- Have you ever wondered how many lanes there are around where you live?
I was looking at the OS maps for the area I keep the bike at, I was amazed how many little lanes there, and a windfarm, all within 5 miles. So that was it, the route was planned. Back Lanes & Windmills The Royal Enfield Classic 350 Finds them all.
Ride safe,

58 years old. Passed my test April 2023. Went straight to the R E dealership and paid the remainder of the price for my classic 350 Signals. Just booked in my 6000 mile service. Bloody love my thumper. 100 smiles to the gallon. Just gutted I left it so late. I've been surrounded by seriously expensive machines and everyone loves mine. Quite funny actually. 😂 A great talking point. Royal Enfield have truly made a winner! Just wish my old dad could have seen what R E are making these days. He was a biker and instructor for years. Thanks for a really nice, laid-back video. 😊
Very nice tour. I really enjoy your picturesque rides.🙂
Another nice ride out Dave, I was out for a short run on Wednesday (West Wales) Nice day but I got cold after a while, we need some higher temperatures. I see you are still wearing Winter gloves. 👍
Nice ride vid dave might be getting another 500 bullet myself, I do miss my R/E's.😊
Hi super little bimble round the country lanes I love that sort of trip relaxing and gives you chance to think about life and different things that might be on your mind with normal life and the state that the uk is in at the moment plus not much traffic to worry about either and the perfect bike for the job take care ride safe
Hello Dave. In place of paper os maps I use Anquet os mapping on my tablet to find those hidden lanes. I carry it with me on rides. Oddly you don't need an Internet connection once you've got them downloaded.
However you find them though they're so good to ride 👍
Really like your posts , I’m on the Romney mash’s no hill’s but pretty much same country roads , keep it going. O also have the same bike standard on the outside but she is modified on the inside 👍
Very nice tour. I prefer seeing wind turbines to smoke stacks. We have similar circumstances. I bought my Meteor Fireball in the fall of 2021 and then sold my R1100RT the following spring for the same reasons. I chap walked up to me today to look at my bike. It was the first RE he had seen. He said he purchased a Triumph 1200 last year for 20 thousand CAD . His jaw dropped when I told what I paid for my 350. Cheers 🥃
Very nice , I had a look at the new BMW r1200 very lovely looking bike , bigger than I thought but beautiful paint scheme on it 👍🏍️
that new R.E. sure looks very nice to me. I enjoy your picturesque rides.
Off to do some Rural Sheffield bits in the morning, probably start at Low Bradfield and film some of journey home which is direction I haven’t done previously
Put a route in my Beeline
Satnavs seem to delight in taking us the wrong way, Dave. Mine's called Gertie and she frequently gets it wrong. Going through Brisbane a couple of years ago she took me on three successive left turns on a triangular course, so that I ended up back on the original road and at the same start point! I would make comment about a female sense of direction, but doubtless that would draw the ire of those sensitive souls bereft of a sense of humour... 🤣
Ok, I managed to follow as far as just before Silkstone Common, but where was that lovely lane alongside the stream some way before Ingbirchworth.
Hi Chris, I've looked on the map and cant remember where it was, here is the link to my Calimoto route if it helps, calimoto.com/calimotour/windmills-royds-moor-r-OOTTglCuJO
Ride safe mate, Dave
@@thatblokeonamotorbike Brilliant that, thanks a lot, it was just up Carr Lane, although on Google Maps there is much more foliage, so it's less "open". That section from Silkstone to Ingbirchworth is the only bit I've never travelled. The back way through Pilley avoiding the Birdwell nightmare junction I use a lot. If you see a fat old bloke with a beard on a scruffy old black Norton Dommi or Brough Superior around the lanes it's probably me.
@@chrislaunders8283 wow, they are 2 iconic bikes, ride safe mate
A great bimble around that area, don’t really know my way around there. Where do you recommend for a coffee stop there?
I also get the shorts from Andy Tiernan. Some nice stuff. Don’t know if you have seen Volcanic Brown’s vids,but he used to work there & stills visits & did a vid not too long ago walking around the place. Really interesting if you are into Brit bikes & ‘old style’ bike shops.
Great vid again 👌 has your 350 got standard exhaust etc ?
Hi, yes standard exhaust and air filter.
It did have the KN filter when I bought it, I changed it back to standard, I think it sounds better and couldn't tell any difference in performance.
Ride safe, Dave
A very nice ride, until you came to what you call windmills. I had a picture of the windmills you find in Holland but, to my dismay, no. In Canada we call them wind turbines and mostly despise them as they destroy the landscape views.
My 350 in halcyon green is now at Peterborough Harley centre and will soon be on its way to me in Wolverhampton. I was reading through the manual and learned some interesting things from Royal Enfield . It said don’t fill the petrol tank any higher than the bottom of the splash plate because of fuel expansion. Have you got a manual because I can send you one if you can tell how?
Hi, I do have one thanks, the other thing I found is if you fill the tank too high, it can leak when on the side stand.
I bet you're really exited now it's so close .
Stay safe, Dave
@@thatblokeonamotorbike thanks for that info , yes I’m very excited but a bit nervous aswell but going to take my time and as soon as I’ve run it in I will go on the police course which I definitely need 👍🏍️
Hey there M8 Where did you find your Gloves?
Hi, they are from Gold Top, brilliant gloves, lined with Marino wool. Ride safe, Dave
Hi...thought you were getting a sidecar for Betsy.
Hi, not for Betsy, I have an Indian 350 bullet machismo with the sidecar. Had it about 11 years, it brilliant
Ride safe, Dave
