BSA Scrambler & RE Bear look fantastic! 😮

Freddie, don’t kill yourself in the cold. Find yourself some heated gear (I’m sure you can get a manufacturer to sponsor you) Jacket liners and gloves and your cold rides will take on a world of difference.

[leemetson]

Great to meet you at the show and taking the time to speak with me, my son and Dad. Keep up the good work.

[MegaVinny]

Royal Enfield are producing some proper good looking machines and at realistic prices. Surely these models would appeal to the younger generation and get them into motorcycling. That Napoleon 500 Bobber is also a top looking machine and amazing price by the looks of it.

[michaelslorach]

Thanks very much for taking the time & energy to share with us, New Enfield looks the part. ❤

[pauljoel]

Fred!!! Not even a glance at the Triumph stand. What were you thinking Man! 😂😂😂

[markwilliamson]

I love video riding with Freddie, all warm and cozy here on the calif coast near San Luis Obispo... as he suffers for us....Thank you Freddie I did my time getting caught out late on rides...southern Utah Moab...all over the place ...Indian reservation gas stations closed campgrounds at Arches in Utah...rain, hail, snow, dark of night....lol..I was young...you being welcomed by Monica warmed my soul and my heart...

[joeh]

After years of winter commuting… heated gloves are the only way to keep your hands warm, doesn’t matter how thick or how many pairs of gloves you wear they’ll always get painfully cold in the winter.

You can get away without a heated jacket but not gloves in my experience. RST paragons are great pair of heated gloves with the battery in the cuff of the glove so no need to wire into the bike. Absolute game changer.

[stewy]

I enjoyed that, the XLCR is strangely my all time favourite Harley. Your face as your hands recovered from the long ride back down south told a story, most of us have been there from time to time. Thanks for putting yourself through it for us ! 🇬🇧

[davidskaggs]

Superb job of filming this event. Absolutely love the RE Bear in the checker pattern with the 249 plate.

[MOTOUK]

Definitely my two picks were the BSA Scrambler & Royal Enfield Bear at the show this year, was great to catch up Freddie, I’ll send you an invoice for the filming work! 😂 cheers Nick 👊

[ArthurClarke-re]

Freddie, you're a martyr for the cause, I can feel the cold at my roaring log fire.

[JonnySundance]

Thanks a really good take on the show. The BSA does look interesting and hopefully will steady the brand’s presence in the market.

[nightcitynarstie]

This video is packed with things I'm so happy to see. The lovely sidecar, the teal colour on the Classic 650, but that LFC700 is absolutely mental.

Freddie, just watched this video. The thing that occurred to me whilst watching it was that almost everyone in the crowd had either a bald head, grey hair, grey beard, big belly, or a combination of all these things.. (Like me) Years ago when I went to the NEC or Earls Court, you could hardly move and had to queue to get to the stands. There were thousands of younger people there. Not anymore it seems. Maybe this is why the British motorcycle industry is in such dire straits.. What is going to happen when all us oldies have gone.. It’s a sad situation. 😕

[thewanderin_rider]

Anyone remember when it was held at Earl’s Court ? Sadly gone now, but I’ll never forget dad taking me as a youngster. It was instrumental in forming a life long passion for motorcycles. 😊

[johnwood]

Thanks for the video Freddie.
A tip if you're going to ride through winter in the UK invest in a heated jacket and heated gloves.Five years ago I spent £400 on a Keis Jacket and gloves connected to the bike's battery(all leads supplied)so no chance of a flat external battery.
The jacket is worn over a base layer with my Oxford Mondial jacket over it, at 71years old my winter riding is now transformed, I never get cold on the bike anymore, 200/250mile winter rides are in perfect comfort and my winter riding is much safer as concentration isn't diminished by cold with wasted energy on trying to prevent early onset hypothermia!

[spency]

I went with a friend this year and was amazed to see that not only were the stands for KTM and CF Moto immediately adjacent to each other, but guys in KTM polo shirts were showing people around the CF Moto bikes. Less than a week later KTM have announced they have gone into a temporary period of ‘self-administration’. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

[Biker_Matt]

And that is why I bought some heated gloves and heated base layers. I ride all year to work. Trust me, heated gear is game changing. 🤘Fun content as always. Thanks

Freddie I think the Royal Alloy coffee& creme side car scooter suited you the best, I'm sure you n Monica will both look great on it together 👌
