    Glad you sorted that mate. Been riding to Matlock Bath since 1976 on my FS1E. Do it every week now since retiring, on my current bike collection. Oh, and I live in Derby.

      @@TheMissendenFlyer sorry, I didnt mean I didn't like your videos... I love them. Infact you helped me narrow down my next bike. CB500X. I did have the 650vstrom xt but for my short ass it was a little big n bulky. I need to get down to fowlers bristol and have a test ride, what's your tske on the new '2022' CB500X

      There are some great places not far from Matlock to "ride alone" ....one just needs an "Adventure Bike" or an "Off Roader" ....and you can ride anywhere a commuter/tourer/sports bike can go, and a host of other places too.
      Just "keep it legal" is the only caveat.

    Hi, just found this great video. At the time I was the organiser of this TVR car club run you are passing through Matlock Bath. The run is called " Thrills in the Hills " ( many videos available on here ) we used to get between 70 and 130 TVR,s blasting through the Peaks. Always great to go through Matlock Bath just for the reaction to the cars.

    Lovely video, coming from nearby Sheffield, that is "my area" ....there are some great rides in & around the Derbyshire Peak District, and some great "Green-Laning" too if thats your thing ....I ride a 650 Yamaha Dragstar and I use a little AJS 125 "Scrambler" for my off roading forays all around that area.

    Wow. Super busy! So many TVRs...The Tuscan has the oddest interior I've ever sat in. Was going to rent one for a weekend, but ended up preferring the Griffith V8 :) My mother's always prattling on about Matlock - now I see why! Looks nice.

      @itzajdmting 8 років тому +1

      +TheMissendenFlyer I was once obsessed with Tuscans. Not quite so much anymore, but still appreciate them. No never seen the inside of a Cerebra - great exhaust note on those! Yeah I was quite surprised by the TVR interiors - very 'Jetsons'. Would love to own a TVR one day, and yes, great shame about the company.

    Tmf, sorry I'm a bit late catching up but only just seen this video for some strange reason and may I say you have done Matlock Bath Justice with your video, a cracking view of this wonderful place, I live 15 miles from Matlock Bath so it's a regular fish and chip run for me but may I say great to have Tmf riding through, the cliff edge you mentioned as you enter into Matlock Bath on your left hand side are a regular for rock climbers in summer, something to look out for.
