A morning, a ruin and a Triumph Bonneville T120.

- Riding the Triumph Bonneville T120 to a sunrise breakfast at the ruins of an ancient manor house.
Stepping out from my front door at 4.00am, I found my trusty Triumph Bonneville T120 patiently waiting for our ride down through the Peak District to Throwley Old Hall. I had wanted to get there in time for sunrise, but an unanticipated patch of very thick (and cold) fog slowed us down just enough to miss the dawn breaking at the Old Hall by about 20 minutes.
But it didn't matter, I still enjoyed a cup of hot tea in the ruins of the sixteenth century manor house. What remains at the site is the crumbing walls of the east wing, once a large hall it hosted prestigious families for hundreds of years before its last occupants left. It's beautiful spot, surrounded by lush farmland and stunning views, I'd say it was easily the most peaceful cup of tea I've had in a long time.
Riding through this part of the Peak District is a real delight for those interested in history, the roads are narrow and twisty and intersected by ancient villages, each full of buildings that haven't changed that much in centuries. It's a really great place to spend a day exploring on a motorcycle.

Beautifully Composed shots! Your videos encapsulated 85% of what motorcycling is for me!
Thanks 🙏 Very intrigued, what’s the other 15%?
@@ClassicRides I has to do with how motorcycle riding has been key to restoring part of my mental health. I guess that’s very hard to portray through video. In any case, congrats on your quality videos and I hope ti see more soon! 😉
Thanks! Enjoyed another one.............
Glad you did 🙏
always congratulations..always emotion..👍👍👍regards from Italy🌄
Thanks, so glad you liked it! 🙏
Thank you again for this great and relaxing video. Just inspiring! Best regards from Switzerland Rico
So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a great New Year!
Great work, you have a great appreciation and view of the world thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Edward, so glad you liked the video.
Nice one Matt, most enjoyable.....
Thanks Henry, glad you liked it!
Ya esta el buen tiempo para la moto en el hemisferio norte.. saludos
Glad you’re getting some good riding weather!
hello Mat, I hope you are very well like all your followers and inhabitants of your country, I know there is a major heat wave that has them sick. big hug and that everything happens soon
Hi Julian, thank you for the well wishes! We’ve had a few hot days, but we’re past the worst of it now I think. I hope the temperature where you are is more reasonable 🙏
Marvellous as usual
So glad you think so! 👐🏻
Stunning once again. Every shot is a perfect composition. I woke up this AM, watched your clip, and now ready to roll out for a few hour ride in the country side of North Carolina here across the pond. Thank you again for endless inspiration. Stay safe and be well!
Steve
Hope you have a great ride today Steve!
AWESOME VIDEO SIR JEE😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you again sir! 🙏
멋진 영상 감사합니다.
Thank you and you’re most welcome 🙏
After seeing your bike, I became interested in Triumph. The colors and customization are calm and nice. It feels like an adult calm bike. I'm riding Kawasaki's old bike Mach 3, but I wanted to calm down and switch to this bike. I'm looking forward to your video in the future. From Tokyo, Japan
Thank you 🙏 It’s a very lovely bike to ride, I’m sure you’d find it very different to your Mach 3. It’s still very fast if you want it to be, but it’s also great for just riding slowly through the countryside.
Amazing inspiring Video
Super glad you think so! 👊
Buenas, genial video,me encanta la paz que transmite la tranquilidad, creo que con este vídeo has vuelto a tus orígenes bajo mi punto de vista,como siempre un placer,un saludo desde España.
Thank you Eduardo, I’ve been trying a few different things recently, but these types of videos will always be the main focus of the channel 😊
Great filming as usual Matt. I loved the light levels and sun bursts. Beautiful scenery and empty roads. A perfect ride.
Thanks Carl, nice light and empty roads are the payoff for getting up a 3.30am 😁
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Atsuki 😁
Beautiful! Thank you. Ride safe!
You’re welcome Rob, glad you liked it.
Nice! I also like morning rides.
I really like your movies and as always... Can't wait next one, maybe with camping next time? Greetings from Poland!
I don't know if it'll be the next one, but there are definitely more camping videos planned!
Amazing quality filming as always. Love your films.👍
Thanks JG, always happy to hear folk like my videos.
Wonderful, thank you.
Glad you liked it David 👍
Super-relaxing, as usual a superb video. Compliments from Italy.
Thanks, so glad you liked it Cesare.
Perfection. Amazing video. That cup of tea at the ruin was... great. Thanks!
It certainly was a good cup of tea! Glad you liked the video.
Really nice work! This is what you do best. Don’t change👌🏻👌🏻 . I love your channel , especially because I ride a 2013 Triumph Bonnieville. Great scenery. Very relaxing to watch. 😎
Thanks JJ, don’t worry I’m not changing what the channel’s about any time soon 👍
Hi classic rides , great weather for the ride
It was, started off foggy but turned out pretty good in the end ☀️
Wow Matt - pointing the camera into the early morning sun, shallow depth of field and fixed focus which the bike rides out of, multiple camera set-ups for the coffee scene, slow-mo (or was that my internet connection).... I salute your ambition. Possibly your best work yet!
Thanks Simon, I hope I’m improving a bit each time I make one. I’ve been a professional photographer for 10 years, but videography is a whole new ball game for me, but good to know that it’s coming along a bit :)
hello Mat, what a sunrise, or you woke up very early or they slept until very late there, you didn't meet anyone on the route, haha, thanks for showing us that beautiful motorcycle and country... big hug for you and your community and that end the weekend very well. good routes
Hey Julian, I hope you’re also getting some nice weather for riding!
Как всегда приятно и прекрасно смотреть ваше путешествие, смотрю их всегда в пятницу, потому что затра суббота и я поеду тоже на своем триумфе бонневиле Т120 (только по России) Скажите пожалуйста, вы проезжаете в Уэльсе через город Трегарон ( в ваших видео я ни разу не видел такой поездки) у меня там живут Друзья и знакомые, очень хотелось бы увидеть эти места через ваш канал. к сожалению мои планы на мото путешествие на югозапад великобритании в этом году сломались полностью((
Sorry to hear your travel plans have been postponed, it’s a strange time we all live in. Tregaron is a little far south in Wales for me to visit normally, although I may make it part of a longer trip to the Brecon Beacons, so who knows, it may show up at some point in one of my videos!
Буду ждать каждый выпуск с надеждой :-)
Very enjoyable as I'm laid up with sciatica and can't get out to ride.
That doesn’t sound fun, hope you get back on your feet soon!
That was fun to see! And a great ride for you ! I would like to get the speedmaster out and go for a ride like that but gas the way it is here, it takes the fun out of the ride when you pay two times as much for a tank of gas and only get 3/4 of gas mileage you got a year a go. Do to bad gas.
Yes we’re having bad fuel forced on us too, luckily we can still get the good stuff for a little while longer! It’s not too cheap here either, silly prices these days.
AweSome. Loving ur luggage when are the panniers back in stock 🤔 I want one and a sling bag.
Glad you liked the video Andy. I’m hoping to have a few more of the panniers back in stock next week, if you pop your email address in on the website shop page for the panniers (try adding one to your basket and it should ask you to join a waitlist) I’ll email you as soon as they get in 👍
こんにちはマットさん、今回も素晴らしい映像をありがとう。コーヒーを飲むシーンがよかったです。城跡なのかな？農場の跡かな？牛はジャージーですね。僕ら地域はホルスタインが多いですよ。うまく英訳出来てればいいです。今後もご安全に！（日本の挨拶です。スローライドでセイフティーで伝わるかな）
So glad you liked it! 🙏 It wasn’t a castle, it was a large Manor House that dates back to the 18th Century. The grounds of the house were originally used to keep and hunt deer, but it’s now a cattle & sheep farm.
Thank you for the words to stay safe, they’re very kind, it’s a nice thing to say and I hope you stay safe riding too.
New sub! Liked 🙏😃🌙☀️
Thanks Cabin Vibes! 🙏
Beautifully shot! The music suited it too. I think you could have more of the engine noise mixed in with it, though, just quietly in the background.
Thanks Gerry, I’d like to have more engine noise in it too, you’d be surprised how hard it is to do though.
@@ClassicRides I'm sure it is tricky! The Classic Motorcycle channel had the new BSA Gold Star's first start-up at Goodwood and the camera mic they used made it sound broken, all the bass was missing. They had another version of the audio and were able to redo it. At least your engine note sounded like it should!
@@gerryjamesedwards1227 yeah I saw that, it really didn’t sound good at all. My problem is wind noise over 30mph, it just wipes out the engine noise. And there’s also an editing issue because of the way I do my videos, it becomes very complicated to get the right audio matched with the right clip. I’m always trying different ways to do it, one day I’ll work something out!
Beautiful photography.....what's with the number plate are you back with the silver on black....did the feds make you change to black on yellow at some point? 😊
I’ve not had any problems, yet. I put the yellow plate on initially to do a Bikesafe day, then I left it on to do the NC500 as it’d have annoyed me to get the trip ruined by getting stopped for it. Now I’m just zipping around my local areas the b&w is back on, it just looks so much nicer.
@@ClassicRides it looks way better....that pre 1971 rule is cobblers these days as anpr can read anything.....it'd take an anal cop to stop you (says me the retired cop)....keep it on pal 👍
Waiting for new videos brother
I posted a new one yesterday my friend!
Another amazing video Matt, I have a confession to make, I’ve just sold my Bonnie after a year with a tear in my eye but bought a Tiger GT Pro, would love to have both but not practical, thanks for the T shirt, any plans to do them in red?
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Les! Shame your Bonnie’s gone, but I’m sure you made the right decision for you and got something you’ll enjoy more. I’ll see if I can get a T-shirt done in red for you, so I’ll let you know as soon as the printers give me an idea on how long it’ll take.
Thanks Matt, yes the Bonnie was always my poster bike so glad I’ve owned 1, but my needs have changed since getting it.
This is my 4th Triumph so I am a bit of a fan of them.
@@lesperchard3793 I'm sure you'll love the Tiger, I'd be very tempted for something a bit more touring orientated for my next bike also.
Hi, great videos, can I ask what brand of engine guards do you have? Cheers
Hi bought them from eBay so there isn’t a brand I’m afraid. They’re just copies of Triumph’s dresser bars.
G'day Matt
Looks like you have Motone Up and Over risers. We're they easy to fit and how do you find them.
All the best from WA.
Hi Alistair, I do in fact have the Up & Over risers on. I really like them actually, it’s not a massive difference but for me it just took out a bit of the lean forward, so my back doesn’t hurt quite so much after a long ride. They’re very easy to fit, just a couple of bolts to undo.
@@ClassicRides thanks Matt
bro-how is it going?~thanks~amazing video-work~ farewelll! 😈
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
How did you manage the black & silver plate on a modern bike - or does it self-identify as black & yellow…?!😳
Well, one wouldn't want to just assume the identity of my numberplate; but as of yet, plod hasn't pulled me to check. Although I'm sure the day is coming.
@@ClassicRides well, if you need a barrister…🤛
@@andrewfritchie thanks Andrew, I will definitely keep that in mind 😆
