    I’d like to thank you for taking us along on the journey Dave. The channel has evolved massively from those early days. Your preparation , determination, character and Yorkshire delivery (With a little help from the glorious back garden you have to ride around in ) make your channel unique. It doesn’t need much of a change in formula. Just keep polishing mate. All the very best to yourself, J & E. Catch up with you soon bud.

    What drew me to your channel was the beautiful scenery and your straight talking, no nonsense style, and long may it continue. If you could add a little more detail of where you are riding ( i.e., flash a road map on the screen), that would help me plan a route. I don't generally watch bike review channels unless I'm in the market for a new machine, but as your taste in motorcycles is similar to mine, I do find your reviews interesting. Product reviews are also useful if the item is useful rather than a gimmick or just bling!

    Primarily I enjoy your verbal ramblings and home spun philosophies with the backdrop of beautiful Yorkshire countryside; mostly conducted on or about great motorcycles.
    I enjoy your ponderings over the woes of the world juxtaposed with the drama of weather and countryside.
    I read one of the comments which described your linguistic ability as that of a 'wordsmith'. I concur fully.
    Thank you Dave for the joy, wit and wisdom that bring into our lives with your blogging. Your call to kindness is a rallying call in these troubling times.
    God bless and seasons greetings from NL.

    I thought one of the best videos you've done was probably the most personal one. You were remembering your old dad and why you couldn't get there in time. I thought that vid was just so personal and really brings home the message that even when things are tough don't forget family.
    Wishing you a very happy Xmas and New year and looking forward to more videos in the new year. Take care. Best wishes.

    For my money Dave, I love the ride outs and a bit of a yarn, especially enjoy the scenery as an ex pat. I think that a bit of drone footage wouldn't go amiss particularly over places of significant interest. Congratulations on the channel growth; you're certainly doing something right. All the best.

    Dave what a good reflection on the journey that you have taken us all on.
    It’s also very helpful to explain in simple terms what new products are out there and how you have gotten to grips with them! Links to the purchase of same and discount code also a bonus.
    I think motorcycles have become a luxury in many ways. The ride outs I go on with various groups and buddies are mostly ages 60 plus retired and had bikes back in the day as transportation.
    Main issue as I see it is the cost to obtain a license and our recent weather!
    Folks in general have other more important ways to spend their hard earned taxed to hell monies.
    Dealers have to comply with so much crap from the big corporate brands plus the rise in Rents, wages, running cost etc. little wonder they are closing!
    I love the Yorkshire landscape and perhaps a short summary of the routes , highlights of the trip and a good recommendation for Coffee, grub etc would aid to the viewing.
    Keep up what you are doing and have a Happy New Year!
    Regards
    John

    I really enjoy your channel. It makes me wistful for the days when I lived in Harrogate with the dales on my doorstep. Many of the roads you ride I know personally. I now live nearer the east coast so the moors are my playground. I like your down to earth and honest opinions on the bikes you test and the state of the bike industry, especially the over priced main brands and how the up and coming brands are chasing them. Your channel doesn't need a thing changing for me. Merry Christmas.

    Nice clear video. I have no idea if there are benefits from a de-cat pipe other than the loss of a bit of weight. Crash bungs do not work other than a static or very low speed tip over. I fully agree that you should refit the OE exhaust and keep the dresser bars while you take time to assess the options that might be available. Best wishes for the festive season and the New Year.

Your content is a bit different than that of some other providers and in my mind, variety is the spice of life. You would be hard pressed to produce any content that I wouldn't find enjoyable. Do what ever brings you enjoyment and our enjoyment will follow.

    Well done Dave for growing the channel so much, we know how hard it is, frustrating but also highly rewarding. I tried a drone and to be honest it was such a pain, my experience sitting on a windy hillside trying to sync it to the phone which it often refused and then swearing when I crashed it into a tree. It was a gift that I eventually sold. For me it had a GoPro feeling to it, excellent when it worked. Anyway I'll be enjoying your channel in 2025 so thanks for a good year! Sean

    Always enjoy my morning ride across the moors Dave. So thanks for taking me along. Even watch some of your reviews, although I'm no longer in the market to buy a new Bike ...after 63 years my Motorcycling journey is reaching its end, swopping and changing anyway ...Feels very much like my 2014 Street Triple 675 will be my Swan Song....l will keep riding the Triumph until l can no long ''get me leg over''....
    The tech now available is mind boggling, although l did say in an earlier Video there is a danger of 'cluttering ' up the bike with too much technology, to my mind anyway..... Over here in Spain my local Moto Guzzi dealer has gone, l suspect the KTM will follow shortly...its pretty depressing, or would be, if not for my local Alicante Royal Enfield dealer seemingly going from strength to strength, plus a few second hand dealers surviving the crisis....A massive one in Alicante is always packed with bikes and prospective customers.....Perhaps they will be the ones who survive. ...Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano Nuevo

    Hi Dave been watching you for a long time now and love your channel. Please could you do a stream covering the mopeds from the 70s like the Honda SS50 and FS1Es . Most of us would have started out our biking lives . The value of these bikes have gone crazy 5k for a Yamaha FS1E the same for the Suzuki AP50 . To many streamers only show the basics and don't really cover the bikes in detail. I am above the age of 64 now and love the old mopeds as so many of us do. 👍👍👍

    Definitely, definitely add some follow me drone footage to the rider POV footage as this can only enhance the immersive experience. Slight correction on the Aoocci functionality, my preferred nav app is Calimoto and they don't support AA, so I'm restricted to Google Maps and still have to mount my phone too. Same goes for Spotify though that's less vital for me. Still well worth the punt for dash cams and TPMS.

      @thebingleywheeler that's an odd inconsistency. I've got the C6Pro ... no remote with this version. AA brings up a selection of supported apps, Spotify isn't one of them. Something to iron out perhaps.

Back in the Gold Coast Australia and having six bikes to ride including a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2024 based on your review, I find the opposite weather ie to hot, holds me back. I would appreciate if you could give more commentary on where you are when riding

    Just want to pick your mind if i may Dave.
    Im about to pull the trigger on a bike in your neck of the woods ( Cobb and Jagger - Shipley)
    3 yr old bike, 3 previous owners ( 2,000 miles) but only offering a 12 week warranty with no option to buy an extended one)
    It looks excellent but the limited warranty is bothering me as it involves a lot of money ( its enough to but a new Voge 900 or MT 800 outright)
    Do you have any history with these people, any insight on them?)

    good afternoon, Wheeler of Bingley, as always I enjoyed this vid. As a foreigner i would like to make a suggestion about te content, as requested bij you. Everytime I watch your vids I am tempted to spend a motorcycle holliday in your territory. I was wondering if it is possible for you to now and then park the bike and have a stroll around some villages.
    Every now and then i,ve seen you passing through some places that look quite charming, and i would like to see a bit more of them, and maybe hear you commenting/recommending about the place.
    Sort of like a holliday program as you can see on TV, but not that extensive, and without bikinigirls running through te dales, that would definitely be to much to ask for. I guess?
    Now i will not go as far as asking to review the local Chippie, B & B , and the local Pub ( however, for that I would be willing to make an exception) but hey, perhaps ??
    Realizing that this is a cheeky request, asking a motorcyclist to do some walking, i hereby directly apologize if I have scared the s..... out of you.

    Regarding de-cat pipes. From the Gov.uk website.The law
    Under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulations 61(7) and 61A(3)) and the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Section 42) it is an offence to use on a road a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet.
    The potential penalties are £1,000 for a car and £2,500 for a van, lorry or bus.
    Under the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Section 75) it is an offence to alter a vehicle in such a way that the use of the vehicle on a road would be unlawful. A person altering the vehicle (if they knew or believed that the vehicle would be used on the road) could be found guilty of an offence under the Act.
    Potential penalties are unlimited fines.
