170 miles on the Royal Enfield Classic 350

A long ride out to North Yorkshire (bright but windy) on the trail of some of my ancestors. Also trying out my new pannier and giving my Beeline navigation thing another good workout. This video shows just a fragment of the journey (missing out a number of residences, villages, churches and graveyards that I visited on the way) and culminating in a trip to St Chad's, Middlesmoor (where my great grandparents x7 generations came from).
Not trying to Vlog or anything, just me messing about on my motorcycle and playing with recording gear etc. No talking just riding (I'm not one for talking).
Bike mods: Pretty standard this one ...so far. Only has bar end mirrors and tank knee pads (came like that) and now with DNA filter. A couple of new relays and cleaned the rest ...I've also moved the gear lever up one spline.
Recording Stuff: Insta 360 X3 (with motorcycle kit) (Camera World); Movo Wireless Mini Duo (for sound, Mounted under side panel); Ulanzi MT-58 1.21m Selfie Stick.

Thanks for the video Leigh.
It’s always more enjoyable watching a route that you’re familiar with. The Masham to Lofthouse road is a regular ride for me on my 350 Classic. A buttie at the Bordar Tea rooms in Masham and a natter with with some like minded bike riders.
Doesn’t get much better than that. And summer is yet to come. Keep riding🙂🏍👍

Thanks. It's a fantastic area for motorcycling ...and I have a few more trips planned exploring the area and further afield (if it ever stops raining). Take care 👍

Nice video, what kind of speeds are you getting to? Thanks

[@leighcoulson2148]

Thanks. Not going particularly fast, on the twisty narrow roads generally 40 to 45 mph, on the faster sections normally around 50 mph, occasionally 55 plus. It would go quicker but the motor feels happiest just under the 50 mark. It does make you relax and enjoy the scenery at a more leisurely pace.

Evening, can i ask what type of pannier you are riding with? Interested in one for my Scram 411. Thanks in advance.

[@leighcoulson2148]

Hello, I purchased it via ebay from r0yal-parts, an indian seller (for £61.57). It came as a single sided mount and pannier (There's quite a number of other sellers with this item to browse through). It's canvas with waterproof lining but as far as I know, is specific to the classic 350 (often labelled as a Military Pannier). I'm not sure if there is an equivalent for the Scram 411 ...I haven't seen one in my searches but haven't really looked. The pannier may still may fit though ...they have a pocket on the inner side which goes over the pannier frame and two straps to secure it.

Thank you for your help. Keep safe.@@leighcoulson2148

isn't that like 2 hours and 30 minutes?

[@scannaunderscore1]

Just an hour's ride on that thing kills my arse

[@leighcoulson2148]

I suppose it's different for everybody but I have no issues with it ...however I also cycle a lot too and that's on a hard thin seat with no suspension, so the classic 350 is luxury compared to that.
