Me too! Thanks for watching !
I can't wait to see this. I am building a 1928 Morgan Aero RIP GN(MGB) Special hillclimb cycle car with 4 wheels. I found an opposed twin experimental aircraft engine that I mated to an MGB transmission with a hand cast aluminum two part adapter so we have 4 forward gears and one reverse. Then instead of using a GN rear I am using an MGB with juice brakes and beautiful wire wheels. I am starting my KZread channel with is build and I have not named my channel yet.

My first bike.If only they had that primary case when they came out as it was a travelling oil slick.Fond memories.
We want more MALCOM ! ! ! So was this Matchless assembled using BSW (British Standard Whitworth) fasteners, Metric or SAE ?

About 95% British components, the other 5% would be American on the shocks, brackets, etc then CAD plated
More videos Malcolm.

If your gonna ride it, you gotta start it - thanks for watching!
Nice bike. Was he smelling the exhaust at one point? Do rich and lean have different smells? The only problem with these CBS videos is they're too short. I'd like to see some longer form content from you guys . : )

Thanks for watching! Yes, rich and lean do have different scents.
First kick and then it settles into idle..? I think you know what you are doing. A happy British twin creates happy men and women.

The fuel tank hanging from the ceiling
That is an awful lot of oil pumping thru that motor.
