Pub Fish 'n' Chips by Motorcycle In An Old English Village

This is an eXtra video from Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man!
Today, The Ol' Man rides his BMW R18 to an old country pub in the Leicestershire village of Hallaton, for fish & chips, and talks about the ancient village tradition of 'Bottle Kicking' which is a brutal annual event that is not to be missed!
He then has a wander around the village and looks at the lovely buildings, before riding off and stopping along the way.

Nice vid. I live in Leicestershire and I'm still amazed how beautiful the countryside and villages are.

[@MHeadroom]

Lovely scenery. Lunch looked superb too. 😋👍

[@zachariaszut]

England is so beautiful, thank you for showing it. I have a few things to organise but eventually I will visit it someday. That Fish 'n' Chips looked lovely. Stunning video mate. Cheers.

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Thanks 😊

what you need is a pinlock double-glazed visor ....................

I have to say that bike looks absolutely epic, what a fantastic antidote to the stresses of modern life, so cool to climb aboard and ride some of Englands finest counties and towns. Those cattle looked completely fascinated by the big BMW too! The fish and chips looked delicious! Glad the vicar wasn't in residence, he may have been totally freaked out by some giant viking type fella with his video camera entering his church, lol. Those R18's can be had at quite reasonable prices now even from BMW dealers, I may be tempted!

Pleased you enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@JoJo-hc4dj]

Nice trip and the fish and chips look very delicious ❤

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Yes it was 👍🏼

[@StubYourToeM8]

This was very pleasant to watch. Great video

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Pleased you enjoyed it 👍🏼

Good to see a proper fish n' chips. I dislike when you order that and out comes a plate of chips with 3 little fish "cocktails" like it's some sort of kids meal. Especially at a pub.

Another stop for my trip. It’s going to be coming May. Found a place in York to rent a Tiger 660. It would be cooler on a Bonneville. Like riding the states on a HD.

[@davidperkins1765]

Love the fact you include such beautiful villages, went through Lyddington, in Rutland today, it looked really lovely. Not sure if you’ve featured this one. Certainly worth a look.

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Yes they are lovely villages 👍🏼

[@PNH63]

Loving all your content, such a mixture Well done!

[@andyjdaviestjk]

Nice trip, the tissue doesn't smear so better for those kinds of jobs, I would definitely go there for the fish and chips.

[@Waynescottguitar]

I grew up just up the road from Hallaton in Houghton , lovely part of the world . Some great rides through that part of the county .

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

It sure is 👍🏼

[@momarsden3053]

Great vlog thank you. Subbed as promised. Regards, Mo 😊👍

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Thank you, welcome aboard 👍🏼

[@geoffozevans4500]

That looks a lovely meal how much was fish n chips there, here in Aberystwyth its about a tenner & not as nice looking as your meal 👍👍

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

It was very tasty and a good size portion of fish . Was £15

[@geoffozevans4500]

@DarcyOlManExtra thank you, it looked lovely

[@bens_bike]

Very nice video. If anything, I find these videos more interesting than the ‘bread & butter’ ones. I’ll be looking out for the notifications for these for sure 😊 One thing I noticed though, if you warm, why don’t you undo your jacket a tad more, let the heat out of your clothes. That would be my logic, or is they’re something I’m missing 🤔 Anyway, keep it up the great work! 👊🏾

[@darrenhall6509]

If your trying to save a few pennies, a tiny smear of Fairy (has to be Fairy) washing up liquid on the inside of your visor, then polish it with some tissues also works well to stop fogging. I`ve used this method for ever as it works and I`m tight. Also, as the kid says in the advert it last for ages and its virtually free...

[@MrZahir.]

Great bike and was it a dedicated SatNav instead of Quadlock?

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Yes I used my tomtom in this one. Darcy has the quadlock mounts with him in Asia

[@BlakesPipes]

I must have missed something... this is the extra channel. Was this the podcast channel and you changed it, or did I drink to much and hit the subscribe button and forgot? 😂 it might have been the latter. 😊

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Yes it was the podcast channel 😊👍🏼

[@vicfdez7830]

That Goldtop that you are wearing which style is it?

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Its actually a Texspeed Marlon Brando style from Bikewear direct 👍🏼

[@Deepingpaul71]

Going off the theme here, is there much of a size difference between the bmw and streetbob 107?

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

The r18 is longer, and wider (because of the cylinders). Riding position is about the same

[@n1vagn180]

1st

[@guzziman]

Great content as usual. Wonder if you took a really long ride on the BMW ? few hundred mile day, or on real motorway at speed for an hour or two. It is amazing how 90% of reviewers hate this bike, they say it is not good at speed, because you are sitting like a parachute in the wind, nor is it good for many hours in the saddle, I know you love the bike, but back roads like I see in the videos, I am sure it is fine, wonder what is the truth from an owner on long rides and a few hours at higher speeds. Amazing here in the USA, these bikes don't sell at all, you can buy a brand new bike for under $15k USD and used for under $10k... and they are available for months on end with no buyers.

[@DarcyOlManExtra]

Yes of course Ive ridden it on long journeys as well, and its great! Really comfortable, and at speed, it’s rock steady due to the long wheelbase and extended rake. Bear in mind; we film in nice pretty locations because it makes nicer viewing - nobody wants to see motorway (freeway) riding 👍🏼

[@guzziman]

@@DarcyOlManExtra Thanks, for that.. it almost makes no sense how cheap you can get these bikes and no one wants them... Cheers !!
