Peak District ride to Matlock Bath Sunday bike meet

Last time I rode to the Peaks I missed the bikers Mecca of Matlock Bath - This ride put that right!

[@TheUniqueKTM]

OMFG! I seen you there!! Im on the KTM Duke at 4:11 behind the TVR. I was filming all of the TVR's from outside of the sainsburys petrol station, a vid will be up soon!

[@rustynuts4426]

I couldn't think of anything worse than riding through a built up busy area like that. You'll find me riding alone in the middle of nowhere

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Fair enough

[@rustynuts4426]

@@TheMissendenFlyer sorry, I didnt mean I didn't like your videos... I love them. Infact you helped me narrow down my next bike. CB500X. I did have the 650vstrom xt but for my short ass it was a little big n bulky. I need to get down to fowlers bristol and have a test ride, what's your tske on the new '2022' CB500X

[@skoorbyrret4578]

There are some great places not far from Matlock to "ride alone" ....one just needs an "Adventure Bike" or an "Off Roader" ....and you can ride anywhere a commuter/tourer/sports bike can go, and a host of other places too. Just "keep it legal" is the only caveat.

[@daviesjack12]

I'm so glad i live 15 minutes ride from the peak district. It's an awesome place to ride.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're a lucky man!

[@Kev75184]

Hi, just found this great video. At the time I was the organiser of this TVR car club run you are passing through Matlock Bath. The run is called " Thrills in the Hills " ( many videos available on here ) we used to get between 70 and 130 TVR,s blasting through the Peaks. Always great to go through Matlock Bath just for the reaction to the cars.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Brilliant - used to love my old TVRs

[@Dazziejackson]

Was there a few Saturday's ago and there was just as many bikes,apparently they have some kind of carnival thing once a year on the river which is worth seeing so I believe,lovely little place.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+dazzie jackson Yeah, well worth an early morning visit I reckon. Cheers for watching - TMF

[@alanlake5220]

Matlock bath illuminations, candle lit floats on the river derwent, about 4 Saturday nights end sept early oct, very good and very busy.

[@jacquelinewalsh7465]

The carnival is beautiful. Loads of stuff going on .on the river.best illuminated boat competition. Children's fair.and awesome firework display.Oct.November time.jx

[@ScragNath]

Glad you sorted that mate. Been riding to Matlock Bath since 1976 on my FS1E. Do it every week now since retiring, on my current bike collection. Oh, and I live in Derby.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Try Poole Quay on a summer Tuesday evening. Makes MB look like a quaint little gathering....

[@keithnicholl3859]

Hi...thanks for posting. I live half an hour from Matlock. If you continue on the road where the vid ends and then turn right at the lights.....and then right agai it puts you on a fantastic winding free flowing road which eventually spits you out on the Buxton road.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'll be back!

[@keithnicholl3859]

TheMissendenFlyer It’s known as the Via Guila...

[@skoorbyrret4578]

Lovely video, coming from nearby Sheffield, that is "my area" ....there are some great rides in & around the Derbyshire Peak District, and some great "Green-Laning" too if thats your thing ....I ride a 650 Yamaha Dragstar and I use a little AJS 125 "Scrambler" for my off roading forays all around that area.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds great - you live in a beautiful part of the world….time I rode there again!

[@davesharratt]

A bike sunshine n matlock bath sounds good to me , go most sundays through summer with the missus on the tracer

[@BibtheBoulder]

I used to live in Darley Dale, just to the north and my abiding memories are of walking into Matlock Bath on a Sunday to view the bikes. A great meet there. Also enjoy the bike night at Poole Quay on a summer Tuesday.....

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I did that Poole Quay one when i bought my Street Triple in 2012 - about time I went back!

[@BibtheBoulder]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Your comment made me laugh. I do the same: 1998: My ZX9-R 1999: Must have been my first Hayabusa 2007: Honda Goldwing and on and on...... 2021: ZZR1400..... Such is life...

[@itzajdmting]

Wow. Super busy! So many TVRs...The Tuscan has the oddest interior I've ever sat in. Was going to rent one for a weekend, but ended up preferring the Griffith V8 :) My mother's always prattling on about Matlock - now I see why! Looks nice.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Rob S Yes the ol' TVRs are brill - I've owned a couple in my time....did you ever see the inside of the Cerbera? Similarly space age......such a shame the company was mismanaged......I still fancy a Tuscan someday....

[@itzajdmting]

+TheMissendenFlyer I was once obsessed with Tuscans. Not quite so much anymore, but still appreciate them. No never seen the inside of a Cerebra - great exhaust note on those! Yeah I was quite surprised by the TVR interiors - very 'Jetsons'. Would love to own a TVR one day, and yes, great shame about the company.

[@oddities-whatnot]

I came back to Blackburn via Matlock in the fuel crisis we had last year or something. Lovely road and scenery. Also I like the fact there is a Subaru dealer there yay 👍

[@neilb4297]

Ah yes, your up in my neck of the woods here. Some great roads to explore all over the Peak District and Derbyshire. Plenty more to see if you ever come back this way.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh I'll definitely be back - great place to ride as you say....

[@rustyrider4306]

Tmf, sorry I'm a bit late catching up but only just seen this video for some strange reason and may I say you have done Matlock Bath Justice with your video, a cracking view of this wonderful place, I live 15 miles from Matlock Bath so it's a regular fish and chip run for me but may I say great to have Tmf riding through, the cliff edge you mentioned as you enter into Matlock Bath on your left hand side are a regular for rock climbers in summer, something to look out for. Nice one Tmf,till next time 👊👊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Must get back there for another look when all this madness is over....

[@hateliberals2299]

i love camping fishing free scuba diving exetra but nothing beats riding A motorbike👌👌love my bike she never lets me down👌👌but that's honda the most reliable make in the world👌👌👌👌

[@drumitify]

The locals call it 'Derbyshire by the Sea'! As you've probably gathered it gets packed in the holiday season; best time to visit is a Tuesday morning on a nice day April/May time.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+drum itfy Thanks for the tip! I would love to go back an actually park up sometime!!

[@cbr9296]

You must've picked a quiet day.. there are cars amongst the bikes and there are spaces between the bikes ! lol.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

:0)

[@Adrian-mk5bb]

brill video.. Even on a normal saturday morning it gets busy with bikes.. The thing i do is to get there before 9.30.am.. and i ride in up the A38 from Birmingham..Park up opposite the chippy and have a good breakfast.. i have a tip it's to get there EARLY!!!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+darian smith Cheers Darian, glad you liked it and completely agree with your tip - early mornings and Sunday's don't mix well with me though (hang on, it's Sunday today and I've been up since 6am!!!). Cheers for watching and commenting - all the best - TMF

[@GTsGarage]

Some lovely roads round there. Always hearing bikers expound the wonder of the roads in wales, they didn't look arf bad :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+GTs Garage .....except these roads are in England ;0)

[@heathy912]

Cat & Fiddle, got be done if you're in the area, fantastic roads up there, mega lucky to live close to all this myself

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+heathy912 Yeah, I did the Cat and Fiddle on my last trip up, it's in here >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqDSlKNqoc-qg68 Great spot to ride!

[@CaptainRambunctious]

Very nice TMF! Loved the TVRs. Had a Griffith 500 myself! :-) Tally Bally Ho!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Captain Rambunctious Good man, I had a TVR "S" and then a Chimaera - fabulous beasts, if a little temperamental/sidewaysee......

[@CaptainRambunctious]

TheMissendenFlyer AH, loved the sideways nature... Never broke down in 8 years of ownership! :-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes to be fair, I only ever had one complete engine failure requiring a total rebuild - but that was with the Ford V6 in the "S" - the Buick/Rover V8 was rock solid, no problems with that, just that amazing sound (piped through my "sports" exhaust of course!)....

[@CaptainRambunctious]

TheMissendenFlyer Absolutely... A sound that a motorbike could never match, in my heart that is...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Completely agree 100%....

[@chrisheggie952]

Thanks for that. I'll add Peak District to my itinerary but I think I'll visit on a week day or is it always this busy?! Is filtering legit in the UK? It's just been enshrined in the road rules down here but drivers are still coming to terms with it...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Chris Heggie Anywhere can be busy if the weather is nice so weekday is a good plan...and yes filtering is completely legal, and in our busy towns, a must!

[@veeken777]

Been many times. That TVR cars is made near I recall?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No, they were Blackpool based….

[@veeken777]

Did you take this in on your way back from Cumbria and the Dales?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Len Scapoff Len - You've rumbled me!!

[@LenScapoff]

+TheMissendenFlyer Hah. Well, the (unlikely) alternative was that you had developed a passion for biking up and down the M1. The important thing is that you had a good trip North.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Len Scapoff LOL - As it happens I have been up and down the M1 with the bike since, stay tuned for more soon!!! Cheers for now - TMF

[@snowdog7840]

I think that was the most traffic have seen in any of your videos !! Were you near London?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nowhere near!

[@ScragNath]

Nah, We in Derbyshire love Bikers.

[@allaboutkalergi5012]

"I've stopped nodding and waving at them now..." YES... you'd need a rubber neck on a Sunday around Matlock. Everybody feels the 'nod fatigue'. :-)

+CITIZEN ONE, Author That's a good problem to have though eh ?

It certainly is.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Eh, not sure I follow??

[@scootjockey]

Hi you only have to google the words, but its a word play the Germans give for the BMW motorcycles. Translated Bring me to the Garage. ( a playdoer on it,s unreliability)- I had one of the first gs bikes ( New Ones) the clutch broke at 2,000 km.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Aha, I did try google translate and it came out with "Bring me workshop" which didn't make sense to me - understood now. Luckily I've never had any reliability issues with my BMW (said crossing fingers) so I haven't had to utter those words! Thanks for watching....TMF

[@scootjockey]

Sure i live in Germany so i know a bit about BMW, i am a Brit though and love (when i visit) Matlock Bath.
