Truly, very kind words Mr. Dobbs. It's been such a journey these past 6 months, the bike is almost secondary now. The number of kind hearted folk and new friends we have met from this is far more important. DGR here we come!
We will all continue to watch your channel every Sunday. Looking forward to your bike being worked on.
@@HarryNoze I second that. I'm not going to stop watching Joe and Emily when he's finished with Freddie's bike. Great channel and content.
The Bonneville fixing has been a fantastic collaboration and has allowed many of us to subscribe to another great channel. Well done all of you.
They all looked such a friendly, chatty, welcoming bunch too…
Are you being sarcastic?..:P.. I thought they looked like a bunch of "up themselves, self important" twits.. but I could be wrong.
Beyond excited for the Bonneville reveal. Been following the rebuild and it looks to be exceptional workmanship.
I can’t wait Luis, Joe’s even done some slight enhancements that I don’t even know about😳
Hi Freddie yes I to have been watching Joe rebuild your Bonnie it will look amazing ...keep it clean dude you have are getting back a truly amazing looking bike ...I will be keeping an eye on you keeping it clean 😊
@@FreddieDobbscolor LED blinky wheels no doubt
Im a fairly newby rider and the team down at project 83 are so friendly and welcoming it doesn't matter if you turn up on a vespa or a chopper its a good vibe.
I might rock up on my rat sidecar outfit sometime.
This is the best of biking- I’m so happy to hear it!
I mean this extremely in a kind heart Freddie, if Joe is successful in getting the bike in perfect order again please collaborate with him on motorcycle maintenance videos moving forward as looking at his videos some of the damage was preventable by knowledgable maintenance
Fat Bob looks the bad ass from all the bikes.
I ssoo miss Home... watching is a reminder of a different way of Live.. there's a pace.. Directly.. Whenever..! Hey Ho..
Loved the whole cornish series beautiful place ❤ amazing views & bike culture
Delighted you’ve enjoyed it!
Except in the Over Tourism season.
Bike night in my life has always been an event. Go the 81.
Another great chilled Sunday video. Project 83 looks awesome, really looking forward to the bike reveal, Joe & Emily have been doing srerliing work 👏👏👏👏
Looks like a biker's heaven with all those bikes.
Just a heads up, be VERY careful when riding a motorcycle in Cornwall. A significant number of local drivers need a guide dog as do a significant number of tourist drivers. (The death/injury rate of motorcyclists has got frankly scary. Be safe out there.)
There didn't seem to be a lot of traffic when I watched the videos?? I am surprised that is happening. I hope Freddy has a camera on the back of his bike as well.
@@Dan-xx5jq The death/accident rate of motorcyclists in Cornwall is ridiculously high for the last two years. I am in dispute with Devon and Cornwall police because they are giving the impression it is all the motorcyclists fault. I now in the height of the tourist season unless I am going to and from a motorcycle rally out of Cornwall to a motorcycle rally keep my motorcycling to a minimum. Don't think a lack of traffic makes it safe. It doesn't due to the appalling standard of driving and mad/bad drivers.
Devon is just as bad and the rider always seems to get the blame.
@@TheBuckspygmy I live in West Cornwall and driving standards have definitely deteriorated. Especially in the tourist season. I think it must be post pandemic syndrome. 😉
I ride a bike in Cornwall all year round I don't see motorcycle accidents very often so that's not exactly right
I will be there for the reveal. Traveling up on my Triumph Speedmaster from Salisbury the night before. Can’t wait to see you reunited with the Bonnie 😊
Thank you so much, I can’t wait to see you there!
Note the „Do not feed the Seagulls“ sign, very important if you‘ve never been to Cornwall. Thanks for taking us along Freddie, think I‘ll also go for a ride. Lovely weather here in Düsseldorf 😉
Wise words- the seagulls will snatch anything they can, they definitely don’t need feeding😆 I hope you had a good ride and sending my best over in Düsseldorf🤘🏼🤘🏼
Project 83 looks well cool. Will have to pay a visit some day .
I am watching this from my small tent in the middle of Namib Desert (riding my KTM 1190 Adv R on an Africa expedition ) and excited to see the restored Bonnie - been following The Wurx with Joe.
Excellent trip out. Looks a great bike venue 👍
relaxing place to chill with people & chat & few beers.. nice bikes, love the look of the last bike that showed up.
Gorgeous looking place
Great place to hang out, glad you enjoyed it Freddie 👍
Love Ride and Defy, the work of Project Eighty Three is brilliant 👏
Very excited for the Bonneville reveal
that headlight looks pretty decent on that! decent amount of light that it chucks out
Thank god your posting your stories Freddie as they have given me hours of pleasure , I love your just do it attitude and except whatever happens can happen, please keep it up.I myself have recently had a health scare and decided to do a road trip from Scotland to Spain which was always in my head for the last 30years , so come what may it’s going to happen, so if you have any tips or advice please fill me in , all the best for the future and keep up the good work
Wow Freddie, what a skill there is to take the ordinary to to the extraordinary, just great
I had a VFR800 in the same colour scheme as that. Loved that bike and a real head turner, always had nice comments from other bikers and the public. When you got it over 6,800rpm it sounded glorious but you could watch the bars on the fuel gauge disappear rapidly. I called it the stormtrooper for obvious reasons 😅
Thanks for this video, didn't know about Project 83 & will definitely be heading over there on me bike now I do.
Project 83 is a great place for a quick coffee and some great gear
Joe has done a good job and I speak as a 35 year motorcycle engineer ( he has been " a bit careful " ) No seriously good job !
Nice one Freddie. Planning on riding to Hinckley so I'll see you there!
Looks like a perfect place for a bike night 👍
Best part of the week is when yourself and Joe upload, cant wait for the reveal wish I could get there. Bet your cant wait, all the best and hope your still enjoying Cornwall! As a foot note, passed my mod 1! Just the mod 2 to go in a few weeks!
Freddie, you should seriously consider taking one of those Project 83 mechanics courses that you mentioned prior to taking delivery of the Bonnie from Joe.
Recently found your channel - stumbled across it through Joe’s channel whilst looking for some ‘hope’ with my own bonneville that had effectively ‘died’ many times in the last two years. Sadly it is no more, it hurt deeply to let it go - but a 2000 Bonnie has arrived in my possession last week and I’m ridiculously excited about it. I’m also just outside of Tamworth and have been signed up to the DGR for a while now, hopefully I can say ‘hi’ to both you and Joe and let you know in person how much I’ve enjoyed your channels in the last few weeks.
Looks like a good place to visit , I will definitely try to get over there when I’m down in August
Hey Freddie....went to Pandora pub on your recommendation and food was excellent....also the twisty roads from st ives where we were staying to lands end.....just back in Lincs after 3 wet days......unfortunately the weather was not with us ...the sun must shine on the righteous I say!!! great video of Project 83........we should all aspire to create something like that place...... thanks
Nice one Freddie.....😊
Love the club house. Has a homely look to it.
Like the outfit you had on by your bike garage (brown stuff) very nice 👌
Hope you enjoyed your time over at newquay
I’m looking forward to seeing the Bonne too. I’ll be riding my T100 at the Halifax DGR.
Great video Freddie
Freddie. I have to say. That bike really fits you!
Loving the videos Freddie! Having been born and raised in Bodmin, great to see my native land from a bike, rather than a rental car! (I live in upstate New York now) PS Loved the India/Sri Lanka series - superb!
Nice one Freddie ..looking forward to the Bonnie reveal and seeing you and Joe....might turn into a fan boy for a selfie lol.
Perfect start to my grey wet Gloucestershire Sunday morning....thanks Team FD,! Btw you and M should get yourselves over to the Cotswolds soon for a short road trip...maybe pop in to Watsonian up near Moreton - in - Marsh....enjoy the return of your Bonny soon!
Thanks Guy, I’ll save this to my list as I haven’t been to the Cotswolds for a while
And thank you also- I cannot wait for the Bonneville’s return!😃
I am really hyped to see the resurrected Bonneville!
like he bike night hope too see more
Awesome!!!
Great to see you there the other night Freddie. And my Cub made it in! Enjoy the last few days down here, mate, and can’t wait for the Bonny’s return in the next couple weeks!
A pleasure to meet you, Connor! Thanks very much- just three weeks left!🏍️🕺
You have inspired me to do a long haul ride to Cornwall...enjoying the videos...
You’ll love it, Kevin!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Awesome video. Dad's from Redruth 😊
Ohh Freddie, so looking forward to see your reaction to seeing your phoenix Bonneville so lovingly brought back from the dead by Joe & Emily! I wish I could be there for that momentous occasion ⭐️ Joe & Ems have done an incredible job bringing the Bonneville to an as new condition. I was meaning to sponsor you on the DGR, but I thought Ems was probably feeling a bit left behind 👌
I cannot wait Steve!!😃
Very nice,
I was watching Louis Theroux yesterday in the 90's thinking that I liked his jacket which is very similar to yours here. I must have one. Awesome. I will see you there at this show Freddie. Ride safe. :)
I preferred the videos that you posted about the Bonneville.
I'm hoping to make it over to the reveal because I'm excited to see what Joe (& Emily) have accomplished. Sadly your bike was in such a poor state that only someone like Joe would be able to give it the attention it needed.
Looks good, I am down in Mevagissey so will give that a go, the one I go to is at the Bearded Brewery nr Newquay Airport, every Tuesday evening with live music from 6.30 to 9.30
Ah brilliant, I’ll save this for next time. Thanks for this🙌🏻
I will be coming to Tamworth 👍. Can't wait to say hello to everyone 😆
It’ll be great to see you there!
Would love to come up to Tamworth DGR, but am without bike ATM 😢 (i know right!). Might have to scrounge or borrow. Been great watching Joe's progress with the Bonnie.
It's nice to see venues for bikers to go to, I wonder what the 83 denotes?. Really looking forward to see the unveiling of the Bonneville. I've been watching Joe's progress with it, Bet you can't wait!.
I should’ve asked re the name- I have no idea. I can’t wait for the Bonneville. I’m genuinely not sure how it’ll look!
83 is the year that Gillan (owner) was born, the Project part refers to the multitude of projects that are always on the go, whether it be building bikes or creating the new biker hang out.
Another great video, thanks, BUT... what have you done with Monika?
We are hopefully going to be at Tamworth Triumph for the unveiling. We were subscribers of Joe before he undertook the work on your bike. It does look impressive what he's done and he also showed less impressive work done to that Bonneville engine by previous so-called mechanics. Hope Joe's shakedown run goes well and that your refreshed bike proves reliable.
We want to see Basil!
Lovely evening/afternoon out, I noticed the modern sports bike parked on its own looking sad.
Love the DGR! Would love to ride it in the UK, but I'm hosting in Lake Tahoe for the first time this year! Saw you on Team Triumph!
Oh WOW, good luck with the hosting. Tahoe DGR- this’ll be stunning! I am- Team Triumph😃
The P83 nights look like a blast, I'm definitely heading down soon. I wanted to go to the one you were at to say hi but sadly that evening it was raining over in East Cornwall where I'm at. Next time!
I’ll definitely be back- hopefully in the summer🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@FreddieDobbs I look forward to it mate
Neck warmer for me :)) another great video
Sucks i dont have a classic motorcycle for that meet up in may.
Hi Freddie, just going off the subject, what camera set up are you using. Can you do a video on the pros and cons of video motor blogging. Thanks great video as usual!
Definitely need to go to inkies Smokehouse in Liskeard, bearded brewery in St Austell or jollysbikeshop in Bovey tracey
I’ve heard of none of these, which is great- new filming spots! Thanks🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can’t wait to see the Bonny reveal Freddie, I may just come down on my Bonny to the unveiling 👍 Will you be then riding it to Hinckley??
That’d be amazing to see you there, Nick! Yep I’ll be riding my Bonneville on the DGR😃
14 min video !!! Really fredd” can we have longer videos please….thanks
Hey Freddie I came across this while watching a motorcycle vlog the other day, a couple were stopped in Wales by the Police whilst on their bikes, in their interrogation they revealed they were vloggers, after all the checks trying to find something illegal which he did, no kite mark on the number plate he also asked about their insurance as insurance for social, domestic, and pleasure riding isn't the correct cover if you're a vlogger earning from your uploaded vlogs on KZhead, you will need insurance that includes commuting. How accurate this is I don't know but vloggers just be aware. Ride safe.
I watched this video and yes that Cop was on a mission to find something to give them a ticket for! He pulled them for riding too slow!!!! Regarding insurance for using a camera to record your travels, what about the amount of dashcam footage from cars thats uploaded every day and the police appeals for footage about incidents? As for telling the cops anything about what you are doing if you are pulled.... don`t! Just answer the questions they ask politely and dont offer any information they don`t need. Camera on board? Yep you record your travels in case of any incidents, they have no right to ask what you do with the recordings :-) As far as i can tell this falls into the Privacy and Data protection act and is not a Road Traffic Offence.
Cool as fk the '83 joint. Would be great to swing by but only have a 250 bone shaker these days.
Freddie you didn't show us Basil ?
The shirt!! 60's hippie vibe . Awesome
Thanks Irfan, I love it👌🏻👌🏻
It looks like a beetle engine in that blue one
11:01 Soooooo beautiful!!! 😍
Cool video but did you all go for a ride or was it just a meet up?
Do you prefer the Fat Bob to the Rocket 3 R, Freddie? Interesting area. I bet it's great living in Cornwall. Nick
“Joe has no idea whether the Bonneville will start”…..Freddie, you’re talking rubbish; of course it will start and Joe knows that!
Could you play Red Revision "Devil on My Trail" when you ride the new Dobbs Triumph.
Yep!😃
@FreddieDobbs Thanks Freddie 😊
Hey man, when are you going to iceland?
I would love to! I’m almost certain, by next year
Only Freddie and Tyson Fury could pull off that jacket!
Tbh your Bonnie could have been fixed in an hour, but to be fair he wanted to do a proper job. I would have just for an insert for the plug or used loktite red and sorted the cams out. Though why you didn’t take it back to the garage that ruined it is beyond me.
I would have asked one those hairy bikers what that custom machine was. It looked like a cross between an old Goldwing and an industrial lawn mower, lol........
Hey Freddie I live in Newquay. If you fancy a ride out while you are here give me a shout 🤙
Not much talk about the Fat Bob, you normally enthuse a lot on the bikes you ride.. how are you finding it Freddie? and would love to know Monika’s opinion 😊
I genuinely love it, Liz🖤 It’s literally about to get picked up any minute and I filmed the review video yesterday (it’ll be out on Thursday). It’s genuinely excellent. Pillion comfort is ok for 20 mins, but a backrest and comfier seat needed for genuine comfort (although the pillion leg angle is excellent👌🏻👌🏻)
Is this place heaven? Because I imagine this is what heaven looks like.
That last rider in that custom group to leave the shed had a black plate with white letters, is that a special option? Different county? Looked really good. I’m so used to seeing that big yellow square plate on you Brits bikes. Didn’t think there was any other way to plate a bike.
They are only legal in the uk on vehicles constructed before January 1980. Some put them on vehicles after this date as they look better on classic style bikes but you risk a fine.
@@Howard1776 Gotcha. A lot of states here in the US have their own versions of pre-date plates too. Good to know, thanks!
What is the brand of the wraps you have for your bag? please! I'm looking for something like this forever. Adding the Sizzy bar to my harley is super expensive so this is an alternative! :) ! h
Hi Carlos. Rok Straps… game changers🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs Thank you Freddie! I love your channel, keep the adventures coming. I hope we bump into each other on your trips to Greenwich! :) !
where u got that jacked from?😍 brand?
I think the funky one is a Bzen and the black one a Belstaff Mojave/Brooklands
Spot on from Howard, and the one specifically at the start of this video is from Boyd’s of Bedford👌🏻
plz visit Nepal
How do you feel going to things like this when you don’t know anyone? My social anxiety would do me
Yea...buy EVERONE loves the Fredster x
I would love to go to DGR but won’t know anyone, guessing there are a lot of people in same boat😢
It’s a very good question. I knew there would be a couple of guys that I’d met before, but I do often get a slight apprehension-type feeling going anywhere new (and solo)
Damn and I thought I'm the only one. And Freddie goes in filming too! Too many looks for my social anxiety haha. Went to Harley open days few weeks ago and was surrounded by bikes and bikers and I just felt odd. Everyone knew someone, and I was all by myself, so I left. Being antisocial sucks sometimes 😢
It is a good question! Curiosity helps. Focus on finding out about the bikes and the other bikers' stories - it takes some of the pressure off you.
If you want to see some proper Harley's pay a visit to B&H in Whitemore.
the fat bob is good isn't it ;;
First ❤️
Ohh well done. want a sweetie?
Thank you🙌🏻🙌🏻 Have a great day
how was that fun? would walk in and out in 2 minutes
