So what year Morgan three-wheeler is this where do we buy them and is it still a wood frame or is it a metal frame and is that a Harley-Davidson motor out front?
It Looks good, between the black mudguards on the front wheels and the back of the headlights. Moggie looks as good as when it rolled of the showroom floor.
This time there were several distinctive landmarks, especially the tunnel, so it was easy for me to find the road on the map and trace the route you drove. Nice camera view editing, thank you for an interesting drive and map reading exercise.
Fascinating and interesting, indeed. Are there any special vehicular noise restrictions within Preservation Districts? I appreciate that you kept the noise low, or as low as possible.
Again, an other interesting angle of view. Here the viewer gets to experience more what is involved in driving Moggie. When you drove through the tunnel, it was fun to see how the spots of light danced all over Moggie and the helmet. You must pick the best time of day for your drives, there is next to no traffic on the roads, which makes for a more pleasant drive. Thank you for an other pleasant cruise through the countryside.
Enjoyable drive. Thank you. Have you had any difficulty in having your Morgan serviced in the general area where you live or work? Or do you service it yourself?
Thank you for watching and commenting. There are several shops in western Japan that repair Morgans. However, it's over 70km away from where I live, so I do the daily maintenance myself. I'm having trouble finding parts.
@@moggie3wheeler If I lived in the UK or even within reasonable distance of a Morgan dealer, I would offer to assist in locating parts. FYI, I take my MX-5 a round-trip of 460 km each year for its annual service. Keep your excellent videos coming!
Oh nice, this is a long video. This time I was wearing my good headphones so I was much more aware of the rumbling sound below the lovely burbling sound of the engine. I also liked the subtle slow changes in the editing of the angle of view in the video. I would imagine that the lack of other traffic would add to the pleasure of the drive and I enjoy seeing the Japanese country side.
Thank you for your comment. The rumbling sound may have been due to a poor microphone placement. Next time I'll try driving the same road in the spring.
Hi .Have owned a M3W for years now in the uk.Only just seen your video. Can I give you a heads up on that tank cap seal. The seal should be fixed to the cap otherwise it can fall in the tank and block the oil from circulating thus causing catastrophic engine damage because of lack of oil. Hope I’m not too late. Have fun. Best regards
Thank you for your comment. Immediately after this, I replaced the oil tank cap seal with a new one. The oil was also changed to 20W50. This is a video of when I added temporary oil because I couldn't get regular oil. You know a lot about 3 wheelers, so please continue to tell me more.
I am very impressed with that camera, that is an interesting angle of view. It gives much more a sense of the road. The delicious burble of the engine also came across very well, thank you for the ride. All the best for the new year.
Oh, this is one of the best videos so far. The editing of the angle of view is brilliant. You, the machine with the sound of the engine and the scanning view of the Japanese countryside, just pure motoring, thank you.
What a brilliant view! I was trying to work out how you mounted the camera. It also surprised me with the change in the angle of view in the curves of the road and then seeing the forward view. Thank you for giving us the sound track of Moggie, the engine and vibrations, I really enjoy that. Then topping it off with the view of the Japanese countryside, thank you for showing.
Thank you for always watching and commenting. I mounted the insta360 camera to the license plate stay. After shooting, I edited the angle of view. The microphone is attached to the base of the license plate, so mechanical engine noise is recorded.
I will be starting my RU-vid channel with the build of a 1928 Morgan with an experimental aircraft opposed twin engine power plant. We shall see how close it feels to flying ...
That is beautiful! I am in the States and they are even more rare here. Especially now that they stopped making the cool ones. I am starting a RU-vid channel with the build of a 1928 Morgan Aero RIP GN Special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. There is only one original and Chawlie Mawtin runs it for the hillclimbs and every other race he can enter. I am using an experimental Airplane opposed twin with a turbocharger on the front. I am casting an aluminum two part adapter to mate the engine to an MGB 4 speed transmission giving it a real reverse gear and a true clutch system. A driveshaft transfers power to an MGB rear differential instead of a GN solid axle rear with chain gear selectors. I am upgrading the front suspension to A-arms for safety and the MGB rear for juice brakes. I watched the original car waggle so badly that it was nearly out of control coming out of corners. The car is wooden over steel frame and covered with ceconite aircraft fabric in the same color as the original as far as I am thinking now. I used MGB parts so I could keep the car as British as possible. I am planning on a brushed wood dashboard and comfortable seating. The instruments will be aircraft inspired and some amenities will be found as well. This replica will look as if it could fly if one were to add a propeller and wings. The original is described by Charlie Martin in its native habitat with a nice video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W9QMa7AUD-4.html
I wonder, what sort of traffic was the road originally built for. Pedestrians perhaps? The countryside looks quite fascinating, thank you for the ride.
