Freddie love your stuff - my wife loves you!! Not sure when you were in Scotland but I did the NC 500 for 10 days starting 4th June to And from the Cotswolds wait for it…..on a 35 year old YB100cc that has done 32000 miles on the original engine. Oh and I’m a 23 stone 70 year old!! I’m currently editing videos the first one comes out tomorrow. Weather for me was fantastic!

Hi Freddie good evening. This is Sunil from New Delhi India. Love watching your videos. Wanted to buy Boneyville T100 in 2017 but due to unforeseen financial losses suffered in business, had to shelve the plans. Have booked RE Super Mateor in Feb and awaiting it's delivery. Happy Riding Himalayan

After my brother 'gave' me his almost new KZ900, he bought this. Back then, it seemed soooo smooth to ride. And, sooo futuristic. Yeah, I would believe, if asked back then, if it'd do 100k miles, absolutely. Thank you Freddie! Oh, my brother let me take this out one late night (as an older brother would, he threatened my life if anything happened while I was riding this! Lol, well, something did but I didn't tell him until years later, 😮). Like I said, late evening, wee small hours of the morning, I was the only one on a very wide and long and dark freeway, when I decided to test this thing, see what it felt like to go over 100 miles an hour on a bike. I was watching the Speedo climb over 100 and something, when I noticed I wasn't the only one on the freeway. What caught my attention, was red and blue flashing lights all around me, or so it seemed, I looked over my shoulder, about knocked me off the bike from the scare, was a motorcycle Highway Patrol. He was right on my shoulder! Man, I haven't thought about that for I don't know how long, sorry for all the comments Freddie.

I love this- what a story! It’s funny how a bike can transport you right back to a specific moment in time🙂
Freddie, you should be with a major TV company! Your way of mixing riding and scenery in your editing is quite simply superb. I added a sub and am now working my way through your entire back catalogue of videos, they're all fantastic. Your ease of presentation is brilliant, AND you speak as a fellow biker, with very interesting tips and ideas. Thank you so much for all your content, keep up the great work. Ride safe mate
Wait until you meet Mr Midge and his many , many family friends !

Your channel is blowing up! I always knew this would eventually happen as soon as I stumbled upon one of your videos nearly 3 months ago. Congrats on 100k (almost)

Saltire is where I picked up my classic 350 a year ago, great place and a great bunch of guys. Always seem interested to show you around and the cafe is great for a biker lunch (or a good cup of tea).
Glad you perservered through your challenges to make this trip & managed to secure your Himalayan,look forward to your next vlog,safe riding 👊😉
What a fantastic overnight stop (helped by the beautiful weather of course 😎) and I’m very much looking forward to the rest of this trip and seeing how you feel about the Himalayan. I keep getting tempted to add one to my stable as a lightweight fun green lanes bike 👍

I’ll try and not give too much away on my thoughts re the Himalayan, but it was genuinely thrashed for five days solid!
Lovely cafe to start the day.
I thought I recognised Craig. (Scrambler AMS) My wife and I spent a week riding with him on Gran Canaria back in 2016. He's a really nice guy and a really good rider. Looks great accommodation and an interesting trip. 👍
WoW! awesome vid freddie... blown away by the quality of your vids... can't wait for the next one!
How fortunate you are to take life by the horns and choose your path. Looks absolutely relaxing.

Personally I'd rather hear the bikes than the music, particularly when it's piped at a somewhat higher level than the speech - makes me jump out of my seat when it starts 😎
Looks great Freddie nice one
I would love to ride through the town of Chillingbourne on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. ❤
Brilliant Freddie.
The modified interceptor looks incredible. I’m new to Royal Enfield and recently moved away from sportsbikes to a ‘22 Continental GT 650, partly down to your review of the dux deluxe model 😊 loving it so far 👍🏼
Good start weatherwise. Great panniers on your RE. 95,000 miles on that Kawasaki. He obviouslyt cleans it. Only six hours of daylight sounds grim. 1990
Lovely colours and framing at the end there Freddie.... thanks for sharing.
Freddie again!
