Matlock Bath huge biker turnout Feb 24th 2019

[@frazerlove9076]

Nice video, Matlock doesn't seem to have changed very much, takes me back 30 years when my mates and I would ride from Arnold on our LC's flat out on the kimberly bypass, Micron expansion chambers blaring trying not to get pulled over by the cops proper two stroke hooligans we were. It was great all kinds of bikes all kind of aftermarket parts like a rolling showroom. Last time I was there was on my Katana 1000 maybe 1991 or 92 . Still have the Katana we relocated to a warmer climate now my weekend rides are to the Rock store on Mullholland and the Lookout cafe on the Ortega Hwy . Thanks for the video took me back to my youth and put a big smile on my face Keep up the good work, Stay safe.

Wow always amazes me how my little vids can be viewed around the world. In 81 / 82 I would be there on my RD250LC, think many of us were lucky to have made it through those years as we all rode those things flat out! No wonder they changed the learner rules soon after. Last year I had a company in London modify an XSR900 to resemble that 80's bike, seat, side panels and a Mars bar paint job so I'm still reliving my youth. You will probably recognise lots of the places in other vids on my channel but thanks for watching this, I'm very jealous of the warmer climate, think it's going to snow tomorrow here. Best wishes Richard

Nice video Mark, looks like a lovely place. Reminds me of the seaside like you were saying.

[@Banditmanuk]

Yep we are about as far as you can get from the seaside here so guess that's why folks like Matlock Bath. Peaks are a nice area to ride a motorbike.

[@MotoMichelle]

Agree 😃

[@TheMatlockBiker]

Just subscribed. I live in Matlock, Matlock Bank to be exact Well done on your correct and accurate explanations and descriptions of the area Stay safe....... 👍

[@Banditmanuk]

Thanks Ged, glad to have you on board. Looking forward to returning to your area once the restrictions ease and we can get back out on the bikes. 👍

i was going to go out that day round the peaks as i live in Sheffield however the wife gave me orders to start tidying up the garden :( i normally head through Rvielin then take the 57 down to Ladybower turning for bamford then hathersage then grindleford stopping of at the best place in town for a hot coffee and a burger which is whites spar shop at calver then through chatsworth , thanks for sharing mate :)

[@Banditmanuk]

It was last Sunday, I love riding in the Peaks, it's a ride north for me from Ashby de la Zouch. You will probably find lots of the previous vids are based up there. I can often be found at the Grindleford railway cafe, or the Yondermans near Monsal Head. Can not believe you missed riding on the warmest February day in history to do gardening! Luckily my wife rides a bike herself so I don't have those issues. Thanks for calling by the channel 👍

Sucker for having and obeying a stupid wife.

Nice video Buddy. We have had some great weather for the time of year. Managed to get a monster ride to Whitby in weekend before last. Here's hoping it gets better again soon :)

[@Banditmanuk]

Yep weather has resumed the standard crap damp cold stuff around here now! Some great riding over Whitby way👍👍. Thanks for the sub, really appreciate it.

[@adriantompson]

[@Banditmanuk]

Always great to get some decent winter riding in. Thanks again for calling by the channel 👍

[@OldManTony]

We’ve had some great biking days in February this year. I’m not surprised there were so many bikes in Matlock Bath! I stayed in Cromford a couple of years ago. The hotel was some kind of Christian retreat, but I got bed and breakfast for around £35!

[@Banditmanuk]

I like Cromford, think I want that house overlooking the mill pond. B&B for £35.... bargain 👍Thanks for calling by Tony

[@TomBartram-b1c]

I stayed in a place called Vic near Barcelona for a month and 13 degrees not a cloud in the sky is a typical winter's day there.

[@MotoMichelle]
