    Bigfoot has been spotted in Suffolk as an "Eye" witness ( 😊 ) describes huge Teddy
    Bear like creature kickstarting a motorcycle in broad daylight .
    Police would like to interview this suspect about possible licencing offences including operating a motor vehicle whilst in possesion of a "man bun " , polishing whilst unqualified and displaying a non reflective rear end .
    As he made his getaway , other witnesses described him as " very Dobbslike in appearance , but fatter ,older , not so good looking with a manical laugh .
    A cardboard cut out of Mr Dobbs commented , " there's far too much of this sort of thing going on these days , a person doesn't feel safe in his thin shed anymore " .
    Another large Sasquatch like specimen was seen lurking in the neighbourhood on an identical machine , which when approached emmitted a heart stopping cry of " marvellous" and fled at a slow rate of knots.
    These creatures seem attracted to rural dungheaps and have been seen cavorting and talking to imaginary people .
    Police are warning the public to not approach them , thedungheaps that is .
    The Bigfoots are entirely harmless geriatric motorcyclists .😂
    Or are they 😈 ?

    Thanks for the latest update Willie. Those mirrors look fine to me. If they work as intended, wouldn't rush to swap them. Those engine cases are coming up nicely, and to be fair, you've had a good start as the bike is already in excellent nick by the looks of it. That dent in the tank probably won't come out fully with mechanical techniques but a decent bodyshop will be able to fill it and repaint it to give an invisible repair. I really like those wheels so it's now 76% in favour 😅

    Good evening Will.
    first time commenting on your channel really enjoying it.
    The classic 500 definitely has the best colour way in my opinion and i actually think the bar end mirrors look good given they’re the cheaper option.
    I’m looking at taking out the Enfield Bear for a test ride it’s basically a toss up between that and the classic 650.

    Reference your freezing garage, I have just has a garage door fitted that is insulated made by a company called Skandoor. Then with the help of a neighbour have put 50 mill insulation on the walls and 100 mill insulation on the roof of the garage. Then plastic barrier and OSB boarding to finish off, just finished today. Now a small oil filled radiator keeps the garage as warm as you want it. Also replaced the old fluorescent lights with LED replacements from Toolstation. Can now do an oil change on my Classic 350 in comfort !
    As for your wheels I went to Hitchcocks and replaced my spoked wheels with alloys as I much prefer tubeless tyres, plus the spokes were wrecked after I forgot to rinse them off after a ride on salted roads a year ago, Uncle Stu ripped me off a strip for not following his cleaning schedule 😂

    • @theodavies8754
      @theodavies8754 День назад

      Ebay has plenty to choose from.
      You will need to provide a picture of the V5 but cover over the long number on the front with your driving licence.
      They are technically a show plate from 1971? onwards.
      Not supposed to pass an mot but other than that I haven't heard of anything getting stopped for just the plate.
      Add noisy pipes and speeding to improve your chances.

    • @2wheeledwillie395
      @2wheeledwillie395  День назад

      Ebay buddy £13.99.. They are classed as "show plates" don't need to provide V5 details.. Mine is velcro on with industrial velcro, that's what I've always done and it works a treat 👍

    • @2wheeledwillie395

      @theodavies8754 23 часа назад

      @2wheeledwillie395 It's a grey area.
      In the spirit of compliant require a V5.
      It's still OK to reduce the dimensions leaving a ½" border.
      I lay them flat and spray paint the back, it helps if it looks like it's supposed to be there regardless of some of the nonsense requirements.

    It occurs to me that if your wheels are larger than normal, then your speedo' (if fixed) will read too slow. Check the size marked on the tyre. You may have to rely on GPS for speed. 👍👍

    It's nice to have wheels that let you use tubeless tires even if they are not 100% authentic. You can't see them when you are riding. Don't worry about the purists that want you to take them off. It's not their money now is it. I'm surprised the seller didn't fix things like the side stand switch and speedo before selling it. Here in Canada it would have to pass a safety inspection before getting a license plate and new registration. It's looking good even with the dent in the tank. Gives it character.

    The Classic 500 looks great!! Your 'T' prefix number plate was originally from a 1999 registered vehicle and as you can really only use black number plates on vehicles originally registered on or before 1980, your number plate wont help you lol but the police don't really take too much notice and if you do get a tug, you can always plead ignorance, that usually works. You will have to put the yellow one back on for the MOT though, otherwise it will fail mate. Unless your garage pretends not to notice 🙂

    Willie, I can't understand why you were so scared of that kickstart. Back in the day(s) that's all we had, even though some of the Japanese machines had electric starters. They often didn't work after the bike was a bit older and some kickstarts were even on the "wrong" left side (Suzuki T500, MZs, etc). So, Man up, build up your right leg muscles, start walking in circles because of it and exercise your size 15 boot. 😄
