My fave local bimble, Derwent gorge, is a short hidden treasure
Yeah, it's one of my favourites too. I was out that way again, yesterday but didn't take my camera.
Got this model yesterday, much love brother!
Lovely countryside.
Woow that's awesome 🔥
Some of my favourite roads
У меня точ токой же только зелёный ...классный Мотоцикл ..кайфую от него
Yes they are a fun and cool motorbike, thanks for watching 😁👍🏍️
My bike is Royal Enfield classic 350 reborn I love Royal Enfield Love from Assam, India ❤
lovely.. i so nearly got one... but we ride 2 up 95% of my leisure riding...so i got the 650 interceptor.. i think the race rep is dying the popularity of RE and naked bikes nowdays ... i just hope the hoardes stay away from the quiet lanes i love
It is a great bike, a real pleasure to ride pottering along on twisty country lanes. Yeah even though it would manage two up, it'd be a bit of a struggle on hills and fast roads. I always ride solo so it's not an issue for me, and I'm fortunate enough to have a Continental GT 650 too ...for the faster roads, not that I go particularly fast nowadays.
Beautiful 😍 bike .
Classic seat comfert is upright seat possiction.... Vintage model is a didaster❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. I also have a Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red. I think that it is beautiful.
Grand day for it.
love the Red GT looks brill liking the footage ! how are you finding the ride ?
Thanks, yeah it's really nice to ride and I'm very happy with it ...has a really nice engine (smooth and tractable), handles great, sounds great (especially with the aftermarket silencers), looks great, 75-80 mpg and it's reasonably comfortable (although I have fitted bar risers from CooperB ...prior to fitting these I did get pain in my arthritic wrists and shoulders after 30-40 miles, now I can easily do 70-80+ miles before wanting to get off and stretch my legs for 5 mins...the footpegs are quite tucked up)
Do you remember what size connection your mirrors have?
Not without looking it up as they were already fitted when I bought it second hand.
What beautiful country you have to ride!
Great video thanks
Another great video. Thanks
This was an excellent video! Thank's for the ride. What's your thoughts on the 350 Classic?
It's nice to ride. I have new Halcyon Green.
It's a great bike, fun to ride although it's not fast, looks great (although that's subjective), handles well, sounds great and very economical. It's not one for the motorways but on the country lanes it puts a smile on your face and seems to enhance the riding experience. If you're after a inexpensive small capacity bike to plod around on you can't go wrong with the classic.
@@leighcoulson2148 That's true, but sometimes he doesn't have enough strength. His character makes up for it.
@@leighcoulson2148Eu tenho uma Meteor 350 Supernova Brown da qual gosto muito
That all black is stryking!
I always wanted red gt with alloys, blacked out engine and silencers. Very difficult to maintain chrome 😂 Waiting for RE to launch new colour schemes
I also have a Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red. I think that it is beautiful.
Stang top is one of my fave roads
Ha, Can recall coming down Scutterhill Bank back in the 80's.. Colin Sherman and his wife ,with combined weight of well over 50 stone, on a Triumph 6TA overheated the rear brake so much the brake drum was glowing red and the combined brakedrum/sprocket was boiling the chain grease and it caught fire... He fell off in Stanhope ford a bit later too.
I love the sound of a single potter.
@@georgewilson119 yeah, it has a nice chug
I also have a Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red. I think it is beautiful.
yeah, it is a looker 🏍👍
🏍🏍🏍🏍 recognised some of them roads and didn't recognise some lol the viaduct near Mickleton I think I need go visit that with my drone lol nice vid 👍 🏍🏍🏍
Great video, looks like a great ride! I am norwegian, spent a couple og weeks in UK early 90's with my first mc, a Honda CX500, you have a great countryside to ride a bike in, tons of small and larger villages, nice twisty small roads, and an spectacular view almost everywhere you look! Later i bought an Buell X1 Lightning, in 99, the cool white stripes on your bike reminded me of it 😊 Ride safe, keep the rubberside down! Love Royal Enfield!🥰
Thank you 👍. A late friend of mine had a CX500 in the early 80's, it was a nice bike to ride. I also had a fancy for a Buell at one time but it was beyond my budget back then. I expect Norway has more than it's fair share of nice roads and stunning sceney 😉. Take care😊
That little thing can go!
It plods along nicely despite having only 20 bhp, especially on the smaller twisty roads
Great video, riding footage, motorcycle sounds, no stupid music.
Thank you.
I love my Black Stealth and now I know that I don't have to put a video like that, it would just be a slightly different landscape in Lower Saxony, near Lüneburg, Germany. Tuning (ECU box, air filter, etc.) leads to the expiration of our operating license, so I will probably only be allowed to replace the mirrors...😠
Did you experience Any vibrations ?
No, it's surprising smooth when riding. You can feel a slight throb at tick over but it's more like a pulse and not uncomfortable or significant.
Does the cat pipe and filter make that much of a difference Leigh??
It's not a significant difference but it did feel a little more lively and free revving after both mods. Probably added 1 or possibly 2 bhp but it's still not going to win any races... not that's the point of the bike.
Nice indian bike
It certainly is.
I live and work in County Durham. 😂
У всех язык отваливается? Пустая трата времени на просмотр того, как чувак себя снимает на мотоцикле. Idioten )
what is 360° camera you using?
It's the Insta360 X3.
@@leighcoulson2148 thank you
Nice ride btw!
I wish where I live here could have such windy and nice roads like the English countryside... where I live in south Ontario is a grid... :(
Yeah, I'm fortunate to have a lot of nice motorcycling roads within easy reach.
Same bike as mine! I am a new rider but do you find you get a bit achy after an hour or so and need a break?
Hello, I don't find it too bad after an hour but often stop every now and then on a longer rides of 2-5 hours anyway (food, fuel, veiws or visting something). I think I get more aches and pains driving my car or sitting in an arm chair for an hour or so but that's more of an age thing. Also I think it does take a little while to get accustomed to riding, whether completely new to it or even riding different motorbikes. Plus I used to (and occasionally still do) ride pushbikes for hours, so the classic 350 with it's generous seat and suspension is a bit of a luxury.
I come from a cycling background too and can ride a push bike for a couple of hours with no issues but the C350 has me feeling pretty sore across the shoulders after an hour or so. It must be because I'm new to it, much more weight than a push bike, I obviously need more practice! Thanks for the videos though, I will keep watching 👍
@@l0ner1derAre you gripping the bars tightly? Sounds like you’re too tense.
@@jimstenlund6017 it could well be, consciously trying to relax my upper body now and feeling the difference
@@danieljudd2519 Remember ‘piano fingers’ on the controls, not a tight grip.
gosh this looks great in black
I've just started doing the same as you on my new Bullet 350. No speaking, just me riding around and recording it. It's good fun isn't it! Keep it up mate. I recently added the DNA filter and airbox cover and I'm going to fit the Hitchcock's decat pipe next month. The filter made a big difference.
Thanks. Nice bike the Bullet. I do enjoy the messing around with recording, I just started recording with the 360 camera earlier this year for my own entertainment the and was quite surprised anyone watched my youtube stuff (but it is nice that they do)... I do now attempt to make it a bit more interesting for people (still, without talking) and have learned quite a bit in the process.
@@leighcoulson2148 There are lots of us out there with Enfields that enjoy watching other people riding their own apparently. I was also surprised that so many people like to view my videos. Seems to be mainly Indian viewers according to my analytics....which makes sense.
I live in Spenny mate. 😂 I love my classic.
Yeah, they're really nice bikes and we're fortunate to have plenty of nice roads to ride on, in Durham and the surrounding counties.
I live at stanley, live footage how you get such good sound on your insta360 👍
Hello. I use a Movo wireless mini duo microphone and a mic adapter from Insta 360. You can get the Movo system for around £50 (from Amazon) and the adapter for around £10 (from the Insta 360 store), so it's one of the cheaper options but works fine. I've moved the mic around in different positions on the bike but settled for attaching it to the rear of the canvas pannier on the Classic 350 to capture the exhaust sound but you could use it to speak into etc as well.
Thanks will have a look cheers 👍
I have one 1980s classic Royal Enfield Bullet of My father's which I customized n he still drive everyday evening in our village n I have 2009 classic which I got when I started College but it's Sound as Dugg Dugg Dugg Dugg I love the most ,,funny is when I was in 2nd year of Bachelor's i went to college on Yamaha sports kind of motorcycle of friend and 1st year Girls sent msg through our class girls that don't come on this bike because your Bullet is best n suits you 😂😂😂😂 ,,, Royal Enfield's Bullet's it's not only Motorcycle instead its Emotions now ,,,
great., thanks,
Sexy bike ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Man that colour and design loving it..... Drove honda before but always loved to have this bike ..... This bike diff variant was used in indian army and now in police ..... Cane in color of metalic brown .... And i remember back , dad used to drop me off at school and at night when he comes back this exhaust sound i knew he came back before he even parked ..... I will get one soon
Casually drives across what is likely a thousand or more year old viaduct and right through a centuries old town. We don't have such things in North America.
Wonderful landscape, road and motorbike! I would love to ride my RE classic there now.
Agree 😃The roads in this area (Derwent Reservoir - Northumberland and Durham borders) are well suited to the classic 350.
Nice looking ride. Notice you're running CooperB bar risers. I'm thinking of doing the same. How do you find them in terms of comfort?
The bar risers make quite a difference. I liked the look and feel of the original riding position but my old arthritic body parts weren't so keen. I was getting quite a bit of pain in my wrists, hands, shoulders and neck after 40 - 50 miles. After fitting the bar risers I can do double (or triple) that without much discomfort. Your'e still not upright but they make quite a difference. I also angled the bars back a little (moving the little guides out of the way). They're a little bit of a faff to fit, you'll need a bike jack, drop the forks etc and it's easier if you have an assistant but well worth it for me. They're a reasonable price and don't look too bad either.
@@leighcoulson2148 Cool, thanks. Weirdly, I bought a pair of the bar extenders before I actually bought the bike! It was just a spur to get me to commit to the purchase. Anyway, I'm in two minds or not whether to fit them as I''m experimenting with different grips to see if that makes a difference, and like you, I like the look of the originals, they're just a tad too low. I did swap out the seat though for the 'premium deluxe' touring version which is wider but still stepped and more comfortable.
Hi Leigh I’ve got the exact same bike arriving in a couple of days, would it be possible to share the route you have taken. Cheers Paul
Unfortunately I can't post a map directly in here. The whole route was quite a complicated affair, keeping to smaller twisty roads from Durham, however most of the video just shows a relatively small section between Grinton/Askrigg/Muker (with a little bit showing Raby Castle and the road from Richmond to Reeth, another great motorcycling road). Anyway the twisty section was from: Grinton - along Swale Hall Lane (from a very small road junction just south of the Swale and B6270 junction in Grinton ...however this bit is very narrow and very steep in places ...it is possibly to join this road west of Healaugh if you want to bypass this bit) , this road continues but its designation changes to Low Lane and High Lane, then Long Road (heading to Askrigg), it's quite a climb. As you descend nearing Askrigg you meet another road at a T junction (Cross Top), from there you turn north again (almost back on yourself), along the aptly named Cross Top Road. This road meets the B6270 between Muker and Gunnerside. From here I continued on through Gunnerside to Feetham. At Feetham there's a small road heading up out of the village to Langthwaite. However as an alternative, the road to Reeth is very nice too. There's so many other great options in this area (To the west and north - Hawes, Thwaite, Buttertubs,Tan Hill, The Stang and to the south into Nidderdale etc)
Thank you for that most helpful 👍
