Really enjoyed that vlog. I own a Classic 350 in Halcyon green. I have removed the rear seat and fitted the touring front seat and a rear carrier which replaces the rear seat cushion. A couple of pannier frames and pannier bags complete the look and I have really enjoyed using the bike for all sorts of trips. Have ridden from my home in Cornwall and toured Wales a couple of times with full camping gear. I try to avoid motorways unless I really need to use them (like to skirt around Bristol on the trip to Wales). Love the bike - it's great for taking the road less travelled, especially down around the Cornish lanes. The Triumph 400's look interesting and looking forward to your review.

Loved your Tuesday VLOG on the RE Classic 350. The weather was great so I took my Triumph Speed Twin 1200 for a spin around Salisbury Plain stopping at Chopper's Cafe at Burbage on the A338 for a cuppa. The sound from your new mic was great, that 350cc motor sounds good. A KZbin channel that I like: I Do Cars, he takes broken engines apart to find out what caused them to fail. His latest video is a broken Ford F-150 3.5L, the stuck oil rings show exactly why you need to change engine oil regularly and ideally use good oil; but that didn't break the crankshaft!

Gutted to hear about the shoulder, Andy. Sending best wishes for that; I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of it in no time - hang in there. That Enfield looks absolutely delightful esp without that back seat! Thanks for the vlog - loved it! As for certain words, I’m going to be honest here, you went through a phase of saying ‘binnacle’, when discussing Speedo and rev counter clocks on some of the bikes you reviewed. Rather than it putting me off I found it rather endearing and, coupled with words like Blighty, Environs and various other idiosyncrasies, is for me a great feature of the channel. You have a love for language, the countryside, vlogging, WW2 aircraft and, above all, bikes!! I’m going nowhere!

Best looking classic motorcycle in the world with that seat off. This bike with a twim 500cc enjine with 54 bhp would be perfect. It's not the 1950s 60s , and we aren't in India, so 20bhp isn't enough power for European roads. Im sure lots of Classic riders would love to ride from London to Scotland on a more powerful Royal Enfield Classic. It is imo the most beautiful classic motorcycle made today 😍

Tuesday was a rare break in the weather recently on the south coast too so took advantage of a ride myself. The 350 looks great without the pillion seat although it didn’t bother me with it either. I like watching KZbin Motorcycle and cycle trips showing me places in uk or overseas rather than the actual bike. An armchair adventure if you like. Marc Travels and Itchy Boots of course plus Wiltshire Man. Vlogs are great while your shoulder is is problematic or although I’m not a big fan of the GS, updates on your other bikes is always appreciated . Keep the wordage coming Andy and if you need a shoulder to lean on you know where we are.

Sorry to hear that your shoulder surgery has not been sucessful. Hope that you manage to get it sorted. Glad to see you out and about on such a nice day. I rode from Newcastle to Holy Island yesterday and got a good soaking for my trouble so it was lashing down up north. The Enfield engine has a lovely little burble to it and taking the pillion seat off has dramatically improved the looks of the bike. It would be interesting to see what an unrestricted one would do. I bet you are glad that the white van turned off as overtaking it might have proved a little difficult. Maybe the subject of a future what's it like to video.

Add a small chrome rack to the fender where one could carry a small bag with an extra layer or some rain gear. But I agree that those full fenders on both ends are so pretty and very practical.

I really enjoyed that, Andy. Not just because you’re riding a bike which I also have but also for the relaxing, casual and impromptu nature of the content. Regarding what some people have called annoying phrases and sayings you use, I actually really like that about you and other KZbinrs I watch. It’s their signature and fondly reminds me of how radio presenters used to announce the start of their shows. You may be too young to remember Jimmy Young on Radio 2 who used to start his show identically every day with, “Morning all, thanks to Terry Wogan of course and a warm welcome to the J Y Prog!” Love it - so ignore the moaners and never change. You were asking about other KZbin channels to recommend and one which I now follow regularly is “2 wheeled willie”. He’s a great bloke, very down-to-earth and self-effacing who buys and sells bikes on a regular basis as his whims take him. But recently he’s really fallen in love with his Triumph T120 Black, which he’s been adding bits to, changing, modifying, etc and often gets carried away. He’s also a fan of the RE Classic 350. But the best thing about his channel is that he’s such a brilliantly funny story teller. You might need to watch a few to get into his personality but once you do you’ll laugh out loud at his stories. Finally, yes please do more of these rambling videos, just riding around and chatting away. Love it! Cheers!

Get to a certain vintage and we begin to experience “inflammaging” - the first indicators being the up/down grunt and waking up sore after going to bed fine. Use it or lose it they say, but even that cliché needs a bit of sauce. Much depends on how it’s used and where it’s lost, eh? In my 70’s now and riding provides momentum, connection and a reason to lift a leg. It’s all a matter of balance and, where better to find that than on a bike . . .

Hi Andy. For your viewers learning about your new camera and sound setup I have a few bits of advice here. First of all, lower your gain in the mic setting on the Osmo cam until you can no longer see the the RED peaking on the audio level highlighted on the rear screen of the camera. Every voice is of a different level, mine is -11db on the Osmo Action 4 and that peaks in orange. It is much easier to record lower levels (non distorted) and simply raise the gain in edit as you will retain all of the information. The other key thing your viewers need to try here is to point the microphone DOWNWARDS within the helmet as this will pick up the induction sound. The DJI Mic I recommended to you is OMNI directional which will give you a good balance of surround sound whilst your voice is the main subject. I also set my mic within the helmet to the side of my mouth and not in full force frontal which is what it sounds like here. There is no standard setting with this phenomenon as everybody's voice has a different level, we all wear different helmets, and we can only afford different levels of equipment. We all still have to find that sweet spot but the technology out there today is superb and makes it so much easier for us. Hope the shoulder recovers soon Andy, Sláinte
@TheMissendenFlyer8 ай бұрын
Cheers Dave for the recommendations. Funnily enough, I do have the mic set to the side of my mouth in this video. I guess I just speak loudly! I have mine set at minus 9B, but perhaps I need to try -11 and tweak in the edit as you suggest. Anyway, thanks for the advice, hints and tips and suggestions I’ll keep working on it!

Good advice Dave. I am running at -5 at the moment, without the dead cat, and get just a little clipping when large vehicles pass by in the opposite direction. I will try pointing downwards, fitting a dead cat, and reducing the volume to -8 or -9, as I am quite softly spoken. Cheers

The sound on the new microphone is excellent for your voice, not getting much bike sound though. That’s such a hard balance to achieve. I love when you share your KZbin favorites. I learned about Freddie Dobbs from you. I enjoy Blancolirio’s KZbin channel who does aviation crash breakdowns. I’ve always wanted to ask you about the Ford Explorer picture on the door of your garage. I had one of those… same year as the one in your picture. Mine was Navy blue and was a 5 speed manual.

Sorry to hear your shoulder op didn't work and i hope you can get it sorted soon. I love the rambling vlogs Andy, and it would be great if you can do them again, when time allows.

For the first time since a very very long time we had blue skies and a lot of sunshine 😊 Sorry to hear your shoulder hasn’t improved. I don’t know how long you paused riding or using force after the surgery but I had to stop riding and using force for at least four weeks and after that slowly build up. It worked for ten years. Last year the pain came back but now the shoulder is very slowly improving. Hope you get the same results but you always have to be careful while using your shoulder. The bike looks better from the side without back seat but, first me, not from the back. The bike looks good but for me it has too little power for me and I need luggage capacity and a windshield would be nice.

Yes they definitely look better without the rear seat, but I left the seat frame on and use it as a carrier along with Hitchcocks pannier frames and Lomo bags, I put my tent on the back and away I go . You don't have to remove the frame again to put it back on , it's just held in place by the four grab rail bolts. I also fitted a heel and toe gear lever as I couldn't get the standard gear lever in the right position to get my boot under it ,it was either to high or to low , the heel and toe changer makes it way easier. As for KZbin to watch try Coastrider Scotland he really uses his Classic 350 and does plenty of miles and trips all over Scotland on it as well as his daily commute, unless he's snowed in . Also, Ian Hughes, and That bloke on a motorbike and TAYM.

Yes a superb day here in North Yorkshire on Monday. A ride on my CB 1000R to the Lake District was made more enjoyable by a Cumberland sausage swirl sandwich that would have made a ten on biker scran😀 The bad shoulder is annoying but I’m sure you will get it sorted. Enjoyed the catch up blog as usual. 👍

Hi Andy I to had extremely agonising shoulder pain. Eventually I had to have a reverse shoulder replacement. After trying everything I could think of with no relief I found a really good acupuncturist. Went from eighty percent pain to twenty, and able to do long rides again. Able to do my trade as a mechanic full time over the two years prior to my surgery.

The bike looks so much better without the rear seats. Love the rambling vlogs around south bucks, gives me some ideas for new roads to ride round.

Morning Andy, it’s annoying when your body won’t allow you to do the things you want. Ageing is a pita really. Another channel you might like is the Australian Armour museum, their videos on restoring various tanks, military vehicles and even artillery pieces are really interesting if you enjoy engineering. The guys there are incredible at fabricating parts and solving problems, true artisans.

I hope the shoulder improves soon. We careful of that man flu though. Covid pales into insignificance in comparison 🤪. A good car vlog is Tyrell’s Workshop.

Sorry to hear that the Op has made things worse for riding etc. I think the sound is very clear, you may feel the engine note is muted. Can't wait to hear your views on the Triumph 400, so far the general impression has been very positive. A comparison (probably not fair) between the RE 350 and the Triumph 400 will be interesting. I enjoy your VLOG's, so keep them coming and fingers crossed that the shoulder improves......

Sorry to hear about your shoulder Andy. Lovely burble coming through from the bike 🙂 There's certainly been plenty of decent weather to get out, but I've been busy, and of course, when I do get my bike out to give it the once over, I end up dropping it and smashing a mirror! 😭 Aside from that there's an o-ring that needs replacing, which is already in hand! Looking forward to the mirrors arriving then I can blow the cobwebs out before I use it for the commute again Edit to add: more off the cuff vlogs please! Nice enjoying the countryside while you chat about random things 😉

A nice relaxing ride, I'm working at home here writing some not very challenging software and it was the perfect background on the other screen. Bummer about the shoulder, I broke my wrist a few years ago and couldn't ride for a bit, just a memory now, hopefully you get the same outcome with the shoulder.

'Easy, like Sunday morning' . . . Elegant as Elgar, bronzed sepia in the brown, sensible shoes & strong guttering, well worthy of it's Canuteous English task. A cricket-matching motion, unhurried, straight & true . . . & steady, like Sunday morning.' Hope the shoulder eases, vlog's good, mic's good & may the next fly in your teeth die happy.

I always enjoy these VLOGS, keep 'em coming - your comments about mental wellbeing and forgetting your troubles always strikes a chord. I have managed 662 miles so far this year, despite awful Northumberland weather. On the topic of other YT channels - try Stace on Wheels - in particular "7 reasons Why I Ride" - she nails it. She is also very competent, mechanically, which makes me feel inferior, my spannering skills being several degrees beneath your own. Hope the shoulder issues improve with time.

A lovely Tuesday afternoon bimble along the lanes Andy. You made me very jealous, I’m only just up the road from you in Brill, Bucks and should have taken advantage of the nice weather myself. Still, there’s always tomorrow! The RE looks lovely - just my sort of bike. Charles.

I was on the bike today for about the 4th time in 10 weeks - horrible weather and I work at home a lot. Sadly I have 26miles of traffic to work including Spag Junction, but I usually find reasons to be glad to be on the bike.

I sympathise with you over shoulder pain. I'm in the same boat, probably due to rugby injury 36 years ago. In addition many years of playing squash at a high level has take its toll. At least we can still get out and about! After an hour I really need to stop. 🥴 Freddie Dobbs is a favourite of mine, does a good podcast too, along with Del Boys Garage.
