I'm sorry honda, but why on earth would you want to increase the complexity of the clutch with two motors, given that DCT is already available I just can't see the point 😮

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I am off to the NEC on Tuesday. If anyone wants to come and say "hello" then feel welcome. I am easy to recognise as I am white, middle aged, and bald.....

Cannot wait until Friday , Great walk around m8.

[@OurTim]

Thanks buddy, hope it helped. If you are planning to test ride, give this video a quick watch for some top tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6aVdpuMe5xgqtk

[@peteramsay4053]

Cracking job again Tim 😊 very informative and fun

[@bobtheakston6039]

Great video, thanks

[@LoveJJ70]

Fab video, thanks for sharing 👍

[@HOLLZ2023]

I went yesterday had a great time really well organised and friendly atmosphere will be back next year 👍👍👍

[@mehdimirza8777]

Excellent Explanation good service I enjoyed

[@dean-does-stuff-81]

nice little vlog. great coverage of most of the things most of the people want to see 💪

[@OurTim]

Thank you so much!

[@wualdomotovlog5581]

Welcome to Philippines 🇵🇭

[@OurTim]

Hello guys! Hope you are all keeping well!

[@theflyinghobo666]

No Norton review? Best looking bikes in the show.

[@OurTim]

Sadly not. I did as much research as possible ahead of the show but missed Norton I'm afraid. Will include next year 👍

[@porkscratchings5428]

Look forward to going on Wednesday, good to know the info shown here, cheers 👍🍻

[@OurTim]

Enjoy it buddy! There is also a video guide to getting on a bike at the show too...

[@porkscratchings5428]

Yes definitely, saw the other vid and will try my luck at 1000 or midday as you said. Looks fun 👍🍻

[@andypandy9931]

90% of the show's visitors look over 50, it doesn't bode well for the future of the motorcycle industry.

[@surferdude7013]

Err , guilty of adding to the average age of bikers, I got my licence 4 years ago at the age of 67. Damn, I wasted 50 years.🤔 B.T.W. booking in advance cost £30 including parking.

[@gerryattrickbiker]

That's probably why they stopped offering concession entry prices for poor old pensioners like me!

[@OurTim]

🤣

[@OurTim]

If you go on your bike, parking is free... but then you are stuck in winter gear inside the show. Kudos on passing, I only learned to ride 3 yrs ago!

[@purangesmith9053]

They’re the only age group who can afford to buy something!

[@martinfretwell]

Not sure weather to have a steak dinner and a drink or spend the money on carpooling at the nec.😂

[@TheMartinH13]

The whole thing was amazing this year, my only gripe is that they dont accept irish licences for the indoor test rides, the lady at the offroad test track said its uk licence only but only since brexit.. Doesnt make much sense when your not going out on the road anyway, if you have a full bike licence you can obviously ride one! And theres a section for 4-12 year olds to have a go right next to the big track so whats the difference!?

[@OurTim]

Thanks for this additional info Martin, that's really helpful 👍

[@graemewolfe1515]

Personally, I loved the music while perusing the bikes and I turned the volume up. A great D&B track, what was it? Shazam drew a blank.

[@OurTim]

Thank you Graeme! It was one from a music library, any that could be Shazam'd are too expensive to get a licence to use :(

[@splodge5714]

BSA were in the hall, shame we didnt get to see the new black Gold Star.

[@OurTim]

Sorry about that buddy, I did my best to cover as much as I could. Always one that slips through.

[@williamrae9954]

Went down for 2 days, dismal this year, didn't bother going on Sunday...half the show of 2019...no Dot,BSA,Aprilia or Guzzi is ones i wanted to see!

[@OurTim]

Maybe if I did the same video again next year it might help you decide to go in 2024 :)

[@davidtomkins4242]

did you not look at the exhibitor list before you booked?

[@williamrae9954]

@@davidtomkins4242 Booked....turned up...usually take my 45hrs off for the show,but I'm not in the truck, due to injury...drove down doing my ebay drops...like EICMA or the German and French equivalents,I've never looked to see who's there...why would i?

[@chrisgibbs1615]

The show seems to be smaller than in years gone by, less exhibitors, they are proberbly being ripped off to have a stand there the same as the public are for parking and entrance costs

[@VFRhondamike]

Said exactly the same had a good day but it’s not the show it was in the late 90,s and 2000, s was huge shows then

[@OurTim]

Hoping to get to the ExCeL in Feb, hopefully a bit bigger

[@davidtomkins4242]

@@OurTim lol, the London show is a quarter the size of the nec show

[@OurTim]

@@davidtomkins4242 I retract my previous comment

[@fullcarbon991]

great video, quick run through and didn't drag on. I wish I could have made it this year.

[@OurTim]

hopefully this gave you a bit of a taste and you can make it next year

[@jimmyjam8795]

Do you know, I was riding along the other day and thought wouldn't it be great if I had a system which operated the clutch for me! NOT!

[@OurTim]

😂

[@vevey75]

Looks great how does it compare with the London version?

[@OurTim]

Good question... been a few years since I've been to ExCeL but NEC show was good, I enjoyed it even if a couple of big name brands were missing.

[@mark675]

​@OurTim which were missing? I'm going tomorrow 😃

[@keithmartland6463]

I see everyone is following suit when it comes to designing bikes these days, Lets go Ugly! Lots of older guys looking at these machines, well i suppose so as there the ones who can afford them

[@hypermotardking]

“Ducati HyperMotor’ad”… its HyperMotaaaarrrddd 😅

[@OurTim]

Yeah you got me there!

[@phillipspencer7469]

any reason the Norton stand was missed out the only true British hand built bike made in UK

[@OurTim]

Yes. The content was based of notes and guides provided by organisers. Norton didn’t have anything in either (no news or announcements) and I was focused on covering all the stands with known new bikes or news. Sadly I missed Norton but will capture them in 2024

[@MrTench8]

Are there any of the new bikes from Moto Guzzi, Moto Morini or Kove at the show?

[@godsmercenary4869]

Can't wait to go on Saturday but shame aprilia won't be there.

[@OurTim]

Head to hall first and get booked onto the adventure bike ride experience 👍

[@gerryattrickbiker]

Pity the Piaggio don't bother with Motorcycle Live, so No Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Vespa etc

[@barryjmarling]

Great video thank you,was there no Moto guzzi again this year?

[@OurTim]

If they were there, they were very well hidden!

[@stevecross667]

Thanks for the tour it was really useful . It’s noticeable that there aren’t many dressed tourers anymore but lots of adventure bikes and naked machines.. shame. If I can be so bold concerning the content, I found the music really quite irritating and distracting..

[@OurTim]

Thanks Steve, glad it helped and sorry music didn’t add to the video for you. I’ve had mixed feedback on this but all feedback is good towards making content in future 👍

[@markanstey2654]

Have Moto Guzzi got a stand ?

[@OurTim]

I don't think so

[@martinfretwell]

Its crap yammah had 1 bike last time i went .i never saw a sexy girl model (i think the powers that be want us all to be gay). Free stuff has gone. A todays bikers are a new breed who have lots of money. An expensive bike which they park in the garage and watch other people ride on youtube.

[@OurTim]

Bike world is certainly changing... I've only been in it four year myself and already seen a change.

[@usmanbradley]

So who is known for best giveaways?

[@OurTim]

I didn't see much free stuff tbh

[@wozza59]

The music - turn it right down please as it’s too loud and very annoying.

[@OurTim]

Sorry about that, will adjust this in future

[@mark675]

​@@OurTimdon't pander to the moaner 😂 it was fine

[@wozza59]

@@OurTim Hi Tim, sorry I didn’t mean to be too critical, but honestly I would rather listen to you telling me about the various machines than listen to the loud background music.

[@OurTim]

Thanks Mark - can't please everyone but I do try to deliver content everyone can enjoy :)

[@OurTim]

Not a problem at all Wozza! The challenge with filming at exhibitions is background noise. A lot of stands have music playing that if I leave it, I get copyright strikes on. The music I use comes from a library I pay licences for. I wanted something high tempo to keep the pace of the video up but it wasn't too everyone's taste granted. I am trying my best but feedback - good and bad - is always welcome :) Hoepfully it didn't take too much enjoyment away from the video

[@gerryattrickbiker]

Think they are inky doing agricultural shows now alongside John Deere 😂

[@paulwelch4373]

It got too expensive for me. EICMA is twice the show at half the price.

[@OurTim]

Yes, £31 a go isn't cheap but there is lots there. The Adventure Ride setup was very good

[@andypandy9931]

that's a ridiculous price, I thought they were trying to sell bikes.@@OurTim

[@theflyinghobo666]

I paid £23 advance ticket. Good value to me.

[@OurTim]

Looked into EICMA... quiet fancy that now!

[@TulioG]

Good video, except The audio levels and the choice of music...

[@OurTim]

Did my best, very challenging environment to film in. As for music, been a few comments on that so will work on that in future. Hope you still enjoyed it 👍

[@straightup1234]

Thought music was cool, just turn it down then?

[@UncleWally3]

Has Harley-Davidson tossed in the towel?

[@OurTim]

They weren’t there… surprising as they had a big stand last year!

[@f19ash]

EV bikes… please no

[@lenclark3639]

Been the last two years, it's crap, Aprilia can't be bothered, [ i wonder why ] i think it should be called the retro, adventure, and cheap and nasty clothing show, imo.

[@OurTim]

All the brands have to justify the spend but, yes, having some a the biggest names missing from the show is not a good thing. It is a very long show, mind, so I imagine it's a significant cost to exhibit.

[@rayfriedman6107]

Thumbs down--no NORTON coverage!

[@OurTim]

Bit harsh that - giving a whole video a thumbs down because I missed one manufacturer. I used the official show guide as a guide for this video - Norton were not in the news section here either, which is why I missed them. Hours and hours went into that video 😢

[@rayfriedman6107]

Don’t worry, my thumbs down was rhetorical, I didn’t click the button.

[@OurTim]

Ahhh thanks. Next time, I’ll do all of the major manufacturers 👍👍👍

[@peachy3143]

I’m only going to shop lift
