    Can't believe how smooth and silky that shifting is, not a clunk or thunk to be heard. Can I ask you to do a video on why you picked the Bullet over the other Enfield 350 bikes? Maybe you did, and I missed it. But I'm shopping for a 350 Enfield and would like to hear your reasoning for your pick.

      @@jjstuartonwriting8150 The gearbox is ridiculously smooth. Best I’ve ever used.
      I went over my choice to buy the Bullet in my first video that I started doing narration on. The one that says something like “Oh no I have a microphone now”
      It basically boiled down to looks, the seat and the heritage. They are essentially the same bike really, so whichever one you go for you’ll be happy.

      Totally agree. Went to the RE dealership wanting to purchase a Classic 350. The head of sales then showed me pictures of the Bullet 350 black gold, it was love at first sight.
      Love the traditional classic looks, just as I remember them while visiting India in the 80’s as a kid and even drool over them back then.

      Thanks Glyn ❤ He's lucky to have a neurodivergent manager as it would seem that his previous ones have all just written him off as being difficult, without actually delving into why that is. I was fortunate enough to recognise the signs.......not saying that he isn't a difficult member of staff to manage still 😉 He still differs from my behaviours in a lot of ways. I try to get on with everyone and it takes a lot for me to lose my shit and tear someone a new one at work.

    Good morning, nice to see you riding in my neighborhood (I'm from Bedford) and as you said Millbrook is quite a place. Over decade ago used to work as a car delivery driver, used to deliver various police vehicles to numerous police stations all around the UK. Picking new vehicles from Millbrook and bringing back old ones. It's big place and remember security was always taping our cameras on smartphones with duct tape. That circular race truck is amazing to drive on must admit. You've got me interested in that diagnosis for autism, I myself have been thinking many times maybe I should try go for it, have many signs, being extremely introverted.
    Anyway, keep doing what you doing, love the rides and love the stories. Cheers!

      You should definitely have a look at doing a self assessment online for autism.

      @@crumblymal8479 I guess that’s the price that Aston have to pay to be in the film and get global advertising in one of the biggest film franchises ever. Probably cheaper for them to do that than spend the money on advertising. Still a waste though isn’t it?

    Thanks for a lovely ride out and the supportive words re autism. My diagnosis was only a couple of months ago so I'm still coming to terms with it but as you said it does help make sense of my life and I am trying to find 'coping' mechanisms. Your words do help me feel less isolated with my diagnosis so thankyou.

      @@andytopley314 ❤️ Thanks for the kind words Andy. I’m pleased to hear that you are exploring coping mechanisms for your ASD. It can be a tough road, but understanding your diagnosis and accepting who you are is the first step in finding peace within yourself and helping others to know you better too.
      Good luck with your journey and try not to feel too isolated - there are millions of us out there 😉

    I have long suspected that there was something wrong with me and I did a autism test just now and the result says that I have "obvious signs of autism". I struggle with adapting in social situations and experience honestly crippling anxiety (to the point where I sweat profusely because I tense up so much in my body) when put in those situations but above all there are certain things that seem to be getting worse as I get older like for example when i watch videos or movies I have to rewind often because my brain drifts a lot and I forget what I watched literally seconds ago as if my eyes weren't even on the screen but they were.
    This is very awkward when I watch something together with someone else, I can often come across as just really dumb.
    I was worried that it's some kind of an early sign of Alzheimer's or something but the test that I just did mentions exactly this issue that I have so yeah I'm 99% sure that I'm highly autistic.
    I have a myriad of other issues that I suspect is rooted in the same thing.
    I might look into getting it checked if my health center can assure me that it wont cost me a fortune.
    Btw my only issue with the Bullet is the brown/bronze coloring on it, I would more than likely want to get that done into a different color and I'm thinking red perhaps.

      @@itotallycare Those things that you have described are exactly how I am. Crippling anxiety, tense muscles, struggle to adapt in social situations (I basically just want to run away the whole time), sweating profusely etc. EXACTLY how I have been all of my life. I also find it difficult to focus on things as I get older. That might just be an age thing though.
      Sounds to me like you are on the spectrum and you should try and seek help with it if it is causing you distress.
      I get what you mean about the copper pinstriping on the Bullet. I actually really like it and find that it distinguishes itself from the older models. Horses for courses and all that though eh?
      Best of luck with everything my friend - I hope that you can get some help and it doesn’t bankrupt you.
