And as you hear, that was with the draggy clutch 😮😂

Love it how Mr Smokey GT, nearly twists his throttle off, trying to catch an RG 😉

​@@RetroSuperbikescan't wait to get back out there ❤

Yes, keeping the smell alive... ❤

@Dangerous1906 thanks so much. I think you'll enjoy this ua-cam.com/users/shortsemnyJ0l7-y0?si=jgvGfNBrWuXrehDL

@@RG500_detectorist 👌🏻🤘🏻

@suvarbm yep. Probably saved me a lot of money in the long run, as not used an approved dealer since

@@RetroSuperbikes Metal Detecting all day in Essex!

YES!! Still good as new, after daily use from a family of 4. The touch panel does get dirty, so requires the occasional wipe down, but no we've had no problems at all with it. Obviously the smart phone connection is something we just don't use. It's a case we throw everything, every evening, clean by the morning. Thanks for watching and asking!!

Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed a snippet of fun. A bit of an unfair comparison, just found it fun, that you can see that one guy giving it handfuls of throttle 😁 All smoke and no go!! I believe the GT750 was around 60bhp, so nearly half that of the RG that I own at 108 bhp. 250 kg (550 LBS) vs 175 kg (386 lbs), so just demonstrates the progress from the production bikes of the '70s to the '80s.

@@RG500_detectorist The RG certainly is a weapon. Outstanding in its day.

​@davidryan7261 sure thing. Not to overstate it, but this thing I've created, makes the standard Rg slow 😅

@2stroketimebomb I've tried a few different ones, but Mark Dent absolutely swears by Motul 710. My oil pump is set slightly over standard, as I always think mine doesn't smoke a lot, compared to many others I've seen.

@191usinger4 I'm only used to bhp but I think 60 vs 110, but I've discovered its all down to rider and gearing 👍

@gobstoppa1633 thanks for the info. I'll contact the company and see what they say

Yes, enjoyed this one. Great ride, fantastic sounding RG. Great to see and hear another awesome machine, especially when it's ridden like it should. 👍👍👍

@RetroSuperbikes we're working on getting 4 or 5 of us out. ❤️ You'll need to follow us that day 🏍 💨

@@RG500_detectorist Sounds like a plan

Mine has SS pipes with Ally cans, and Rich has Ti pipes and Carbon cans.... Which one sounds better? TBH I think mine is a bit noisy LOL

@@2stroketimebomb Ha ha Ill have a look at your videos and let you know what I think. People say my SP1 is too noisy but they're a little effeminate 🤣

Thanks so much. Been so busy with the metal detecting!! Plus, I need to visit Nova transmissions for them to have yet another look at my problematic, squeaking dry clutch. Finally, I don't want to venture too far on my 14/44 gearing, as it's so high revving now. Flat out before you know it. Terrible for anything larger than a single track A road. That said, with all the summer nights, still here and VJMC meet coming up at Ryka's, there still plenty of time for some bike fun. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the 'double trouble' RGs. See you soon. Best wishes, Rich

To right mate ! 2 gammas what’s not to like!😆👍

Yeah!!! Good to see you. Once I've removed my moped gearing, I'll hope to see you soon...

@@RG500_detectorist yeah was good to see everyone again. Was a great turnout😎

Oh yes!!

Oh yes!!

Thanks John. Yes, shame I left early, but a great evening ❤

Look forward to catching up with you before summer is out

@user-oz6pt9yx1u yes, but they only made this type for 2 years. Not that many left now. Absolutely brilliant and unique street bike. They imported them into Canada but not the US.

Thanks, hope is nice so we can go to Canada heights love❤

​@@RG500_detectoristFriday? What's the details Rich?

Help me sort out getting my wheels and swingarm done on the other one, and you can borrow it ... 😮 😉

@@RetroSuperbikes I'll send you via Facebook

@@RG500_detectorist Ha ha yeah I wish 😂

Have to say, probably my most enjoyable ride out yet ❤

Yep, that's a 2 stroke engine... one day .... BOOOM!!

I think Inta guys might be out tonight, going down to Custom cafe. The next outing for me will be 9th at Canada heights. Then, not sure. Happy to meet up whenever. Thinking of changing my gearing to mental mode of 14/44. That'll be so much fun 😅

@@RG500_detectorist Been out on the 🍺 today day so not riding tonight. Work tomorrow and Silverstone Sunday. Is that next Friday custom cafe?

It was my sense of humour! Sorry! Sadly, the sensor on the speedo became loose causing an issue. As you'll see the speedo went crazy. Luckily I have a speedo on my phone, as a back up. I've ordered the new sensor and cable, £30 delivered.

Thanks so much! Just editing what was one of my best rides to date. Not sure whether the excitement will transfer to video, but hopefully. Epic ride to Wateringbury. Keep your eye out for it. ❤😍

@@RG500_detectorist Will do bud, who was with you?

@@RetroSuperbikes Just me. Don't need to wait around for anyone then, plus when I fall off, can crawl home without the embarrassment! 😂 Melted an old RD and a couple of other old boyz 🤣🤣🤣

Coming home tonight, thinking about going 14 front sprocket 😮😮😮😮 would be so mental 😊

@@RG500_detectorist What front is on it now?

Did you change the brake switch? هل غيرت مفتاح الفرامل؟

@@RG500_detectorist لم اخيره ولكن أحيانا يعود للعمل بمجرد إرطام العجلة بحفرة

@@oussamachokri28 Sounds more like a faulty sensor connection at a wheel, than this brake switch issue. يبدو الأمر أشبه باتصال مستشعر خاطئ على العجلة، أكثر من مشكلة مفتاح الفرامل.

😅😅😅 Not sure about this one 😉 ua-cam.com/users/shorts0bQZZK_E9Zo?si=o8UfdYhFYBPZSpIK

Definitely some suspected harm on this one. I think the CBR's pride 😅😅 😉 ua-cam.com/users/shortsEaLrAZLyqVw?si=KnJMP5Zfry-SKX4u

Can you solder them on?

Me too! Both great bikes, but for me, only one keeper 😉

@@JohnSmith-sj2dk surely the RD?

@ThomasDoubting5 Cheeky bugger lol, I had a black water cooled (rz350) with a nervous front end, and a white red water cooled (great bike, loved it) full fairing (rz350 fn)., but the RG was next level power/weight ratio and fun factor..

​@JohnSmith-sj2dk always dreamed of the fn version. I had the bikini faired 350ypvs, but back then, one with a full fairing was, in my mind, a proper race bike. Cracking bikes, but as you say the RG has that next level of 'oomph'. A standard RG is quite tame. This one at 110bhp is just right for power to fun ratio. ❤ thanks for watching. Hope it took you back, to great memories 👍

Yep, we were privileged to see those 3 race bikes started. Loved it. Proper, little event. I see there's another just up the road this weekend. National Motor Museum, Beaulieu

Thanks so much. So pleased to hear that you enjoyed watching. The ride there and back wasn't the best this year. A bit damp in places going down and some awful traffic coming back, but what a fantastic event. It made for a brilliant day.

Thanks so much for watching. So pleased that you enjoyed the epic bikes. Such an unexpected, privilege to hear these start up. To hear and even chat to Sammy was the cherry on the top. Belfast boy is a true legend ❤️ 😊

Thanks for watching. Lovely to see the Tuned RG400. ❤

So pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. It was a great ride. All being well, we're off to Sammymiller.co.uk 2 stroke day tomorrow. Should be another awesome ride. Over 200 miles 😮 I'll post the new video when ready, but to give you an idea, I'll find last year's. Went on my own last year but this year, there should be a few of us 👍

2023 at Sammymiller.co.uk was awesome 👌 ua-cam.com/video/AMDtZAjP5Ss/v-deo.htmlsi=LuHIPQBV3Rx6wB9I

Hi. It is truly amazing and bewildering just how much has been dropped. The odd field may not turn up much, but amazingly in most cases, I found any and every field will deliver some coins. I believe it is purely down to the 1000s of years that we've been occupying this land. Recently I have been detecting land near a very old Manor house. I found a gold Edward III quarter Noble coin (circa 1330-1376). Amazing! A few fields along, we found over 100 coins, mainly from the turn of the 19th century, but a few older. So to directly, answer your question, I don't think a market needs to have been held and I think in the case of these fields, it's just the population over the centuries. In the case of the 100 coins, yes maybe an annual event occurred. It is similar here, if you can detect, then get a field ploughed, then it's like a brand new field to detect, you're certain to find more. I always thought of the US and Australia were the places to find the buried "Gold" treasures, but actually the UK is packed with dropped items. You literally find at least one coin on ever outing. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experiences. Happy hunting!!

Maybe check out my Facebook group. Go to photos and you'll see the 100s of coins and other amazing finds, since December 2023. facebook.com/groups/656190973168659/?ref=share

@@RG500_detectorist Thanks for the explanation about how those coins got in that feild ..still seems odd to me but 1000s of years with people walking around with coins it makes sense i guess ...Yes Id say you have the better metal detecting opportunity in Europe than we have in the USA.for sure and I'll check your Facebook ....

@@bri-hq4on I've heard that the invention of pockets in clothing wasn't until 1700s

Hi Vivienne. The Minelab Vanquish, I heard, is literally the same technology as the Equinox, but is much simpler to use. Personally, I'd go with that. Maybe join our group on Facebook, South East Detecting. We've got lots of members to ask, who use them.

The Vanquish has more features but I'd double check which one is waterproof. I think the Vanquish may not be.

Absolutely! I played with one of these in the twisties of Gloucestershire. A good friend and excellent rider. I was on my RG, but with everything original, except the engine and pipes. Totally ran circles around it, except for my lack of braking into the corners. With the Brembos now fitted, that would be sorted. I am yet to find a new bike that I would totally bow to, saying "Wow, that is quick". This is on the roads, not a track.

Thanks for confirming. So funny a guy at work who owns a CBR said it was an R1 🙄
