[@michaelcallan4121]

Good effort and thanks for sharing - just one thing tough in future "slow down" and pause when you are panning over the bikes, you move the camera around much to quickly spoiling the overall enjoyment unfortunately.

[@RoadTripsinCornwallUK]

Yeah, agreed, navigating the crowds is an issue too but hopefully still was watchable :)

[@graemebowyer4901]

Wot, no trikes ???

[@dozerblade]

Why are there so many Old People ? Don't the youngsters like bikes anymore, when this generation dies out, will bikes die out as well ?

[@RoadTripsinCornwallUK]

The majority were of the older generation but the show was for classic bikes and the youngsters ride more modern machines with fuel injection and less reliability problems. The Government aren't helping though with the push for electric bikes and the minimum sales that manufacturers have to comply with, which could well lead to dealers pulling out of the UK or be fined. Look up M.A.G for more information.

It would seem a lot of youngsters are only interested in the latest bikes. This was a classic bike show for older bikes

What, and miss the latest "goss" on Instagram/TikTok/Facebook etc etc?

Well there are quite a few older bikers out there, me being one of them, we tend to like to recapture a bit of our youth, from an era when it was much more common to ride motorcycles. I personally use my motorcycle as a hobby, cleaning fettling and riding on occasions, these days motorcycles are so expensive, and not many youngsters can afford the high prices demanded, it’s also very costly to actually obtain a full licence and you have to be pretty devoted to get one. I think there will always be a demand for motorcycles but probably not on the scale of years past!!
