  • I searched and I searched but they were not there. Darren John searched all day and was not successful in what he was looking for. At London Excel annual motorbike show ducati's were not there.
    Hey everyone, how you doin! 🙂🙏🏼
    I hope you enjoy this video and get value from the creative content each time I upload. The Darren John channel is everything from my home town London to Tenerife in the Canary Islands and a whole lot in-between. 🏝

    If Norton can be bothered to show up, why don’t Ducati? Madness. Love bikes though, still got my Ninja and she’s coming out of the shed soon. Only 2 things missing in the vlog mate. Not Honda or Ducati; a beer and a burger. Perfect. 👍🏼

    Hi Darren there’s so many fantastic bikes there it’s just a shame Ducati weren’t there, we once met and had dinner with Geoff Dukes and his wife they were staying in the same hotel in Tenerife as us , he won the TT six times

    Good Evening Darren. It looked like an Incredible Exibition of Motorcycle Engineering and the new models. Like you were saying, you told that Ducatti and Honda were not there. What a shame they could not be bothered. It really does make you think, what is happening to the Motorcycle and Vehicle Industry these days. Is it that people can not afford to purchase these Products anymore? Darren, You do own some really Lovely Motorcycles. I will never forget your Motorcycle Tour and round from England to Tenerife with your Friend. Your Video's each day you posted your absolutely the Best. Some of your Drone footage was Superb Darren. Thank you very much.

    Well Darren,as a non- driver & happy pedestrian, i can take in the technical detail & admire the stylish machines. But,could never spend such huge amount of money on two wheels, to be fair, nor would I spend it on four 😂. Still it takes all sorts. I'm happy in the back of a London Black Taxi,sat back being told what's wrong with the world, and how to fix it. Who they had in the cab last week😢 And get wherever i need to be,without hassle. But still an interesting video. Cheers until the next one Allan&Family

    Went Saturday Darren…. Agree with you about major brands not being there… First visit to the Excel….

    You've Got Me Pining For Another Bike Darren. Preferably A RR Superbike. Miss That Unique Freedom. Have I Ever Told Ya That I Worked (Self-Employed) For Many Years As A Bike Courier For A Few Firms Based In Manchester. Apart From Winter And The Inevitable Treacherous Icy Conditions Beginning To Arise At That Time Of The Year (Usually Jacked It In From December 'Til March tbh) It Was A Dream Of A Job (Rain And Countless Near Death Accidents Usually If Not Always The Fault Of Four Wheel Motorists A Bit Of A Pain lol)) Travelling Literally Everywhere All Over England Including God Knows How Many Trips To Your Neck Of The Woods ie:- All Over London Sky HQ In Isleworth Frequently Included, Wales and Scotland etc.. Loved It Man. Went Through A Fair Few Courier Bikes During That Time. Yeah..Paid For Riding A Bike. It Doesn't Get Better than That. Endless Stories To Relate.
    Anyways, As Always I Hope Both Yourself and Your Loved Ones Are All Very Well. Keep Up With The Brilliant Vids Mate.

    Surprized Ducati didn't bother having a stand but maybe they have the same opinion as yourself Darren that a 1 hour show is not worthwhile. I sold my Rewaco trike and tear-drop last November and I know I will miss it this summer.

    A simple trip to a dealership will show you what's on the market and with a possible test ride too. Why bother with the travel expenses, parking, possible ulez charges, admission cost etc just to get a few quid off a new helmet? I'm retired now and looking to reduce my 6 motorcycle collection also :D

    As the event gets more stale and you can see the age demographic is well over 50, it tells you that the price will go up as these brands market to an ever more narrow focus of buyers.
