With a sales pitch like that “...bad camera angle, traffic jams and cursing.” How can I resist? Thanks for the ride as always Paul! That’s a nice clean Honda!
When riding with my liter bike friends, I always had a great handful of throttle on my 1965 Black Bomber 450. For all the stick I gave it, it never complained in any fashion. A few years back the Bomber skyrocketed in value and I took an irresistible offer.
Glad I got to go along. The traffic here in Wooster Ohio is terrible. Everyone is looking at their cellphone and not the road. The other issue we have are deer. Their everywhere, one ran in the front door of our local Walmart in mid day. Thanks for taking the time.
Nice enough ride, mate, but devoid of the mellifluous british 2 or 1 Cyl. engine note...for which, if we reason it out, is a major reason for us prancing-about on our machines...hither & thither. Especially the latter.
Ah - I will let you into one of the best kept secrets - a big [ish] 180 degree twin like this is like a cross between a British style 360 degree twin and a big single, a total revelation if you ever get the chance to try one. Also, a CB500T on open meggas can make your ears bleed!
@@paulhenshaw4514 Paulie...I have a bias against most Nipponese-bikes. Their 2-stroke, throw-away, 'rice rockets' were intriguing enough, in a transitory manner, but the DOHC, high revving 4-strokes arouse me not. AND, I suppose, I place the majority of blame, for destroying the British motorbike industry, on Soichiro Honda. (Albeit, I'm conveniently forgetting the rather horrendous reliability record, oil leakage problemmes, poor management decisions, etc. of the English machines.)
@@amelierenoncule To be fair, not all Japanese bikes were / are great and the CB500T models have a poor reputation, for no real good reason - a bit like the BSA A65's we love so much. The British bike industry would have done much better if Edward Turner hadn't been so pig headed and arrogant - we could have had the triples in 1963 if it weren't for him and the likes of 'Bike magazine' helped drive more nails into the coffin of our industry during the seventies. There are bikes from many parts of the world which I like, although the British machines are largely my favourites, but they also made plenty of not so good models!

Thanks - just telling it like it is!
What a rarity! A sunny day in mid-Wales! Ignore the dislikes Paul - they haven't got a classic to ride.......

Don't brace yourself on my account. I always enjoy your rides, even the ones with no Enfield.
Nice looking bike
Thanks!
Stop making these videos with you CB500, you’re making me regret selling mine! :)
Sorry!
