that I love when riding is the smell of the countryside, you don't get it in a car.

I love the more chilled lifestyle videos. It is what riding in the British countryside is all about for me. I would love to see a few more like this.

Im a US viewer and also really enjoy videos that do explain the history of the places you visit and ride to

No reviewer has captured what normal people think and their warm reactions..Every reviewer gives their reactions based on their mood, knowledge and how good their stomach feels at that moment of review . But this is special.

Regarding the dusty jacket, hang it up outside, jetwash it at a distance and on soft setting, repeat for other side then hang in airing cupboard 👍🏻

I do enjoy your interaction with passers by. And the wildlife. I think that was a robin that you conversed with. As I would have done.

Estuve a punto de vender mi Continental 650, pero después de esta serie de vídeos, que me han llegado al corazón, me quedo con ella. Thanks

Hello I’m Japanese viewer and I ride motoguzzi V7. I love the motorcycles you review and beautiful British countryside.

[sanketdas]

Your videos are therapy. It inspired me to buy a royal Enfield bullet 350. Thanks

Awesome video Mr Darcy, think you will be back to that cafe, the little bird was so cute and friendly 👍🏼

[saketmishra]

Use simple no flavour vodka, mix it with water and spray it on jacket.then clean it with tissues...it will clean the dust and remove smell as well

As mentioned before I do have one, the more you ride it the better and more comfortable it becomes. I've actually dropped the cilpons down by about a good inch now with no problems to my back, I'm a good 6 feet tall 🙂
