Freddie you make some of if not the best motovlogs. Absolutely brilliant also Monika if you see this your editing is always fantastic as well. Genuinely appreciate the work and effort you two absolute legends put in 💛🤌

I like the recent parting of the waves I’ve noticed where we have an accident up ahead so that the emergency services can get there and obviously helps bikes filter to the front too. Was in one recently and a truck driver biker said it’s been commonplace in Europe for ages. Good video as usual but all the life style stuff isn’t my bag. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

It is, but things have moved on, we've all become more cosmopolitan - remember when the only curry you could get was made by Vesta - and we want more choice. And you can still have a mug of tea and a fried breakfast at the Shed.

I don't think it's a question of cosmopolitanism, it's more related to the demographics. Bikers in the 60s and 70s were mostly young and working class. Today's bikers are middle class and middle aged, relatively affluent, and are steeped in a culture of fashion and consumerism.@@AlexOnABoat

A few years ago I took a friend to get some new boots. She was also thinking about a helmet so we looked at the range in the shop. My last 2 have been Shoei's, super comfortable and I thionk reasonable value. J&S Accessories was the shop. Bel was a bit shocked at the price of the Shoei's, so looking at the XXXs we asked the guy serving us what he thought? "Everybody who works here has a Shoei" came the reply."I'm pretty sure that speaks volumes" he said.

Miss my Buell. Love my RnineT/5. And if I ever get another new bike I would love it to be a Norton as one of my top choices.

I’m sure the garage is a reputable place but as you’ve waited and waited and waited, I’m at a loss as to why the garage seems to have put you in a queue knowing the hassle you’ve been through over the months? Patience of a saint 😇.

*From a land-use perspective, having the Bike Shed underneath an existing viaduct(?) is so very.* But putting parking at the end was genius. With no seating, street side, it allows most patrons to enjoy each bike entering like they were fashion models on a runway.

Fantastic video and the music 🎶 was absolutely amazing 👏 Great to see Norton building bikes in the UK 🇬🇧 Would love to see an affordable Norton 500 classic spoke wheels 2 old clocks metal mudguards. All the old British bikes should be making a come back , it's time we got back to style and character.

Man, I wish we had a place like that in the States!

A police bike in bike shed? Not seen one in there before. Thanks for the awesome vid again Freddie 😊

Freddie, in Newcastle upon Tyne we had everything motorcycling in one place.....Westgate Road (The Hill) . Sadly COVID has seen the death of that venue.

The delay in waiting for bike repairs was solved by me buying more than one bike 😀

I'm afraid while I find Bike Shed interesting to view places like this seem more pretentious and aimed more towards life style bikers. To be fair there are more these types of biker hangouts and dealerships than ones that have the warmth, feel and smell of bike shops before the boutique era we are now in. I know have only found one myself in the last 30 years and it is located in the middle of Iowa, called Baxter Cycles. Visiting this shop took me instantly back to 1969 and a feeling I was back home again. It's hard to explain if you haven't experienced it and it doubtful you'll ever get to but if you are crossing Iowa take exit 51 to Marne. It is in a very small town almost in a corn field, I'll guarantee just one visit and you'll see what I mean.

I always know I can't afford a product on how it is displayed, if it looks like my home, I can't afford it. If I can't see the counter where it is displayed, I might be able too, and if I have to search for it really hard. It's mine!. Lol. 1000 Sq ft shopping area and 32 items for sale, I have to move on.

Hi Freddie, nice video. I noticed at about the 16 minute mark, that both lanes of vehicles on the freeway/motorway moved towards the shoulder/emergency stopping lane - is this common practice in England when there's a stoppage on the roadway (to allow access for emergency vehicles for example)? Thanks.

You should get a old lambrette and have a go on one and not one of these modern royal ally ones I have thoughs where the days back in the late 60s early 70s good times been on a lamby and fashion to even then loved the motorbikes of the time now 72 and still remember the good old days I sound like an old record bikes and scooters today are brilliant but there just something about back in the day with scooters and bikes I think it where different types off culture between each different sections of scooter boys and bikers I will shut up now waffling on lol

Hello, fantastic and relaxing videos, pure style. However, everyone is waiting for the return of the Bonneville, which, I suggest, would look great as a second bike. The mechanical service cannot imagine the audience they are looking at. Could it be, perhaps, the lack of tools? 🤨

Great Video Freddie. What time of day did you get to The Bike Shed to have no traffic?? Last time I was up there the roads were chocker and it was only early afternoon! Good to see around the place and interesting to know there's a Norton section.
