    10 years.. A decade.. holy shit. I remember when I started watching your videos Chris. I was like 23, newly single and I didn't even own a bike back then. Although I'd always wanted one. I remember binge watching all your videos, you ranting your way to and from old London town was hilarious! So much has changed in my own life since then, good to look back and appreciate it. I did a solo trip in 2018 to Barcelona to watch the F1, stopped in Paris for 3 nights beforehand and did a load of cycling tours, winebar tour, art museum tours, I met loads of people mainly *because* I was on my own, people in the groups were asking me where I was going next etc. and how cool it was to travel on your own, totally your own schedule. It taught me not to be scared of trying it and that I *can* depend on myself and that I am a half decent mechanic when needed. So I now understand why you did your solo trip, I got a lot out of mine. I met other bikers at fuel stations, cafes, anywhere and everywhere having proper hour long conversations sometimes! Good memories and I will do it again but I have more friends now who always want to come on trips with me and they don't get why I'd go alone.. I always just tell them to try it and then they'll get it. Love your videos Chris and the walking in the morning. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. Please keep doing it.

    Do not cut the footage with no sound it is great to just watch riding in new scenery ,also a series on rebuilding/renewing the front end/shocks on the mighty GSXR would be a interesting watch for many with older bikes,surely some manufacturer/supplier would support it ? You could do a before & after track day &/or longer ride ,tour to show the difference as too many put up with handling issues on older bikes instead of sorting it. Great to have you back & where did that 10yrs go ???You do not give yourself enough credit ,that bike talk you did about depression on the ride into London all those years ago was life changing for me & a couple of mates l showed it too.Bloody good stuff

    I've owned my 1993 FireBlade from new, so I know where you're coming from. So many good good memories. 😊👍
    Top video. Thanks.

    I haven’t watched a video in a minute, came back to see if you’d put up any new content recently and first video is this beauty back. I remember watching videos of you on this bike when i was back in uni. We’re getting old boys.

    Feel this way about my 2008 triumph street triple with 42k on the clock. It just fits like a well worn in glove, absolutely love it! 😍

    10 years... and still great to see fab content coming our way! That really has flown by. Subbed to this channel when I came back from living overseas and was shopping for a bike. No longer ride due to the fam but one day... Cheers fella.
