  • Hello.
    Thanks for joining me.
    An opportunity to share your wonderful photographs and to explain the latest changes to the bike.
    We are going to The Duchy of Cornwall for a week but what does Mrs S T say when I suggest taking the bike?
    Can you guess?
    Apologies for the less than perfect sound quality trust me when I say it's more frustrating for me than it is for you.
    It's a good job I don't have any hair to pull out!

    See you on the next one.

    I put the cat back on my Classic 350, decat far too noisy for my liking. I’ve left on the Hitchcock’s air filter cover and that’s all I intend to do. It’s a wonderful gentle bike that doesn’t need all the mods. But that’s just me

      Decat sounds good when you don't have the huge silencer on. Try it. I've left my classic decat and no silencer for most the time I've had it now.

    My little Classic has now got about 3,200 miles on it, completely standard, no mods apart from heel/toe shifter and I regularly get 112 m.p.g. That is topping the tank, running it for about 500 miles and topping it again, keeping record of the two top up amounts and any in between.

    Ay up Shotto, I feel your pain mate. I had the brilliant idea of buying a trailer so I could take the Himalayan with us behind the campervan on trips away - no chance, not a snowball's chance in hell!
    Anyway it was good to see Kingsley (where my daughter lived until recently), Froghall (where I started my working life - Bolton's), Ipstones ( where I too have to fight with the traffic!) and Leek (where I originate from, and used to live opposite the garage you filled up at)
    My brother in law (Cheadle lad) put me on to your channel, so I'll be doing some catching up. Got a few photos for you too, so enjoy Cornwall and stay safe.
    (call for a brew sometime, I'm at Warslow these days) 👍

      Thank you Martin, wonderful.
      I too used to work at Bolton's.
      Seems like a lifetime ago.
      Great times, worked shifts, days and nights.
      Seems like a galaxy away now.
      Had some great fun looking back.
      I too thought about a bike behind our campervan a few years ago but although the van had a towbar never quite did it.🤔
      Don't know why.
      You'll know all the places I go riding then.
      I come through Warslow quote a lot, that's where the Greyhound is, where he brews his own beer.
      "Thor" from memory, good pint.

    My Signals Classic is now run in, and I've fitted a DNA filter, cover, and decat pipe. The bike sounds a bit more 'growlier' as Mrs T describes it, but not obnoxiously loud. I find the 350 engine likes a few revs, and the mods make it feel a bit more lively. Great fun at legal speeds 😀

    My missus has refused to go on any of my bikes in 31 years of marriage and 2 years of courting.
    So now I do 2-3 short tours with camping gear on me own.
    Did away with the DNA have kept the CAT but fitted a Punjab short silencer which makes a deeper noise but but not excessive.
    Only thing Im toying with is the fuelxlite as the loss of back pressure does make it pop and bang on over run which reading the lite stops..
    My fuel gauge is rather in accurate and when on low warning it only takes 12 quid to fill up.

    • @shottostravels
      @shottostravels  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sounds like a compromise has been reached.
      Excellent.
      My head says camping but I fear I don't bend like I used to and it might be a step too far.

    Hope that you have a great holiday and the weather is good for you. At least by telling us about your experiences with the de-cat and filter etc you've saved us some cash if we don't now go down that path. Not sure yet what I will do once mine is run in.

    If you check properly I think your getting more than 75 mpg, last time I filled up I put in nine litres and did 212 miles, so over 100mpg. As the speedo reads high maybe the mpg is reading high too so it could be getting less mpg but it still very good and this is riding it without trying to get good mileage.

    I know what you mean the induction noise really got on my nerves , I have tuned & built many bikes , that sound is fine if you’re doing 0 to 60 in less seconds so what I did was to expand the original inlet cover so the it isn’t really noticeable from the outside with the aide of hot air gun & a wooden round handle that was larger inlet & would fit into the inlet after heating from the inside . Do this gently being careful not to over heat the plastic , I like your posts 👍
