Watching the bmw n sidecar was comical good stuff .your so right about doing the maintenance I enjoy it gives you a sense of achievement and knowing your doing the bike good 👍

Re. the fibreglass tank and ethanol, Dave… there are now companies (in India) producing steel replica tanks for classic bikes which had a GRP tank as standard… including the original Conti GT 250, and certain Norton Commandos… often available fully finished in stock colours and decals at very reasonable prices.

My first time commenting on your channel, been lurking catching up on all the vids. This episode is so brilliant, I thought you had my British doppelganger with Lana towards the end! I have owned a Ural here in the States, 2wd and the dog rode in it for a while before I sold it. I now am starting the process of rebuilding my 68' T100R, have the engine out and stripped down to the pistons, just got my engine stand from a chap there in England, so I can now do a proper teardown. From my neighbor snapping a pic of me sneakily playing on my stepdads '82 Honda Nighthawk 450 when I was 11, to today at 49, I've always loved bikes, and have wrenched on all the ones I owned, even when bought new, aftermarket has been the Bane to my wallet, improvements can always be made! I totally enjoy your channel! Cheers!

180 miles on the Gold Star first time out. That's impressive. When I bought my 1964 Triumph TR6 last year I rode it home about 50 miles. (An hour and a half ride.) It was my first time on a vintage British bike. The bike performed great.

@Kevin-cy9cv Год назад

I do love these videos, thanks.

@philskype101 Год назад

Im only 45 and bought my first British bike two years ago a 1963 650 RGS with clip on's and rear sets not too comfortable but love riding it, and love the videos Dave!

You are correct about the small bikes. I am lucky to own a few classic bikes, from different ends of the globe. In my early 50’s I can still manage big bikes, though, especially in congested urban environments, it’s the lighter machines that bring the smiles per mile… Also in a scrambling environment. However it’s horses for courses, on a highway trip of long miles you can’t beat a more torque oriented machine.

I absolutely am in love with my 66 Lightning. However, I would be lying if i said I wouldn't sell it in a heartbeat to buy an RGS. Being a motorcycle wrench at my own shop, I too, fear breaking down and the frustrations. The looks I get and the appreciation my old bird gets throws that right out the window. My dad and I ride when we can around some back roads here in the US and the story of the young lad with his dads Gold Star hit home. I binge watch all of your videos and appreciate your in depth summaries of your repairs, you have even taught me a thing or two being that I specialize more on the Japanese bikes. Thank you for your videos and being down to earth! Cheers from the States!

As usual and expected a really great video on really great bikes. Thanks awefully for sharing with us.

@goldilocks913 Год назад

Now what if they bought out a new model of this with a tuned up meteor 350?

@jobucklandbuckland8031 Год назад

236 miles Plymouth to Wellingborough on a 98 Honds 250 rebel i bought that afternoon ,went across country avoiding the motorways not bad for a 24 year old bike and 64 yr old rider

I rode a 69 BSA 441 from Vancouver to San Francisco and back in 2 weeks, 2400 miles. Burnt 1 set of clutch plates chasing bigger bikes on trip. They can do the job but you need wrenches.

Doing a 180mile run on a Classic British Bike today is Simply Brilliant. Was really Great listening to Dave's story and speaks volumes about his Workmanship. And also Proves That British Bikes can be Reliable if put right. 👌

@gitaneVYS491R Год назад

Enjoyed that. Half-hour gone in a few minutes!

@johnetherington782

I bought my Continental GT in 1965 and managed to get it to the dizzy heights of 95mph....Sold it in 1974 for £50 with 15,000 miles on the clock. If only......

@jjrider6758 Год назад

Absolutely right Dave, we need to get more young people into bikes of all ages and disciplines (preferably classics !.) - I dread to think what the average age of UK bikers is today but I'd be willing to bet it's well over 50 !.. I must admit I had a chuckle when I saw you hanging on for grim death with both hands as Lana took the Dnepr outfit off-roading !.. Great video as always by the way, really looking forward to seeing the Scott up and running..

@-old-school-motorcyclesltd Год назад

Well done there and to you Dave on you’re brilliant work with the BSA

On the subject of younger and new riders, and classics: It would be interesting to see a video on classics that are affordable and accessible up to 125cc (CBT legal)
