ANDY TIERNAN'S CLASSIC BIKE EMPORIUM, VB digs deeper!

[@dezmondwhitney1208]

Some fine older characterful bikes. Great to see them.

[@WiltshireMan]

What a brilliant place, thanks for showing us VB

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@WiltshireMan Glad you enjoyed it

[@frankboff8185]

Very interesting place, not many places like that left. Thanks for sharing.

[@Trev350]

The shop I used to work in looked rather like that upstairs. Such places are very few and far between these days. They will be sadly missed when they're all gone. I could spend all day wandering around looking at stuff there. Wonderful.

[@andrewparfrement8583]

The first bike I bought in 1969 looked like this! The smell must be wonderful.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Trev350 There is no body to take over once he has gone.

[@Trev350]

@@Volcanicbrown1878 it will be a very sad day. Places like that are so rare now. So much character And so many rich treasures in there. Amazon doesn't sell the brilliant stuff on those shelves!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Trev350 That's why i make video's there, one day it will be all gone

[@nickmarshall9192]

Brilliant shop I must get myself up there one day I always look at Andy's stuff at the kempton park auto jumble

[@Roscoe_B]

Thanks again VB...love the tours at Andy's.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Roscoe_B Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephenc6503]

Nice one VB. 👍

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

There is a place here in the United States.Marne Iowa.Baxters cycles they have an impressive classic British bike selection .

[@JulianPerry-r4k]

What a place Andy’s got there! One of my favourite things is trawling his website and dreaming of the next classic. He seems to have honest bikes with honest descriptions at a very fair price. I’ve never seen inside his emporium so thanks for that VB 👍.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@JulianPerry-r4k Your welcome!

[@Timothy-ns4qn]

Terrific little tour and blast from the past. Bikes that had so much character and style. And yet simple beasts without the wizbangery of todays bikes. May Andy live forever..

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Timothy-ns4qn He is 72 now and will probably work till the end!

[@GTMarmot]

Very interesting place

[@dungspreader]

My New Years resolution was to not buy any more bikes .😮 And then you make this video of Andy's Eye Candy 😢. Mr Brown you are incorrigable person of dubious intent , you've got me thinking about a prewar bike again . Darn it ! 😂

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@dungspreader Not guilty me lud! You shouldn't make new years resolutions like that, Get up to Anydy's and get one of those pre war bikes bought! You know you want to !!

[@paulsilson2148]

Fantastic bikes, and fantastic video

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@paulsilson2148 Thanks!

[@robgerety]

Love it.

[@jonathanmellish4439]

From what I’ve seen watching their videos, the bikes seem pretty well sorted so you shouldn’t get a dud.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@jonathanmellish4439 Having worked there for 27 years, (Every winter) Every bike go's out a lot better than when it came in!

[@Triumph_2000]

At 21:17 a rather humorous nickname for a panther lol

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Triumph_2000 Big Pussy and little Pussy, ie Heavyweight and light weight Panthers!

[@Triumph_2000]

@Volcanicbrown1878 well done mate keep it up.

[@williamnethercott4364]

Nice! Helps to explain why some people complain about not being able to find pistons - Andy's got 'em all! I bought my AJS from Andy a couple of years ago and I subscribe to Peter Ranson's channel. Great to see what he has in stock.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@williamnethercott4364 The stock is constantly changing on a daily basis. Bikes come and go so fast there it's a job to keep track!

[@JedBrady-q8r]

Enjoyed the video, I bought a BSA B33 from Andy about 25 years ago and it's still going strong !!. My latest bike is a brown and chrome 350 royal enfield.....roll on the spring.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@JedBrady-q8r I'l second that! Roll on spring!

[@richardyardley5127]

What an amazing video and some very special memories for you. So great these bikes are being kept alive. Thank you for sharing this 🙂

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@richardyardley5127 My pleasure!

[@Bob-xc2us]

There is a lot of history in that shop. Thank you for taking us along. That Buell looks a touch out of place. BJ

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Bob-xc2us When he buys large collections of bikes, there are often "Odd" bikes included as part of the collection, so he gets them and knocks them out cheap! It's often a condition of sale that he buys ALL the bikes in the collection.

[@martinowl]

A nice tour around Andy’s shop. Enjoyed it. He has some wonderful machines for sale.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@martinowl I think he is the largest classic bike dealer left in the UK

[@m00nscaping76]

Yes, very enjoyable content, ..... thank you.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@m00nscaping76 Glad you enjoyed!

[@Ridin1963]

Bought my old Panther from Andy, brilliant shop and nice guy to deal with. Another great video, thank you

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Ridin1963 Ypur welcome!

[@mred7030]

lovit

[@Sugar.Cube195]

Brilliant content can’t beat the classics

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Sugar.Cube195 Thanks! Your right!

[@colincraig6269]

much thanks for the tour Volcanic, very interesting, sure don't have anything like this on Vancouver Island

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@colincraig6269 Very few places left like this, anywhere!

[@SteveBernard42]

Cracking video. Takes me back to my yoof! Such a shame so many of proper old bike shops are now a distant memory…

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@SteveBernard42 ~That's why I film there, so we can look back at how things used to be!

[@davemitchell7734]

Nice to see a place that can still make individual parts as and when needed. Most garages in earlier times used to have at least a pillar drill and quite often a small centre lathe at the back of the shop. These days, most places are just bought in part changers. Shame.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@davemitchell7734 That's the way of the world!

[@mickhardstaff6605]

They are all nice bikes Mr Brown, but nothing compares to your Connie.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@mickhardstaff6605 I don't actually have a Connie !!

[@kennethheldreich6604]

Great video, a proper aladins cave, it must be a pleasure going to work in a job like that, so knowledgeable so much to think about and do,fantastic place 😉🏍🇬🇧👍

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@kennethheldreich6604 It is! In the 27 years I worked there, never a dull moment!

[@thepipesmokingbeekeeper8917]

Nice one Must be difficult to keep your wallet in your pocket when you’re there

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@thepipesmokingbeekeeper8917 I just leave my wallet there!

[@andymoore683]

Such a shame that since Brexit it's unaffordable to import brit bikes in to Spain where i live 😢

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@andymoore683 Andy still sells a good few bikes into Spain. One ex pat comes over and buys between 3 and 5 bikes every 6 months or so. The cheapest option is to drive over in a van and collect.

[@jobucklandbuckland8031]

amazing place , Sister has just moved to Ipswich so a free B and B when the weather improves and some touring around the Suffolk countryside and interesting places Andys and Dave Silvers a must stop on the list

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@jobucklandbuckland8031 Dave Silver's museum is pretty cool, He must have about one of every bike that Honda made!

[@markpercy4277]

Fantastic place, great to see many of them with sold labels

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@markpercy4277 Around 10 - 15 bikes a week come and go!

[@lyndenhodder5655]

Congratulations Mr Brown, joint 8th place in a KZbin motorcycle channel poll, not bad, and you almost quit, but I think we are really happy you didn’t ..

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@lyndenhodder5655 Hmmm, a dubious honour no doubt!

[@Thruxtonrider21]

Some beautiful machines ❤

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Thruxtonrider21 They just heep turning up!

[@Phiyedough]

I would love that BSA V twin!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Phiyedough Well, it's for sale!

[@stewy62]

Certainly the antidote to sterile modern motorcycle dealerships

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@stewy62 You pay for all that!

[@thewanderin_rider]

I really hope these places survive into the future. They’re what it’s all about 😊. I do like the look of that little triumph with the colour matched hard luggage. It caught my eye because I don’t recall, I far I can remember, ever seeing an old Brit set up like that. Very nice.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@thewanderin_rider Infortunately, this one won't, There is nobody to take over the business when he has gone. Andy is the buisness.

[@thewanderin_rider]

It’ll be terrible shame, but I get it. The classic/vintage world needs places like this. It’s having someone with all the knowledge to go with it though.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

I think the Bonnie at 3.15 is a very rare Special Edition from 1981 known as the ' Royal Wedding ' ( Charles & Diana ) T140 and basically a posh T140ES , with the Lester wheels, TSS brakes . Also , one of the very last models out of Meriden .I have a T140ES that a mate bought new in 1981 and these were available at the time.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@Roger.Coleman1949 Exactly what it is! one of 150 made!

[@ruahinesrider]

Love that Trident take that home.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@ruahinesrider I know the guy that owned all those shiney Triumphs. Money was no object when he restored them!

[@RockerMark]

Some lovely bikes, I’m glad I have no more room! 😂

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@RockerMark There is always more room!!

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

For some reason I hit like before I watch.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@deltabluesdavidraye I don't mind!!

[@zedcharlie]

Andys videos are so unpredictable!! 😂😂 getting a bit crowded on the test route now. Cars parked everywhere.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@zedcharlie All the yuppies eating their £40 lunches in the pub!

[@shauntaylor9251]

All that racking reminds me of upstairs in Revett's in Ipswich

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@shauntaylor9251 Very similar! I spent a lot of time upstair's at Revetts in the parts dept when I was running a couple of Triumph's!

[@stevenwatsham5973]

I am pleased that I have no more room.. otherwise I would be very seriously tempted by one of the Thunderbolts..

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@stevenwatsham5973 That's never stopped me!!

[@johnimmins7302]

Your a bit of a tease VB taking us to Andy Tiernans, That lovely Velocette interested me but they are expensive.👍

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@johnimmins7302 Velo's never were a cheap bike!

[@stevepage2541]

Yaarrgh,did I spot an Ariel 3,at around 13.40? Here It Is,Whatever It Is! 😊

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@stevepage2541 You did! Yes, that was the slogan next to the cardboard dolly bird pointing at it in the dealer showrooms!!

[@astrozombie989]

If I had a shop like that near me I’d be broke and happy 😂

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@astrozombie989 I do and I am!

[@jim.bambury]

You haven't changed one bit! What a place! He should charge an admission fee.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@jim.bambury Well, he says he is not a museum! I haven't changed a bit in my mind, the mirror says otherwise!

[@martytoal6547]

If I win a few ££ I know where I’m going,

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@martytoal6547 The pub? Bookies? LOL!
