[@ajaxracing]

You spelt BYOB wrong 🍻

[@itchybeard8779]

O and thanks to all the subs and viewer's🤔

[@kyndrydspyryt3867]

Just a tad more footage of the week would of been good I think. Maybe a bit of the Gin and tonic drinking etc!.. Just a thought. Bloody good little series though

[@DODGEMSQUAD]

Great content as always guys!

[@siraff4461]

Brilliant again lads. Next time how about offroad somewhere far away on harleys or similar?

[@EnterTheBoyaa]

The guy at 22:26 who says " It's a little bit cold huh" is actually wearing shorts, lol

[@mickeypopa]

It's too cold to ride a bike, but walking around half naked in the snow... yeah that's perfectly alright. Freakin' Alpine people. lol

[@AxelHeusser]

"Shorts" :D Those are Lederhosen.

[@jasper_mehringer]

it's a "dry" cold...lol

[@joshtillman08]

Yall need a Netflix deal.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Noooooo! leave it as it is! please! :)

[@thewippit2400]

Defo Netflix deal

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@thewippit2400 if you feel they deserve to get paid more, please support them in the multiple ways possible on here. I don't want to pay silly money per month for multiple subscriptions like Netflix. I miss too much stuff because I'm not rich/stupid enough to pay for the rest of the crap. I'm already forced to pay for TV, put it on there if anywhere else.

[@TheKrygsman]

This is so true. 44teeth world wide.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@TheKrygsman eerrrm! 🤔

[@Bredaxe]

Next battle should be something involving dirtbikes/enduros or ADV but definitely off road.

[@jameslawton4534]

Bredaxe take the route of Harry's garage 1600km Pyreneyan route on shitter enduro's

[@DanielBrain]

Yeah 100%, I'd be interested in the results of a cheap dirt bike comparison and it'd be fun to watch.

[@Bredaxe]

@@jameslawton4534 None of those current generation push button start jobbers. Kick start, 2 smokers only. Better bring a mechanic who can rebuild top and bottom ends, lol.

[@thewippit2400]

Defo across a rough ass jungle on old school enduros 👌

[@crimzikk]

Cr500 vs Kawasaki 2 smokers

[@xlsmafia]

Good idea not to cross into Switzerland, you probably would've gotten a speeding ticket for skiing to fast.

[@RawTopShot]

Please take two C90's or monkey bikes on a complete lap of Britain using only the coastal roads .. And complete it on one weekend Friday to Sunday 😂👍

[@RawTopShot]

And.... You have to have freshly caught fish (and chips) at each designated meal time in each coastal town or village you pass through. Evenings you can have a local beer with your fish and chips if you're sleeping over. Points for most portions eaten throughout the trip. Extra points for non-standard fish ( standard being cod, haddock etc ). Comedy bonus if you manage to deliver a warm pizza from a local establishment to a local resident. Points winner gets to choose a forfeit for the loser plus gets to choose the next BBB from a shortlist provided by the viewers.

[@samuelalexanderharve]

I know a couple of guys who did John O'Grouts to Lands End on C90s in less than 24hrs 😂

[@RawTopShot]

samuelalexanderharve 😂😂😂hardcore! 😂😂😂

[@samuelalexanderharve]

@@RawTopShot yep both nutters funnily enough that's one of the guys nicknames 😂 one guys c90 was stock I think just strapped a load of Jerry cans to it 😂

[@seaanxt7316]

Again lads, what a fricken show you put on! Well done

[@IIKraftI]

Please do an offroad adventure next with proper bikes and good weather 😂

[@size1985]

Maybe go to Italian military mountain roads

[@phantombigballs8165]

Excellent idea!!

[@MianCowell]

Do the British section of the Trans Europe trail?

[@RawTopShot]

Hit up Rally Raid for two Stage 3 Honda CB500x's then go wherever you want on an efficient do everything go everywhere bike! Give them a look at least! 👍

[@MianCowell]

@@RawTopShot That gets rid of the Budget part of Bike Battle though.

[@eldergodsband1187]

At risk of echoing many others... Enormous fun to watch. Your genuine friendship for each other, l like a pair of old married duffers, is just fantastic. Beautiful camera work and just all round greatness. Thanks and warm wishes from Texas! Eddie

[@djmorgan823]

Hate to say this because that was class 👌. But, for me, the first bbb was the best by far, can't beat the stripped back no nonsense bbb1 which was just about riding the wheels off two old legends of bikes. But that's just me lol.

[@Anonnymouse53]

They've gotta shake it up & all the BBB's are great, but I'm with you on that one. I love turn of the century sportsbikes, no doubt modern tackle is better in most ways but they are cheap & fun, because there is nothing between you and the controls. I don't want anything on my bike I don't understand because I'm a dinosaur.

[@OfficialistDave]

two men breathing heavy, grunting and giggling. Typical for these two then.

[@jamest5149]

I like the swearing dialogue when skiing... just how I do it... Fing hell, sh*te.... and repeat.... its also a speed sensitive phrase... the fast you go the quicker you repeat!

[@fastlanediaries6593]

It’s not lost on me how much graft goes in to produce the end product. Great fun and another terrific series 🔥🔥

[@steve0680657]

Studded tyres are meant for ice - i experienced using them in Iceland. For snow you need snow tyres.....but for that depth i don't think anything but snow chains would work.

Sled bike kit.

[@istoleacake4829]

The next Budget Bike Battle should be a roadtrip across Norway to Nordkapp (Northest point in Europe). The route is filled with mountains and astonishing views!

[@irelandjam]

I've had an old 97 bandit for years and I've always liked it, I think it would have been more enjoyable for you without the towering wheelie bin and disco lights.

[@DoubleYouPee1]

Too bad about the weather. It was pretty much 4 episodes of misery 😕

[@tomslack1952]

Next bbb, do a road trip using small displacement bikes, maybe the old inline 4 250cc sportbike screamers

[@robthesamplist]

Bell endears, we enjoy your alpine efforts.

[@jimwitt21]

For your next adventure, can you please try and ride a "budget Chinese 125" to Russia or something daft? Sorry but you guys suffering is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ColKlinkerhofen]

Vespa across Europe. Or lambretta, see how many times they can break down in one day.

[@Dennell_Mount_and_Blade]

Well you got your wish come true didn't ya

[@Schaaf]

mmmm I had dinner at the Fluchthorn this year when I went there for some skiing holidays!! Great entertainment you guys, well done!!

[@BaronVonGrumble]

Dont order a gin and tonic 😂🤑🤑🤑

[@lllzooklll]

I know this challenge was a while back but I feel this is important. These guys genuinely cant make these amazing videos without their sponsors. I'll be hitting up BOTB right now and my bike will be wearing Bridgeys when its next due. Cheers to the sponsors for making this content happen coz I love it. Cheers from NZ lads

[@motorbiketoureruk]

Great watch guys, massive well done for yet another bell end fest

[@richardtidy9999]

These are getting me through lockdown ✌️✌😂😂

[@mikerogers6742]

Haha. You guys bicker like a married couple. Great job guys. Looked exhausting

[@mmazourov]

Thank you for another awesome series guys! I am already looking forward to the next one.

[@Sirmellowman]

studded tires are for ice not snow arent they?

[@ausforce1]

Yep they would have been better off with sand tire

[@cisium1184]

Depends on the kind of snow. Snow on ski slopes often gets quite icelike and granular from repeated daytime melting and nighttime re-freezing. At least it does that in the northern Appalachians - not sure about the Alps.

[@Sirmellowman]

@@cisium1184 I'm talking on a motorcycle, the only time I've ever seen people do this it was on frozen lakes and stuff.

[@jorahandal4163]

Favorite Motorcycle channel.

[@martinh8101]

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Cheer you up, as in laugh??

[@DODGEMSQUAD]

Yo, 44 teeth'ers, You're about to be slapped with a dual glove of words.... You old boys vs us slightly less old boys, a list of challenges to complete, Vloggers VS Vloggers. We've got the challenges ready, If your man enough to take us on, give the people what they want! (That statement is totally un surveyed) Let's battle!! We await your reply.. Don't be a bell ✌

[@jamieclague6911]

Yessssss

[@richardb285]

I think you mean "You're about to be slapped." Kids, huh.

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

An idea for the next BBB: buy a Transalp and another plastic crap and go from Paris to Dakar :-)

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Just binge watched the Alpine BBB series again. Brilliant series.

[@JohnnyOlphert]

Great job chaps, fantastic production too. And I near pissed myself when Al was heading faster and faster on the skis :D

[@junglie]

What you need on winter roads like that is something no bigger than a 250cc single 4 stroke. Just saying this as someone who rode 20 winters in the north east in all weathers. But hey you guys have big balls for braving the trip for us!

[@bertiebassett1972]

Brilliant episode again ! A few years ago I heard of a bloke riding from Blighty to Ibiza on a gs500e (couldn't think of anything worse) You could do it and call it "islington to Ibiza the club tour" At least it would be warmer😄

[@coopertrooper87]

Not the best BBB unfortunately, I feel it was over hyped lol! I get that the bikes pretty much f**ked up with such regularity as to essentially negate any vs challenges due to schedule but this was pretty much just Barron and Fagan go skiing! Nothing beats the first one with the ZX7R v the SRAD. :-)

[@SweDownhill]

Fantastic as always! Thanks for the entertainment guys.

[@powereire]

After watching all the budget bike battle series it's after inspiring me to get back on 2 wheels after more then 10 years off. I always thought I decent spin was a hour or two down the road but now I can't wait to drive around Europe after the lock down

[@dan.p.8060]

I like what you guys are trying to do on this channel, a motorbike show with a similar style as The Grand Tour or Top Gear. Brilliant idea and honestly not sure why a more major TV channel hasn't started doing the same thing. Or maybe someone is and I just don't know about it. Anyways, just a couple personal opinions of mine that I think would improve things. Get Gary (I think that was his name, the guy on the KTM) trained to use a drone and get more shots of you guys riding through scenic roads. I know due to mechanicals and hangovers you were unable to take your primary scenic route, which by the way I think would've significantly improved the quality of this series and I'm sure you probably agree. I'm guessing, like myself, you have other obligations that kept you from taking longer than what you had planned... I get it. But I still think it would've elevated this series to the next level taking that scenic route and getting some cool moving drone shots along the way. The talking parts at the end seemed a bit dragged out (maybe because of the beers lol). Considering your setbacks it was all in all entertaining and I look forward to watching your next "adventure" series. Cheers from a subscriber in Seattle, WA!

[@danebrewer10]

Absolutely love this, I've stayed in that akena hotel,, skied in Ischgl, even had a puncture fixed by that garage Zangerl in the summer, so awesome to see this place from another perspective

[@Sirmellowman]

my god, that view....is stunning.

[@xRazerrr]

Just loved it all the way. Huge respect for not giving up and adapting whatever came in your ways. Actually rather inspiring the way you lot made the best possible out of the circumstances. Love the positivity (on camera)! Keep it up, you lads deserve a shit ton more attention!

[@kiwiabroad8390]

Sue Perkins stung by a hornet. Congrats on your win Mr Statham. Thanks for sharing another epic battle.

[@thephantom2man]

Loved the whole series, can totally relate to how scary riding road bikes on street tyres on snow is, had to drive 12 miles in 6 inch deep snow on my 600 diversion a couple years back over the hills on the south downs.... literally could not ride the bike faster then 20mph in a straight line, and ANY touch of the brakes and you're off

[@Bosstrad]

Something has to be said for each and every Suzuki the series , they literally always pull through to be the most reliable bike at the end.

[@hymerr]

Thank you guys for this season and thank you BOTB & Bridgestone for making this possible.

[@kdz666]

You could have skied on the skis you carried for 900 miles! Hilarious episode Next time you go anywhere near Ischgl during winter, drinks are on me!

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Tried but they wouldn't let us. Apparently they were kids skis, hence the 'bargain'

[@danlewry2887]

Don’t do that. My bingo wings are off😂😂😂. You 2 are awesome. Can’t wait for more.

[@cameronwild7311]

From OZ you guys are a crack. Love all your episodes. Budget bike battles are amazing. Not all trips are beer and skittles but the tough ones you remember for a lifetime. Can't wait for your next challenge 👍👍. Great viewing guys

[@cisium1184]

I basically grew up on skis, but the last time I was on them, snowboards were called "snurfboards" and the only places you saw them were small hills like Suicide Six. This video is kind of bittersweet because I miss skiing so much and we don't even have snow where I live now.

[@tonykeast9966]

What an enjoyable catalogue of colourful fuck ups! Class act 44t, cheers.

[@noostNL]

Amazing! Keep these series up please! This is so real. You can see the fire between you two hahaha

[@irishwolfhound1987]

Fagan has only bloody gone and done it! Congrats Al I had faith that you could win at least one BBB.

[@Flip01]

Thanks guys bloody good effort. Can't control the weather out there. It looked like one he'll of an experience. Congrats Al. 👍

[@Real_MisterSir]

Next should be Budget Bike Battle: Long range enduro rally on small modified dual sports! Perhaps cross from Spain over Gibraltar to Morocco, or something like that. Just go crazy with some small rally bikes :D

[@danielwood7550]

Without a doubt the best motor bike Chanel !not just on KZbin but across the board well done you pair off bells

[@TheBiggerrich]

Where has this channel been all my life?!? Top comedy gents, when are Amazon Prime signing you up?

[@knobblystudios6237]

Another mega movie, gents. Thanks for the adventure and cheers to the video editor. Congrats on the win, Al!

[@MrMannakin]

I almost bought a bandit at one time and then compared the weight against a SV650 and changed my mind (26 Kg difference!). Saved me going on diet!

[@DrKampfpudding]

You guys are pretty spoiled. I am currently driving a CB 500 from 1999 (2 years already). bought it for 840€. I didnt had to touch it except for tyre and oil changes (knock on wood). It runs decent. Not like a KTM 1290 ADV nor like a BMW s1000rr but decent for the price . Cheap bikes can be fun too. And real bikers can enjoy themselves on all bikes .cheers My opinion.

[@barbieandbellaadventuresby9134]

Loved this chaps. My two favourite things to do, motorcycling and Skiing. The Ischgl tourist board are amazing, massive respect to them. Never been but just may now for a late season sesh. Skiing in motorcycle helmets😂 I can't imagine how hot that was.

[@Vermoot]

Please never stop. I hope you get to make more, and we get to watch it. It's tremendous.

[@themorganator]

genuinely hilarious - thank you so much for this guys! You put in so much effort and it's greatly appreciated! Buy 44T hoodies people!

[@derrenlimbert6660]

Best BBB yet!!!! Thanks for another great watch!

[@festol1]

2-stroker battle!!! One small 125-250 and the other a larger 500cc!

[@equinoxmcb]

I look forward to every BBB, can't wait for the next one!

[@woooster17]

You two.. with all your silliness and shenanigans.. Keep it up, brilliant stuff lads.. BBB great concept and series 👍🏼

[@ExpatonTwoWheels]

Great job braving the elements. I have ridden in snow and ice and it's terrifying. It didn't seem like you guys had fun like on the previous episodes. Maybe the hours by the road ruined it. Thanks for finishing off as best as you could.

[@flippy66]

Pro tip, on flat ground do up your bindings while standing up. OR, do them up, then flip over on your front.

[@jarod9343]

Everybody who is talking about the Italian bikes unreliability: the Ducati and the MV Agusta did the job very well in the bbb2, meanwhile they had a few break downs with the Japanese bikes. So well done Italy

[@mondena5568]

Great episode! Next time when the weather doesn't play nice, borrow a couple snowmobiles and have a race with them!

[@xkukubax]

I’m genuinely nostalgic the series is over. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@RawTopShot]

xkukubax I'm guessing English is not your first language.

[@ArronAdams1990]

Had me in stitches this episode! I'v seen both the Hornet and Bandit are on eBay at the moment too!

[@richardb285]

Yup, and the Hornet has a bid against it. Nuts! Surprisingly, no bid for the Bandit though

[@awrebyawe]

Zona ii

[@Nick-Emery]

Love the banter between these two 😅

[@plllot9713]

Should have hit the Pyrenees late March, early April. If conditions are right (like they were this year) you can have fun riding your motorbike and do some skiing :) Took my motorbike this year and it was just amazing. There were a few days with 15 degrees at 2000m asl. I rode through Andorra and it was 10 degrees in the highest parts. Saying that, the year before roads leading to Andorra were covered in snow and chains were mandatory so it's just down to luck ;)

[@marksmith8663]

Very good to watch a lot of preparation gone into that . 👍

[@LeytonC]

Best BBB so far, looking forward to the next one....

[@leewatkeys9065]

What a cracking series and so eventful and inventive. Please keep up the excellent work 👍🏻

[@timselbie3419]

Thanks for opening my eyes to ischgl,looks like top resort.Stunning in the summer methinks.

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

Just did Le Mans, my bike Suzuki GSXR 1000K1 worked fine on the way there, absolutely no problems, as we came to leave the Blue Nord campsite by bike decided to 7uck up, starter went, so with all my kit loaded we had to bump start it 6 times on the way back home during stops for fuel and food. NIGHTMARE!! Looking forward to your next BBB, do a BBBB British Budget Bike Battle as in British makes.... PLEASE!!

[@MachoMadness69420]

Hornets do have a relatively high 6th gear. They have the exact same gearing as the cbr600 which the engine is donated from. But in the Hornet 6th gear basically is an overdrive for better fuel economy because of the engine having 10 horsepower less + the lack of a fairing.

[@cgbond861]

am I the only one who thought the candles on the table are set out like a pair of chesticles?? awesome BBB!

[@petermuller7687]

Should have listened to RyanF9 and put some sand-shovels on the back for traction

[@thomasdixon7152]

Best motorcycle channel hands down

[@simonthomas5367]

Just watched this again. This is epic stuff guys!! Would be great to have a BBB with 650cc ‘80’s or ‘90’s monocylinder ‘duel sports’!

[@aaronbarker197]

👍😎 Looks like toy had fun lads😂. 2 stroke battle next? That's asking for breakdowns

[@allansrensen1480]

Thanks for another fantastic BBB series! You guys rock!

[@deedoubleyatraining]

Awesome boys!! Not seen that much desperation in the snow since hateful 8 🎱🎱🎱

[@Jorduan100]

HUGE respect for taking the time and effort to give us this. Awesome.

[@ryanmalone2681]

My first bike when I learned to ride in the UK was a Bandit. Sold it in less than 6 weeks and bought a CBR954RR. That’s how long it took before I was bored on it.

[@fzswede9533]

Top job laddies ! 👍🏻 Won’t try that no. 😂

[@aaronlovett1925]

Lads I'm just watching this and wondering why did you not stick a snow board on the front 👍👍🤔

[@WAYTOOCOMPLICATED]

Well done for slogging through this for our entertainment, much appreciated

[@sonamoto6246]

Well what can I say......Rather you than me guys! Superb effort as all ways though! I'm thinking next BBB should be buy two not so tired bikes tart them up for on and off road challenges from lands end to John o'Groats.

[@dankrafted]

an epic series and adventure, sad that its come to an end, i do absolutely love these.. good work fellas 👍

[@steesimons37]

Well done boys. For all the difficulties and challenges, you done good.

[@gavind1016]

Enjoyed that lads! Here is an idea for your next one. Buy cheap dirt bikes, you then need to make them road legal. Ride them as much as possible off-road to a race track in Europe. Then once at the track you need to then convert them to super motos and race them at an endurance event.

[@andrefelipe7180]

Your greatest work yet.

[@peterjackson6228]

Absolutely bloody AMAZING! Well done guys! Epic adventure 😀😁😂 Riding on/in snow is hard,I know as I've done it, including sheet ice! I know the struggle too, and wouldn't do it again. It was great watching you two though! Can't wait to see what you have in store next in BBB! I'm off to BOTB!

[@Mrbigbird104]

As a part time uni student, I too have spent a load on GnT and burgers over the last two week. Probably all in vein too as I’ll probably fail my exam in the morning, as I’m watching this instead of revising 😫 cheers BBB 😂
