      It’s always been like this even since I first when over 20 years ago, the locals expected it, it’s the people that go cars that have a nightmare. It’s a great buzz for the bikers but I normally go in the week when it’s quiet.

      Yip. Stick to the rural fast roads away from all the madness. A ride out isn’t comfortable or fun with so many riders and bikes all in one place. Too many variables to deal with regarding other riders experience.

      ​@@thatbikersimonI first went 45 years ago on my AP50, with my mate who was on his Fs1e. We loved it cos it was like a free bike show. No matter how rare or prestige you'd probably see one at Matlock Bath. The shops have always appreciated the trade it brings too. Even during the winter when visitors are less numerous, you'll see bikers providing much needed income.

    I used to live there as a teenager in the 80's for a few years. Before I could even ride a bike. Mom owned a hairdressing salon on the parade, which turned into a biker clothes shop when it closed. Best place to grow up if you liked bikes, fish n chips, and arcade games. Happy times.

    It reminds me of my hometown's Bike Festival. The bikes take over the town for a few days and is such a great environment.
    I see a lot of comments mentioning how awful it might be for the locals. If it is a once a year gathering/destination going for decades, in my experience, the locals most likely grew up with it and embraced it. People will come back all year round creating buzz to the area.
    Don't take me wrong, I'd love to leave under a rock most of the times, but this environment can be fun.

    • @thatbikersimon

    An excellent video! Matlock Bath is a famous inland resort. It is a bit tacky for sure and does get very busy/noisy on a warm sunny day, especially at weekends. If you like Blackpool and motorbikes, you'll love Matlock Bath. In the autumn they have the Matlock Bath illuminations, nowadays a somewhat watered-down version of the fantastic events my parents took me to in the 1950s/early 60s. But still a quite magical experience to walk through the lights and illuminated features along the far river bank at dusk. Maybe they've finished now? Last time I went was 2007.
    Some great bikes on show there, but my favourite feature of the video - the lovely Amy, what a beautiful lady! Cheers......
    PS. And remember, she's 5' 4", NOT 5' 2". 🤣

I’ve been Matlock Bath many times over the last 30 years of my biking career, it still amazes me and that people you see who have never been before are totally unaware of what’s there. One old lady once asked me why are there so many bike here and I said I don’t know they always come here 😂

I passed through settle on the bank hol to see the same in the market place, but there's no way i would ever visit a place like this and have the hassle when so busy, i like to get on the moors away from it all, so when i'm next in matlock or wherever, it'll be out of the holiday season mid-week lol, but thanks for the video.

    Matlock Bath has hardly changed in fifty years, it was a mecca for bikers in the late sixties, Bonnevilles. Rocket Threes, Honda fours, Velocette Thruxtons etc, the only real change has been the cable cars up to The heights of Abraham. There was a nice zoo at nearby Riber Castle.

    So we were there that weekend, a camping trip from Norfolk. We actually walk past at 15:30 2 chaps in caps walking on the road . The lady who owned the leather repair shop said you can park at the top end of town for 1 hour then the road next to the leather shop is a divide and you can park at that side for an hour. Strange system but that’s why we were about to move the bikes while our other friend had some leathers altered

    They want to have a bike day 1st Saturday of each month, close it off. £5 each bike, funds go to a different local charity each month. More people go, the more money goes into local businesses. Everyones happy. The council should see visitors as an asset, if there is a parking issue, get some volunteer marshals parking people up.

    I live a few miles from Matlock Bath. My weekend and BH riding is done and dusted by 9am. I avoid it like the plague!
    As for the locals, they hate motorcyclists. I know we aren't popular anywhere, but it's real hatred around here. You won't notice it on a busy Sunday etc, as bikes outnumber cars. But ride in the area 7 days a week and you definitely bear the brunt of it.
    To be honest, a certain percentage come here, dick about, bounce it off the limiter from the lights with open pipes etc. A bit of common sense would help, but it's never going to happen.
    Police don't want us here either. Regular stops for cans, plates etc, whilst ignoring cars with illegal plates. Masson Mills and Whatstandwell bridge on the A6 are regular bike check/stop places.
