  • Beautiful work!

  • Great bike. my Dad had a Matchless in the 50s, a 500 single, but I was too young to see it, and by the time I recognized bikes on the roads of Australia, all the old Brit bikes, (bar Triumph) were long gone. My question is this. Why did the English stop making V-twins, instead going with parallel twins?

  • A YEAR! IM IN YEAR 3 OF MY TIGER CUB!!!!!

  • Hey, my dad and I are restoring a Morgan 3 wheeler and we think it has a model x engine in it, but we aren't sure because people have told us that the way you can tell is that if the engine number engraved in the front crank case has an x in front of it. However, ours only says 1273 but it is faded and hard to see. Do you know if this is true, or what your engine's number is? Thanks, your videos are great and helpful!

  • well done,Sid.Thin the grease.

  • Wow. Sid. You're an inspiration. Thanks! I'm desperate to find and buy a Matchless X, and you've sealed it for me!!! Thanks so much. Your work on converting the AJS overhead cam is incredibly impressive.You're the George Brough of today!!

  • Beautiful bike
