They are an amazing bike and so versatile, glad you love it , miles of smiles.

I agree with you and I did that exactly.

I have let it run for the next 24 hrs or more, on setting 2 of the 6 settings and will see how it copes and to see how long it lasts on a gallon or 4,55 Ltrs of Diesel from my local garage at £1.34 a Ltr .

The Alpine had wider seats and looked more like a lotus style to me but as for getting in and out, both the Alpine and the MX5 I think they are as bad as each other depending on your agility ,I will admit falling in to them is a lot easier.

Hi ..totally agree with you about the designers of bikes today tooo much plastic , if you drop a big modern bike you need a second mortgage to get it fixed ,that's why i like the Triumph T90 ,if l drop it or scratch it I am not going to be too upset because its a cheapish fix but these plastic bikes now cost a fortune to service and repair. The NT700 is a great bike it ticks a lot of the right important boxes . Remember the art of salesmanship is convincing the public they need the gimmicks on the bike even though we don't. The 1080p quality has been a pain in the last year or so, I do upload it at 2k but film it in 4k but I have noticed that early on the higher bitrates don't switch from 1080p in fact I checked a video and it was being shown at 720p yet I uploaded it in 4k. you have to got to change the youtube screen settings and change it to 4k.

They do look the same , hope yours is as good as mine , l use it a lot these days and its been a great addition to my caravan and camping equipment with the car and also been useful for using it in the garden where there is no electricity.

@@Baggyarse It’s a basic unit, no app, no Bluetooth, no different charging rates but a lot of bang for the buck, I paid £800 on Amazon (8/24) and it’s primarily for use in our VW camper in the winter when solar is scarce but I seem to be finding other uses for it too, as for reliability we,ll have to wait and see. 👍🏻🇬🇧

The seams were definitely not sealed well, but it did let less water in than my cheap Lidl tent . I have bought a new tent, going to try it out this week will do a vid its a Eurohike Ribble 2 some good reports about it . Thanks for watching .

Yep ..in a heart beat.

Yes , been collecting bottles and the vine is looking good ,also plan to do Rhubarb wine if we get enough.

Could you please shoot a longer video about the stomping grapes process? Because I've been working on a class project introducing the traditional way of wine making and I am seeking for this kind of footage. I really appreciate it if you could do me a favor. 🙏🏻Best wish with you and your family

Cheers will have a look at the needle position ,I didn't know that they have needle sizes thanks for the tip.

It did have that feel of the choke being on , not used to or have any experience of these Amal carbs , but will look at that ,thanks for the tip.

@@Baggyarse That sounds absolutely terrible! I had a Triumph T21, which has the same engine, about 50 years ago . . . . it was quite gutless but it did run very smoothly. My recollection of the choke is that you turn the lever clockwise, to put tension on the cable, to lift the choke out of the carburettor just like the throttle cable lifts the throttle slide out of the carburettor. In that case, it looks like William's comment is spot on because the choke lever looks about as far anti-clockwise as it will go. Another pointer is the fact that the engine did not run too badly at the start of the video, when the engine may have been cold and needed some choke, but ran progressively worse through the video, presumably as it warmed up. My recollection of my Triumph T21 and Norton 850 Commando is that they both needed a good tickle to start when cold but I never needed or used the choke . . . . something that should have been deleted because it was just another thing to clutter up the handlebars and go wrong.

Well this is the thing , when I bought it ,the engine sounded fine as it did ticking over and revved up ok and I took it home on the back of my trailer. I did add fresh fuel and new spark plugs, but that short ride coked them up very quickly. I checked the choke mechanism at the handle bar and that does appear to be normally mounted on the left side of the handle bar on other Triumph's, but in my case its on the right, so to pull the cable and activate the choke mechanism you pull the lever in a clockwise motion, that being going from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock ,which tightens the cable which makes perfect sense as any other carb be it Chinese or Japanese activates in the same vane. I appreciate all criticisms and advice as l am on a learning curve with these bikes.

I wanted to see how it ran before I do anything ...no stress for the bike only me .

Hi they are a simple 12 volt on my Eriba . I am not a great fan of electrics but I think this connection is easy to fit for any novice ,each spade connector on the back of the Truma outlet is marked + and -- or if you can't see its positive on the left spade looking at the back and finally the positive terminal is thinner than the Negative one. Hope this helps. One thing I am not 100% sure on and please correct me if l am wrong but if you do wire it the other way around with your connectors I wonder if the pump works in reverse ?

Ok thanks. Just not too sure on the connections on the back of the current connector. Looking at similar images of my inlet the electrical wires are connected with a screw

That is a beautiful bike , I loved the detail you put into everything from the thin red line on the wheels to the brackets and I like what you did with the hand pump. The paint is excellent. I think a lot of people enjoyed your bike . Thankyou for sharing it with us.

Any make you like but check out the performance first.

Hi yes every 3750 miles check the valve clearance , such an easy job.

If it’s not too much to ask could you film more servicing videos on the hanway? There’s little to none information on these bikes online, thanks!

Yeah I did think it was a mad moment for the crew to stick his face near it an blow ....

Thanks Jodyrides , Yes these bikes are truly amazing and despite the ages and mileages put a lot of newer bikes to shame , I like touring and have tried bigger bikes like the Honda ST1100 and found them great on the highways but hard work in towns. The Deauville to me is a true Adventure bike because you can still do a lot of home mechanics yourself that you cannot do today . Bikes standing for a long time are always going to throw problems at you and fuel tanks are my biggest pain in the arse . I have a couple of Honda VT125's (One is mine and the other is the wife's ) that because both tanks were so rusted, I chose to buy a brand new one and search far and wide for a better one . I also have just bought a 1965 Triumph T90 and the tank is ok at the moment but its going to need some work eventually. But these Deauville's are simply simple , you can ride to the shops fill the panniers up and poke a baguette in for good measure and then the next day ride 400 miles and get off the bike without moaning about back ache and a numb arse unlike my Harley Sportster which kills me after 20 mins down the road . You can service them with basic tools and there are a lot of TH-cam how to videos to show you. You can fit 70/30 tires on these bikes and take it off road ,There's a Spanish chap who does just that and superb videos too. Its light enough to maneuver in tight spaces but heavy enough to feel well planted on twisty country lanes. I do sometimes add music to my videos but not all . I actually make these videos for myself to look back on and so my kids can see a little bit of Dad.... I am a bit camera shy, hence a lot of my vids are of my hands rather than my ugly mug. Thankyou for subscribing , I am looking into doing a few more vids now the weather is getting better. I hate anything under 11' centigrade . Take care.

I think that was the best year...but l could be wrong 😊

@@Baggyarse had a 3TA too.

Three Counties Showground, Malvern, Worcestershire WR13 6NW. Kickback presents The Great Malvern Motorcycle Festival. Including custom show, classic bike exhibition, stunt bike performances and the 2024 National Championships - Builders' Builder Awards.

They are a classic bike and with a big following, even after so many years out of production. Thanks for watching.

You most definitely should otherwise you will never know what your missing and what you are looking for in a motorcycle.

.

That's your choice , its my van and l doubt very much l would ever keep it standard ,already thinking of adding another panel. l do have a stand alone fold out panel, but have not required to use it just yet.

Could be

@@Baggyarse definitely is

They are good buy and I think hard to beat at the moment ,but like all electrical goods give it a few months and something better will probably turn up.

Yes my friend has over 120k on his now, its been his most reliable bike ever.

They are amazing to watch

Yes will add the whole video soon .

@@Baggyarse Please add with the whole stomping video. 😀

Are you still on it?

Yep still working it.@@fishgrey6441

How is It going 😂

Working on the full video of "How we made our own wine" coming soon, got to allow fermentation for 2 weeks and then decant to the demijohns then bottle the juice ...hopefully all will be good.

@@Baggyarse we want to remember our memories when we were child. We need to hear that beautiful sounds when stomp. Good luck 🍷🍷🍷🍷

No its not going to leak , we had to endure some heavy storms at the base of the Pyrenees and we had no leaks, I never expected any, its all good.

@@Baggyarse i would have drilled the floor and glued the cable outside up the wall to the roof…

@@griswald7156 Yep that would have been ok too I guess.

I have similar on my Eriba roof with no leaks since it was installed 3 years ago

I have a controller that detects when its fully charged and shuts off the solar power , my standby power does not lose that much you may have a problem but to be sure I will check it again.

Checked mine for standby power and mine reads 99% after 16 hours so I think you have a tiny little drain somewhere.

@@Baggyarse which controller is that

My pleasure!

Thanks, will do!

@@Baggyarse Thanks a lot mate.

Good to hear!

Yeah it was knocking , you can hear it more in the video .

it was ok for underwear and the odd T-Shirt but that was about it , it depends on the detergent you used too in my opinion.

They are great bikes.

I saw a guy in Spain with an NT650 with semi off road tyres fitted and he didn't hang about on the dirt roads.

Cheers l am currently testing it off grid with 260 Watts of solar and its been a challenge, you do have to juggle the power distribution carefully, but once l finish testing l can explain in more detail.😊

@Baggyarse thanks so much for reply mate. Just received mines 2 days ago. Great so far. Ordered the all powers 200watt SP and they accidently sent me 2 (shh) so enjoying a nice upto 300watts at peak in this current sunny weather. Have fun testing and keep us informed of your findings ! Peace
