At 29.30, the single Harley-D was an Aermacchi and the Company was owned by HD for a short time, but had little or no input from HD USA. They were a very famous Racing Bike company in years gone by.
Cheers, that file took 14 hours to upload to UA-cam. That's the downside of filming in 4K. Definitely a great event but we'll probably stick to doing the Stafford show as it's much closer for us.
I think it's fair to say that Vincent are the pinicle for beautiful engine and bike design. These days you can walk round a showroom and they all pretty much look the same. Some real beauts there. Thanks
Yep, certainly beautiful design and fast. Thing I love about the early days of motorcycling was they tried every different engine configuration. Hope you're keeping well and best wishes.
Thanks for the guided tour. What a variety of bikes! I had a BSA Bantom which was old even then, I ended up getting a Zundapp which I never did get running. My first experience that some people can’t be trusted! 😩 I love that all bikers have a story! 😁
My favourite bit is chatting to the owners. Unfortunately, had to edit down lots of the chats as the vid is already too long. Sorry to hear about the Zundapp experience. I remember buying an old RD250 and on the ride home it blew a hole clean through the piston! Seller said it was my fault, I only made it 4 miles from his house! Definitely some amazing bikes on show. Got really busy later but a great show. 👍
Many thanks for taking the time to edit and upload this video. A very comprehensive view of the show. Fingers crossed it gets as many hits as your Stafford Classic Bike Show video Greetings from Derbyshire
Thanks, it certainly took a bit of editing this one. Took 14 hours to upload to UA-cam as the file is huge. We were amazed how well the Stafford show views went. Currently at about 50K This is a similar format but who knows with UA-cam?? Hope you're keeping well.
Brilliant, thanks for taking us around with you. Loved seeing all the bikes from my past. You left school the same year as I did Richard, I was sat here pining over the same bikes as you were, made me chuckle. Great to see all those, thanks again to you both.
Yes, lots of us our age think about the bikes we had as youngsters. All seemed super exciting at the time. Certainly some great bikes around in the 80s, a good mix of two and four strokes.
Thanks, we appreciate all the fellow motorcycle fans who watch and comment on the videos. Definitely makes the effort in making them seem worthwhile. Cheers
great content both .we spoke at Triumph last Sunday , yesterday in fact .Iam only half way through so will watch the rest later lalso your Matlock Bath one to see . best wishes from upton.
Its great to put a face to some of the names in the comments section. Was really nice to chat on Sunday. Yes this video is a long one, we thought the bikes deserved a closer look and we enjoyed chatting to some of the owners. Thanks for watching the video and best wishes Richard and Carol
I still find it amazing that people on the other side of the world watch our little channel. Appreciate the kind words. Best wishes from Carol & Richard
Brilliant stuff that thank you for it. Never been to Bristol, well not the show. I have been to Bristol only to pick up a motorbike engine and some spares! So many fantastic bikes and now so many we grew up with are classics in their own right. A bit shocked that Carol has never heard of Jasper Carrot's Moped epic, it's the backbone of British popular culture from that time! 🤦♂🤣🤣🤣Thank you for the video watched over two nights. 👍👍
Thanks. Yes, with Carol being younger than me, the legend that is Jasper Carot passed her by! Appreciate it was a long vid, thanks for sticking with us.
We were there on Sunday. It was just as cold! Nice to get a recap of the show. I had an lc250, but my favourite was my cherry red 1973 Rd350 air-cooled. Shame there wasn't one in the show....
My shortest ownership of an air cooled RD250 was buying it second hand and blowing a hole through the piston after just 4 miles! My LC never gave me any bother at all. Think the Stafford Classic has more contemporary classics that guys in their late 50s and 60s remember owning originally.
@Banditmanuk I did blow a hole in a piston but that was on an old yds6, a 1969 model. It had drop handlebars and twin leading shoe front brakes, which were pretty hopeless!
just watched the 2nd half of the show .you both did a great job and you are a lovely couple . it bought back lots of memories of bikes in our past. Linda had never been on a bike before we met in 1969 and we have had a great life. we have had sidecar outfits when our son came along in 1973 ,the isle of man ,rallies with the Federation of sidecar clubs . One of the lovely bikes you mentioned ,the Kawasaki z1 at the show we tried a demo bike at the time from Davic Motique at Long Eaton . see you soon .
Brilliant, and thanks for the kind words. Carol had nothing to do bikes before we met in 86. She eventually did her bike test in 2012 when our oldest lad passed his bike test. It's definitely led to a great shared interest as we've got older. I do see the fun with sidecars, maybe one day. The Kawasaki Z1 still looks gorgeous now, I would consider owning one now. Was a pleasure meeting you, take care and best wishes
Another great video Richard and Carol and nice to chat to you again. I hope your wait in the Coffee queue was worthwhile. At 4.13 you showed a green Francis Barnett Cruiser with a 197cc engine. 2 weeks ago, I bought one of these with a 225cc engine, that looked pretty well the same. Amazing what we see at these shows isn't it? See you at Stafford with The Marston Sunbeam Club & Register stand, on which will be my Sunbeam Model 90 along with a number of very special bikes.
Your knowledge of these bikes way surpasses mine, but I'm enjoying learning about the older machinery. I openly admit I know very little about Francis Barnett, but I will take a look back at the vid now. Yep we hope to be at Stafford again and look forward to saying hello again. Coffee was much needed and enjoyed
Now you’re talking great stuff The Vincent and HRD beautiful top quality machines and very valuable machines Splendid new imperial machine Lovely VMCC member discussing the Little Rover Soon get used to having the gears and brakes opposite I have both and jump on and off 😊😊😊😊 Deffo get used to it 😊 You think that’s hard try riding my hand gear change 1932 BSA with brake on the right haha but it’s easy really Glad to see it’s busy Cheers for sharing i love these shows 😊😊😊
Thanks, I thought there would be something to interest you in this vid. We are just learning about the more classic side of motorcycles. Some amazing different machines to see. Was fascinating chatting to some of the owners. Hand gear changes! Now that would take me a while.
@@Banditmanuk Hand change it’s quite easy really … Classics get under your skin if you’re not careful. I know most of the dealers and suppliers now in the Uk I learnt in detail about advance / retard levers and magneto’s Dynamo / voltage regulators / alternators Coil ignitions Valve lifters and ref to top dead centre Amal carbs all types Soon pick it up if you have the interest I’ve only done it for 6 years and ridden quite a few now ! Changed clutches etc timing and dealt with charging systems tho it does help me being an electrician Tho I have some experience with old cars coming from a family who runs a car business hence my current Austin seven And that’s all in any spare time I get .. no tax, no mot required now tho mine would all pass, cheap insurance Anyway glad you looked as tho you two had a good time and look forward to your next video ! Off to Ireland 🇮🇪 Tom for over 2 weeks work so work now bikes later for me👍 Can’t do it all !! Regards Phil
The model with the sticking carburetor was interesting. The Suzuki VX800 is rare also in my country. It had a nice design and having a shaft was really a good thing for Suzuki. Today they don't have it anymore. Wonderful exhibition. Would love to go there once. I would need hours there... :) p.s. The 2-strokes were also there.
These classic bike shows happen a few times each year here if you ever get chance to visit England. I just love the different engine configurations, two and four stroke. They tried many different designs over the years. Thanks for watching Gregor
@@Banditmanuk Richard, you may have forgotten, that the RG500 you looked at was a square 4 2 stroke. Derived from the RG500 Grand Prix bikes, that Barry Sheene won his 2 World Championships on.
Those speedometer on those Vincents are spectacularly cool as are the looks of the engines. Correct on the bevel drive on that Ducati. You had that Kawasaki green bike...no excuse for running over you because they definitely couldn't say they didn't see you.😄😄 Earls forks are pretty sharp on the old motorcycles. I love going to shows where there are motorcycles you may have never seen before or something that you have seen for decades. Thanks for taking us with you.
Well if you're going Kawasaki, it had to be green! Got me to work cheaply and sold it for virtually what I bought it for. Never thought these and bikes like my old RD250LC would become classics. Guess that's what happens if you live long enough. Loved chatting to some of the owners
Thank you both for bringing up along for the trip. So many interesting bikes there. I personally can’t believe the condition of some of those 1920’s and 1930’s bikes, that was truly incredible. Nice to see you recognised people from previous shows, fair play to those who keeps these bikes in great condition and bring them to these shows for people to enjoy 🤘 That Desmosedici RR might not have been practical but my good it does sound awesome 🤘 There’s a fella who comes up the super sausage most Sundays on a classic Indian scout v-twin, don’t know how it survives the winters. I personally love that Carol looks at every bike and questions it’s comfort 😂 I think some of those “projects” outside are probably just meant for the scrap bin 😬 Great video guys, looked a great day, hope you’re both well 🤘
Well top marks for sticking with a vid of this length. We really enjoyed chatting to some of the owners, they were real enthusiasts. We need to make an effort to make it down to the super sausage, bit of a haul for us. Carol is a great asset to making the vids as its quite nice answering her questions as we walk around. Was sort of hoping this might do as well as the Stafford Classic show vid (52K views) but doesn't look like it. Wish I knew how this UA-cam malarkey worked 🤔🤔
@@Banditmanuk No worries mate, made for good watching with a cup of tea and some biscuits ☺️ It would be awesome to have you there one Sunday, maybe when the weathers nicer, I should hopefully get to meet you both at the Saddlebags ride next month 🤘 You two together are without a doubt up there as one of the best motovlogging channels around 👏 Ahah I don’t think anyone really knows how it works 😂
Sorry I'm late to the party Richard and Carol, no notification again 😕 Some extraordinary machines on show, I'm glad you made a longer video to show us them all 👍😀 I'm a bit gutted that Carol was awestruck by the Douglas Dragonfly whilst finding the ZZR1400 ugly 🤔😢 Whilst you may scowl at the prospect of those questionable doer uppers at the end. I had the misfortune once to break a clutch cable on my car on a Sunday, I was directed to an old car restorer nearby. I found him tinkering with an old Landover Jeep, it was nothing but a well rusted frame. That's dedication for you.
Well I love the ZZR1400👍 Interesting to see how Rhythmic bikes gets on with his. Honestly I do think some traders are just chancing their hand at a few of the worst rotted frames. There comes a time when you're basically building a new replica rather than restoring a classic
@@Banditmanuk Yes exactly like the Jeep, might as well have had a new frame as well. The old rusty one will only rot the new parts anyway. Your going to enjoy the Rocket and I'm sure it will also get Carols approval 👍😀 Could be a win, win 😘😍
11:30 You are correct. As a more mature owner of two Honda Dax mopeds I can say that rather than being safer they are in fact considerably more dangerous, being able to keep up with the flow of traffic is much safer, which you'll know of course. I always took the pedal system off my numerous SS50's along with fitting the 70cc top end of course 😁
Overall a huge variety of bikes. Different styles, types... some very rare. My friend Franc has some of them like those in the video: BSA Goldstar, Norton Manx, Ducati Desmosedici... I filmed his collection. :) The BMWs would be also nice to see here. Also Guzzis...
Yep certainly some rare bikes. The guy talking about his Honda says even Honda themselves don't have his bike in their museum. I've certainly never seen one before with the strange manual indicators
@@Banditmanuk The are a lot of so different bikes in the world that we just cannot go through all of them. I watched the whole video and it surprised me too.
Lovely job! God there was some gorgeous stuff on show (Stafford is still the daddy though) I had a Z250 for years, mine was metallic red but I always wanted the Scorpion version though, LC 250's I had 2 (but I loved the Z more) the black/red/orange mars bar model was the tidiest but the white/red one was the quickest, it walked all over the Honda 400-4 I replaced it with, I'm a Kawasaki man but I've always loved CBX's and the CB1100R's. Thank you.
Your probably right on the Stafford show (if you've seen our vid from there). Think there's huge interest from folks who can remember buying these bikes back in the 70s 80s and 90s. Unfortunately there's not many folks around that remember buying and riding in the 60s or earlier so there's not quite the nostalgia for the earlier classics. Stafford definitely has more bikes from my era. Still plenty to enjoy and we had a great day. Thanks for watching
@@Banditmanuk We try to attend the October Stafford show most years despite us travelling from Norfolk, I'm the fella you advised to visit flat cap cafe racer, (thanks for that) I told him that you put me on to him (enjoy his laid back style) and he said that you and Carol are nice people, I'm looking forward to more of his stuff.
@David Reed He was on Exeter Rider's live stream tonight. Really interesting watch, he's done so much from being in charge of nuclear missiles to drag racing on the Bonneville salt flats.
Very interesting guys as ever lovin the Japanese classics they are more me, pre sixties probably not so much .The EK200 Honda was a real surprise never seen or heard of it before . The 81 GSX 750 was a great bike to ride I loved it and it was a lot different to the previous GS models which were also great bikes .I note the black RE5 has GT 750 clocks I can only assume they used them on the first models maybe not sure on that one .That red Ducati "wow'' talk about Italian flare fabulous ,gotta say guys I never really liked the look of the CX500 The Guzzi's on the other hand yes . I had a Heinkel for a while when I was about 16 I never took it on the road though it was a red one and believe it or not I bought for £3 from a guy who just wanted rid of it and I wish I still had it , as with most all the stuff I had 😉Ohhh the YDS7 250 in that colour for me was one of the best looking Yam 250/350's they did awesome .I had a YDS3 as one of my first bikes I bought it for £18 but the clutch did not work so I used to ride it up and down the drive where I lived without a clutch but of course never went far nor got it sorted and it would have been so simple knowing what I know now .I seem to remember the 350 four Honda was in the USA not here nice motor though ,note the Laverda's also had the right had gear change and I think this is why they didn't get exported to the USA could be wrong there though . Guys apologies I've done it again when you do these shows it's just so interesting and you look at everything so I just have to comment .😉👌👍Gotta get to a classic show this year if poss .
You need to go to the Stafford Classic 14th & 15th October this year. More of the Japanese classics there. We will almost certainly go. Looks like we've triggered some nostalgia with some of the bikes. We try to get closer and more detailed shots than some. Makes for a long vid but so glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you taking the time for such a detailed reply. Hope you're keeping well.
A different view from our friends channel ua-cam.com/video/PwGYWnKjFlo/v-deo.html
Wow that's absolutely fantastic and awesome displayed motorcycles. Keep it up and more vidz to come my friend.
Thank you my friend. Appreciate your kind words 🙏
nice video like always mr bandit
Cheers 👍👍👍
What a great day. Liked the little single Harley Davidson and a special motorcycle for the ladies, wow. Thank you for the show mate. 😎
No problem, always good to hear from you. Thanks for watching
At 29.30, the single Harley-D was an Aermacchi and the Company was owned by HD for a short time, but had little or no input from HD USA. They were a very famous Racing Bike company in years gone by.
Great visit, thanks both.
Thanks for watching, we had a great day
Lovely to see it all in hi def, crackin' vid of a great day out 🙂

Hope you're keeping well and best wishes.
@@Banditmanuk That's very true Richard. At the early stage, they really didn't know what would be the best, so they tried pretty well everything.
Really nice nostalgic trip around the exhibition. Many thanks to both of you for sharing. ……..
Thanks for watching, we enjoyed the day.
Great review
Thanks very much
Thanks for the guided tour. What a variety of bikes! I had a BSA Bantom which was old even then, I ended up getting a Zundapp which I never did get running. My first experience that some people can’t be trusted! 😩 I love that all bikers have a story! 😁

Wow, great show, some very nice bikes. I'd like to own something from 1972 like that GT 550
Yep some lovely bikes. I'm probably most drawn to the late 70s early 80s machines that were available when I first started riding.

Coil ignitions
Valve lifters and ref to top dead centre
Amal carbs all types
Soon pick it up if you have the interest
I’ve only done it for 6 years and ridden quite a few now ! Changed clutches etc timing and dealt with charging systems tho it does help me being an electrician
Tho I have some experience with old cars coming from a family who runs a car business hence my current Austin seven
And that’s all in any spare time I get ..
no tax, no mot required now tho mine would all pass, cheap insurance

Stafford definitely has more bikes from my era.
Still plenty to enjoy and we had a great day. Thanks for watching
@@Banditmanuk We try to attend the October Stafford show most years despite us travelling from Norfolk, I'm the fella you advised to visit flat cap cafe racer, (thanks for that) I told him that you put me on to him (enjoy his laid back style) and he said that you and Carol are nice people, I'm looking forward to more of his stuff.
@David Reed He was on Exeter Rider's live stream tonight. Really interesting watch, he's done so much from being in charge of nuclear missiles to drag racing on the Bonneville salt flats.
@@Banditmanuk Oh blimey! I wished I'd have known that, sounds great, I wonder if he'll put it up on his channel?

Very interesting guys as ever lovin the Japanese classics they are more me, pre sixties probably not so much .The EK200 Honda was a real surprise never seen or heard of it before . The 81 GSX 750 was a great bike to ride I loved it and it was a lot different to the previous GS models which were also great bikes .I note the black RE5 has GT 750 clocks I can only assume they used them on the first models maybe not sure on that one .That red Ducati "wow'' talk about Italian flare fabulous ,gotta say guys I never really liked the look of the CX500 The Guzzi's on the other hand yes . I had a Heinkel for a while when I was about 16 I never took it on the road though it was a red one and believe it or not I bought for £3 from a guy who just wanted rid of it and I wish I still had it , as with most all the stuff I had 😉Ohhh the YDS7 250 in that colour for me was one of the best looking Yam 250/350's they did awesome .I had a YDS3 as one of my first bikes I bought it for £18 but the clutch did not work so I used to ride it up and down the drive where I lived without a clutch but of course never went far nor got it sorted and it would have been so simple knowing what I know now .I seem to remember the 350 four Honda was in the USA not here nice motor though ,note the Laverda's also had the right had gear change and I think this is why they didn't get exported to the USA could be wrong there though . Guys apologies I've done it again when you do these shows it's just so interesting and you look at everything so I just have to comment .😉👌👍Gotta get to a classic show this year if poss .
You need to go to the Stafford Classic 14th & 15th October this year. More of the Japanese classics there. We will almost certainly go.
Looks like we've triggered some nostalgia with some of the bikes. We try to get closer and more detailed shots than some. Makes for a long vid but so glad you enjoyed it.
Appreciate you taking the time for such a detailed reply.
Hope you're keeping well.
Nice filming but what a shame you missed the Exmoor Hall !
Yep sorry ran out of battery unfortunately

Italian HD
Sorry, I don't understand?
Carol has put me right, the single cylinder Harley was built in Italy 👍
@@Banditmanuk It wasn't a Harley, it was an Aermacchi, which HD owned for a short while.
