Wow, what a venue. I'm a bike fan, but cars were my first love. As for the pasties, my Cornish wife reliably informs me that a real pasty should be filled with beef skirt, potato, swede, onion and seasoned with salt and lots of cracked black pepper. The filling should be diced and sliced, but not minced, which is a key requirement often overlooked outside of the holy land.
Yes exaclty! Thinking about the decent cornish ones I've had they have chunks of beef not minced....you're making me hungry!!
So glad you went there, I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but it's the one I recommended after the last biker scran. We go all the time.
"I've found the gents!" and "Pat's Baps" 😂 Really enjoy these videos 👍
Sorry boys you went on the wrong day. Friday and Saturday at the other end of that building they put on an excellent breakfast and the place is full of bikes and classic cars they also do great bike ride in days and events though out the year. The place is excellent and the people that work there couldn’t be more charming or knowledgeable nothing is too much trouble. Bibury just round the corner always busy a great place for an ice cream by the river.
Oh well, next time!!
Wonderfull series this, enjoyed every one! Have you ever thought of a weekend tour with Jeff n Dan? That would be a treat i am sure.
I just did a 1500km ride to Broken Hill, Australia (Mad Max country) and picked up a Cornish pasty ( pronounced “parsty” here) from Burra on the way.
This was in tribute to the Cornish miners who settled the area in the 1800’s.
I shoved it in my backpack and ate it cold at about the halfway point of the ride, in the middle of the desert, just like the miners would have done back in the day, except for the motorbikes of course.
It was excellent 😎
I'm getting hungry thinking about it!
Wow Andy what a place,some great cars & bikes. Good choice Geoff Triumph 900 is a great bike not had any problems with mine.
Yes I love the T900 I must say - great all rounder and great value too....
Hey Andy, Awesome vid, I work for Rode Microphones in Australia, and as a bike rider nice to see our products being put to use on such a great channel, cheers
Cool! Great products you guys make!
And the Bedfordshire clanger was the half meat, half sweet version of the pastry !
I really enjoy these Biker Scran episodes. Great venue in this one. Love the channel, keep up the good work. Cheers!
Delighted to hear that! Thank you…
Enjoyed tagging along virtually, I used to know of a good place to get pasties here in California in the "Gold Country". My wife's ancestors were from Cornwall and worked the mines in Nevada County, the pasty shops were a "must visit" when we were in the area. The Cornish miners were in demand because they had expertise in running the pumps that kept the hard rock mines from flooding. BTW this was the very first time I've noticed your subliminal "fine print", my keyboard skills were brought to the test in reading it!
Well done on getting the small print read!
Good advice from Geoff, when the Mrs says “come and have a look at this” and “oh i like that” , then buy it quick 😂
Those opportunities don’t come up very often do they!
Great choice for a stop, Dan. While the pasties may not have been the greatest, the hangar tours looked fun.
Sure was!
I was up there last w/nd and bumped into a couple of guys called henry cole and Alan millyard. Lovely fellas.
Indeed they are!
I think I saw a DB5 (James Bond car) at 24:50. I always enjoy these vids, and I do go to some of your sojourns.
I hate to twist the knife as you've already been teased about tyre pressure checks but having discovered through the TPS that the rear had a significant and possibly unexplained pressure drop, it really would have taken only a minute or two to spin the tyre(s) while the bike was on the centre stand at the meeting point - or before - to check for cuts, foreign objects etc.
Remember the old adage in aviation, "Don't assume, check!".
A real A C cobra!!! I think the white Chevrolet was a 61 Corvette Sebring racer. You picked a winner for this scran!
We have very similar interests it seems. Not only bikes, but also love to visit Fairford for the RIAT every now and then. 👍
Yes - a shadow of its former self but still one of the aviation highlights of the year for me…
Thanks Mr. Flyer (and friends) a very interesting and enjoyable trip. Lots of good places en-route to go to next time perhaps?
You'll never guess what I had for tea after watching this. :>)
Nice one...
Geoff and Dan, we missed you. 🙂 Congrats on the Tiger Geoff. You were right not to hesitate when the Mrs. says "oh I like that".
The venue looked great, even if the food not so. Love this series, and always a pleasure seeing Geoff and Dan.
Another great biker scran video Andy, and I must say, great choice Geoff on your new set of wheels fantastic machine 👍,
*I stop for Scran. Best of show.* 🥇
Tell Geoff that Pyramid Plastics make an infill piece for that hole at the rear. It fits perfectly. I used clear silicone sealant around mine.
Loving your adventures. As a time saver. When your taking the back wheel off a. Ub you don’t have to loosen the chain. Just undo the axle, slide it out and the wheel will come off the sprocket carrier 🤙
A day out with the mates. Doesn't get much better than that.
Your English Summer looks much like our Oregon Summer.
Yes it’s been rubbish up until now - it is improving at long last this week!
Refuel cafe, Bibury,Burford, Bourton on water and Broadway is my Cotwolds loop! Beautiful part of the country
Great scenery, great mates and pasties sounds good to me. Classic cars worry me I remember them on the road when I was young!
Yes the idea is nice, but the practicality maybe not so much - it's why I like "modern retro" motorbikes - all the looks of the old stuff but with modern reliability...(mostly)
I feel the 'Three Scranneteers' deserve a special quest. To fly North & track down the 'Black Watch Bridie'. An ancient recipe, invented out of pure necessity circa 2006 in the small town of Auchterarder, Perthshire. Approved by the very regiment that proudly carries the name, it consists of a generous base layer of fine Highland haggis, topped off with slices of lightly grilled black pudding, before it's sheer magnificence is then sealed within a half-moon pastry cocoon of delight & baked to perfection.
As the original bakers have long since retired, the creature may be tricky to track down & could even be extinct . . . but, is it worth 6 hours bouncing around & being deafened in some overpriced hireling's spam-can to find out?
Gentlemen, the gauntlet lies before you : )
Hmmmm…..
I like my haggis cooked in the traditional style. Deep Fried with salt vinegar and chips.
For the best Bridies and Pies.
I recommend. The Bakery in the derelict mall in Drumchapple. A bit of an adventure but good pies and bridies.
Stornoway has the only edible black pudding. Once a decade is enough for me.
One of the best things you do, biker scran is top viewing
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Great ride our Andy 👌...
Yes it was fun!
Lovely,- I love these scran videos of yours 👍🏻
Glad to hear that Chris! Thanks for watching and for stopping by!
You glossed over the most valuable car there. In the first hanger was that red Maserati race car (No2) which is a Maserati A6GCS Monofaro with a replica chassis but had the original engine and gearbox was raced by Juan Manuel Fangio.
Wow! I knew we were the wrong people to be commenting on those beauties...
@@TheMissendenFlyer Great place the Classic Motor Hub. Some very nice cars and bikes there Andy... 👍
Biker scran is a prime opportunity to get out on the Ducati 😊
Great video,really enjoy the Biker scram series.👍🏻
Delighted to hear that - thanks Barry....
Like how these Scran adventures are getting further afield. At one point you were very close to Humpty Hill (B4019), which has some amazing sweeping-views over the whole region. Lovely area to ride-out on, must have been hard to decide what to leave out in the final edit.
They have events through the year including bike only events, best of British etc.
What a beautiful bike the old Norton. Great video. Very naughty not checking your tyre pressures.😬
Sorry!
Great video and thanks for the classic car shots. Your issue with tyre pressures reminded me of when I helped my partner pass her test. Before each ride it was POWER - check Petrol, Oil, Water, Electrics and Rubber.
Good mnemonic....
For biking roads in the UK, I'm just back from a 650 mile epic two days in Cumbria, Northumberland, Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire. Stunning scenery, roads with hills, bends, few cameras and little traffic.
Sounds wonderful!
Shush man, if you find great roads up here keep it dark. Apart from the crap roads, bad weather, midges, unfriendly locals and weak beer its awful up here, stay away!! 😆
I’m not a car person but I do appreciate these classics seen here. That Citroen Maserati is quite unique. One I will always remember being in my “Top Trumps” sports car car packs that i had in the mid 70s
I'm embarrassed I didn't know Citroen and Meserati ever had a collaboration....nice car though!
Just watching your excellent video shows clearly just how bad our roads currently are with potholes.
Thanks.
Tell me about it!
Love your GS and the trips it's been on.
Me too - t'riffic bikes....
Haha 6:31 guy looking at the camera and then starting the engine. Nice video again.
Yes - good job he had a quiet bike!
Strangely I was thinking of a ride out this way today. The mention of a Black Pudding Cafe has got me reaching for the bike keys as I type! Loved the old Citroen and E Types too!
Now where is my tyre gauge........?
...good call!
Citroen had hydro pneumatic suspension.... amazing ride and handling!
Best mate has a fixed head XK150.... but peak performance car for me is Nissan Skyline GTR... Godzilla!
Enjoyed the video, cheers Alistair 👍
Thanks for watching Alistair - and for putting me right on that suspension....
Good bit of kit to carry on the bike is a portable Fanttik tire inflator
Thanks Andy, I love these, very entertaining!
Always entertaining road trips
Great place. We popped there a few months back. The lady told us they do more food choices on weekends. There are 2 other places nearby worth checking out if you haven't already, Blakes Kitchen in Clanfield which you probably passed (they bake amazing cinnamon rolls) and also Aston Pottery very close to Bampton.
Hmmm, thanks for those!
Love seeing the trusty GS
I shall investigate the Fairford Air show, I'd love to go to one of those again... The Mildenhall Air show always used to be my Birthday treat as a kid... It was on the end of May Bank Holiday Weekend... I.E.this weekend!
Mildenhall was an annual pilgrimage for me as a young lad, dozens of Hercules, SR71 fly bys and oh those “wet” burgers!!!! Happy days, sadly missed….
Mr Flyer, Being in Sydney Aus, we can ride anytime and get back home without wet tails, generally. In England, there are no guarantees.
A couple of beautiful Aston Martins and E-Type Jaguars.
Interesting car collection! It's a myth the miners threw the pasty crust away - they weren't that wasteful of nosh!
Went through Bibury several times a year in the 1980s on my way to Banbury lovely place ,
Great to see the series back again great to see Geoff on the triumph rally pro there don’t put a huger on as they go off road !!! Keep up the great vids
Cheers and will do!
Good stuff Andy and great to see you out on the trusty old beemer.
Yes, great bike! Still a favourite!!
Trusty n Rusty 😂😂
I remember Geoff from many moons ago at YMUK. He hasn't aged at all. Does he have the fountain of youth in his back garden?
He must have!
Great to see you out on the GS :) makes me miss mine once again.. new one looks interesting :) great vid nice seeing the old cars
Cheers!
Andy, I've just bought the Klim Marrakesh with the D30 level 2 Ghost armour upgrade, the Klim Zephyr wind shirt, the Held Rainblock Waterproof Jacket and trousers, and will be getting a Warm & Safe 12v heated base layer shirt when the temperature starts to drop, all breathable. You can roll the Klim Zephyr wind shirt, and the Held Rainblock Waterproofs up when not required - I've never felt so comfortable on a motorcycle!
Love the scran series. 🏍️😁🙌🏼
Ah i was just at that first cafe on Sunday for the oxford distinguished gentleman's ride! Excellent cafe really friendly staff.
Yes looks a great place that!
There's a after market part for the Tiger that blocks the hole on the tail.
My brother had exactly the same problem on his 900 with it flicking crud up into the top box through that hole
Great video, I enjoy the scran sessions but jeeze, the state of the roads on your route up, truly shocking! Cheers
Tell me about it!
Really enjoy the biker scran episodes!
Glad to hear that!
I enjoy these videos you guys are looking for a tv series love the area shilton dip is my favourite little spot to visit
Love the navigator you followed to Bibury, must be English because why go the direct route!
I use the cheap fuel with 1% ratio of aircraft injector cleaner booster additive from silkolene to save cash and clean those mushroom smashers in the cylinders.
My misses calls her secret lover the mushroom smasher too 😮
The pastie with jam at one end is a Bedfordshire Clanger, from my home county.
Cant believe you didn't have a closer look at the DB5.
Sorry!
Nice, very nice !!
Nice trip. , luckily, this is my back yard , as you probably went past my house as you came through Fairford. (And used to live in Bampton) If you're at Riat this year, stop off at the Railway pub bike and aviation frendly.
I’ll look out for it (I’m at RIAT for 2 days)….
Hi Andy, enjoyed the latest edition of Last of the summer wine with Geoff and Dan, never get enough petrol head stuff. Saying that if it's not to far the perfect scran venue would be the Sammy Miller motorcycle Museum at New Milton in Hampshire. By the way good to see the GS have a run out. Thank you.
Thank you for watching once again Stephen - and for the suggestion....
Great vid sir … looking forward to the next 👊
Thank you Kev!
With all the bikes and riding gear a good place to store a rain slicker would be the top box on the trusty GS. Always a good video when you have your friends with you. Watching at 3 a.m. was an eye opener. Lol. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Why 3am??? No time to be up and about....
@@TheMissendenFlyer My normal getup time. Been the same time for 20 years. Amazing how many things can get done. If I get up at 7 I feel like half the day is gone. Lol.
The two king of pasties were missing, Teapotone and Lambchopsrides!
We can't compete with their pastiethon!
Hi Andy,
Very entertaining as always, thank you!
I'm typically late to this, so apologies if this has com up already...but that's a cool looking jacket, could you please post the info?
Best,
Mark
It’s my segura Nacho
Lovely video…….again! 😀
Thank you...
Great video as usual, riding through my neck of the woods (I'm a couple of miles from Lechlade). A quick heads up on 'The Black pudding Café, Great food, great atmosphere and lovely people running it. The all day breakfast for a tenner has to be seen to be believed. A note on the side, 'The Christmas Shop' is now on the opposite side of the road to it's original location.
Thanks for the intel - sounds like a visit us a must!
Brilliant video - I’ve been enjoying these pal 👏🤜
Pleased to hear that - thanks for watching!
Great video and love Geoff's new steed. The Triumph 900 GT Pro is my favourite bike at the moment.
Very nice day trip. Jeff & Dan are good company.
" Well, Jeff was buying..." lol, that's an excellent start.
I'm intrigued by the pasty(pas😅tie?) discussion. It's really not an American thing but I would happily dig in and compare the quality like you guys did. Please, when you find a place with great pasties, please educate us Yanks. Cheers Andy.
TMF I hope won't mind recommending to you Chopsie and Teapot1 doing Cornwall and reviewing pastys. Great video!
@@simonchilli2088 I'll look it up. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!
@@seaninness334 There's an island in the great laxe called Mackinac island where Kornish miners went. There are several pasty shops in northern Michigan too.
Thanks for another fun episode-like going riding with three of my buddies. A bit of controversy: my Finnish great-grandmother made pasties for my Finnish great grandfather when he worked in the copper mines in upper Michigan, USA. She claimed that pasties were a Finnish invention co-opted by the Cornish.
As you say - controversial!
Very enjoyable. Thanks guys.
Thank you Craig - glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video TMF. But May is not summer, so you did well.. .
I think the the Bentley 8 had an inline 8 litre 6 cylinder engine... what a beast
Wow!
Bad luck getting caught in the rain... I always seem to make the wrong choice on kit this time of year too! 😀
Some nice cars.... the Citroen was lovely, am not really a car person, but can appreciate a nice classic.
Pasty should def have veg in it 😛
Agreed all round!! Fingers crossed for good weather at ABR this year eh?
@@TheMissendenFlyer Absobloominlutely 🙂
Mr Flyer takes the GS with a massive top box and he leaves his wet weather gear behind.
In England ! 🤦🏻♂️😂
You missed the joke at 4.58 "Thats inflation for you"
I always miss Dan's jokes until after the event then really enjoy them....
There's some 1200 GSes in the museum there as well 😂😂😂😂,i was planning on going there, but if it's pastys or pastys, I've changed my mind.
Apparently I’m told there’s more options at the weekend…
Enjoyed that 👍
Must pay a visit here in August, spending a few days in the Cotswolds then
2 scrans for one :P
You didn't check your tires, didn't bring your rain gear, SHAME SHAME ON YOU. kidding, great video thanks!!!!
I know, amazing how much others seem to care about whether I get wet or not!!
Just last weekend I test road the new GS and GSA. Wow, truly an amazing motorbike. Definitely the GS stole my heart. Don’t know the 13 or 14 you’ve got, but I’d be careful not to test these new ones if you’re not ready to part with “the Mighty GS”. Cheers Andy 👍🏼
I have ridden all the latest GS models - thus far not significantly better than the one I have….the new R1300 I’m expecting to be a big leap forward though….
I love the biker scran
Glad to hear that!
Love this series. I wonder, does it cost anything to have a look around the car showrooms? I realize I could probably google it...
Nope - just open for a wander
Thw Citreon SM uses Mineral Oil in its Hydro Pneumatic Suspension and that lovely sounding V6
Love these episodes.
Glad to hear that…
Some fantastic cars, the MV probably costs more than some of them. Never travel without some waterproofs in the top box.😂
Thanks for the advice!
