I have to say Freddie, Monika's filmiing and editing skills are second to none, people do ot realise what a skillset it actually is,
Maybe the Bonnie just needed a few days for the electrics to really dry out as well , or it was sulking after you left it out outside for week in the rain. I think you have to show it more love ❤
I really think you’re spot on with this. Leaving the bike out in the rain was more damaging than I thought it’d be😳
As a motorcyclist I love that content. But I also love the historical travelogue stuff. Monica's videography is amazing. She has a good eye.
The Missenden Flyer, All Year Round Motorcyclist and Freddie Dobbs - all so different but Freddie - in your own way you put a great slant on the subjects you cover and indeed, Rye is a gorgeous place!
As a precaution Freddie I would spray all the handlebar switches and the ignition barrel with WD40 or similar. Using the thin pipe attachment. I think the problem was water was shorting your electrics. It may well have dried out now but by spraying you will prevent future corrosion within the terminals. Also take off side panels and spray there too.
Lovely video of Rye! 👍
Or even better use ACF-50
@@f19ash Great for bodywork but maybe a little bit too viscous for switch contacts?
@@JLOSTAFF1 “ACF-50 (Anti-Corrosion Formula) was originally designed to protect aircraft from existing and new corrosion and is now available to motorcyclists. Aviation products have to meet rigorously high standards and ACF-50 not only meets these but has been awarded Aviation approvals - MIL-SPEC 81309 types II and III which means it is 'approved for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, electrical systems and electronic components'. The US Navy carried out tests using ACF-50 on the jets on their Aircraft Carriers. They found that ACF-50 so significantly reduced the corrosion they had previously experienced they now use ACF-50 all the time!”
Freddie, I wouldn’t use WD40 on the switches or ignition. If there's a problem with any of those in the short term WD40 might help, in the longer term it'll just make things worse as it'll just attract more dust and dirt. Use Graphite powder on any thing that uses a key. For the switches use a can of compressed air and gently spray any gunk out of them
@@paulro4I have to disagree. Been using it for years and years on motorcycle switches. I’m 64 and never had a problem. The switches are covered so no muck should enter. I appreciate we all have our thoughts on what’s right and wrong. I can only base my advice on my trouble free experiences?
I'm glad the battery was at fault - simple fix now. Thanks for taking us on a rambling tour of Rye, lovely time of the year - unseasonably warm :) Great autumnal colours, thanks too to Monika for her videography and editing and production. The lovely background music too!
In my 28 years of motorbike ownership I've had plenty of Regulator rectifiers break & I heavily suspect that the battery wasn't charging & that's why it ran badly on 1 & half cylinders & then cut out .
Before Freddie rides anywhere he needs to check the battery is charging while running or he mightl be paying a tow truck to take him home
Rye is so beautiful!
Check the charging of the Boneville. Get a voltmeter. Check the voltage with everything off, then start the bike. Check the voltage at idle and at higher revs. At higher revs it should read over 13 volts. If it doesn’t, you have a charging problem. If it does, you have a bad battery. They are expensive but I love lithium batteries. If there’s no parasitic drain they will hold a charge for a year. They typically weigh about 1/3 of a lead acid or AGM battery.
@@BlueRidgeRider I agree. It should be over 13 volts whatever the revs though
@@superelectic45I wasn’t sure about a 13 year old Triumph. A lot of older bikes could barely charge the battery at idle so I didn’t want him fixing a “normal” condition.
@@deanroberts2021 1 n a half cilinder?😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂
My wife and I went to Rye back in 2016, such a lovely little place steeped in history.
In a country full of beautiful towns and villages Rye is a place that one would have to put near the top of the list. Another enjoyable production from the two of you.
That expression of joy when the bike started is one we've all experienced. Thanks for the trip to Rye and the history and stories as always.
Freddie needs his own history series the hipster historian
I wonder.
Water.
After the run through all that water in Suffolk, and being left out in the rain on London, was the starter circuit shorting?
Now dried out.
Wd40 and dielectric grease is your friend.
Good to see you have found safe storage.
Ride safe. Happy travels 👍
Very good point re the Suffolk flooding- this could easily have been the issue now I think about it😳
One of my most favourite places. I lived (until recently) about 45 minutes away and visited regularly.
Ohh Freddie, so glad the Bonneville started! I really thought all of the electrical system fried by being left in the pouring rain 🤔 Thankfully it has all come good & now be at peace. Lovely seeing Monika waving to us with the long shadows of available light👌 You both a shining stars in the universe 💫💫 Fix the tank & store it for winter😉
Thank you Steve! I really didn’t think it would start🕺
What a great emotional response when the bike started. Brilliant!
Expectations are a great driver of emotion. Loved the visit to Rye 👍👍
Rye is indeed lovely, we visited it back in 1999. They make lovely porcelain there and my home’s street number plate comes from Rye 😁
Fantastic watching!! great music 😊
What a great way to start my Sunday morning, coffee cafetière all ready and a session watching Freddie Dobbs, looking forward to this one. ☕🏍👍
Coffee cafetière is good and so is tea teapot.
The look on your face when the bike started was a picture, actually laughed out loud. I actually felt your joy. Know the feeling only too well. Had to change the ecu on my classic 500 after going through the whole electrical system with a toothpick.
Very nice Freddie. Exactly how my wife and I like to spend our days. Touring into history and food.
Freddie i love your honestly about not wanting to work on bikes.
Love Rye not just the old town, I visit the nature reserve round the corner with its cool WWII pillbox, great fish and chips
Freddie, your content is like none other on YT. Your laid-back delivery and Monika's photography make an incredible combination. So much fun to watch! Keep up the great work!
I swear you two should have your own mainstream tv travel show
Lovely video, thank you
I could feel your relief when it fired up!
I know that feeling well 😊
There's no doubt in my mind you and Monica should get proceeds from the income England gets from tourism, You two are great embassadors for the beautiful places England has to offer. Thank you for another beautiful video🙏.
Thanks for the little travelogue Freddie. l enjoy the short glimpses of Olde Worlde England...Such a contrast to what we currently view on news media of discontent and anger...
I really respect you sticking with one bike despite trying several as well as possibly being able to just change to a new one. There’s something special about having a close relationship with only one bike.
I do love the Bonneville- so many good times with it🖤🏍️
Absolutely, How many times have we thought 'Your gonna have to go' then lived to regret that decision. l know l have..
Freddie, absolutely loved your reaction when the Bonneville started 🥳🥳🥳 Found myself letting out an involuntary “yayyyy” 😂
And I hope Monika is OK after the pasta sauce launched itself on her 🥺
Thanks Freddie and Monika for a lovely video...really enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot for showing such a lovely place- Rye! All there aires old history of this town. About name Rye- maybe once there was grown rye and people ate its bread as in Monika's homeland we still do!
No it's a very Old English word but my partner like Monika loves the bread of her childhood. . A friend recently brought her some here in Tenerife from Vilnius and her words "Thats REAL bread, not that white stuff you eat"
Will miss the riumph badge got quite used to it 😂👍🏻
Glad it was just the battery! I was cheering 🎉when I saw it started 😊.
Freddie you should have gone up the church steeple. Amazing views from up there. Must admit one of the reasons i love your channel is you have an older bike and live with its problems like i do and most bikers do. Thankyou great channel.
Morning!…..spent our late summer holiday in Kent this year. Rye was by far the prettiest place that we visited 👌🏻
Great video and what a beautiful place. Thanks again 🎉
What a beautiful spot. Instantly looked at houses for sale in Rye (from Australia!!!!!!!) as I'm sure others did. Plus watching the 007 Road to a million, thanks for the tip. Glad bike is ok too and hope the pasta sauce cleaned up !
Great watch Freddie and Monika 👍
Thanks for the video. Another place for the wife and I to visit on our bikes. 😀
Love Rye , it used to be a regular spot when I lived in east Kent , great ride around the coast , I always visit when I’m back in the UK , I now live in southern Austria , if you’re ever down this way , the kettle is always on ! Great video
Freddie, get a multimeter onto the battery terminals with the bike running....sounds like the reg/rec or genny may have gone as its not charging the battery when running. You want to look for 14v when running, if its less than this you will just drain the battery every time you're out! Good luck!!
If your in Rye I would thoroughly recommend the Globe in the marsh inn on the military canal rd. One of my all time favorite places for food and drink . the roads around there are also perfect for bikes.
Man...Rye looks amazing. I'd sure love to explore all the nooks and crannies of that little town. Good to see the Bonnie back on her feet. You should test to see if the charging system is working properly. A battery shouldn't go flat with the bike sitting there idling. You need a multi-meter but it's a pretty simple and quick job.
2:30 That's just Pure JOY and happiness right there! And maybe some relief as well. Well done Freddie
Rye is lovely and Mermaid Street is truly magical. Visited last summer while staying in the nearby village of Icklesham with its wonderful 17th century country pub The Queen’s Head and we were lucky enough to have the annual county fair on the adjacent rolling fields with its classic car show. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Second other comments about the electrics shorting out - I'd recommend ACF50 for your electrical contacts, as that's what it's designed for!
I go to rye several times a year on my motorbike and park up by the chipshop roundabout, perfect place for a coffee and to chill out for a few hours.
Such a lovely place
You are super lucky Freddy that the start wasn't fried! glad the Bonneville is back on the road :) might need to get a cover for it if you leave it outside
Good old Bonnie, it didn't want to be replaced 😊
Great little town with a long history... would make the old feel young again! Such a beautiful pallet of destinations to visit in UK.
Rye truly is picturesque! Thank you for sharing with us. I would love to see Monika create some Rye prints for The Villon! 📷
Been to Rye many times, I love the place.
I replaced the battery in my Rocket 3 with a lithium ferrous phosphate unit... like 7 years ago I think. Still in perfect working order, and the bike is in a northern climate and gets parked up every winter. Solid investment. That said, even for lead acid batteries, having a trickle charger plugged in to the bike if it has to stand around for any amount of time makes a lot of sense; leave a connector cable attached so you can just fish the cable out from under the seat. Lead-acid batteries last best when they're topped up, as soon as they start getting low on charge they start sulfating up on the inside and just corroding to death basically. If the battery has failed you once - strong recommendation to discard it and buy new. Normal ones are cheap. Also, you may want to fire the bike up with the seat off again and put a multimeter over the battery poles and measure the voltage. If it's not over 14 volts, you may have a stator issue (under 14 volts, a 12 volt lead battery isn't charging).
Another great video Freddie, often a ride-out destination for us from Hailsham. I’m surprised you did mention/film the harbour. A gorgeous fish and chip shop opposite the car park by the net huts. Beautifully filmed Monica. ❤️
That should have read “did not”
2:26 Glad it started. I find it a pretty good looking bike. Remember, it took you through the desert, a quite unforgiving environment. And I do not know to what extent that trip contributed to the problems it suffered subsequently. Desert sand is quite an abrasive element. Anyway, back to Old Blighty, with the inherent charm that comes with it, rain or no rain. And sometimes, just to boost moral, glorious blue skies. What more can you ask?
Cheers.
It is true, Zacharia- the problems genuinely did start from Morocco😳
I've followed this channel for ages......
From all the bike reviews........now tea shops & buildings.
Can't wait for the knitting patterns 😁
Music so simple and beautiful
What a lovely little town.
Glad you get the bike fixed!
Freddie, pleased you got the Bonnie started. Now adjust your headlight. It’s pointing up into the sky!
I will go down now to do it🙂👌🏻
Glad the Bonnie is OK again. As others have said, a good spray with wd 40 around the switches and starter solenoid would be wise! I still think the problem started after you went through those floods. 👍
Very good point, you should really stay clear of large amounts of H2o Freddie, oh yeah and if you must park outside use a cover 😊
Am I the only one who considers my motorcycle a vehicle? If it cannot handle the rain, even torrential one, without cover then there is something wrong with it that needs fixing.
@@MaaZeusrain isn't the problem. Driving through deep water is the problem.
You can buy a can of spray sealer for electrical contacts and wiring, give it a go. I've purchased a spare battery for my bike and put the spare on a optimate charger when not in use. Thanks for taking us to Rye with you and giving us a little historical tour, I'm now going to make sure I find time for a holiday taking in the area as it looks amazing.
Just connect the Optimate charger to the bike if not using it for a few days!
love the Channel Freddie so glad it was just a drained battery!!
just an observation, your headlamp is pointing to the stars!
Glad the Bonneville lives again. Cold and extensively wet weather is a killer for older bikes and their batteries. Lovely video from Monica as normal.
Great to see you in Rye Freddie.. only a few miles from me and some lovely biking roads around here. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Freddie. As others have said, the reason the battery went flat because the starter was engaged all the time it was ticking over. I would douse the switchgear in something like wd40 and keep dry over the winter.
The 20 minute idling reset won’t work for your triumph. You don’t have an ECU for fuelling as you are on caburettors rather than injection. 🎉

Hello Freddie,Monica Another stunning video with so much interesting content. Freddie make sure that the starter motor isn't still engaging ! This is what flattened the battery not the running for 20 minutes, get a new starter relay and charge the battery 😁
Worked in rye at a butchers that was renovated and restored and a deli at winchelsea, spent a good few weeks there, lovely places
Lunch in Rye , you got class Freddie 👍
Fantastic beer in the mermaid too.
Hi Freddie, your videos are becoming works of art. I spent 10 years or so wandering around so many historic places in Europe. Going to the home of Shakespeare was one of my highlight. I was never in Rye but I did take the car across the chunnel one time so I could not have been too far away. Videos like this really remind me of what Europe was like. A shame I won't see them again in person. But I am very pleased to see them again so beautifully shot. Great video.
We stayed at the Mermaid, years ago. Definite splurge for us at the time, stayed in the Queen Mother’s room (which I think they used as an excuse to not refresh the linens.) Had a secret passageway, too.
Cool video I haven’t been there in a long time, that’s nice riding from ashford nice and twisty
superb!
Im glad the Bonnie's back in action. Maybe it's because I still ride a small bike, but I always look forward to seeing the Bonnie out and about 🙂
Great video as always Freddie, by a great videographer…Monica.
Absolutely loved your totally natural reaction to the bike starting…it was a gem!
I hope that’s an end to the problems but have a slight concern that the bike is not charging correctly so do take your emergency starter with you in case the bike’s battery gradually discharges, and leaves you stranded!
Looking forward to the next one J
Rye... Miltary (Canal) Road..... awesome straights with niggly dog knees... to Appledore.... brilliant! Red Lion Pub.... one of a kind place.
I rode down to Rye in August with an old riding buddy to meet up with another old friend I hadn’t seen for 40 years. We met in a car park full of bikes and went to a cafe nearby. It was certainly a nice place to ride out to and great to re-connect with old friends
I was born just outside of Rye and grew up there. You certainly made it look pretty!
Really enjoyed this video. The choice of music ( as so often) was inspired. Just perfect. Many thanks
Damn! It lives 😁
Great film as usual - great ride destination, beautifully filmed and narrated! It could be that idling the bike with the headlamp on for that time took enough out of the battery to lower the voltage so it turned itself off, so it maybe ok, if not, then it’s the charge/voltage regulator which is probably at fault🤞
I used to have a 2009 Bonnerville which suffered from battery problems and finally i had to buy another one. Not from Triumph obviously but it is annoying that's for sure.
you should get a multi meter and check your Charging voltage should be around 14v at idle if you arn't getting that you may have a electrical issue
Love Rye - we’re Westerham / Sevenoaks area and probably go once a month if we can - let the dogs run amok on Camber, then head into Rye.. always the perfect day whatever the weather, and autumn/winter I think gives it a new beauty, it’s my favourite time to be there.
Love this place, try to get here as often as possible. Did you know the author John Ryan lived here, he wrote Captain Pugwash.
I'm from Brazil and I've been following your videos for a while, and man, I really like your videos!
Im no expert.. but handy tip to avoid fuse issues with battery start (I learnt the hard way..) but always attach the positive first then the negative when jump starting.
I was getting excited for you to start shopping for a new bike and content about that lol. Love your videos. Cheers mate.
Pure joy Fred seeing the worry and anxiety gone off your face. I was sure you had drowned it in the puddles previously. I have a power pack and use it and lend it out great little tools. I also bought my 3 daughters one for Xmas last year, always buy them screenwash, plug in heated seats( abs superb). The battery probably died when in storage Fred. It only needs a slight sulphate and it’s the end soon. I would still give it a run to see if the rectifier is working to enable alternator to work. It could have been why cut out after 20 mins as rectifier not permitting charging. It wont affect starting. Put lights on etc to use all battery. My guess is battery is fried and you should get another. Can test with a voltmeter if battery clapped out. Those deep puddles worry me and don’t know where rectifier and alternator are on the bike. Run the bike with headlights on to see if they fully bright or dim and flickers. If bike stopped after 20 mins may not been charging and caused flat. Get Monica to follow u for 20 mins. Also buy some electrical cleaner spray ( silicone) great forcwaterproofing stuff if a tad messy
Great 👍
Hey Freddie, love Rye, in fact I head down there most weekends on my bike from my home in SE London. Some fantastic biking roads in that part of the South East. One of my favourite routes is leaving Rye on the A259 towards Brookland. Stay on the A259 until you see the sign for Jos cafe. Take that turning and follow that road to Appledore and then just before Appledore take a left turn onto the military road back to Rye. Great little circuit. The B2089 from Rye towards the A21 is also a cracking road.
Glad to see you got the Bonnie running again Freddie. Rye looks like an interesting place to visit.
used to be a bike meet at rye,down by the kettle of fish,been closed for a while.
Glad the riumph started.
Freddie, Rye is one of our favourite towns to visit. We live in Seaford which is also lovely but doesn’t have the history of Rye.I am glad it was just the battery now get those badges changed.
Rye is a great place for a ride out, so much to see! Sussex is a good place to ride, but I’m biased! The filming was amazing Monika. Just loved it..Have a great week!
All is well with the world when your bike starts on-the-button. I still think you should keep looking at newer alternatives, though! (Don't want to waste too much time spannering!)
Thanks Steve. And I do agree with you
Its good to see u start to get more handier with the tools Freddy.The Bonneville is talking to u mate .U getting more engineering skills driving the Bonnie.Love your honest opinions on all the bikes u get the change to drive on ,for me the best you tube chanel on bikes
Yes I agree. An old bike teaches you new skills. My rolling museum piece has me well outside my comfort zone at times. Rebuilding brake calipers, nightmares of getting it wrong. They work well now.
Always enjoy your vids. Somehow I think you two could make a slice of toast interesting viewing.
Love your videos Freddie. And I'm glad your bike started, but I'm concerned that the bike's charging system is failing. I would have someone check out the charging system. It may be the problem was the wet, but I wouldn't trust it on a trip until I had it checked.
