I head off to the Bike Shed in London, and then make a quick trip to the independent lifestyle store, Bolt.

good spot of luck to stop by Bolt when the Michelin man was making a personal appearance.
Anti-car! Explain more…
What is the bike you are sitting on?
Freddie, may I suggest you some time learning how to repair your own bikes. You will free yourself from the worst side of Biking, the blood sucking experts!, gain your self huge confidence, and you will gain so much more respect from long time bikers. ( If that matters to you ?)
As a side note, I have three bikes, Non have Ever been to the Dealers, and I taught myself how to repair them.
I've never been to the Bike Shed. Nick J
After the trouble with the Bonneville, I think Triumph wouldn't get my money……….in any future purchases ?
I live literally 5 minutes from bikeshed. I am a biker, and i have never been to bikeshed, and to be honest never want to go.
Thiumph should fix your bike free of charge for the time you have been waiting… Kind of ridiculous. Either way as always, great video 👌🏻😎
Credit the DJ great music Freddie🎉
You're far to kind, they have had your bike for months..
Freddie? What cam did you use at 11:40 ? Insta 360?
A few years ago I took a friend to get some new boots. She was also thinking about a helmet so we looked at the range in the shop. My last 2 have been Shoei's, super comfortable and I thionk reasonable value. J&S Accessories was the shop. Bel was a bit shocked at the price of the Shoei's, so looking at the XXXs we asked the guy serving us what he thought? "Everybody who works here has a Shoei" came the reply."I'm pretty sure that speaks volumes" he said.
Brilliant film Freddie I loved both places you visited they set their shops out so well …loved it well done again you 2….
I've been to the Los Angeles Bike Shed Moto Co. But, have to go to the Lobdon location, someday.
Hello, fantastic and relaxing videos, pure style. However, everyone is waiting for the return of the Bonneville, which, I suggest, would look great as a second bike. The mechanical service cannot imagine the audience they are looking at. Could it be, perhaps, the lack of tools? 🤨
Yamaha Tenere’ 700 at Bike Shed, check out Pol Tarre’s properly riding it:-

Great vid Freddie 👍
What is the clip on mic that you use? Always gives great clarity!
Freddie, I really admire your dressing sense and styling. However, could you please make videos showing how you would dress up for a ride when it's raining? Bcz Where I live, rain is quite frequent.
Suprised you didn’t try the Bell Steve McQueen ISDT while you were there Fred.
What's that gorgeous Yamaha at 09:50? Is that based on an XV1000? Can see a chain drive, airbox under the tank and upside-down front forks, so not an XVS. Anyone?
#14.24 the green jacket, what brand is that ?
Lifestyle merchandise is another word for expensive
To multicultural HELL, and back.
nice to see a gaggle of henry 'coles' getting coffee, seven minutes in
Great Video Freddie. What time of day did you get to The Bike Shed to have no traffic?? Last time I was up there the roads were chocker and it was only early afternoon! Good to see around the place and interesting to know there's a Norton section.
Don't like the sound of your Mechanic at all Freddie. He could have told other customers that he had a guy waiting all summer for a part he couldn't get, nor Triumph couldn't get , which left you without a bike for four months .
Failing that, he might have recommended someone else or maybe he wants to hold onto your bike until he runs out of work.
I find this whole Triumph gasket story hard to digest.
Your Mechanic sounds like he's not interested.
You have a trailer, so you can pick the bike up and take it to someone who isn't up to they're neck in work.
With any luck you might be riding the Triumph in a few weeks BUT stay COOL 😎
Must admit, Motorcycles terrify me which is one reason I feel I should face that fear.
But the aesthetic of everything bike related is fantastic.
Recently subscribed. Fantastic vlogs you make very entertaining. Just recently got my first triumph a 2017 T100 and absolutely love it. keep the vlogs coming
That’s awesome!
A police bike in bike shed? Not seen one in there before. Thanks for the awesome vid again Freddie 😊
That bike shed place looks like my kind of place. Looks awesome 😎
Freddie, another fab bit of content….thanks fella…
Miss my Buell. Love my RnineT/5. And if I ever get another new bike I would love it to be a Norton as one of my top choices.
THANK YOU!!!
I have seen many well known bike channels review this bike.
And i want one.
BUT this is the first vid I've seen to home in on and show all those excruciatingly delicious design details!!!
Now i NEED one.
After many long months,
American & German himans FINALLY source a part for…
a MODERN Brit bike,
Owned by a Brit
In Britain
There really are NO WORDS for how utterly crap that is!
Man, I wish we had a place like that in the States!
Eh up Freddie, blimey the Street Scrambler! Remember when you did some clearance work for the Forestry Commission! Happy Days!! Magic Videos! Cheers Graham.
Freddie, in Newcastle upon Tyne we had everything motorcycling in one place…..Westgate Road (The Hill) . Sadly COVID has seen the death of that venue.
Freddie…. with that jacket you should be riding a horse not a motorcycle…. holy crap !
Lovely video Freddie, and an enlightening insight regarding London's roads with significantly fewer cars.
I have to ask, why were you in discomfort for most of the ride into London?
Cheers Freddie, what day of the week is best to visit bikeshed if you want it to be nice and quiet.? Thanks
