JAP Motorcycle Start Up

[@davidstephen6275]

what a beautiful piece of engineering.

[@unknownspecimen3617]

I didn't know Gordon Ramsay can ride a bike

[@timcolledge3732]

Presumably similar to the Broughs that the great Ted Baragwanath raced so successfully at Brooklands. By all accounts, what he didn't know about JAP engines wasn't worth knowing! He was a brilliant engineer.

[@Jonathan-L]

This bike is so scary, even the photographer wears a helmet!

[@dougiequick1]

All the mothers herded the little ones INTO THE HOUSE the moment she lit!

@@dougiequick1 Yeah , I worn a helmet while watching the video in my study room with closed door.LOL.

[@robleary3353]

Love that sound!.

[@krzysztofwaleska]

Perfect! Beauty! I want one!

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Amazing. Thanks for the genius and the beauty of the bike.

[@tc19948]

Brough Superior, or a good copy of the Pendine model, I think.

[@TheOTvideos]

Finnish copy😉

[@monjumonzo5120]

It's a good sound.

[@romandybala]

Now back on the trailer to the next start. Run for 3 minutes then put it away again.

[@TheOTvideos]

What do you mean???🤣🤣

[@farrider3339]

​@@TheOTvideosother question : how many miles per year do you run it ?

[@TheOTvideos]

@@farrider3339 Last summer me and my father rode this motorcycle for about 1500 kilometers in all.

[@farrider3339]

@@TheOTvideos sorry _a_ bike or precisely this one ? I think this was point aimed at. It looks like fresh from the dealer and never had a deep core test in a rainstorm. But trust me, anyone seeing it WANTS iT. Me rode a 1961 M100 Panther and it went in daily use (incl.⛈🌧) and weekly shopping.

[@unhold6210]

Das Ankicken muß aber noch geübt werden ansonsten geiles Bike!

[@wtfgebeurdmij2991]

God dammit that chain on the left side of the engine is so close to your trousers and shoe lases it is scary to think about the consequences when the fabric gets caught in there and drag your feet into the the spinning metal parts

[@farrider3339]

Great fantastic bike 🤩 Pity, he doesn't ride it that frequently

[@Zac-w3r]

What is that thing on the side of the engine?

[@PortCharmers]

Looks like it's got a Roots-compressor fitted (the black thing in front of the engine that one of the scary-close-to-the-foot chains goes to). The thingy above it is a massive carburettor, and there is some massive piping leading the mix into the cylinder heads.3

[@dougiequick1]

"WAIT! Can't ride yet! Let's see ...have to open two more fuel cock's ....4 more oil cock's ...re adjust the spark advance ....oh and open the chain oiler ...hmmm but I KNOW I am forgetting a couple more things ....damn it ...someone go fetch the manual!

[@mfKr-cl4rl]

With compressor? How many hp? Jesus christ!

[@BN1960]

Probably only about 50 or so in all honesty

[@harryflashman3141]

That is a serious steam punk contraption.

[@daisychain8622]

Those bikes aren’t about HP, it’s all torque.

[@adriantyler6911]

Period Brough bobber!!

[@superkas]

What a handsome bike, sounds like mighty thunder ⚡

[@cvtsboy]

Perfect. I want one.

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

Exquisite

look very comfortable :L

Olikos tää kuis paljo DIY, muistelen että lohkot valettu ja mitä muuta...

[@TheOTvideos]

Lähes kaikki itsetehtyä mutta toki vanteet, navat yms uustuotanto osia. Lohkojen lisäksi esim sylinterit ja kannet itse koneistettuja, rungot ja tankit itsetehtyjä.

[@tanni57]

@@TheOTvideos näin muistelin, mutta halusin varmistaa ennen kuin lähetän videot Enkuille ja laitan made in finland😇

[@tanni57]

oliks brittirallis jotkin muut, ku kaasarit erilaiset ja toisessa ahdin "supercharger"

[@TheOTvideos]

Näitä on kaksi pyörää, toinen ahdettu ja toinen kahdella kaasarilla.

[@christopherhughes8402]

Jesus this dude just has no clue what he's doing. Its just painful to watch.

[@TheOTvideos]

Would you be better?😂 What goes wrong at startup? You can come try it for yourself if you think that starts like a moped😉

[@DefenistrationAlley]

Please upload a video of yourself kick-starting a roughly liter-sized twin drawing it's fuel/air mix through a roots blower to show us how it's done. Let's see the monster individual that can kick this beast to life with no struggle.

[@johanmorrill7590]

Seems to me like he’s doing things properly. Carefully nudging it over compression to avoid kickback, then giving it a proper kick to put some momentum into the crankshaft. Unless I’m missing something that’s how I would do it too.

[@muellerm9768]

nothing run s

[@hermannhase6243]

Maybe he should get something that he can start easier, something with an e starter; a Honda rebel would suit him better. Riding a bike like that also requires a lot of strength and nohow, it’s not like throwing a couple of raw eggs 🍳 in a frying pan

[@TheOTvideos]

@@hermannhase6243 haha you seem to know everything about motorcycles?🤣🤣 That man in the video made the whole motorcycle himself, so maybe he knows what he's doing😉

[@harpomarx7777]

You can always spot an amateur rider by the way they drag their feet .. or hover them .. when taking off. They're not confident in their own riding abilities, so that one foot stays on the ground until they get some serious speed. Then, once they slow down, the foot goes right back down on the ground ~ their "security blanket" ~ dragging along the ground or hovering just above it. He did the turn-around "duck-walking" the bike with both feet. He's green as hell.
