My sentiments exactly, i will ride until i can't throw my leg over, then i'll buy a three wheeler, motorcycling once it gets in your blood is nearly impossible to leave off of, i ride nearly every day including in winter if rods are clean & temperature is somewhere near reasonable, at 76 yrs young, my bikes are the love of my life. Corny maybe, but when i'm out riding, all troubles just seem to fade into non existence. Thanks for your videos, most enjoyable, ric, ontario canada, i wish these greenies would just p--- off & let us just get on with living our lives in peace.

It would be interesting to see the inside of the church. My experience of Road Runners in the 70's was that, although they had good adherence, they wore out very quickly. Maybe they've improved by now,

Suffolk, I thought there was a hint of Bernard Miles about your accent.

That bit of Essex looks lovely And not a white stiletto in sight All the best

Beautiful bike VB, I would love a bike like that in my stable.

would bin easier to take the filter out while the cover was still fixed in place, 🙂

Just watching your film about the air base and about the longest runway, Where I am (Warrington, Cheshire) is I believe (well was I should say) the biggest American air base outside of the USA (Burtonwood) during WW2, I lived not too far away, as kids we use to go over to take a look, but we couldn't get in, GI guards on the gate.

Would you consider going with bar end mirrors? I have trouble seeing around my shoulders.

hi ardie here northern ireland, recently bought classic 500 reg 2021 450 miles be interested in your chain adjustment procedure, as i read people have problems with it, i will get steel rule out and go from swing arm axle and measure when time comes, what about you great channel

Will you be doing a video showing you changing the oil pump drive?

Great story sir!

Great stuff thanks for sharing

🤣🤣 best stories ever you!

My old Indian built 350 Bullet , pre royal, the g,box case was so poorly cast sections of it were porous. My opinion, worthless, the grease was a bodge to compensate for poor sealing faces. Even with 'sealing grease' the lube mix, grease and oil , would still leak when it got warm. I added a breather through fill plug. Helped a lot but never totally fixed that leak. I enjoy your vids.

I like it, seat looks comfy, can add a seat on the fender for females, always a good idea 💡

I've got three 500s, two UCEs and my trusty old iron barrel. Question for you Dave....is it worth replacing the OEM silencer on the UCE 500s, or are there advantages to keeping it? I'd be curious to know your perspective.

Beautiful machine

Good review 👍 I prefer older one 👍

What a day! It's unbelievable just how bloody minded some people are. It brings out the worst in you, doesn't it.

Lavenham kooks like a Hollywood film set - really picturesque.

I have owned both and of course essentially the bikes are at least 50 years apart in terms of technology. They simply prove, I think that motor cycle development had started to plateau around the 1960s. The new Bullet is a little bit faster, al little bit smoother, brakes a bit better, lights the road a bit better, is a bit more economical. Both are very effective transportation devices. A very nice thing about the new 350 is that it is still air cooled, has a centre stand and is not laden with unwanted technology. It is still quite a simple bike and easy for the owner to look after and service which is lot more than you can say about many modern bikes. Personally I think an electric boot is superfluous on a 350 but you can't sell a bike with just a kick start anymore. In India they make enormous sense where the conditions make a simple air cooled 350 the perfect motorcycle. I am very happy that Royal Enfield are succeeding with an updated product line that carries on their heritage and sticks very much to the ethos of the older bikes. Simple, rugged, well built and affordable. They couldn't go on selling the old 1950s stuff for ever.

Thanks for that very funny story. I was 22 in 1980, on a Commando 850,Still riding. I believe the color of your Triumph is known as ‘Banana Split’. Just subscribed thanks.

i love those old stories. i hear you about giving up the drink.i understand, but it's a shame, really. i'm mostly sober now, but i'd still happily down a few while listening to some more stories in a comfy bar.

I have a picture of me and my mates that exactly the as that even down tmy dads cream and grey Cresta in the in the background...

Great video Lovely part of the world you live in All the best

😂😂

I like the gear drive for the valve train of the BSA and triumphs I don't like chene drive for the valves because the chain can snap and totally destroy your engine.

My 1999 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 is the most modern bike I want to have. I have a collection of British and German motorcycles as well as a Euro and a Java and a Vespa. It costs enough to keep one bike on the road I used to keep four on the road but it got to be too expensive.

I have been so excited waiting for this bike and felt sure I’d order one immediately however I’m disappointed. It’s at least 30kg overweight and it looks as if the designer gave up from the petrol tank back! The back wheel looks too small with all that space above it under the mudguard and apart from the black and chrome one, the colours are horrible! The red and cream one seems to have ‘Royal Enfield’ written in sharpie on the tank. Maybe it’ll look better with the pillion seat or in a Bullet version when they do one…

Awesome story.

I still pefer the cast iron 5s bullet electra

I put 7,000 mi on my motor became and when the authority decided that you needed a motorcycle license to ride a moped I decided to get a real motorcycle 🏍️.

When you can see the headlight on the road it's getting dark.😊

I like duro tires Kendra tires and cheng shin tires they are nice and inexpensive and give me good service long-lasting and good road holding capabilities. I go through tires too much to spend silly money on tires I like tires I get 10,000 mi out of. It cost me more in labor to mount the tires that it does to pay for the tires themselves.

I have had my Sportster 883 for 25 years and 400,000 mi and I am still in love with it. I love all of my motorcycles whether they are on the road or in storage they have a forever home like my shelter dog. They all have a forever home.

I don't worry about speedometers. As long as I have a headlight and a tail light I'm good.

I use a can of Fix-A-Flat on a small puncture and it does really well until it comes time to change the tire.

It's a very easy repair for someone who has 27 years experience as a motorcycle mechanic.

It may be an easy fix but you should not have to do it in the first place😢

This kind of anecdote really ought to be heard in the pub, cigarette in one hand,pint of bitter in the other! 😊

Nice video What a lovely little bike

Sometimes I have more people stop with the car then with motorcycles if I broke down on the side of the road 🛣️.

I really like them

Your motorcycle need s a set of crashbars

I had a similar deer experience on my T140...just spent 3 months in hospital..been out 3 weeks..took the bike for a Sunday visit to an auto jumble in Chelmsford..heading home through the woods a herd af deer ran out..5 turned away but one went straight into the front wheel...BUGGER!!!🤬

I just realised..not a cable in sight..all hydraulic!!...that's progress!!

Keep it as it is,just a Polish and keep riding and enjoy, lots of nice bikes I would love to be in that barn.

Loved your story and the way you tell it, great. 😂

I haven’t had a good laugh like that in awhile. Thank you. As a young lad just out of school I started working for a very big railroad company here in Canada. 1976. Being the newbie I became the butt of some hilarious pranks, all in good fun. My first day I was ordered to go to the locomotive shop and retrieve a bucket of steam. lol. I tried. Hahaha. Great story, you made my day.
