Just watched this again what fantastic roads and countryside the sound of this bike is awesome don't understand why these bikes weren't as popular as the other makes. to me they are just as good great video 👍
Beautiful absolutely beautiful ride, thank you, haven't been on as nice a ride since 50 years ago on my 1964 Triumph 500 through the forests of Ben Lomond to the beach in Santa Cruz Ca. Thank you again. Nice bike too by the way, its got good power!
wow ! All that great care you took on the rebuild has paid off...the engine sounds perfect. How did you learn your engineering skills ? Love that road too. Don't recall seeing another vehicle
@@atlasvantech hi I've seen a matchless g12 1959 for sale its in Excellent condition engine rebuilt but just 70 miles put on since rebuild been dry stored wants £4995 for it does that sound about right for one of these bikes sorry to bother you with such a question regards mick
@@shingerz Not at all Mick, Difficult to know. If it's in cracking condition it should be fine at that. I'm considering selling on mine as a new project has presented itself. I need £6000 for my G12, but it has all the Craven Luggage and crash bars on it (videoed). Let me know if you're interested! Regards. Malcolm.
Nice vid malc, perfect conditions as well which is always nice , great job sir 👍
Thank you Andy.
I am getting ready to restore a 1941 Matchless G3L. I suspect I will be sending some parts out to professionals. I envy your skills sir. Ride safe.
Thank you cavman7, best of luck with the 41 G3L. Look forward to seeing some pics!

Awesome! well done my friend.
Thank you, Mark👍
That is a work of art, looks completely original except maybe the pipes ?
Glad you enjoyed. She's a very original bike. If not original, I believe the pipes and megaphones are excellent replicas!
Looks good, sounds great! Could have been out riding my identical bike.🏍👍😎
Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed! Once the good weather comes in we'll all be able to self isolate on our bikes!
Sounds really nice, well done
Glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated!
Sounds great.
Thank you, Michael👍
Played back at x2 speed -- yea one day I might grow up.
Never grow up Auld Teuchter, stay young and enjoy a blat through the pines on yer bike!
Joyous 👍
i have a 1962 g12 , are the pistons different to the earlier g12s ?
They are. they are completely flat with cut outs for the valve clearances. I think there was a difference in the cylinder head too!
