[@Steve-wy1rj]

Me too! This channel and that bike is what made me get my arse in gear and get off a Scooter onto a big bike!

[@samuelgillard2196]

Wow, 10 years. I remember I'd just left my girlfriend, moved to my new pad and was watching your vids sitting on a blow up... chair 😉 I think yours was the first channel I subbed to. Your vids got me through a difficult time Chris and I still love them. Glad to see her back... enjoy!

Still on your blow up chair?? ...or like BVG, are you willing to re-purchase it??

That's exactly what my wife does!

[@Mr.Winston]

10 years.. A decade.. holy shit. I remember when I started watching your videos Chris. I was like 23, newly single and I didn't even own a bike back then. Although I'd always wanted one. I remember binge watching all your videos, you ranting your way to and from old London town was hilarious! So much has changed in my own life since then, good to look back and appreciate it. I did a solo trip in 2018 to Barcelona to watch the F1, stopped in Paris for 3 nights beforehand and did a load of cycling tours, winebar tour, art museum tours, I met loads of people mainly *because* I was on my own, people in the groups were asking me where I was going next etc. and how cool it was to travel on your own, totally your own schedule. It taught me not to be scared of trying it and that I *can* depend on myself and that I am a half decent mechanic when needed. So I now understand why you did your solo trip, I got a lot out of mine. I met other bikers at fuel stations, cafes, anywhere and everywhere having proper hour long conversations sometimes! Good memories and I will do it again but I have more friends now who always want to come on trips with me and they don't get why I'd go alone.. I always just tell them to try it and then they'll get it. Love your videos Chris and the walking in the morning. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. Please keep doing it.

[@kelseyhoward8482]

Out of curiosity, what did you tour on?

[@Mr.Winston]

@@kelseyhoward8482 my old KTM 1190R. Great bike, loads of power and room to take some decent kit and tools etc.

[@elarr8733]

Takes an experienced hand on the throttle to hold a steady 44mph like that, no matter what.

[@QBallRacing]

hahahahaha,....

[@ryancottom6633]

The Tour De Baron series is how I found your channel, and what made me an instant fan of yours. I can’t wait to see the 10 year reunion to Barcelona. Also, it would be awesome to see the old Suzuki freshened up a bit. She deserves some love and attention. Thanks for all the amazing videos, Chris.

[@MotoLocoYT]

Same here, it was a pure binge watch and I laughed all the way through

[@russellbrowning2732]

Same for me

[@eddiefara]

cannot believe i’ve been watching bvg for a decade! this bike has so many memories attached even for me can only imagine how many you must have. very glad to see it back

[@donavanventer2979]

The green lane video was how i found this channel. Chris your videos got me through many difficult times. Grateful for the journey.

[@CompSciGuy2]

So this is basically 18min 47s of watching a man fall in love with a machine all over again: love it!

[@mattmutane5502]

Chris, having experience of still having my 1st "proper" bike that I did "everything" on (I bought it in 1999 new and still have it, it's been "most places", it's now my 2nd bike and semi-retired), I'd say leave it standard (fix the rear shock/clutch switch etc. obvs), so it retains the character that you bought it back for! :)

[@vpweber]

100% same deal with my 89 CBR600, Matt!

[@Shaft0]

Im doing the same. CBR954.. bought a second one when the first died. Second one's mint, staying stock and mint. First one -> complete borderline street legal rebuild/mods.

[@mattmutane5502]

@@vpweber My '89 CBR600 was one of my most favourite bikes ever! Shame it got stolen from outside work in 1995... might still have it otherwise... :(

[@lovelessissimo]

I think we can all agree it's always nice to be back on an old friend.

[@TheTactical6string]

Im still running the Drift Ghost HD I bought because of you. The video is still fine and the twisting lens is still one of the best designs .

[@AndrewB416]

Now all we need is a video of you filtering in London and I'll be full on warm and fuzzy nostalgic.

[@gregwooller600]

The off roading video was the first one of yours I saw. Can’t believe it was 10 years ago. Double bloody decker!!

[@Chunkychucky]

Great to see the K7 back, although shocking omission of not going for the ultimate throwback with a Double BLOODY Decker!

[@mikebannerman72]

Awww BVG and Chopsey, what a combo! Chris I’d love you to talk about how we find ourselves in a climate of not being able to ask anyone a question without getting made to feel you’re attacking them and why no one is allowed an opinion unless it conforms.

[@Paul-cf9op]

Love the rant video’s. Best one was I think it was a BMW and you called it a Dumble door or Gryffindor c-hunt 🤣 proper went into one I don’t think I have ever laughed so much I was crying 🤣. Congrats on getting the gsxr back 👏👏.

[@mauroftw]

I took my license and bought a gsxr 600 k8 after watching your videos many many years ago. I miss that bike 😓

[@stevofoz]

I've sold so many bikes that I would love to buy back, I can genuinely feel your happiness at getting the green-lane gixxer back! Congrats Chris!

[@Levent_Ergun]

This bike brings out many memories about your videos. I remember what you were going through 10 years ago and now looking back, it is impressive to see how well you handled all those ups and downs in your life. Thanks for keeping us around through all of it.

[@zacseaton1301]

this bike & videos was one of the main reasons I gave up catching the train and got a bike licence to commute 10+ years ago, thanks for the times man

[@Mike_P646]

Even just the Bvg intro music makes me smile, never change Chris 👊

[@jock678]

Glad to see you came back with a fresh outlook. Just get the shock done and leave it as is., nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia. I'm pretty sure you could think of something to moan about on a ride into London without our help👍

The sound of a happy voice, priceless.

Early Baron on the Gixer coincided with me moving away from the UK. I binge watched all your videos to reminisce all those lovely twisty back roads around Alton. And the epic moaning and rants were a bonus, thank you.

[@HerbertLongrod]

Please never change this bike or yourself. Been on your journeys since the start..That bike is as big of a reason as the entertainment you bring. Well done Chris.

[@wretchedrider2157]

Outstanding, sir, glad she's back. Watched this bike through the good old pre-nutty/COVID world, early 2k13 was when I first subbed to BVG. The old gal still seems to bring out the best in you, too! Be well, Christophé.

[@Craig17g]

I’ve just come back to your vids after ages. Didn’t realise you were still going. I remember the old green lane incident, and also how good your vids are

The OG bike is Back with the Legendary Baron. Keep it cool and old school. Enjoy it for what it is. I enjoy your videos and good to see your doing well.

[@sullybiker6520]

I watched many hours of you on this bike trundling around London, and that lovely European tour. Glad you got the old girl back.

[@JohnMichael0226]

In disbelief it has been 10 years since I clicked on a reddit post about, "British guy yells at traffic" or something like that. Glad to see you got the ol' girl back. You should know I have no interest in motorbikes other than being a gear head (USA) and stuck around as you have a very enjoyable personality. I've especially liked your recent posts about mental health, we need more guys to talk about it! Cheers to 10 more years, can't wait for the memories if you choose to share them!

[@jong6578]

Jizzy jizzy bang bang! Glad to see the old girl back congrats man. 10 years and I still enjoy watching you bang about without a purpose and shooting the shit.

[@dazr123]

Do not cut the footage with no sound it is great to just watch riding in new scenery ,also a series on rebuilding/renewing the front end/shocks on the mighty GSXR would be a interesting watch for many with older bikes,surely some manufacturer/supplier would support it ? You could do a before & after track day &/or longer ride ,tour to show the difference as too many put up with handling issues on older bikes instead of sorting it. Great to have you back & where did that 10yrs go ???You do not give yourself enough credit ,that bike talk you did about depression on the ride into London all those years ago was life changing for me & a couple of mates l showed it too.Bloody good stuff

[@paulie2026]

[@the3rddecline]

Ah, did this make me smile. I love jumping on my old 1st gen ZX10R, listen to the airbox noise and toodle along in top gear.. and break out in a giggle when it revs out in second or third gear. Fucking hell, I remind myself then, these old bikes are still so fast. Great having you back!

[@mrcrankyank]

Love stories like this. You definitely sound recharged after Europe too, good to hear!

[@PaulGSXR]

I started watching the channel 10 years ago shortly before doing my CBT, and this bike is the reason why I bought a K7 1000 when I passed my full licence. Sold it a couple of years ago and regret it massively!

[@chrisharding7258]

Topic….. Potholes It’s great to hear the Baron (solo) again. The series you done when you rode to Europe for a track event (I can”t remember where) on this bike, when you left home in the snow, was one of the inspirations to get me back into bikes. I’ve now got a gen1 KTM 1290GT 👍

[@randomizationdrills5372]

Yes, yes and yes! I’m loving this resurgence! Fellow gixxer bro here(k5) and I remember watching your commute videos all those years ago. I’m looking forward to both series you’ve mentioned! Also, how about a commute to London on the k7 talking about the status of 44 teeth. A behind the curtain look as it were. Definitely sort out the suspension, and have you added steel brake lines yet? Those will help the brakes.

[@GoinDownhill361]

Glad to see the old girl back home! I'd leave as it is. Fix the suspensions, and other niggly little things that it may need, and enjoy it.

[@Wolfman1250s]

Highly nostalgic Baron. The green lane vid is stuff of legend and the tour de baron series are still up there with the best trip vids on KZbin. Feels like I’ve been watching your channel for ages, I guess 10 years is ages!

Happy you got the Suzuki back. There is something special about older non electronic stuff bikes. As my second bike (now) I have a 2000 ZX12R that I rebuilt and did a ton of upgrades to, rides like a sweet and naughty dream... I do love my V4S but the ZX12R is just another kind of animal..

Endurance tank, adjustable clip on, and a full fitring to your condition with a suzuki guru. Something like you did with the yamaha r1. Is so cool to listen to the input of these well versed guys on what should be the "correct" way to achieve a propper performance. I'll not decharacterize this bike, is such a statement of suzuki that almost deserves some pro treat. Imho.
