    There I was enjoying the video and admiring the scenery, and BOOM! Thank you so much for the mention and kind words. That was a very pleasant surprise. Next time I’m out on the Classic I’ll try and remember to return the favour. I’ll also head over to ‘Bikes I like’.
    Spectacular ride, my friend. Thanks again and all the best 👍🏼
    PS. Yes Cornwall is in the UK, right down the bottom kind of stuck on to England 🤪

      Thanks for watching and commenting. It was pretty cold but sometimes you have to get out. I'll have to get that Hitchcock exhaust it sounds amazing.

      I’m really pleased with the exhaust. Nice sound without being too anti-social 🙂

    Really really enjoyed your production Sir, thank you for showing us that ride! Was sent to you by none other than the King of Cornwall, otherwise known as Saddlebags, who has a riveting style and riveted teeth through riding Old English concrete mixers too much!!! lol

    Hey, Saddlebags sent me here and a good thing too. I like what I'm seeing and I've subscribed. The views are somewhat different from what I normally get out on my Kawasaki Z1000SZ riding in and around London.
    The views with the snowy landscape are awesome 👍

      Thanks for subscribing. I get a lot of head shaking from car drivers when I'm out, yet when I stop they get out to take pictures of the bike.

    Great to get on the bike again. I have been taking my Roadmaster out and about and taking it to work. Too cold for me on the Rocket 3 as there are no fairings to hide behind.

    Lol. Thanks so much for the Shout Out Flat Cap!!! My wife and I were just watching your video and were completely surprised and blown away by you mentioning the channel. Gorgeous scenery you have there and your footage is nice! Might have to add that Enfield 500 to the list of bikes I need to test ride 😉👍

      While I can see the things that make your videos so good unfortunately I'm unable to get to that level. However, I feel it is only right to spread the word about how good your channel is whenever possible. 👍👍

    Looked beautiful out there, cold but beautiful. I'm subbed to both the channels and really enjoy Saddlebags 73. Some of his late evening rides around Dartmoor and rural Cornwall are beautifully filmed.
    Supply issues with motorcycles appears to be a worldwide thing. Plenty of stories here about broken promises on new bike deliveries.

      Your recommendation got me over to Saddlebags 73👍 The temperature in the mountains was -3 Celsius while parked....after a couple weeks of not riding I just had to get out.

    So nice that even though it is deep in snow you still have dry roads to ride on. Generally when it snows over here the roads are wet constantly and that invariably means ice, so no riding basically. I’ll have a look at those two channels, they’re not ones that I have seen up to now. Cornwall is in the far south west of England and as far as I am aware is one of the only parts of the country that doesn’t have a motorway or major trunk roads through it, so all of the roads are B roads - good for bikers!

    • @flatcapcaferacer
      @flatcapcaferacer  3 года назад

      Maybe the drainage is different, those hedge rows may retain more moisture on your roads.
      We get ice in the shadows.

      @@flatcapcaferacer Oh yes, bends that are in the shade are the killers to watch for! I think the issue is lack of sun - once the roads get wet in the winter they hardly ever dry... and then it rains!🤣

    Due to difficulties in acquiring new bikes here in the UK, used bike prices are rocketing. I suppose if you can’t get a delivery date for a new bike, you’ll look for nearly new and demand being high you’ll pay top dollar for it. That in turn drives up the price down through the chain.

    I sure hope your fears aren’t as bad as you think for the supply chain. At least for Triumph, anyway. I’m counting the weeks till my Tiger appears.
