It’s not as comfortable as a Harley 
Just for Arsey . It’s Darcy and the old man reviewing the Goldwing

Yeah but what about Darcy and the Ol’man ?
Arsey is grand, those two are vile cowardly human beings I have had dealings with them in the past.
Clueless tosspots.
A fairly pointed view. I quite like their delivery myself, what was it that coloured your opinion?

Tell more.. I reckon they are a bit 'odd'
Do tell Mike
When we first started the channel, I did things properly. I went around all the dealers, met the dealer principals face‑to‑face, took a portfolio of my work, explained what I wanted to do, and made it clear that I’d always run videos past them before publishing. I tried to be as professional as possible.
I went to A&D and spoke to Sally, the DP. She was perfectly happy for us to work with them. She did mention that Mr D and the Old Man had contacted her, but she was put off by their attitude — basically “lend us a bike, we’re a fantastic channel, you need us if you want to sell bikes,” that sort of thing.
Over the next year we reviewed a few bikes, including the first V7 850 vs Continental GT comparison, where we were honest about the pros and cons.
Then, while I was on a Euro trip with the lads, a mate back home sent me a video from Mr D and the Old Man. It was a full‑on rant about Moto Guzzi being “stupid” for not loaning them a bike and instead giving it to “an insignificant channel of know‑nothing geeks.” They compared their figures to ours, showed pictures of us, slagged us off, and even accused A&D of being a terrible dealership that was paying us for favourable reviews. They also said Moto Guzzi should deliver them a bike with a full tank and to use it for as long as they wanted.
I messaged them asking for a chat — they deleted the comment.
I messaged again, saying surely we could work together, especially as we were both in North Wales at the time — deleted again.
I asked them to take the video down because it was unfair and full of lies — deleted.
I emailed them multiple times — no response.
I spoke to Sally, who was really upset. I felt awful that A&D had been dragged into it. I wasn’t bothered about our channel — it’s just a hobby — but I hated seeing a great dealer being bad‑mouthed.
Moto Guzzi were made aware of the situation.Eventually we said that if the video wasn’t removed, legal action would follow. Within half an hour, it was gone.
Not once have I had a single communication from that cowardly pair.
Maybe this is a bit of karma. Some of you might remember the issues and warranty claim on the younger one’s V7… perhaps Moto Guzzi has a longer memory than they do.
It’s a shame, really. We were prepared to work with them, even alongside them.
In my eyes, though, the pair of them are pond scum, and without a shadow of doubt love themselves.
Sorry for the rant it still pisses me off every time I see them

The dog-eat-dog cutthroat world of YouTube channels
Me? I’d rather watch the Lemon Drizzle Cake’rs. In fact it’s the only channel I watch on anything like a regular basis…. Other than ‘The forgotten sounds of race engines’ which, I guess, is a bit niche.

They are no longer on my Christmas card list
Why would I want those two toffee nosed clowns telling me that the bike I’ve owned for three years is ok but not as good as a Harley ?It’s not as comfortable as a Harley
I’m assuming that’ll be the gist of it .
I’ve watched a few of their vids and always found their opinions somewhat slanted and biased .
But I switched off for good when they stated they hated adventure bikes but tried a Vstrom 800 DE anyway and then slagged it off for not having the torque of a Harley 117 . Strange-you’d think they be similar , despite the Harley having over a1000cc more .
Couple of cockwombles.
I bet Darcy was bullied at school , ignorant plummy cúnt

At last we agree on something?! lolWhy would I want those two toffee nosed clowns telling me that the bike I’ve owned for three years is ok but not as good as a Harley ?
