It's taken me ages to catch up with some of the older videos, I was so wrapped up with my B50SS problems. I now have a 500cc Enfield so I watched all the videos of your build. Absolute tops, Michael. It's a beautiful machine all round. Bostin' colour (as they say in these parts) and a cracking sound. I am very, very impressed with this bike. And do you know what? Watching a Yorkshire Man, in a flat cap, riding an old English trials bike has transported me back to the mid 60s when I rode schoolboy trials and everybody had English bikes. I'm going to watch this again as I sup my last bottle of Specled Hen. Thank you Michael. You're amazing Best wishes from South Staffordshire/Shropshire border countryside, England.
If that had been in black and white it could be Arthur Lampkin practicing, flat cap and all! Great video Michael makes all your hard work worthwhile. Just wait til your next meeting, you will wipe the floor with the competition on the Enfield ! You will probably get a few "Make me one's" when your pals see it go! Hope your full track dries up soon so you can have a bit more play! Cheers Dave UK
Man and machine in perfect harmony. I enjoyed that and I reckon that you did, too, Michael: well-deserved fun after all that hard work. She looked and sounded exactly as she ought to. Congratulations on a job well done!
Wow! great job. I love the look of this trial. The proportion are spot on. Mudguards, seat, handlebar, wheels and gas tank. It looks like it has plenty of torque, you nailed the sprockets combo. Again congrats. René from Trois-Rivières, Québec.
Your build came at just the right time for me building my own Bullet trials, right when I was scratching my head about where to put footpegs and how to sort out the exhaust and gear levers. We finished our builds at about the same time. I got mine on the road JUST in time to do the Durham Dales Long Distance Trial (my first ever, more points is better yeah?), one of the last UK motorsports events before lockdown hit us. I must say the bike is way more capable than I am but the weight does let it down in very muddy conditions, there were some sections I couldn't even walk the bike through. I'll definately be doing another though. If I can bully this through a section, a "proper" trials bike will be a walk in the park.
This bike already looked good in your work shop. But it looks even much better, seeing it driving around. Also sound is much better outside. I´m jealous but thanks for showing this.
I have been looking forward to seeing this - a great conclusion to the brilliant Bullet building youtube series. Well done Michael, and thanks for the inspiration!
Micheal, I’m so impressed with your build I fancy doin one fer miself, but finding Redditch Enfields at reasonable cost ain’t so easy. At 70 my days of long distance trials are finished, but pre 65 sounds like a hoot. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Back in the seventies I guess, the bike club I was in had a run to the Bacon brothers farm and sampled some of their collection round their back yard. I had a ride on an ex works 350 Enfiel trials bike. Lovely smooth well balanced bike.
I'm tempted to buy a Enfield Bullit trials after watching you on that,here in the UK Hitchcock's do tuning kits for the enfield bikes👍 thanks for the video Michael 👍👍
Great first ride!! Speaking of first rides ..did you video the first ride on the Yamaha 3 cylinder Commando??? I looked for it and didn't find it. how did that one work out??? Keep up the GREAT work!!!
From my experience of riding trials back in the 60s, usually held in some farmers field knee deep in mud, having the front mud guard so close to the tyre would result in a totally clogged up mess. However, the bike looks and sounds great.
If that could get the grip it would pull you up a side of a cliff, Reminds of when I was teenager with my cotton 170 ,nickel frame and all polished up and later on when I was a marshal in our local bike club , trials scrambles, sprints ,and road racing in aberdare park and in pembrey circuit we signed with midlands racing club although being in our own welsh club ,happy days great memories

Oh my days! That bike is every bit as lovely as it promised to be. And you have a lovely "playground" to test it on. Well done, Michael.......
That looks awesome Mike and such a nice property. Love the sound. Those where the days. You should be proud.
If that had been in black and white it could be Arthur Lampkin practicing, flat cap and all! Great video Michael makes all your hard work worthwhile.

You have created a masterpiece Michael! It looks and sounds great!
I am really pleased with it. Next some sections.
Looks great and sounds even better, just sad it was you and not me riding it, but then you being a young bloke I suppose it's only fair. Thanks Mike.
That's a classic riding a classic. Thanks for the video.

Good Job that Mike ....Sounds brilliant and looks the part ... You should be very proud of that build...
That looks and sounds absolutely fantastic, well done sir!
well worth the wait, great job Michael
This bike already looked good in your work shop. But it looks even much better, seeing it driving around. Also sound is much better outside. I´m jealous but thanks for showing this.
It's great to see you riding your bikes.
Trials riders do it standing up, with their cat flaps on! Nice machine, love the frame colour and the polished aluminium.
I have been looking forward to seeing this - a great conclusion to the brilliant Bullet building youtube series. Well done Michael, and thanks for the inspiration!
Hello Geoff I am pleased with the way it came out.
Micheal,
I’m so impressed with your build I fancy doin one fer miself, but finding Redditch Enfields at reasonable cost ain’t so easy. At 70 my days of long distance trials are finished, but pre 65 sounds like a hoot. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Pre 65 is a lot of fun, though the cheater bikes are getting to be annoying.
Has a lovely sound.
Looks and sounds really great.
Looks beautiful Michael another great series
Back in the seventies I guess, the bike club I was in had a run to the Bacon brothers farm and sampled some of their collection round their back yard. I had a ride on an ex works 350 Enfiel trials bike. Lovely smooth well balanced bike.
I admit that I was surprised at how well it performs, it really felt right.
Well done Jensen, great camera work
Don't encourage him.
That sound begs for a classic 3rd gear hill climb :-)
Now practice up for the Pre 65 Scottish! No excuses now. Plenty of time to practice this year.
I don't know if I am up to riding this for two days.
@@BritanniaMotorcycles Let's put it to a vote of the Michael Waller UA-cam Channel Subscribers.
you make my day sir
Nice one, try raising the needle in the carb slide a notch or two, might get rid of that occasional lean spit
It was just cold. You may have noticed that with a couple of minutes it was running cleanly.
I'm tempted to buy a Enfield Bullit trials after watching you on that,here in the UK Hitchcock's do tuning kits for the enfield bikes👍 thanks for the video Michael 👍👍
Excellent. Looks good, sounds good and promises a lot of fun.
Great first ride!! Speaking of first rides ..did you video the first ride on the Yamaha 3 cylinder Commando??? I looked for it and didn't find it. how did that one work out??? Keep up the GREAT work!!!
I plan to get it registered this summer and then take it out.
That sounds as great as it looks! I was waiting for you to turn those pines into a slalom course, haha
They are closer together than they look.
Fantastic, well done.
Another fantastic bike-it sounds the way ALL motorcycles should sound. Just curious-what does a bike like that sell for?
From my experience of riding trials back in the 60s, usually held in some farmers field knee deep in mud, having the front mud guard so close to the tyre would result in a totally clogged up mess.
However, the bike looks and sounds great.
If that could get the grip it would pull you up a side of a cliff, Reminds of when I was teenager with my cotton 170 ,nickel frame and all polished up and later on when I was a marshal in our local bike club , trials scrambles, sprints ,and road racing in aberdare park and in pembrey circuit we signed with midlands racing club although being in our own welsh club ,happy days great memories
Looks good sounds good 👍
Beautiful, smooth running trials bike! How did you get it so right, straight out of the workshop?
What can I say Bob, we Yorkshiremen are pretty special.
Exhaust sounds mint 😁😁🤘🤘
Nice looking bike
Very nice.
i thought it was hogustus winzock by there for a minute , , , lol nice one mike.
its not quiet is it
Good job Mike !! btw have you changed the points ignition to electronic coil type ???
Yes I used the Electrex World unit that replaces the alternator.
The rear tire , is it tubeless or do you use a tube and install a rim lock ? The bike is beautiful , and I love the sound .
It is a tubed type with two rim locks. I use IRC trials tyres and find them very good at a sensible price.
I notice 4 people pressed the thumbs down button by mistake.
Oh that sound
Just Great,
Those flywheels must be half the weight of the engine!
You have to run into a wall to stall it.
Hope Jenson got a go.
He did and he said it just goes, any throttle position in any situation it just chugs along.
Nice bike !
Wring its neck !
