It was 46 years ago, as a young paratrooper from Belgium I bought my first BMW 800/7, crossed the Channel with an Ostend ferry and via Dover head up to London, went to the Marquee Club every night and bought my first pair of Barbour international jacket & trousers; then, three years later, showed up in a stripped down Land Rover Minerva to meet our pals from 21 and when 20 years later, I read my Masters at King's (War Studies), walked the streets around Covent Garden, every day, going to my student studio at the Lilian Pension Hall in front of Paddington. My love for London started when I was ten, coming from Belgium and spending a glorious summer in Kensington going out discovering the fascinating capital of the world. Great videos these last weeks, Freddy. greetings from Tripoli, Libya befoore I return home, Emmanuel, the Forty Eight rider

Excellent video, don't think twice about professional or not, it's simply good viewing. Like most places if you look for the good things you will find them and London has loads. Sure it has some 'new' bad parts caused by speed bumps and 20mph limits, but the many good parts over-ride the bad if you let it. Always remember my first Belstaff leather jacket, always been an 'Ogri' and 'bloodrunners' biker since the age of 16 over 49 years ago. 'Stuff everything as long as I've got me bike'.

I absolutely love London. Your comment about the crime level in London. I think people say that about all major cities, when in reality. If you stay out of the known bad areas all major cities are really enjoyable places to be. Im taking a road trip on a Gold Wing in a few days that will put me in NYC for a long weekend. Can’t wait.

@@lesterthorpe4190 good to hear. I was working nearby for the Tideway project and was visiting the place many times. It’s a unique industrial building, one of my favourites in London. It’s the building with the most bricks in Europe. It also has strong ties with the seventies as it was used for the cover of the album Animals by the Pink Floyd. And Norton was a very active brand in the seventies. The nearby buildings are also very nice, one block of flats was designed by Frank Gehry, who’s a very famous architect. The arches under the train are also cool with nice bars and restaurants. When Tideway is finished, the Thames path will be continuous and the area will be one of the nicest in London.

London sure has changed in the last 60 years ago. Those Covent Garden pubs used to have early motning opening hours to cater for the market porters. You could get a drink and a feed there at 4 in the morning which was really handy when you'd been out all night and were heading back to Uni. Good point about the "famous" bikes. How many have seen in the wild the original models of the Norton Commando, Vincent Black Shadow, Brough Superior, Ariel 4, etc. let alone ridden them. As the original Greasers die off it'll be less and less.

Hi, Freddie & Monica, really enjoyed the tour of London. Would love to cross the pond and look around. Someday. Belstaff is obviously improving their women's riding gear. I'll have to check it out. Wondering if you have ever done a video with the Motolegends folks at their shop in Guildford where they serve you cookies--um, sorry--biscuits and tea while you wait for their personal shopper customer service. I bet that would be fun. Nothing like that here. Sadly, it's tough to find any quality brick-and-mortar motorcycle apparel shops in the US. Maybe southern California or New York. We have Cycle Gear and a couple Revzilla shops, but that's about it. Very plain & basic. There are no shops in small tourist towns. That's long in the past here. You're so lucky to have all those little custom shops which you've filmed so well. Thanks for the videos!

Had to laugh when Plod pulled up. I should have known they'd be admiring the Norton. London looks like a nightmare to ride in these days, the taxis still never give you enough room, and the 20MPH has killed any possible enjoyment. We used to pull wheelies across Chelsea Bridge back in the day, thousands of bikes pulling in on a Friday night. Wonderful days, racing in on the M4, through Earls Court and along to the Bridge. Now The Embankment is restricted to 20MPH. And yes, it's still a beautiful City despite some problems. Impressed with the new Belstaff jackets.

Nice film, you made me nostalgic for London where I lived for 30-years, commuting by m/bike. I suspect you made this film early on a Saturday because the streets are seldom so empty. Back here in North Wales it's very different, no architecture to speak of, but great riding roads. Surprisingly at least one fella owns a Norton, he parked it next to my RT outside a biker's cafe last week. Nice enough, but if that kind of thing turned my crank I think I'd get one of the originals.My summer jacket is brown, made by RST. It says "Classic Collection" on the tag and has a TT logo on the back. I've had it maybe seven years and I love it. Much cheaper than the stuff you were looking at and it's proving v durable. I bought it from the RST factory shop in the midlands - near Triumph.

It was a bit looser, so for me was a much nicer fit than the Brooklands, and it’s nice to have a bit more length should it rain. It’s a bit lighter as well and I have worn it on these recent hot days and not been too hot yet. Amazing quality I feel and although expensive I feel like everything is, worth it I feel - AA safety and fully waterproof

Freddie your comment about not seeing Nortons out and about, there was a bike meet today at Blackmore in Essex, not sure who organised but there were many Nortons rolling in, on a cycle myself, but was ana amazing sight.

Morning Freddie, I said the same thing as you, I bought the 10oz Trailmaster Pro 2 months ago, and to help myself buy it, I said to myself, " it'll be a jacket for life"! I'm really glad I did, I love the jacket.

Belstaff stuff does last for a long time. Top quality kit. Also nice to not always be in black.

I bought a Belstaff Trialmaster with my first pay cheque in ‘79 and had dirty collars ever after. They were made in Stoke in those days. I can’t make myself believe Belstaff could ever be fashionable ( or properly waterproof for all-day rain). I guess I’ve got old . And as for the Commando… more old git talk, I walked past the window of Reg Dearden’s in Chorlton-cum-Hardy hundreds of times and lusted after the ‘run out’ ‘76 silver Commandos ( about £600…… may as well have been a £million) …… ah well the Jawa was ok!

I love the Norton - it was a bike of dreams when I was a yobo biking youth in 70s - very pretty and I actually think the peg and handle bar set up makes the riders look “cooler” albeit probably not comfortable. I am a failed KZfaqr and presently in the Namib Desert on my KTM watching this by a random 4 G mast. I notice a few motorcycle bloggers use the 360 cameras and I personally don’t like the footage - it’s gimmicky for a while like a hall of mirrors at a fun fair . Far prefer the standard images from iPhone and don’t think I’ll use action cameras again. Sound is extremely important and successful bloggers like Freddie have the right set up. Lots of admiration for Freddie and Monica’s filming, narration and editing.

Totally agree regarding the 360 cameras, hate the distortion!

No issues with the filming Freddie and London is quite fast paced but a bit overwhelming with the amount of people. I must say the Belfast jacket's do look very well made, not cheap but then again, I guess you often get what yo pay for. 😎

Great video Freddie and a great vibe from your visit to central London. I would love to make a trip to the capital on my bike but being a cornish country chap, it fills me with dread. Not the riding necessarily, but the nervous feeling id get on where to park, remembering to consider and pay for ULEZ and of course, the crime aspect. But its a trip that i will make one day nonetheless.
