Nice one Clive, glad to hear that the bike is still going well and providing smiles. Congratulations on surviving another year ! It was good to hear about Buddy's giraffe. Ruby's favourite toy is her fox 🥰 She takes him out into the garden at every opportunity. She's very good at taking him out but muggins here always has to remember to bring him back in again, otherwise he's likely to get nicked by the local strays overnight. Enjoyed the return of "Trolley cam" btw. Give Buddy a hug from the two of us ! Garry & Ruby
Thanks Garry, that’s what us humans are for mate… I’m lucky, Buddy knows the giraffe is an indoor toy and doesn’t take it outside😁 Took the super meteor to 70mph and a bit 😉 and not getting any vibrations like you had so hopefully you just got a dud ? Hugs to Ruby
@@aussiebikerdude6563 Clever Buddy ! Thanks for the info on the high speed testing Clive. If I ever get healthy again, I need to get over to Almeria and test their Celestial Super Metepr while they've still got it. I suppose one key difference is that you ran your SM in, whereas demo bikes just get ragged from day one. Hearing lots of talk from India that the 452 motor vibrates like a bar steward at anything above 60 mph, thereby meaning that ultimately it has the same cruising speed as the Himalayan 411, which kind of negates the idea of the 452 possibly being better on longer trips. My guess is, that a lot of this is because they are not sticking to the running in recommendations. On a single and to a lesser extent on a twin, I think whether you run the bike in or not, does have a significant effect upon how smooth it runs in the end. Also the bikes are currently brand new, so ragging a brand new single is not going to be the same as ragging it once it's got 3000 km on it. All engines smooth out over time. I'll definitely try to get a go on their new SM, which by now probably has a few kms on it and might have smoothed out a bit. Cheers Clive, hugs to Budders Garry & Ruby
Happy birthday 🎂 I feel for you having to endure those 30c+ temperatures especially as we’ve just had another snow forecast and a max of 2c here… ⛄️🥶☹️
Hi ABD if you are ever stuck for something to do on a sunny day { assuming there is one} and feel like a trip to the gold coast. I have 9 Royal Enfield and my brother has 3 all after 2015 in our garage. You would be vey welcome to visit if you would like to add a few more models to your excellent content. It would be nice to meet you in person. My brother and i have owned many bike through the years but are fairly stuck with The Enfield models at the moment. Kind regards Lester. Keep up the good work.
Hi Lester, blimey mate that’s a lot of bikes, 🏍️ I’d love to come for a visit and look at all your wonderful motorbikes If you could send me an email or DM me on instagram we can arrange it. Cheers mate, thanks for the nice comments too 👍😁
Mate, I own a SM 650 and wish I could appreciate the screen...😕 However, I did purchase Royal Enfield barend mirrors, and it was a game changer for looks and visibility behind! I reckon you would love them! All branded. Quality. Your panier cases I am interested in! Did I miss a video? Love your posts! I am flipping coins... I hate my back pack when shopping on the SM!
Hi mate, yeah just check my previous videos there’s one on the Shad panniers, they are such a game changer for when you go to the shops Are you not liking the screen? I don’t have a problem with it at all but I know some people struggle with buffering… maybe I’m just too cruise…lol Bar end mirrors 🤔 I’m kind of interested now…. Maybe I’ll look into that 😁
Champion! Thank you will look up the panniers. Yep, Looz the Mickey Mouse mirrors. 😂 The RE black barends are the boss! Make sure though you get black finishes! Have pics. 👍
Hey mate nice video. We are the same age bud except I turned 54 in September, hey i know what you mean about the bats and mangos the mongrels got all but 2 of the bowans, a tree i got from cairns about 20 odd years ago these are the best mangos i have ever tasted and I think the bats agree,I will be more prepared for the pricks next year. Anyway ride safe and maybe we can meet up some time and go for a ride, I have a re interceptor and a re Himalayan. Cheers mate.
Hi Jason, thanks mate glad ya like my videos… I wonder sometimes how they will be received 😁 Yeah those bloody bats are crazy…. Bats at night and parrots in the daytime 😳. For sure mate… would love to meet up….email me and we will make it happen 👍
Sweet bike! I may be biased as I've got a Celestial Blue Super Meteor on order ;-) By the way how do you find the screen? I've heard mixed reports about them.
Thanks mate and a very good choice you made 😁 I personally like the screen and don’t have a problem with it at all but I know some people don’t like it…let me know what you think once you’ve ridden your new toy for a while 👍😁
@@aussiebikerdude6563 Will do, I'm really excited about this one. I have a Classic 500 and an old iron barrel Bullet, I also used to own an Interceptor but didn't like the riding position and found it a bit skittish handling wise.
@@simonchilli2088 hahaha, I’m sure it’s just around the corner, it’s funny we are looking forward to some cooler weather and you guys are looking forward to summer 😂
I went on for New year's Eve Party 🥳🎉 & rode home about 6:30am on New year's Day & was quite no traffic & beautiful morning. Haven't been out since though. On New year's Eve when I left home it was pissing down but fine 20km up the road so bike got filthy & only just washed it. I gave it another wash on Thursday young Derek would be proud how it turned out😂🤣.

Happy birthday, ABD, Sausage rolls, pizza, and beer in the shed fantastic but don't mentioned the mangos or nav-man😂😂😂
Thanks AR… I’m already half cut 😂😂😂 and nav man?
Happy new year and happy birthday 🙂
Thanks mate 👍😁
Ordered my blue Super Meteor this week with a RE original rear rack, sissy bar mounted not the fender version. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the review.
Awesome Michael, good choice Mate👍 hopefully you don’t have to wait too long for it 👍🍺
Happy Birthday to you. Money and Alcohol are on the way my brother......😃
Thanks mate, I’m waiting beside my mail box 😂😂😂

Happy birthday mate...go and get yourself a carton of Crown Larger...RR/CC said he'd shout ya😊.
Thanks mate… lol I don’t think RR would shout if a shark bit him 😂😂😂😂
Just wondering which panniers you have on there and how they go. I'm picking up the same bike soon and currently window shopping for luggage.
I have the Shad ones they are good…have a look back at a video I did on them a couple of months ago 👍
Ps…. Good choice of bikes too 👍😁
@@aussiebikerdude6563 Cheers, will do.
Happy Birthday brother 🎉😂😅

I love Royal Enfields very much.
Me too… do you ride one?
I wondered why you weren't riding or posting videos of riding. Too hot to ride isn't in the vocabulary of an English biker.
Yeah its been ridiculous this summer, plus the humidity is shocking too
@@aussiebikerdude6563 We're hoping for a summer this year.
