My wife likes motorcycle shirts. She says they’re better quality than most of the stuff she normally buys. Fortunately, she sticks to the clearance racks. Sue seemed very eager to uncover the name of the Super Meteor for you. That seat looks much more comfy than the thing on the Interceptor. She won’t be truly happy until you find a way to get one. There’s no better problem than trying to make your wife happy by buying another bike.
Nice Ian , love workshops my self , looking at another jacket, fancy a leather again, but not found the right one yet, thanks again both of you take care Ted NW biker dude
Comment on a previous video. I have taken your advice regarding setting up the interceptor with a chair. Oil now changed to 15w and fitted adjustable pre load, which I have set to 10 mm of pre load and it's spot on. Thanks so much for the good advice. Star man.
V@@iantoy7778The temptation of a new bike is exilleraring. You would have to cut loose the 411 possibly or add on to the garage which is a viable option. I cannot see you parting with the 500 but how many machines can one ride in a day? It appears Ian that your more of a, fix the old bikes type of Enthusiasts. Maybe a 25,or 26, after they work out the bugs. Now the Guerilla and possible another Scram? Not enough hours in a day to keep up with Enfield.
As one of your other followers said Like a kid in a candy shop LOL At least you have a RE dealer near you And I did like some of the helmets you showed But no mee jackets for me my closet is full Regards 🦩🦩
I don't think Freddie Dobbs has anything to be worried about. You've obviously not seen Ian's wardrobe 😂 Ian and style don't belong in the same sentence 😂
@@iantoy7778 . Well , Freddie is one of those guys who spends half the day looking at himself in the mirror . I call him Twaddle Waddle and Wobble . He talks a load of twaddle and the rest describes his riding style . But he does make me laugh .
@@iantoy7778Freddy and Monika? All I see and hear is Frank Spencer and Betty! ( you need to be British and of certain age to have any chance of understanding that one)😂
@@dungspreader but you must agree - the picture, the music - are at a high level, as well as a certain personal charm (personally, Freddie reminds me of some of the members of the group SUEDE) - at least for us, not the British.
Hehe, the lady who I thought was in the showroom to keep an eye on you, wasn't doing so on behalf of the Royal Enfield dealership then! :) --------- My girlfriend and I used to chat via a wireless intercom system when we were out motorcycling. She liked to ride her own bike more than being a passive pillion. I would follow her because she liked to ride slower. Good times when both have a license! :) PS Since our move, she has yet to rediscover her interest in biking. --------- So, did Sue succeed in charming them to have you help promote their merchandise? :)
PS Leather jacket recommendation: When the temperature is in the low- to mid twenties degrees C, or in other words, when it gets to be too warm for regular leathers but before I need active refrigeration, I like to wear my cool, perforated, fitted with zipped air vents and stretch panels, "Racing Black Motorcycle Leather Jacket", that currently costs a hundred quid from bikewear direct in the uk. I learned about that website from a video by Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man. Please, does anyone know of more reasonably priced online stores?
Royal Enfield do some great new bikes, particularly the 650's. All of those. The 350 Hunter and Meteor are good too but beware the new Classic and Bullet 350's. They are total fakery from the ground up and not nearly as good as the 500's they replaced. Aside from the lack of vibration with the new model 350's, they fall sadly short on just about every other level when compared to the 500's. The battery isn't even in the battery box. It's fake and it's all plastic and wires to get to it through what used to be the air filter housing. Also now fake. Fake chrome surround plastic 'glass' clocks. Plastic chromed key surround. Even the optional sprung seat isn't real. It's fake. The side boxes are plastic, with only the fronts being metal. No back up kick starter anymore. Then there's the power. The 500 has 30+% more torque and 30+% more BHP. The list is endless tbh.

Couldn't agree more. Especially the last sentence

Pleased it worked out for you.
500cc classic red tank is mine 😂 Hope it’s going to be finished soon.
And yes, really good people!
Thank you,

Will you be going to One Ride from the dealership?
@@iantoy7778sure!
Another shopping trip to Sophia🤗 At least you only bought a shirt and not another RE!
I'll have to take a trip over without Sue. You never know what I might come home with then 😂
@@iantoy7778 A pet Guerrilla!
@@simonchilli2088 Sue says that I have to sell something first. Either that or build an extension to my garage 😂

You look a bit like a kid in a sweet shop .😅
Looking forward to your bike reviews . ( Freddie Dobbs must be worried now ).😂

@@richardyardley5127 don't worry I love my 500 lol
No chance, Royal Enfield don't make anything I'd want to ride or buy.
Royal Enfield's are like marmite. You either love them or hate them!
