Croick Church is a historic old church which has its part to play in the Highland Clearances where the landed gentry cleared tenants off their land to make way for sheep. The residents of Glenacalvie took shelter in the churchyard after being evicted.

I’m envious. Triple digit temperatures in Southern California this time of year render the scenery brown and classic air cooled motorcycles dead on the roadside. Your exploits aboard the C15 in verdant Scotland provide a much appreciated reset . Thank you sir!

James I am glad you enjoy my wee films and much appreciate you telling me. I could not cope with 3 digit temperatures! However sometimes it would be nice to have a bit more sun! We have had quite a dull wet summer so far if it is a summer. However as you say my wee C15 doesn't overheat!

I was just looking for a way to brighten a grim afternoon here in Cramlington when up popped one of your lovely videos! I'm sitting here with the fire on and the rain pouring down but I get to see the gorgeous Scottish scenery accompanied by the pleasant rumble of your C15 and your witty commentary. I've had a similar issue with a fragile connector on the cable to the negative battery terminal of my AJS. I hope you are well. Thanks for posting.

Another great Video Hugh, the old C15 was bombing along there, a super run out to the old Church and the splendid countryside, also the lovely water course and dare I say rapids with my Photographer's eye a few Images to be had there, I'll have to look this area up and make some plans to do some visiting with the Camera. best Wishes Hugh, take care, Colin.

I started out on a C15 in the mid 70s (after 2 mopeds). 50 years and 50 odd bikes later, I'm riding an RE Meteor and Hunter. There are somehow similarities. Love the vlog, great memories of my C15.

@@timsatchell6713 Thank you Tim for the nice comment. The Enfield Meteor 350 is lovely for a modern bike. I think if I hadn't a C15 I'd go for one. But going out on a 65 year old bike is an adventure. I would love the joy of electric start. I am older than my bike!

Hello Rick, you could hardly be much further away! Last year I was getting over 90 mpg, this year it is about 75. The only real change I made was fitting a stay up float to the Monobloc carb. I am sorry I cannot tell you the revs. It has no tachometer. Quite a bit of vibration is the nearest I can give!
