Lovely to see our South Wales Classic Motorcycle Club stand featured along with my father in laws 1994 Yamaha GTS100 and my 1989 Honda VFR750!! - Hope you had a fantastic day!
We didn't get everyone but glad you found your selves on the vid.
I do think the GTS is a bit special. Not seen many on the road.
Nice stand and thanks for watching our little video.
Carol & Richard
Great coverage, thank you for taking us along. Very much appreciated
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching
Always like a walkround with Richard & Carol. Great show again, brings back so many memories. I had the DT175 Yam over the quarries on Portland as a kid. Brilliant bike 👌
I loved my DT175. I was very lucky to grow up on a farm and have understanding parents who allowed me to ride around the fields and woodland behind. Got lots of riding in pre-16.
Glad you enjoyed the walkaround. Best bits were chatting to some of the owners/builders, some very talented/eccentric/amazing people. Very few young people there sadly.....
I went along yesterday with my Dad. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been going since the 90's.
We always enjoy the show. We do a bit of filming then just wander around and take it all in. Good to hear you enjoyed the show and thanks for watching
Great walk around! Again I've found myself wishing I could of gone but happily relying on your commentary to give me the low down. Great vid thank you!
Thanks for watching. Hopefully if enough of you watch, I might recoup the cost of the entry from Google. Probably not mind, we bought cookies as well! 🤣
@@Banditmanuk 😂
Thanks for the filming of our (Marston Sunbeam Club & Register) stand Richard. Sorry I missed you both. I was off wandering, although there all 3 days. The Model 8 350cc Sunbeam at the back, with the race plate No 12, was my bike, that I raced in the Swiss Alps last August, whilst you and Carol were probably less that 50 miles away, doing your Alpine rides. Really great video yet again Rich. We expect no less nowadays. Glad you enjoyed the show. By the way our stand won Best British Club Stand, handed out by Guy Martin. We are all very proud after all the hard work.
Sorry we missed you. We did look. Lovely stand by the way.
Auction short vid coming next Saturday morning.
Best wishes
Carol and Richard
Very nice video as always loads to see and very informative keep up the good work guys hope to see you again cheers Mo.
Mo, you were brilliant. Love your enthusiasm. Really appreciate you taking the time to chat. Hope the battery is in the Bandit soon.
Cheers
Enjoyable watch. Gee.
Thanks, appreciate you watching
well filmed, many thanks, regards from london
Thank you. Like your channel name by the way 🙂
Could walk about with the two of you all day. Great upload and great memories of a biking era gone by. Silly money for some of those 2-strokes from my teenage years, mind you! I should have held onto them! Chuckled when you showed Honda's little 50cc Express. My mother (now in her late 80's), owned one of those from new back in 1979 , in a very fetching canary yellow paint scheme, complete with basket! I had the 'pleasure/embarrassment' of riding it home for her from the dealers, much to the enjoyment and finger-pointing from local lads waiting at bus stops along the way!!! Both of you take care and thanks again.
I'm glad you've found it entertaining. We're there to enjoy the day and have a bit of a laugh. Couldn't agree more on the silly prices these old bikes fetch. You wait until you see next Saturday's vid where we cover some of the Bonham's auction bikes!
Great story about your mum's bike 🤣
Thanks for watching. Cheers
@@Banditmanuk Did you go into the Auction. I had a spare catalogue you could have had. £199,000 for a HRD Vincent? It was beautiful though!
@@RichardASK All happening in the next vid 👍👍
Very good review of the show, I haven't been for years, used to go with an old mate who was into the classics. He was a 2 stroke fan.
We (I should probably say me) love two-strokes. It's the technology of a bygone age, unfortunately. I doubt a younger generation will feel the same.... polluting tech best consigned to history.
18.00 mins in ...that CBX is AMAZING!.... Great content thanks
It certainly is. Appreciate you watching
Great video keep them coming cannot get to the show this year thanks
Cheers Stephen, appreciate you watching
enjoyed the wonder around with you both . bought back some memories . 1st the Suzuki gt 750 in orange .had one the same ,fitted a Watsonian g p sports sidecar when our Chris was 18 months old to it and went to the tt races . also a mk.1 goldwing ,same sidecar and towed a camping trailer with it . thanks for the excellent show coverage .
You certainly owned some iconic bikes John. The Watsonian sidecars look amazing. Hope you're keeping well. Best wishes
@@Banditmanuk thanks Richard and Carol .
Thanks for the video,
nice to see the bikes, have to say it looks incredibly quiet there for an international show, compared to any shows I have been to in the past
It was quiet to start with and we filmed early. Also the weather was great and lots of people were outside. Guy Martin is there today, and I'm guessing he will attract more visitors today.
Thanks for watching
That yamaha fs1e bought back memories for me my older mate let me ride his to the cafe in kinver while he rode a bsa 175
I was only 13 at the time. When I was of a legal age my first bike was a yamaha dt 80 mx so I passed my test as soon as possible then went and bought a honda CB 900, MADNESS back in those days when you were aloud to do this, lovely bike though blacktank with silver stripe down side and fitted with a harris 4 into 1 exhaust. I don't no how me or my licence survived I ended up with 11 points on my CV. Paid a visit to the triumph cafe today no wonder it's one of your favourites. It's proberbly 10 years since I've been to the Stafford classic show thanks for the video tour.
It's a wonder many of us made it through those early riding days in the late 70s early 80s. Some fast bikes, cheap insurance, easy to pass your test and no speed cameras.
I certainly had my share of lunacy. Luckily I've got the calming influence of Carol when I'm riding the MT10 🤔
That cafe does great coffee. Thanks for watching our Stafford wander.
Thanks for showing us around and for your excellent presentation of what was on show. Lots and lots of nostalgia there from both the time I started motorcycling and well before it.
It's all about nostalgia. So many folks want to search out a bike similar to what they owned in their youth. Or more like what they wanted in their youth but couldn't afford back then.
We met some great characters, all eager to share the story of their bike. Brilliant 👍
Hey guys, Steve here in New Hampshire. I need to apologize about the "subscribe" part but to share something. Your tour is brilliant. I especially like the banter and the still pictures that Carol takes. It seems that whatever topic, You Tube is just better with a couple involved. There is a certain drama that is built in. And so booth to booth, bike to bike, so sweet. Thank you.
I'm lucky Carol shares my passion for motorcycles. I'm even more lucky she enjoys messing around doing UA-cam vids. Most of what you hear is what we would be saying to each other even if the cameras weren't there.
We both appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for watching
Wow I want all those bikes just stunning so much more class than the plastic bikes today
We certainly feel that way. I wasn't sure it was just because we're getting old or if bikes truly were better looking then
Great video thanks for sharing ,oh the memories 👍
Yep 👍 Thanks for watching
Brilliant😊 so many marvellous bikes 😊 thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks, we love the older bikes.
Great show! I went to the Classic show in Shepton Mallet a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. Bit of a wake up call seeing bikes I used to ride are now classics 🤣
8.5k for a fizzy though 😳
Nicely done as always you two 👍🏼
Yep I was shocked at the FS1E price. I paid a few hundred back in the day for a nearly new bike
Superb show guys fabulous bikes some mouthwatering strokers at eye watering money 😉another year missed moving house this week and it's bad bike has problem put new fuel tap on her last May and this May I find that wonderful E5 fuel has destroyed the tap again so it off to hospital for the Yam hopefully before moving day as no time to sort it life can be a drag sometimes .😑great watch though spirits lifted 😉👌👍
Sorry to hear about the Yam's allergic reaction to ethanol, hope it's back on the road soon. 🙏
I'm sure the move will go fine.
Appreciate you watching, we love two-strokes here.
Great to have a tour of the Classic Bike show.. I thought it was the perfect solution so I could ‘visit’ without actually being there… right up until Carol bought the banana and toffee cookie. Now I need one! 😢
Can we get a review as to how good that cookie was! 😂
When we actually tried the banana cookie, we wished we had bought more.
Big chunks of sliced banana, slightly chewy. Absolutely gorgeous 😍
Most of our vids include food, usually cake.
Thanks for watching our UA-cam nonsense.
Cheers
Amazing show. From very nice 2-strokes to mega 6-cyl models like the CBX. :) I am glad that you found the exact RD350 that you had. I don't think that Carol would like that Honda Express that you suggested there. :) Anyways... enjoyed it very much. Cheers. Take care, both of you. :)
Thanks Gregor. Yes Carol wasn't keen on the Honda Express 🤣🤣Some lovely bikes there
@@Banditmanuk I see. :)
A great show for sure and especially with your commentary. The bikes are too close together on a lot of them to see them properly. I knew Carol would entice me to eat before going to bed with that cookie.😁😁 Thanks for sharing 👍👍
It's a real frustration about not being able to walk around some of the bikes. The club stands are guilty of packing way too many bikes into their small area and then covering with a canopy so no light gets in. We didn't try to even film some of them.
Carol spotted that cookie stand from upstairs 🤣
Great stuff, not able to go this time so thank you for that. 16:30 Those are just like the panniers I mentioned in the last one on the back of that CBX, simple clip off and that carry handle on top turns them into small suitcases. Simple design. Aston Martin Brough Special, well first thoughts are they should stick to car designing! Beautiful you say, well that is very subjective but not a practical ride by any means certainly not any type of GT! Enjoyed that thanks again.
Much as I like the CBX with panniers, I prefer the naked one. Not even sure why that Aston Martin bike was at the show??
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Much appreciated 🙏
i am not sure if we are allowed to say ‘look at the size of the fins on that ‘
these days🤣
great video guys 👌
Ha ha yes. Well they were big ones 🤣
Thanks for watching
Great show, the CBX looked great !
That engine is one heck of an engineering masterpiece. Beautiful in my opinion.
Thanks for watching
Only seems like last month you filmed last year's, good show that, not too crammed either. Lovely bikes
Yes, another year gone!
It's didn't get really busy until lunch time. We like to get in early with the cameras.
Undoubtedly some beautiful bikes on show 👌
That looks like a great day out! Love the EV Bandit. I like the CBX always have. Don’t know if I’d like to own one. XT 600 Tenere is still on my wish list.
The guy with the EV Bandit is a great guy. Also, on the stand he had a quad powered by a Bandit engine that had 6 forward and 6 reverse gears. He's built loads of stuff and is a proper talent
Very chivalrous of you to let Carol go up the stairs first Richard 😂
We've made too many videos together. She knows me too well 🤣🤣
That new Brough Superior you showed is horrendous to maintain, oil etc has to be changed every 25 hrs, so much maintenance to do , valves etc-- I watched a UA-cam video on one in France , where they make them now, over a hundred grand too -- nice video you guys provided 👍
I guess the people who can afford to buy them can afford the maintenance.
Lots will just be show bikes. I don't think I've seen a modern one on the road.
Thanks for watching our little walk around
@@Banditmanuk 👍👍
Did I catch a glimpse of a built in Clydebank Victoria
I always question myself as a biker when I see these type of events. Although I've been riding bikes for 51 years (only owned one car for just 3 months) I have zero interest in these sorts of things. Some of them look nice and I fully appreciate the work involved in restoring them but I wouldn't wish to be lumbered with one. However, a definite talking point when mounted on a plinth in the lounge! I'll run away now so I don't get assaulted by real bikers! 😬
I think the actual riding is more important than owning in my opinion. It's why I sold my other bike. Saying that I do get the nostalgia thing that drives folks to buy bikes they owned in their youth.
The guy I was chatting to on the Greeves stand could no longer ride but still loved showing his bike and got much pleasure from just attending the event.
Most of our channel viewers are a friendly bunch, plenty of room for different opinions here. 😉
Its a shame i was told the cost of the outside stalls is massive it does look a fair bit thin on the ground not like 10 or 15 years ago when it was busy.
I'm probably guilty of showing it less busy than it eventually got. We filmed as soon as it opened Saturday. I'm guessing Sunday may have been busier with the attraction of Guy Martin being there.
The food stalls were certainly charging well, we bought lunch on our way home.
I think the bigger issue is most folks attending were old, don't see many youngsters picking up the spanners. I think it may eventually get less busy.
Could be tempted by the TL 🤦🏻♂️
It wasn't a bad price. You and Heath could set up the Cornish TL club. 🤔
I mustn’t 😔
Most RD's were 250's as you could ride up to a 250cc on L plates
I was one. Owned an XS250 for a few weeks then a red and white RD250LC
No way EV Bandit lol not ever lol. The Honda CBX should never had a fairing the naked look is everything . Item 425 stunning . What a nice bike . The Ducatis stunning and i am not a fan of the but so nice . Just a quick one what about the Classic 50cc bike . Just a quick one what about the 500c bikes from the 70s like the SS50s and the FS1Es everyone walks past them without any comment . Thats where biking for most of us took off and yet no one covers them ?????
I'm afraid the list of what we didn't cover is huge. We did a much longer video last year, unfortunately being so long not many folks watched.
Mo who built the Bandit EV is actually a huge engineering talent. He's built many creations with combustion engines and did this as a personal challenge.
I completely agree on the CBX1000. The look is all about the engine and the naked bike is it.
Thanks for watching
Yes M8 EV Bandit IV built Bandit Q 23:26 uad from ground up. Bandit reverse trike. Bandit Turbo.Bandit on nitrous And the Famous Dog the Bounty Hunter Next project possibly a bandit mobility scooter see what time I have.
Cheers Mo.
It gets worse every year.
£20 on the gate per person, and £11.00 for a hot pork bun with a bit of apple sauce, won't wash with me, when many are struggling to live.
I reckon that this show won't be around in a few years, if prices on the gate and food are not reduced.
Even the autojumble is raped by the greedy traders, before the public get round, leaving only tat for the people who have paid ridiculous money to attend, and have something to eat.
If this trend of greed carries on, it will end up like the Great Dorset Steam Fair..
Gone forever, and all through sheer greed.
Yep, the cost is a big thing (we paid to enter like everyone else)
I'm thinking with the age demographics of those attending, the numbers are going to reduce each year as I just don't see the interest from younger folk.
We refused to pay those outrageous prices for those buns or burgers. We got a meal with drinks and fries from McDonald's on the way home for £15.00 for the two of us.
What can be done about greedy traders? You see them at car boots buying anything decent at setup then putting them back up for sale.....
At least I hope those not able to go to the show can get a feel for what it's like by watching the vids maybe???
@@Banditmanuk
I usually go, but given this year a miss.
I won't be attending the September one either.
I got in free last year, as I was a guest of an entertainer there, but still managed to waste £140 and came home with absolutely nothing.
(Which didn't include the price for my transport there and back to North Wales.
The greedy organisers would be much better off charging £10 per person with concessions for pensioners, and have the place buzzing, rather than almost empty.
The caterers would also benefit too, if they charged reasonable prices for food.. but for what they charge, and what the gate charges it amounts to nothing except highway robbery.
@@anythingoldmechanical If the Organisers couldn't make a profit, there wouldn't be a show. All the exhibitors in the main halls show at their own expense and effort. Sure we get wristbands for free entry, but we are there from very early morning, then home mid evening, for all 3 days. I live 60 miles away, so 360 miles for the weekend and about 80 quid's worth of diesel! So don't feel too hard done by. It was a great show.
@@RichardASK I just hate to see people taken advantage of.
As you say, with age demographics, the current generation have little or no interest in these type of events.
Same as British bikes, people now are starting to have trouble getting decent money for them, as the people who had them in their teenage and early years are all dying off.
People are now going for classic jap, with their performance and reliability.
I think the organisers would of had a shock, when they counted the takings of this show, and also noticed a steeper decline in each annual attendance.
The smaller shows are better, their gate prices are good, and very few become victims of their own success.
Vintage motorcycles are beautiful 😍❤️ modern motorcycle are ugly 🤢
Yep, we think so 👍
Marvellous show & achingly gorgeous bikes galore. Kudos for excluding those made with Chineseium content, shouldn't be allowed in the building in my opinion. 👍 👍
Yep. Brilliant show. It is the classic bike show, we shouldn't really have new bikes on show at least in the halls in my humble opinion
ditto .
@@BanditmanukBrilliant show indeed. Ps 'fun' fact? I'm pretty sure that I saw you two (or clones?) recently on Northern Perimiter Road. I live just off it, close by Triumph factory. Within 5 Mins ride as matter of fact. Can see the plant from my home.... 👍 👍
@@daveh9003 That's almost certainly us. we are often there as it's reasonably local ride for us from Swadlincote. We like the coffee there. I'm hard to miss at 6ft 3 and 19st!
@@Banditmanuk In that case, yep ~ Defo you two. I've never been for a coffee, shall have to give it a whirl. Know Swad’ v well used to work there.Famous boxer hails from there whos name is now lost to memory.
