I love everything about your videos the cool music, the nostalgia and the classic bikes. Feels like I am going back in time even if its just for a few minutes. Its a nice escape from this mundane world.
thank you! Nice to meet you. I'm glad to hear that. Riding a British bike makes me forget about everything else, so I want to praise my younger self for deciding to ride one 😆👍
I have a friend who has one R50 and one R75. BMW's rational and tough motor is also interesting. For the rest of my life, I have my hands full with British motors. I wish you a good life as a boxer. thank you!
Fascinating. I learned quite a bit by watching this particular video, and have a better comprehension of the inspirational, experiential force behind your video series. You have truly chosen "the road less travelled" (Robert Frost poem), figuratively and literally. I had very little idea why I was witnessing the brit-bike dedication and authenticity theme in Japan. My first encounter was about 10 years when my brother-in-law (dedicated Super Cub rider) took me for a walk around the Ueno area. We were wandering around some back streets and accidentally found this small old-style store-front motorcycle shop with a Triumph sign hanging in the window. I went and the proprietor had a number of serious vintage British motorcycles, some set up for racing. The gentlemen was so nice, enthusiastic, and gave me a Triumph tool kit bag. He knew about American classic dirt track racers from the sixties. I left in utter amazement. I may have his business card somewhere. Then I started seeing artful videos on youtube, this series being the latest and best. Your videos are pure art! The machines featured, the music, the clothing, all of it make for emotive, haunting, memorable viewing. I've often said that a vintage motorcycle, whether Japanese or British, is 'a piece of art that you ride'. Every trip out on the forgotten backroads is a form of time travel, skirting the laws of physics. An ideal escape with the just right amount of danger and challenge.
Hello thank you! I agree with everything you say. I live in Ueno My real name has the meaning of ``going where others don't go.'' The bike shop in Ueno was located near Akihabara. Then I know that store too. It was a store called Trinity School. In Japan in the 1990s, Brit bikes were cafe racers. It was popular at the same level as the culture of rockers. Since 2000, Brit bikes have become increasingly recognized as part of American motor culture here in Japan. As Harley's Sportster became more popular, Interest in American dirt sports is increasing. And when it comes to dirt racing, you can't talk about it without mentioning the Brit Twin. Even here in Japan, enthusiasts are seriously researching what motor culture was like back then, and they're all very passionate about it. I would like to record the culture of Brit bikes in Japan from my own perspective. Your words are inspiring, thank you so much!
I follow your work because your videos are really well made. It’s clear that there is a great passion for old-fashioned motorbikes. Greetings from Italy! 😎👍🏻
Hello thank you! It's true that I have a greater passion for riding old motorcycles than most people, so I travel with them no matter what. But I also think I want a modern Moto Guzzi.😆
The N15CS sounds wonderful! I just fired mine up for the first time since I rebuilt it and I can't wait to ride it now!! I had a G15CS when I was a kid and never finished putting it together. Now, I've not only managed to put this N15 back to running, but I found and bought some of the parts for my old G15CS - I sold the bike about 30 years ago, so to find what is left of it is amazing! I'll eventually combine what I have as a complete G15CS Matchless. Love the videos, the music, the landscape!
Actually, the production number of my N15 is G15, but since I bought it, it has had a tank written as Norton on it, and the car name is written as Norton on the Japanese registration documents, so I don't know why. I'm introducing it as N15 because it's a pain to explain it to you.😆 In fact, the 1967 G15 seems to have green like this. Well, it's the same bike except for the emblem, so I don't really care. My N15 has a high cam, so it has a different sound than my friend's Atlas, and it has pretty brutal acceleration, which is fun. Enjoy your G15 too! It's a really good bike.👍
I think they were interchanged by various owners over the years. When I first had mine, it was titled as a Matchless. The title that came with it this time now says Norton. I think most people barely know what. Norton is and even fewer know of Matchless so when they see a Norton Motor, they assume it's just that. There is loads of information out there, but even some of that is contradictory. In the end, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm going with the Norton badges for now, because that is how I began the restoration. Also going with silver paint rather than the candy red. I see now there are more videos you've made on the bike, so I will have a closer look. Happy riding! @@dropmotors8501
@@marcotoivovideo After I got the N15, I seriously researched the history of Matchless, but up until then I only vaguely knew about the P11 and N15. I've never seen a matchless twin in Japan, although there are a few G80s on the road, although they're a significant minority. Velocet is popular in Japan for some reason, maybe even more so than Norton. I also like researching history, so researching and building old and minor vehicles doesn't bother me much, it's fun. The stories of successes and setbacks from G12 to G15 were also very interesting. I now know why N15 is so heavy lol The lack of mystery in Japanese motorcycles may be the reason why I don't find them appealing. British products are motor sports, archaeology, and training.
Hello from the UK. No need to apologise about your English, mine is pretty bad and I've been speaking it from birth 😉. Your videos are awesome, I usually watch them a few times and always come back to a few favourites. You're absolutely right in your comment about 'the curse of British motorcycles'. Best of luck with your channel, I hope you can make 1000 subscribers very soon.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! There is no other way to describe the charm of British motorcycles other than a curse. While my friends around me were riding two-wheelers that could do 200mph, I was constantly fighting against the 100mph wall, which meant a lot to me. I will continue to upload videos every time I travel, and I will do my best to take more enjoyable videos.😆
Hi from the Netherlands, I really enjoy these beautifully designed videos every time! The motorcycles and wonderful music go together so harmoniously. I started riding a T120 in 1976, then 5 Commandos and a more than fantastic Triton with a T150V Tripple as an engine. Now I'm eagerly looking for a Commando again, I know of a nice green Fastback, so.... Thank you and please keep it up! Openen in Google Translate • Feedback
Thank you sir! In fact, improving the accuracy of Google Translate has contributed the most to the rebuilding of British motorcycles. When I was born, Japan was already a major vehicle manufacturing country, so I had access to a lot of information about engine construction, and I was able to put it into practice using cheap Japanese motorcycle engines. The only thing I lacked in order to assemble British motors was English ability, so I'm thankful for the development of IT technology (lol) I have two friends who ride fastbacks, and the toughness and speed of the Commando irritated me when I was riding a 650cc. Now, with the N15CS, I can compete with them equally, and the Norton 750 is the best😆.
Beautiful scenery. I got my first vintage Honda about 6 years ago and my first vintage Triumph about 2 years ago. I had no mechanical know-how but the internet makes this a wonderful time to learn to work on old bikes. Like you mentioned, the parts and the knowledge have become easier to find. I think about the old timers who were doing this 30+ years ago... it must have been a very different scene.
30 years ago it was fax and letters! exchanges, incorrect deliveries, and wrong products. It would be mind-boggling. I think this moment is probably the best time to enjoy old vehicles. Let's enjoy each other😆 Thankyou!
Thanks for your introduction. Now I understand a little better why your videos are so fun, we shared some likes. Here in Brazil, British motorcycles are a very recent thing (2012+), so old ones are non-existent. But gentlemen like you help satisfy my desire for these classic bikes, sharing a little of your days with them. Note made about the Japan countryside. 😉
The motorcycle situation in South America is not well understood in Japan, so I was surprised to see only models from 2012 onwards, but my impression was that there were a lot of older vehicles running in South America. Of course, this is an impression from a long time ago. I like not only cars, but also American music, clothes, and culture from the 1960s, and I think there are quite a lot of people like that. The short videos I make are full of respect for that kind of nostalgia. Thank you for always watching!😁
Great story!!👍 In my country we didn't have access to old British motorcycles. In the years 1945-1989/90 we lived behind the "Iron Curtain". When the country opened up to the West in the 1990s, there was no money for such technological wonders. The first to appear were Japanese motorcycles bought in Germany. It was only after 2000 that some people started importing old British motorcycles from Western Europe and the USA. Now many motorcyclists in Poland ride old British motorcycles.😊 Greetings to lovers of old motorcycles from Japan!🙏
This is my first time interacting with Polish people. nice to meet you. I have a friend who loves Urals and JAWA. I'm also interested in the Urals. Although they are geographically close, they have a heavy history of being divided into west and east, so it would be nice to be able to enjoy the free atmosphere now. After all, British bikes from their heyday were popular there too, and it makes me cry that here in Japan, everything but Triumphs is treated like garbage (lol) Let's enjoy bike life together🤝
@@dropmotors8501 I'm also very pleased to meet Japanese motorcyclists. 🤝Previously, I exchanged information under the videos of a Japanese motorcyclist. He is a fan of the Triumph brand. I was a bit surprised to learn over a year ago that British motorcycles (especially the Triumph brand) were popular in Japan. Thanks to the Internet, the world has shrunk. I don't like Russian (Soviet) motorcycles, they burn a lot of fuel and are of very poor quality, besides, Russia has always been and is possessive of its neighbors...... Apart from BSA and two Triumphs, I have several old JAWA, MZ, Simson 250 and Polish motorcycles. All of them are better than Russian ones. From 1918 to 1939, British motorcycles were known and liked in Poland, although few people could buy them. After World War II, it was impossible to buy almost anything from Western Europe and the USA. A small number of British and Japanese motorcycles were bought only by Polish sailors or children of communist dignitaries. It's great that we can exchange information despite the great distance.🌍🙏
@@lechbanas6088 I completely agree that Russian hegemony is frowned upon. Japan's Hokkaido has always been a target, and the world hasn't changed much since the 19th century. Miz! This is a great bike too! The Czech Republic and Poland are recognized in Japan as excellent industrial countries. We have heard about the unfairness of life in the former communist countries, and we must not go back in time. I'm the one who should be thanking you! I'm glad we could interact.🤝
@@dropmotors8501 You are absolutely right, we should not go back to reopening old wounds, much less creating possessive empires.

We say that Russia has always suffered from "land hunger"... Maybe this will change someday? Best regards!!
thank you! Having been riding a lightweight slimline Dominator for a while, I was initially confused by the weight of the N15. It's a really great motorcycle once you get used to it! I can't get used to the weight of the center stand.😆
