  • Matlock Bath is well known for a place to visit on your motorbike. Every Sunday, you will always find bikes at Matlock Bath in Derbyshire. Lot's of types, new and old, choppers, sports, 2-strokes, they all come to this place.
    Great cafes for food and drinks and the people here are always welcoming. Plenty of places to park and for bikes, I understand that parking on the main road is free (I have never paid).
    Beautiful walks by the river and lot's of wildlife to see. Come visit and you will have a lovely time. Not far from Bakewell so you can try some Bakewell Tart/Pudding.

    “Come over to Matlock Bath during the summer” he said
    I think Summer is probably my favourite day of the year

    Been a number of times on a Sunday when chaos rules, the number of biker's takes your breath away, marvellous.

      In the height of summer Ian, it just gets crazy in Matlock - bet the locals love the spending that goes on. It's like being at the seaside, but inside the countryside 😆

      The old Guppy 😆. I put a micron pipe on mine. In reality, it made no difference to power but did sound great 😆

    Hey-hey my British friend; we needed at least another 15-20 min. on this video. I would have liked a longer walk along that river; then crossed the street & walked along the row of motorcycles in front of the stores-yea!! You let me down Richard (lol). Glad to hear that you bought yourself a Triumph T-120. I can't wait to see it (what color) ? Have a lovely day! Cheers!! Illinois, USA

    Ive been going since I had an AP50 in 1978. Gets incredibly busy as you've said.
    Easy for me though as I live 15 minutes away. Great video mate.

    We used to go to Matlock Bath from North Wales and then over the Cat & Fiddle on our way home, but that was in the 80’s, we now live in Albany Western Australia

I did a study on the Kanger - once they are up to speed, they exert very little energy (and I mean really small levels of energy) as their combination of legs, tail, and body work in such a manner that they act like a pendulum. Incredible design of evolution. All the energy is spent on getting up to speed and then stopping. Useless information 😆

      Let's face it Treker, there are not hany places in the UK where 217 ponies can be unleashed from their stable 😆, Jesus, how does one control that amount of power? 😆
