Just by way of comparison with yer man's video, my 'stock' (apart from indicators and front brake switch) '67 P11 in rural Essex yesterday.. Video gear is cheap MUVI clip on camera the size of half my llttle finger, picture okay but picks up a lot of wind noise and my jacket flapping!!

Looks like a private video EB… ‘not granted access’…

TBH I've just uploaded it as 'public' to youtube but it's not due to be 'published' 'til midnight...
Shows here okay, but I'm not the most PC savvy person, so may need further work tomorrow :-(

Will probably be accessible after midnight then

Wind noise on my first couple of videos sounded like new age music. I was starting to think my camera was picking up a radio station on another planet.

I'm more of a non-compliant nuisance than a Norton interweb community inspirational resource. lol

Looking forward to seeing what you came up with. YouTube is just trying to protect the kiddies out there with the hold time on publishing video, which is a good thing given how many crazy people are wondering around on the 3rd rock from the sun.

It's watchable now.
Mmmmmm. Sounds good.

Thanks, wasn't sure I'd clicked the right boxes..
Re: Sound... Until I'd confirmed the pistons fitted (cheap Chinese endoscope, awesome tool!) I 'played safe' with cooler plugs.
Trouble is they furred up pretty quickly whilst I was strobing the timing in the garage, leading to an impressive array of full throttle misfires which sounded like I was restoring an ack ack gun!!
Now she purrs politely

Yep, vid works good EB. Bike sounds sweet too.

Another Norton P11 rattler hits the road.

Nice horn use. Good job getting that P11 back on the road. It looks great from the in the saddle view.

That video is as good as one would expect from an overpriced action camera. I liked that hill run right at the end. Engine sounds good to me.

How many times did you hit 160 kph?

Passed my mate Julie's house, hence the toot ;-) Julie used to ride a Sunbeam S8 chopper, not sure if that's a good or bad thing!

Just nice to have it 'match fit' and back in the first team again, I don't like being a: 'I've got one of those in the shed' guy. It WILL make a great ornament one day, but I'll decide when that day is, 'til then it has to earn it's keep!

Did see 90mph at one point, but on these roads traffic can surprise you at anytime, so just happy it can hit 6k rpm in the first three gears should I wish to, without damage to bike or me
