Really enjoy all your videos, 44teeth and BVG, but I prefer this type of vlog format (more in the vein of classic BVG ride&rant) to the track/review videos. Hugely entertaining, keep up the great work, gents!
On a new bike you're a passenger, on an old bike you're a survivor, much more involving and enjoyable. Between my gsxr1000r and my gsx1100 classic race bike, I still get massive grin factor from the oldun! Enjoy your time guys.
Just tuned in yesterday to you epic lads, enjoying every second of your content! Watched 3 seasons of BBB last night😅 Keep up the great work, you’re enlighting bikers days everywhere👌🏻
I had a 2010 VFR1200F and it was the most soul-less motorcycle I ever rode. Then I see you guys do a video on what Ariel did with the same foundation and like you guys I was wondering "Why can't Honda do that?". Honda doesn't make motorcycles anymore, they make 2 wheeled appliances. They will never go wrong, but you don't fall in love with your kitchen appliances.
Baron Von Grumble is back!!! Top quality moaning guys. Love it. Agree with everything completely. My mate got 3 points from measured white lines on a road.
That was a very enjoyable VanVlog. Its nice to go off tangent and not talk about motorcycles all the time. I always love it when they do that on my favourite podcasts. Good work 44teeth! This went very well with my steak and wine. Yum!
Modern bikes with all the gizmos are too expensive when they sit in the garage 90% of the time. Switchable abs and traction plus slipper clutch is enough. Rain mode, wtf, most riders dont go out in the rain and those that do know to ease off...
We've all known for years that buying a modern bike is a fantastic platform to start modding from. Treat it to a few goodies in the areas where manufacturers had to compromise (catalytic converters, silencers, emissions equipment, servo eliminators, suspension, fuel mapping, some weight saving) and it will make a good bike great. Mods add so much emotional value to a bike. Whatever comes out stock nowadays, just needs a little work to really shine. Motorcycles have gotten extremely refined and entertaining in the last two decades, bogged down by a few bits that aren't too much a hassle to remove.
Loved the video and the random topics, not everything has to be about bikes. Sounds very much like what me and my friends talk about while on a road trip or doing something together... -Ooh, that outro line from Chris was just absolutely fantastic...
Great vid guys, please do more like these. Chris, your dead right about the noisy 5%, the rest of us need to stand up before it's too late and the lunatics are running the asylum.
28:04 Come on Chris. Be careful waving credit cards around on screen. Might not be a bad idea to use youtube editing feature and bluring those out just to be on the safe side.
10:09 I had to pause and comment because I could not agree more. I have an 01 GSXR 750 and a 19 Hayabusa. The gixxer is awesome fun around the twisties but a little twitchy, like just enough to make you feel like you are doing something exciting and could come off any time even though you most likely won’t. This current model Hayabusa is so planted and awesome that it doesn’t even get unsettled until you are doing warp speeds. Your comment about the S1000 Chris and modern bikes in general to me feels spot on and I am glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. Anyway, back to the vid...
Hi guys, the very first paragraph of the police Road Craft manual states that......excessive speed in itself is not dangerous, but it’s the ability of the person speeding that will be called into question, the Road Craft manual is the bible by which all police drivers are trained to by completing their six week driving course. I completed the Ambulance Service’s version of it as a two week course and we used the Police Road Craft manual as well.
Love your motorcycle videos, but really you guys could just sit in a van driving places, chatting. Absolutely hilarious and way more entertaining than high budget shows like Grand Tour.
916, the game changer. Yep, before the 916, getting out on the road meant riding the bike on the road , not stuffing it in a van and driving it somewhere because it needs refuelling more frequently than the rider needs to stop to uncontort their body from the hideously cramped riding position.
I'm so, so with you guys on the old bikes vs new bikes topic (and all the other topics as well...) The new bikes feels like a videogame with all their gizmo and gadgets and they ride to smooth and to fast to road-use. I personally got a Aprilia RSV1000R Factory (2008) and a Kawasaki ZX7R (1998).
Spiffy Jeans! I had pair of Spliffies and Stussy's I bought from a shop down Bath Place in Taunton near Krackers! it's now a barbers I think. It reminds me of my Dance Planet cassettes. We used to go to the roller disco's in Yeovil ....there was this kid who used to think he was the mutts nuts going round backwards 🤣🤣🤣.
[sarcasm] It’s great to see the effort and money the police spent on Joe’s case! Goes nicely in hand with the met police’s own video I saw the other day where a lad stole a moped, raced through London (evading the police) then dumped the bike, they gave chase & he threw a knife (which was a 2ft long combat knife btw) they caught him and he got... a community order and a £100 fine. Don’t even get me started on the 2 times I’ve been robbed and had zero police help/assistance. Best I got was a police call centre and a week of waiting before I was told they weren’t willing to look into it despite a description & the twat using my card all over London where he’d have been on cctv everywhere.
To play devil's advocate, in the case of the moped thief, the Police did their bit and caught the guy. What he got after that is up to the courts, not the Police. But yeah, the whole system is a bit broken...
Errr. actually (from a physics and cognitive point of view) speed in fact does kill more effectively than any other factor in an accident. Accidents will happen regardless, but excessive speed makes things worse in 2 major ways. 1) Humans don't have a speed radar built in, so with (usually quite quick) head check , there is no way to tell if a driver is doing (for example) 150% or more of the normal speed for that particular road - he/she expects that you are doing the speed everyone should be doing on that road and acts accordingly (we can can only judge speeds we are used to), and 2) speed is BY FAR the biggest determining factor in the energy released in a collision ...remember E=MC^2? well basically Kinetic energy (released) = 0.5M(mass) x V(velocity)^2 ..ie., double the speed and you quadruple the energy released on impact. Keep racing for the track - people's right to be safe far outweighs an individual's right to compensate for their small appendage size. PLUS .. as always, it's numb-nutted idiotic few that ruin it for everyone else ..10% over has always been sacred safe ground, but it's the idiots who do 2 or 3 times the limit that cause the law makers to clamp down on EVERYONE ...in VIC (AU) they now give 3km over the limit before issuing tickets.
..and they spent all that money so that anyone else thinks twice about speeding in their vlog/youtube channel ...now you're both saying you won't do it anymore ..so it worked - money well spent - and I for one think this is EXACTLY how public money should be spent - for the well being and safety of the GENERAL public. PLUS... you've just spread the message to 173K subscribers ...👍
Love this... 'Joy is the greatest measure of success' sadly most businesses seem to do there best to suck all the joy out of what you do ...most of the time for the personal gain or ego of a few ..... Love the channel
The banter, opinions, bullshit and fucketry is what I watch you guys for (&bikes😊) The launch (bikes/tyres etc) stuff was getting abit meh after the many many of them but this is what 44teeth is the best at😁
+1 to salted butter :). Deja vu to me is simply the your real-time reality stream of your brain taking the stream from your memory side of your brain for a few seconds, making it feel like it has happened when it is really just a delayed perception of reality. Have you noticed how you always feel like you know what's going to happen but you can't actually accurately predict it?
Good conversation, I quite enjoy trashing my 2015 Triumph Street Triple ABS neck each day commuting rather than caring for a nice classy 'big new bike' or a high performance bike etc. they are fine etc, but it is horses for courses and as a commuter it needs to be trashed not polished. If I got a sports one it would be the old classic rather than new £15K one. I am sure if I ever did a track day the 20165 675 ABS model would not perform that bad either. Great vid guys, keep it up.
"Involvement" is what any good relationship is about, else it's an expensive one-night stand. I feel the same way about my '03 Daytona (well, I have too, as I can not afford another eye-catcher -- 9,300 miles when I bought, a few months back!)
I moved to Aus in 2012. Trust me stop whining, UK is heaven to ride compared to Aus. I landed 5 speeding tickets one month after buying a little 250 and slowing right down after advice from peers but still got 5 tickets. They hide all of their cams in bushes, and they are everywhere and all mobile with zero signage. Cops are actively out only looking to catch people that speed, does not matter if 5km/h over they will fine you, zero discretion!. It is horrendous in Aus. I now ensure I come back to the UK/Europe every year just to get my riding fix in. I leave my R1 and TL in Italy and ride through Europe/UK.
Watching you two is like looking at modern art; love it / tilts the head. I suspect that some of the schoolboy laddish stuff is intentional as that appeals to your target audience, which I'm probably, admittedly, now on the fringe in my mid 40s.. However, I am a biker, owning from S1000RR, 7X-7R to ST1100, VFR800Fi and many in-between, so understand the score. Although competent on road and mid group on a track day, I know my limits - love and appreciate your skill on track - but would ask you reconsider your influence; the stuff about speed not killing I don't agree with. It definitely does contribute: other people on the road - (bell-ends etc. as you refer to them) often innocently miss motorbikes and this is especially true when bikers are riding 'quickly'. On the same point, whilst you are both obviously very capable and skilled riders, others that maybe influenced by you who aren't so much.. whilst I think you're wise enough to not show video of this kind, some of your comments can be as influential in setting people's mindset when they put their lids on.
When I go carp fishing in South France, can't wait to indulge in some french bread loads of butter ham and cheese. Rude not too. Also buy 1 get one free cheap as chips wine, which is actually very nice for less than 5 euro. Like a bargain 👍👍👍👊👊👊 .
Loved that gents, great fun, and cheers for the mention 👍👏
“I respect women but right now...” Chris you absolute legend. Actually spat some tea out 🤣🤣🤣
thelifeofmikey yes, that come out of nowhere😂
Great video again guys and big thanks for the mention, mad world we live in 🤷♂️😒
Really enjoy all your videos, 44teeth and BVG, but I prefer this type of vlog format (more in the vein of classic BVG ride&rant) to the track/review videos. Hugely entertaining, keep up the great work, gents!
“Testicles” and “bollocks” 10 seconds in. Yup, it’s a 44 teeth video. Take my LIKE!
Edit: Bollocks typo lol
Bollocks
Brian Frichette please forgive my American ignorance and trying to spell phonetically
On a new bike you're a passenger, on an old bike you're a survivor, much more involving and enjoyable.
Between my gsxr1000r and my gsx1100 classic race bike, I still get massive grin factor from the oldun!
Enjoy your time guys.
That brightened up my Wednesday evening, thank you gents.
Love you guys !!
Between greed and the Pussification of mankind we’re all doomed.

Maybe the spin dryer.
What is more amazing is that you bought that bike!!!! the VFR as a great bike ended with the VFR 800.
Baron Von Grumble is back!!! Top quality moaning guys. Love it. Agree with everything completely.
My mate got 3 points from measured white lines on a road.
this is a brilliant concept. pleeeeeze can we see more of your van roadtrips/rants.
it's like we are all taking a road trip.
haha
Loving the video lads. I'd love to see a Superduke 1290R vs Streetfighter V4 battle at Jerez if you ever got the chance. Cheers guys.
Love it lads, never enough 44 Teeth videos but I understand there’s limitations!
Im from Sweden (left hand drive). Spent a long time trying to figure out who’s drivning.
Love the VanVlogs. Picked up a t-shirt to support you guys, and can't wait for the next budget bike battle video!
That was a very enjoyable VanVlog. Its nice to go off tangent and not talk about motorcycles all the time. I always love it when they do that on my favourite podcasts. Good work 44teeth! This went very well with my steak and wine. Yum!
Modern bikes with all the gizmos are too expensive when they sit in the garage 90% of the time. Switchable abs and traction plus slipper clutch is enough. Rain mode, wtf, most riders dont go out in the rain and those that do know to ease off...
We've all known for years that buying a modern bike is a fantastic platform to start modding from. Treat it to a few goodies in the areas where manufacturers had to compromise (catalytic converters, silencers, emissions equipment, servo eliminators, suspension, fuel mapping, some weight saving) and it will make a good bike great. Mods add so much emotional value to a bike. Whatever comes out stock nowadays, just needs a little work to really shine. Motorcycles have gotten extremely refined and entertaining in the last two decades, bogged down by a few bits that aren't too much a hassle to remove.
These are a couple of dudes I could spend a couple hours in a van rating with. Makes me miss road trips with friends.
Loved this. Started off very lighthearted then got a bit serious! Very entertaining.
Loved the video and the random topics, not everything has to be about bikes. Sounds very much like what me and my friends talk about while on a road trip or doing something together... -Ooh, that outro line from Chris was just absolutely fantastic...
Statham and Giroud road trip..
Great vid guys, please do more like these. Chris, your dead right about the noisy 5%, the rest of us need to stand up before it's too late and the lunatics are running the asylum.
28:04 Come on Chris. Be careful waving credit cards around on screen.
Might not be a bad idea to use youtube editing feature and bluring those out just to be on the safe side.
Can't wait for the return journey!! Epic
really enjoy this type of video, nice one guys
Funny how 2 blokes in a van ranting can be so addictive to watch, with me saying ‘fuck yeh’ in agreement 😂
10:09 I had to pause and comment because I could not agree more. I have an 01 GSXR 750 and a 19 Hayabusa. The gixxer is awesome fun around the twisties but a little twitchy, like just enough to make you feel like you are doing something exciting and could come off any time even though you most likely won’t.

Your comment about the S1000 Chris and modern bikes in general to me feels spot on and I am glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. Anyway, back to the vid...
You should do a podcast
Brilliant stuff guys as usual and fully agree there are bigger things in the world than a blurred speedo.
This was excellent and quite moving. Thank you!
there was quite a realty check...be careful what you wish for...great video!
You guys chatting about work and life/lack of community etc etc reflects what we all think!.
That was absolutely bang on!
Absolutely agree!! The world needs to sort itself drastically! Now!! Great video!🍻
Love your rants! Your opinions are shared by so many! Loved the teapot one mention it is complete bollocks what they are doing to him

I'm pretty sure CAVES here in Yeovil has just closed down a few weeks ago.
Best vlog in ages. More please !!
I don’t own a motorbike license but I absolutely love watching your videos don’t stop absolutely amazing and make me laugh

We used to go to the roller disco's in Yeovil ....there was this kid who used to think he was the mutts nuts going round backwards 🤣🤣🤣.
You boys aren't wrong.
even after 37 mins, i wanted it to continue. loved it
I thought I was the only person who shopped in Caves - great shop for poncho’s and bongs! Did you also frequent Gardens Al?
[sarcasm] It’s great to see the effort and money the police spent on Joe’s case!

That last line Chris, epic 🙏 you guys rock keep up the good work chaps 🐸🦵
The first ten seconds is just pure 44T.
Gents,
I really like the look of Fagan’s hoodie. Will this style ever be going on sale again?
Can we get some more of these? Road trip to the next cinema showing.
The banter, opinions, bullshit and fucketry is what I watch you guys for (&bikes😊)
The launch (bikes/tyres etc) stuff was getting abit meh after the many many of them but this is what 44teeth is the best at😁
Nice to hear Crewkerne get a shout out, top notch video as always 👍👍
Cheers boys , hoodie purchased !!
"Do you remember that?" lmfao, savage
Chris: we need something big to stop people caring about the little things.
Coronavirus: wants to know your location
Bloody awesome, and can so relate to the close out! :D
"We need bigger things to worry about"...2020/2021...you got it.
Where’s BBB?!
Decent ramblings!

I wonder if you will have to get new batteries every time you want to ride the new ones!!!!
The looks of the Z H2 are growing on me. Like elephantitis.
Like an uncircumcised wanger with leprosy
@@BrianFrichette Well, that's a graphic mental image. I was thinking more of a Z900 with elephantitis of the "neck"/"face".

But it is, at least when it comes to their salads !
Your bang on as usual. Keep up the good work. 👍😉
Z H2 - what a munter! Looks like Kawasaki commissioned Hans Ruedi Giger to design it! Proper made me jump back when I saw it!

That is the best ending to any UA-cam video ever 👌🏻
The Only Time I Rant in a Van is When I've been Kept Waiting for the Next Episode of 'Budget Bike Battle 4'!! Lol.
Ever considered moving to Spain lol,you guys visit the circuits here more than i do and i live here
They say Hollywood marriages don’t last very long. These two are the exception👍🏻
Loving the van vlog...faf ...keep up the good work
Chris: We need bigger things to worry about to get rid of the little stupid shit
2020: Hold my beer
Hell yeah man! Love 44teeth..one of the only channels i keep up with when im not busy making content 😂😂
When I go carp fishing in South France, can't wait to indulge in some french bread loads of butter ham and cheese. Rude not too. Also buy 1 get one free cheap as chips wine, which is actually very nice for less than 5 euro. Like a bargain 👍👍👍👊👊👊 .
I had a shop in Yeovil!

@2.28 93 kms from Bordeaux, that would be a bit past my house !
Oy! Lads! We need them hoodies back in merch! Re-stock and take my money.
Guys . Come to riyhad Saudi Arabia. Check out al Reemr international circuit.
And soon lagoonamotorpark
Haha the commentary between you both is so entertaining lol You guys should start a podcast! It would be awesome 👏
