- Taking the Triumph Bonneville T120 to the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Manchester, May 2022.
Typically for Manchester, moody skies and the threat of rain overhung the start to the day. But The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride wasn't going to stop for a bit moisture. The multiple events occurring in the city centre did however stop the normal 'city' route for this year's DGR. Nevertheless, we carved a route out from Manchester Triumph to Barton Airfield and didn't get rained on once. That's almost a miracle.
To the folks that came up and said hello today, thank you so much! It was really great to meet you and put faces to names, I was touched that you'd even come up to say hello.
Hopefully I'll see you again at next year's event where we can make a proper spectacle in the city centre!

I was there!!! Great video, great day and well attended . Done most of them (not lockdown)all in Madchester ,it's a 400 mile round trip but hey ho, i was'nt doing anything else.
That’s a great effort travelling 400 miles for it 👏🏻.
Wow! So wonderful!
Thanks!
Blown away by the cinematography and attention to detail, thanks for sharing :)
Glad you liked it Chris! I’ve watched a bunch of your videos, I haven’t seen too many Inty’s get the scram treatment, yours looks 👌
Great vid ❤️ and lovely bike too!
Glad you like them both Sophie!
Perfect story telling on the first half of the vid.
Thanks 🙏
I absolutely love my America.....this made my heart sing...thank you
You’re welcome, glad you liked it!
Great footages, lovely soundtrack and excellent editing! Great work, great vid!
Glad you liked it Lawrence!
Great to meet you today Matt. Keep these videos coming. You've got a real talent.
Carl.
Nice to meet you too Carl, hope you enjoyed the ride today!
An awesome video of an awesome cause, well done Matt!! 👍👍
Thanks Nelio! 👊
Great to meet you on the day, love your filming and editing. Look forward to the next adventure 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Stefan, was great to meet you too. Hope you enjoyed the day, so glad we didn't get rained on!
Lovely ride..lovely day!! Awesome event..Best wishes from DGR Kathmandu!!!
Thanks, hope you had a great DGR!
Great vid. 🤩 👍
Thanks !
Glad you liked it 👊
What amazing video, I did the Johannesburg DGR and loved every minute of it! My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer but luckily he is on the mend, so this ride was something very dear to my heart.
So glad to hear your dad is getting better, it’s what the ride us all about so well done for taking part 👏🏻
Joined the counterpart in Malaysia today, absolutely stunning event, glad the retro motorcycles are alive and long living, loved every minute in it.
So glad you enjoyed your ride, it’s amazing to see folk doing the ride all over the planet.
Really an excellent video compilation. Thank you! Surrey Hills Rider
Glad you liked it 👊
Thanks Matt, Nice to see and hear the bikes and street ambience alongside the music. Similar down in Bristol today where three hundred spectacular gents and some ladies attended the DGR today sharing a really stunning ride in very hot sunshine. I wish I had the skills to create a record of the event like you have. Best wishes.
It sounds like Bristol had a great turnout, I’m sure someone was there filming it so hopefully they’ll put something out for you to remember the day by.🤞
Your videos rock man! Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks dude!
Really enjoyed the ambition on display here, particularly the opening/initial sequence. Still hard to believe you're doing it all on your lonesome (i.e. without a crew). Keep them coming, Matt.
Thanks Simon, just trying to make them a bit more interesting to watch 😁
Excellent video, really tastefully presented , loved the intro.
Thanks Ian, glad you liked it!
Hi Matt, looks like you had fun. I did the Bournemouth/ Poole ride and it was a lovely day out by the seaside with c700 other gentlefolk, great cause. Nice vid as always.
Wow that’s an amazing number of riders, I lived in Bournemouth for a little while so I can imagine it’s a great venue for DGR.
Great job, unfortunately here in Nashville TN the ride is postponed and rescheduled for June 5th. I’m so very looking forward to it. Thank you for enlightening me to this cause.
That’s a shame it got postponed, June’s not too far away though. I hope you get a good turnout for the day!
hello Mat, beautiful meeting, triumph Argentina also held it here in many cities, my administration and respect for you and the entire triumph community, cordial greetings to all.
Hey thanks Julian! Hope you're well!
El DGR, en Buenos Aires.. junto a miles de motocilcistas,,en una fria mañana de domingo..saludos
Hey there 👋, I hope you had a good ride!
Very nice video!
Thanks Dave, glad you liked it!
Very sharp.
I try 😁
Was a genuine pleasure to have met you yesterday, love the video; amazing quality as always, I take inspiration from your videos when doing my own, I really do think you’re doing motorcycling correctly 👌👊
Thanks mate, it was great to meet you too. I’ve subbed to your channel so looking forward to more videos from you 👊
@@ClassicRides
Thank you, I really appreciate that, I’ll have to up my game now 👍
amazing motovlog
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Another amazing vlog Matt & a great turnout, glad the weather held out for you.
Thanks Les, it was 50/50 with the weather (when is it not in Manchester?). Hope you got out on yours this weekend, seems like everyone got a nice couple of days for riding.
@@ClassicRides how are the new tyres going Matt, I was looking at getting those myself?
@@lesperchard3793 they’re great so far, they seem very grippy and the bike feels more nimble, haven’t ridden them in the wet yet so I can’t comment on that, but I’ve heard good things. As long as they last more than 3.5k miles then that’s a win over the last tyres.
@@ClassicRides that’s good news Matt.
Great VDO :-)
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Regards from Argentina. The biggest DGR, with more of 3k riders!
Well done! That’s an incredible gathering of well dressed motorcyclists and bikes 👏🏻
Great video! I gasped when I thought you were going to use the Apple Watch.
😁 it’s a good every day watch, but not for special occasions.
Fabulous vid sir a true gentleman’s ride regards fred ps I partook in the Winchester DGR then on to Thruxton for the finish 70 riders in total 👌😎
Sounds like you had a great day!
Great video as always, I took part in the the DGR in Dublin today (First time)- Met some lovely people and raised some money for a worthy cause, Looks like you had a good one in Manchester.
Good effort Adrian! It's a great cause so glad you took part, hope you enjoyed it. Manchester's was pretty good considering the odds of rain were high and we couldn't go into the city.
What did (if at All) it cost to be part of it?
@@bikersrightscount8605 it doesn’t cost anything, ideally there’s a sponsorship part where you try to raise money for the DGR’s charities, but it’s not a prerequisite for taking part, you just need the right kind of bike and a willingness to spruce yourself up a bit 😁
Looks like you had a great day. Had an equally enjoyable day with the Derbyshire DGR group. My first time, but will be an annual event from now on. Video captured the event well 👍
I very nearly went to that one instead, but the rain kept me indoors a bit longer than I wanted so by the time it stopped, I couldn't have got there in time. Looked like a good turnout for your event, glad you enjoyed it!
It was a really nice ride from Belper through Matlock Bath & Chatsworth House up to Calver. Maybe next year 👍
Nice outfit, fits the bike well
Thank you, I might start dressing like that all the time, never had so many waves from strangers in my life 😁
Hope you're a M-City's fan ... pretty PERFECT Sunday, hey?!?
Congrats! Cheers from PORTUGAL
Hey Luis, I’m not a huge football fan to be fair, but I still had a great day 😁
👏
👊
We had this also in Chile of course remind me your Channel 😀
I hope you had a good ride Juan!
It was also a fun day here at Porto with a great sun shine with my Royal Classic 500, meeting other owners....But I must improve my outfit. I need a bow tie.😁...and biker goggles ...over my glasses.
Yes an open face helmet, Classic goggles and a bow tie are the perfect choice for DGR, your bike is already spot on!
Bro you are kidding me having the time for the intro :)))) i got up at 6am, after no sleep, scrambled my camera gear, didn't even have time to put my fancy pants on and my buddy was already honking his bike in front of the house... will post my video later too (at some point). Looks great!
There are 24 serviceable hours in every day 😂. Can’t wait for your video dude!
@@ClassicRides when did you wake up for it :)
@@enfieldlover8145 I’m in a horrible routine of waking up at about 5am at the mo. The beginning bits didn’t really take that long to shoot to be fair.
que lindo argentina debe tener algo asi
I’m sure it does, have a look on the DGR website and there will probably be a city ride near you.
Well done to all and thanks for the video Matt
Literally my pleasure Ian!
Keep meaning to ask you Matt how many miles have you done on you T120 now ?
@@ianclarke4814 it’s up to about 13k miles now, a fair few years left in it yet (I hope!)
@@ClassicRides for sure these engines should easily do 100k serviced at intervals etc
I'm embarrassed to say my t120 is 8 months old I've done 370 miles!!!
Hope to get a bundle on it when I retire in a few months time when you work for yourself there's never enough free time
Really enjoyed the Nc500 films thanks so much
Would you consider a French trip say Normandy coastline I wonder?
@@ianclarke4814 I work for myself too so totally understand that time off riding a bike is time you could’ve spent earning a living, it’s one of the reasons I started the channel ‘shop’, I wouldn’t be able to take time out to make videos without it.
Yes a trip to Europe’s been on the table for a while, but it’s the taking time off issue that’s stopped me so far. One day, hopefully!
My ride was in Stockholm. We're starting to get DGR known over here.
I hope you had a good turnout for your ride!
@@ClassicRides Yes! Some 100 + bikes, and nice weather. Last year I had prostate cancer surgery, so this event is even more important to me now.
@@theno1wall glad to hear your surgery went well, long may you stay clear.
Cracking video....can I ask what have you done to lower the back part of the silencer down....looks so much better.
I see you all ended up at Barton Airfield.......wish I knew it was on....would have come for a look....love they ride in there Monday evenings.
Hi Nick, glad you liked the video. I haven’t done anything to the rear silencers so they’re just at the normal position for peashooter exhausts. A lot of folk put upswept aftermarket cans on but I prefer the more traditional look.
@@ClassicRides I see....maybe the T120 is different in that respect then...I have a 2020 T100....peashooter completely block the rear wheel axle nuts....makes chain adjustment a pain involving removing both peashooters....also they have a slight upward tilt....to me they would look more in keeping more parallel to the road....as per the 60s Bonnie.
Must take a look at a T120.
@@nickaxe771 I think the t100 & t120 are the same in respect of where the exhausts sit, maybe it’s just the camera angle makes them look different 🤷🏻♂️
@@ClassicRides I am now thinking ...it could be the riders weight on the bike making the exhaust appear lower.
Only used to seeing my bike with no weight on it.....thanks for your help.....keep up the great work on the videos....very professional.
If you look back at the vid at 1m 10s you can see the tail pipe is well clear of the axle bolt....that bolt is usually covering that bolt....to an extent that the silencer needs removing the get the bolt out.
I wonder....it the silencer is not hung in a different way....have your rear shocks/spring been modified....or is it possible the springs themselves are weak....something is causing the rear of you bike to ride lower.....could the be a lot of weight in your saddle bags.
Was looking at some brand new T120 at Stafford Triumph on Sat just gone....in std trim the rear exhaust blocks access to the axle bolt.
Well done matey. I intended to put a good vid together but a seized gear lever distracted me from all the usual B-reel, that and running out of fuel at the finish line. I'll put one up soon, I was riding behind you so no doubt you'll get on mine, watch this space!
You were on the Kamasuki! That’s an incredible looking bike, think you might have stole the show on it 😁. I’ve subbed to your channel so I’ll watch out for your video!
@@ClassicRides I dunno, some lovely bikes around but I'll take the compliment! Yeah, I'm a cheapskate and have an old version of Premier and now have an insta360 so it may take a bit longer than usual to put a vid together but you're already in the cut now before I even saw your vid as you departed right in front of me.
@@eightbysixteen8144 have a look at DaVinci Resolve, it’s free and a million times better than Premier (in my opinion). I too am a cheapskate 😁
@@ClassicRides Ok will do! thanks.
@@ClassicRides are you using 17 or 18, I crashed 18 bringing 360 footage in. I deffo like the software, thanks for the heads-up
Are police more leniet with leaving bikes that have the black/white regi plate. Even if they're newer models
I think it depends on the bike, the black and white plate doesn’t look out of place on my bike so I’ve had no bother yet, but I don’t think you’d get away with it on a sports bike or something like that.
Matt, hi! Tell me about your motorcycles, please.
Hey there, there’s more info on my bike at www.classic-rides.co.uk
@@ClassicRides Ok. Thx! I went to read ))
@@ClassicRides Sorry, Matt. One more questions. Tell me about your motorcycle glasses.
@@GoodBoy_ The sunglasses are just some cheap ones I got from Halfords (my Raybans are too thick to fit inside comfortably), the goggles are Leon Jeantet Aviator Googles :)
@@ClassicRides O! I understand. Leon Jeantet Aviator Googles - very good, very stylish! Thx & good luck! I wait new video from you.
Triumph ... must love this , how much does triumph give to mens health ??? . When did a charity be come a business . ?
I don’t work for Triumph 🤷🏻♂️
Why the annoying music?
Because it's my video and I want to put music on it...
