    I love your enthusiasm for life Freddie! This is what riding bikes was like when I first started biking in the mid 70’s. You didn’t need full leathers and superbikes to enjoy biking. I think people have been conditioned through advertising to believe they need the latest and best so it’s a breath of fresh air watching your adventures with Monika.😊

      Yes indeed Chris, I remember that well with my mates, all on Brit Bikes. Back then though the bikers would usually ride in small groups, unlike F + M.
      Single bikers were mostly only ever seen doing the to and from work ride.

    I could tell it was Slapton Sands from the intro. Used to go there often with the children. As I recall it has some military history to it as the Allies planned on using Slapton Sands as a practice for the D-day landings. I hope you also managed to check out Bigbury and the fabulous Art Deco hotel in the island. It’s another great spot. Looking forward to your next video as I plan on doing some Dartmoor trips later this year.

    The great thing about your videos is that while they are, of course about motor cycles, they are also about the lifestyle that owning and riding a bike can bring, and this is what makes you both so watchable, together with your enthusiasm for everything you do, and, of course, Monica laughing at you occasionally from behind the camera.. Incidentally, a nerdy historical note about Slapton Sands: it looked beautiful in your film but it was the location of a major amphibious exercise in WW2 in preparation for D-Day. Sadly, there was a series of major cock-ups resulting in a heavy death toll of mainly American soldiers. The full story will certainly be on the web somewhere if you Google it. Where ever you go, there's history!

    Let us not forgot the brave men that lost their lives during Exercise Tiger in April 44 on Slapton Sands.

    Love these videos even though this one has made me massively homesick. Slapton sands is one of the places I always visit when I'm back in Devon. Next time I'll also be on a bonneville, be it a scrambler tho. Keep those good vibes coming.

      I thought the north of Devon would be the real beauty spot, so I was very pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the south was!🙂. Thanks Ian!

    You're very keen drinking directly from a stream that likely has farm runoff. Taking risks is deep in the biker's soul.

    Hi,just watched your south devon road trip,its ironoic that my mother,born 1928,stepney and my farther born 1927,ilford used to ride down to south devon in the late 40,s early 50,s on an AJS 350 and stay at greenway farm. They moved to Brixham in 1957 where i was born. A 70,s dude,myself and a few other 'lads' where 60ish now regulary ride from Paignton pier to Plymouth via the Kingswear ferry to Dartmouth and on to said destination on our 70,s japanese bikes.You missed the sherman tank war memoril at slapton and the superb blackpool sands,however we forgive you being a city dweller,next time give us a shout.

    Another great video, I too love your enthusiasm and you two do make great videos - lots of inspiration. I'm often interested in finding locations that I see in videos - maybe start tagging the what3words location codes in the description :) Looking forward to the Dartmoor video, I've enjoyed some great wild camping there.

    You missed out the important history of the sands. They were used as a practice landing beach, in preparation for the D Day landings.
