Super Meteor was my Christmas gift from me to me. I love that I know how to surprise myself. It's like I completely read my own mind! Thanks, me!

Yes, the highlight of the video was her giggles when she got away with murder, he being a cheap male wanted the cheapest 🌲 but he was smart enough to listen to her and please her although he knew it wasn’t going to fit, and that made her giggle to see her power of influence in display watching the poor guy struggling with the tree just for her, that is call the power of the v-igina.

Well I think it's fair to say you bring a 'different angle' on motorcycling vlogs. I'm sure I am not alone in appreciating the coffee shops, the book shops, the London-living way of life combined with your alternative life in Ipswich. Merry Christmas and good health for the coming year...
Monika=beauty + common sense=keeper
Merry Christmas Freddie and Monika. All the best for a great 2024 and hopefully a fully working Bonneville.

Thank you John, sending all our best!🙂
Hi Freddie, I like the toolbag in different colours. I think we all need a Monica in our lives she's the smartest tool in the box ❤😂🎅🎄
The Super Meteor is so nice! Monika’s spirit is captured in her laugh. What a beautiful spirit she has. Merry Christmas!!
I loved Monika’s laugh putting the tree in the car
The first thing I love about your videos is you do not take the human factor out of it nor hide it. The next is Monika the behind the camera comments and giggles. As a team Monika should pop on camera more often. Thanks for the great videos guys. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.😊🎄
I used to plant Christmas trees as a forestry worker back in the early 90s up in Scotland. The land owner was buying them for 5p each from the nursery, and we’d cut them down 3 to 5 years later to be shipped off down to London, to be sold for sometimes as much as £20-30 each we were told. It blew our minds that people were paying that much for them.
Someone should make a compilation of how many times Monika has come to your rescue. I don't own a motorcycle, but your passion is contagious. Greetings from Holland and merry christmas
Loving your content Freddy and Monika! Thanks for a great 2023. Here’s to more adventures in 2024. Happy Christmas!
A YKK zip, nice touch & inspires confidence in the quality of the product. I love the look of the typical Barbour jacket flavour.
Monika and Freddie. I wish you all the best for the upcoming festivities. I have greatly enjoyed your channel, Your enthusiasm is infectious and your videos are beautifully filmed and produced as well as being entertaining and highly informative. You offer a unique and refreshing outlook and perspective on life. I look forward to following you next year and seeing your channel and business grow.
Thanks for 2023! Wonderful channel❤ Give us more of Monica’s laughing in 2024 please😂😂
I’ve just passed my Mod2 (full license) Am going to treat myself to a Interceptor in the New year! Also like to thank Freddie & Monica for some brilliant & wonderful content & wish you both a wonderful Christmas 😎👍🏻
You two, have never made a bad video. You always validate why we love motorcycles. Thanks for the passionate work and Merry Christmas.
Playing the Christmas songs on the radio made me actually feel Christmas nostalgia 😮
I must say Freddie that bike fits you like a glove. I looks like it was made specifically for you. I get you love your Bonnie. But that RE is spectacular.
Hello Freddie und Monica. Frohe Weihnacht und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2024 wünsche ich Euch beiden. Regards from Germany.
I was a despatch rider in the British Army in the '70's. We had similar tool rolls made of canvas for the essentials to keep the bikes running in the wild. We strapped them to the handlebars using thick rubber loops cut from punctured inner tubes. Armies have used similar tool rolls since the advent of the military motorcycle. Look also at the early days of the IOM Tourist Trophy before it was a road race. Nothing new here.
Had to smile at Monica finding your mike. My youngest daughter always use to find things for me and still does ?? She seems to have a magnet inside her eyes that finds every little screw washer spring that dad manages to lose??
Just finished wrapping the last of the kids Christmas presents and now relaxing watching which can only be described as one of the best channels on you tube. Merry Christmas and hope 2024 brings you both all you wish for.
Freddy, I have warmed to your personality over the past year, (you posh nob). Those coffee and avacado “breakfasts “ were a barrier to us ever becoming pals, me being a strict tea and bacon roll man. I think it was when you were drinking whisky one Tuesday afternoon, that the fence came down. Man after my own heart after all! I look forward to spending more time with you and Monica in the new year. Season’s best wishes to you both. Jon (in north London)
I have been lucky enough in my life to have holidayed in India on a few occasions. Like you, I love Royal Enfield and the Bullet 350 and 500 always stick in my mind, the big single pumping lazily down the lanes of Goa. It's the India connection and a reminder of great memories. I still purchased a Triumph as my 1st, but RE were right up there!!!
Freddie needs Monica so so much❤
Loved the comment re common sense, then proceed to struggle with the tree, which if you’d gone trunk base first,it would have a slid in !! That said I love the content and Monica’s camera work an laugh. Looking forward to 2024 posts.
Monika & Freddy your channel is one of my favourites I don't have a TV licence because KZread has the best content your channel is proof of that and really appreciate the time you both put into these videos. Honestly don't have the income for patreon subscriptions so always try leave the like, comment and let the adds roll and the occasional bit of merch so i'll be treating me to one of those tool rolls. Have a great festive period guys and everyone else here.
Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas. The new tool roll will, I think, be a great addition to many bikers' kit. Should sell well.
You found your new motorbike. Once the Triumph is back, sell it and get the Super Meteor. And you have to make Monika giggling more often. Happy holidays, cheers
Hilarious video, thanks for the entertainment. Hope you both have a great Christmas. I'm sure we are all looking forward to 2024 in your company.
Really enjoyed your shows this year, Morocco was a real highlight. Thank you both for the heart, warmth and laughter. Merry Christmas 🎅
🌲Have a great Christmas, Monika and Freddie, the KZread couple I would most like to live next door to!
Thank you Freddie & Monika for your superb content and videography through the year. The ups and downs along with highlighting hidden spots in the UK & abroad with your solo road trip to Morocco set you apart on KZread. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 🏍️ 🎉🎉🎉
You are onto something with those tool bags freddie. The oem tool bags are always too small. Only reason i wouldnt buy one is mine lives under the seat and your artisan skills would not be on display. However, if the same craftsmanship was applied to a small tail pack, waterproof, roll bag, wax cotton, maybe with additional water proof liner, available in black / brown, with simple and secure means of fixing to a rear rack, big enough to hold a small flask, a few tools, or maybe a laptop, maybe with carry handle, you could be onto a winner. Maybe poll your subscribers on your next product…i think there is demand for high quality retro english made products. Thanks for keeping us entertained in 2023, cant be easy coming up with new ideas, but your channel remains fresh and interesting and i find myself getting all nostalgic every time i tune in. Truly unique channel.
Mr. Dobbs! Thanks for another nice video. Love the bag you make. But I want to see it fully packed so I can see how it looks then. And your Monica can only love her. Talk and you will hear the signal where it gets stronger "good idea there I hadn't thought of that either lol" and the Christmas tree. This Christmas tree? No, it should be bigger. And then into the car where it barely fits. I can feel your frustration, and she just laughs. 😂😂 Man you got a keeper. Merry Christmas to you both.
We bought a mangy Christmas Tree one year as it was the last one. We kept in its pot. It is still mangy. But it is still with us in the garden.
merry christmas everyone😄
Freddie, you and Monica are definitely on to something. Good luck with this endeavor! I look forward to purchasing this and any other bags you create for modern classic motorcycles.
Great shots of the tree in the car Freddie. I made the mistake of buying one ready netted one year and had to re-arrange the furniture when I unleashed it, unleashed being the appropriate word. Have a wonderful Christmas with best wishes for 2024.
Great timing - just bought a set of screwdrivers and was thinking about old fashioned tool rolls, and then hey presto up you pop with a brilliant idea - consider me your first customer.
12c warm! Went for my Christmas Eve morning ride at 6.30am and it was 26c heaven!
Man, what a cool old radio in your opening!
I worked as a guide in the river for canoe trips for a few years. I always said that before couples get serious they have to go on a canoe trip together. Now I will add another stipulation to that. Couples also have to go Chrismas tree shopping together as well.
You can almost see when you grabbed the first tree, Monika it'll be dead in 2 weeks!!!! and it's got a stand, 😂😂😂❤❤
11:14 🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas Freddie and Monika!
Back in the seventies, a couple of friends toured India on Royal Enfields - many, many breakdowns but always “fixed while you wait” at little shacks with guys performing the most incredible hand made repair jobs in every village they passed through. Simplicity in the extreme. Sadly, due to the insane Euro emissions laws, things have become so complicated with a “simple” motorcycle that roadside repairs are no longer always possible. Several friends are retro-fitting carbies to late model RE’s just so they don’t become stranded out of town areas here in Australia due to EFI issues - something I am seriously considering on my Himalayan now its out of warranty and RE’s Roadside Assistance plan. Having said that, the Super Meteor looks and sounds awesome, a very sensible choice for an affordable new cruiser. A very Happy Christmas and New Year to you and Monika 😀🇦🇺👍
Nice video. Got a good chuckle on the mic hunting 🤣. On the toolbag relating to screwdrivers, if you had plastic tubing sized and cut to fit, it would make a little sheath to prevent it from puncturing the bag.
Dear Freddy, ”you only live once, so enjoy the ride” just buy it! Keep the bonneville as a project to the channel and enjoy the everyday rides with this beauty👌🏽😎
Happy Christmas Freddie & Monika🤶
Thank you of the humanity of it all ( we are men we can change if we have too ) .
A delightful video - especially for Monika giggling! Happy Christmas to you both.
Merry Christmas to you both Freddie. Love your channel, look forward to it every week.

Happy Holidays - may the new year bring you joy and the Exticy of the Two Wheels.
To help Freddie with this one… That’s Monikas mums Hyundai as they are at her place in Ipswich. I’m guessing the Fiat is parked up somewhere else.
Merry Christmas Freddy and Monika, have a good one, and thanks for the laughs.
Magnificent! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you both from Australia. Thank you for the excellent content and channel; I’ve been here since the early days and your work is fabulous - reminds me of home… I’m in line for a tool roll for my Bonnie as soon as they are available: as a brand guy myself, I would trust you both implicitly to craft something authentic; with quality, care, knowledge and love… Sydney salutes you! Merry Christmas and continued success for 2024. 🇦🇺🇬🇧🏍️💙
Well done Monika, I wonder how many disasters have been averted by your level headed thinking.....not to say you should change Freddie it makes for great content. Merry Christmas to you and yours have a wonderful festive time.

Out in the country..., what a perfect way to start my Sunday. So glad we're all back in The Suffolk countryside.
