Central London Ride: Pulled by the Police!

[@humanityunites2464]

These police men were not only professional but also very polite. Bad policing by handful of bent cops should not tarnish good policing.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed - Top policing I reckon!

[@petercrane2065]

Three years or more ago they were the boys in Blue, Although that has changed they are now the boys in Black and the wear a blacked out Union Flag! Whats that about?

[@ULSTERISBRITISH]

unfortunately though those type of officers are more and more in short supply

[@marcustrevor1883]

@@petercrane2065 A full colour union flag isn't particularly in keeping with a uniform. I think they look more professional in black (although full black is armed police I think) and the black union flag matches the uniform.

I lived in Europe for the last 4-5 years & London was one of my favourite cities to visit. Always found London police officers to be courteous, helpful & friendly. Missing Europe, but the riding weather is a bit nicer home here in Australia. Love the channel. Thanks for the great videos.

[@matthewjones3395]

SigneM-Prut#1 I would say stopping a motorcyclist endangering his life or someone less is a good use of policing - get a grip

[@i.i.iiii.i.i]

SigneM-Prut#1 What difference does it make if someone crosses a red light crashes into a car and kills all the people in it, compared to a terrorist who kills a few people before he gets shot? Innocent people died in both cases and that's why the police should also care about other dangers than "criminals and terrorists"....

[@matthewjones3395]

SigneM-Prut#1 how is saying that the police do a good job of policing by looking after motorists is any way supporting terrorists or criminals - get a grip

[@Scousefire]

Really had to comment on this video, how refreshing to watch someone clearly enjoying riding about the roads taking in the sights, and then when dealing with the Police for both parties to be so pleasant and respectful to each other. Delightful change from the usual aggression and anti-Police on KZbin. Keep up the good work and travelling about on your bike, well done sir.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Andy - politeness costs nothing and why do so many bike VLOGers feel they have to swear??? Beats me.....

[@skiddliddandy2666]

TheMissendenFlyer I was just about to say the same thing, most vlogers are just riders going ballistic at motorists when most of the time its silly little mistakes that could easly be shrugged off and to be fair they usually edit out there mistakes. Your a really pleasant chap buddy. PS On another one of your vids I mentioned that you had a voice fr radio, have you done that line of work before?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Skidd Lidd Andy Thanks Andy, I'm pleased to hear you think that (p'raps you can tell the wife!!) ...and yes, when I was a young lad at college I worked part time for BBC Radio and had plans about that maybe being my future......sadly my liking for decent pay killed that idea!!

[@ArronAdams1990]

Couldn't have said that any better

[@royaljordanian]

Just stumbled on this, very nice vid. I have seen endless people go through that Red light without knowing, I guess they wanted to reduce the road markings as much as they can because it's the Mall. As for the cops, that's how 99% of them are.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hey RJ - Great to have you along, I feel honoured!!! ...and feel slightly vindicated as I don't appear to be the only one that has fallen foul of that particular junction.....and yes I agree, be reasonable and most policemen are reasonable back in my (luckily limited) experience.....love your work man!! All the best - TMF

[@alanbrown397]

It's not the road markings that's the problem. It's the confusing traffic lights. Someone at TFL needs a chainsaw enema.

[@deeceeluton]

the Mall is not a public highway, it is part of a Royal Park which is why there are no zebra crossings or lane markings. The Royal Parks Constabulary are in charge here.

[@MrHabushi]

Not any more, it's been MPS since the Parks Police were abolished.

[@BasherBrookes]

A bit late to the ball, but... those lights have been changed now and left turn and forward go at the same time. But yeah, it was a stupid phasing before. As an aside... great to see london how it used to be before all these poxy cycle lanes haha

[@coyoluo]

And those are PROPER POLICEMEN....PROPER!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

AGREED

[@martinace]

[@Mochachinoexfk]

The police outside of London are all up their own arse from what I have worked out from being pulled over etc. Up North they're reasonable still but at the same time talk down to you like an idiot

[@1001Darkeyes]

Hi Well Depends where you are, and what officers you meet, I have always said if I have done nothing wrong, I have no problem. You have to remember the Low life they deal with on a day to day basses. they just nay be having a bad day! they see and deal with things that we just do not, so I always give a little to that thought. I do not have an attitude that helps to.:-)

[@MIGASHOORAY]

Mochachino the cops in Bradford DONT PAY THEIR BILLS.

[@beerreview5488]

The police bought in for matches demos and events are "London police " bought in for public order duties. The lower tolerance level maybe in response to the raised threat level

[@johnpersonage7220]

I rode the wrong way up Oxford Street in London many years ago in about 1980 or so when I was heading home. A cop waved me down so I stopped and as soon as he heard my Brummie accent he asked if I was from good old Brum. I said yes and he then directed me the best way to proceed the right way down the road with no drama whatsoever. Ah good times.

TheSushiFiend Hi SushiFiend - indeed (as per the other comment from y5jerry below) it was my first time riding in central London and to be fair I didn't pose any risk to the zebra crossing user - but I take your point, and that had I been on a bike test I would have failed. Thanks for watching anyway and pointing out the error of my ways. All the best - TMF.

[@thesushifiend]

TheMissendenFlyer Thanks for taking the comment in good humour. Seems to be a lost art these days. This is the first of your videos I've seen, but I see you also fly GA. I learned to fly in a PA28 at EGTF some years ago. Your commentary style is very BA though. Are you an airline pilot?

[@wysiwyg2006]

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you very much Ian!

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

I had to laugh. "Was it because of the U'ey?" It's probably not a good idea to mention something the cops may not have even seen before they tell you what they stopped you for. It tends to betray a guilty conscience. ;o) I was a Courier for a city firm based in Old Street for a number of years and the West End and central London were my daily Haunts. I remember well the terror I felt on my first day in that job. Apart from the fears of getting lost, losing a package and getting killed, there was the underlying anxiety of trying to stay out of the hands of the police as I negotiated roads I did not know, in one of the most congested cities in Europe. It still amazes me how pressure causes us to learn very quickly and by the end of the first week in that job, the only tangible fear that remained was trying not to get killed. Like you, I found the cops to be entirely reasonable and I never got a single ticket in six years. A few warnings now and then, but overall they were great and left us alone. They understood we had a job to do that was vital for Britain's trade and the nature of it meant were were forced to do stuff other road users did not have to do and would be stamped on if they did. Though it would be a bad idea to take that for granted, it did give us some leeway. For anyone reading this and planning their first trip into central London by bike or car, especially from abroad, a good tip is to check on a map -- not a GPS -- where you are headed and visualise it in terms of the compass. Are you headed generally North, South, East or West? Once you have that down, work out where you will be travelling in relation to the Thames. If the river is directly behind you, you will be heading North. If to your left, you are heading West and if to your right, you are going East on the North side of the river. Cross the river and keep it behind you and you are going South. Once you have that figured out, you just need to pick out some prominent landmarks along your route and look out for them. One thing we are pretty good at in this country is sign posting stuff. So you should not have too many problems. You will be amazed how fast you will learn what looks impossible to learn if you use this system. Enjoyed the video Bro. Thank you. [Quick edit] Just as an aside and a bit of trivia, do you know the Big Ben prayer? I think it is on a plaque inside the bell tower somewhere. Anyway, it goes like this and in time with the chimes: "All through this hour/ Lord, be my guide/ And by Thy power /No foot shall slide" Clearly a prayer the inhabitants of the Houses of Commons and Lords need to recite more often! Happy Christmas everyone and here's wishing you all a wonderful New Year. Toodles.

Fair play, i'm not and have to be a bit carefull in cities. Oddly enough, a lot of city folk baulk at the idea of tearing down country lanes at 90mph in the pitch black, mirrors brushing the raindrops from the overhanging trees and bike squirrelling over potholes and cowshit.

How cool the Police were so nice! Most of the times a traffic light would have a green arrow, but I guess London's different and confusing. Tourists wandering would be my biggest worry. They just walk straight on to the road and probably have a different view on the 'rules of the road'.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure thing - cheers for that, and thanks for watching - TMF

TheMissendenFlyer Cheers, The police get a lot of shit these days, but people forget that the police have to deal with some real fuckheads every day. I'd say 80% of cops are fair and decent people. People post vids where the police are shown to be ignorant of a law or something, but a policeman is not a judge or a solicitor, they don't know the law backwards, they know the basics and have to apply common sense where they have gaps. That's fair enough in my book.

[@jd2192]

I've avoided them since, but I'm wondering whether it would be feasible to ride down it with full beams or beep if If someone begins to indicate.. you never had any problems along them?

I ride in bus lanes all the time, if there ain't taxis, motorbikes or buses in them there's cyclists, bad form on her part not to look properly but then people rarely do that's why I always take it easy in bus lanes

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I carry many spare batteries - card sizes vary I don't do huge incase a card corrupts, that way I minimise losses (I've learned the hard way)...

[@geraldswain3259]

First time I've enjoyed a bike riders video, where the participant has a complete and functional brain and knows how to use it!.most enjoyable.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Gerald - appreciated!

[@sapelesam]

Think yourself lucky that the bizzies were not behind you when you contravened zebra crossing regulations. You must not proceed over a crossing when a pedestrian is on it.

[@alanharvey9094]

He and everyone else knows that..... we all make mistakes, even you sunshine!

[@JohnDoe-up4gs]

you drive with courtesy and respect, royal Jordanian is just a lunatic.

[@wrothgar]

John Doe He's not a lunatic, just more comfortable in riding and wants to go fast haha. He even said other motorists are more skilled than him, shows he doesn't have much confidence in filtering. Good drivrt still though.

[@53531640]

thank you for the tour of London. I probably will never get the chance to travel there, but it doesn't matter now, as you have shown me all the sights.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well it's better in the flesh but glad I helped in some way!

[@Williamottelucas]

Thanks for showing me the scenery around Backingham Palace. I was last there in 1978!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure!

[@harveyroper5526]

Honestly who don't you cast formula one? Your voice is perfect for it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you - where do I sign? :0)

[@simonhartley5444]

I know David Croft, the guy who commentates on F1 personally, as I used to play village cricket with him every weekend. The team gave him the nickname ‘bins’ cos he always talked so much sh*t lol.

[@TheProgameslha]

Why cant all cops be as nice as them?

[@ULSTERISBRITISH]

if you've any sort of nice exhaust tone or engine grumble bike or car you HAVE TO give it a blip through a tunnel lol it should be the law, 😂😂😂😂

[@steveanderson461]

awesome refreshing video to watch, jolly nice guy and excellent officers as well, how refreshing. cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you!

[@Nareshkumar-et4ow]

More vid like this maybe after everything clears out or this maybe the perfect time to go around London without any traffic!!

[@MrAntonbasaran]

British Police thumps up

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+MrAnton I second that!

[@BHPBikesuk]

the rozzers were nice and fair I think :D

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed - great policing I reckon...

[@BHPBikesuk]

Todd Sadler true... worst bits are some bus lanes are good... some are not good

[@thatsgotmynameonit]

Decent Coppers .

[@2spoons]

Have to say after your moment of 'Morning Officer....', the roads aren't as laid out as I'm used too (though out the UK)... London is a bit special and has to cater for the mass of pedestrians/tourists (of all countries), but can't say I say I saw a sign (telling you of lanes and directions etc)... but you were very polite and the Offices too... so nice and off you went! Keep it up and I loved you ride down the Mall as I ran the VLM (Virgin London Marathon) in 2016 and it brought back plenty of memories

[@bigrigkiwi]

wow, so cool to see these sites the way you have shown them, just names of places and events i have heard over the years that now have a little meaning to them, and it is all so centralized, had no idea the heart of modern society was to be found in such a close proximity and those buildings are an absolute marvel, thank you, enjoy all your other content to, brilliant.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Very kind of you - thank you.....

[@keithdavies4860]

Absolutely brilliant I am blind, I have never done a sight seeing tour of London, and not been to London since I was a young boy when I came to catch a flight, it was fascinating to listen to your commentary and I hope to find someone to bring me one day soon, thank you look forward to another one soon please lol

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow thank you Keith - that is one of the best comments ever!! Thank you so much for listening and for stopping buy!

[@ceefaxbbctv8788]

What a brilliant well presented video. Very informative and interesting. London is an amazing place and I love how the coppers were so reasonable.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yep - textbook policing I reckon...

[@Tom.J.O]

I see videos on here of people automatically go into defensive, argumentative mode when talking to the police. But this is a great example of how making a genuine mistake and just admitting it can lead to the police giving a reasonable response to the matter. I personally experienced something similar a few months ago. I was driving down an unfamiliar road and overtook a police vehicle on a roundabout which I entered from a dual carriageway without realising that the road ahead was a single lane. I was pulled over for doing so but I just apologised and explained myself and I had a good chat with the officer who was very pleasant and allowed me to carry on. The British trafic cops aren't bad guys as long as you don't try to start an argument with them for just doing their job.

[@scottscott232]

What an excellent excellent video. An informative tour of London - by motorcycle, a really cool guy, and absolutely fantastic police. That's why I love being a Brit and living in London.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+steve randall Thank you Steve, very kind of you (I've never been "a really cool guy" before so I'm a little shocked!!!)....

[@scottscott232]

You're riding a Triumph; just that alone makes you cool. But you just had a very easy chilled attitude about you throughout the video.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+steve randall Thanks again, glad you thought that (maybe you can talk to my kids!!) :0)

[@paulperth4205]

I was lucky enough to go on a tour through Buckingham Palace in the early 2000's, Windsor Castle had been on fire and Buckingham Palace was opened for a limited time to the public, was interesting seeing how the other half live. Thanks for rekindling my memories. Cheers from Perth, Australia.

[@hernandezrivas]

[@markfarner5778]

Really great video..... I haven't been in central London SO long, and the little cameo by the constabulary was rather nice as well :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Mark - glad you enjoyed it....

[@NisarAhmed-jl2ek]

Felt as though I’d been pulled over. Very reasonable and proactive

[@justandy333]

1:00 Good old RAF Northholt. Where the planes fly so low on approach, even the streetlights duck out the way! 😂😂😂

[@ashokpall4049]

I'm impressed with his road knowledge of London. I would get lost!
