Armstrong MT500 review

[@donaldgilchrist795]

A quick review of my Armstrong MT500, had it for 6 mouths. Sorry about the sound level,

Good solid bike. Are you missing the right side kick stand or have you opted to remove it? I find the left hand kick stand very unstable, the bike is almost vertical! Mine speed wobbles a lot at 90mph, I would not recommend!

[@donaldgilchrist795]

@@1philhuitson no R/H stand fitted but dident come with main stand either. L/H one ok but mostly use main, as better for starting. 90 mph is for the Ducati ST2 and summer. Thanks for taking the time to watch my little film.

Nice bike, has that well tended but ridden patina, quite a punchy engine, did grin at your four second comment regards the front brake. I guess the front brake is soft to remain controllable on the loose stuff. Good solid performance and well ridden, great video.

You made the starting look easy 😀

[@donaldgilchrist795]

Thank you, it has been up for sale and it would not start due to the trigger coil packing up. Maybe it does'nt want to leave me?

Still got it .Bumped into you at the Dragon.{Gary not Nigel)

ive got the MT350 now, the one that Harley Davidson built. It is almost identical exept it has a electric start and disk brakes, so it starts and stops unlike the 500. Great to see you again.

Put a Mikuni VM32 carb on it, much better running and starting
