Beautiful landscapes and so artfully filmed ! I imagine that you are riding in Wales, Yorkshire and Scotland ? The soundtrack is very good too...just right not too loud and distracting. Thank you !
Friend from across the Atlantic, during this year your videos were an invitation to travel to your beautiful region and especially a moment of serenity and calm that offers the bike. Lonely man tied to books and your dog, tea milk and your only companion on the road with your endless jacket... Words seem useless to your beautiful images, you are certainly right. Ben Blake on your tube, makes videos where the lone biker makes us discover unknown lands... happy holidays and next year... in Provençal (language of the provence) for a long time...
Looking forward to seeing more of the same ....your video's are amazing quality & am quite sure I speak for all your followers....we appreciate how much effort goes into making one!! More, more, more ....please Very well done Regards Steve
Thanks Matt. Looking forward to your vids for 23. I've just moved to the Lake District area Eden Valley & North Pennines from Hampshire, so I'm looking forward to exploring new places. All the best.
Thanks Jeremy, I would definitely recommend creating some videos of your biking adventures, if nothing else it's a great way to relive the trips when the weather tells you you can't ride. I hope you have a great New Year!
@@ClassicRides Thanks Matt for your reply and indeed driving the NC500 was the most wonderful tour I ever drove, together with other Lotus drivers from Holland. I am now watching the video of your NC500 trip with your Triumph Bonneville T120. I see all the places back I saw during my trip. It is inviting to do your trip eventually with my Bonnie T100. Please continue your inspiring video's
Actually the best moto recap I've seen so far. Really beautiful place you live-perfect for exploring, and you've got the perfect bike for it. Cheers for sharing such dope content over the past year-looking forward to where you'll ride in '23! Be safe out there.
Hi Matt, many thanks for your vids this year. Looking forward to the upcoming ones. They are like paintings from the great masters. They take you in another dimension and time frame. All the best for 2023 and many safe miles. Kind regards.
Thanks for taking the time to leave so many nice comments this year Mark, it’s good folk like yourself that let me know it’s worthwhile making the videos. I hope you and your family have a really great New Year!
Thanks Matt. Great content which got me astride a bike again after a 15-year hiatus; it just happened to be a Triumph too! Hope to bump into you in the Peak District in 2023. Shiny side up!
That’s nice to hear, glad to have been of service 😁. It’s entirely possible we’ll cross paths, hopefully there’ll be some ‘Classic Rideouts’ this year so perhaps you can come along to one. Hope you have a great New Year!
Such a creative video and inovative way of filming, congrats! I really like how you have put music in sync with action, especially the scene when puting in a first gear on a beat 🙂👏! Thnx for sharing 👍!
Thank you for all the time you put into editing your videos. I'm looking forward to more great content and rides in the future. Cheers from Australia, and wish you the very best New Year
Amazing video my friend amazing moto With full of respect for your bike Retro bikes are only for the riders who know what means a classic bike Thank you
Hello Mat, how good to see you again, so many memories... beautiful video, I take this opportunity to wish you, as well as all your followers, that they have an excellent end of the year and a 2023 full of successes!!! My best wishes to all. big hug and congratulations.
Hi Matt, love the films you create just my kind of viewing. Beautiful bike, cracking scenery and great footage justifies it. Look forward to more in 2023.
Excellent Matt, just excellent 👌. I can fully relate to it that’s for sure. Lone solo rides, beautiful country scenery, rural roads, stop off in a quiet spot and have a drink of tea from the flask, it don’t get much better than that. All the very best Matt in 2023 👍🏻
Enjoy watching your videos Matt and all of the excellent content that you film. Look forward to seeing more from you in 2023 and here's to more great rides throughout next year. Ride safe and enjoy the scenery.
Thanks Lee, I don’t know how exactly but I’m hoping for equally good or better rides in 2023, once it stops raining 😁 I hope you have a great New Year!
Great effort Matt. I'm envious of your scenery and your roads after emigrating from Cheshire to North Queensland. We may have better weather Down Under but the roads are all so straight! I love the content. Keep it coming.
What a year! Your videos were a big influence in my decision to purchase a T120. Looking forward to your adventures in 2023 and as well as my own here in the United States.
Hi Matt, A stunning montage of clips,thank you for your vlogs this past year,some epic trips far & wide,look forward to your vlogs next year,all the very best👍
Enjoyed the rides! Just stumbled upon your video searching for T120 content. Liked and subscribed. Purchased my '17 T120 around Halloween after a few years with an SE and 25 years with classic T140s.
@@ClassicRides Oh we go way back. My dad had '71 and '72 T120s before being stolen. I rode pillion on them while he said they were the only ones with enough torque to to pull him (my dad was a large man). HDs, Honda, Yams, Suzs, Kaws. He worked on them all. But the only ones to pull him up a hill was a 360º crank Triumph.
Matt, congratulations on a great year of motorcycle content! Your videos are both inspirational and aspirational. They make me want to ride twice as far, and twice as much!! You are truly an artist. I am looking forward to more great productions in 2023! Wishing for you and yours a very happy new year. Stay safe and be well. All the very best!
Thanks so much Stephen, that's very kind of you to say. I'm really happy my videos are causing you want to get out and ride a bit more, I would consider my work done with that feat achieved. I wish you and your family a very great New Year 🎉
Sucks the weather would not allow a final ride. Has been freezing here in Virginia but looks like 60 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend so I gassing up the t120 one more time. Happy new year Matt.
Good to see you're getting a chance to get out there, we've had sub zero temperatures followed by constant rain, hopefully next week and the start of 2023 will be better on the weather front. Happy New Year to you too Mike!
Hello Matt; congratulations for the high quality of your videos, breathtaking landscapes, beautiful shots from your Bonneville T120. I live in Brazil and I just bought the T120 too. It will arrive in February. For now, my tours are in the beautiful footage offered by you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I bet you can’t wait for your new bike! Until then I’m glad my videos can keep you excited about the adventures you’ll go on. Hope you have a great New Year!

Really enjoyed that short round-up of your rides this year. First of yours I`ve seen, really enjoyed the content, the bike and the incredible scenery, also the way you ride. You have a beautiful bike, nothing to prove, I have liked and subscribed and look forward to more journeys next year, All the best for the New Year. Oh I stumbled to here after hearing TAYM mention you on one of his clips recently, glad he recommended you.
Thanks Mike, glad you liked the round-up video and glad to have you as a subscriber. TAYM seems like a lovely chap, his mutterings are a thing to behold 😁
Thanks for all the support this year Mark, it means such a lot to have good folk like yourself actively supporting the channel, plenty more to come next year! I hope you and your family have a great New Years Eve tonight 🎉
Wow this is a beautiful retrospective ! Bike, landscape, music everything is there ! And you are good to bring it all together ! I am looking forward for 2023 rides ! Happy new year Matt ! Keep enjoying riding ✌
Hi Matt,A lovely collection of clips to end the year on.I have changed my T100 for a new Street twin got a bit fed up with the polishing.Happy new year Pete.
Thank you sooo much for your fantastic inspiring videos, Mat! Can you may be tell us a lil about the variety of panniers you use?? Thank you! Wish you a peaceful year 2023!!!
Thanks! The bags are waxed canvas panniers and duffle bags that I've put together as they really suit modern classic bikes. If you 'd like more info you can find them on my website at: www.classic-rides.co.uk/collections/shop-luggage Wishing you all the best for 2023 too!
Un placer ver de nuevo tus vídeos,que tengas tu y los tuyos unas felices fiestas y un feliz año nuevo!!! Feliz Año Nuevo para todos los moteros,un saludo desde España.
Hi Matt....lovely video.....I get the feeling you have probably helped sell a lot of T120s for Triumph.....can I ask...have they ever contacted you as a result of your wonderful videos. Happy new year to you Matt and all your viewer's.
Thanks Nick, I've had a quite a few folk send me a message to say that they bought a T120 because of my videos, which I find both bonkers and humbling; and I reached out to Triumph's marketing company a few times to see if I could have access to their press bikes, but seems I'm still too much of a small fish to even get a reply 🐟😁
Hi Matt. Thanks for another great video. Can I ask - have you tried Motone's Saturn V pipes? Seem to remember seeing them in an earlier video. If you did, what did you think of them? Cheers, Andy.
Hi Andy, yes I did have a pair on the bike briefly. They sounded fantastic and they're really well made. For me though I had a number of small things that made me put the peashooters back on. The main problem was that the angle of the pipes meant it was shooting hot exhaust at the bottom of my panniers, I carry a fair amount of camera gear in my bags so I decided there was too much risk of melting something with them. Also the colour on the polished Saturn V's had a slight yellowing to the finish, which once I noticed it I couldn't unsee it. Then finally, honestly I think I just much prefer the look of the peashooters, I think they're more in line with how a Bonneville should look, so even without those small issues I think would have ended up putting the peashooters back on anyway. BUT, the Saturn V's do sound amazing and the shortened length means adjusting the chain is far easier, so if you like how they look then I say go for it.
@@ClassicRides thanks for that detailed reply Matt, that's really helpful. I know what you mean about the look of the peashooters. It's the chain adjustment that is the pain, which is why I was looking at alternatives....
@@andyjackson6731 Well they'll certainly help with adjusting the chain. Personally I bought a couple of angled spanners so I don't need to remove the pipes to fettle the chain 🔧
@@andyjackson6731 sure thing, I got mine from PrimeTools, you want to search for: Beta 73 Metric Midget Wrench Spanner Open Ends at 15 & 75 Degrees, and you’ll need a 12mm & a 13mm.
Probably the 7th time I've watched this video and it's probably my favorite on all of youtube regardless of subject matter. Great bike, great editing, great music. BTW, what are the soundtracks on this? Love this kind of music.
Thanks Jeffrey, it’s one of my favourite edits too. I can’t quite remember the names of the music artists now, but I’ll have gotten them off Artlist which I use for a lot of the tracks in my videos.
@@ClassicRides Just watched this again. I watch a lot of motorcycle videos/reviews and this is still by far the best one out there. Just masterful and so enjoyable. It is exceptional in every way. Well done sir.
Have you ever considered a wind shield or is that considered sacrilege amongst the Bonneville community? I'm a new owner but I put one on my 2022 t120 and like some aspects of it but the one thing I don't like is the fact that I can't hear my engine roar like I could with out it. Cheers on a great video.
I font find the wind too bad to be honest, the air that hits you nice a clean so for summer I think being without one is a bonus. Though I am thinking for this winter I might fit an Ashai No99 mini screen.
That silver is a perfekt color for the bonnie👍 I'm a big fan of " Tank-bags" ... You dont' like it? Is the nice rack not perfect for it? Greeting from north germany, Bernhard
I haven’t been stopped yet, but I’m careful about where and when to use it and I don’t ride like a plonker, so I think as long as you don’t give the police a proper reason to pull you over it’ll be ok.
Beautiful landscapes and so artfully filmed ! I imagine that you are riding in Wales, Yorkshire and Scotland ? The soundtrack is very good too...just right not too loud and distracting. Thank you !
Thanks Alex, glad you liked it. You’re right in the areas, a lot of The Peak & Lake District too
One man ,solitude ,and his trusty steed ..his bike ...great video ...I have a t120 2019 diamond edition no145 ...a bike with character ..love it

That's fair enough Pete, polishing's no fun for anyone! Hope you have a great New Year too.
Thank you sooo much for your fantastic inspiring videos, Mat!
Can you may be tell us a lil about the variety of panniers you use?? Thank you!
Wish you a peaceful year 2023!!!
Thanks! The bags are waxed canvas panniers and duffle bags that I've put together as they really suit modern classic bikes. If you 'd like more info you can find them on my website at: www.classic-rides.co.uk/collections/shop-luggage
Wishing you all the best for 2023 too!
Thank you!!! 🙏

You had a good year for sure. Nice vid👍
It's had its ups and downs for sure!
Hi Matt....lovely video.....I get the feeling you have probably helped sell a lot of T120s for Triumph.....can I ask...have they ever contacted you as a result of your wonderful videos.
Happy new year to you Matt and all your viewer's.
Thanks Nick, I've had a quite a few folk send me a message to say that they bought a T120 because of my videos, which I find both bonkers and humbling; and I reached out to Triumph's marketing company a few times to see if I could have access to their press bikes, but seems I'm still too much of a small fish to even get a reply 🐟😁
@@ClassicRides Mmmm I would say they are missing an opportunity.
Prob the wrong person reading your letter maybe.
Hi Matt. Thanks for another great video. Can I ask - have you tried Motone's Saturn V pipes? Seem to remember seeing them in an earlier video. If you did, what did you think of them? Cheers, Andy.
Hi Andy, yes I did have a pair on the bike briefly. They sounded fantastic and they're really well made. For me though I had a number of small things that made me put the peashooters back on. The main problem was that the angle of the pipes meant it was shooting hot exhaust at the bottom of my panniers, I carry a fair amount of camera gear in my bags so I decided there was too much risk of melting something with them. Also the colour on the polished Saturn V's had a slight yellowing to the finish, which once I noticed it I couldn't unsee it. Then finally, honestly I think I just much prefer the look of the peashooters, I think they're more in line with how a Bonneville should look, so even without those small issues I think would have ended up putting the peashooters back on anyway.
BUT, the Saturn V's do sound amazing and the shortened length means adjusting the chain is far easier, so if you like how they look then I say go for it.
@@ClassicRides thanks for that detailed reply Matt, that's really helpful. I know what you mean about the look of the peashooters. It's the chain adjustment that is the pain, which is why I was looking at alternatives....
@@andyjackson6731 Well they'll certainly help with adjusting the chain. Personally I bought a couple of angled spanners so I don't need to remove the pipes to fettle the chain 🔧
@@ClassicRides genius solution! If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me where you sources those?
@@andyjackson6731 sure thing, I got mine from PrimeTools, you want to search for: Beta 73 Metric Midget Wrench Spanner Open Ends at 15 & 75 Degrees, and you’ll need a 12mm & a 13mm.
Awsome video, how many miles have you put on that beauty?
Thanks, I’ve just rolled over 20k on it now 👍
Probably the 7th time I've watched this video and it's probably my favorite on all of youtube regardless of subject matter. Great bike, great editing, great music. BTW, what are the soundtracks on this? Love this kind of music.
Thanks Jeffrey, it’s one of my favourite edits too. I can’t quite remember the names of the music artists now, but I’ll have gotten them off Artlist which I use for a lot of the tracks in my videos.
@@ClassicRides Just watched this again. I watch a lot of motorcycle videos/reviews and this is still by far the best one out there. Just masterful and so enjoyable. It is exceptional in every way. Well done sir.
@@JeffreyBoehm-t5sthanks very much 🙏
Wow
🙏
Cheers and happy New year to you 🍻
Thanks Dave, happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Amazing video! Hoping to get a T120 this year. Got a question: what boots are you wearing at 1:26? I’m really liking them.
The black boots at 1.26 are Rokker Urban Racer's. They're a little expensive but worth it as they'll last a lifetime if looked after.
Thank you!
Great video, I'm looking at buying my first T120. What year is yours?
Mine is a 2017 🙂
Have you ever considered a wind shield or is that considered sacrilege amongst the Bonneville community? I'm a new owner but I put one on my 2022 t120 and like some aspects of it but the one thing I don't like is the fact that I can't hear my engine roar like I could with out it. Cheers on a great video.
I font find the wind too bad to be honest, the air that hits you nice a clean so for summer I think being without one is a bonus. Though I am thinking for this winter I might fit an Ashai No99 mini screen.
Good job.
Thanks 🙏
Q u a l i t y !!!! ❤️👍
Thanks, it was a quality year!
That silver is a perfekt color for the bonnie👍
I'm a big fan of " Tank-bags" ...
You dont' like it?
Is the nice rack not perfect for it?
Greeting

I don’t really like tank bags to be honest, though I’ll use one if I need to and the rack is perfect for it.
I like the silver on black registration plate. Don't the police ever stop you?
I haven’t been stopped yet, but I’m careful about where and when to use it and I don’t ride like a plonker, so I think as long as you don’t give the police a proper reason to pull you over it’ll be ok.
@@ClassicRides I noticed that at one point in the video, you had a conventional plate on it. I much prefer the old ones.
Triumph should pay you, great marketing for them.
That’d be nice 😁
