Hi, Thanks for visiting our channel!
We started out as Benjamin, aged 11 and Edward, aged 5, with help from Rich (our Dad) and our first videos were about
- things we like
- products we buy
- places we go...
... but mainly FORTNITE, FORTNITE, FORTNITE!!!
we then started live streams of our favourite games on Nintendo Switch, XBOX ONE and now PC, which include:
MORE FORTNITE
Minecraft
Splatoon 2
But slowly slowly interested went on to other things and Dad has started highjacking the channel.
Starting with DJI drone, tech and purchase reviews, slowly the hobbies of restoring his Suzuki RG500, metal detecting and mudlarking became mainstream.
This will now be the core content of the channel.

Canada Heights 2024 bike night onboard RG500
Canada heights bike night - onboard the Suzuki RG500.
After seeing advertised on Facebook the Canada heights bike night and speaking with several people on the forums, this event seemed really popular. Being near Sidcup / Swanley. interchange the event was really local, less than a 30 minute ride. Althought the lane getting there was a bit of a challenge. Super busy with cars, gravel and dust. I was not disappointed. There were lots and lots of bikes. Lots of classic 2 strokes along with some real specials. After seeing Simon's RG500 last year, a real highlight for me. This year I went to meet Simon and two epic sounding #Suzuki #RG500's rode in together.
Simon's Suzuki RG500 is very similar to mine and it was brilliant to see and hear 2 Suzuki RG500 's side by side.
Absolutely brilliant evening out and a great ending with 2 RG s leaving together for a little blast up the A20. A great day out and the bike performed brilliantly, yet again, BUT with my new 14/44 sprocket gearing, I was simply flat out far too early and couldn't catch Simon's standard engine.

oui, 110 ch avec beaucoup d'extras. Préparé par la meilleure personne du Royaume-Uni
We've had a Series 6 for 11 years and one hinge has dropped when it's open. Still works fine and no problem when closed. Looking at the latest models as we will definitely get another Bosch. Great review.
@@paul-57 many thanks for your feedback
Thank you sir! You saves me. That machine is 50% right now on vipon for about $75. I'm looking at a beginner Nokta.
Nokta I have not used but I hear they are great machines. To be fair to Dr Otek, I complained to them 3 years are buying this machine, that I thought it was not good and they viewed this video. They then sent me a brand new machine, BUT admitted that as a beginner machine, it may have the same issues. Therefore not good for a serious metal detectorist. This is more a child's toy. Good to hear that you have not wasted your money. With Christmas coming up, sadly I am sure there will be 100s of people caught by going budget, when for a little more, they'll save money in the long run. I upgraded to the Equinox 800. Currently on sale in the UK, with several coils for around £650. This machine has found me well over £5,000 in gold and silver, so fantastic machine. Good luck with your new purchase and good luck out there enjoying a brilliant hobby (With a good machine!)
More bikes on that prom than on douglas prom tt week 😮
Yes, was a great day out
Congratulations, lovely little Lizzy tuppence, and nothing wrong with musket balls, new sub and liked. ATB Bill and Julie X 👋 👍 🙏
@somersetsearchers thanks so much Bill and Julie. I watch a lot of your videos. Interesting and a good old relaxed West Country approach. I saw Facebook on Julie's Tshirt but couldn't find your page. I set up a little FB group this year, maybe come and check out our finds. Amazing year. The group is S.E.D - South East Detecting I think you'd like it a lot. ATB Rich. ❤️
Great video mate!!
Many thanks! Need to perfect the onboard sound, but work in progress.... 👍
The world needs more street legal big bore 2 stroke sport bikes. Amazing bike
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Check out the later videos. I think they get better 😊
Damn!!!
And as you hear, that was with the draggy clutch 😮😂
Love it how Mr Smokey GT, nearly twists his throttle off, trying to catch an RG 😉
@@RG500_detectorist madness
@@RG500_detectorist 😂
@@RetroSuperbikescan't wait to get back out there ❤
Mercedes dealers (and all car dealers) are thieves in suits. In addition to that they are dishonest. I drove my car to them. IC was shorted. They run basic diagnosis and said it is shorted out. Asked for 210 dollars. They said new IC is 6500 Dollars and a used one cannot be used. Turns out that is bs, and a used one can be used which will cost 250 off ebay.
So reminds me of times gone by, both myself and my brother had RDs and LCs, now you rarly hear a big two stroke, thankfully we both still ride bikes.
Yes, keeping the smell alive... ❤
Outstanding 👌🏻

Three minutes and wearing a suit when doing it, great job mate. What a effing ripoff attempt.

Thanks for your review, just wondering if the machine is still working ok? Heard touch panel sometimes stops working on these 😊
YES!! Still good as new, after daily use from a family of 4. The touch panel does get dirty, so requires the occasional wipe down, but no we've had no problems at all with it. Obviously the smart phone connection is something we just don't use. It's a case we throw everything, every evening, clean by the morning. Thanks for watching and asking!!
Even on the brakes you were accelerating faster than these guys.
Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed a snippet of fun. A bit of an unfair comparison, just found it fun, that you can see that one guy giving it handfuls of throttle 😁 All smoke and no go!! I believe the GT750 was around 60bhp, so nearly half that of the RG that I own at 108 bhp. 250 kg (550 LBS) vs 175 kg (386 lbs), so just demonstrates the progress from the production bikes of the '70s to the '80s.
@@RG500_detectorist The RG certainly is a weapon. Outstanding in its day.
@davidryan7261 sure thing. Not to overstate it, but this thing I've created, makes the standard Rg slow 😅
I just noticed Rich your bike smokes more than mine, what oil you using? Me Silkolene Comp 2 Plus, used it since the 80s smells Pukka too!
@2stroketimebomb I've tried a few different ones, but Mark Dent absolutely swears by Motul 710. My oil pump is set slightly over standard, as I always think mine doesn't smoke a lot, compared to many others I've seen.
75PS VS 120PS
@191usinger4 I'm only used to bhp but I think 60 vs 110, but I've discovered its all down to rider and gearing 👍
must have been a dodgy unit mines works spot on not like yours at all.
@gobstoppa1633 thanks for the info. I'll contact the company and see what they say
Nice one Rich! 💯 👊
Yes, enjoyed this one. Great ride, fantastic sounding RG. Great to see and hear another awesome machine, especially when it's ridden like it should. 👍👍👍
What a sound to open with!
@RetroSuperbikes we're working on getting 4 or 5 of us out. ❤️ You'll need to follow us that day 🏍 💨
@@RG500_detectorist Sounds like a plan
Mine has SS pipes with Ally cans, and Rich has Ti pipes and Carbon cans.... Which one sounds better? TBH I think mine is a bit noisy LOL
@@2stroketimebomb Ha ha Ill have a look at your videos and let you know what I think. People say my SP1 is too noisy but they're a little effeminate 🤣
Nice to see you back rich👍
Thanks so much. Been so busy with the metal detecting!! Plus, I need to visit Nova transmissions for them to have yet another look at my problematic, squeaking dry clutch. Finally, I don't want to venture too far on my 14/44 gearing, as it's so high revving now. Flat out before you know it. Terrible for anything larger than a single track A road. That said, with all the summer nights, still here and VJMC meet coming up at Ryka's, there still plenty of time for some bike fun. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the 'double trouble' RGs. See you soon. Best wishes, Rich
To right mate ! 2 gammas what’s not to like!😆👍

Thanks John. Yes, shame I left early, but a great evening ❤
Look forward to catching up with you before summer is out
@gehillz4075 if you use Facebook, search for South East Detecting and join my group. Lots of useful information and good second hand machines on there. Ideally you need to get a good second hand one, or spend a few hundred pounds on a Minelab, Nokta or Garrett.
@RetroSuperbikes I need to find a place to paint 2 wheels and someone who can restore the JMC swingarm, complete with new bearings, then it's good to go. ❤
I had no idea they made 2stroke street bikes like that
@user-oz6pt9yx1u yes, but they only made this type for 2 years. Not that many left now. Absolutely brilliant and unique street bike. They imported them into Canada but not the US.

Apologies for the speedo issue, new part ordered.
Think you mean 208 km/hr
It was my sense of humour! Sorry! Sadly, the sensor on the speedo became loose causing an issue. As you'll see the speedo went crazy. Luckily I have a speedo on my phone, as a back up. I've ordered the new sensor and cable, £30 delivered.
Great video as always Rich 👍

Me too! Both great bikes, but for me, only one keeper 😉
@@JohnSmith-sj2dk surely the RD?
@ThomasDoubting5 Cheeky bugger lol, I had a black water cooled (rz350) with a nervous front end, and a white red water cooled (great bike, loved it) full fairing (rz350 fn)., but the RG was next level power/weight ratio and fun factor..
@JohnSmith-sj2dk always dreamed of the fn version. I had the bikini faired 350ypvs, but back then, one with a full fairing was, in my mind, a proper race bike. Cracking bikes, but as you say the RG has that next level of 'oomph'. A standard RG is quite tame. This one at 110bhp is just right for power to fun ratio. ❤ thanks for watching. Hope it took you back, to great memories 👍
