Why I Have To RETAKE My Bike Test!? UK Motorcycle Licencing Rules & Laws Explained.
In this video I explain why I have to redo my Mod 1 and Mod 2 motorbike tests in order to get a full A unrestricted motorcycle license in the UK.
I also explain from step one at 16 years old up to 24 and above what licence you can obtain at which age and the rules behind each licence. I cover the CBT process, AM license, A1 Licence, A2 License, and A licence. Yes it's all very confusing but hopefully it will make sense after this video.
I'm on my Harley Davidson Street Bob (Softail Standard) in this video.

Was I Right or Wrong? Same Roads; 2 Motorbikes; Triumph Bonneville T120 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350
In my recent review of the Royal Enfield Classic 350, I surmised that it is probably The Best backroad bike in the World, and many people agreed with me, but was I wrong?
To find out; I rode the Royal Enfield Classic 350, and the Triumph Bonneville T120 1200cc Modern Classic motorcycles back to back on the same backroads, to find out. I also rode my BMW R 18 cruiser motorbike down the same route, and the conclusions are interesting!
Please NOTE: any comments saying that the Triumph is faster and therefore thats like comparing apples to oranges won't be answered; those people will have missed the point...BACKroads; not open sweeping fast roads or motorways.
Many people enjoy motorcycling for the visceral joy; the feeling of freedom and enjoyment of exploring and being in beautiful places. Riding as fast as possible doesn't come in to it in these situations.

NEW Triumph Speed 400 & Scrambler 400X FIRST LOOK In The Metal!
I had the honour of being invited by Triumph to the launch of two brand new motorcycles at the Bike Shed in London. In this video we take a closer look at the Bonneville Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400x, two new editions to Triumphs modern classic line up.
I discuss some key features and specs that are unique to this bike like the new 398cc single cylinder engine and the size and feel of the new chassis. I cannot wait to review these motorbikes and see what they are like for myself. What a perfect bike for beginners/ A2 license holders, or for a second bike for a bit of fun!

Triumph T120 Review. Is THIS the best allrounder Modern Classic Bonneville Motorcycle? Black Edition
The Ol' Man reviews the new 2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black, Modern Classic Motorbike.
Filmed in stunning locations, this review gets to the essence of the Bonneville. Like it's smaller brother, the T100, the T120 with the 1200cc engine, is a beautiful looking, minimalistic design, that also packs a power punch when you need it.
If you're trying to get your head around the modern classic's, particularly the Triumph Bonnevilles, then this video may answer your questions.
As always, we try to avoid listing specifications, other than power, torque and price, but get to the emotive elements that a spec sheet cannot provide.

Is The Royal Enfield Classic 350 THE BEST Backroad Motorcycle In The World? A Modern Classic Review!
We ride the stunning Royal Enfield Classic 350 (in Chrome Bronze) across Wales to Snowdonia National Park, all on backroads, to establish whether this is the best backroad motorbike money can buy.
In the most stunning location, The Ol' Man discusses this Modern Classic bike in an interesting review, and makes some very pertinent points.
Beautifully filmed, and with some awesome riding shots, with great audio of the sound of the bike (you can really hear the engine and exhaust), this is not only an interesting motorcycle review, but a visual joy.

Triumph T120 Arrives. Which Bike would you Go For? Royal Enfield Classic 350, BMW R 18 or Bonneville
The new Triumph Bonneville T120 Black arrives! What a beauty! It joins the other two Modern Classic motorbikes in the lineup; the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and my BMW R 18 Cruiser motorcycle.
Coming very soon is a full review on the Triumph T120 Black AND the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
I have also found out some very useful updated information on importing a motorcycle/vehicle into Spain (or any EU country as far as I know), post Brexit, that is a must know for anyone thinking of moving there! relating to import duty and tax.
Also in this video I talk about a couple of comments from subscribers and something really amusing as to why one subscriber unsubscribed! You wont believe it!
Good YouTube channel for T120 and reviews @MOTOUK1

I Painted my Leather Biker Jacket! Calligraphy Writing in 1960's Ton Up Cafe Racer Motorbike Style.
I fancied making one of my leather Brando style biker jackets into a customised piece, so I bought some Acrylic Leather Paint, a few brushes, and set to work!
It took all day, allowing for drying time between coats, and the final result is great! (or rubbish, depending upon your point of view).
So if you fancy painting onto one of your leather motorcycle jackets, I'd say give it a go! That way you can create something really unique.
On mine, I put the name of our YouTube Channel - Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man, And the word 'Classic' on the back. Also I painted words on each sleeve.
I talk briefly, also, about the Royal Enfield Classic 350 which I am in the process of making a review, and the BMW R 18 and importing issues into Spain, post Brexit.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 Arrives! But Why? Is The Ol' Man Selling his BMW R18? Is this the new Bike
Today, the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorbike, in Chrome Bronze arrives, and wow, what a stunning motorcycle!
The question is...Why?
Is this going to be our new bike? Is the Ol' Man selling his beloved BMW R 18 cruiser motorcycle?
Before we review the Royal Enfield Classic 350, we want to go over a few points and details, and discuss customisation options, such as new exhaust, air filter and fuel pack, plus handlebars and other possible mods.
Coming soon is going to be a mega Classic 350 review in stunning locations!
We also discuss importing a vehicle to Spain from the UK and the TAX implications, import duty and ITV test, albeit briefly.

Epic SOLO Cinematic Motorcycle Adventure Ride on R18 Across Entire Country Backroads to the Ocean.
This is an EPIC Cinematic video, which is an audio visual feast! Filmed in 4K HD with 32 Bit Float Audio, this short film is a stunning portrayal of solo motorcycling adventure touring at it's best.
The story starts on one side of the country and takes you on a spectacular ride, through the most incredible scenery; from pretty valleys, to lakes, moorland, woodland, mountain roads and finally culminates in a pretty seaside town, with an incredible atmosphere and serenity. You MUST watch this all the way through!
The 'Ol' Man,' rides the massive BMW R 18 Cruiser Motorcycle on the journey which is in itself is a sight to behold. 1800cc of pure torque and style! It goes to show that you can do journeys of this nature on a cruiser and that you don't have to have an adventure (adv) bike.
The ride takes you through some incredibly dramatic landmarks in Wales, including Lake Vyrnwy, A large Forest, Moorland, Snowdonia National Park, Penmaenpool Toll Bridge, Barmouth, and ends looking out across The Irish Sea. We didn't show it in the video, but it has to be said that the amount of rubbish strewn across the natural landscape was a disturbing reminder of the disrespect too many people have for this planet. Tin cans, drinks bottles, takeaway coffee cups & food wrappers, dumped household waste in pristine forests, cigarette packets...the list goes on.
Saveloy & Chips, seagulls, dogs playing in the sea; rusty boats, the crunching of pebbles underfoot, moorland streams running through spectacular countryside; this wonderful video is a sensual joy to behold.
This video is a hint at the direction the channel may take; tell us what you think in the comments below. It's not a motorcycle review this time, but something different, which we hope you will enjoy.

Do Young Riders Like Classic Styling? Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review from a 20 Year Old.
Today we discuss the Royal Enfield Intercepter 650 modern classic motorbike, through the eyes of a 20 year old. This motorcycle is one of my favourites, and it would be really interesting to get a better idea of the age demographic who ride these sorts of bikes.
Let us know if you've got one and how old you are! If you're a young rider (lets say under 30), do you like it, or would you prefer a modern bike with more pointy plastic?
I believe this motorcycle is one of the best first bikes for A2 license holders and one of the best all rounders money can buy. Great bang for your buck with the royal enfield's! I take the bike to the beautiful Eyebrook Reservoir in the lovely Rutland countryside on a warm sunny day.

BMW R 18 Cruiser Review & Spectacular Ride! A perfect day for Bikers! + Review of Accessories.
A perfect day for a long ride! The Ol' Man takes the BMW R 18 Cruiser motorcycle across North Wales and finds some of the most spectacular roads you've ever seen!
The destination, in a very roundabout way, taking a long route was Lake Vyrnwy, which supplies the drinking water to Liverpool! But en-route, the Ol' Man discovers some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK!
He gives a 2 year review of the BMW R 18 motorbike and discusses the accessories fitted, including a satnav and quick mount, with a USB plug-in. and the superb Wunderliche Chrome Luggage Rack and Foldable Backrest/Pillion Seat. Other than that, the bike has been kept completely standard. Minimalism, artistic and very much a motorcycle for the connoisseur. Love to Love - Love to Hate. Please enjoy the haters comments and have a laugh with us.

Also, see if you can spot the cool Harley-Davidson that rides past while we were filming and also a couple of rally cars!

As Cool As It Gets! Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 Cruiser/Chopper/Bobber Motorcycle Review.
We review, for the second time, the new Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 motorbike.
Her's a link to our previous 2021 review - https://youtu.be/-SdgJZ_oKxs
In this review, we focus on the feelings, style and and emotive aspects of the bike, as well as the practicalities, handling, ride and other pertinent aspects.
There's no doubting that this motorcycle is super cool! But what's it like to ride? any good if you're tall? We put it to the test on a 3 hour ride across England and Wales, before making this film. We even stumbled upon a quaint English village called Harley!
As always, filmed professionally in stunning locations! A feast for the eyes and the soul!

Going For a Pint on the Royal Enfield Interceptor. The Perfect Bike For a Sunday Ride?
Today I take the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 for a Sunday ride in the beautiful Rutland British countryside. I visit Launde Abbey, A stunning location to ride to and take in the scenery. I then head to the Blue Ball, a British Country Pub located in the village of Braunston in Rutland. A truly beautiful and quintessential pub, serving delicious food and great drinks.
I also discuss some new points about the Royal Enfield including the handling, the engine, the braking, and the longevity and quality of some of the parts used on the bike.
If you have made money, and as a result, have some disposable income, you may look at buying a motorcycle to invest your money in, and if you choose wisely, you may find the right bike that becomes a future classic, and actually, over time, appreciates in value. As we are entering a new era, with electric vehicles becoming more and more prevalent, the choice motorbikes of today, could be the valuable classics of tomorow. You could of course invest in gold, silver, stocks and shares or bonds, but a motorcycle is much more fun!!! This is not financial advice but merely our opinion. Choose wisely!

The Most BadAss Cruiser On The Planet! The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 Softail Motorcycle Review.
Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man review, together, the new 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 Cruiser Motorbike.
Sponsored by BIKESURE Motorcycle Insurance Specialists - Please click this link so Bikesure know you've come from us. https://www.bikesure.co.uk/?utm_source=MrDarcy&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=BikeInf
Based on the ever popular Softail Chassis, this new Breakout has the performance tuned and hugely torquey Milwaukee 8 117 ci engine. We find out just what it's like!
How does the Breakout handle with that massive rear tyre? Does it corner? Is it a handful?
Single disc brakes - are they any good.
How is it on a long ride?
We look at the styling, design, emotiveness, comfort, ergonomics and much more! All beautifully filmed as usual, in the most stunning locations.

Heavyweight Cruiser Motorcycle Shootout. Harley-Davidson Breakout 117, BMW R 18, Triumph Speedmaster
We compare the spirit and essence of 3 Heavyweight Cruiser Motorcycles: the Harley-Davidson Breakout 117, Triumph Speedmaster Bonneville 1200, and the BMW R 18 1800cc Big Boxer Cruiser Motorcycle.
This is not a 'Top Trumps' review nor a spec comparison, but we get to the essence of the bikes and what different flavours they offer, to help YOU with your buying decisions.
If it's torque you're after; then these 3 Bad Boys have plenty of that!
The new 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 shows its face for the first time before our comprehensive review (coming next week!). The Ol' Man literally fresh from his testride of this motorbike, delves into this comparison review.
Which one is for YOU? Let us know n the comments below!
We have a V-Twin, a Boxer Twin, and a Parallel Twin, and theres a massive price difference between the bikes of course!
What about the Triumph Rocket 3? Listen to the Ol' Mans explanation in the video!

The Ol' Man takes the lovely 2023 Limited edition Triumph Speedmaster Bonneville 1200cc Chrome Edition motorbike for a ride in the picturesque Welsh countryside and talks about some BIG CHANGES for life and the Channel, and some updates and forthcoming videos:
Coming soon are the Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 Review and the Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 Review, but before that, a really interesting comparison between 3 heavyweight cruisers; the BMW R 18, the two Harleys mentioned and the Triumph Speedmaster in this video, AND a new look at the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650!

Modern Classic a Future Classic? Triumph Speedmaster Chrome Edition Motorcycle. Cinematic Review!
We review the new 2023 Triumph Speedmaster Chrome Edition Motorbike. This was our favourite Bonneville until we rode the Triumph Bonneville Scrambler 1200 XC last year, BUT, has the Ol' Man changed his mind?
This review is a little different from our usual reviews, and rather than go into all the specs, we focus entirely on the emotive sentiments of the riding experience, and what the bike feels like. Filmed in spectacular scenery in North Wales, this is a must see video for all motorcycle enthusiasts!
The Ol' Man meets some cows, a horse and eats fish & chips. You can get a very good impression of what this modern classic motorcycle sounds like in this film. Turn up the speakers!
If you have made money, and as a result, have some disposable income, you may look at buying a motorcycle to invest your money in, and if you choose wisely, you may find the right bike that becomes a future classic, and actually, over time, appreciates in value. As we are entering a new era, with electric vehicles becoming more and more prevalent, the choice motorbikes of today, could be the valuable classics of tomorow. You could of course invest in gold, silver, stocks and shares or bonds, but a motorcycle is much more fun!!! This is not financial advice but merely our opinion. Choose wisely!

BSA Gold Star 650. Reborn as a Modern Classic Motorcycle. Does the New Contender Make The Grade?
The Ol’ Man finally gets to ride the BSA Gold Star 650 and gives his honest appraisal of this modern classic motorcycle.
Are you on the fence? Already discounted it? Or have you already taken the plunge and ordered one? This video is for each and every one of you.
This video is sponsored by Bikesure, Motorcycle Insurance. Please click the link here to get a personalised quotation:
https://www.bikesure.co.uk/?utm_source=MrDarcy&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=BikeInf
Rather than a full spec review, we go into the feel of the bike, and whether or not it makes the grade. We’ve already got the Triumph Bonneville range, with the T100 being the closest perhaps, then of course Royal Enfield. Are they in good company with the new BSA Goldstar?
Don’t forget to watch Darcy’s full spec review here - https://youtu.be/HOU0VsNRfuA
And his comparison between the BSA Gold Star and the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650cc here - https://youtu.be/TE1jzIAJV6Y
We are connoisseurs of modern classic motorcycles, cruisers and retro bikes; we're not sports bike or super naked riders, so from us, you will get the perspective of someone who understands this genre of motorcycle.

Honda Dax 125 Review. The Best of Retro - The Swinging 60's Reborn In The Regulatory World of Today
This is our longer review of the Honda Dax ST125 motorcycle.
In this video we cover all the important aspects of this motorbike so you can find out whether its right for you.
Engine, power, torque, feel, gears, centrifugal clutch, ergonomics, styling, handling, brakes and more!
The Ol' Man had one of these, an ST70 in the 1970's so this really brought back some memories!
Is this new incarnation of the original as good? We find out.
There's some great shots of the bike riding in this video, with some lovely scenery. You can really hear what the bike sounds like.
If you want a quick fix; please look at our 5 Minute Review here: https://youtu.be/vQmETyk0Htw
This motorcycle is so economical that surely its the answer to our energy crisis, in terms of transportation, but alas, not in the minds of our gov!

HONDA Hornet REVIEW. Does this CB750 motorbike have a sting in its tail? All rounder or too MENTAL?
The new Honda Hornet CB750 review.
Is this a good allrounder; good for commuting or exploring the backroads, or is it too racy for anything but spirited riding?
We review this middleweight naked bike to find out!
We look at the styling, design, ergonomics, fit for taller riders, comfort, engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, handling and more.
As always, we film in the nicest places although we testride the motorcycle in all different roads; not all of that is filmed because who wants to look at trucks and cars on motorways!
Does this motorbike resonate with The Ol' Man or is it a miss?

HONDA Dax ST 125 Review. 50 Years Since Riding The Original ST70. Is This Reincarnation As Good?
The Ol' Man relives his childhood in this review of the new 2023 Honda Dax ST125.
This is the first part of the Honda Dax Review, in the new 5 Minute Review Format that we are trialling. Let us know if you like the shorter review video. In the Second Part - coming soon, we will go into more detail and visit some interesting places. This gets straight to the point so YOU can decide if this retro motorcycle is right for you.
We have had very heavy snow-cover here in Wales so today, there was a break in the weather after the thaw, and we managed to get this video. As soon as the Ol' Man got back home on the bike, it started sleeting, so the rest was filmed in a barn!
We go into the engine, power, torque, handling, brakes, styling and design, suitability, riding experience and much more! You won't believe the amount of water coming down the road in one of the clips!
The Ol Man had the original Honda ST70 in the 1970's when he was a child, and this motorcycle feels very similar, and even sounds the same!
Have a look on the Honda Website in your country for more details. Here's a link to the UK site: https://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/range/125cc/dax125/overview.html

2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Review | Is this the BEST Lightweight Cruiser Motorcycle!?
In this video I finally get my hands on the NEW Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. I have been very eager to test ride this motorbike and it's safe to say it did not disappoint!
I cover all the important things you need to know before buying this motorcycle. including, Handling, suspension, exhaust, riding position and feel, the emotion of the bike and how it feels to ride, the engine, the characteristics and more. This bike is very different in feel to the Interceptor and Continental GT while maintaining the Royal Enfield feel, Character and soul.
I rode around the lovely countryside in the surrounding area of Cooperbmotorcycles and Santa Pod Raceway. a great place to ride and I definitely recommend checking their dealership out!

First Ride since Accident! Exploring Hidden Places & Using New TomTom Rider 500 on BMW R 18 Cruiser
4 months after an awful accident, where The Ol' Man snapped his quadriceps tendon completely off the kneecap (patella), he goes out on the BMW R18 Cruiser Motorcycle for a first ride since the knee operation, exploring the beautiful backroads of rural Wales in the UK. The idea was to ride wherever he took a fancy, following his nose, and then, using the new Tom Tom Rider 500 SatNav to find his way home. Did it work?
The motorbike has been inside it's Carcoon Motorcycle Bubble for 4 months - how well did that perform keeping condensation off the bike?
On the journey, he passes some lovely old towns, villages and countryside, and ends up in a quaint old church, well off the beaten track.
The ride also served a purpose to test the equipment in readiness for the upcoming motorcycle reviews; good job too because there were a few problems!
We have a look at the BMW R18 and discuss whether it is still any good or not and see some breathtaking scenes.
