Clock? If you're enjoying the ride who cares what time it is! But, if it's really that important you could always get one one of those newfangled wrist clocks! LOL
Yep. They all have clocks BUT I know TMF swapped his clocks out because he didn't like the ones that come with it (can't understand why) and I think that's where his problem lies
Great video Andy good to watch something that is bike related but not just a straightforward review very entertaining loved the sense of humour the three of you share. Look forward to your next video ride safe.😊🏍🏍🏍
Great weather for the time of year. I made a 1300 mile trip the week before last from The Isle of Wight to Scotland, following the Three Kingdoms Way from Adventure Rider, ( King Alfred, Winchester, Aethelflaeda, Tamworth and Bamburgh Castle) and back by The Lake District and Offa's Dyke, and including the scene of Alfred's decisive battle at Erdington ......and only got stuck behind one motorhome ...no white vans!
Mr Flyer. Being an ex Matelot I can confirm that SCRAN is indeed a naval term. It's my understanding that it's derived from a ration that contained Sultanas, Currents, Raisins And Nuts.
Think in all honesty we have to cut all these pubs, restaurants and eateries a bit of slack. Closed for ages, most of the old staff get other jobs then suddenly all these places are packed.
Hi Andy, you're right about "Scran" being a naval term, I worked as a Diver with a ex-Royal Marine and ex-Navy guy and they were always on about "Scran" never grub or food. Back in the '90,s we always went to the Little Chefs the "Olympus" fried brekky was mega.
Been to both the pubs there, The Boat is probably the best one. There’s a Canal Museum just before the tunnel that’s got a rare sign for the Uttoxeter Canal! If you want an absolutely cracking Canal Side pub try the Great Western at Aynho….good place to take Mrs Flyer for a treat! Have a good one! 👍
Thanks for another fun video; I feel like I’m one of the friends with you on the scran. (And really I agree that a four rating is harsh, Mate. It looked like a proper pie, and mashed potatoes will always elevate a score in my book.)
Great video as usual, as a chef I can verify that the catering sector is in dire straits, I’m running with a third of pre COVID staffing . Thanks to brexit! Please be understanding of the supply difficulties we are experiencing with staff and food. My Speed Twin has a clock.
@@gzk6nk I don't think the foreign staff would have come back after covid anyway. Travel is still totally messed up. At this point know one knows what the future holds.
@@chrishart8548 Covid has been a handy smokescreen for the unfortunate effects of brexit for this government (and brexiters). But now that smoke is clearing and we clearly see that if you have a hard right brexit that includes draconian foreign worker rules it WILL result in problems in businesses which depend on such labour,. Such as hospitality. This is my last word on this as it's TMF's channel and it's about bikes, not politics.
As usual very entertaining. As much as I hate UK for leaving EU I keep finding myself getting back to British motorcycle youtubers for their informative and entertaining videos. I love the landscape, the language and the Triumphs! Those exhausts sound terrific. I bet they are not stock?
Actually they sort of are - they’re the Vance and Hines ones that Triumph offered as an option on the first Speed Twins - sadly they’re not available for the current bike….
A good route from where you are is A413, Aylesbury - Buckinghan then A422 Deanshanger, A5. Or A413 Buckingham and stay on 413 to Whittlebury then right onto A43 Towcester, right again back down A5.
Stoke Bruerne used to be a staple day out from school, but I don’t suppose we went to either pub! Still, nice over run exhaust sound from the Speed Twin, and any dry day out on the bike has to be a good one.
No clocks on any of my bikes until recent purchase of Tiger 800. Just needed to stick on a small clock onto the handle bars. Job done. Very critical diners 😋
We used The Navigation a few years ago when picking up a canal boat for a weeks holiday and had the mixed grill was enormous double lamb chop liver large pork chop 2 sausages 2 fried eggs steak gammon steak big pile of chips on a separate plate with mushrooms onion rings and veg when I had finished this was lunchtime we did not bother to eat till a very light breakfast of just toast and coffee it was brilliant then but I had heard that it had changed hands and not to bother going back that The Boat was the best bet for a reasonable lunch
25+ years ago I used to live in Milton Keynes and that pub was the weekend spot. Their food back then was fantastic, the garden was different too. I remember inside being a warm traditional country pub, with a roaring fire and a dog bowl by the bar. The type of things I miss here now in Austin Texas. I ride a 2019 Street Twin, not to be confused with a Speed Twin 😉.. Always great videos, keep them coming!
I live in Banbury and all of the routes to the Super Sausage are wonderful swoopy roads, with some very picturesque villages through which to quietly trundle. I even braved this morning's fog to enjoy some breakfast there this morning.
Although a dyed in the wool northerner, I lived in northampton during the 80s and visited super Sausage many times,and indeed Stoke bruerne. Yam Fz750 at the time.
Looks like a lovely place Andy.. there nothing like a good pub on a canal. Locally here they just opened up a pub called the Union Jack, although it looks more like a fancy McDonalds on the inside, but it is English food👍.
Shame The Sausage was shut. I go there fairly often from Aylesbury and always find some great roads. It looks like your sat nav was set to avoid bends. I would recommend going to Winslow, then right to Nash and Beechampton towards Stony Stratford but turn left about a mile before and go through Passenham then onto the A5 via the A422. As you found there are some great roads around Stoke Bruene . I have a TomTom 550 and it has Thrill Ride option, its a great way of finding a twisty route
Another great video. Always good to see you and the lads. As it's 12:40 am I am off to bed but as always looking forward to your next video till then good night, oops I mean good morning since that's what it is where you reside.
Next time you go to The Sausage try a different route. From Aylesbury take the A413 through Winslow to Buckingham then at Buckingham the A422 past Deanshanger to the A5. The turn left and the cafe is just up the road. A more interesting ride and less congestion.
@@TheMissendenFlyer did you find your digital clock? Ps The 'Super Sausage' used to be one of our lunch-stops on a day-run with Suffolk Police driving school
Oh the hardship! no sat nav , no clock ,go pro dead ,average food . Sorry young Mr Flyer that sounds a bit ...... ok im not going to say it because I respect you too much .. Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
Haha...I always get Street and Speed Twin confused. I picked up the new Speed Twin 3 weeks ago and even the dealer confused Street and Speed when I called to check on status of my first service. Absolutely love my Speed Twin. Sold my BMW R9T earlier this year in anticipation of the Speed Twin and am absolutely thrilled with it.
I have to say, I actually think you should do more of these vids. I think the format is a winner. especially if you do actually find some good food somewhere... thumbs up from me buddy...
A long weekend in South Africa and both yesterday and today I took the R1200gsa on 200kms of dirt road tracks each of the two days. Being winter it is very dusty, thick sand and hilly ascents are very rocky. The GS was much more comfortable than any previous bike I took on these routes (KTM 1190 adv r; KLR 650; Honda Transalp; F800gsa) and handled the very difficult terrain amazingly well, weight was a non issue. What ended up being a royal pain however was reigning in all that power. Cruising at 60km/h fell between 3rd and 4th, with 3rd having too much torque and 4th resulting in exceeding safe speeds too easily. The minute throttle control started to get challenging as my wrist tired out with speed control, never a good idea on these type of roads, not being an option in enduro mode. Would be nice if I could have dialled in the rain mode throttle response while in enduro mode.
Apparantly it's in new hands and is much improved in recent years - I haven't been for about 3 or 4 years so will try again as it sounds like it may well be OK now.....
Amusingly you rode past the Boat which is a far better option, or at least it used to be!! The Super Sausage used to be my daily brekkie halt en route from Watford to Towcester when I was doing a project there. Great food, great people and great service!!
To get the clock on my Speed Twin I just press the "i" info button on left handle bar a few times (I think it's 5 times to toggle through the other info) and that displays the clock in a digital 24 hour format. If you've not set it up yet then it will not be showing the correct time so you'll need to look in the manual to see how to set the correct time.
You need to film a couple of long rides on the speed twin, I could listen to it all day! I rarely have a clock on any of my bikes, I do a very old fashioned, traditional thing. It's called 'looking at my watch '...
@@TheMissendenFlyer winter gloves, yes, but short summer gloves I've never had a problem with. And dead easy to have a quick look when waiting at lights. The problem with clocks on bikes is they encourage you to ride faster if you're late for something. I drive for a living and I'm constantly clock watching. It's nice to get away from that when on a bike....
@@TheMissendenFlyer Hell no as yes it’s always bad 😂. We’ve been to the one over the road more, still not great but ok for a drink. I’m about 10mins away in Northampton.
The word "scran" does mean food, and it's used all the time in Liverpool. It's an early 18th century synonym for a bill at a tavern; the origin is unknown. Later, it was used by the British military (Navy and Army) to mean "food". You'll hear it being used in Northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, particularly in County Antrim.
If ur 'up north' you could try the highest pub in England.....Tan Hill. Has accommodation and live music on a weekend. Great location for riding into Teesdale/Weardale/North Yorks.
I got myself all excited when you mentioned jacks hill cafe. I’ve actually stopped there a few times. Well actually the truck park around the back. Always enjoyed the scran but it’s a bit rough and ready. Even for truckers 😜
Yes in fairness I’ve always found the food ok - as you say, just a bit rough though I’m told on here it’s under new management now and has had a refurb, so defo worth another try….
You picked the wrong pub. In Stoke Bruegel you should have gone to the Spice of Brunei Indian on the opposite side of the bridge, or if you wanted a pub The Plough in Shutlanger or The White Hart in Grafton Regis.. Three of the best eateries in the area. Alternatively Granny’s cafe in Weedon village is excellent too.
I recommend Danish Camp, on the outskirts of Bedford. Great location, nice food. It's frequented by little groups from the BMW riding school, which is how I came across it in 2015. Some good roads around and about too. Like the Super Sausage, it pays to go off piste to find some twisties .
As usual, an entertaining story. Thanks. No clock? Press the “I” button (Left hand switch cube) to scroll between Odometer, Trip 1 and 2, Average and Instantaneous mpg, traction control, TPMS (if fitted), ABS and traction control and finally the clock, all in the left hand LCD display.

Maybe that’s it!
Why not just have a clock, on display, all the time? I'm with TMF here.
Clock? If you're enjoying the ride who cares what time it is! But, if it's really that important you could always get one one of those newfangled wrist clocks! LOL
I just bought an OXFORD clock and set that up on the bars. It is horribly inaccurate, but I reset it once per week...
@@davidellis2021 what if you're on your way to an mot service. Meeting someone at a certain time or an appointment.
It has a clock! Mine has a clock. Keep hitting the "I" information button until the time shows! Should be a screen in the left side dial
Yep mine also has a clock, 2020 speed twin, in Australia.⏰
2020 owner in US and I was going to say the same thing
Yep. They all have clocks BUT I know TMF swapped his clocks out because he didn't like the ones that come with it (can't understand why) and I think that's where his problem lies
Speed Twin sounds lovely!
Is that the stock exhaust?
I LOVE my B-Line here in the USA! I was the first to get one here and It is amazing. Triumph now lists it in their accessories. It is a genius device!
Motorcycling and restaurant reviews. It doesn't get any better.
Cheers Charlie!
Motorcycling and strip club reviews might just edge it!
@@timmo3351 Why didn't I think of that!! Not sure Dan would be up for it.....
I'd like to see you try and sell that idea to Mrs Flyer 😂😂😂
The new speed twin. You get the clock by pressing the *i* button until it comes up. I test rode it last week.
Great video Andy good to watch something that is bike related but not just a straightforward review very entertaining loved the sense of humour the three of you share. Look forward to your next video ride safe.😊🏍🏍🏍

It is indeed a naval term. The Army call their food ‘scoff’ and the RAF call their food ‘room service’! 🤣🤣🤣
I also heard that the Navy navigate by the stars, the Army sleep under the stars and the RAF choose their hotels by the stars!!

Yes fair point….
Hi Andy, you're right about "Scran" being a naval term, I worked as a Diver with a ex-Royal Marine and ex-Navy guy and they were always on about "Scran" never grub or food. Back in the '90,s we always went to the Little Chefs the "Olympus" fried brekky was mega.

Very nice video. Entertaining story, super nice guys with great natural attitude in front of the camera.

Yes in fairness I’ve always found the food ok - as you say, just a bit rough though I’m told on here it’s under new management now and has had a refurb, so defo worth another try….
Hi Andy,
In the army we called food Scran too so universal methinks. Fun video by the way.
Thanks! Must be a military thing…
Same as the ride to the Ace cafe North London not good. The North circular is full of speed camera's and traffic.
You picked the wrong pub. In Stoke Bruegel you should have gone to the Spice of Brunei Indian on the opposite side of the bridge, or if you wanted a pub The Plough in Shutlanger or The White Hart in Grafton Regis.. Three of the best eateries in the area. Alternatively Granny’s cafe in Weedon village is excellent too.
Thanks for the tips!
Great video Andy thought you were a bit harsh with your food score though.
I thought I was generous!
I recommend Danish Camp, on the outskirts of Bedford. Great location, nice food. It's frequented by little groups from the BMW riding school, which is how I came across it in 2015. Some good roads around and about too. Like the Super Sausage, it pays to go off piste to find some twisties .
I’m surprised you didn’t go Aylesbury- Winslow-Buckingham. Brilliant roads
Next time I will....
