Matchless X 3 (998cc, v twin) 1931; starting and running the bike. in HD

Starting is simplicity itself, provided you know what you're doing. These old British v twins have a technique all their own. You'll love the sound it makes! If you want to see me riding it take a look at my other videos. My Youtube channel is : drallanhunter.

hello arcanacelestia, you seem to have missed the point.

They were the 'superbikes' of the 30s, really, now we think about it. The Matchless was very similar to the Brough Superior SS80, which was THE bike to have, unless you could afford the Brough SS100!!

I grew up with old motorcycles. It is just as wonderful each time I see such a work of art. Do I know the smell .. it's something special about this. Thanks for the "video"
