C'mon now, Willie! That ain't you mate! You just hired some A.I. programmer to make this video. We all know it RAINS in Blighty and I don't see a single drop(let) of rain in this video! And just so you know, I used A.I. to create this version of me trying to sound British but I am Amurican. Your Bonnie is a beauty, brother! Keep 'em coming sir as I very much enjoy your thoughts on bikes and friendship. SS

It's great to see you riding your bike. I like it. I am the same as you and find it difficult to talk while riding the bike unless I have my Mrs on the back and she rabbits on and on. I am now hoping to see more of you riding although I have loved your video's so far. Your youth stories with your mates have both me and the Mrs in stiches. I haven't been on the bike all winter but now the summer is coming (I hope) more of my exploits will be uploaded. I ride a Hunter but am really considering getting the new Shotgun.

I have a surfola camera that I've mounted to my helmet that I think does better quality video than yours. They're not too expensive for what they are. Although the audio was much better from yours. I think I have to figure out an external mic for mine, otherwise is sounds like it's flying through the pits of hell. The bar end mirrors seem like they work fantastically on the bonneville as well. I think this test video was great and even if you don't upgrade the video quality I'd enjoy watching more like if you enjoy making them.

Why a K&N filter? why a booster plug? IMHO these are just fashionable gimmicks than may not make any difference to your riding experience. If you think you will ever need more power than the T120 produces then maybe you bought the wrong bike and the Speed Twin 1200 would be a better option. However, it has more power, but there is no such thing as a linear benefit, there are always drawbacks. The Speed twin 1200 does not have classic looks and you can expect a snatchy throttle. Don't get drawn into buying toys for your bike that it doesn't need. Do you ever ride with the throttle cracked wide open screaming like "Scotty that "the engine just canna take it"? I do understand the desire for a classic 350 Enfield as it has the looks and the sound of 1961. But other Enfields just do not have the build quality of Triumph.

Never have I mentioned wanting more power on ANY of my videos so not sure why you say that?
