    Harleys are great, Kawasakis are awesome, Ducatis are amazing...but nothing beats a classic British motorcycle.
    Thanks for sharing. From Reggio Calabria, Italia.

    That’s the way I remember them, pieces falling off or being stranded. Being alone 50 miles in the woods is a bad feeling, especially walking for a couple of days out. Here your called a ridge runner ! Yep it has happened to anyone seriously going to the woods riding alone. Have Fun it’s part of the adventure !

    Fantastic video! It’s great to see a video of just riding and the sound of the bike. You’ve got some great trails there and I’ve got serious bike jealously.
    A good tip for when you get caught out with that sun setting real quick is to keep a decent bicycle light in the backpack. That way you can clip it on when you need to and it’ll probably be brighter than the original ‘57 headlamp 👍🏼

      Glad you’re digging the videos! Thanks for watching. This tank is from a duplex frame pre-unit, so 1960-62. I made some front brackets for it and welded some tabs to the rear of the tank. It’s been working really well and has taken a lot of abuse.

      I live in New England, northeast USA. Today we had a cool, brisk refreshing ride. Currently on CRF250L & my daughter has an XT250. As we were riding a dirt road we bumped in to my buddy. He was riding a 1974 Alpina, & has 9 more at home, various years.
      I love the Spanish 2 strokes. A buddy of mine owned the Vintage Trail Bike Museum in Massachusetts. Sadly, he passed away in 2022 & everything was auctioned off. Kaplan Cycles bought a few if them & you can see them on Kaplans channel.
