You managed to make a commuting/traffic filtering trip interesting even to someone like me, who rides in heavy traffic everyday. I must say you are a respectful rider, and drivers appear to be less crazy than in Italy.
Another great Video I have walked past that coffee shop so many times. Next time I am going in for a coffee. Like that Jacket, it's hard to get a good-looking cool summer jacket for a motorcyclist. Good to see the Triumph Bonneville on the out again. Those Beautiful panniers.
Nice panniers if a bit small. C-Bow, I see. Great jacket. Ditto, the boots. If I was still in London I'd buy a pair of the boots. This is an excellent channel.
Enjoyed your vid Freddie,i watch alot of RJ vids,but it's nice to see London from a different perspective with you esp with your visits,i have now joined your Triumph family having bought a Trident 2 weeks ago,which is fab,look forward to your next vid,Cheers.
Thanks very much Adrian and massive congrats on your new purchase! I've heard the Trident is incredible fun! I spoke to someone at Triumph and they said that the majority of the team at Triumph enjoy riding the Trident most! Happy riding!🙂
@@FreddieDobbs Thanks for reply Freddie👍 yep,i am enjoying the Trident thanks,still running it in,but find it more comfortable & more planted in the corners than my old 790 duke & it really suits me better,happy riding too👍🙂
Looks like it's really fun to ride motorbikes in the streets of London........you gave us a excellent viewing experience Freddie ❤️....... Lots of love from Calcutta, India 🙌
I used to commute into London but after a while it killed the thrill of biking for me. Went back to the train and biked at weekends. Totally get what you're saying though, the convenience is unbeatable. Another reason I stopped was after watching a colleagues Harley V-Rod being lifted into the back of a van. They used scaffold poles and it was done in seconds. I was in a high-rise stairwell, so couldn't do a thing!
Thank you Mark! Driving a car in London is hellish- it's got so bad I won't drive in any more than zone 4. Biking quite fun in a strange way though (although a lot of people wouldn't agree with me on that!😆)
When you went to the balcony of Tate Modern and filmed the surrounding areas, with river Thames in the background, I remembered that I also went there, some 12 years ago, as a day trip/excursion. Part of the experience while studying english in a summer school some 60 miles southwest of London, a village called Sibford Ferris :) just brilliant experience mate.
Nice one Freddie and Monica! Oh the smugness of two wheels, filtering hither and thither lol! Very cool cafe, and high five on the H and B panniers .... I have C Bow semi-rigid on my F750GS and they look good and function better 👌🏻
Another interesting video Freddie, done Ipswich myself a few times (from Chelmsford) and been to the restaurant on the harbour but never done Woodbridge so on my list now 👍
I take it car drivers in London expect and accept push bikes and motorcycles filtering as normal everyday behaviour to look out for . I don't think they are as tolerant as that up here in the sunny Toon. Good viewing platform at the Tate
Very interesting! There are thousands of Deliveroo and Uber riders whizzing around London 24/7, so I think it's so built into every car driver's mind that they're extremely tolerant and accommodating.
Thanks for the tips, nice video. Re the congestion charge I thought bikes from 2007 (or Euro 3 engine emission standard) won't pay but the rest have to. am I mixing ULEZ and congestion?. Historic taxed motorcycles won't pay ULEZ for sure but not sure if they have to pay congestion zone charge or all motorbikes are excluded from congestion charge.
I think you're spot on re the congestion- I thought it was 2008, but I'm splitting hairs and I may be wrong! I had a 2002 Suzuki Bandit and swapped it for the Bonneville as it's congestion charge exempt.
Man, that filtering bit freaked me out in some parts. I hope to visit London one day, such a cool city mixed with old and new architecture and a lot of history. The B roads you have there look super scenic with all the little towns you can drive through. Great vid as usual. On a side note, if Paul Bettany ever needed a stand in to play Vision, you have my vote.
Hi Dennis, London is a fantastic city- never a boring moment in London, but the traffic is crazy!😆 Thank you for your vote of confidence if I ever secure an acting stand in role!!😆
Amazing video as always. That coffee tube thing is super cool, but I thought roasted coffee needs to rest a week or two to get the best taste out of it. It is interesting that they serve coffee 20 minutes of it roasting.
Another great informative video Freddie, watch out @ 14:09 I got nicked (3 points & £60 fine) for doing that, unbelievably unlucky to be honest but didn't realise it was a crossing refuge!
Great video Feddie and I see a lot of familiar roads. Just for information, if you have a bike that is pre 2007, check it against the TFL ULEZ checker. Some bikes might still need to pay but if you commute into the ULEZ zone, which from October 2021, extends to the North and South Circular roads, so please be careful.
It's so sunny I almost didn't believe it was London. I lived there for three and a half years (uni) and I think I saw about ten sunny days (I'm exaggerating, of course, but you get the point).
Bonjour Freddie Merci pour ta vidéo. Quel est le modèle chez Triumph que tu as... merci pour ta réponse. Forgive me for my english. Can you tell me the model of your bike. Thks
Hello Freddie, I have a T120 Bonneville 2019 and I find the standard seat a bit hard after a couple of hours, I am looking at the King / Queen seat and wanted to know how comfortable it is, as with Triumph accessories you have to buy it to try it and they won’t refund once ordered? Also when it rains do the buttons fill with water and allow it to penetrate the foam, and what is the actual material. Sorry so many questions
Hi Richard, The K&Q seat is the comfiest seat I've ever sat on- it's comfier than cruiser Harleys, it really is superb! I think it's leather (although I haven't absolutely confirmed that in my mind!), and water doesn't get in through the button holes. It's a superbly made seat and very hard wearing, but above all the comfort is absolutely game changing- for both rider and pillion. Monika is the best judge of seat comfort after all of the pillion riding she does with me, and this is the only seat she'd do long rides on 🙂
Thanks Freddie you have made my mind up. Great video of London, I worked there some 15 years ago and the traffic has not changed a bit, lived in Herne Hill but worked all round the west end and ended up dumping the car and used the tube. The good lady ask can we see more of what Monika wears?
@@richardbarrett-peck8395 You won't be disappointed with the seat🙂 Ahhh I can imagine- driving a car is impossible in London- I've tried before for work and lasted one week! That's a very good point- I'll try and get Monika in the vlogs a bit more (I have been trying, but she is very shy so will take some convincing😆)
Thanks for your video, I was actually looking for exactly what you were explaining, I heard they are charging motorcycles now for congestion charge in London 🤔will need to investigate as my work in inside that zone😣
@@FreddieDobbs for sure, just waiting for things to calm down a little more and then I’m there, as I’m always looking for an excuse to be in London, so I definitely will🤙🏻 in the mean time I’m excited to see what else you create 🤘🏼
Hi Rog! Unfortunately they have no UK stockists, purely online. Their gear comes up absolutely bang on, so don't size up/down. I highly recommend all of the Broger gear- very well fitting and great styling!🙂
I contacted them and sadly they replied stating that they no longer export to the UK presumably a consequence of Brexit. So treasure your kit as it will be difficult to source replacements
Another classy, stylish and soothing video! Exiting coffee place there! Are bike thefts/jackings a big problem in were you live? Favorite bike lock? As a result from subbing and liking I´m having constant economic success and multiple swimming sessions with hords of bowlegged women! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Really glad you enjoyed it! Bike thefts are bad in London, so you always need to lock your bike. I have five different locks and they're all different, but I usually but a heavy duty chain and Masterlock is the brand I usually go for, although I should try some of the dedicated motorcycle locks to compare!
Would love to visit London but im nervous about leaving my bike overnight on the street. Is there any private lock up overnight parking for bikes in Central London?
Expect to pay very high prices for parking in London. I have visited London a decade ago with my car and paid for 6 hours like 90 Pounds. I imagine it got much worse by now. Although it was a car and not a bike. I have heard that bike theft is very common in London, so I would pay the price.
Is it safe to park in London on the street, I am planning some trip this year (from The Netherlands), depending on COVID. Someone told to not go to London because highly theft risk. Or is this only during the night? Nice coffee place by the way, it was The Strand location? Where did you park?
You've got me there! I actually have no idea at all! Are you from the US? I think (although you've got me second guessing myself!😆) most people in the UK call them panniers, although "saddle bags" would be used too.
@@FreddieDobbs Yeah bud I’m from the States, but your not the first Brit I’ve heard call them that, so it must be saddlebags is more of an American term ?
I can't wrap my mind around parking my bike in the middle of traffic like that with nothing but some lane paint and the power of prayer to keep it safe. Also, is it really that chill to filter through traffic like that? Is that mostly London or all over the UK? Looked like you even went around a cop @14:37
It's a good point- I think if I think about it too much, I probably wouldn't leave my bike like that! Yep it's legal to lane split in the UK, so riding past police is absolutely fine. In the motorcycle test in the UK, they do encourage filtering and promote "making steady progress"
Really enjoying your videos Freddie. I’m not a biker but you are making me consider taking it up. Just learning all the bike makes and models. I love the Bonnevilles, which model is this one?
Been to that there Lundun twice , don't think I need to come back tbh ! Come to Yorkshire and I'll teach you how to get into 3rd. 😂 . .Attention all snowflakes this was banter ! Just take the saddle off your high horse ! 🐴 x
I didn't know that street in London so small like here in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. Traffic there could be a nightmare if they got population and living style like my place. I don't like the mindset of using car inner city with small and unstraight streets and people in my place are crazy about owning a car with a dirty mindset of road usage :(
You managed to make a commuting/traffic filtering trip interesting even to someone like me, who rides in heavy traffic everyday.
I must say you are a respectful rider, and drivers appear to be less crazy than in Italy.
Really glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
The London car drivers are quite accommodating towards motorbikers, so it works quite well🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you split lanes!
Thanks Rick, I love lane splitting!
Coffee.....city scapes......bikes(Triumph) and enthusiasm. Winning combo for me! Love your videos Freddie ⭐️🤘🏼

I used to commute into London but after a while it killed the thrill of biking for me. Went back to the train and biked at weekends. Totally get what you're saying though, the convenience is unbeatable. Another reason I stopped was after watching a colleagues Harley V-Rod being lifted into the back of a van. They used scaffold poles and it was done in seconds. I was in a high-rise stairwell, so couldn't do a thing!
Nooooo way!! I just assumed Harleys would be too heavy to even consider!
Very entertaining, thanks. Never driven a car or motorcycle in London, despite living just 40 miles away. The idea just scares me!
Thank you Mark! Driving a car in London is hellish- it's got so bad I won't drive in any more than zone 4. Biking quite fun in a strange way though (although a lot of people wouldn't agree with me on that!😆)
That’s how to ride a motorcycle around London! Seriously interested in investing in those panniers. Great showcase for some of the London attractions.
Thanks very much Mark!🙂. I highly recommend the panniers- absolute gear for life!
I love all your gear! I just wish a lot of these companies shipped to the US. Keep up the great videos!
I love these combined bike+travel videos.

1:43 you say tiny profile but they seem to stick out 10+ inches? Is it just the camera angle?
If I can only afford one set of panniers would you suggest the big black ones over the heritage ones?

can someone explain the zigzag lines in the middle of the road?
I heard you can't filter or overtake?
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Excellent video Mr. Dobbs. Can you tell me what video editing software you use for your videos? I really liked the item names popups.
