  • wow what an experience Peter !

  • Was Peter Smoking?!?!

  • Go, Peter, GO! Congratulations! We all adore you!

  • nice to see you getting the chance to enjoy a harley

    please listen to the folks on here telling you to quit smoking

    i smoked for 20 years and quit in a week

  • Peter! SMoking is a bad habbit that i wouldnt wish upon anyone, please for your 50,000+ suscribers stop that dirty habbit and live your life with healthy lungs :(

  • Uh oh. I didn't know you were a smoker, Peter! Well, congratulations on defying the odds and living past 70 despite this habit... but I do wish you would stop. Sorry, I just had to put that out there. I care about you so much. (Both my parents died from smoking-related diseases, so this issue means a lot to me.)

  • Absolutely splendid Peter,now get some hells angels on board! CAN-DO!!!!!!

  • Absolutely fantastic! What was your preference as a dealer? Did you ride Indians? I always remember the guys who would ride the insides of these giant barrels in Indian motorcycles. Wonderful bikes.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the footage. I found it in my related videos box. Its so nice to find a fellow harley fan! thanks :)

  • It does the heart good to see this great video.

  • Way to go Peter! Looks like you enjoyed the ride as much as I enjoyed this video!!

  • Good ride, good speech... Way to go!

  • Good for you, Peter! Thanks for sharing!

  • Good Girl Nika! Good To see Mr. Pete finally get a ride on a Harley! And so good of the Chapter, and Dealership. Well done.

  • Hi Dear Drvrdug, thank you very much! :D Peter has given YouTube and his fans so much over the years, that I along with FSTOPDR & Heybeeg wanted to give something BACK to Geriatric1927! And he certainly enjoyed this Harley moment! The Manchester HOG Chapter & the Dealership owner were wonderful! A GREAT time was had by all! Nnek@ ;o) x

  • If you enjoyed your stay at that meeting and your ride only half as much as I enjoyed watching this video, then you had the best of days :-)! That was stunning. And I must say: A motorbike really suits you, Peter :-)!

    Kudos to Nneka1963 and to her fellow "conspirators" for this this lovely idea.

  • Thank you very much Dear Truedantalion!

    You can see more of Peter's Harley moment on the attached video response above.

    Nnek@ ;o) x

  • Thank you for this reply, Nnekea ... oder darf ich auch sagen: Dankeschön für die Antwort? Ab und zu muss ich auch mal wieder Deutsch schreiben, obwohl ich auf YouTube eigentlich meine Muttersprache ja nie verwende :-) ...

    I will take a look at your video right now - can't wait :-)

  • Hi lieber Truedantalion! You are more then welcome!!! I hope that you like the other videos I did our my Mum's and my visit to Peter's!!!

    Ganz lieber Grüsse,

    Nnek@ ;o) x

  • Yes, I saw at least one of them, and enjoyed it VERY much :-) ...

    ... oh, but ... *blush* ... We are spammig the comments on Peter's video here with off topic chit-chat ... I've got a better idea ... Done! Clicking that golden button on your channel was so easy :-)!

  • Wonderful!! Peter, I'm so glad you were able to do this!!!

  • I rode a Matchless 500, a BMW R69S. Now I want to ride a Hog. What fun and big noise! Thanks Peter. Glad your wish came true!

  • Cool :)

  • very nice vid...

    lol'ed at the leg over joke

    and you were smoking...cool!

  • Woo hoo I'm so glad you got your Harley ride!! Those are some beautiful bikes.

  • Hee hee... I enjoyed this. Seemed a bit odd to me, hearing Brit accents over the Harley roar... but they were all the same as the fellows I've known over on this side of the pond. (Still grinning) Grand folks with generous spirits.

  • Peter, this brought a tear to my eye. Watching you videos I was always aware of your dream to ride a Harley Davidson, especially when you talk about your funeral. I hope you had an amazing time. All the best, Ant. x

  • Great video Peter!

  • Peter ... you smoke ... oh no ...

    But hey, you look like a sporty grandpa to me.

    You just jumped on that motorcycle like a young lad. Respect! You are however such a kind man. Thank you for being here on youtube. You enrich this place so much! So Peter has been a HD dealer all his life? Or has he been a different kind of dealer?

  • Awesome ride !!!

  • Waheyy!! nice one, looks like a day well spent

  • Brilliant!!  Looks like you had a ball!!

  • Great Vid Peter. Hats off to the Hatters Chapter for hosting him.

  • he rehearses the first part sipping the cup of tea lol

  • @ TONKSRED300, Peter only did that for ME as I had bought him that Manchester Harley Mug as a present on the day!

    Nnek@ ;o)

  • Awesome, glad you got your ride in Peter, and a big hats off to the folks who organized it for you.

  • Wonderful job, Peter!! I'm so glad you were able to enjoy the awesome ride on a Harley!!

  • nice video Peter! i bet you did have a great time on that ride. stay happy!

  • Lucky you, Peter! Hope you had a great time there :)

  • I hope you had a awesome ride on that bike.

  • Great fun, Peter! It looks like it was a wonderful day, and a bit of a thrill remembering what it feels like.

    Thanks for making us a part of it.

  • Great video Peter, I've always loved Harley Davidson's and now when I can afford one I will now were to go thanks Peter.

  • 30 thousand pounds or 13,000 either way thats about either 60US or 26US thousand. which is insane. i don't think they're that expensive here in the US

  • @ Futbolplaya07, Yes, that Harley was GBP 30.000.00!!! An expensive hobby indeed but a GREAT one! ;o)

  • thats insane. the most expensive one here in the US is is $25,000 and they're custom. but the one that isn't is a touring and thats $17,000. not far from 30 in the UK, probably just the same as why lamborghini's and ferraris are more expensive in the US than europe.

  • I am so exited that you got to go on one :D

    Looks amazing ^^

  • so happy this happened for you.

  • Fabulous video Peter, glad you enjoyed your day, and 5 ***** to your friends who organised it for you, well done, Iv'e been to that place many times myself in the past

  • lol youre so cool!! (:

  • i am so pleased that you "put a leg over" a harley. outstanding!

  • Thanks!

  • good to see another great video from you, 5 stars again from me

  • What a nice video, and a nice thing for Nneka, Patty and Dave to do for you.

  • Great stuff! There's nothing like a Harley, and the Harley folk are the nicest bikers around!

  • It's good to be young again... this is what you're supposed to feel when you ride a Harley. :-) Cheers!

  • Wow - that made me smile - you go Grandad!!

  • Nice one!

  • "Hell's Geriatrics"

  • Very good!

  • wow! that's lovely! thanks for sharing!

  • Awesome

  • That was an amazing video; thanks for putting it on Youtube.

  • was that a cigarette i saw in your hand? or was i making that up? :S

  • i don't know that people smoking really need to be questioned. they know entirely what they are doing.

  • I love the sound of a bunch of Harley's getting ready for a run. It's soooo thrilling! Glad you got to ride Peter! =D

  • well wasn't that fun. Wish we had a tape of the whole run

  • just awesome sir.

  • What a fun experience for you! Great video! Bless you.

  • I just knew you would be riding a Harley soon! Not bad, not bad at all!

  • thanks peter for sharing such an amazing experience with everyone. I now cannot get the song Harley Davidson by bridgette bardot out of my head. I love that song. it definately looks like a blast riding those bikes, take care.

  • Awesome:)

  • Never too old to rock and roll!...I have to say tho that those guys would be drooling over the enfields & vincents you were riding when you had your shop...still nothing beats a harley ...unless you can find an old indian!

  • "I'm not frightened of anything" Oh I just love you Peter!

  • Love seeing you in a T-shirt!!! HANDSOME! :O)

  • Oh lovely. Even if it was named after that horrible man! I'm so glad you got to go. Congrats.

  • Well Peter, you look right at home in the saddle. I think it's great that this was arranged for you. Never ridden a hog before, eh? So, how do you like the American iron?

  • Peter, that was outstanding!! The Manchester Chapter of Harley Davidson is a class act - what a great group of people!!!!

    I'm thrilled you had great weather, a great ride and a great time!! What fun it was to watch this video!

    The Hatters Chapter ROCKS!!!!

  • That was a great video, and that looks really fun!

  • Way cool. Have fun and be safe.

  • PETER!  Are you SMOKING????

  • Yeah - He thought he'd make a big political fuss about it. Geez, people today.

  • I was equally ashamed :(

  • That's what I thought! Is he?

  • Great video Peter. Keep it up.

  • Too bad you didn't have someone filming you while riding. Great vid.

  • So glad you got your harley ride Peter...as they say about riding a bike once you have masted it you never forget....you did very well getting your leg up over like you had just done it yesterday...lol

  • What a fantastic day out, Peter. I am so envious. I would love to own a Harley, but my pension would not stretch to it, so I must be content with my scooter. Maybe I'll get round to hiring one for a day, but even that is expensive, and I might be barred from insurance at 68.

  • damn peter are you puffing cigs

  • Wonderful! What fun for you Peter. Nice people at the dealership!

  • Peter, you look HOT in that t-shirt! If you're ever in Wisconsin, I am about an hour's drive from the home of Harley-Davidson...

  • Arrghhh I just posted a comment but I don't think it posted.. Anyway, amazing video Peter and I can imagine how delighted you must have been having a ride on a Harley. It made me laugh when you said "I haven't had my leg over for a long time" LOL, also thanks to Nneka for filming this and arranging it :)

  • Hi Andyc18! I personally wanted to give something to BACK to Peter, what he has given "US" over the years, we laughed, we cried and Peter is such a wonderful person to know! We, my Mum, Peter and I, ALWAYS have a laugh!!! I am so glad that Peter has a BRILLIANT time yesterday and he didn't have to wait until he died to appreciate it!!! *LOL*

    Nnek@ ;o) x

  • Wtf was he going with the coffee cup in the beginning?

  • @ 1alex1pccom This was my present to Peter a "Harley Davidson Manchester Charter Club" Mug!

  • Wow! Sitting on the backseat of a Harley Davidson... I'm not a motorbike enthusiast at all, but that would be exciting even for me. My compliments go to Nneka for that deliberate wonderful idea! True friends are priceless.

    Best wishes from Germany!

  • Thanx a million Dear Fuertherbube for your lovely compliment!!! :D

    Nnek@ ;o) xxx

  • How wonderful, Peter. In my college days, I spent a lot of time on the back of bike with my boyfriend, riding up and down the hills of San Francisco. Great fun.

  • I'm so pleased for you, Peter!

  • awesome, sir!!! *LOL* i love you

  • been trying to tell my italian husband how awesome harleys are...he is not impressed..but then he knows vespas *LOL* to quote Eddie Izzard "Ciao!"

  • nice job Peter!

  • how did you like the ride?

  • You don't ride yourself anymore, Peter?

  • Awesome, simply awesome. The sense of excitement and sheer happiness is just overwhelming. So happy that you could experience this and I hope one day to do the same. I just love motorbikes, my uncle took me on a ride once (not a Harley, but It's still one of my fondest memories) and the sense of freedom and community when riding one (all the bikers you come across wave at you) is just amazing.

    Thanks for this great video, I hope to see many more.

    Matty

  • my dad has a 1976 Harley FLH electra glide, and it is fun as heck to ride.

    I myself have a 1971 Honda CB175, but thats due to paying for college and cant afford much more :S

    I'll get a sportster after college :P

  • you timed the cup in the begin.

  • I grinned the whole way thru this video! I am so glad you got to have that experience its the best yes? I am just wondering how long until the Prius is sold and the Harley is parked in it's place? Ha ha! I'm tickled to death you finally got to ride one there's just something "special" about a Harley.

  • Fantastic! Very happy for you :)

  • Awesome dude!

  • Thats just outside my house in Stockport!!! :)

  • that looked fun peter, i used to love riding on my dads harley when i was little, he'd drive us up to the mountain and we'd then fish, brings back memories :P

  • Oh my goodness. Geriatric was in stockport! I live near there :D

  • Brilliant video mate. really did enjoy that and hope you had a brilliant day!!

  • Time to get a Sportster Grand-dad!

  • peter, that looked so fun!

  • Loving it! So, when are you getting your new wheels? :)

  • That was great Peter. I love motorcycles!

    You made me laugh when you said ''It's been a while since I got my leg over''. LOL so funny!

  • Wow - looks good !

  • What a nice group to ride with!

  • excellent video :)

  • Auw do you smoke? Thats not very healthy! Glad you enjoyed the Harley experience my uncle has always has had harleys, but always driven junk cars. Rather spends his money on a harley!

  • The man is 82 years old - If he's made it this far smoking all the power to him!

  • You only live life once! i say you should enjoy it as much when your peter's age as when you are in your teens which peter obviosly is!!
