The only thing I know about vintage bikes is that they are things of mechanical beauty. Interesting video and mix of enthusiasts. Cheers as I’m still recuperating after surgery on both hands and get my two wheel fix from your hard work, many thanks. 🏍👍🇦🇺
Some amazing old bikes there, and a few project bikes that make me itch to do something I know I’ll just stuff up together with irritating the wife with in more ways I wish to imagine. One of the most interesting items I found at such events are definitely the people... Nice looking pub. Pubs in the UK I found to be such a great place to escape to whenever I visit family there, and some even have fantastic food too. But the old timers that frequent these establishments, priceless with a pinch of honesty courtesy of great beer on tap.
Some really nice classic bikes there especially the Vincent, and who would believe in a country town in South Australia there is a gentleman I know in his eighties who worked as a machinist for HRD Vincent, met the man on occasion, think I fell over the first time he told me.
What a great little gathering! Reminded me of what Cassington Bike night was like in the early 90's Now huge! You may be aware of Ludgershall Bike night on 1st July. Its a lot bigger with all ages of Bikes and the W.I. have a cracking cake stall to!
You might want to visit the British owner meeting at Blackmore Village in Essex .. usually the 2nd week end in May .. oldest bike there was from 1904 and got there and back home under its own power .. Its a great chill out :-) .. and theres no music.
Really enjoyed this, love the small meets like this ! ... for a split second at 13.45 I thought yellow vest was going to hit that parked bike on the right 😳
Very interesting. My grandad rode a BSA Sloper in the 1930s and I’d love to try one. Got a couple of them in the National Motorcycle Museum which is on my my home from work. You should visit some time. Some amazing British manufacturing history there.
Hello TMF! Great bike meet!! In Portugal we have lots of bike meets cause of the weather... Every weekend in summer There are bike meets... But It's always nice to see some old ladies 😉 Keep on riding safe Andy! Greetings from Portugal 😀
.....some lovely bikes there ! I wondered if this is a regular weekly meeting....or just a once a year one ? There are a few meets in Lancashire - a very popular weekly one on Sundays , the traditional biking day - but others are a bit strange as they're ...'the second Tuesday each month, or the third Thursday...' etc ...which I can't get to due to shift work . I've always wondered just how they get insurance cover to ride a £50,000+ Vincent on our crap roads ?!
That looked great, the Vincent was superb and so many others of all makes. It's good to see bikers who can appreciate all types of bikes. And where better than a English country pub.
That custom K75 warms my heart, my first motorbike was a 1990 K75S that I bought for $3500 in 2005. Loved that bike, super smooth in line triple with fuel injection and shaft drive. 🤘🤘
Have you ever visited Sammy Millers motorcycle museum in the new forest TMF? Loads of bikes from ‘the day’ well worth a visit. Me and some mates biked over there couple of weeks ago.
Great little bonus video for a Saturday. Shame the weather kept many away. The car park is normally rammed with all sorts of bikes. Usually quite a few 2 strokes too, which I find interesting being an ex RD350LC owner.
I had a 350 YPVS too after the LC. It had been tuned to an inch of its life but the thing seized up at over 100 mph two up messing with a Sierra Cosworth. Not sure how we stayed on it but quick pull of the clutch did the trick.
Great video with Interesting and fantastic bikes, loved the Jap speedway bike on the sidecar, sounded good and smelt great I bet. The Vincent near the end stunning.
That black Vincent was absolutely gorgeous. If you are ever up in the Midlands on a Thursday, the bike night at the Norton factory is good, we had a sneaky walk around the outside of the factory where you could see part finished V4 superbikes through the windows. They keep the show room open as well if you fancy splashing some cash.
The Luggershall bike meet is on in a couple of days Andy. That's a lot bigger with all sorts of bikes. I have never been to a bike meet on a bike lol. The biggest around here is Cassington thats grown into a monster with bikes being parked in local fields. I enjoyed this vid nice to see
Have a look at sand and motorcycles that's near you, good annual show. Also yiudnof missed it now but cassington bike night is brilliant and also luggershall bike night near aylesbury is a great one. Whole villages taken over by bikes once a year
In -08 on a trip to Scotland we went into Spilsby for the night. Little we knew that the Poachers met at the local pub every second tuesday. Looked very much like this. We were lucky to meet them! :-)
Someone once said that the Vincent engine looked like it had to be put in with a whip and a chair. Like you said Flyer, the show of bikes in the car park can be just as much fun.
Good video mr Flyer, there’s a huge bike meet next wk end, 6 and 7th July at Great Yarmouth sea front , there will be thousands of bikes and shows and all sorts, going on , will be making the 170 mile journey and meeting up with my son , ,, are you going to that one .? Thumbs up Shane uk 🇬🇧
Great video..! I'm off to a similar event tomorrow in Skipton North Yorkshire known as "Big Bike Sunday" It's an annual event which raises money for the Air Ambulance and there's usually some great classics on show.👍
You've talked about picking up a classic to tinker with. This is the place to learn what you may like and talk to the owners about what to look for. Be careful though, as they will all favor the bike they ride over the rest!
Nice vid as always, I used to have a Norton Dominator back in the days of yor, it was deemed a shed back then would be worth thousands now, one I should have kept.
I think that was Daniel laying down next to the bike and listening to that loud exhaust. He owns and old, scruffy BMW that he's built from bits. Did you eat at the pub? Last Food Hygiene Rating (25/10/18) by the Food Standards Agency was a score was 1 out of 5, "major improvement necessary".
Some interesting stuff there mate. The Egli-Vincent was sweet and yer man with the chopped K75 clearly has a singular vision! That style was very popular in Japan in the early noughties, mainly on 250 trail bikes and SR500 Yamahas. My favourite? The JAP speedway iron on the sidecar. Now, that's a style of bike you should try: high compression, 500cc running on methanol, fixed gear and no brakes.
Worth checking out bike meet every Sunday at whiteways cafe Near Arundel BN18 9FD Bury hill. Loads of bikes coming and going all the time, even the police turn up! Some real characters too! Mind you dear food lol
Darryl Kennedy Yeah, fond memories of riding pillion on my brother’s Trident. The whole wiring loom had to be replaced at one point, but when it was running well, leant over hard with the engine opening up, fantastic bike.
If you can you ought to get to Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds this coming Thursday evening (6pm to 10pm) for their Bike Night (also 4th July). The live band will be The BayHorse Boys and Indian Motorcycles will be there plus American V magazine... It will most likely be the most attended event of the year for Krazy Horse with many hundreds of motorcycles of all types on show...
3:35 Triumph T140V used to have one of those too. Same colour scheme. Bronze & Gold they called it.The 750 Bonnie not half as bad as a lot of people say
It was a bit of a surprise that you were unfamiliar with "K"series bmw's. Before GS's became the phenomenon they are "k's" were touring bike of choice.
I agree. The motors were straight out of Peugeot, super reliable and definitely the touring bike of choice in their day. The 750 triple in particular, added smoothness to the mix
The K series engine came out in 1983 to replace the ageing Boxer twin. There was a choice of 750 triple or 1000 four, both water cooled. Somehow we still have that old boxer with us although at last they have thrown a splash of water at it.
@@justdad53 ,, I bought a 2nd hand R65LS to commute the 200klms round trip for my studies. Mixed open road and city riding. I did that for four years. Never an ounce of trouble except a couple of punctures. A fabulous reliable bike. I had the silver with blue pin stripping model. It also came with Marzocchi piggy back shocks.
Not making excuses, I know we are a bit on the hefty side but that wide angle go pro definitely adds weight. Even TMF looks chubby in the close up interviews and he’s certainly not, what with his new exercise and diet regime!
Great video, TMF! I enjoy old and custom bikes very much. Thanks for showing us this display.! 👍 🏍
The only thing I know about vintage bikes is that they are things of mechanical beauty. Interesting video and mix of enthusiasts. Cheers as I’m still recuperating after surgery on both hands and get my two wheel fix from your hard work, many thanks. 🏍👍🇦🇺
All the best Russ - hope things are on the up with your recovery!
Lovely to know that there's people like this keeping these old bikes running.
Great video TMF! Thanks for taking us along. Nothing beats the sights sounds and smells of a classic bike meet!
Peace!

Thanks TMF for taking us along , one cannot get enough bike shows especially in the grounds of a pub . Well done !!
Royal Enfield 650 interceptor would look right at home there wouldn’t it TMF 🤫
Smashing video. Brought back memories of my young days Ariel, AJS, Vincent, Velocette, BSA, Triumph. Those were the days🙂
Beautiful machines and well looked out for. I enjoyed this vid very much, thanks TMF
Thanks for watching!
Some amazing looking and sounding bikes. Cheers.
Really enjoyed that - especially the chap with the bike-carrying sidecar - what a novel idea! And the egli-framed vincent. Wow!
What a treat! So many beautiful bikes! Thanks, Mr Flyer!
Great video TMF love looking at all the classics :)
Some real beauties there ! Thanks for taking us along.
You might want to visit the British owner meeting at Blackmore Village in Essex .. usually the 2nd week end in May .. oldest bike there was from 1904 and got there and back home under its own power .. Its a great chill out :-) .. and theres no music.
Wow! For a bike meet that's a right crappy wee road leading to the pub. Great vid again mate, good to see the Triumph again.
Really enjoyed this, love the small meets like this ! ... for a split second at 13.45 I thought yellow vest was going to hit that parked bike on the right 😳
Love to see the ol Street Triple back on the streets. Sounding fantastic too I might add 👍
Yeah, love my little Trumpet....
Nicely done TMF. The sound of a Street Triple, it's like a cold beer on a hot day, ahhhh.....and relax.
Greatful to you for sharing the sights and sounds of the Bike Night to the internet world. 🙏
Great looking Pub and some interesting bikes! Enjoyed watching from Australia.
Very interesting. My grandad rode a BSA Sloper in the 1930s and I’d love to try one. Got a couple of them in the National Motorcycle Museum which is on my my home from work. You should visit some time. Some amazing British manufacturing history there.
Great mix of bikes and people, along with the custom BMW K bike - aka the flying brick.
Hello TMF! Great bike meet!! In Portugal we have lots of bike meets cause of the weather... Every weekend in summer There are bike meets... But It's always nice to see some old ladies 😉
Keep on riding safe Andy! Greetings from Portugal 😀
Ah the memories, nostalgia isn't what it used to be!
The video of the Cassingtonbike night which came on as a prequel before yours was also very good.

My pleasure!
The Vincent was amazing! That is why This American is addicted to British motorcycles. Perfection
“It hasn’t been summer-like this year.” I feel the same way from Texas.
Give it chance, summer's only a week old.
Yeah, you’re right.
Very very interesting video, thanks for that TMF
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a fun meet. It's great to stumble on meets like this and just go. Usually quite friendly.
Nice venue for a bike night. Great selection of classics including a CX650 Turbo. 🍻
Lovin the varied content sir. Great to have something different to watch.
So many beauties!!! I grew up around BSA bikes so they will always be my favourite over other makes. 😻😻😻
Have you ever visited Sammy Millers motorcycle museum in the new forest TMF? Loads of bikes from ‘the day’ well worth a visit. Me and some mates biked over there couple of weeks ago.
No I haven’t - must add it to my list!

Thanks for giving me the heads up Steve!
Had a RD250LC in 81, always wanted the 350. Still want the 350..... silly prices now though for a good one.
I had a 350 YPVS too after the LC. It had been tuned to an inch of its life but the thing seized up at over 100 mph two up messing with a Sierra Cosworth. Not sure how we stayed on it but quick pull of the clutch did the trick.
@@mrbojangles4394 ooo nasty, always a safe bet covering the clutch 👍👍
Great video with Interesting and fantastic bikes, loved the Jap speedway bike on the sidecar, sounded good and smelt great I bet. The Vincent near the end stunning.
Great video TMF! Paignton bike night every Wednesday through the summer great to go to if you are on holiday like I was this week! 👍
Some proper old stuff there. 👍
Love it! 😊

Was hoping to go to Ludgershall myself on Monday night as it’s a great meet up, but can’t make it. Been to Cassington once. That’s huge!
I saw that Egli at Cassington last year. He turned up and parked next to where I was loitering. What a beautiful thing.
A lovely way to spend an evening! 👍
Absolutely wonderful video Mr Flyer! I love these kinda meetups as well! Isn't it great how many aspects the "the hobby of motorcycling" has?
Looks like a crackin' event; thank you for sharing. Added to the diary :)
Thought you might like this one Dave!

8:51 I didn't expect to see an MZ there, how common are these in the UK?

Nice meet, Thanks for that.
Good one ,would like to see detailed videos of classic bikes from TMF
I think that was Daniel laying down next to the bike and listening to that loud exhaust. He owns and old, scruffy BMW that he's built from bits.
Did you eat at the pub? Last Food Hygiene Rating (25/10/18) by the Food Standards Agency was a score was 1 out of 5, "major improvement necessary".
.....luckily no I didn't! And now you've told me that, I won't be again!!
That BMW is so neat :-) agree about the instruments
Yes :)

Yes the bike on a sidecar was a new one on me I must say!
Cor I like the look of that BSA Thunderbolt!!!!
Some crackin looking bikes. Enjoyed the vid :)
Lovely. These guys love a wet muddy road.
Worth checking out bike meet every Sunday at whiteways cafe Near Arundel BN18 9FD Bury hill.
Loads of bikes coming and going all the time, even the police turn up! Some real characters too! Mind you dear food lol
First time I,ve heard your name.. Great video..
Wish I still had my old Triumph Trident. Once the electrics and oil leaks were sorted it was a sweet ride and nothing else sounded like it.
Darryl Kennedy Yeah, fond memories of riding pillion on my brother’s Trident. The whole wiring loom had to be replaced at one point, but when it was running well, leant over hard with the engine opening up, fantastic bike.
I wonder how many of them broke down either on the way there or going home?
You should definitely do more of these, hunt them down and give us insight on British bike shows!
Saw a Triumph that reminded me very much of my ‘82 Tiger Trail.
Was that a Honda 650 turbo I saw there as the camera panned passed ?
I saw one like my old Honda Turbo there.
Great show great video ,but bloody awful pot holes on that road
Chocolate brown / yellow bonneville 😬😱 I had one but threw most of it away to make a flat tracker

@@splodge57 yeah a lot of people hated it. I didn't mind it, but I can see were you're cumming from
Good stuff TMF.
What, no Norton Manx or Vellocette?
Just recently subscribed after watching many of your reviews liked the leather jacket,
Any chance of a heads up on what it is cheers 🍺👍🏻
It’s from Goldtop - review coming in due course (and thanks for the sub)...
Thanks very much look forward to it cheers 🍻
Nice street R. Hear you bought a RE?
You really need to try more bike meets..
Give the Ace cafe a go...

The Vincent was stunning !
Worth a few Bob I’ll wager....
Somebody said it’s not very old and a remake under licence? French? And £55k was mentioned!
Beautiful old Beezer. Can't believe you didn't focus a bit more on that Indian😜
man that looks great the guy at 13:45 made me panic slightly
Me too!
Well done sir changing content always even bikes leaving event like car vloggers doing' leaving event' cheers from dave...👍
Lovely☺️
You should have pitched up on the yamaha niken - a classic of the future! 😏
Yes lol
Ooo, Biker meets, always full of bikers and bikes o_0
Wow there seems to be no shortage of food in England judging by those roly poly Physiques
You've not been to America then? LOL
@@mongrelmotorsports Not TMF though. He's looking very svelt these days.

Thats not food thats beer!...and over a fair few years.

6:57 Why?
The plough use to be one of my locals, the music hasn’t changed at all since then 66 67
Those are some fine old bikes! It looks like the thoroughfare to Plough was too rough for a Brough to make it through though. (sorry).
