@ClassicRides is that a triumph brand luggage tail rack?

Yes, it's the one that comes with a backrest, just I have it with the backrest taken off.@@EastboundDwn

Yet another relaxing informative watch Matt, I'm just starting my videoing journey & I've loads to learn. I'm enjoying your content & the way it's presented too, so much so, I'm going to join your channel as soon as I've finished typing. Many thanks for taking me along. 👍

Excellent work with the new 360 camera. I watched your presentation on it. The Lakes Region is beautiful and very old. The canal area, boat rides maybe overnight trips. Total different perspective. I follow several camper who stay on top of the area. Incredible sun rize and sets. Wild weather. Get a ride in every chance you get this time of year. Great vid Matt. Look forward to next ride.

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Sam. It’s a privilege to live somewhere with such a rich history, even better to be able to ride bikes through areas that haven’t changed much in a few hundred years.

[@ClassicRides]

It was, a little chilly though 🥶

[@seanfrank4158]

I have to live vicariously through people such as yourself who can pretty much ride year round. It's too cold and too snowy for me to ride my Bonnie in winter sadly....

[@ClassicRides]

A heated jacket & gloves helps a lot for the cold, not so much for the snow though ⛄️

[@dvm8834]

@@ClassicRides I agree, for me the cold is not a problem now either, the problem is one and a half meters of snow on the road, an electrically heated jacket will not melt the path for my journey, but what a path, it will not even clear the path to the barn where my Bonneville sleeps.

handguards??? pretty cool. you can put burkbusters blizzards muffs on them. amazing in winter for me!

[@ClassicRides]

They’re just for winter against the cold, seem to be working pretty well.

[@eyedoclondon]

I wondered if you'd give your bike a name Matt! I have named mine too - typically we give them female names however for some reason when I collected my T100 last April I decided to call him Terry Thomas after the actor. Indeed - before anyone comments, I know its a bit odd, but there you go...

[@ClassicRides]

Terry Thomas is a good name I think 😁. I've named my bike Silvie, possibly not the most inventive name but it suits her 🙂

[@Jokwoo]

The video doesn’t appear to be produced by a team of one. Impressive. 👏🏾

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks Julian, I have the high blood pressure to prove it’s just me making these videos 😁

[@rmjl9460]

Beautiful, as always. I agree with @sam04025… your videos have a calming, relaxing effect. Btw, could you make a video of your bike set-up? I’m trading in my Trident 660 for a Bonnie, and would like to know how to set up w aux lights & crash guards & still maintain the classic look. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@ClassicRides]

Thanks, glad you liked it. I've been meaning to do a video on the exact setup of the bike for a while, so hopefully I'll get time to do that soon. In the meantime if you have a look on the website, there's a journal post about the bike with a parts list included. I need to update it as it's not exactly how the bike is at the moment, but it's mostly the same. I'll try to update it this week.

[@ReelRidersPodcast]

This is very welcome on a Friday night, Matt. Have you done something to make the B-roll shots sound a lot sexier? The Bonnie was sounding mighty good!

[@ClassicRides]

Just a different camera, I’ve been experimenting with the Pocket 3, so far so good 👍

[@jjnewman65]

Nice one 👍🏻 I thought you’d have had a black a silver number plate😉? New hand guards on the bike?

[@ClassicRides]

I did have a black and silver plate, but it's too much stress waiting for the day I get pulled for it. Hand guards just for winter, they're doing a good job at keeping the cold off, look a bit naff though.

[@jjnewman65]

I’ve got a one but happy to ride with it until I get pulled over🤞🏻

[@kiarashsadigh6342]

Lovely video!! What camera do you use? I can tell the insta 360 but what other cameras do you carry with you?

[@ClassicRides]

In this video it’s a mix of different cameras: Insta360 Ace Pro, GoPro Hero11, PanoX V2 and a DJI Pocket 3.

Hi Andy, currently I’ve got Avon Trailriders on the bike. Seem pretty good so far 👍

[@andyhathaway1894]

Thank you 👍

[@jerhughes500]

Nice video Matt. I think I'm right in thinking you had an Interceptor? I'm thinking of one as a stop gap bike until I get another T120. Any thoughts/advice on it? Are they any good for all day rides? Cheers.

[@ClassicRides]

Hi Jer, yes I did have one briefly. To be honest they’re not all that different to a T120, less power obviously and it seems to hold its weight higher up, so although it’s about the same weight it feels heavier (to me anyway). But it seemed like a quality bike, I’d definitely have another if I didn’t already have a Bonnie.
