Love it or Hate it + tight filtering

A video I thought I lost from a while ago. The usual negative outlook and a rare sprinkle of joy here and there.
ALSO, in moving forward for the Ambulance, it put me into a yellow box junction which you are not allowed to stop in. After the ambulance had passed, the safest thing to do is check its clear and continue forward.

still find my self 8 years on binge watching baron, were ever you are i hope you are well.

[@pinhead1990]

Hey me too!! Hes uploading regularly on the other channel with Al and others on "44teeth"

[@Mr.Winston]

Same! 😁

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

I am subbed to so many british motovloggers that I know the layout of London by heart and I live in Australia. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

[@kalon360]

''Do you wanna hear my baby impression'' That had me chuckling

[@thewyj]

"I don't mind waiting for these things, pedestrians, whatever..." pmsl

[@AmamMcMam]

Watching all your old videos man, such a blast from the past!

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Baron, the comments are just about, just, as good as the vlog! Thank you I needed that today.

[@B2theEANZ]

I'm from Birmingham, and the "where's the tissue boxes? He must've lost them" almost had me spewing tea all over my laptop!

[@Camberwell86]

You're forgetting just how old England, and London in particular, actually are. We can't just shut it off for 24 weeks while we improve the roads. Or push a couple of 400-year-old buildings backwards so we can widen the roads and add another lane. We're just kinda stuck with what we've got, mate. =/ We were already overcrowded in the 1800s, hence the idea for the London Underground came in the 1830s, it was built in the 1850s and opened in 1863. Your comment is almost 200 years too late pal. =]

[@exjay252]

Love the filterage..especially the wrong side of the road, round the lorry type filterage....lovely!

[@Rhodiebert85]

Man I wish filtering like that was legal in Germany.

[@CossaAU]

by far one of the funniest/best bike vloggers out mate, keep it up ey mateee!

[@Gladwin514]

Certainly did not expect to hear a tremendous baby impression half way through this! Much love!

[@akadan]

I have learned so much about filtering just from your videos. I don't live in/around a busy city so I don't really do it that much, but from what I've picked up it's all about awareness, spacial awareness, making your presence known, and confidence. This helps on the few times I do pop into town on my bike! Usually it's just a toy! I also love double bloody deckers.

[@jamesfoo8999]

Love how you said "wing mirror" (I do too) given cars haven't had wing mirrors for decades, and you are on a bike, which have never had wings 😄

[@Nerezza1]

It's to come back to these old vids to see the GSXR and to see how much happier you are now. :)

[@1x1nDone]

I'm with him, as fun as those games are, do not expect them to be short, and do not expect yourself to be able to just "set down the controller" before you're done with em either

[@cpengwin]

In Paris not only the bikes but the cars (and vans if they can manage it) will follow ambulances in a little line... When I went to Paris for two weeks and had 2 (minor) accidents... even though I was doing very little driving

[@IBcnz]

i always get exited when i hear the little intro jingle :D

[@triksta17]

Used to work just after those lights on carnaby street, and could see them from where I parked my bike. I used to try and time putting on all my gear and warming the bike so I rolled through a green to save being stationary for long enough to feel utter rage. It's a small thing but like you say there is no need! Love the videos by the way, subscribed a few months back and have been looking forward to new uploads ever since. Keep it up!

[@kevintaylor9330]

We have 2 sets of lights like that near me. The council's reasoning is that if they stop people at the light it stops the intersection getting clogged. My argument is that the intersection could just as easily become clogged when the light turns green and due to the stream of waiting traffic, it is more likely to happen. They don't have an answer to that.

[@soterman77]

VonGrumble strikes again! Excellent video, excellent grumbling! Keep it up!!!

[@bradleyd271]

I thank you for that 5 extra minutes because your video always make me laugh, and it also show me there are idiots all over the world driving cars.

[@weemadjim3481]

If the junction controlled by the lights has a straight on lane, and a separate right filter lane, controlled by two sets of lights on the board, when the Green appears on the main set of lights, making progress in the right filter lane is acceptable even if the filter lights are red. If ive got that right? Highway code, point 177. ' green filter arrow. indicates a filter lane only.do not enter lane unless you wish to proceed in that direction. you may proceed in the direction of the arrow when it, or the full green light shows.'

[@6Twisted]

Using the horn to let drivers know you're there seems logical, but if it was myself, I'd think someone was complaining about something. Most people only use their horns in anger.

[@shellmeister949]

makes sense like but it needs to be done in a busy place like London

[@BobbyDazlerRS]

Rule 112 - highway code. 'The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively.'

[@Nox1234567891011]

Rule 112 yea that been broken alot me MOVE YOUR FING ASS............horn !

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@Nox1234567891011 Yep, in most cases that is alerting them that you are there at the same time so it's okay.

[@cwizard03]

You are the king of filtering. You should run filtering courses. Hope you have a great Christmas and a Fantastic New Year. Ride Safe !!

[@parkinator0beta]

Thanks for mentioning Marmite, I had a ad for it at the end lol.

[@1x1nDone]

Hey Baron, just stumbled across these videos on complete accident. I love Bike Vloggers, and you're one of the best i've seen man! Such gentlemanly riding, lmao. Can't wait to check out more of your stuff mate

[@bootstrapbe4]

In answer to the light - because they can't guarantee the road will be clear, ie. the straight on the opposite way is on green. They actually make it better by making the left turn and straight on the way your coming from on green whilst the straight on and left the other way is green rather than one of the other.

[@brindleyjohnson5098]

i think i have just found my new favorite moto vlogger

[@Mathewmartialart]

the nick name "comparethemarket" springs to mind when listening to your voice lol

[@KarlitoJackson]

I cant believe I haven't found your channel earlier, great stuff.

[@1x1nDone]

I want one really badly as well. Well that's awesome, hopefully Baron catches a few of my subscribers

[@1450shunter]

Christmas lights by marmite, love it or hate it, pmsl, what a classic.

[@3doorpete]

Another great vid - LOL at the extreme filtering - you'll be manning up and going around keep lefts the wrong way next - you know it makes sense.

[@McGriddle69]

In America they have a flashing yellow saying if no one is coming you can go....now that's on left turns which would be the equivalent of the British right turn

[@AMorgan57]

You should invent a single-track ambulance. It could be set up as a series of hitched cars, like a train, with a driver up front and a cat riding in a caboose to steer the back end. The cars inbetween could be gyroscopically balanced. The patient would be strapped onto a lowboy, with IVs dangling above. EMTs could ride on swingarms mounted on cars fore and aft, so they can attend the patient. The cat could have a collar with a bell on it.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Was literally just talking about stop light planning 30 minutes ago. But, in Vegas, because of how many 'accidental' accidents they've had, their intersections only permit one side, of the four, to go at a time. And, to add insult to injury, each turn is allotted about 2 minutes. So, at every intersection, there's a potential to wait 6 minutes before you can proceed, even when there's only light or no traffic. When you're in it, it's the STUPIDEST thing.

[@user-lm7nt7ri6k]

haha so many things you say make me laugh, the barclay bike, "can i fit between this bus?" (in the camp voice) then swearing but bleeping it out hehahaaaaaaaaa

[@Garrysmodiswin]

I don't live in London and never been there, But I assume it means the the the arrow applies to the light set above it, So the arrow is just a street sign that tells users that the right traffic light is for those who want to move right, So people don't get confused between the light to go forward as their time to turn.

[@bludgerable]

when you said it's a gold nissan micra, i cringed and i felt shivers down my spine

[@Sodr7]

no you take your hand of the clutch, if you need your front and back brake then you always have control over how fast you move when the hand covers the brake and the throttle.. that's for while moving

[@ausguitarist]

i feel like I know London after watching your videos. the area looks so familiar after watching your channel lol

[@woolstonman]

jeez u come along way since you first started vlogging good to see and why not your vids and humour are very entertaining i tend to get bored of a lot of other guys channels but u keep it fresh just makes me sad i aint got my bike no more till next year ohh well

[@TopGearrules]

3:39 My mum came through at that point and thought I was watching something inappropriate...

[@zedex93]

love the filtering

[@adameverest4715]

Your baby impression has me wheezing 😂😂😂😂👊

[@dbauernf]

Listening to your commentary is like hearing my own thoughts as I watch the video. It's amazing how similar the way we think is. :-)

[@BikerLordCarnage]

Great baby impression! Bettered only by your Robert Webb impression ;-) Can you do any other impressions/accents?

[@LERSEable]

if your obstructing an emergency sevice on a blue light call, box or not, you are allowed to go through a red light to let it pass, as long as you feel its safe to do so..

[@superpoluha1]

These videos are fantastic, even if you think this lacks in quality, its fucking fantastic. I think you should put out more content, personally.

[@shrory]

Here in Canada, we have to pull over and come to a stop on a two lane highway,(bothways) to allow the Emrg vehicle to pass

[@beetleything1864]

Whenever i saw ambulances in central london- i would always think -glad they are not coming for me - so slow. A lot of your riding - i think you don’t realize how fast a bike is compared to a car - your on them before they realize it. People to, when crossing.

[@ALLWEATHERRIDERM]

I have seen those planning maps in London, they say we are gonna make this section a pain in the rear so BVG can Grumble some more about this here. True!

[@johndoe-rp3hz]

Listen Baron. You're big on change. Contact the traffic planning board and make a formal complaint using your video as proof for making that right turn at the intersection. You even have it timed! Perfect. It might serve you well and give us an episode or two as to the outcome. Good for some extra ranting and raving. Plus you'll bolster your philosophy about changing things for the better.

[@percussionguy1992]

Hiya Baron, I've been following your video's for a while now and they are absolutely brilliant. I am from Holland, but currently residing in the UK. Since you're always going on about the 'Double Bloody Decker' I though I'd give one a try. My question is: How do you eat the bloody things? The stuff inside is so... stretchy/gumlike/I don't know what to call it, it is almost impossible to bite a piece off. Cheers!

[@LankyLee]

I love your videos so much its unreal

[@neeekneek]

I spat my marinated chicken out at your baby impression. Hilarious and disturbing at the same time.

[@C0mm3n]

I don't even ride a bike, but I love watching his videos...funny guy...funny guy!

[@lscott7836]

I was expecting to hate this, I always worry about bikes scratching my new car and winced at some parts. It was just so funny though! :P

[@abdulyamin7952]

At the red light that takes ages you could go straight then do a u turn and turn left into the street your trying to go down I think that might save you some time

[@5tevieb954]

Would this have worked Chris?

[@Blahde]

Nice job getting through town mate. Gotta do what ya gotta do. Having an Ambulance running blocker is win btw and yea, SOooooo tempting ;-)

[@TheCorrectionTroll]

Baron Seriously has a really good radio voice for adverts and shit

[@bullseatpizza]

Baron, what do you like about motorcycling in general? For me it has to be the fun and pleasure from it and the filtering.

[@mrkellyhansen]

Complaining about red right turn arrows. This guy is the British version of Adam Carolla. Love it.

[@WheelsNotHeels]

What a rush watching you filter...some super tight spots! And I wear earplugs, too, for so many reasons.

[@tehswerver]

probably not a lot in it but you could go straight on at piccadilly up shaftesbury ave, then up wardour street - might be quicker than waiting at those lights.

[@MegaRyoNo]

Wow that really was some tight filtering! if i could filter like that id be happy

[@MR92075]

That's the best baby impression i've heard in a long time!

[@SaltyTank07]

Videos like this make me miss London. Actually I miss British breakfast right now. LOL Some beans, blood sausage, and eggs...

[@Mikesmotorbike]

nice video yet again :P the extreme filtering was pretty good, I probably wouldn't have thought of it! It's funny seeing roads that I've ridden down on your videos, you never know I might even end up riding past you like Danny did.

[@biohazard4411]

that baby impresion was legit

[@Monacosuper]

When are you uploading a new video? I love your work!

[@DarkpumA787]

wow there are some really amazing supercars just driving around.

[@dbauernf]

Also.. every time I listen to your rants.. you remind me about SVEN. :-( RIP man..

[@Schraap299]

You sir, you are a genius

[@pearlygti]

Baby impression!? sounded more like Kenneth Williams just before he delivers his "happy face" at climax! lol

[@zzzzz31a]

Barron I'm sure if your turning right you can wait inside the yellow box. Yeh yeh I know it's not applicable in this case but I just thought I better point it out. Merry Christmas Barron & family.

[@14KShadow]

7:22 Where is this lambo? It's like playing where's Wally

[@Lockguard]

I found it! It's driving in front of the taxi in the right lane. At 7:25 you can see it braking at the crosswalk :)

[@14KShadow]

Lockguard You sir could be a where's Wally Champion!

[@MotorbikeVlogger]

Hashed area had a broken line meaning you can enter if safe to do so. That 'safe to do so' is of course subjective, but unless you cause others to change their course then I can't see you being pulled up, unless your doing it all the time and your general riding is showing non consideration for others. Being on the phone is not what I would call a small law. Its one that (in my opinion) isn't dealt with tough enough. What do you think the drivers attention was on. The phone or the road?

[@miroshimaAM]

Finally, a mystery solved! I've been wondering about that for quite a while now but always thought it was a stupid question to ask.

[@MotorbikeVlogger]

Hmm... I don't think I would have gone against that Red light after the ambulance. The safest thing is to wait until your green. You can stop in the yellow box - the rule is not to enter unless your exit is clear. I appreciate everyone is different however.

[@LogicalDesigner]

It's not half term till Friday Baron! Late finish this year mate! Safe driving buddy

[@MrFenwayfool]

Love the videos, Baron. I live outside of Boston so I have a stupid question for you. What's up with all the zig-zag lines on the roads in your videos? Drunken road crews?

[@captainwho5128]

We have those "On The Run" stations here in the US too.

[@JamieBthe2nd]

Liking the mirror cam. 👌

[@cowtipper84]

Baron von baby... freaky dude freaky.

[@xKaNtOzz]

Hey Baron i have a question? Do you want "Von" pronounced as a "v" or "f"? Btw I'm thankful for you making these awesome videos! :D

[@TheSpeckyNerd]

I was watching a Police Blue Light run, when approaching traffic lights the instructor said to turn off the sirens. It puts unwanted pressure on drivers ahead that are waiting at a red light. The idea, is to avoice the situation you had by encouraging drivers to go through the red light and then carry on like you did. Can be highly dangerous, but obv this wasn't the case in your situation and the abm didn't turn off the sirens... Public Services can be confusing sometimes! Ride Safe! :D

[@benkiki87]

I can't be mistaken. That is a underbone/moped at 04:53 kind of bike I ride, mine's is a two stroke 125.

[@throckmorton3705]

cool to learn that you use earplugs. i do too, at least on long rides or anything over 70 mph.

[@SPORKoDEATH]

In the town near my house we have really stupid traffic lights like that too. But you know whats the best part? The town is roughly 3 miles end to end and there is 15 sets of traffic lights. 15!

[@liam1666]

thats a very intresting new view from the drift on you wing mirror

[@ChiefAlegre]

Oh man, this is hilarious - I don't know about elsewhere, but I've got Barcaly's ads showing up on my screen atm. I tried to post a link to a screen capture I made, but it seems I'm unable to post links in comment boxes.

[@mathewrolls]

hi baron i really liked 2:38 to about 3:04 because it was pretty "informational" (lol) and its a nice feel to see/hear what you are thinking as you are riding on the roads in these situations, nice video mate :)

[@NeilsIn]

For some daft reason, I was convinced you lived up norf landan; much to my dismay we stomp similar grounds. Castlenau seemed quite empty at the time you were travelling, was that AM?... was it bank holiday? ...was it post zombie apocalypse AM and bank holiday? :P

[@TubeGeekGamer]

How many years did it take you to learn how to filter like you do ??, also ever had any small knocks while filtering ?

[@Utilizzarre]

The baby impression... I'm scarred

[@CraigFyfe]

loving the extreme filtering! brilliant haha

[@TheSpeckyNerd]

Think i have the same problem. The nights never change for a right turn on the dual carrageway, on the the way home i have to wait for a car as well -.-

[@troyboy986]

It amazes me how you guys filter over there with such narrow lanes.
