I'm from the era when Triton, Norvils and what had you were common, not just in the UK (I'm from Holland). I love these bikes. But... back then most of us rode them because we could not afford the then new V7 Sport or CB750... I believe that is worth remembering too... It may look sort of romantic, but it was not.
Been riding motorcycle for well over 50 years! I look at modern bikes with riding modes, anti lock brakes and all the plastic panels and they are totally devoid of any character. Give me old bikes any day.
@@mred7030 Hi, that's my bike. The battery was flat after no use for 6 months. I moved the ignition to emergency and then it started. Believe it or not, I usually give a kick, turn on the ignition and then it starts straight away. I saw the previous videos and thought I had been left on the cutting room floor, so not all bad.
So good to see those classic bikes, as a Indian so happy to see Royal Enfield

Fixing your own bike was necessary as there was no money to pay someone else.
