Eh up Taym Hope you’re all good mate some brilliant bikes and especially to me the BSA’s A10/A7/A65 Plus the Matchless beautiful that! Still doing some great videos I must say 😍 Top man Lovely Triumph you’re riding there Phil
Yes it was me that fitted the Bullet seat to my Classic, but it was the even better Touring Bullet seat. In 8 hours last week covered 180 miles and was as fresh as a daisy when I got back home, 9 AM to 5 PM. 😊 Some lovely bikes at Haywards and what a great shop 😊
Great selection of bikes. When I was a poorly paid apprentice back in the late 70s, the RD400 was my dream bike, I had all the brochures and road tests, but alas couldn't afford one, and I still can't!
What a wonderful event! I wish my local shops got the support to hold events like this. Even if they did, the vintage bikes wouldn't be present. Haywards and your motorcycling community.... Splendiferous! Favorite bike, I can't do it, there were too many! Thanks for taking us along Mr TAYM.
Delighted to see BSAs in an environment which suits them, rather than looking uncomfortable in some modern showroom. Lots of lovely bikes there too, mind you I've been spoiled as well and I'm hoping to get a ride in a Royal Enfield Combination soon (fingers x'ed, weather permitting!)
Evening TAYM, some beautiful bikes in there, but that red RD eh! 👌, Also the new BSA in red looks the business! Speaking of the Enfield's I finally got out on the Guerrilla and really enjoyed it , sent a couple of photos, Have a good week , Cheers Mel 🍻
Splendiferous video Mr TAYM. All those nice bikes and sunshine too. I hope it's not the last nice day before the clocks go back and I wrap my bikes up for the winter. Take care.
Lovely to meet up with you Mr Taym, I think my vote got to be your very own bike .smashing colour. Looks so good in the flesh, then second place the yam 175 scramble. 😊
Fabulous machinery there TAYM... I remember a ride out I was on a few years back; a rider in the middle of the group decided to head for home early and took a sudden right turn off the prescribed route - 50 odd other riders ended up following him and ended up at his house by mistake ! 😅
Good one TAYM - Haywards is on the list for my next trip looks fantastic ! Ive put the Bullet Touring Seat on my Classic 350 and its great, changes the ergonomics makes it more spacious, now waiting for the new Bullet handle bars as you have to reach too far forward for the Classic bars ...reckon I'll do a full conversion to the Bullet ( all it needs is new tank, mud guards and covers :)
Hi Taym, beautifull bikes and what a nice shop haywards is! I did the one ride this sunday. On the road for 9 hours, still walking with a peace of meat om my buttom ha, ha. Thanks for this splendifferous video. Regards from Holland
Hi TAYM 👋. Haywards looks a fabulous place. And what a marvellous collection of oil leaks too !! 😂 l wonder if back in the day, dealers had a drip tray on the options list? 😂. Regards, Mo 😊👍.
Morning taym nice little meet up for a Saturday morning I take it that Norton 650 looks a beautiful bike for £6.500 be a nice bike for dry weather bimbling on a Sunday loads of chrome though to look after pity they don’t still do RE though Colchester Kawasaki sells RE so I here but I’ve also heard bad things about there servicing so not any dealers in this area is there now good video take care
@@TAYM hi I just can’t understand why there stopping selling RE when there doing so well in the bike market trouble is if there’s no dealers near to us you don’t want to ride half way across the country to get it serviced or get some parts fitted I certainly don’t do they’ll lose out on sales but we’ve got to spend double the money like buying triumph don’t tell Jake 😂😂so for me triumph it will have to be oh well that’s life take care mate 👍
@@nicholasjarrold8649 yes, sad but RE just put to many demands and restrictions on them. RE seem to care more about appearance of there dealers than about the service they provide.😕
Some lovely bikes but what caught my eye was the Bradbury 4 post hoist. Joseph Bradbury and Sons of Braintree, about 30 miles south of Burt St. E....) made and exported those all over the world in the 100s of thousands from the 1920s onwards. I even came across one in a small garage in outback NSW. Lot of history connected to those hoists. They are still being made to the same specs but not in Braintree anymore.
Know how you feel about Haywards, we have bike shops down here in Devon just give you a lovely feeling every time you go, now I am a pensioner keeps me out of trouble ( POOR 😢) but out of trouble, hopefully all these bike shops can keep going times are 😢 not easy for them.
My first mopeds were pedal start Raleigh runabout which I bought at 14 to strip with my dad. Sold the plate for quite a lot of money. Then got a mobylette and quite like it, again sold the plate and bought a 3 month old FS1e oooooh
Great video as always TAYM and some lovely bikes. Meant to ask before, where do you actually live? I lived in Bury for most of my life, as soon as the video started my first thought was "what's he doing in Mount Road" A long long time ago it was part of my school cross country run. If I tell you the nearby A14 was still a railway line, you'll know how long ago!
Always brilliant to have a mooch around Haywards I like dealerships that have some history. I do think it is a shame that the Royal Enfield connection has been broken but RE seem to be going more towards the more trendy dealerships which is a shame. I hope BSA works out for them but somehow I can't see BSA getting the volume of sales atm.
@@TAYM I Agree, their USP was that they were an everyman brand offering good value but they do seem to be pushing their brand image towards the premium more "hipster" type image.
Lovely bikes there TAYM but th RD400 stole the show fer me😉although that Suzuki 425 did come close I like that shape and model of GS .Take it you guys didn't fancy the ride out then might have missed some fun 😁I do wonder about the BSA brand still only one model out there unless you know something different maybe ?😊👍
I wish dealer's would carry old bikes here. I have found that you can buy old bikes by a person that will tell you what you want to hear and it's as is. 😊
Great excuse tho RR, what's more novel and new. My excuse, I was watching a yacht 40 footerish spinnaker out running before about a 15 knot northerly. Looked great just on dusk...so now motorbikes what a way to spend an evening...could do with a cheese burger tho thanks RR😊😊😊
Its such a shame that RE did not show the same loyalty to Haywards as Haywards did to RE , seems to me that RE are getting to big for their boots , i will consult Mr Cone on this
That little Yamaha 400 what a ripper, in my mind i could even smell it running. Thanks TAYM 😊😊
Yes, a cracking bike 😁 loved it 😁
Wow, that is a lot of eye candy! A vintage biker's dream dealer. Thank you for the video!
Absolutely 😁 thanks Wally😁
Funny how everyone walks past all the new stuff to see the proper old classics, fantastic.
😂😁 exactly as it should be 😁 every one of them with a story to tell 😁 thanks Mike 😁
Eh up Taym
Hope you’re all good mate some brilliant bikes and especially to me the BSA’s A10/A7/A65

Just watched it again, Mash thought it was a Yamaha 👍
😂😂😂a mash 400 😁 looks a fun bike 😁
Yes, it looks Yamaha ish from the 80s
I wish dealer's would carry old bikes here. I have found that you can buy old bikes by a person that will tell you what you want to hear and it's as is. 😊
Yes, a very risky business 😁 thanks Blake 😁
Is the ginger cat still there?
Don’t know🤔 I shall have to check 😁 thanks Loki 😁
Did the Enfield club end up following you home?
