To a Log Cabin on a Royal Enfield, Two Adventure Bikes and the Tool Roll Launch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2024
- I ride over to Ipswich on the Honda Transalp, meet up with Danny on his KTM 1290 Adventure. After that, I pinch his Royal Enfield Classic 500, for a ride into the Essex countryside where I spend the weekend in a log cabin for the Libertatia tool roll photoshoot.

Hi all, The Libertatia tool rolls are available here: www.thelibertatia.com/
Have a great day!
Cactus leather badge? Another vegan bike product, well done 👍
Where are the cabins Freddie? How much per night?
“Almost tripped over a dead badger” now that’s not a sentence you hear every day 😂
These beautiful retro bikes like these Royal Enfield are the true motorcycles for aesthetes and philosophers among motorcyclists. They are just as suitable for long tours. Slowing down isn't a problem for everyone.
In the case of late model Bullett 500s they’re also the natural choice for any home mechanics out there as QC was…well, slightly spotty. Hopefully that was the idea behind the shoot.
Product looks great if a bit steep compared to the Kreiga roll I use. Totally different style and I understand why it costs like it does but I figure it’s more for someone buying their first roll rather than people who already have one. Best of luck with the sales mr Dobbs, looks very dashing.
I would sooner have a real classic
Written like philosopher. I really like this and totally agree with you
I agree, beautifully written and so true ✨
Arrogance isn't dead yet.
Love that you don’t edit out the locals walking dogs past the camera. It adds to the charm of your channel. Thanks
I love that, due to the time difference between us (I’m in Tucson, Arizona), I can wake up at 6 or 7 & your video is usually ready to roll. Very relaxing way to enjoy a cup of coffee as I watch the sun come up :)
You don’t need a £17,000 bike to tour Normandy. I did it last year on my sub £4,000 royal Enfield meteor. From south wales, across from Portsmouth to ouistreham and at 100 mpg. Sat nav was my phone, mounted with a quad lock. Plugged into the convenient standard USB port.
You can keep you big adventure bike, im all about the RE Thumpers
Me too!!!
'Uncool' Dan was a nice addition, you two work well together.
Oooooh that sounded lovely on the kick start..pop pop pop.
It’s music🙂🎶🎶
I could easily live in this cabin as my main home. What a marvellous place it is!
Another fine production with such nice music. No matter what the subject is, it is always relaxing and fun.
Thank you Freddie and Monica. ❤
Good to see Danny back in a video, he seems like a decent spud 😊
Beautiful countryside.
Beautiful music 🎶
Great to see Danny again 👏 The KTM is simply a engineering Masterpiece 👏
Loved the Royal Enfield.
Danny really is a bike Guru and wonderful to have Monika behind the camera again.
Wonderful video.
Dismal, cold, damp, muddy.... hardly beautiful...
No my vfr 750 is a engineering masterpiece, not a ktm
I think whatever makes your own riding experience better and puts a smile on your face and gets you to your destination safe, is fine with me, we're all different, we all like different amounts of tech and power and sttyles of bike. That for me, is what I love about biking, all things for all people to get them on two wheels and push the limits of what their bike was designed to do, or just enjoy it as is. Great video.
I won’t slag the price of the tool roll, you’ve figured the price point needed for your business and I respect that. Certainly out of my price range however but they do look nice.
My thoughts exactly. Time will tell if he's gone too far on the mark-up.
I agree they look great and appear excellent quality. I just can't afford one. If I could I would definitely have one on my Enfield...
Don't forget the £6 postage 😂
@@richandiben crikey didn’t spot that.
I'm a big fan of Freddie and love his vlogs, also his enthusiasm for his products but the price of this particular product is over the top. Having said that though, most things relating to motorcycles are the same. They cater so much on the born again and middle class bikers who have vast amounts of disposable income who are willing to pay out for this stuff.
Ohh Freddie, Monika & Mother a fantastic launch and a classic tool roll for every classic motorcycle 👌
Great to see Danny & the beast KTM.
Congratulations on the launch ⭐️
The Royal Enfield Classic 500 is called the "running fossil" in Japan.
wonderful.👍
Hey Freddie and Monica - thought you had missed a trick not kick starting the RE, but then, BOOM! Great way to finish and shows off well how to carry the tool roll on the bike. All the best.
Gotta say Freddie I love most of yours and Monika’s videos you’re enthusiasm to life is amazing,but £93 for a small tool roll is a bit much compared to other top brands made from leather
Incredibly generous lending out his bike👍
Bought a wax cotton one. Whilst more than I’d normally spend on something like this I recognise the quality and generally want to support this great little uk enterprise. Design looks perfect for my bonneville. Best of wishes and hope it is the first of many nifty little products.
Enfield looks great in front of this cabinet . Better than a bunch of plastic 😀😅
Love the Tool Roll, These days you are not expected to have to use tools on a new motorcycle so no longer get a set of spanners in a plastic bag under the seat, I guess today's bikes are less likely to break down, however, it would be nice to have a few basic tools when you purchase a new motorcycle, handy even just to carry an adjustable etc to adjust the chain and charge or replace the battery, hopefully it provides a nice income for Monika and whoever else is involved, Great innovation towards safe motorcycling.
🇺🇸 Yet another absolutely awesome video Freddie!! Outstanding relaxing entertainment, and my Wife and I enjoy your content more and more every new episode. I truly adore the modern day Royal Enfield’s superb performance and build quality, but unfortunately they don’t make a DCT version being that I can no longer use a gear shift lever! However, I am totally addicted to my ‘22 Honda CMX1100 DCT! Thank you again Freddie! 👏 👍
Your grass is so green! Not that way in Iowa in 1st of March
Great presentation, Freddie. First class coverage on the KTM. The tool roll looks cool. 👍👍👍👍
Great Motorcycle storytelling here! Thanks for making these videos!
Ahhh he's great on screen isn't he (Danny)!!! You should honestly do more bike stuff or a tour with him.
Great vid Fred, best of luck with the Tool rolls.
He comes across very well, doesn’t he🙂
I’ll make sure to do some more stuff him
Royal Enfield bikes are great!
Aren’t they!
Love the time colapsing intro of the Classic with the intention of a rough direction guess at the cabin, waiting for the updates getting loss. This is why I like your honest vlogs. Ride safe mate
Such a lovely place and a fitting bike for the location and ride,❤️🙏
Mastered the kickstarter! 👏👏😉
Like a lot your videos. They are always entertaining and relaxed. That cabin is lovely. I live in Spain, visited my son that was working in England and liked a lot your countyside. I like a lot RE bikes, tried almost all of them and I can say that they have soul. I currently own two Japanese bikes that are fantastic but I do not discard add in the future a Royal Enfield to my stable. Keep releasing videos, amigo, they are unique.
Loved the video!
Anniversary model! Beautiful bike. Hood jeans! Best rider protection and all year rider comfort!
Proper lads! Stay well
Very nice. The motorcycles and the cabin.
Finally! Spotting a Jeep in the b-roll. 💯 (and a Saab 900 to boot). Love the tool rolls, will have to order one for my Jeep.
Another great video!
Beautiful cabin
We have just got back from a month in Kerela Royal Enfield
Bullets everywhere such a great bike
Great little looking place the cabin there
Freddie with tool's,... danger ⚡
Simplicity is the key to happiness ❤
Spring is in the air, no finer feeling!
I really enjoy your motorcycle reviews. Very entertaining. You're a fine presenter.
This is a nice spot. Like it very much! Need to continue this trip! But I think you do 👍
Another great well shot and edited video Freddie. The SAAB 90 was an unexpected bonus!
I haven’t seen one of those Saabs in about four years😍
My brother and I are HUGE Saab fans and I've had 8 different Saab 900 classics - my brother's had even more. At one point he had a 19'78 90 GLE with the 1.85 Triumph engine - very neat car! They are some of the most underrated cars, especially the performance and configurations of the turbo models! I love Saabs like Freddie loves the old Discovery Land Rovers and I totally get it! Awesome video @FreddieDobbs!!!
Two bikes on opposite ends of the motorcycle spectrum , and both confirming my preferences lie very much in the centre of that spectrum ! ... great video as always.👍
Very nice location, Not sure its particularly traditional but it is very nice.
Hopefully the traditional polished concrete floors have some traditional underfloor heating 😂. But, yes, does look nice.
My order has been placed for the tool roll! I went for the ‘limited edition’ waxed cotton version. It’s a lovely looking piece of kit and it looks like it should outlast me. 😊 Looking forward to taking it on my travels.
What tools are included?
Thank you so much Neil, I hope you like it!🙂
awesome vid
Love your video, Fred. I kinda like what you do there 💯
Morning Freddie and Monika !
Good morning Mike! Have a great day🙂
Very cool
Its funny how Freddie always has to cross his legs and lean one hand on the motorcycle..lol. Nice videos.
Have you been waiting for the vlo…
YES
Website looks great by the way. That Royal Enfield was the perfect choice :)
that classic 500 is absolutely stunning. might i add, the gear you’re wearing somewhat matches the bike :) your joy about the 500 is infectious. excited to see the new 500 RE will release in the future ?
Loving the videos and i dont even own a motorbike and probably never will but really enjoy the content
Transalp any time of the day! True all rounder imo.
All you need is heated gloves/jacket. Then you have heat for any bike. Gloves heat outside of the hand which is what you want. I use Gerbing XRL gloves connected to bike's battery. They are fantastic! 👍
I am fortunate I had a big Sport Tourer Triumph Trophy SE a T120 Bonneville and an Aprilia Mana 850. I’m thinking of adding a mid size ADV bike. Having a big motor on a bike for touring is great. Just makes the day effortless and not getting blown around on the US highways.
That looks like the cabin you two stayed at last year. Looks like a nice setup.
Going car like isn't a real selling point to me but Danny seems very happy with it. I guess it is a great tool for longer rides. Some my memorable rides were on basic motorcycles without the aid of technology. However, the hitting the easy button may not be as memorable but the increased number of rides on technology advanced bikes may add up to the old school rides.
I think this is a good level headed insight from a retro biker. I’m along the same lines
That is one classy bike
Great video Freddie, £93 for a tool roll is a tad out of my price range, good luck with the product
Looks like your gonna be back on your bonneville in no time, watched the premiere today on it. Another great video freddy. Also how the hell does Danny have 92 misssed calls, that’s unbelievable lol
Impressive that even after hitting and killing the badger the Transalp looks unscathed. A rugged bike to be sure.
Freddie get yourself Peak design mount (plus phone case) i love mine in seconds between my GS and my Mountain bike. Also just loaded the Riding app your mate mentioned- game changer; just did an hours ride on roads in Surrey I’ve been looking for but didnt know it! Thanks so much.
I have a TA and a Multi, I think the comparison is very fair. spot on about the luggage set up on the KTM I run the same on the Multi and TA. One big thing on the TA it feel much lighter and more movable this makes it a much easier got to daily rider, but long long distance touring, especially 2 up then the bigger bike make more sense.
Freddie, can you try to persuade Danny to do a list of the tablet, holder and CarPlay plugin?
And the expanding top box please!
@@alanspence1716 The expanding top box looks like a SHAD SH59X.
Fantastic video once more, thank you Freddy and Co.
Here in Denmark, riding season begins this friday (closed for 3 months due to snow), cannot wait to bring out my new Triumph 900.
Could I trouble you for the name and model of the tablet that Danny uses on his KTM please ?
Regards
Carsten
Great vid Freddie, really interesting chat with your mate and his setup. I am buzzing as I pick up my new bike on Friday 1st.. Have you bought the transalp yet?
There’ll be a few sleepless nights beforehand I can imagine!😃 I’m now far too deep into Bonneville spending to consider a new bike😆
@@FreddieDobbs been watching the triumphs progress . What a find that guy is, he knows his stuff. Good luck with it, I hoped you get it back soon and get many years of happiness.
Good morning Freedie n Monica
Good morning!
Morning Fredrick , shame about all the road kill though . 🌍🙌🙏
Morning Stuart! Unfortunately I think I’ve only ever seen one living badger in my life. Have a great day!
Frankie do you think you could do a video on leather motorcycle jackets? Or give me some recommendations? Since they've got fashionable the prices have got really high on some of these so dont want to take the plunge and buy one without knowing which ones will serve me well)
"Adjusting Throttle response" is exactly what i don't look for in a bike.
Sometimes you don't want 200 horses in the rain mate...
I really like your jacket sir
There is no comparaison between the Transalp and the KTM 1290. KTM’s bad reliability is much more of a urban legend than a reality. Like for every motorcycle, if you care about them, respect them, I believe you’ll enjoy them long time without reliability problem. In the big adventure segment, I think KTM is really the best value&performances for the money. I got the 1290 R version, and it works perfect for me, I’ve owned or tested many others and there is not a single one I would trade for it. Thanks for you excellent video, as usual 👍
It’s ugly like hell. Sry dude…😅
Freddy finally kick started the Bullet
Freddie, how do you cope with the vibration of the classic 500? I testdrove one for 60 km and maybe I could drive additional 40 km but that would be all what I could bear for a day. Nice tool Roll by the way.
Freddie , you should start selling this product into motorcycle stores , people like to feel and see the quality of the products.
Trust me I spent 30 years getting products into supermarkets
I would never ever ever ever spend 7 K on something I/most of us never use. This is like buying a Porsche when a T.V.R. or Mazda mx5 would do ??? Great up load as always Mr Dobbs and your friend seems to be a really nice chap.
£7k is pocket change for a modern vehicle??
Good luck with the TVR repair bills
I love the toolrolls. But im in the U.S and the only biker that would spin that are hipsters that are used to spending $15 on a cup of coffee. Sorry but here in America working class would never spend money on it. But we have alot of rich hipsters here thou😂
There is a video of the RE factory in Chennai showing the coach liners painting the tanks. They are still doing it by hand on the latest Bullet. Essex! best county ever, even nicer the other side (west) of Colchester.
Yorkshire and it's dales would like a word
Ove seem those RE videos,.hand painting the lines on the tank is absolutely incredible craftsmanship
Uncle Stu and his Yorkshire speak is suffiecient.@@yanceyboyz
6:50 the Transalp has plenty of extra headroom when doing the pan european roadtrips.
Taking a 1290 KTM or Transalp on the Ichy Boots type adventures is probably too heavy. She was pretty clear that lighter is better as shes so much off road
Has anyone seen the TV program " ice road truckers"? Telling you how dangerous a road it is, and how tough the drivers are? Then check out a guy doing the ice road on his honda c90 he can and has gone where no big adventure bike would ever go. Search for c90 adventures
Did you go to the view point cafe by any chance (Landguard)? Think I saw a Royal Enfield and KTM in the car park.
Hi… where can the side bags on the RE be purchased?
Tried to post the carplay setup a couple of times but doesn’t like me putting links!
Tablet: Oukitel RT3 from Amazon
Carplay/Android Auto adapter: Carlink CPC-200 CCPA
Holder: Ram Mounts Tab29U
Thanks Danny! It's great when you're on the videos. What's the expanding top box please? Love everything in your set up but I'm like you - love gadgets!
@@alanspence1716 thanks!! it’s the KTM Shad touring expandable top box…it’s the 58l one and sets at three different levels
@@dannybate Thanks, from the video it's a great topbox. I think I might buy the 1290 Adv to fit all the ace equipment you've shown us, it needs something solid in the middle :). I'm also 6'1" so I know it would be a great fit. I'm Colchester, hope to see you around riding in East Anglia sometime.
Is there a link for the sa nav on the ktm? Cheers.
Which jacket are you wearing Freddie ? Thanks
U can customize the transalp plenty enough traction enginebrake torque aand so on. The only thing the ktm has over the alp is suspension hrprs and worse qulity.
Freddie......please get your hands on the new bullet 350 ...pleaseeee !!
Love from India ❤
I seem to remember this cabin. Have you been here before? Maybe somewhere similar. Edit: at the end you confirm what I thought. Nick
Wouldn't mind one of those toolrols. Do you have a link, also nice to see you back in Suffolk
Hi Stevey, you can pick them up here: www.thelibertatia.com Thanks🙌🏻
Is there a KTM tool roll, with diagnostic software and IT support numbers?
😆
It’s not enough for the KTM. Needs full 4x4 support vehicle 😎
This comment refers to the algorhythm to support your videos. #38
Greetings from Zurich
I’ve just sat on the floor in front of my 55” tv with a pair of old handlebars to save me test riding a KTM. All that for a bike that’ll probably never see real dirt, each to their own I guess. As for the lack of a quad lock, get a cheap com system for your helmet and Bluetooth maps to it, then your phone can go in your pocket, out of the way. Enjoy the ride…..
Bluetooth earpiece and Waze, phone in your pocket. I find with Waze the directions audio is sufficient????
@@RoyWFish I've only just got waze, in the car, I used Google maps and traveled the length of Britain, no issues.
Only thing missing is a fire place
freddie where did u buy your motorcycle jacket?
