I own the Classic 350 in bronze & you just can't appreciate this bike until you ride it on the Yorkshire country roads. I feel a little sorry for you that you only have the flat, wide, straight roads. Although I feel sorry for myself with the weather you have. Safe riding.
I enjoyed that. Never been to that part of Texas and, now, I don't need to. ;-) The bike sounds really good. and I enjoy the fact that you're not afraid to wring it out for all it's worth. That's how a small thumper should be ridden.
Texas has some great FM, Farm to Market roads that can take you anywhere in the state you want to go without getting on an Interstate highway, Check them out.
I was riding my RT through the Rigolets, a swampy area outside of Slidell, LA Saturday. I noticed something in the road ahead of me. It was a 4-5 foot alligator crossing the road. Made me wonder, why did the alligator cross the road? Maybe he forgot his alligator wallet?
Some people always complain that these RE 350‘s are dangerously slow and you couldn’t use them on public roads in the US…😇😂 You showed them that the are fast enough to survive AND have some fun! I borrowed a 350 Classic (Halcyon Green) a many times here in Germany and survived even our Autobahn (which I do daily with my 125 scooter!) These lovely bikes may not be the fastest, but in smiles per mile they are top notch! May I ask how many miles you have now covered?
Thanks for watching, I picked this up at the end of August 2023, and now have just over 2,000 miles on it. I did the 300-mile service including the valves, but it sounds like the valves need to be checked again. I am waiting on the FuelX Lite since I'll need to take the tank off I might as well do both at the same time.
Welcome to Texas! I am moving back to Houston in July and am considering a RE classic 350 and look forward to seeing you ride in Texas. How has the heat output for you been. I am worried about texas hot days and riding with a oven inbetween my legs.
I live in Arkansas where it gets "Swamp Butt" hot, and I have a R/E Classic 350. The heat from the motor is not an issue, but the outside temp if hot will cause your speedo to stick.....Unless the new er models have that issue fixed.
@@jimglasco that's awesome, how's your experience riding it here in the states, do you feel it lacks for city use and is just a Sunday cruiser? I plan to use it as a daily driver to give my truck a break.
@@swimmerdawg123 It's a great bike for daily use, and handles city riding fine....my only concern would be a reliable theft deterent..., these bikes draw attention, and though they are inexpensive, could be some thief's dream bike.
You know with my headphones in I didn't even hear it, but now I do. I adjusted the valves at the 300 mile service, and it has about 2000 miles on it now, so while it's not scheduled for a valve service, I might need to go ahead and recheck it.
Like that you don't feel the need for music soundtrack or incessant chat. Very relaxing to just hear the sound of the wind and exhaust note. Cheers
Last time i saw one of your vids mate youd just had your accident.Glad to see you're back riding and recovered. 😊 All the best from Sheffield UK.

Great to see you back! What's your camera set up? I like the chest mount wide angle!
Thanks, it's the DJI Osmo Action 3 on chest mount, 1080/60fps, with Rocksteady
get a more free flowing full system exhaust that will open up the sound
Agree - I am thinking of doing the exhaust and the DNA airfilter
@@MotoSoup that would be a great video
The sound of the engine is like Tom jones singing sex machine
Well, you can't beat that!

What's that valve clatter ,is the valve adjustment pending 10:47

If they’re a little loose and making noise, that’s okay.
