    Good to see Lord David on the other side of the fence Dickie, he was in his element :) Good weather for the Harley, it should get a reasonable dense charge in its cylinders to give a good bang:) I was around the lakes earlier today but not on Chug, I was on "leggy push push", Chugs coming out for a ride soon and Strom is getting a new MOT next week.

    Nice video Dickie,good to see the Harley out for a spin. The Spitfire is something that seems to attract a lot of people, there's just something special about them. The last few shots of those bikes was cool, a lot of customised rides there, the blue knucklehead with the suicide shift at the end was very cool, thanks for sharing. Keep it shiny side up. Cheers from Australia

    There's a quite a big 'Old Harley' scene in the UK....That footage was taken a few years ago at an annual event i used to attend.... Sadly not held any more...I'll do some more Harley stuff in the near future..Not everyone's cup of tea i guess but its me and i like em 😄👍

    Little Nellie - YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967).. Stunning day out, nice having places to go, Events an good Cafes. Two of the most notable sounds in this world.. rumble of a Harley an a Spitfire, now if flown in anger, it screams.. As you were walking from the strip and riding off, grey cloud loomed over your shoulder.. that looks like rain..! an Hey Ho.. not dampened the day.. directly.. The clips of the good O'l Rolling Thunder made it, few Classics there, plus Cars/Rods. Keep up the good work Bro, Stay safe. Davey

    Thanks for showing us around Kemble it look very good to visit and have some lunch and enjoy the aircraft. I had a few flying lessons when I left school but it was too expensive to keep up with. I flew a Cessna 150 and managed to do everything except the final few ft of touchdown, fond memories 😊

    That’s a shame you couldn’t carry on with it.. I know it’s expensive… Dave has actually taken control of the spitfire briefly whilst being treated to a flight himself.. He used to fly I do believe..And the we have John who is in our group ( The breakfast crew) who also has a pilots licence but echoes your sentiments .. Its expensive! Thanks for watching and your support 🙂👍

    Fantastic Dickie! Loved seeing the Spitfire! A couple years ago , at a local airport, I did a walk through of a B-17 WW2 bomber. It was so tight in there, that a bigger guy actually got stuck.

    Very interesting what your saying about Harleys as I don’t know anything about them , so is your other Harley on the road yet , it would be lovely to see it on the road and also hear it bet it sounds lovely. I used to be in the air cadets when I was younger and I got shot with a 202 , it hit my thumb and I still have the scar and the other cadet was court marshalled .👍🏍️

    Good to see you out on the Harley, how many bikes do you have Dickie?, I have 3 Harley's , 77 paucho ridged shovel, 17 tri glide, 2019 , club style sport glide, and I thought that was enough. This was a excellent all around video, Harley's , spitfire , that was amazing, biker film footage with choppers , what more could you ask for. and nice lake footage. 5 stars.

    Have a few.. Think it’s an age thing.. If you don’t sell stuff you kind of end up with bikes.. Most of the breakfast crew have a few bikes each topping off with Lord Colin who has……….75! I 😄 Was over a hundred apparently but he sold a few 😆.. Paucho shovel sounds nice .. Remember those Sport Glides shorter plastic headlight cowl and big speedo housing …the Street and Road Glides seem really popular nowadays..The film was stuff I took at Bisley a number of years back.. We used to go there most years.. Proper old school stuff…Glad you liked the vlog ..👍ATB

    Haven’t really delved into my Harley’s that much on the channel.. I will do Collin.. The history of that Flattie is amazing…I need to get it finished and on the road.. It was the bike I always wanted to own since I was a boy.. They’re rare as … And to then have one more or less fall into my lap and it live only 14 miles away and kept under the radar for all those years ..🙂👍
