Excellent tour. Very nice to see the mix of machines with you. 125cc and upwards.

I was like a racing whippet leaving the gates in that car park 🤣 don't leave me behind! 🤣🤣

The suspension love it...engine just sufficient...gearshift...absolutely terrible...gives your left toe a nightmare...ans never fond the neutral....😂

I'll get fired for watchin videos at work. I'll have to wait for later.

yours came out so easy.....i've been on 3 hours and i'm sick, I couldnt remove the threaded cylinder because the spring is too high and still inside. very frustrating. oh and the large o ring on the throttle body intake was very large with age, and wouldnt go back, despite silicone grease, probably worth getting one before doing the job. Good video

1 day I'll join yous on this...But yous are pretty much in France...Yous are so far South!!! 🤪✌️

its true though, i own a meteor 350 stellar black and i absolutely love that bike, incredible value for money. cheers and thanks for the video

I think the best looking and sounding bike was that red one with the handsome dashing rider. Can't think of his name just now...😉

I gotta hand to you Brits. You’re some tough bastards. Seems like it rains all the time!

I enjoyed that thanks, black widow system it is then for my bike thanks.

I think you summed it all up there mate, was genuinely a brilliant day and I didn't want it to end. Hopefully we will get a chance to do something again at some point and meet up. But thank you to all who put the time and effort in so that we can have a great day 🙏🙏🙏🥳🥳😇😇❤️🎉🎁🎂🎈🎶🍦🍨🌞🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

I had my share of riding motorcycle when I was younger now that I am 60 years old and I'm looking for comfort and peace of mind.

Great review. I’m getting one this weekend. 😀 I will fit the electronic cruise control from Veridian Cruise and when the OEM tires wear out, I’ll convert the rims to tubeless. Not sure which method to use for that yet. But I’m very excited to get the bike.

It’s not covered in all that crap plastic it’s a nice bike and good value

Hi ER, I would like to come on this ride with you guys, could you please advertise the ride a month or so before hand? I love riding over Dartmoor, and the surrounding areas. Thanks. 😎🏍👍😁

nice review from across the pond I like gs lighter feel without the extra 2.5 gallon tank the gsa has

Great one Steve consider a good mate now thanks

Hi Steve, lovely video, really nice outro, quite moving ! Thank you so much for mentioning those of us who live too far away to make it. We would all have loved to have been there. I'm sure that if I lived ANYWHERE in the UK, I would have made the effort to get to SB73s recent social rides. Unfortunately, as a dog owner, it would just take too much time for me to ride to the UK and back. I probably couldn't skive off work for that long either ! It was a real shame about the weather but hopefully most ( if not all ) were equipped to deal with it. Thanks for taking us along on the SB73 Social Ride. These videos are particularly appreciated by those of us who couldn't make it there in person. Cheers Steve. Love to the Exmouth posse ! Your NC was sounding nice and throaty 👍🏻 Garry & Ruby

17:48 Who was that awesome photo-bomber 😂😂 Great video for a great day. Something will have to happen next year, some form of social ride. I hope Saddlebags does a meet up again even if it is just that.

As a yoof I remember every Saturday and Sunday going for group rides and camaraderie. Screaming our 2 strokes around the countryside attending bikers cafes. Wish I could be there but was lovely to be vicariously present. Poor isn’t it that this time of the year can’t even have a nice day but didn’t dampen spirits

Great video great day.👍

It's been great seeing the SB social ride from various people's perspectives and whilst the camera angles change the atmosphere and spirit of the day remains steadfast. This was a great summery of the day, so congratulations to you ER for the support you gave SB, the guidance you gave to the group and a great edit. I'd love to have been part of it myself but it's a journey of several hundred miles just to get there. I've since had the pleasure of meeting and riding with Noob during his Scotland trek and hope to meet Derek and one or two others when they also journey North.

Thanks for the mention. I really admire the spirit of all the riders not letting a little wet weather spoil the opportunity to ride together. Great group of riders to hang out with. I'm sure Blake and his beautiful W800 would fit in well.

Poetry in motion, my friend. Thanks for a great video

Fantastic video. Lucky you took your rain suit. Thank you saddlebags on creating the ride out.

It was more than "just a bit of drizzle" 😂😂😂

I think you summed it up perfectly. It’s like you read my mind from last year and removed my childish gibberish. A superb example of how great everything and everyone was. And I’m gutted I missed out. Trust Mark to remember the candle. I’m sure you’re suitably grateful 😂

Twas a great day indeed. Thanks for filming and leading a group ER. Great to meet up with such a good bunch. Proper job!

Wonderful video Steve capturing a magical day🙏

Great video, watched all of the ones put out about the SB Social Ride. Looked a brilliant day

Jesus H Christ, that's one ugly bike, certainly one to stare at, but for the wrong reasons😅

Good vid bud, A nice snapshot of the day. You were a bit emotional at the end, you sounded really sad.... the tone that you'd use if you dropped 5p down a road gulley! 😛

Great video, I would have loved to be part of the ride out. Doesn't look like the weather spoilt the day. Ernie probably needed a good clean after that run!

Great video and footage, I must of missed when you put the meet up out, I might of joined you all, there's always next time 😊. Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

Aww mate….i feel like giving you a hug 🤗 As everyone knows, you have been a huge help with the social rides in many ways. Your moral support and encouragement, to the leading of groups for me. The truth is I really don’t think I could have done it without you and I hope you know how much I appreciate it. Thank you ER…bit tearful myself now…….might have to do it all again 🤣

Excellent video! You had some lovely scenery on that ride. And great people to share it with.😊

What a brilliant view of the day. Never a truer word spoken - so many different people, different backgrounds, stories and circumstances and all in one place, enjoying the motorcycling life with thanks to people like you, Jeff, Angelo and the rest of the gang that help make it possible and go without a hitch - well almost!

Lovely vid, ER, despite some crappy spells of rain. Unfortunately I was unable to attend. I believe Dartmoor in the not too distant past was clad in many more trees than we see nowadays. In many journals and maps it is still listed as Dartmoor Forest. The conifer plantations which disfigure the moor are not indigenous to the area. They were planted mainly due to possible requirements of WW2.

I recognise most people there now. Dartmoor is a moody lady but she let you see her so she must have liked you, some people only get thick fog. Hopefully I'll get to a meet up one day before I have to do it on a mobility scooter 😂 Lovely video with emotion.😊

All good fun and jolly good company😊 I'll be aboard a bike finally. A classic 350 dark in black. I'd been watching a local dealer for ages and one came up at a great price, £3399 with only 361 miles on it. I snapped it up

when you get old, you can look back at this video and remember good friends and good times. really felt your emotions in this one! nice

Wonderful to see a group ride through gorgeous countryside. I haven’t done a group ride since the early 2000’s. We’d get out of LA and head to Julian for pie or rural Santa Barbara for lunch. Great memories.

i hope one day to make a trip to England to see everyone in real life. i am thinking earliest is next year 2025. but if i move to Tennessee, i will have spent the money i saved to take a trip. who knows how life ends up. always a want in life

looks like a great ride ... love a bit of Dartmoor 😎😎

Brilliant video, and looks like a great ride, Couldn't be there myself but made sure I watched what went on. A very good turn out of bikes. And I really like how you wrapped up and summarised the event for the ones who like me coundn't attend. Cheers

You did a great job of leading us. Shame about the weather, but we all made the best of it. Definitely some great people turned up for this ride.

Brilliant. Even made the thumbnail of the video. 😀😂 It was definitely a great ride out, despite the weather. Brilliant bunch of people.
