Was good to see you down there, I'd not heard of Duke Blade either before, which is quite mad considering the size of his channel! :-) The Speedmaster looked lovely!
Hi Phil. Love the new way your videos open. Nice new bikes. Maybe time to trade in my 2001 Bonneville! Look forward to the reviews on the new bikes. Thanks from Niagara Falls Canada.
I reviewed the Bobber Black and Speedmaster yesterday. Forgot to hit record on the Bobber! But it is pretty much the same bike as the Speedmaster so I think I will end up doing a joint video and hope it all works out.
Not sure which I like more, the bobber black or a normal one. This is because I would love one all in black except the tank but all the extras to make it so add up to loads of money
Having ridden the Bobber Black yesterday, I would definitely go for the Black over the normal one. Brakes are far better and the fatter tyre gives it some great handling in the corners.
I had the same dilemma when I got my T100. I much prefer the black in general but some of the normal tank colours are really nice. Went for the black in the end and maybe one day I'll redo the tank with some orange bits or something. Shame they don't just let you choose.
Lovely isn't it?! Had a test ride on it yesterday. Very good indeed. Too easy to scrape the pegs though, but then it is a cruiser haha. They've added a simple cruise control to it, which is a nice touch.
Just been watching some reviews on the new Triumphs 👍 like em only thing I don’t like is that bloody Bobber seat stuck up in the Air ! ...nice one 👍👍🍺👊
No, they don't have it yet. Yes, this was with the Sony with the full on active steady shot on. Considering I had the shakes from the cold ride, and holding a cup of tea in the other hand, it turned out okay. I did some other hand held shots with it yesterday when out test riding. They have turned out well :)
I thought I saw you on Hippo Drones IG! I missed ours at Norfolk Triumph, I had a ticket, but I’d been out a lot of the day so I stayed at home to treat the wife.
It is really cold. I was going to wash the bikes today but I'm not up for it in these temperatures. Looks like it's going to get colder in the week and we may finally get some snow down here haha
It is quite expensive for what it is. I'm guessing things like the ABS, Brembos, cruise control and ride by wire drive the price tag up. If I'm spending £11k on a bike, I'd rather go for the Tiger 800 with a bunch of accessories for about that same amount.
All very nice indeed. That Speedmaster suits you sir, Ooh! :) Looking forward to the reviews. How are you liking the Hawk headlight on the GPZ? Make much difference?
Loving the Hawk, not sure about other road users though haha, some people seem to think I have my full beam on so they flash me. So naturally I flash back and show them the meaning of bright lol
My local Triumph dealer, Bulldog Triumph, Winnersh, had theirs the other night too. I’m a Duke B sub, only because of Gabi but don’t tell him that 😂. Only joking buddy you are entertaining and you have mad hair. Duke that is not Phil, does Phil have hair?
enjoy your vid info phil, thanks
Thanks Jeff!

Glad you liked the evening fella
DUKE BLADE did they need a lawyer?
Nah male bikini model
I want to see you on the Tiger 1200!!!!
Me too, if I can fit. The low seat height one sounds possible to me.

Maybe buy a red tank then? lol

No new speed rs there? That the Sony with stabilisation on in the store?
Speed RS coming in May (I may or may not work there haha)
Oh really, will have to pop in take a look! :-)
Yes, do!

I couldn't attend our open evening at Pure Triumph Wellingborough. :-(
I was there at Wellingborough and I have a quick video of it on my channel ;)
Cool! I'll check it out.

Yep, that would be me. It was a nice evening, what with free tea and buffet food :)
I’ll pop in next time I’m on a Brighton run, just too bloody cold right now and I’m soft.

You managed to resist signing on the dotted line then? Triumph has some nice 2018 models. The speed triple looks good too.
Sure does! I quite like the Speedmaster, very pretty.
Love the new speed master, don't like the price though, can't see why any new bike should cost as much as a small car! RSM8.

Hehe! Groovy, I'll put one on the DRZ then...As candlelight is getting a bit tiresome >_

Only just haha, there is probably more on my face now than on top of my head 😆
