Two Royal Enfield's & The Voice Of Experience - Royal Enfield Classic 350 & Classic 500 On Dartmoor

Two Royal Enfield's & The Voice Of Experience - Royal Enfield Classic 350 & Classic 500 On Dartmoor

Time stamps further down.


This for me, was a very memorable day.

John and I had been planning to meet for months. Something always came up and it seemed like it would never happen. But eventually, the stars were aligned. He had just purchased a new Royal Enfield Classic 350 in red and chrome, a very pretty bike indeed. I rode Ernie, the Royal Enfield Classic 500 to meet with him in Tavistock.

The sun shone brightly, and we enjoyed a rather splendid ride over Dartmoor. We stopped at 'The Old Police Station Cafe' for lunch. We then stopped at Bellever for a chat, and again at Widecombe In The Moor for toasted teacakes and coffee. I recorded our chat and it plays in three parts during the video.

I didn't mention in the video that I was slightly concerned about riding with a gentleman of John's age. At 85, without wishing to cause offence, many people are quite doddery. I can say whole heartedly that John's riding was exemplary. Right from the off, all of my concerns diminished.

Thank you John, for a lovely day on bikes. It was an honour and privilege. Until next time......

Onto Franky's World and the gateway view, trading for a wonderful/glorious barn. If you wish to know if he honours our agreement, his channel can be found here:

Franky rides a lovely Royal Enfield classic 500 Pegasus edition. He has a great sense of humour and you might well enjoy his videos.

I also mention Economical Rides during the video. He rides a Royal Enfield Meteor and a Royal Enfield Classic 350. His channel is very informative and he is a very likeable character. You can find his channel here:
