Paul's rant 2. Answering some of my critics regarding some of my actions and methods. 

The proof of the pudding, you have a proven track record, ignore the "keyboard warriors" and "couch experts", don't let them get you down mate !

Hey Paul, don't waste your time on these ignorant people. Live and let live. Your highly appreciated by most of your viewers. Thank you for your videos mate.

Very good response Paul. 👍 There seem to be an annoying few clowns online who have too much spare time on their hands and who simply like to complain and find fault with others. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an easy fix for this problem except to tell them to piss off. Keep up the good work Paul. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Love it, just as good as your other videos. 😅

I am a jabber as was my father and his father before him!

Paul. Its a tonic to watch your videos! Please keep them comming.

I'm with you on both points - I find if you hold the ticklers down, you get more spillage than if you press and release repeatedly. My T140V won't idle reliably until it is properly warmed up, so I'm in the habit of blipping the throttle while stationary, because it's extremely annoying to be ready to pull away and it stalls. By the time you've found neutral and restarted, the lights have changed, so I'm with you on that one, too, Paul.

My friend Jack worked on and sold English bikes his whole life. One day a know-it-all was telling him how to repair something on a Triumph, can’t remember what. Jack didn’t even look up. He just said, thank you Edward Turner, I’ll keep that in mind. Mr. know-it-all just put his head down and walked away. It was hilarious.

Tickling the carb by agitating the button,as a child,I'd watch my Dad doing that on his Francis-Barnet Plover. Then,he'd plonk me onto the petrol-tank and give me a ride around the front yard-my introduction to the noble art of motorcycling! 😊

Bikes of the 60's did not always have a reliable tickover thoughout their heat range so blipping the throttle was essential and of course some bikes did not have tickover. And then again with a gold star silencer fitted a good ol' throttle blip at the lights sounded marvellous. Even my B33 sounded like a racer. Stick with it Paul as most of us want to see how YOU do it.

Bang on the button. I blip the throttle on my Classic500 just because it sounds good. My bike my rules. I was told not to modify my bike until it had run in by an 'expert'. Exhaust, air filter, air injection system, booster plug, iridium spark plug and rear shocks all changed or deleted before the bike went on the road. Never regretted it. Don't let them get to you. Your knowledge is second to none and nobody doubts your abilities, the asbo bikes are testament to that.

Well said. Bikes are individuals, as are we humans, years of learning, backed by experience and intuition come together 'sometimes' and wisdom then means we are confident and free to be ourselves and know what works and importantly works for us. I still enjoy learning and I find your channel interesting, informative and full of character.

Mr Henshaw i realy like your channel. I have learned many things from your videos .I am a motorcycle mechanic in the

Well said Paul, keep up the good work 👍 👏

You are very much correct in what you say. I have a lot of respect for yourself and the knowledge you have built up and shared with us all over time. Constructive criticism is the key. Thank you again for the huge amount of your time you spend to video/edit and upload content to share with us.

You continue to do it your way, why does it matter. I enjoy watching your videos and if it works for you why bother what others think!

Excellent Paul. I use the tickler like you do. I don't want fuel pouring because I had a fire doing that!!!!! I started pressing the tickler like you do for that reason. "Tickling" gets the best outcome and you don't need the fire brigade to help!!!! yes, we had to get them out!!!

Love watching and learning from your channel. Some people really need to get a life and open their minds up 👍

Well said sir. I've been fettling bikes for over50 years but I've learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You're most welcome to carry on blipping and tickling in my books Paul. Whatever one's preference is in such matters, and no matter what valid arguments are put forward either way - it's all trivial (as you've exposed admirably here). Watching your videos has now become a regular morning ritual with me. I love seeing these bikes and seeing how someone like myself (ie. without a flash workshop or state-of-the-art tools/equipment) goes about working on a classic British bike. 😊
