Classic Motor Hub at Bibury - Biker Scran With Geoff and Dan!

[@AJSpinDrift]

Wow, what a venue. I'm a bike fan, but cars were my first love. As for the pasties, my Cornish wife reliably informs me that a real pasty should be filled with beef skirt, potato, swede, onion and seasoned with salt and lots of cracked black pepper. The filling should be diced and sliced, but not minced, which is a key requirement often overlooked outside of the holy land.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes exaclty! Thinking about the decent cornish ones I've had they have chunks of beef not minced....you're making me hungry!!

[@paulliebenberg3410]

Enjoyed tagging along virtually, I used to know of a good place to get pasties here in California in the "Gold Country". My wife's ancestors were from Cornwall and worked the mines in Nevada County, the pasty shops were a "must visit" when we were in the area. The Cornish miners were in demand because they had expertise in running the pumps that kept the hard rock mines from flooding. BTW this was the very first time I've noticed your subliminal "fine print", my keyboard skills were brought to the test in reading it!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well done on getting the small print read!

[@RealHooksy]

I just did a 1500km ride to Broken Hill, Australia (Mad Max country) and picked up a Cornish pasty ( pronounced “parsty” here) from Burra on the way. This was in tribute to the Cornish miners who settled the area in the 1800’s. I shoved it in my backpack and ate it cold at about the halfway point of the ride, in the middle of the desert, just like the miners would have done back in the day, except for the motorbikes of course. It was excellent 😎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'm getting hungry thinking about it!

[@markh210108]

So glad you went there, I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but it's the one I recommended after the last biker scran. We go all the time.

[@martinburns342]

Tell Geoff that Pyramid Plastics make an infill piece for that hole at the rear. It fits perfectly. I used clear silicone sealant around mine.

[@troopz4683]

Wonderfull series this, enjoyed every one! Have you ever thought of a weekend tour with Jeff n Dan? That would be a treat i am sure.

[@kevinmobile]

I hate to twist the knife as you've already been teased about tyre pressure checks but having discovered through the TPS that the rear had a significant and possibly unexplained pressure drop, it really would have taken only a minute or two to spin the tyre(s) while the bike was on the centre stand at the meeting point - or before - to check for cuts, foreign objects etc. Remember the old adage in aviation, "Don't assume, check!".

[@MotoMark55]

"I've found the gents!" and "Pat's Baps" 😂 Really enjoy these videos 👍

[@DatOldeBiker]

Thanks Mr. Flyer (and friends) a very interesting and enjoyable trip. Lots of good places en-route to go to next time perhaps? You'll never guess what I had for tea after watching this. :>)

[@Scout7336]

Geoff and Dan, we missed you. 🙂 Congrats on the Tiger Geoff. You were right not to hesitate when the Mrs. says "oh I like that".

[@johnward3490]

Sorry boys you went on the wrong day. Friday and Saturday at the other end of that building they put on an excellent breakfast and the place is full of bikes and classic cars they also do great bike ride in days and events though out the year. The place is excellent and the people that work there couldn’t be more charming or knowledgeable nothing is too much trouble. Bibury just round the corner always busy a great place for an ice cream by the river.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh well, next time!!

[@Calvin_Wright]

Loving your adventures. As a time saver. When your taking the back wheel off a. Ub you don’t have to loosen the chain. Just undo the axle, slide it out and the wheel will come off the sprocket carrier 🤙

[@stitch3163]

Great choice for a stop, Dan. While the pasties may not have been the greatest, the hangar tours looked fun.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure was!

[@peterdane9138]

Great scenery, great mates and pasties sounds good to me. Classic cars worry me I remember them on the road when I was young!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes the idea is nice, but the practicality maybe not so much - it's why I like "modern retro" motorbikes - all the looks of the old stuff but with modern reliability...(mostly)

[@michaelcase8574]

A day out with the mates. Doesn't get much better than that. Your English Summer looks much like our Oregon Summer.

Great video and thanks for the classic car shots. Your issue with tyre pressures reminded me of when I helped my partner pass her test. Before each ride it was POWER - check Petrol, Oil, Water, Electrics and Rubber.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good mnemonic....

[@pw3591]

We have very similar interests it seems. Not only bikes, but also love to visit Fairford for the RIAT every now and then. 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes - a shadow of its former self but still one of the aviation highlights of the year for me…

[@seanharbour4422]

Like how these Scran adventures are getting further afield. At one point you were very close to Humpty Hill (B4019), which has some amazing sweeping-views over the whole region. Lovely area to ride-out on, must have been hard to decide what to leave out in the final edit.

[@andrewhamilton-gill]

Just watching your excellent video shows clearly just how bad our roads currently are with potholes. Thanks.

What a beautiful bike the old Norton. Great video. Very naughty not checking your tyre pressures.😬

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sorry!

[@loddude5706]

I feel the 'Three Scranneteers' deserve a special quest. To fly North & track down the 'Black Watch Bridie'. An ancient recipe, invented out of pure necessity circa 2006 in the small town of Auchterarder, Perthshire. Approved by the very regiment that proudly carries the name, it consists of a generous base layer of fine Highland haggis, topped off with slices of lightly grilled black pudding, before it's sheer magnificence is then sealed within a half-moon pastry cocoon of delight & baked to perfection. As the original bakers have long since retired, the creature may be tricky to track down & could even be extinct . . . but, is it worth 6 hours bouncing around & being deafened in some overpriced hireling's spam-can to find out? Gentlemen, the gauntlet lies before you : )

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hmmmm…..

[@johnmacdonald1878]

I like my haggis cooked in the traditional style. Deep Fried with salt vinegar and chips. For the best Bridies and Pies. I recommend. The Bakery in the derelict mall in Drumchapple. A bit of an adventure but good pies and bridies. Stornoway has the only edible black pudding. Once a decade is enough for me.

[@jjnewman65]

I’m not a car person but I do appreciate these classics seen here. That Citroen Maserati is quite unique. One I will always remember being in my “Top Trumps” sports car car packs that i had in the mid 70s

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'm embarrassed I didn't know Citroen and Meserati ever had a collaboration....nice car though!

[@richardgitz2264]

You can roll the Klim Zephyr wind shirt, and the Held Rainblock Waterproofs up when not required - I've never felt so comfortable on a motorcycle!
