    How to Get a New Motorbike and Entire Biking Outfit for £300, and Pre 1980 Motorbikes That are Tax and ULEZ Exempt!

    Thank you to Sizzapp for sponsoring this week's podcast episode. A vehicle tracker with no monthly costs and can be setup in minutes. It's not cheap getting into motorbiking. Passing your test is expensive, motorbikes are often expensive, and riding gear is bib big money too! So I've found a £300 solution for anyone who's passed their test and only has £300 cash to buy a motorbike and full outfit. I then take a look at pre 1980 motorbikes that are tax exempt and also ULEZ (low emissions zone in London) exempt too! Could there be some genuinely cool, useable 1980s bikes that are viable modes of transport? Find me on: www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs www.freddiedobbs.com

    Should We Still Spend Big Money on Petrol Motorbikes With the Internal Combustion Ban Coming, and Yamaha Riders Thoughts on Ownership

    I look into whether it's still sensible to spend big money on petrol powered motorbikes, with the looming ban on internal combustion engines coming. And I go through the results of Yamaha owners' thoughts on their bikes. I also share some insight from Ducati owners, as well as find the ultimate tourer for under £5,000!

    Used Buell Motorcycles- a Brilliant Investment? And a Parts Bin Suzuki that's More than the Sum of its Parts

    I give my weekly motorcycle roundup, the expanding ULEZ (ultra low emissions zone in London), as well as my recent time spent on a Ducati Monster- my first ever ride on a Ducati! And I look into whether I made the right choice eight years ago when I bought a Triumph Speed Triple over a Buell. And I look into a 2018 parts bin special Suzuki that can be found now for around £4,000! Find me on: www.freddiedobbs.com www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs

    A Suzuki that Can Match Harley Davidson- for under £6,000? And the Joy of Cheap Biking!

    I look at the costs of a Royal enfield Meteor and the pure joy of cheap biking. And a bike I saw today and was blown away by- the Suzuki Intruder. This is a bike that can stand up to Harley in the looks and presence departments! And I get a superb insight from a policeman on motorcycle trackers, and superb value alternatives! www.freddiedobbs.com www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs

    Ducati Reliability, Where to Find Great Value Used Ural Motorcycles and a Superb looking £850 Honda!

    I recently did a survey with the hope of finding out if Ducatis are a good used purchase. I asked; Would you class your Ducati as reliable?, and "Would you buy another Ducati?". I had over 500 responses, and the results were eye opening! I look into the Benelli TNT- this seems to be a brilliant mode of transport; fun and rock bottom prices. I then take a look at Ural motorcycles and share some interesting thoughts from a Russian biker o where the brand is heading. I also find some great value Ural on line! And finally- I find my bike of the week. A Japanese workhorse for well under £1,000!

    Spanish Roads, the New Kawasaki Z650RS, and a Used Ducati that's Caught My Eye!

    I chat about my first week riding in Tenerife, and a scary experience I had with brake fade riding down a mountain! And I look at the new Kawasaki Z900RS- a bike that'll rival the Triumph Trident and Royal Enfield Interceptor. I discuss rider safety; is it really necessary to wear full gear if just going to the shops at 30mph- for example? And finally, I take a closer look at a Ducati that's just dipped down to £7.5k and is starting to look quite appealing to me! I hope you enjoy it and happy listening!:) Find me on: www.freddiedobbs.com www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs

    BMW Longevity, the Cost of a Harley Davidson Road King on Finance, and Tenerife Preparations

    I pull together the final list of top 15 highest mileage motorcycles that you've kindly sent in. Some of the results were quite eye opening! There's a new Royal Enfield coming to showrooms in Europe in February 2021, and I gain a new found respect for BMW build quality. And I take a look at how much a Harley Davidson Road King would cost me per month. Find me on: www.freddiedobbs.com www.instagram.com/dob.bs www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs

    A Japanese Muscle Bike from the 2000s, James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 Found in The Middle East, and the Edgiest Biker Hangout in London

    I look into the Yamaha Mt-01; a beast of a bike that never had huge sales success, but has been slowly going up in value in recent years! And Japan's answer to the European modern classics; the highly desirable Kawasaki Z900RS. And of course a weekly roundup and general motorbike related chat! I hope you enjoy!:) www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs www.freddiedobbs.com

    The Royal Enfield Lineup, Used Prices and a Weekly Catch Up

    I take a look at Royal Enfield's current lineup of bikes and look at how the used prices hold up. The Interceptor, Continental GT650, Himalayan and Classic 500 are some of my favourite bikes and I look at the positives and negative of each, and which one I'd choose. I also look at Harley Davidson's new CEO who's shaking up the company, as well as maintenance costs of BMW motorcycles.

    The 2021 Harley Davidson Sportster, Indian Scout and Triumph Speedmaster

    I look into the 2021 Harley Davidson Sportster and compare it to the Triumph Speedmaster and Indian Scout. And I attempt to find some good value "cheap" used versions of each model. I try to find some super value motorcycle gear from one of the sector's most aspirational brands- Belstaff. I hope you enjoy it!:) Find me on: YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs Instagram: www.instagram.com/dob.bs Website: www.freddiedobbs.com

    Good Value Used Off Roading Motorcycles, the Goodwood Festival of Speed and a Chinese Road in Montenegro

    It's been a couple of weeks since my last episode- apologies for the delay! I chat about my current loan bike- a Triumph Street Scrambler, as well as a dreadful off road fail I had on it! I find some cool, light off roading motorcycles for under £3000. I was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week and I was extremely interested in the Fantic Caballero- my first time seeing it in the flesh! And I'd love to hear from BMW motorcycle owners- is it expensive maintaining BMW bikes?
