Fascinating video. Not exactly cutting edge technology so dependent on rider acumen. I cen't recall a time I had to cut throttle so the engine got some oil........
Just amazing that he can still ride a 100 year old bike on today's roads and keep up with traffic. Makes one appreciate today's machines.
The end was a bit boring. Obviously an old motorcycle like that doesn’t compare with modern motorcycles for a daily ride, but you don’t get on one of those for the same reasons. You get on one to take a trip back in time, it’s a time machine. On another thread I asked about bobbers and their ride. This actually demonstrated it very well. It’s all in the seat and so forth. Interesting. Certainly found the idea interesting reminder that oil like gasoline was a consumable on these and you had to account for keeping the oil flowing and eventually refilling. Thanks for this post!
