We attended the Bike Shed Moto Show this year for the first time ever! We were blown away by the incredible array of custom, classic, and concept bikes on display. Including two new Ducati Scrambler concepts! Norton also unveiled their new one of one custom paint job scheme but it comes at a price tag!
What is your favourite bike of the show?
We also meet a few other motorcycle channels and motovloggers including Freddie Dobbs, Courtney Scarlet, Harvey Rides Bikes (we don’t reveal him!), Mancave Moto & Username Kate to mention but a few.

we’re in London at the London 2024 Moto show bike [ __ ] Moto show something like that something like that something like that sound like we’ve been drinking yeah we’re not drinking we’ve come all the way on the train today cuz too far on the bikes and uh and it’s bling boiling it’s pressed I’m so hot I’ve seen more people in the last minute than I’ve seen in the entire 3 years that I’ve lived in Wales so it’s a bit of a shock to me but there’s some beautiful motor bikes amazing bikes and we’ve met the very nice Freddy dobs and Courtney scarlet and US name Kate who else have we met loads of people so uh let’s have a look that’s some bikes absolutely the you figure it out on the top no on the on there now you’re go through hold it closer there you go [Music] [Music] that’s lovely that V some black shadow that’s nice Cy I’ve never seen one of those no gear shifter on the right yeah that look at the analog D look at that oh my God that’s a work of heart that is beautiful proper mud guards look see they made by properly in the old days yeah look at that built in Ste stevenage see that on the wide angle there wow look at that that one’s gone Rusty yeah old Indian look like a isn’t bicycle wheels look I think put a candle in there yeah you do you you put a candle in there you light it it’s like that Norton I saw oh look look at that Bruff Superior nice Bruff Superior well okay yeah they still are aren’t they yeah they are we have to get a hold get hold on yeah this uh Royal en look recognize that engine yeah that’s the new CL me look at that that is incredible nice side car there that’s a great idea isn’t it yeah you got a scared passenger or a dog yeah that’s the perfect part it’s brilliant isn’t it oh that beauty I think I would not have kept the uh new diet on it and put an old classic one on there but what a remarkable thing I’m going to gate Crush Freddy’s video now [Music] just the so we do all the right things here so it’s fantastic actually uh luckily we’re here on the Press day and it’s not that many people here so we can get around and seal the bikes really quickly apparently is absolutely so it’s come tomorrow so we’ve been invited by Norton here haven’t we and they’ve got not a new bike but a new scheme where you can paint the bike exactly how you want it but it doesn’t come cheap so let’s have a [Music] look here we go this’s one that they’ve done now this bike is 44,000 as standard and then with this custom paint job this particular one £64,000 so it’s definitely not aimed at the average consumer is it no and imagine it so fast it would frighten the life over your very nice bike very beautiful it’s beautiful isn’t it actually as far as Sports spikes go yeah it’s a pretty one I like that as well Gate Crash username Kate’s video hell hello so we’re all here at Norton waiting for this big reveal um which show but very nice what’s going on in here then we’re in the DU catti area now they’re going to launch a new bike or maybe two I have no idea what they are they’re all covered up with some black I think they C Scramblers are yeah go a bit nearer see if we can see me yeah that’s a Bea look at that stunner going to get copyrighted turn the ACDC off d [Music] what do we think of that then yeah I like the first one better I like the um the headlight yeah not uncomfortable bikes but it does look nice the other one just looks a bit more doesn’t look like a though does it no it doesn’t shows you what you can do with as a BAS very nice yeah I think this show is all about bikes that you can modify isn’t it absolutely make it your own it’s all about we haven’t been in this one hav [Music] no if you remember the smell of castrar comment below because in the old days scramble boxs used to put that in the uh pet they mix a little bit in the tank and it smells lovely and it obviously lubricates the engine but that smell you used to get it’s wonderful that is really how adventure bike should be looking in my opinion so let us know on that one because um there’s nothing wrong with the old school design I think they look really fantastic now we’re just looking at these uh BMWs here 1980 BMW r00 RS those bites customized nicely beautiful bikes uh but we were just remarking on the uh black and silver number plates of course they’re absolutely stunning to look at functional not too big um so what we want to know is if you’ve got one of those number plates on your bike have you ever been pulled up by the police um or do you get away with it cuz we’d really like to put one on our bikes because they look so nice and the silly yellow things you have to have on the back just don’t to go with a nice looking bike do they [Music] that is nice look at that sh 1940 wow wow I’d be happy driving that around stunning don’t think you’d be able to fit in it know but does look nice isn’t ites why don’t they make cars look nice anymore so really love that paint drob it’s cool that make a nice tattoo isn’t it yeah dirty cats good I do like dirty cats I love that sty of see yeah it’s lovely it’s stunny isn’t it yeah I was r18 it’s r1250r no yeah Ro it’s unre unrecognizable is that is nice that is incredible Space Age isn’t it but also classic yeah it’s got it all isn’t it that is a head turner very nice look at that look at that that’s nice that 1976 Honda CB 550 oh my God abely I love these old engines they’re lovely beautiful engines they look lovely and they sound lovely I wish Honda would make more modern classic retro bikes that looked like this because they don’t do anything like that anymore it’s all pointy things if they made some more bikes like this I think they’d sell very well I think it’s time for a change I think we at that point now where manufacturers should see what the custom Builders are doing and then try and do something on that lines bring back those style of bikes clearly there’s a market for it and yeah totally I think we should go back to Classic beautiful design cuz look at that that is stunning that’s something is yeah what is that it’s very short konski 1982 cowasaki kz440 customized very nice that’s really something very original isn’t it yeah he’s a bit worse for w isn’t he yeah yeah beautiful isn’t it proper handlebars nice narrow tanks lovely yeah stunning I love this sort of thing Wonder trail bike needs to make a comeback really not who do you ever hear people saying trail bike no it’s not adventure bike isn’t it or I know something else but trail bikes are the thing they’re lovely yeah what a beauty this one beautiful Yamaha and Juro 360 a proper trail bike absolutely lovely old school amazing condition that’s beautiful and these again talking about Aventure bikes this these are fantastic that you don’t get them here anymore because of emissions but the XL I think it’s an XL 650 beautiful mwes like that do you know the wi beautiful isn’t it they would sell so well it’s like an obvious thing isn’t it film that and it will sell but no one is doing I know I don’t get it I don’t get it what about you anything anything catches your eye they’re also nice aren’t they they’re all nice [Music] he

Someone should make an aftershave that smells like Castrol R.
I'm with you D'Arcy Honda need to bring back the CB 500 and CB 750 with a new 4 cylinder engine. I did have the 1100 air cooled version, a few years back, but it was very heavy with a front brake at best you could call keen, at worse, vicious.
Hi yes 2stroke oil best smells ever I use to go scrambling back in the seventies and eighties all scramble season he rode with Dave Thorpe most wkends in the season but early seventies I think it was belray oils came over I think from America incorrect me if I’m wrong great video seeing bikes you wouldn’t see hardly on the road hope you had a good train journey home
Enjoyed the vicarious pleasure of your walk around and comments. My 2010 Enfield has a nice black and white plate beginning R500 which is really nice but I had to put a black and yellow one over it to be legal and also to get through the MOT.
Definitely loved the smell of Castrol R and two stroke machines
My meteor has been wearing a small, black and silver plate for the last two years. Looks proper and never yet been pulled for it.
I have enjoyed the rise of this channel. Father and son tandem makes it unique. Great to see you mix it up with Freddie, hope you guys can do a crossover episode in the future
I use castrol R on a rag to cleam my 2003 Harley and she smells geogous when warm !
You and your dad make a great team and what a proper gent the old man is,I totally agree we need some old skool styling I had a yamaha SR500 a super moto style? What about the royal enfield woodsman based on the old style trial bikes and the 4 cylinder hondas,400/4 750/4 proper looking bikes.oh and I've subscribed.
What a great bike show and great looking venue. Wish I could have gone and seen it.
Excellent video, what a great bike show. Old Man is one super cool dude too 😎
Like mountain bikes now no front mudguard. How stupid is that ?
I’d think most cops aren’t aware of the number plate rules anymore. The knowledge of proper traffic patrol is sadly dieing out.
Umm, Castrol R, love it!
I'd be curious of your guys thoughts on the yamaha scr 950
I'm so glad that motorcycle manufacturers recognise that retro style motorcycles are still very much desired just as much as sports bikes and adventure bikes. Ducati has a huge hit on their hands if they bring them both to market as they are now
Great walk through guys… so far I’ve managed a year with a black/white number plate here in Wales without being pulled over.
Ive been riding for quite a long time already,and last year for a week i had to take the train to work because my bike was in the repair shop. I remembered thinking "HOW DO I USE THIS BLOODY CARD TO MAKE THE GATE OPEN-". Embarassingly i had to ask the train staff for help,and she asked if i was a tourist🤣. I haven't taken public transport for so long,never been clueless about anything before
If you didn't even like bikes these two have an absolutely brilliant father and son relationship that no bike or money can substitute. Well done from Paul in Ireland 🇮🇪
You don't put a candle in there it's carbide, I've just sold one, school report =could do better
Just beautiful bikes!
