Bury St Edmunds and Krazy Horse's Fine Selection of Motorcycles!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2021
- After a lot of very kind recommendations, we ride over to Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds. This is a real destination dealership, with an incredible selection of motorcycles and motorbike clothing. From Indians, to Fantics, MV Agustas and custom bikes- this is a superb place to get some inspiration for your next bike, or some of the best looking gear on the market. It also has a nice looking coffee shop, that was unfortunately temporarily closed when we went!
The boots Monika liked were the Forma Crystal ladies boots- they were so nice she bought a pair.
I have an issue starting my Bonneville and demonstrate a quick and easy way to get it started (hack). This is one of the very few known faults with this era of Bonneville and I was kindly tipped off on this hack by a fellow Bonneville owner in Australia.
With the Triumph working again, we head off to Bury St Edmunds for a coffee.
I have a Q&A style vlog coming up soon, so if you have any questions about any bikes I've tested, about biking in general, or about me, please do write the question in the comments and I'll answer them in the UA-cam Q&A video.
I hope you enjoy it!:)

I've made it just about a habit to click on your video, then "Like" it before I even watch it. You and Monika are that good. I love getting to spend a part of my day with y'all. Cheers from the US.
Thanks you so much!🙂🙌🙌
Always a good watch… and I love the irony with the email via phone box scene 🤗❤️
Never boring, glad I found this channel
Thanks for introducing us to krazy horse, I live 15 miles from Bury and didn’t know it existed, I was in Bury last week too
Really interesting video, thanks
Glad you found it interesting Jennifer- so often these places are just down a side road that we've driven past many times, but just have no idea about!
How many favourite bikes do you have. 😀. Love the video. Monika is a fantastic film maker. Thanks for posting. All the best.
I do try to stay level headed with my "favourite bikes"- but every time I get carried away!😆
Thanks so much Paul- I've passed this on to Monika🙂
Freddie....I gotta admit that I LOVE your content! You got your own unique thing going on. And there are many who like this sort of thing. I never would of thought what you do is something I would enjoy to the fullest. Yet here you are. Unforeseen. Rather like my Wife. Never knew what I liked or loved truly until it appeared before me. Your videos are similar to that perspective. Anyways , Thanks so much to you and Monica. Who is like Batman's " Robin". Who is part of what makes Batman so special. ;-) Keep on doing what you two do. It IS much appreciated.
Thank you so much, I'm delighted you're enjoying the content! And you're absolutely right- Monika does 70% of the work🙂
Whilst I admire your ghetto fix on the Trumpet, one day it won't work no matter what you stick in there. A new solenoid is really easy to fit and only £41.17 from wemoto.
I've been meaning to visit Crazy Horse for a while, going to commit to it now. Another brilliant video, look forward to the q&a.
Good advice.
Absolutely agree with you Paul. Interesting, the issue is actually the ignition barrel. I thought it was the solenoid so bought and fitted one, that didn't sort the issue, so I went to a mechanic who, after a LOT of looking, diagnosed it as a faulty ignition barrel. As a new barrel is around £220, and because the issue only happens once every 20 or so rides, for now I'll just live with it.
Thats right its not opening closing.
@@FreddieDobbs I didn’t see that coming, I thought it was the solenoid too.
If I recall correctly bridging the terminals on the starter solenoid doesn't work if the solenoid is faulty, so that means that the problem is actually the starter solenoid relay. I've done the same thing with a screwdriver on an older Honda I had.
We have it the other way round, I used to buy stuff from Sportsbikeshop and loved their customer service & gear but the duty prices now killed any purchases while they last. Really enjoyed the video again ✊🏻🏍
Monika has great taste in coffee shops ☕ 🥧
These Vlogs are so blissfully different to the norm! I believe we may have an Indian summer to look forward to and perhaps a few more destinations on the Triumph before winter sets in. 😊
Thanks so much Sam! And fingers crossed for an Indian summer- we need one!🙂
It works the other way round... if I buy from UK, I also pay about 30% more by the time I have it in my hand here in 🇨🇭.
Once again a top video, Thanks.
So frustrating!
Your videos make me want to visit the UK so badly. I went briefly when I was 15 in 1998 but never as an adult and never too far outside the city. Oh, and now I want to sell my bike for a Triumph as well.
I do complain about the weather a lot, but I love it really!😆
Just subscribed to your channel and was flicking through your videos and came across this one of my home town. Prior to the the Covid thing my daughter worked in the Krazy Horse Cafe, yes good food and coffee.
Hi Freddie
No question today just wanted to keep supporting and enjoying your content!
Thank you!
Another great vlog. I love the lifestyle focus rather than just being about bikes.
Some questions for the Q&A...
Why did you choose the Bonneville?
Why did you start riding and how long ago?
If you could trade in your Bonneville for any of the bikes you have ridden then what colour Speedmaster would it be?
Thanks very much!🙂
Thanks again, Freddie! Bury is definitely on my list of places to visit on my next trip to England.
By the way, I really dig the way you dress! Your clothes are so simple and casual, yet the effect is always elegant. Biker or not, every young dude should dress like you.
9.15 You're right. My Great-Uncle assures me that's indeed a leaf spring, but much spiffier and simpler than the one he spent half a term diassembling and reassembling in 'Industrial Arts' class in 1959-60.
I really like the relaxed style of presentation and roadtrip vibe.
Only just discovered your channel and what a gem it is. You have a real “TV presenter” vibe, in the best way, super professional and think you could be hosting a television show in no time. Love your vibe man, keep killing it
After emigrating from Cheshire to tropical North Queensland about 20 years ago I was just thinking how nice it would be to ride around the green and pleasant land until you made the comment about the good old English weather. 😁
🤣
Freddie you are a star, your videos are amazing and I love your enthusiasm for life. Every video you post I watch straight away, and Monika your artistic vision and style you film and edit really makes these so great to watch, it’s a treat. Can’t get enough. Keep up the good work! And keep making these! I can see you both doing amazingly well on UA-cam 😁🙏
Another excellent story telling video
I've bought from Germany and found that it's VAT plus a brokerage fee for the VAT that we are paying. Feels the same as tariff though. Keep em coming.
Interesting!
After seeing your bike videos in Tenerife, i was surprised to see you done a video in my local town! Might have to go to Krazy Horse one night on my new RE Interceptor when there is a meet.
Your starting the bike with a screwdriver on the starter reminded me of my old CB125 in the late 1980’s. It did the same thing as yours and I used to start it with a 2 pence piece across the terminals 😂
Lovely to see you in the area, Freddie!
Bury and Krazy Horse were a recent discovery for me too (well, pre-Covid). It's a lovely 60 minute ride for me. I might well head up there today! Hmm... looks like rain though... BOO.
Since you're in the area I'll recommend my more regular ride taking in Maldon and then on to Burnham-on-Crouch.
Burnham is known with local bikers because of the 'Burnham Bends' on the way there (and because it's a nice destination).
Park up at the monument next to the Cabin Dairy and wander down the quay and around the town. Lovely day.
If you're going near Colchester give me a PM and drop in for a coffee at my place ;) Me and the missus would be glad to host you and Monika.
Thank you so much David, really appreciated!🙂
Can't even compute the amount of beautiful bikes. That battleship grey color seems to be everywhere nowaday's. Leafspring indeed. Nothing better than after a hard day's work settle down and watching a new Dobbs video!
Thanks very much!
Q1. Planning on moving to England and having a bike as my only transport vehicle (my work would be in London but I won't stay there). Smart choice or nah?
Q2. Why don't you try more dual sport bikes!? Loved your off roading 😁
Q3. Why don't you teach Monika how to ride, It would be very exciting!
Thanks for the questions Dimitris!
Great vid mate. When crazy is spelt with a “k”, you know it’s going to be good! Keep up the good work.
Agreed!🤣. And thank you Christopher!
Great video, I think you stumbled into a superior looking coffee shop, destination. Freddie, here’s a fun, good natured question for you … “when and how do you wash your bike?” “Any special products?” 😆 we enjoy your exceptional channel , sincerely Murph, (formerly Brian says make it right ) updated my Icon to a photo of my Speedmaster , love that bike
Thanks very much for the question Murph! And loving the new pic!😍
I'll certainly be checking out Krazy horse when up that way.
Another good place that worth a look up that way is TTT motorcycle village in Sudbury, good selection of bikes and a cafe
Thanks Danny!
I'm one of those expats miss blighty in the 🌞🏖️..... Happy memories.
Great vlog again Dobbs... Love my Indian scout, can't see me changing it.
Q - worst bike ridden and why?
Q2 - What do you both do for a living?
Sorry if this has been asked before.
Enjoying the channel, thanks for the content 😁👍
Thanks very much Roo!
I’m over Brittany for three weeks and the weather is just as cr__p. Thanks for the video!
Only now finding your channel,
Great content 👌🏻
I enjoyed that vlog, hope you don't mind but I have to say Monica is stunningly beautiful ❤️, please don't be offended . Keep the vlogs going well done
I agree, she's absolutely lovely
Not only that, but actively involved in and supportive to (well, fundamental to, really) his favourite (I'm assuming) passtime! Lucky man!
That's very kind of you to say so and really nice to hear- I've shared this with Monika, thank you!🙂
I love these videos, Freddy. I want to return to the UK sometime before the end of the year or the beginning of the next. Thanks for sharing some nice info on places to visit when I do.
-Michael
Chicago, IL
Delighted you're enjoying the content, thanks Michael! And good luck with your return to the UK!🙂
Great vlog again Freddie. Yes the Indian was leaf sprung along with many cars and trucks well into the late 50’s. I’m lucky enough to ride in amazing weather and scenery in the South West of France. I still love seeing some of the beautiful UK countryside though despite not wanting to return. Keep enjoying yourselves on your travels.
Thanks for this- that's the first leaf spring bike I've seen! I don't blame you not wanting to return from the SW of France- I absolutely LOVE that part of the world🖤
Visit sammymiller.co.uk (museum) in Hampshire. It’s a while since I visited but I think you’d really enjoy yourselves looking at the amazing collection of historic motorcycles. Also if you want to see some of my hand tooled leather work on my last Harley visit me on Instagram @creativelynuts and scroll through to see some of my saddle work. Take care Phil
Glad you made it to Bury st Edmunds! Should have said, I would have said hello.
I'm not a biker but you make it look like it might be worth trying. (68 years old from Buckinghamshire). Especially in that area.
I've put a deposit down at Triumph Newcastle freddie on a new Triumph 2021 Street twin as I've got a 2012 Bonville 2012 I'm getting it in October as I put my deposit on it in May love your honest reviews loved the way you showed people how to start there bike if they had problems thankyou I feel like you've been like listening to an honest friend to help me pick my bike yours sincerely
Ian Gilmour
Thank you so much Ian!:). And good luck with the new bike purchase and 865 sale!
Oh wow! Mid-life crisis heaven! 👌 Pop a few quid in a tin every week, Freddie, then you can head back to Krazy Horse when your time comes (for come, it will 😆). That tango orange metal-flake job would look great in my living room, right where the telly currently sits.
I was thinking I need to pop out to get a spare change jar!😆
I had a pair of Forma motorcycle boots, very comfortable until the sole came loose, now it's a flip flop. That modified Kiwi Indian was painted by the UK's top custom painter at Pageant Paint, a very talented guy. Have you ever visited M&P accessories in Swansea? An incredible place, stopped off for the day when i was on my honeymoon, well worth the visit.
Bugger, I hope Monika's Forma boots hold up better!😆. Thanks John- never been and I've just added this to my list!:)
As an Irish-American I'm always thinking of touring Ireland. But after seeing a lot your videos as well as Julian Mcdonnell's ( Joolz Guide ) I would rather visit England.
Great program
Nice one Fredster. I’m glad you two got over to Bury St Edmunds and visited KH. I went on Thursday for their bike meet and guess what, it was raining 🌧 too 😒Still, a decent turn out considering the forecast.
Glad you made it over on Thursday! I've almost given up on the good weather returning!🤬
Hello Freddie, Monika, like you we decided to have a ride out to Krazy Horse only to find the cafe closed (no mention on their web site) but 11 miles away going south on the A14 we discovered the Hungry Stag IP30 9FX a really fabulous cafe, extremely clean, friendly staff and awesome food, so next time you are up, somewhere else to try.
Loved the video and just order the boots from Krazy I am sure they will get them in for you, about time Monika gets to show off her gear, loved the jacket she tried on also, more expense.
This is a great tip- I've just saved the Hungry Stag to my list, thank you Richard!
I wanted to order the boots from Crazy Horse, but it was a two week wait, and we're off to Devon so Monika really needs them in time for that. I would've liked to support Krazy Horse, so it's a shame I didn't buy from them!
Another great vid Freddie, I’ve been to BstEdmunds a few times, never on my bike but love the place, from Chelmsford I reckon it should be a decent ride. If you ever get to Bristol check out Fowler’s , another great bike shop, lots of bikes, gear and a decent cafe 👍
Thanks very much Mark, I've just saved Fowlers to my list!🙂
Keep up the good work, you and Monika! Love the variety and gear reviews! I test rode the Indian scout bobber a couple weeks ago and it was quite impressed!
Thanks!🙂. They are great bikes!
Krazy Horse bike night first Thursday of the month, also just up the road from Ipswich Stonham Barns bike night currently every Thursday, a few food vans and a bar, 400 bikes on a sunny day. Cheers Freddie, Monica.
Wow, thanks for sharing this, Dave!
Hi Freddie, great vid, always very relaxed, I like your style and your solenoid hack… keep up the good work…
Thanks Jeremy!
You are a mechanical genius!!.. 👍
Hi Freddie. I also click ‘like’ before watching a vlog because I know I will. You and Monika make such professional, interesting and fun films.
One question I have please, what model of the Elsen sunglasses do you use? I find their website quite confusing. Cheers 👍
KH is my favourite destination. Yes that’s a leaf spring.
Would love to see some more content from the South Coast, I live down here and know plenty of awesome places for you to make content!
Good vid Freddie, I like the Krazy Horse stuff, custom kulture and car and bike culture is being squeezed in this modern age and so good to celebrate it 😎 as long as it lasts 😬
Thanks JB!
Freddie, congratulations on 9K subscribers! And YES - It was a Leaf Spring!! Not a lot of people know that....
Thanks very much!🙂
I livre about an hour from Bury St Edmunds and Krazy Horse is one of my favourite dealerships. Did you miss the second huge showroom (with all the new Indians and Morgan cars) on the other side of the road about 50 metres down?
Hi Freddie, worth noting that in addition to tariffs, UK consumer rights do not apply if you buy from an EU supplier. I’ve just spent nearly a month getting my money back on some returned boots from a major EU vendor. Got there in the end but it was painful.
Very eye opening- thanks for sharing this as I had no idea (it's a bit scary!)
It's as if Paul Bettany was into motorcycles.....(maybe he is)! Great video. 👍🏼
Thank you!😆
Questions for your Q&A Freddie
1. When did you first get into biking?, and what was your inspiration for doing so?
2. What bikes have you had since learning to ride?
3. Do you have a biking hero?, and who would that be?
4. When you’re not making great videos what do you do?
Thanks a lot and looking forward to the next video.
Thanks very much!
Another great vlog 👍
Thanks Simon!
another good lifestyle video ;; i have been buying harley parts macna gloves and other items from abroad where the seller has included uk vat at 20 percent and have had to pay no extra taxes or customs duty , so check the adverts to see the terms before buying ;
Very good to know- thank you for sharing this, Simon!
Questions. Hi Freddie, Just wondering about your thoughts on safety. Ild love to wear all the cool gear like yourself , maybe I would if I lived in a city where you never get up to much speed anyway but, like the cool helmets and boots, they’re not up there with the most protective of gear. I’m not talking about a full race suit but like to feel that if I come of then I’ve got a chance. Like the boots your looking for Monika, very nice agreed, but in an accident, they ain’t gonna do much . Love the channel. Cheers
Hi Scobe,
Apologies I missed this one! Regarding the gear, I can't argue with you that the full leathers and high boots would be safer, but the extra enjoyment and freedom I get from wearing comfy lifestyle gear outweighs it for me. I just wasn't a fan of always having to wear so much protective gear for every ride, and then change out of it when I arrive at my destination.
I know I do probably sacrifice some safety, but I'll just have to accept it:)
I hope that helps!
You should go to Colchester Kawasaki, they have some nice bikes .
That is indeed a leafspring more or less the same sort as on a Landrover.
I had leaf springs on a classic MG Midget.
Thanks Steve!
I bought a rear rack and pannier supports for my Kawasaki W800 from Spain. The price I paid was minus the Spanish tax, but VAT and customs duties were applied when it came into the UK. When buying from EU it should be a reduced price which takes off the local tax for GB buyers. But add VAT on anything under £130 and customs duty on anything over. I think that how it works.
Thank you!🙂
My 03 750 shadow also requires the same trick on occasion
Nostalgic triumph issues!
Same problem with my benelli tornado, I just put a starter relay on that came off an Honda
yes its def leaf spring front end.
Certainly looks like leaf spring suspension. I live abroad: in two countries. Rains nearly every day in the long rainy season in one of them.
Could you get your hands on a _Husqvarna Svartpilen 401_ if possible? 😊
I've never considered this! Great idea, I'll try!🙂
@@FreddieDobbs Thanks! 🙂
Hello Freddie, just a thought, have you tried fitting a Motone Customs Headlight battery saver? It's some sort of magical wizzo techno thing that stops the main Dipped headlight from coming on straight away when starting the bike. To turn on dipped (daytime riding light) press the Full headlight rocker switch on and off again. I hope that makes sense!?
It's something to do with the bikes Cambus electronics system (whatever that is) registering even the slightest drop in current and stopping the bike from starting. Don't know if that helps, but may be worth a try. I have a 2011 Mag Wheel Bonneville and it seems to work for my bike.
Cheers Keith
Thanks so much for this Keith, I'm saving all of this very useful insight (I had no idea!)🙂
Made me laugh start of this video , I have exactly the same problem on my honda cx650 starter solenoid and I do something similar to start the bike when it happens 🤠
I think it depends where in the UK you ride re number plates...... over 60 riders were booked at Whitewalls cafe in Arundel last month or so ,for undersized plates, and .....loud exhausts !!!!
No way!! Wow, you've open my eyes (and scared me a bit!). Thanks for this insight John:)
As I have already mentioned love the content, you both compliment each other very well.
Questions for the Q and A:-
What made you both start making videos for UA-cam?
Do you both work in some sort of filming?
As you both seem to be a natural at it 😉
Thanks Darren!
@@FreddieDobbs A few other interesting/scenic places to visit along the Suffolk coast would be Alburgh Walberswick and Southwold.
Very nice little seaside towns,plenty of coffee shops for Monika.
Hope you enjoyed Bury, 25 minutes away from where I live, and a fine town.
We absolutely loved it- it's a stunning place!🙂
At 6:45 Yes Freddie, that is the new Chief. They are air cooled, and all have bobbed fenders. I'd really like to see someone make some full fenders for them. I actually like the styling of Indian Motorcycle fenders. They are the step up from the Scout without getting into baggers if you need something more than the Scout, but aren't ready for #Baggerlife yet. lol
I had no idea they were air cooled- they look incredibly good in the flesh!
Great content! Greetings from Greece (here we have always sunny weather heheh). Why don't you try other category bikes? I mean, I don't want you to mess with the retro identity of the channel but Triumph Tiger is an amazing looking one.. please try it 😉
Yes, the new Triumph tiger is a sexy bastard of a bike. And it’s triple engine sounds sexy as fook.
Thanks Dimitris! I know I really should try some adventure bikes- the Tiger and Pan America (and Africa Twin and GS) look brilliant!
Another great vlog thanks guys
Thanks Ian!
Love your videos Freddie
Thank you Garry!🙂
Freddie: Love the RST jacket, tough to get in the USA, but possible. What size are you wearing??
Hi , a nice town , and a bike shop , a scrap yard cafe for aero planes parts and man mirrors for the bath room . A great day out , it seems we have two choices , fry in the Med or rust in the UK . Did I miss some thing , which is or was your favorite bike , until the next one , which ever , ride and stay safe you two and awaiting Monika on the dance floor in the boots .
Blimey, you sound like a barrel of laughs.
@@gdfggggg IF this is directed at ALL@SEA RPW I am sat here the weather is crap and not @ sea on my rib , the markets are slow , and Freddie an Monica popped up , their great for a laugh as their enthusiasm is always infectious and all ways enjoyable . Monika is so good with the camera shots and I see the gear casings forming the legs on the coffee table and my mind just gets sucked in to the video . Once through my arms around a piece of metal at work , exclaimed this would make a leg , center stand for a coffee table , can I have it ? no came a reply it, s top secret and worth around £250,000, came a reply , from the managing director off the company , if one goes missing , we will know to visit you . Putting it down very gently . If you enjoy motor bikes have a look at Saddle bags 73 , the music and scenery sucks you in and he is a man of very few words .
@@allsearpw3829 Thanks very much, and thanks for the question!🙂. I'll definitely check out Saddle Bags 73!
@@allsearpw3829 I just read my comment and I have no idea why I wrote what i wrote 🤔. I often use the tube just when I'm about go to sleep so I think I was just dropping off and didn't read the comment properly.. anyway, have a nice day.
You can't pull the wool over my eyes Freddie.
That isn't a screwdriver it is Harry Potter's wand...
Q/ As we are the same height, which would be the best starter bike (all roughly 900cc)
Iron 883
Scout 60
New T100
Cheers Gary from the Toon
I do like to think of it as a wand!😆. Great question, thanks Gary!
Re. the plate, Freddie, I have to say, you were lucky with the copper you had stop you. I've been pulled over in the past *just* for the plate being too small (same as yours). It totally depends on the copper (and their targets that month, maybe).
I'm amazed you got pulled for speeding and they then didn't tag that on. Usually, if they stop you, they will look you over and add anything else that is 'wrong'.
I do think it has to do with your attitude as well, though, so perhaps your boyish charm worked its magic! ;^)
Also has to do with the kind of bike, I think. It's pretty obvious from yours that you aren't really a problem hooligan.
Very interesting point- they may have acted differently if I was on a Huyabusa! Thanks for this insight Davod- really good to hearother opinions and experiences
Here is a question for you, have you ever ridden or owned a 1000cc sports bike like a Gsxr or Bmw, keep the videos coming Freddie really enjoy them
Thanks very much Ian!
It sounds like you guys now have a similar situation to what we have in Canada with ordering things in.
Duty fees and import taxes on everything. Especially bad for motorcycle gear and parts. Since bikes are so unpopular here, almost everything decent has to be shipped in from abroad.
It's really a big financial hit since we usually get rinsed with the always poor CAD exchange rate anyways.
Really interesting- I'd never considered how big an issue it'd be, until I start getting hit with £150+ fees. It is VERY painful!
MOTORBIKE WON'T START, FREDDIE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING 😂🤣😁👍🏾
Great vlog as per ! that is one very fluffy cat and may I say ultra clean looking in white .Crazy horse is an interesting visit I am wondering if they actually can make custom down pipes as I have a project that I can not find and exhaust for as the only ones available are mostly rotten, and as it is a v4 it´s an awkward one .You always manage to find the nicest coffee shops with magnificent selections of cakes mouth watering stuff . : )
Good question- I'd guess if they can't makes the pipes, they'd know someone who can! I'm happy because I get to ride, and Monika's happy because we get to go to lots of coffee shops- both are essential to maintain the happy balance🤣
What brake and blinkers are you running? I have a scrambler 2011 I’m trying to get rid of the chrome… Keep up the good vids...
All Motone- superb quality billet alluminium!
Perhaps their "London" branch just up the road from you in Welling could arrange some test rides for you.
I need to pop in and visit!🙂
For the Q&A: What camera/microphone setup do you use (or rather, does Monika use!) and have you tried/considered any others?
How do you do you route planning and route navigation?
How much time do you spend on this channel and are you hoping to make it your career ongoing?
How often do you get sent gear or are offered bikes to ride and how does that sort of thing come about?
Thanks David!
Why have you not repaired the starter problem of your Bonneville?
Purely because the part's £220 and there were none in stock when I gave it to the mechanic. It only happens once every 20 rides so I'm happy to live with it for now (so long as it doesn't get any worse)🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I know the feeling, easier to put it off than spend the $$$.
My wife and I enjoy your videos and having been in the UK several times I feel that your country roads are perfect for motorcycling.
I’m a new rider what advice would you of given your past self about riding, maybe it will help some of us newbies out 😂. Love your vids 🔥
Thanks Shenika- answered in this evening's vlog!:)
great bikes your the lead singer of the cold play?
great trip enjoyed it as always
Thanks Stanley🙂
Good reason to buy British then 😁
Absolutely!
Its a starter motor problem. Or likely solenoid if I remember exactly . Done this a lot especially on old tractors.
It can melt a screwdriver shaft as its a form of welding.
Side valve Indians are $A75,000 in Australia.
Leaf springs and sprung tractor seats and hand shift and foot clutch. The Indian had shifter opposite to the Harley and meant the rider had to let go ofvthe throttle.
I had a 1942 Harley in 1972. Unreal early engineering....not as primitive as the gear from the 1920s.
Ypu have to buy a big cruiser so your camera person can travel in comfort with you.
Thank you, and Monika would LOVE a big cruiser I'm sure!🙂
You’ve not been past the welling branch? Great shop.
I have many times, but for some reason I've never been in!
Cheers for the walk around KH Freddie - I've somehow never been there despite heading up towards BSE quite regularly. Did you get to stop in Finchingfield and do any of the lanes through there on your way there or home? If you've not been to Finchingfield - get yourself there on a sunny Sunday, you'll love it - especially if there's a band playing at the pub on the green
Thanks do much Arry- just saved this to my list!🙂
