10 years later, I’m still watching. Sold my last bike in 2020. But, still go for virtual rides with Russ🤗😂

[@zoharlindenbaum]

"I got the summer gloves on, I got the summer jacket on......... and I am freezing" hahaha I know that feeling ;)

[@funkydisciple]

i know this is quite an old video...but I passed my test 6 months ago and i'm learning summat new all the time. but learning from your videos are a revelation. this will probably get lost in all the compliments you get but I want to say a huge thanks to you. I've learnt a ton and it's helped.

[@Swearengen86]

That bike is fucking beautiful, jesus.

[@PopulationcontrolNow]

Fair enough,thanks for both posting the stuff you do and taking the time to reply.

[@Rhodi88]

I'm new to biking and had never heard of a Ducati Diavel before - dream bike found. Looks incredible! Cheers for that and the lesson

[@yorkshire1290DUKE-R]

More great advice. I can't get enough of these vids.

[@chillypacman]

Hey nothing to say about this video but just wanted to say that I love your work. Unlike many other motorcycle vloggers who seem to be more preoccupied with hot air or unentertaining videos where they're constantly swearing and riding recklessly (for popularities sake no doubt) you actually talk about worthwhile topics. I always come away feeling like I've learned something after watching your videos, never feels like I just wasted my time. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@ShaneTerracio]

Man, that road was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and lovely turns. The bike looks amazing as well.

[@geoffclements269]

Thanks Russ, that was a nice refresher mini-course on braking for me.

[@MISERSTYLE]

Mr Nottingham. This is beautiful. And your videos are purely entertaining.

[@MrSpencerfoxwell]

What an utterly beautiful machine. Thanks for the video Russ I put this to use as a new rider the other day and found bags of grip. Just over a month to go and I might have a full licence! Cannot wait!

[@poncoolride]

great video! I saw a Diavel this summer at a bike show, I ended up going to a dealership and test ride.. well I was impressed with with it to the point that I bought a Diavel, a st2 sport touring, and a 916.. lol I had been riding Harley Davidson motorcycles for about 14 years and I still like them but these Ducati are definitely impressive, fun bikes! The bug has bitten and I'm completely hooked.

[@mustbehiggy]

I moved to Canada a few years back, from Scotland; this video just made me miss the roads back home =)

[@glennofsb]

You make great, informative videos. You taught me how to shift my Ninja 650 and I thank you !

[@dalewiddowson7349]

Brilliant tutorials, just getting back to riding after years away from it, and your vids are great for me.learning loads from them,cheers.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Thankyou

[@tfre3927]

Love that bike. Saw one on the showroom floor last week - just beautiful.

[@OrcaGT]

So nice to see you still have the Diavel mate :) Awesome vid!

[@campbellmcintosh3978]

As always, excellent simple explanation, of what we should all do.

[@tonyp741]

I am really enjoying the lessons given, subscribed and liked, thank you.

[@TheCulliad]

I wonder how many of my non-riding buddies spend time watching videos on how to more effectively/safely brake their cars. Cheers RCN, great videos.

[@thehypebmx]

I had that problem where i came off at an emergency stop at about 40mph on my 50cc scooter, it was absolutely horrible, not long after i passed my cbt either, this video has helped me a lot and i will by far remember this soon when i go onto a bigger bike. Thanks! :-)

[@eduardorebelo]

always giving good tips russ.. top job mate !

[@MrCorbett26]

I have watched this 4-5 times now & that rat bike has really grown on me. Any chance of seeing the remaining bikes you haven't shown us yet or will I just have to be patient. These vids are the best entertainment/factual info I have enjoyed on the internet. Thanks for taking the time to share your bikes & extensive knowledge with us all.

[@B0M0A0K]

Very nice Russ, keep up the good work.

[@deeleeshus]

Love you guys.....you have made some really good vids. You don't know it but have been watching your vids for ages and you did infact help get me through my C.B.T, gave me some great tips for my DAS and just overall riding advice...thanks :)

[@DiabloSpawn]

The faces in the headlights! Thanks for these tips.

[@isoiagt]

Sharp bike! Helpful explanations, too: Much appreciated!

[@vwr32jeep]

Great video. Saving my pennies to get a diavel.. maybe. Beautiful bike and town.

[@MrCorbett26]

I'll look forward to seeing the videos!

[@username951100]

Man that is a gorgeous bike with an amazing sound to it

[@Darknitevlog]

Beautiful bike good sir and great video as always!

[@DARKRYDER7]

what an amazingly good explanation

[@Simol420]

absolutely gorgeous bike man

[@aliservan7188]

I haven't been on a bike in 10 years, and I'm getting a bike for this summer, so I'm taking my test again with Nottingham Road craft. Can't wait. These guys are some of the best int country.

[@zhukie]

Wish we in Australia had the sort of learner training you have in the UK - here in NSW its about 1 1/2 hrs total time on the bike (ever, in my case! and I d never driven a manual car either) then pass your written test and you can buy a Ducati Monster on your Ls lol. No individual instruction whatsoever.

[@aliservan7188]

zhukie I admit to watching Ozzy worse drivers videos and the one thing I'm always struck by is how good the drivers actually are so they must be doing something right! I just turned 50, today, and even I, a seasoned biker, ride like a total wanker every now and then. It's just something about being on a bike ;)

[@alcohol_soft_middle_aged]

Sweet sweet bike, love the looks and the sound, I'm a cruiser man myself but thats just a different beast

[@troyboy986]

Nice vid and explanation. That is a beautiful bike.

[@SkinbeatersamCam]

Cheers Russ. I totally LOVE your vids. Always info packed, and they make me feel at ease with my riding. Cheers!! :-)

[@RCTestKid]

I got my summer gloves on, I got my summer jacket on ... and I'm freezing xD

[@matt-zr6zs]

Thanks this is really informative subbed

[@Warrior020610]

Really well explained about the braking and ABS. Totally agree with it 100% :)

[@onrd1775]

Your bike looks amazing btw

[@Frejborg]

That Diavel is beautiful for sure. =) And man, that sounds good too! GOod upload.

[@HazewinDog]

I knew nothing about bikes at all, but I did like this and the previous video :) thanks for these! although I won't be able to understand it as much as someone who has driven a bike, it does make sense for me ^^ I'm sure you've helped people with these!

[@alisiahoinart318]

Omg, I've been thinking about this bike. Excellent road bike.

[@danielbadenhorst6731]

Really nice bike, love the vlogs, very informative. Keep up the good work and keep imparting your knowledge to us young drivers.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

It's a sweet piece of kit and a real head turner

[@cgrif81543432]

awesome jacket and BEAUTIFUL bike.

[@TheJoyOfGaming]

Brilliant looking bike!

[@SPARTANRusty]

I like your riding style, lessons are great and you accelerate on the parts where it is relatively safe I could use a fellow rider like you arround here :). Great bike,vid and I do apologize for my bad English :)) Cheeers!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Thanks. I've come to realise over the years there are sometimes several ways of achieving the same goal but some techniques are totally wrong and potentially dangerous and just because someone's done something without a bad result, doesn't mean it's not a time-bomb waiting to happen. You instructor was bang on :-)

[@fwarleader]

Great videos thanks for making them and beautiful bike!

[@dnc316]

Great video. Informative and entertaining, a bit like the BBC!

[@MedicoRerider]

Very nice bike runs smooth sounds great

[@hopetuttle3709]

thanks for the videos I never been on one and but I am interested in learning but nervous as heck lol.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

That's a really nice thing to say and I agree, much appreciated.

[@RobertDorsey]

I agree... it's an absolute work of art...

[@mitmirit]

Thats one good looking bike !

[@TheArrenes]

Great tips... awesome bike

[@retipserjayzoom]

nice,i personally feel that this was a well done video...well explained..indeed!

[@tobyheaysman5679]

Such a gorgeous bike love it

[@Ronanpob1]

Its gorgeous :) - I was looking at this model 1st time last night and was thinking thats for me. Not ready just yet - currently on a DL650, (5yrs in) but one day. Really value the training vids. Cheers.

[@DarthPeachy]

Bike looks sweet Russ, congrats mate :)

[@NightEye87]

I really love that bike! Not the looks of it per se, but the overall appearance. It just works, especially with that sticker on the rim and the short exhaust.

[@pedey666]

hi Russ i can tell the amount you love your bike simply it sound nice etc and repeating that the like the bike over and over lol my instructor refers the emergency stop into a "controlled stop" at the time of my lesson it was autumn and had the leaves all over the practice area and told me to go carefull on the brakes by gradually applying pressure but quickly i dont what it is with me but minute i pull the front brake i always pull the clutch in too aat the same time

[@canberkerozdem3912]

thanks a lot for the instructions

[@Ballbag6399]

Gorgeous bike!!!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Welcome aboard fellow instructor :-) All time served instructors will have at least one of these offs in their career. Thanks for the kind words, I like watching other instructors too, there's always new techniques to pick up. Cheers

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[@paulbws125]

Hi russ, that diavel is so gorgeous, got a semi straight way.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

A very fair point, thanks.

[@ste_t]

Haha. I finished off your last comment before you said it. "And I'm freezing " :). Lovely bike.

[@Haggy58]

Only just subscribed to your vids, I love them all so far. I'm also a m/c instructor in N Wales and like looking for useful bits I can 'leech' (hope you don't mind?!), what I really like about yours is you don't come across as an infalable know all and even point out your own minor errors and your delivery is excellent I cringed when I saw Jeff's 'off' but felt a bit better about an identical one I had only the guy broke his collar bone, it was comforting to know it didn't only happen to me!

[@ToastToGo]

Freaking beautiful motorcycle. Very good explanation of ABS. I am going to make sure my next bike has it...it's great for that little extra safety measure.

[@elishamahaley1733]

Work of art you say? I concur!

[@swissgi]

amazing tutorial ! Thx ! no need to watch more vids from you to decide to subscribe !!! Thx !

[@psyfertech]

man i love the sound of a ducati, so unique in itself. Its like a chopper mixed with a sports bike sound lol, almost like a v8 but its still got that formula one racecar mixed in

[@Iliketheflatb00bs]

Holy fudge that thing looks beautiful!

[@marv5696]

love your vids ;)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Yes buddy, after a chat to see what experience he had etc, we sort out the best way of helping.

[@johnriver3425]

that's a wicked bike, sir !! wicked !!

[@fmannottingham]

Think i saw you yesterday in Leicester. It was like seeing a celebrity!!

[@DirtHog365MV]

Pretty good explanation of breaking, good point to make that your front brake has the most stopping power between the front and rear ABS or no ABS. Any new rider should go through a motorcycle safety class to learn what each of them does in a safe area. That is one beautiful bike, great lines!

[@DumpThaClutch]

sweet ride bro

[@T.K.9]

That is one sexy bike :D That rear swingarm though reminds me of the MV Agusta Brutale

[@FlameXXAU]

It's funny to hear your opinion of the Diavel now, after those early vids before the mods.

[@lamiemolette]

Hey, glad to see I'm not the only dude wearing sumo gear when riding a "power cruiser" ! Man, I'm in love with my Night Rod Special (a different kind of bus), but certainly wouldn't mind a test drive on this beast :-) Ride safe !

[@GRABTHLOR]

that is one cracking bike mate, maybe one day.

[@johnc150x]

The thing about riding a bike is that, unless you've done it, you'll never understand why we love it so much. Yes, it's cold sometimes, it's wet often and people try to kill you, but find that special road on a good day and there is nothing like it. Nice video :)

[@paul22anarchy]

cool vid nice bike dude

[@AllTimeTroll]

thanks for the info

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Cheers, I just keep seeing little geniusus of design the longer I own it, amazing.

[@liam1666]

such a lovely bike ! :D

[@Bredaxe]

It's amazing, since this video Bosch has advanced the lean angle ABS systems for bikes. Should be hitting bikes in the near future if not already out.

[@barrkel]

My SH300 has convinced me on ABS. I used to think it was a nice to have, something that got more money out of the safety conscious. Now, I don't want a bike without it. It's almost impossible to trigger in the dry except in full-on emergency braking, while airborne, or on gravel roads. In the wet, I can think of several occasions in London where I had to slam on the anchors, and drifted sideways as I slowed. The ABS is so confidence-inspiring it both encouraged me in *and* got me out of danger.

[@waderp]

awsome bike!

[@chrisgibson4235]

Fabulous bike.

[@robyates262]

Such a nice bike.

[@petebrooka2830]

Such a nice bike

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Thanks Jason. Best advice is to contact an advanced instructor and pay him for an hour's ride out. You'll get a lot of positive feedback and it should help put you back on track.
