One more tooth on the front sprocket equals about three fewer teeth on the rear sprocket: isn't that stretching the gear ratio too much? I have the impression that this will reduce the bike's acceleration, and I'm not sure that the top speed will increase, because the engine might not have enough power to reach the higher RPMs that it could theoretically achieve with the new ratio.

Fab ride Bruce the Classic singing away beautifully 👍

Dithering over purchasing a RE, is yours holding up well rust wise? I have a worn out Honda CBF 250 and basically sprayed it with WD 40/GT85and hosed it down over winter when I could. Dont think its much worse but was hesitant on getting something newer that may potentially not last well. Any thoughts?

Brilliant trip, I thoroughly e joyed it thanks

😊Brilliant t scenes and great roads especially on l Classic 350 thank you ,

Thanks for the greta golden fields 😀 Summer, finally 😎

Nothing better than a nice ride out of work, and even better on roads like that! When I was working my commute was through built up area's in heavy traffic, but in the summer I'd make up for it by going out after tea for a ride, but now I'm retired I can go wherever it suits! But I wouldn't mind working again if it meant going along those roads your on! 😅😅 Cheers, have a good week Bruce 👍 Mel .

Allways nice to see a sunny non rainy ride out, lovely jubbly 😊 Pooped after 212 miles yesterday. Best regards.😊

Great ride Bruce, as usual. 😎 Barley and potatoes... hmmm = Scotch and Chips. 😉 Cheers 🥃

Nice one Bruce. Warhorse does seem better with the extra tooth. Fitted my one, just got to get out on it now.

Amazing

What a lovely ride. You wasted no time getting away from work. Seems like you only need second and third gears now, perhaps it feels like a more relaxed ride?

Great videos. I was parked in my truck being loaded at Fenton barns last week, and was sure I heard the familiar distinctive sound of your bike coming along, stopping and turning there.🤔😁👍

A great video for a Monday morning! I thoroughly enjoyed that!😊

Saw a video about Honda's new CB350. It is suppose to be better than the 350 you are riding. I am wondering if the Honda could handle going up into the Himilayans. Royal Enfield 350s are used in some pretty rough riding. RE builds good strong bikes.

Happy birthday.

BsAufull thaks

This is one of the best classic videos I’ve seen

I’m from Gullane

Happy belated birthday. Hope the whiskey went down well.

If you can find them use brass o-ring picks. Sometimes the steel picks will scratch the aluminum and make a leak. Or make your own out of a brazing rod.

🥁🎉 Bruce all the best and health☺️

Bike sounds great no matter. Happy belated Bruce ! Tack on another 12 years as of last May and I also was gifted a bottle of whisky ! Received my 1st old guy cheque this month. Maybe I'll buy another bike. 😂 Cheers.🥃

Toujours aussi intéressant vos vidéos ! Et vive l’Ecosse 😊

Hi Bruce. I think of all the jobs I'm going to do on my Hotchkiss, the one I'm looking forward to most is putting the markings on. Remember when we were kids and no matter how crap our completed Airfix kit looked, the decals ALWAYS made it look brilliant. Maybe I haven't spotted it yet, but is there a video up of the jeep getting repainted? Mine is coming to me in NATO green. Also, do you have an email address ? Many thanks....Mike

That’s a fine wee bike fur these roads slow enough to take in the views as you go and comfortable to any rain forecast hope not lots to take in

I love the way you rev it out through the gears. I do the same on my classic 500 and i think it goes all the better for it. My bike has over 10k on it and doesnt use a drop of oil either.

Happy Birthday! One thing I like about watching your rides on the 350 is you don't baby it. It's nice to see how it goes when you work it a bit 😂.

Another wonderful video, thank you. I love the bush fence lines, but do you every worry about animals jumping out in front of you? It seems like you wouldn't have much time to react.

Happy birthday Bruce it was my 63 on Monday and I was out on my Meteor 350 around the borders and a pub lunch at the Victoria Arms in Norham. Have a good one

Happy birthday young fella. I worked till 68 and will be 70 in a couple of months time. Enjoy your wee dram.

If anyone were qualified to give a good opinion on the gearing, it'd be you Bruce 👍 Engine sounds much slower than usual for sure, shame they don't do a 15 and a half maybe 🤪 Happy Birthday too

5 gears ? In this economy ? Happy birthday, I hope that, like me, you are getting happier the closer retirement gets....

Love the sound of the bike...Happy Birthday as well !

Happy birthday dude. Kindest regards Si ✊😎.

Thanks

Happy Birthday! Its worth noting that the indicated speed may have altered too. I put an extra tooth on my honda 125 to try and stop it screaming its nuts off at 55, which it did but it also changed the speedo reading. It used to run about 3 mph faster than gps speed, now with the extra tooth it runs about 1 mph slower than gps. Its probably no bother to you up there, doesn't look like there is too many camera vans... different story down here.

Happy birthday young man 🎉 many more to come i am sure. Just a question about the speed limiter on the Enfield? Is it speed related or revs? Back in the day when we had a bike wouldn't pull top we put larger rear sprocket on to give it a fighting chance, obviously it increases acceleration in lower Gears and increasing fuel consumption but being young and feeling invincible we didn't care. All that matters at the end of the day is that you are happy with your motorcycle. Having lived in the two stroke era 70s owning many kawasaki, suzuki and yamaha adjustable clip ons and rearsets were derigour then fairings if you had better paid job. One of my favourites was an early RD 350lc raced tuned by stan Stephens i owned it for 3 years 17mpg no matter how you rode it. The legendary flat spot between 3-5000 rpm was made worse but omg when you kept it on the pipe it would wheelie at 70mph under hard acceleration it was geared for 120mph Happy days. My friends on moving up to kawasaki 1000 and gs 750 ect thought they would annihilate my little 350lc how wrong they were, i could stop faster corner faster. Keep up the vlogs if you can i know its hard to find time editing etc and we truly appreciate it when you can. Take care all the best Rod and Jan

Congratulations 🎉 on your 53rd birthday 🎂 love your videos stay safe and upright. 😊

Hey coast rider, I'm thinking of putting off road tires to have better traction when checking on my livestock at my farm. I'd like to get more use of my classic even though pushing the limits. Something about using this old bike off-road I find satisfying. Question: what do you think would work to protect the gear shifter and break from tall grasses?

Subaru brat looks good , loved driving them on the road back in the day when I had summer jobs in Sutherland, handled great , brightened up my days at work cutting grass whilst getting eaten by midgies and cleggs.

Happy Birthday Grasshopper🥳

Happy birthday Bruce, have a good one 🥃

Oh the joys of being 53 ! I vaguely remember them 🙂 Happy birthday !

Happy Birthday young'un! What whiskey did you get?

Happy Birthday young man. Bike sounds great.

Warhorse is holding speed well with 16T. Sounds great too. The weather been so changeable 😢. I got so burnt at Powmill, on Sunday past. Top of need,forehead and nose, are red raw and sore. It’s affected my right eye. Which has been semi closed and weeping since Monday. ( am just an ole bugger now…lol)😂 Keep up the good work.

Happy birthday Coasty! In ma younger days I'd usually put a tooth less gearbox sprocket on ma bikes to make them easier tae lift the wheel in 2nd, but now ah'm auld the idea of a a tooth more to make the bike a bit less buzzy at the speeds ah cruise at appeals to me more. Part and parcel of gettin auld ah suppose.

Happy birthday, Bruce. Slainte Mhath. With the different sprocket, is there much difference when you pull away in first from a standstill? Especially uphill.

Happy Birthday. I can’t understand why people get so upset about people modding their bikes. If you don’t want to, don’t. It’s that simple. In every comment section of change reviews there is always someone saying “if you want ‘X’ you should have bought a different bike”. That’s probably true if what you really want is a 200hp superbike, but there’s nothing wrong with smoothing out the engine at higher speeds, or anything else you want to try for that matter. I prefer to keep my bikes mostly stock, but I enjoy seeing what people are able to do with their motorcycles. I don’t even really consider sprocket changes to be a performance mod. It just changes the riding style.
