Royal Enfield Constellation oil leak - Time for a road test! 

What a smashing machine, ive never understood why Royal Enfield twins are so underrated compared to their peer BSA, Triumph and Nortons

Proper! There was a distinct risk of enjoyment on that ride. Oh, and everything's fine in the garden as there was an appearance from "Buggeroff".

From consternation to Constellation. Well done, mate.

G'day Paul, well another job dune and dusted, well done 👍, the bike looks great and listening sounds fantastic, the old girl runs fine, those roads would be the death of me, cars park wherever, narrow street, and that 20mph, l would loose my temper and licence in a heart beat, wide open spaces for this little black Duck, cheers mate you've done well, see you on the next, Neil 🤠.

Finally finally - A CONNIE. the only bike that gave me the s***s. It was a pals bike , got on the main road screwed it in first ,slid back on the seat with literal fingertips on grips - couldn’t shut it off - valve floated and allowed me to get control. My own bike was a 1949 phantom Bantam.

Funny how some people work. I’m assuming the solder blockage was a repair not a factory cock up. ( the pipe soldering bloke at Redditch would be doing hundreds a day for years and would never get it wrong) If I’ve ever repaired or made something like this I’ll always blow down it to check it’s clear and then block the other end to test for leaks. I don’t think this guy thought it through, having used a stick of solder to make sure, he didn’t wonder where half of it ended up.

I was waiting to see if your doggie buddy would show up.😂

Love your videos Paul. I never miss one

Its a great looking bike & you have performed your usual magic in identifying & sorting out the problems which were highly problematical and demonstrated your expertise whilst doing so. Congratulations Paul another job exceedingly well done.

Nice job. Well done.

Nice ride today. Many thanks!

Fantastic Paul.

hi one more done Paul nice work again top man thanks for the ride out keep safe cheers the tins are out

That was a proper test ride Paul really good machine now ...

Sounds like it’s running really well, Paul. Seems another minor detail or two will have it just right. Sweet bike, all in all. Carry on.

I worry that with the number of external oil lines on this engine, it will ever be oil tight! I notice that the state of the roads in Wales are just as bad as they are in England.

Nice ride Paul and the bike is sounding good. Looks like another success. Congrats and thanks for taking us along. Cheers, Dan ✌️🇨🇦

Glad you didn't go Medieval on the slow car. Cheers.

Fair play Paul 😂! You're very professional ! I wouldn't be able to get past how ugly that bike is !!!! How do you keep stum about the dog, and whoever is responsible for it ? Neighbours I guess. I like your style 👍

In Japan if you don't have a place to park your car you are not allowed to buy one. Britain was better off with motorcycles and side cars. Bike sounds just great 😃

Well done Paul looks like you nailed it again Did the bike feel under geared to you It sounds under geared If I were the owner I reckon I'd go up on that gearing a little

Nice ride out. The motor has a lovely torquey growl to it. From what I could see it was pulling approx 4K revs at 60mph, is that standard gearing?

Hello Paul. That is a very beautiful machine. Might I ask - what is one of your favorite singles to ride? Thanks, Marty in Pennsylvania USA.

Just a gorgeous bike. Is it possible to fit a 5 speed gearbox to those?

Plain stupid driving that restricted 20 mph speed wasn't it? Could have at least got up to 10 mph on that conjested high street.......oh hold on........

Lovely, haha...? 😁 Take it from me: British bikes from before the era of Honda 750 were all total crap. It's just that they hadn't met any real competition yet. I used to work as a motorcycle journalist in Sweden, at "Allt Om MC", between 1978 and 1981. Most of the Japanese and German bikes which we featured in our magazine were really good, dependable motorcycles. Even the stodgy, East-German brands, like the MZ 250 were good machines. Fast forward to a Triumph Bonneville 750, 1979 model, which was my test-bike during a week. That was the last model Triumph ever produced, and I can tell you it was not a good product. The outdated motor design worked fairly well in configurations up to 500 cc, but at 750 cc it was a major VIBRATOR. It simply would shake your arms and hands to death, at speeds over 80 km/hr. Not even the Harley's were that bad. I was never especially impressed by the British motorcycles then, in the 1970's. "Good riddance..."😜

IT must be extremely satisfieding for you when all the work and time you put in to a bike is completed with success, she looks and sounds great my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
