- Taking the Triumph Bonneville T120 to visit Bolton Abbey.
The Abbey ruins have been a favourite place of mine for years, but I've never been on a motorcycle before, going on the Triumph also gave me a great excuse to visit Route 59 Cafe which I've heard so much about. Being a weekday it wasn't jam packed with bikers, but I prefer a less crowded life anyway so that suited me just fine.
Again the English countryside, calm weather and a modern classic motorcycle proved to be the perfect mix.

The more I see of the new Triumphs makes me more appreciative of the real Triumphs and BSA's and BMW's in my collection.l love my URAL side car outfit and my Sportster as well as my Triumph. l have had my Sportster for 25 years and I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years. I truly enjoy my Triumph TR25W Enduro. I tow it to the dirt bike park on my 3 rail bike trailer behind the URAL side car outfit. Iget a lot of looks going down the road 🛣️.
so to say, that video made for my soul.
I'm glad you liked it 🙏🏻
I can’t help but imagine the hard work that goes behind making your videos. Shall be great if you share the equipment you use or a “behind the scenes” tutorial. Your videos are a huge inspiration 👏🏽
Thanks Dinesh, there’s a gear run down with Amazon links in the description if you’d like to check out anything I use to make my videos 😊
Mate, you have impeccable taste. That is a gorgeous looking motorcycle.
Thanks Ivan, it’s an easy bike to look at for sure.
Love watching these awesome videos on this channel. Hope Triumph offer you a sponsorship or advertising consultant job. Absolutely makes anyone watching want that classic ride with a modern Triumph . Love the tank rack you've fitted with the suction pads. Two of my old Triumphs had those as part of the tank. Thunderbird 650 TR6 and a Daytona 500 T100ss. Those covers on the imitation Amal carbs have the design from the old after market points covers we all used to fit with those fins on.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful places in your country. Very tasteful mods to the Bonneville; looks great.
Thanks 🙏 Happy to share them 🙂
Very nice filming, we can’t believe how much effort you put into getting all the different shots, and what a nice job you have done on the Triumph, keep it up , very enjoyable .
Thanks Neil, it’s a little work but worth it to get such nice comments as yours.
sweet soft and inspiring video. thank you for myself
Glad you liked it Firat!
Love the footage of your T120, to start the journey.
Thanks Edward!
Beautiful scenery and bike
Thanks Nick! 🙏
Great to see you in my local stomping ground and my local biker cafe (Route 59).....great videos these 👍
Glad you like the videos, I’ll have to get myself up to one of the Route 59 bike nights next year!
@@ClassicRides see you there! 👍
Sets me up with in the right mood for the upcoming weekend!
Ride safe, take care, have fun, and always enjoy LIFE in no hurry...,
Cheers and best regards from Portugal 🙌🏼⛩✌🏼🇵🇹
Hey Luis, glad to have put you in a good frame of mind for the weekend. Happy riding dude!
Toujours de très beaux endroits, de très belles images et, évidemment, une très belle moto….. bravo , un plaisir…!!!! Juan.. Who also drive a T120….. black gold line… ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Juan, the Goldline T120 are special bikes, you’re very lucky to have one.
This is one of the most appealing Bonnies I've seen in quite some time. Very nice job, sir.
Thanks Robert, she's a photogenic beast for sure.
Brilliant video again mate thanks, really like the music at the end 👍
No problem, glad you liked it 🙌
Real England. Great history, great country👍
🙏
Great job on your bike... A real beauty.
Thanks, it’s s work in progress!
I currently own my 2nd Bonnieville T120, stupidly sold the first one and regretted it after 6 months, I have owned over 20 bikes but the T120 is definitely the best, I love the gearing on it and so smooth. I have a 2018 the fusion green and cream colour and nearly ever time I park it some guy will come and admire it and talk to me about the bike, to be honest it sometimes gets annoying, but this Bonnieville is a keeper
I’m glad you’re sticking with the T120 Jack, it’s truly a great bike, the green & cream is a stunning colour choice too!
Relaxing, as always. And your bonneville...😍
Thanks, glad you liked the video, and my Bonnie 😊
Respect for the owner of this Bonnie always clean and bright📸 ! Not easy in your country when i see the sky in your movie ...✌
Thanks 😊. I just give it a good quality wax and polish every 4-5 rides, keeps it in relatively good nick.
Perfect day
It was!
Espetacular !
Magnifico...adorei seu vídeo...a moto, tudo perfeito.
Thank you 🙏
AMAZING! Congratulations. Very very nice video! Cheers.
Hey Diego, thanks and I’m happy you liked the video. 😊
Another classy video 👏🏻 They’re just getting better and better 😉
Thanks, I’m trying! 😁
Sublime. Beautiful work and gorgeous bike mate.
Thanks Jonathan, glad you like the video & my bike :)
Great video, I used to take my kids to Bolton Abbey in the summer and they would spend hours playing in the river, beautiful spot, always called in at the chippy at Kelbrook on our way home to Burnley....
It’s a fantastic place, I’ll never get tired of visiting.
Peaceful Bike Ride brother. Appreciate all your videos
Thanks dude, I appreciate you watching them 😊
I've mention this to you before on Instagram, but I'll say it again. Your Bonneville is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The Abbey ruins make me wish I lived in England.
Thank you 🙏 it’s very kind every time you say it. Bolton Abbey is beautiful, but there’s loads of rubbish places here too 😁
You should make a video of all the accessories you used on your bike. It looks fantastic
Thanks, yes I’ve been thinking I might do just that!
I am really enjoying your videos, I just purchased a 2020 Triumph T120 Bonneville Silver Ice. The variation of music, scenes and view points are inspiring as well as your bike modifications, thanks!
Hey Mark, glad you liked the video. There’s nothing better than a new bike. Hope you get there out there this weekend and roll some tarmac under it!
Hey Mark, What modifications have you done so far if any? I'm wondering what seat to put on mine.. Any suggestions?
Bravo 👏 superb video love it.
Thanks Andrew, so glad you liked it.
The music quite fits the bueatiful scenery!!..ride safe 😀
Thank you, yes there’s no need to rush through our beautiful countryside, if you go slow you get to see more of it 😊
Loved my visit to the Abbey....
It’s a really special place isn’t it.
Bellissimo video!!
Thank you Andrea!
Hi man. Beautiful bike, the absolute BEST countryside. I’m from Ilkley, we used to go to Bolton Abbey regularly with our dog. Gods own I said. I now live in NZ the kiwis call this Gods own too. Even though this country is stunningly beautiful, it doesn’t run through my veins like the Yorkshire Dales. Love it . Cheers.
Hi Kevin, glad you enjoyed the video. The Yorkshire Dales are hard to beat, but anywhere in NZ must give it a good run for the money though!
Excelente videos,!
Thank you 🙏
GREAT VID.
Thanks James, glad you liked it.
Matt, awesom places. ;)
I agree 👍
Também tenho uma. Ótima moto. A sua está bem equipada. Muito linda. Parabéns! ZéRo Kralento Nova Iguaçu RJ Brasil
What an awesome video. I have so much want for that bike. All the tasteful mods, that pannier bag that doubles as a shoulder bag, the extra spotlight on the frame. Beautiful. Count yourself very lucky sir. 👍
Thanks Stephen, I really do feel lucky to own such a nice bike, I honestly never feel envious of other people’s bikes as mine is the best one for me, wouldn’t change it for anything.
@@ClassicRides , and rightly so!! I am envious. Plus, your film making style is perfect for the bike. Subscribed!
I'm currently looking into getting one of the Bonnie variants. Now I want a T120! 😰
They’re all good, you won’t be disappointed whichever one you go for.
The video is beautifully shot and edited, and the bike is gorgeous. My idea of a splendid day out!
Thanks Francis, it was a lovely day out! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very much so, and I've just started poking around your other videos. Do I understand that you've come recently into motorcycling? You seem to have jumped in feet first! (I also just passed my license, and I'm a fair bit older than you...)
@@francisvanderhoeven9959 yes I only got my licence less than a year ago, it's something I've always wanted to do so I thought if I'm going to be a cliché I better do it properly and buy a bike for my 40th. Congrats on passing your test, I hope you're enjoying riding as much I am!
Beautiful.
Thanks Jon, glad you liked it.
Nice video, Thanks.
Happy you liked it Erwin.
Wow, How beautiful! Classic motorcycle is the best. And my favorite beautiful scenes are chrome reflection, especially.
Btw, I've a "Ducati Sport Classic 1000(Vintage Yellow)". I'm so classic fan. Also, I wanna next a motorbike. Perhaps, It is Triumph Bonneville T120 or Ducati GT 1000.
Always beautiful! Thanks from Japan.
Thanks, glad you liked the video. I’d love a Ducati GT too, such a pretty bike!
My congratulations for excellence, again a pleasure to see you, use a traslator I do not speak the language well
Thanks Julian, I’ll try to put subtitles in for videos where I speak.
Thank you for a beautiful film. It brought back many memories of my youth cycling through Wharfdale. In fact I felt a bit emotional (someone cutting onions nearby?).
I'm originally from Harrogate, but now living down south in Western Australia (you can't get much more south-er).
I had planned to come home last year to show my new Mrs the old country, but some shitty disease put a stop to that. I'm longing for travel restrictions to ease, then I'll be back.
Again, beautiful film, lovely scenery and great bike.
Finally, can you do a trip including Swaledale and Wensleydale. That would be perfect.
Cheers from Darlington, Western Australia.
Glad to have brought a little slice of home over the water to you. I am planning on doing more of Yorkshire, we’ve just had the wettest summer I can remember so my filming plans have gone in the bin, but time, work & weather allowing, I’ll send some Wensleydale your way soon 😊
have you been up through Patley Bridge! Lofthouse , Reservoir Howsteen Gorge, Ramsgill, over the tops to leighton Reservoir back to Masham! lovely rides! I spend all my time up there on my Triumph Speedmaster! I recognise all your Roads here! I dont usually do joint rides but if you fancy a ride sometime drop me a line!!!
have. Great day, Ponty pete!
Hi Ponty Pete, no I haven’t been that far north in Yorkshire on the bike yet, hopefully soon though!
Nice 👌😎 Fred
Thanks Fred 😎
Just love it, looks great with all the orange bits removed and I love the new location of the rear indicators, I think you’ve got it spot on now. Looks like you went for the motone shock mounts on the triumph grab rail mount? Did the bolt holes match up?
You’ve got it spot on, yes the holes are M8 so all I needed was a stainless steel washer to fit over the larger hole in the mount and everything now fits perfectly. I use panniers a lot so mounting on the shocks doesn’t work for me. Just happens I really like where they are now.
Just keeps getting better
I’m trying to make them that way, glad you liked it Stanley.
@@ClassicRides what's the serving intervals like and quality of bike
There’s different levels of service needed depending on the distance/times it’s travelled. Easy to find on the internet though. Personally, I’ll be servicing mine every year.
The quality of the bike is top notch, everything is well made and will last if looked after.
@@ClassicRides love the detail you are putting into the bike, looking forward to more
I recently discovered your channel and I am really enjoying your great videos and top notch bike (I am a T100 owner). I am curious about the routes you are taking in some of your videos. My family originated from Yorkshire so wondering if you videos were showing some ancestral countryside. Perhaps a google maps link in the description of future videos? Either way keep up the great work!
Thanks Jonathan, glad you’re enjoying the videos. It’s a little hard to do a google maps route as beyond the destination, eg for this video it was Bolton Abby, I’m not always 100% sure which roads I’ve been on to get there or that I’ve meandered around on to find nice shooting spots. It might be that I install a kind of tracking device on the bike that will plot my routes out, but I haven’t got that just yet.
Curti seu passeio. Aqui no Brasil, temos lugares bem antigos, nem tanto quanto aí. Paisagens e caminhos bem parecidos, com o céu, porém, com menos nuvens, quase sempre. As vezes pego minha bonneville e vou ao encontro de lugares mais calmos, para apreciar melhor o silêncio, a brisa e a paz que tudo isso me traz. Um forte abraço! ZéRo Kralento Nova Iguaçu RJ Brasil 👍
Glad you’re enjoying the videos. It’s always nice to ride a bike somewhere quite and calm. Enjoy your rides!
@@ClassicRides sim é sempre bom rodar com paz e tranquilidade. Seu idioma é difícil pra mim, mas pedi pro meu filho a tradução. Obrigado pelo retorno.👍
I love your bike! It is absolutely beautiful.do you mind sharing the details on the bike. What modifications have you done to it.
Thanks. I’ve changed a fair few things on the bike, the majority of which come from Motone Customs.
Great music.
Thanks James 🙏
Awesome T . Where did you get the the gor the crash bars????
Thanks Mark. The bars are just off eBay, not Triumph ones as they’re way too expensive for what they are.
Love your videos bud, I have a T120 looks just like your bike, 2020 silver. Was thinking about putting a Flyscreen on the bike, do they make much difference?
Thanks dude. For me and the screen I have it definitely smooths the flow of air a bit. But really it depends on your height whether you’d get better or worse airflow.
Hi Mr Channel guy ! Awesome awesome video. I have an 2019 T120 Triumph Bonneville. I enjoy riding to the small towns of beautiful NZ. I believe the 2021 T120 is very very good. Also I have an XMax 2018 Yamaha scooter.
Have you been to NZ ?
Regards. Auckland NZ
Glad you enjoyed the video John. I’ve haven’t been to NZ, it’s on my lust though! You some beautiful roads there for sure.
Parabéns!!!!
Thanks 🙏
Hi, are these the original Triumph Pannier Mounting Rails? By the way, wonderful shots of the landscape. fabulous ride!
Hi Mark, the rails are from Motone Customs. I can’t speak to the Triumph versions but these Motone ones are top notch 👌
@@ClassicRides Thanks!!!
Hi, beautiful video as usual! I am wondering which year's T120 is that? I was looking at the 2021 models and they do not have this white color.
Apologies if i sound naive; I am new to bikes and am thinking of getting a Bonneville for myself but can't seem to find this white color
Hi Manzoor, it’s a colour called Aluminium Silver from the 2018 range of of bikes. It’s actually not white but a very light silver, though it does look white in some of the shots 😊
Really enjoyed the video thank, interested in your new seat and jacket what are they where did you get them from!
Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed the video. The jacket is an old one of mine, it’s a Barbour Bezique. Not strictly a motorcycle jacket, but it’s a good waxed cotton canvas, no different really to the Barbour Motorcycle range.
The seat I had made by Hurley Custom Seats. It’s absolutely top notch 👌, real leather, medical gel insert and memory foam, couldn’t ask for a better seat.
@@ClassicRides Thanks for the information I think your new seat looks brilliant!
It's well worth the money In my opinion.
@@ClassicRides I’ve sent them a e-mail, however they are fully booked currently, I may have to go on a waiting list!
Hey great video in gods country! What make is your pannier ?
Thanks Damien, they’re by Cotswold Hipster, there should be a link in the description so you can check them out.
@@ClassicRides thanks ! Where did you get your rear fender and how did you mount your rear indicators on the grab rail? I’m looking to do the same as I want to add a high grab rail but not mount the indicators on the shock as I carry a pillion. Thanks
Hi Damien, the indicators are actually on a little bracket that screws into the hole where the top part of the grab rail attaches to the lower rail, so you wouldn't be able to do exactly the same if you want to have the top grab rail part. I believe Motone Customs are developing a new bracket that will mount the indicators in roughly the same place, but using a different attachment point, so that would allow you to get the effect you want.
Une vidéo Magnifique : je trouve qu'on ne voit pas beaucoup Cette belle Triumph 1200 dommage ...
Thanks Gerard 🙏
How do you keep the pipes chrome look so good? Are they double walled? I polish mine and they look amazing until my next ride. They start looking dull pretty quick. The video are great but the white is over exposed a bit, just an fyi.
Thanks, yes I believe the pipes are doubled walled. I honestly don’t polish it that often, maybe every 5 rides or more. But I do use ProPrep on all the metal surfaces to keep them in good nick
Did you go with the hepco and becker engine guard?
No actually I just bought some cheap Chinese made dresser bars. They fit perfectly and haven’t rusted though so I’m happy with them for now. The H&B bars are just a little too expensive for what they are I think.
Hello, very nice video the T120 is beautiful its equipment just as it should be. Mine arrives in 1 week and I can't find panniers like yours on France can you help me? Also the saddle seems to be personalized to measure it is superb can you tell me more? Good continuation and good roads ✌❤ Phil
Hi Phil, glad you liked the video. The particular panniers in this video are from a company called ‘Cotswold Hipster’, the bag is called the ‘Berkeley’. I also sell a similar, but smaller pannier on my website 😊.
The seat is indeed a custom one, it was made by Hurley Custom Seats in Scotland. The craftsmanship is excellent so I can’t recommend him enough!
@@ClassicRides super merci beaucoup , je suis allé sur votre site il est top merci je vais vous suivre mais acheté en Angleterre risque de me couter trop en frais de douane c'est bien dommage je vais attendre et chercher pour les sacoches et voir avec un sellier local selon votre réalisation j'ai pu voir la liste de l'equipement apporté à votre T120 ca m'aidera beaucoup pour équiper la mienne , a bientot bonnes routes Phil ❤✌
@@poutch1963 No problems Phil, yes customs charges are very expensive at the moment, hopefully it'll all get sorted out soon!
Looks fabulous!...do you ever get pulled up with that black and silver plate ?
Not yet, I’m sure it’s coming though 😁
@@ClassicRides got one made up for my t120 black love the look but not risked it yet...maybe I'll give it a go...it looks sooo much better like yours !
@@martincolin6445 I think as long as you don’t give them a proper reason to pull you over you’ll be fine. But I wouldn’t put it on for the first few weeks of April. Most police forces actively go after bike’s with dodgy plates at the start of riding season so I don’t risk it then.
@@ClassicRides thankyou for the tip...can I send you a pic? Are you on WhatsApp ?
@@martincolin6445 I’m not I’m afraid dude, I’m on Instagram or Facebook though, always happy to see another T120.
Esta moto é meu sonho, pego uma este ano, se Deus quiser.
I hope you do!
Nice video. Do you ever get pulled by the Police for your number plate?
Haven’t been pulled yet, sure it’s coming though 😁
What a bonny bonnie! Got bored with saturn v pipes and back to basics?
Not at all, I really liked the Saturn V's. They just don't work with my new panniers as they touch the bottom of the bags, in which I keep my camera gear so had to go back to the pea shooters. but i don't mind as I love the pea-shooters too.
@@ClassicRides Roger that. I ordered and installed motone pipes a few weeks ago inspired by one of your videos and opinion you presented as a reply to my comment. I am well pleased, thank you. The sound they produce is growly, throaty and a lot more substantial compared to OEM.
Your T120 is so tastfully done, especially the rear section I like featuring rear fender, tail light, indicators, rail etc. Ride safe. Cheers
I’m so pleased you’re happy with the pipes Jacek, they really are good exhausts for a T120!
How much did they charge you in the car park?
You have to book in advance at the moment, so it’s £10 if you book at least the day before, £12 if you book on the day I think.
@@ClassicRides yes a total rip off. I remember going a few years ago and turning away at that price.
A shame you missed visiting such a beautiful place, I don’t think it’s a rip off at all. It goes towards conserving the ruins and keeping it open to the public. For £10 you could literally spend all day there exploring.
I got married at the Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey. It’s beautiful there. Great vid, fantastic bike.
That’s an amazing place to get married!
All street bikes should have crashbars on them. You never know.
