Well done achieving 10k folk who are interested in you . Most of us have forgotten to cancel our indicators at some point , I’m sure I remember some bike indicators have a audible warning yonks ago , bring them back I say . June has now become Junuary ! Met office putting fake news out .

If you think about it, gaslighting in the UK isn't a new thing. 1970s...Oil will run out in 10 years 1980s...acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years 1990s...ozone layer will be gone in 10 years 2000s...global warming will destroy all life on earth And what do they all have in common? They all resulted in more tax. Currently sitting on my balcony in Turkey at 8am and 31 degrees.....just thought you might like to know 😂

10K subs! Very well done! 👍 We are undoubtedly being gas-lighted about the weather, but the real question is 'Why?' Who has the motive and the opportunity? Who stands to benefit from us all believing in the idea of anthropomorphic global warming - and who has the power & reach to pull that off? Everyone should do their own homework. Love the Guzzi. I'm a BMW man: an ex-Met police R1200RTP and a 24-year-old R1100S. Oh - and an Indian Scout 😎 Love V-twins & flat twins; interesting to follow your CF Moto parallel twin experience.

@@PDCRed You've clearly been gas-lighted and suffer from confirmation bias: that '99% of scientists agree' claim has long been disproven & debunked. The fact that you don't know this shows how little you know. And if this is all you know, you need to go back to school. Start by reading 'The Skeptical Environmentalist' by Bjørn Lomborg Lomborg is the former director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute (EAI) in Copenhagen. Don't waste my time by coming back with pithy comments that are based on your prejudices & perception biases; when you've read up on both sides of the debate we can discuss this on equal terms.

Agree with everything there Dave , I'm sick of the patronising attitude of the news and weather reports, it's as if they're talking to a young naive generation that aren't old enough to have seen the weather for themselves decades ago as we have ! But even they can do their own research of the records, so who are they trying to kid ? As you say it's getting bloody tiresome, I'm sick of shouting " ah fk off " at the TV 😆 I don't take the weather reports as said , I look out the window and either put my waterproof gear on if it looks iffy, or put it in my pannier bags if it's bright or sunny and bollocks to it and just go out , I'm not having my freedom of movement swayed by false extremities of weather advising us not to travel as thunderstorms or extreme heat are expected ,..anyway ranting aside, congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers ! Cheers Mel 🍻 PS on your indicator comment I was thinking maybe your camera mount was blocking the repeater light from your angle of view ?

That's a strange one Dave, we have had a really warm winter, but Spring here in Spain has been cooler than normal, still hot but not normal. We now are getting towards the start of Summer 21st of June, and it's in the low 30s for the last few years we have been in the high 30s. Apparently the boffins that pull the strings are saying we are entering a 'la niña' from a 'el niño' which means the Pacific is cooling, bringing a shed load of bad weather. That said the UK weather is run by Camalot, no chance of winning, the same as the lottery, but they keep telling you that, you will win 😅

Congratulations on the 10k Dave. I’m up to 2000 miles on my Guzzi V7 now and still loving it. Mine rocks away upon starting but on the move I haven’t noticed much vibration. What has surprised me is how well it handles and what a little flyer it is. Once your at 3k revs it just flies and it’s a right hoot to blast about on. Yes like you it’s a talking point, it always gets admiring looks when I pull up at the cafe areas. As for the hot spring, what a load of 💩we can all look at statistics and make them say what you want them to say. We know how cold it feels when out and about, if they say it’s the wettest ever then I’ll believe that. I’ve given up on the government and most institutions, I just don’t believe anything they say. Is it the effects of AI ? Who knows, it’s not even worth a rant anymore. Keep up the good work, your videos are far more interesting than the news.

Congratulations on reaching the first 10000 subscribers. The next 10000 will be easier! Totally agree with you regarding the weather. Like you, I've had to put the thermal liners back in my motorcycle clothing and break out the thermal long johns for use under my riding jeans. Those Grip Puppies work well, and as you say, do not buy the cheap knock-off version. I did buy the genuine and cheap version and the cheap version split whilst being fitted. I did get my money back. There is something very characterful and entertaining about riding a Moto Guzzi that reminds me of my old air-cooled BMW boxers. Never owned a plastic maggot but did have a few boxers. Guzzi dealers are few and far as I think it's always been.

Nice and enjoyable video - thanks. I am of 1962 vintage so the same age as you and fully concur that 1976 was a hot summer but it only started end May then seemed to last forever! What has changed enormously since then is the growth of sensationalism and also how statistics is used to support this. I suspect the story is based on facts that are manipulated to support said story (just look at the statistical garbage coming from all political parties for the upcoming election - it all gets knocked down the next day). I always fall back on Mark Twain: "There are 3 kinds of lies - lies, damn lies and statistics" and "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please" !!!!!!!

Hi Dave, I live in Pennsylvania, USA, so I didn't experience the UK spring, but I'm guessing that "hottest" is not the correct word for the weather. If it rained frequently, then there must have been plenty of cloud cover, which raises the average temperature vs. a spring when there is little cloud cover and the temperature drops sharply overnight. And perhaps the slightly warmer than average temperatures contributed to the continuing clouds and precipitation. I can easily imagine the Powers That Be exploiting the average temperature to advance an agenda, but it may well have been true that it was the warmest (not hottest) spring on record. I only advocate critical thinking rather than a political stance (such stances seem to be ruining the globe), and I offer this as a possible explanation of why the empirical data may be correct, even if it was presented in a political way. Also, you gotta put that Guzzi away; just a couple more videos and I'm going to have to buy one. Do it for me, and my bank account, and my marriage, Dave! Thank you for the video!

To add to your thoughts ! I too held rank in a similar 'public institution' like yourself, and you know there were times that 'instructions' came from 'above, that what you were dealing 'with at work, had not to be told to the press or public ! Now if you and me, as very small grains of sand in this life, were experiencing this, many thousands of others were too ! So when it comes to the even bigger, broader, political subjects, the public will be told what the establishment wants them to hear, not what is factual ! I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but now with age and experience, I'm very cynical about what ever is put put for 'public' consumption !

I love the vibrations of the MG but I have upgraded to a performance filter and stack and Mistral, and I am experiencing more vibrations, especially at low RPM on higher gear, nothing of this before.. is that a thing you feel? Not sure how to fix this, they told that the ECU would sort of recalculate over time but not sure really Thank you and good rides

Due to the fact that most of our MP s may not be the correct and upright people that we expect them to be . That a lot of public money has been invested in EV development, a battle which is now being lost, means that more misinformation is required to support net zero. The more outlandish these claims become the less they will be taken seriously and they think were stupid.

If you think about it, gaslighting in the UK isn't a new thing. 1970s...Oil will run out in 10 years 1980s...acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years 1990s...ozone layer will be gone in 10 years 2000s...global warming will destroy all life on earth And what do they all have in common?

Agree with everything there Dave , I'm sick of the patronising attitude of the news and weather reports, it's as if they're talking to a young naive generation that aren't old enough to have seen the weather for themselves decades ago as we have ! But even they can do their own research of the records, so who are they trying to kid ? As you say it's getting bloody tiresome, I'm sick of shouting " ah fk off " at the TV 😆 I don't take the weather reports as said , I look out the window and either put my waterproof gear on if it looks iffy, or put it in my pannier bags if it's bright or sunny and bollocks to it and just go out , I'm not having my freedom of movement swayed by false extremities of weather advising us not to travel as thunderstorms or extreme heat are expected ,..anyway ranting aside, congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers !

When it gets past 35c then l go to the coast where it may be 10c cooler even though it's only 10 miles away. I used to do the same in exactly the same temps 40 years ago....... last time l saw blue sky in Saltaire may have been last October. 😂

That's a strange one Dave, we have had a really warm winter, but Spring here in Spain has been cooler than normal, still hot but not normal. We now are getting towards the start of Summer 21st of June, and it's in the low 30s for the last few years we have been in the high 30s. Apparently the boffins that pull the strings are saying we are entering a 'la niña' from a 'el niño' which means the Pacific is cooling, bringing a shed load of bad weather. That said the UK weather is run by Camalot, no chance of winning, the same as the lottery, but they keep telling you that, you will win 😅
If nothing cracks or falls off your motorcycle doesn't vibrate.

Congratulations on the 10k Dave. I’m up to 2000 miles on my Guzzi V7 now and still loving it. Mine rocks away upon starting but on the move I haven’t noticed much vibration. What has surprised me is how well it handles and what a little flyer it is. Once your at 3k revs it just flies and it’s a right hoot to blast about on. Yes like you it’s a talking point, it always gets admiring looks when I pull up at the cafe areas. As for the hot spring, what a load of 💩we can all look at statistics and make them say what you want them to say. We know how cold it feels when out and about, if they say it’s the wettest ever then I’ll believe that. I’ve given up on the government and most institutions, I just don’t believe anything they say.

Like you, I've had to put the thermal liners back in my motorcycle clothing and break out the thermal long johns for use under my riding jeans. Those Grip Puppies work well, and as you say, do not buy the cheap knock-off version. I did buy the genuine and cheap version and the cheap version split whilst being fitted. I did get my money back. There is something very characterful and entertaining about riding a Moto Guzzi that reminds me of my old air-cooled BMW boxers. Never owned a plastic maggot but did have a few boxers.

What has changed enormously since then is the growth of sensationalism and also how statistics is used to support this. I suspect the story is based on facts that are manipulated to support said story (just look at the statistical garbage coming from all political parties for the upcoming election - it all gets knocked down the next day). I always fall back on Mark Twain: "There are 3 kinds of lies - lies, damn lies and statistics" and "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please" !!!!!!!

Hi Dave, I live in Pennsylvania, USA, so I didn't experience the UK spring, but I'm guessing that "hottest" is not the correct word for the weather. If it rained frequently, then there must have been plenty of cloud cover, which raises the average temperature vs. a spring when there is little cloud cover and the temperature drops sharply overnight. And perhaps the slightly warmer than average temperatures contributed to the continuing clouds and precipitation. I can easily imagine the Powers That Be exploiting the average temperature to advance an agenda, but it may well have been true that it was the warmest (not hottest) spring on record. I only advocate critical thinking rather than a political stance (such stances seem to be ruining the globe), and I offer this as a possible explanation of why the empirical data may be correct, even if it was presented in a political way. Also, you gotta put that Guzzi away; just a couple more videos and I'm going to have to buy one. Do it for me, and my bank account, and my marriage, Dave! Thank you for the video!

I love the vibrations of the MG but I have upgraded to a performance filter and stack and Mistral, and I am experiencing more vibrations, especially at low RPM on higher gear, nothing of this before.. is that a thing you feel? Not sure how to fix this, they told that the ECU would sort of recalculate over time but not sure really Thank you and good rides

Hi no they are the Arrow exhausts which come with the Stone Special Edition
Don't new MG 's have hydraulic valve adjustment?
I did a fair few miles on my moto guzzi California never had an issue with vibration at all, maybe worth having a ride on another one for a comparison or is it just the v7 for some reason?
6:56. There is at least one other bike in history with the same configuration; the Indian 841 produced between 1941 and 1943.

Indian dealerships wanted a civilian version of the 841 but management didn't listen to them.😢

Much respect to you Dave, but your local Yorkshire weather this spring/summer is no reflection of the bigger climate picture. Kudos for reaching 10K subs! Keep it coming and grow the tribe. 👍
Talking about the Plastic Maggot - Honda did a turbo version back in the 1980’s. Never fancied turbo bikes because of the throttle lag. Anyone ever ride a turbo?

If you're watching the b bc then you're living in an Orwellian dystopia!
Due to the fact that most of our MP s may not be the correct and upright people that we expect them to be . That a lot of public money has been invested in EV development, a battle which is now being lost, means that more misinformation is required to support net zero. The more outlandish these claims become the less they will be taken seriously and they think were stupid.
Bollock numbing freezing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely don't agree wit a lot of what SF says but this is something that everyone I know is saying. I have yet to meet anyone who believes it. We can only hope that they have actually over played their hand finally and the illusion bubble has been burst.
Congratulatiions A bike without vibrations is just... dead or electric 🤑😝

There is far too little intelligent discourse between the authorities and the public.
Your dead right, I think global warming. Its a total load of crap. Makes you think, why would anybody want to come to England 😂😂😂
