Love it or Hate it + tight filtering

[@boatsnhoes30]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@CossaAU]

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

[@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!

[@soterman77]

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

[@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!

[@exjay252]

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

[@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 !!

[@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.'

[@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. =]

[@Gladwin514]

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

[@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

[@Rhodiebert85]

Man I wish filtering like that was legal in Germany.

[@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

[@Nerezza1]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@passingthetime12]

I like the fast action commentary, around the Albert Hall. Most enjoyable!

[@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

[@бумер-м8л]

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

[@parkinator0beta]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@adameverest4715]

Your baby impression has me wheezing 😂😂😂😂👊

[@brindleyjohnson5098]

i think i have just found my new favorite moto vlogger

[@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.

[@KarlitoJackson]

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

[@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 😄

[@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.

[@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

[@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. :-)

[@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.

[@IBcnz]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Mathewmartialart]

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

[@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 :)

[@1x1nDone]

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

[@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..

[@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.

[@boristheblade209]

3:09 Why do people do this sideways nod, like tilt their whole head right. Is it to just keep looking where your going and still nodding?

[@H18136]

+Boris theBlade It's to give a positive visual indication that you acknowledge another road user which maintains eye contact and doesn't make it appear that you're just checking to ensure that your tank is still there. It also maintains eye contact, if you could see the eyes... Plus it's quick and easy to do.

[@Qwiggsy]

Its just a biker thing to say hello. Dunno why you've been given a whole paragraph to explain that lol.

[@HalfdeadRider]

I just nod!

[@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

[@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.

[@LankyLee]

I love your videos so much its unreal

[@TopGearrules]

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

[@1450shunter]

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

[@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

[@captainwho5128]

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

[@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?

[@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 -.-

[@bludgerable]

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

[@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!

[@WheelsNotHeels]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@ausguitarist]

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

[@MR92075]

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

[@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 ;-)

[@bezzamobile09]

Love your videos man you never fail to make me laugh thankyou :) and ride safe :)

[@throckmorton3705]

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

[@troyboy986]

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

[@LogicalDesigner]

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

[@joshuapage4584]

Try sitting at those sodding lights on a moped that dies when the revs drop below 2000 RPM, constantly revving it like an excited chav!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@karlossmith3714]

I have a r125 66 plate, feel free to come to wales & have a go 😀

[@XxBlueSkiesx]

@Hayley1993UK I've heard that action cameras work very well on Class 10 cards

[@TheDodoKillerHD]

I was ripped of by your favourite gear shop today. I went into HG to get me a nice AGV helmet, haggled the price down £50, bought one of them fancy balaclava's too. When I got home, I realised that they'd inexplicably charged me for 4.5 of the balaclavas. So I have to go back. Which is annoying.

[@dbauernf]

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

[@Monacosuper]

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

[@nickneek80]

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

[@DaStig]

There is a traffic light in my area that just does not recognize me! I know it's not the bike because I have tried more than a few bikes. It gets me every time! I have to wait for a car to pull up behind me for the lights to even work!

[@sandstau]

Pressure senors in the road.

[@sandstau]

:-)

[@muffin30087]

I have a turn like that near mine in Singapore. I think its for the busy pedestrian crossing in case vehicles turn during poor visibility. Mine is by a school so they turn the arrow off on weekends. I don't think city planners are to blame, i think London is just a bit of a beast in terms of size and complexity so its bound to have a few messed up turns. Also crowded as shit roads. When i visit my grandparents there, my balls seize up when i see the traffic. Definitely would not ride in London.

[@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.

[@TheCorrectionTroll]

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

[@1100HondaCB]

What pisses me off is when I'm the only vehicle on the road but the lights on my part of the road stop me although there is no other traffic. Pisses me off. They go on about reducing air pollution and crap, but they can't sort out traffic light sequences. Councils are wankers.

[@BikerLordCarnage]

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

[@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.

[@IBcnz]

i don't know, i mean, i just feel its easier to control a bike at low speeds sitting straight up, (for mod 1 ect)

[@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.

[@mrkellyhansen]

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

[@IBcnz]

Hopefully it will stay clear, just dont forget your checks, and then, check again, and maybe again, and emphasize those checks so you know the instructor saw them, now sure if this will help you, but when i did it i was told to think of the examiner as a sat nav, just telling you where to go, it sort of helps the nerves :)

[@MegaRyoNo]

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

[@biohazard4411]

that baby impresion was legit

[@C0mm3n]

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

[@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!

[@DoctorORBiT]

Sometimes, I'm really happy that no one can hear any of what your saying. Because out of context, you cant really tell if everything is allright or not :D

[@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.

[@CorbinHurst88]

"Gotta do these things... 'cause the way I see it, I've left now, a gap behind me that can be filled by someone else. There you go" Hahahahahaha - Best.

[@Utilizzarre]

The baby impression... I'm scarred

[@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
