First Motorcycle Ride Of The Year On A Triumph Bonneville T120 - Winter Ride
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 січ 2024
- Finally, a short break in the near constant rain meant I could wheel out the Triumph Bonneville T120 for a winter motorcycle ride.
Staying close to home for my first adventure of the year, I rode over to Ladybower and Upper Derwent Reservoirs. The scenic route along the edge of the water is a great ride any time of the year and even though the weather wasn't completely dry, it was a worthwhile trip just for the views.
In this video you might notice I'm talking a little more than usual. One of my plans for this year are to do a set of videos that are more documentary style, so in order to do that I'm going to create a bunch of smaller 'practice' videos, where I'll be talking a little bit about where I am and any interesting history. So please bear with me, I'm trying something new and I'll hopefully get better at it the more I do.
If you enjoyed this short film, I hope that you'll consider leaving a like on the video or subscribing to the channel. Your Like or Subscription lets UA-cam know that you've enjoyed my video, which in turn helps push the video out to more people, it's one of the most genuine ways to support the channel and it costs nothing at all.
Or, if you feel like my mini films are worth £1 of your money, then it would be a huge help if you would consider actively supporting the channel by becoming a Channel Member. Being a member means you'll get access to a little extra content, such as honest gear reviews and the odd behind the scenes video too. But mainly it's a way of supporting the channel and helping me make more of the videos like this one.
Finally, if you'd like more information on the channel, the bike or my travels, please feel free to hop over to my website where you can find articles, photos and journals on everything Classic Rides.

I really enjoy the format of your videos. I'm in the States and your videos are very "British immersive" so it's a bonus to get some history as well. Thank you for taking the time to make them. They are quite well done.
Thanks very much, glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos (also glad to hear that you liked the very brief history bit 🙂).
i"m from the UK but live in the States also. Miss the History & countryside thanks for sharing both.
Thank you Matt ...great to watch again in 2024
I'll always stick with your channel. No aggressive swearing or showing off. Just great footage, music, and a top motorcycle 😊
Thanks Mark, nice of you to say 🙂
I ride an 865cc Bonneville in Brasil since 2014, back and dirt roads, some campsites, simply love the bike and your videos, God bless us all.
Thanks, thats nice to hear. Glad you’re getting good use out of your Bonnie 👍
Hola Matt, excelente video como siempre. Te quería comentar que gracias a tus videos y después de mucho esfuerzo y esperar un tiempo con mucha paciencia, tengo mi Bonneville T120 😅. Así que muchas gracias por tus videos y experiencias que me ayudaron a definirme por esta marca de Motocicleta. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱.
Hi Danny, so glad to hear I’ve been part of your decision to buy a T120. I’m sure you’re going to love it!
What a wonderful video. Beautiful scenery, great music choice, nice balance of talking and taking us along on the ride. Really lovely :)
Thanks, so glad you liked it 🙏
I really appreciate what you do with your videos along with the narration and history details of where you visit. Your landscape is amazing and much different from here in L.A. Here I ride to get away from the highway traffic and tend to go towards the mountains and along the Pacific Coast Highway. Cheers! :)
The Pacific Coast Highway sounds like a great place to have on your doorstep! 👍
Don't think I've ever seen so little traffic on the snake pass, live in France now but used to ride these roads all the time, brings back some happy memories.
It didn’t stay clear for long, I caught up with the cars in front pretty quick 😁
Hey Matt! Great video. As always some lovely cinemaphotography (is that a word?) but you got the music just spot on and that just lifted the whole viewing experience! Nice one. All the best. Simon.
Thanks Simon!
January 13th, 2024: I'm glad you're able to ride in this time of year. Unfortunately, here in Western New York, I'm probably about 2 months from getting my bike back on the road (due to the wonderful weather here). I enjoyed your video. Please ride safe.
We’ve had terrible weather these past two months, swaying from constant rain to below freezing, was lucking to get a few dry-ish days but we’re forecast snow next week. Roll on Spring I say!
Glad to see you out and about. A new Gerbings, how great, Mine is 40 years old this year. Old style sleeved jacket liner. Old style on/off switch gear, Simple. Still works. It always felt good to pull to a stop and have steam rizing from my collar. Pretty damn nice. Good ride. Beautiful place. This time of year take what you can get. It has been pretty good here in Kentucky but a couple weeks of winter is coming. Single digits, little snow, heavy frost everyday. Makes for some sketchy riding. Have a good one Matt. Another quality vid. The talking was good. Not some craziness going on but to the point. Next time.
Thanks Sam. 40 years and still working is a great advert for Gerbing, my new stuff seems pretty well made, 40 years might be asking a bit much of it though 😁
Beautiful! Worth the wait 😊
Thanks Chris 👊
I enjoyed the commentary along with the visuals. I also like the ones without speech as well, so make what you like. It'll probably be good. By the way, I'm envious of the scenery in your neck of the woods. Living in North central Texas, we don't have much at all that looks like this.
Glad to hear you liked the video. I think most of my videos will still be without any narration, just occasionally if I’m going somewhere particularly interesting or a longer trip I might do a spot of talking 🙂
Great ride out as usual Matt, big thanks.. Harleys still in wraps.. Lol. 😎🇬🇧
You're welcome Peter!
nice to meet you.
In Japan, it has become popular to boil water and brew coffee or eat instant noodles using simple outdoor equipment in scenic locations.
This is called "coffee touring" or "ramen touring".
*Of course, this is a place where the use of fire is not restricted.
Hi 👋 yes I very much like the Japanese coffee touring pastime, it’s a great way to enjoying motorcycling and the outdoors.
It’s a shame that here in the UK open fires are not allowed almost everywhere. But we can still tour and make nice food and drinks in our own way.
Hey Matt , beautiful videos for this New Year . Thank you .
Thanks Fran! 🙏🏻
You adding in some context by speaking makes the video so much more interesting 👍
Thanks, glad you think so 🙂
Beautifully put-together video - thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙏
Really enjoyed this one matt thanks for braving the cold
Nice to know where you are so like the idea of a tad more talk I know you realise we all like your films because they are different to the madding crowd
So really looking forward to more
Thanks Ian, I'm no teapotone but hopefully getting a bit better at this talking on camera lark 😁
Great filming. Loved every moment of it.
Thanks, glad you did 🙂
I've been looking forward to your first video of the year, and it didn't disappoint. Thanks Matt
Thanks Martyn, hopefully the weather stays dry so I can get some more filmed!
QUALITY ..as always , Thanks for sharing !!!!
Thanks Andrew, glad you liked it 👊
Thanks for sharing your stuff. This channel is always such a pleasurable watch. 👌🏻
Thanks, glad you think so 🙂
I enjoy watching your videos.
I'm happy to hear that you do 🙂
Welcome back 😁
Thank you 🙏
Really like the new format, great idea
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙂
Great video, sir!!! Great cinematography..❤❤❤
Thank you, glad you liked it 👊
Brilliant video again thanks really nice roads 👍
They’re even better when it’s not freezing 🥶
Great video Matt, I really like to hear a bit of history about the place you've stopped at. More please. I also like the shots of you riding towards and away from the camera. Top work.
Thanks, I’ll try to do more of this year 🤞
Nice. Thanks and Good Luck!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for that, I enjoyed the history lesson. Beautiful area.
You’re welcome Edward, I actually filmed more about the Dambusters but didn’t have my mic turned on 🤦🏻♂️
Beautiful visuals, brief discussion of the history, excellent music selection, ( I played along)
Glad you liked it Terry!
An utterly beautiful video, once again. The story telling and quality of your videography is superb!
Thanks very much, glad you think so 🙏
You keep hitting it out of the park Matt, great video and I really liked the voice over, really well put together, again. 👊
Thanks Jer, very nice of you say!
Beautifully shot and wonderful story 🫶 Love it mate!
Cheers buddy! 👊🏻
OOOooo to much salt on our roads to tempt me out on my T100....your a brave man on such a stunning bike.
It’s my fourth winter and it’s not dissolved yet 😁
Hi classic rides, great vid and well filmed and great ride for the first time this year thanks
Thanks Paul, it was a little cold but worth getting out 🥶
A great start to the year with a new video format Matt, the voice over volume it's on point, together with the soundtrack and the engine noise, truly awesome combination!! Great choice of music too, as usual, well done you! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks that’s great to hear, working on getting the audio in the right direction has been a war of attrition, getting there I think though 😁
Wonderful footage as usual Matt! I appreciate that you have added a bit of narration to this video. We are currently under a foot of snow here in Chicago, so it’s nice to be able to ride vicariously through you. Cheers!
I think we’re having our snow next week 🫣
I like this style, good balance of narration with great video/ photography. It’s a bit early for me in Scotland. I think temperature was around -5 last night but can’t wait to get out
Thanks Mike, glad to hear you liked the form of video. We've had about -5 here too, getting to -7 tonight I believe. Spring can't come soon enough!
Hi Matt
Love that video absolutely beautiful scenery and perfect for biking
Makes me want to go out on one so lovely really is!
Love the history chat 💬 adds that extra
Perfect and bike looks ace
All the best look forward to the next
Phil Green
Thanks Phil, I hope you get some decent weather your way to go for a ride!
Bonus footage was a nice addition
Thanks, glad you liked it 👍
Always loved your videos but I think with a bit of chat it just takes it up a level. Superb 🏍️
Thanks Andrew, always feel like a bit of a plank talking on camera so glad to hear it’s not too bad 🙂
Tremendous first ride Matt, snakepass, ladybower, Mortimer Road, around there is just fantastic scenery and great rides 👍🏼
Thanks Steve, yes it’s a great spot for riding motorcycles, some of the very best roads 👌
Great Work ! Well Done ! I've got a T120 Ace, and yes i started to wacht all yours video before bought it!
Thanks Mario, that’s nice to hear! I hope you’re enjoying your T120 as much as do mine 👍
Estas hecho un profecionales como siempre, magníficas carreteras y estupenda moto que más queremos, haz empezado el año muy bien por cierto feliz año nuevo y que tengas muchas rutas amigo 😊
Thanks Paco, glad you liked the video. Happy New Year to you too 🍻
Excelent video, mate! Great views and interesting narration!
Thanks, glad you thought so 🙏
Great video - enjoying the new storytelling format . It's an improvement 👏
Thanks so much, glad you think so 🙏
Lovely........
Thanks Gary 🙏🏻
Your video conveys such a wonderful atmosphere; beautiful landscape, gorgeous bike and soothing music. Greetings from Berlin , Jim (snow and freezing temperatures here).
Thanks Jim, glad you liked it. Our snow and freezing temperatures has finally arrived with us today so looks like no more filming for me for at least the rest of this month.
Beautiful video. It's -35C for 3 days in Calgary...not a hope in hell for a winter ride. Good to see you folks in the UK can sneak out in the winter months like this. The bike, the production quality all first class. Thanks.
Thanks Ken, we’re getting our freezing weather from tomorrow so probably won’t be much chance to get out again for a while🥶
Excellent great video and you speaking as well where you are brilliant...
Thanks Barrie 🙏
Wishing you a very productive year in every aspect of the life. 🎉😊
Also your new video format suits you better and gives a better understanding of the beauty of our island. And helps the Americans understand also 😂 just kidding. Have a glorious week
Thanks Mark, I won’t be speaking in every video but occasionally it helps out overseas friends 😁
Hope you have a great 2024 too.
Good morning this is one of my favourite rides on Royal Enfield Himalayan very nice video thankyou.
Glad you liked it 👍
Nice ride.
Thanks 🙏
Just found your channel. Enjoying the content. Doing trips like this is exactly why I bought my T120 Aegean Blue Bonneville last weekend! 🍻
Glad to hear you're liking the videos, I hope you enjoy your T120 as much as I do mine!
@@ClassicRides so far I love it! Smooth riding bike. I have 325 miles to go for proper break-in. I’m eyeing those classy waxed panniers on your site ;)
@@twodogs257 They get so much better once they're run in properly. I'm hoping for a restock on the bags by the end of May, so keep your eyes peeled as they don't hang around long 😁
Ladybower brings back very good memories to me from riding all around there when I lived in North Staffordshire, beautiful part of the world. Have to agree with you Gerbing heated jacket and gloves make a huge difference to winter rides as I'm always warm and toasty however cold it gets down here in Snowdonia!
The heated gear is such a game changer, I’m always surprised by guys trying to look hard saying they’d never use it 😁
I wouldn’t be without a set of heated stuff for winter.
Absolutely right Matt.@@ClassicRides
Happy new year 😅
Thank you, happy new year to you too!
Great video Matt, I was there on my T120 today, not as quiet at the weekends and no access to Howden but great all the same😎👍
Still a great ride getting there no matter which direction you come from 👍
Pretty insane that you can get out riding now already 🙈 we got more snow again today, and it looks like it will continue for the next week also. Appreciate your new style. Great mix into the bag of already beautiful videos. Thank you for make in these. Love the bike shots with the dam towers 👏🏻🤌🏻 From 7 minute onwards is not for me! But keep up the great work Matt 🎥
We’ve had terrible weather to be honest, just one slightly ok day. We’re forecast snow ourselves next week, hopefully it won’t last long.
Not sure about the last bit either, probably won’t add that in again 😁
Your dog had the same look as mine does when he sees me getting ready to go out on the bike 😢. Enjoyed the vid and the commentary 👍
Haha, yes the guilt is hard to bear 😁 Think he gets sad as he knows there’ll be no snacks for a couple of hours.
Great video!
Thank you 🙏
@@ClassicRides i done my first ride to glossop last week, was absolutely frozen. Road towards holmfirth was very sketchy. Ride safe!
@@artistonamotorbike I bet it was! Hopefully warmer weather is just around the corner 🤞
Thanks Matt, you made us travel with you! with affection Francesco
Thanks Francesco, so glad you liked it 🙏
Good choice of location. The last time i was on the road alongside the reservoir was March 2019. The weather was outstanding and I had a glorious ride. Took some beautiful photos and it's one of those days i will never forget. Some secluded little pockets of England are just wonderful. And only an hour from home. Lucky us. 😊
Yeah it’s a great spot, almost feels like you shouldn’t be allowed to ride round there 🙂
@@ClassicRides like being in Scotland , but without the midges!
Hi Matt, great choice for your first video, I fancy doing Lady Bower/ Snake Pass this year. I enjoyed your last video of snake pass, nice to see you have the Bonnie back.
Thanks Les, if you do come up this way do let me know, I’ll join you for a cup of tea at the visitor centre ☕️
@@ClassicRides aah that’s great Matt, it would be nice to have a catch up.
It is really good when you talk. Chill out but informative. Very good, at least for me. I'm also really impressed how well it performs. Clear sign that I should switch to sth else than touring videos ;) Cheers
I love your touring videos, please don't stop them, they're a big part in what made me start this channel! And you saying that I should talk in my videos has stuck with me, so I'm trying it (although it took a while). I don't know why YT doesn't push your channel more to be honest, you deserve a much bigger audience.
@@ClassicRides I don't know if that's YT or simply there is not enough audience for that kind of cheesy humour ;) Anyway I need to rethink it really. Maybe it's worth to close that channel and reopen a new one. I really don't know
@@UncleLongbeard I wonder if maybe your titles are causing YT to "shadowban" your channel. A lot of your videos, particularly the ones where you're on tour, start with the same three or four words. Maybe the algorithm is seeing that as potential spam and hobbling your channel as a result. Might be worth going through your videos and changing the starting words to your titles and see what happens.
looks great:) something i have to do at some point
I very much recommend it 👍🏻
Hey Matt, the narration is really working for me. I think you've got the tone just right and the audio is great - warm, friendly but also a little understated. As others have noted, perhaps the extended POV footage in the second half is out of place with the rest of the video. I know there are folk out there who love that stuff, but it's not for me. By the way, there's a somewhat grim parallel that you might be interested in: the countryside around one of the main targets of the Dam Busters, the Möhnesee dam here in Germany, also has some lovely motorcycling roads.
Thanks Simon, yes I quite agree. I'm not 100% sure why I tacked it onto the end, maybe a lesson learned not to edit when very tired 😁.
I've heard that the Möhnesee dam is a great area to ride in, as is a lot of Germany. One day I'll get over there!
yes exactly. I have a Bonneville T120 Diamond Edition number 397 of 900. with 7200km and looks brand new, completely original. If you have interest you would be the perfect buyer which I would give my bike.
Thank you for the offer Giuseppe, but I'm afraid I already own a very nice T120 🙂
Beautiful; appreciate the background info on history. Lots of cleaning afterwards?
Yes a little bit, the bike’s covered in XCP which has an added benefit of making the muck easy to wash off 🙂
Really nice piece of filming and what a beautiful place to ride , I like your crash helmet and the panniers on the bike ?
Thanks Gary, glad you liked it.
The helmet is a Hedon Heroine Racer in the Macadamia colour, and the bags are my own , if you’d like more info on them you can find them at www.classic-rides.co.uk 🙂
First: Happy new year!
New Belstaff jacket? Looks like the Crosby. I sold it last year so I could buy the McGregor. I have been a Belstaff fan since 2003. Long before the Hipsters discovered the brand.
Thanks Raoul mate, happy new year to you too!
Yes it’s a new Crosby. I needed a larger jacket that would fit over a heated coat (my others fit great for summer, but a bit too tight with another jacket underneath)
Like you, I’m a bit of a fan of Belstaff. The McGregor’s a lovely looking jacket, I was very tempted to get one myself. But I got a really good deal on the Crosby so that’s what I went for. It’s nice, just feels like a less good version of the Tourmaster Pro I have. It’ll do for winter though!
Wonderful ride! But, 4 degrees is so cold~ lol.
Thanks Atsuki, it was a little cold but the heated jacket & gloves help a lot 🔥
Also love it up there. Great video thanks. Which tyres are you currently running on your T120? Cheers
They’re Avon Trailriders 👍
Excellent video!! Subscribed! If you ever come to North Wales...please feel free to ask for a guided bike tour! 😃👍👍👍 Happy to show you around and even help you get some footage.
Thanks Neil, glad you liked the video. I actually know North Wales pretty well as I have family there, but thanks for the guided tour offer!
Ah I think we saw you on Sunday riding up alongside Dovestones, we were the black Nissan that pulled over for you to pass!
Well thank you very much for moving over, I hope I waved 'thanks' on the way past 🫣
Great Matt!
I' wish you a happy new year and many good miles on the saddle of your bonnie!
I' love to see your horse and enjoy the landscape!😍
Where is it? It' s look like Wales...
Greeting from north germany,
"Sevenfifty"- Børni
Thanks Bernhard, happy new year to you too. The area is in Derbyshire, England, it’s in a national park zone called The Peak District 🙂
Great video.
Enjoyed the commentary on the legendary Dam Busters.
One quick question….
what luggage rack are you using?
Glad you liked it. The luggage rack is Triumph’s own, but it’s the version that comes with a back rest, I just took the back rest off 🙂
Great vid as always. I can’t help myself. . .is there ANY other way to attach that tank rack without the plastic suction cups? LOL. I can’t stop looking at them and thinking how off putting they are on such a beautiful classic! All in good fun, and assume you get it. Leather straps would be far busier, but I’m noodling on this. . .Again, great vid!
I felt the same way too when I first got it, but I’m not drilling my tank and I was reliably informed that suction cups weren’t unheard of on original Bonnie tank racks.
I don’t notice them now anyway 😁
Quite lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Rob, glad you liked it! 🙏
Matt, have you changed your exhaust? Sounds more burbly and lowe in pitch than before, perhaps a new microphone position?
Nice to hear your comments on where you are and a bit of historical background - keep them coming😊
It’s the same exhaust, just my never ending experiments in trying to capture decent exhaust audio, managed to record something that sounds a bit like my bike for once. Not quite there yet though!
Beautiful day trip! Your storytelling is amazing and inspiring.
How did your heated gear workout?
Thanks, glad you think so. The Gerbing gear was great, didn’t need to put anything on its hottest setting to keep nice and warm and it’s very comfortable. I’m planning on doing a proper review video soon, once I’ve used them a decent amount. 🙂
@@ClassicRides sounds good. It’s still cold and snowing here in Sweden. My first ride for the year has to wait. Even if I had heated gear the snow is stoping me 🫣🥶
@@LivetMedMCwell, Spring is just around the corner 🤞
Hi another great video thanks for posting, can I ask I’m putting a side fog light on my T120 also but was wondering how you wired it up thanks ?
I made my own wiring loom up, but it might be easier to just buy a generic auxiliary light loom from Amazon and alter it a bit. Personally I have the light running on it's own cables to the battery and then there's a handlebar mounted switch that takes a feed from the auxiliary power socket (under the tank), then that goes from the switch to a relay spliced into the light loom. That way the light can be switched on or off safely without being exposed to the full charge of the battery.
Brill thanks so much, the one Ive ordered has a high and low beam so was thinking along the lines you have.
Run a fused wire from the battery via a isolating switch to the relay then use the high beam signal to power the relay for high beam 😊
Will be in Devon in June this year ill look out for you
Cheers
Kev
Привет ) Отличный формат видео ) Большое удовольствие смотреть ) Подскажи, дополнительная фара на твоём мотоцикле справа светодиодная?
Thanks, actually it’s a standard incandescent bulb light 💡
Hi, great video, and a beautiful bike. I own a 21 plate T120 black. Would you mind telling me where you got those great looking spot lights from please. How easy are they to mount and power?? Kind regards.. Steve
Thanks Steve. I got the light from a breaker on eBay so I’m not sure what it’s come off, I think it may be a HD unit though. To mount it I needed to put crash bars on and then added a little bracket, both from eBay also. Then I just made up my own simple wiring loom for it. I’m not into auto electrics at all so if I can do it anyone can 👍
Lovely work! I’ve just taken delivery of my T120 and would love to know how you’ve perfectly centred your phone on the bars? I had a street triple before and just used a stem mount but the T120 doesn’t have that. Would love any advice. Thank you.
First thing is have bar risers, so the centre part of the bar is exposed (unlike with the stock brace). Then it’s just a quad lock mount put in the middle.
Nice one. Good to chat. How was your Gerbing heated jacket? I’ve recently bought a competing brand and been delighted with it. Just a long sleeve Marino base layer and then my Halvarssons Naren over the heated lightweight ultraflex . Very snug on medium setting in 4c. No need now for multiple layering which never completely kept my core warm anyway in temperatures close to 0c
It’s great, I had the ‘other’ brand last year but found the sleeves weirdly short & uncomfortable. This one fits perfect and has a remote control for the temp, which is actually super useful.
I love all your cinematics, did you use the go pro or the panoX for your chest POV takes? Thanks!
Hi Dominik, in this video it's the PanoX I used for the POV shots 🙂
Cracking vid as usual matey😁. Quick question…. How have you wired the auxiliary lamp?
Not a quick answer I’m afraid 😁.
It’s on its own wiring loom, so the light is wired straight to the battery, then there’s a small switch I got from Amazon which takes a feed from the auxiliary power line, that goes to a relay which then goes into the loom. That way I can operate the light safely.
I think you can buy general ready-made looms for auxiliary lights if you don’t want to make your own though 🙂
@@ClassicRides cheers mate, that’s given me some thought about fixing one to my wife’s T100
@@keithprentice2100 I’m no auto electrician so if I can do it, anyone can 👍
Enjoyed watching, I'm full of intention but no conviction maybe being from the south I'm not as hardy as you lads from the north 😏
Heated gear is your friend, I wouldn’t be out in this weather without it 🔥
HNY……..Nice vid, how did you manage to get that long shot both ways.
Thanks Walter, I’ve been experimenting with a 360 camera. There’ll be a video on coming quite soon 🙂
Those Vance&Hines mufflers sound wonderful ! Baffled or open ?
Thanks David, they're open. They're not very loud so even with the baffles out they're still well within legal limits, and they sound much better 🙂
A little talking would really enrich your videos. Just don't be shy. It shows a little more who is behind these great videos.
Finally I see someone for whom tea with milk is completely normal. I know in Britain it is normal, but here in Austria people drink tea without milk. I've been drinking it this way since I was a child. But when I order tea with milk in a restaurant here in vienna, I always get puzzled looks. :D
A funny story: I was on Lake Garda with my partner and ordered tea with milk for breakfast. We were served two glasses of milk with a tea bag. :D :D :D
Ah yes, I don’t understand drinking tea without milk, Europeans are weird! 😁
I got myself one of those chain oilers that you have, seems good so far 👌
@@ClassicRides the cobrra nemo II? oh - fine! where did you mount it?
@@rramirrezz same place as you! Could see anywhere that might be better, just getting the drip tube in place was a pain, still needs a bit of adjustment I think.
@@ClassicRides i ordered the sparepart cobrra NDN2-B15 - that has 15 mm more length - so it was easier to mount than with the original holder..
@@rramirrezz Ah that’s interesting, I may have to do the same. Thanks Onkel!
Really enjoy your channel, where do you get your music from for uploading to UA-cam? Many thanks
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel. The music is either from Artlist or Epidemic Sound, I’ve subscribed to both at different times so it could be either.
@@ClassicRidesthanks for that il have a look into that. Keep up the good work very enjoyable. I realised when I see your channel you put up videos of driving a spitfire which I remembered from all them years ago then realised it was you nice to see the older spitfire clips.
@@Revolution_rider Nice to hear you saw those videos from all that time ago, I bloody loved that Spitfire, such a fun car 😁
Do you have a link to that particular Gerbing heated jacket! Thanks
I sure do, it's this one: collabs.shop/9a1mqy and I genuinely think it's great. A review on it will be coming soon 🙂
👍🤩👍
👊
Hi. Could you share the info of your gloves and the hand grips guard? I'm thinking of install a grid guard to my 2020 T120. Thanks in advance. Getting from USA
Hi, the gloves are the Gerbing XR Xtreme short cuff gloves, so far they’ve been excellent in the cold. There’s a link in the pinned comment if you want to check them out.
The hand guards Barkbusters VPS with the universal single point mount, again they’ve been really good at keeping the cold off my hands this winter 👍
nice video, is this bike good enough and usually commutingfriendly? foor daily use and weekend Turing?
Any way great video
Be safe & God bless
Yes, I would say any Bonnieville is perfect for both commuting and touring 👌
@@ClassicRides thanks for your message, I have doubts between this and Moto Guzzi V9 or V7 so,
enjoy it
@@petroosabdollahian1648 I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever one you go for, they're all good bikes 👍🏻
@@ClassicRides Thanks for massage, would test drive it at the dealer👍
Watched a lot of your videos, have a few harleys, regrettably sold my scrambler 900 2 years ago. Looking at T120 2016 with 37,000 miles on it. Have you much miles on your bike
Hi Paul, I’ve got about 23k miles on mine now. I imagine 37k wouldn’t be a problem as long as it’s been looked after, my bike seems pretty robust 👌
So how did the heated gear perform?
They’re really good 👍 the gloves were a bit of a faff to put on (not ideal for filming), but I was very comfortable in some very cold weather. I’d definitely recommend them.
