Great job mate!! We were in Germany 1958-1961 and I'll never forget those Ton Up boys and girls in full leathers, pudding bowl helmets, and goggles, riding BMW, Nsu, Dkw, Triumph, and BSA cafe motorcycles in every city in Europe. You see, our Dad, an Air Force captain, took us all over Europe on weekends and vacations. That experience led to a lifelong obsession with motorcycles that continues to this day!! Thank you and I am a brand new subscriber!! Cheers!😾🛵

I started out with a Street triple about 11 years ago as my first bike, then another street triple (R). After that a Tiger 800 (not my cup of tea) and now I'm a (very) proud owner of a Street Scrambler where the previous owner apparently thought money is no object and kitted it out with a lot of BAAK parts. I love Triumph. Cheers from Sweden

Granted the Bonneville looked good here, but being the loud, brash American I would've loved to have seen the Indian and all the heads that it would have turned. Not to mention the extra big smile that you were sure to have had. So glad to see something like this. Thank you so much for sharing. Ride safe, and keep the shiny side up.

Nice video, great event, nice bikes and great crowd. However, I may be wrong here but did the "mods" finally give up their scooters for real bikes?..lol. I was under the impression that the fashion minded in their "smart suits" were mods and rode scooters and those on bikes were considered "rockers". Oh well, as long as the vibe is positive and keeps the classic or classic bikes on the road it's all good.

The reason for the new model in part is to make it clear that it’s a 1200 (well 1170cc), so many people thought the R9T was a 900 it actually hurt sales, the R9T is supposed to reflect BMW’s 90th anniversary, which is a bit silly cos the play on words only works in English!, the German for ninety is nuenzig, anyway the new model has 12 in it to denote the engine size 🙂 I have an R9T racer it’s a beautiful machine that gets compliments wherever I go, good bike to ride as well 👍

Freddy its very interesting how in the UK Harleys and Indians are allowed to ride in this London DGR event, yet In Australia they are not accepted, due to not fitting the style guide outlines, I asked to ride in the local event on my outstanding mint Electra glide and was told its not acceptable, borrow a friends cafe racer and give us a donation. Can you please explain why these two brands of bikes were accepted in this 2021 event?
@FreddieDobbs
@FreddieDobbs 3 жыл бұрын
That's such a good point because I almost did the DGR on tan Indian Dark Horse, but freaked out last minute as I wasn't sure it'd be allowed! When I arrived, there were plenty of Harleys and Indians and they were photographed a huge amount and generated lots of positive interest! I personally think there's no reason they shouldn't be allowed- they are modern classic styled bikes so tick the boxes in my mind. I did a poll on Instagram at the time: "Is an Indian Vintage Dark Horse eligible for the DGR?"... 60% of people said "it is".

@@FreddieDobbs Thanks Freddie for replying. One would think since this ride is about raising much needed awareness and funds for prostate cancer and mental health the organisation would open the doors to more brands, this would not only raise more, due to making the bike and passenger numbers so much larger. The bigger the event and ride the more interest main stream media would have in promotional broadcasting bites. Limiting to the bequest of branded sponsors is like putting a cap on entry, this won’t raise the very much needed donations.

Still the coolest guy in London..... I didn't realise there would be a gathering like this, I thought the DGR this year was a sort of 'ride your own ride' 'no groups' like last year. Oh well.... I will see you around soon! Bike Shed I feel so relaxed in, just a shame its in London to get there first. 'Baffle Haus' in Wales and 'Caffeine & Machine' near Stratford upon avon have a similar style going on. Catch you soon great to be showing your support together

You’re too kind! I had no idea what to expect this year, but things felt completely back to normal- it was amazing! Baffle Haus is so cool, but i still need to visit Caffeine and Machine!

@@FreddieDobbs It looked like things were normal there, could have fooled me that was from a few years ago atleast! Well let me know if you'd like to go together sometime i'm great with drone flying & cinematic shots so if you want some following shots of you on your bike i'd be happy to do a bit of that too. Plus stratford upon avon isn't far from C&M so lots of scenery to enjoy, let me know here or insta if thats easier

In theory it's anything classic or modern classic, but there are some "normal" bikes there, and I agree with the angle you're coming from (if I've got it right)- it'd be quite harsh to turn someone away on a "normal" bike in the name of such a good cause
