Hi, today we back track, from our last ride, to see where a lane I was unsure whether I should have taken, ended up. So glad I did, ok it was rough, and covered in potholes / gravel / grass, but it was a joy non the less !
I was also trying out another different setting on the camera recording volume (-8), plus a different mic position, in an attempt to stop clipping from happening. Although it was an improvement, we still aren't quite there yet !
Hey - Ho !
After reading the title on the thumbnail, I bet you can’t get the Blondie tune 🎵 out of your head 😂
Thanks for watching.

Hello From Canada Ian. Many thanks for the lovely rides through countryside that I shall probably never visit again.
We enjoy your mutterings and observations, don't change anything. And between you and Fillingham and Bingley, you've collectively been at least partially responsible for me buying an Interceptor while on the wrong side of 70 years old, it's brilliant and brings back memories of my old Commando. Cheers.
Thanks John, so happy that you enjoy my ride videos. The Interceptor is true to heritage, with a modern twist in my opinion. The only gizmo’s being what it needs for worldwide emissions etc. With a nice set of exhausts, it does bring back memories of old British twins, though I guess your old Commando was more of a thrill. Keep riding until you can ride no more 😎. Thanks again.
Love them bikes I’m going to have to get one eventually
They really are good. I hope to do a “nearly two year” review soon, warts and all 😉 though honestly, there aren’t many warts 😂
G’day Ian, enjoyed the that ride some very nice little roads and scenery
Thanks for the mention 😊
Sound is very clear, not much popping
Cheers mate 👍😁
Thanks ABD. Sound was ok for the majority, but that bit behind the car was annoying 😢🙉 Cheers
Morning Ian, sorry for the delayed response... Another nice ride down the back roads on a bike well suited to them. As an observation re the comments on sound, the complaint's appeared to come from a classic example of a Whinging Pom. Folks like that give your fellow-countrymen a bad name! 😁 I think he was really referring to the high-speed part at the end of the video, where your voice did get a bit indistinct.
Morning Chris. That fellow, just wouldn’t let go, so I asked him to unsubscribe, which thankfully he has now done ☑️. It is this inconsistency regarding higher speed audio recording, that I am trying to get right. For the next ride out, I have returned the settings to those I used on the Himi 450 video, with my only fear being that the exhaust note won’t be quite as good. All a learning curve. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield What, you haven't been able to get it perfect immediately, Ian? Tut-tut! 🤣 Never mind the begrudgers; as you say, it's a learning curve.
I enjoyed that ride, as usual. Thanks Ian!
Thanks Gap.
Another cracking ride Ian, definitely a route suited to the 350, I think that’s one of the great things about these bikes, they make you want to go exploring the little back roads, the roads you would have avoided with bigger bikes, I like the new position of the SJCAM good perspective and the clamps cover up any excessive speeding 😉😂 as for having Blondie in my head, she’s been there since 1974 😂😂 all the best buddy 👍
I was a fan of Debbie and co too Mick 😎. Yes, love exploring these lanes, to find where they actually end up. Even though I had an idea, it didn’t necessarily mean it would end up where I thought 😂. Cheers
Great sound !
She does sound well, cheers.
Enjoyed the ride our Ian. Video/sound is brilliant.Unlike the weather you had on the ride. Similar to Wales, overcast,BUT DRY. Managed a ride out earlier today on RE.Hunter. Dolgellau area. Until the next time. Ride safe. Bfn Mike
Thanks Mike. Nice to know you are getting out and about. The Hunter would love that ride up and over Cadair Road 😉
Heading out today if no snow, cheers from Chicago
That’s good news, strangely enough, according to forecasts, the uk is set to be hit by a few days of snow in the next few days. 🙄
Good to see all those roads again Ian, that church was where my wife’s school bus used to turn and head back down"
Glad you enjoyed it, and it brought back some memories. Thank you
Nice one Ian.....
Thanks Henry 👍
I enjoy the curves of the side roads in Florida once you get away from the interstate highway. Less traffic,monster trucks,etc. Have to keep an eye out for loose cows though.
Morning Ian , love doing this just buggering off down the lanes seeing where I end up .
I've got a destination this morning though, I'm off to The Old stores bike cafe in Mold, for breakfast then onto wherever! 😆
Cheers Mel 🍻
Thanks Mel, sounds like a plan. A bit chilly up here this morning, take care.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield cheers, got my thermals on 👍
@melfzs just taken our new pooch out for a walk, thermals definitely required 😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield it was definitely chilly when I got there 😆, I had a bacon and egg bap and two brews, then carried on to Llanberis pass , I did 230 miles round trip! 😆
@melfzs epic trip. Mick (5D traveler) will be putting his daytime ride from Capel Curig to Porthmadog up soon. I have contributed to it with some p.o.i’s. Ann and I lived and worked for the National Trust in Snowdonia (Beddgelert) for about 2 years, so quite familiar with the area. Cheers
Morning Ian enjoyed that over my breakfast. Those were really nice quiet lanes to explore despite the white van. Have a great week off catch you next time. 👍
Thanks Nick. Can’t beat a bit of “where does that road go” 😂
That 350 engine is a gem..just the sound is so lovely. Mine is in India....can't wait to return and ride mine in sepember😊
Wow, a bit far to nip on it for a quick ride 😂 Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I spend the winter months in India every year. I'm retired
@oldguzziguy nice 😊
Morning Ian 😊 your mic sounds fantastic to me. Do you need a screen ? 😅 I was thinking any time now Peter will be tootaling the other way, but no TMF sends one of his mates to put you in a ditch 😮 every time you ride over the M6 I think the video is going to end, the sound is good Ian well very good thanks for the mention and the M6 ending perfect 👍
Morning James. No I don’t want a screen ta 😂. Peter will probably do it within the next couple of weeks 😉 (btw we don’t subscribe to each other). Yes that van was on a mission 🙄 Hopefully the setting I used on the Himi 450 video (recorded after this), will still bring out Clementine’s exhaust note, and no clipping like on here. Cheers.
I alway find your sound good and the video but I can understand you wanting to improve 👍🏍️
Thanks Donna. Really it is due to being consistent with the audio, when riding different bikes. Trying to get it sounding as good when doing a demo ride with a bike fitted with a screen and going a bit quicker (more wind noise), as when riding Clementine. Not easy 😂
Thought the sound was really good, what set up are you using ?
@Butlers_Bike_life thanks, more clipping than I would like but a constant work in progress. Set up is a DJI Osmo Action 3, plus their own mic adapter and lav mic, with furry dead cat. On this video, in camera recording volume set at -8 then increased in editing. On the Himi 450 video (recorded after this one), I returned the recording volume to -6 (again increased in editing), which I am starting to think is the optimum at the moment. Though I need to get out on Clementine again, with these settings and the dead cat, to make sure we still get to hear her gorgeous exhaust note. Cheers
Sound was good to me Ian and Clementine in her element ! I have been watching Glyn Owen with his Classic 350 project and was amazed at the quality of the internal of the engine. Even more impressive was the quality and tensile strength of the bolts used on the engine casings, why would you replace them with inferior strength stainless steel bolts ? Hope your mums appointments go well 😊
@Peter234100 thanks Peter. Watching Glyn’s video is on my to do list today.
Nice run Ian good visually and the sound was really good just little bit of what I would describe as fluttering in the sound for a very short time not sure why maybe it's was me 😉but some lovely scenery too cheers👌👍
Thanks Mal. Yes that “fluttering” is what I want to eliminate. It appears occasionally, and spoils the whole video for me. Yes I am my worst critic 😂. It’s all a case of trying to find a “one for all” setting, which still highlights Clementine’s exhaust, and copes well enough when I do demo rides on bikes with a screen, or quicker bikes. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I reckon your pretty close to it being perfect 👍
Thanks Mal. See Paul Foster’s comment, he thinks I am mumbling and I need to get my mic sorted ! 🙉🙄😂
Realizing it is apples and oranges, how does the riding experience of the Classic 350 on these roads, for these purposes, compare to the Himalayan 450 that you just tested. I mean obviously it is both bigger and faster and the slightly more off-road capable suspension make the 450 different than the Classic 350. But I mean is the 350 as nice a practical and enjoyable ride for you out there in the country side? OR, really, all things considered should a person now just get the Himalayan 450 if an Enfield single is what one is looking at.
In an ideal world, I would have both. The 350 is great for just pottering about, but when a more “spirited” ride is needed, the 450 would fit the bill. Also, although yes you can do big mileages on the 350, it takes that bit longer. If you want to go further afield, then do some lanes, then the long ride home,the 450 would be ideal. Hope this makes sense. Cheers
For what you pay in fuel prices the roads should be in immaculate shape. What would you do if you had a side car outfit and a car was coming the other way? Those roads are so narrow.😮
We love our lanes as they are, having an outfit would only be like driving a car, you just have to get out of each other’s way.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Your car drivers most be more polite.
@frankmarkovcijr5459 it’s a case of give way or we will be stuck for hours 😂
Morning Ian Why is it saying no comments,? When there's two?🤔
I really don’t know, probably another bloody CZcams glitch 🙄🤬
Hi Mel, can you do me a favour and leave another comment, anything will do. Nick, (SilverFox) has put a comment on, and is the only one showing. Maybe CZcams hadn’t woken up as early as us 🙄😂
Hi Mel, I have just had a notification from CZcams stating that others creators have experienced the same issues, and are working on a fix. Thanks for pointing it out to me though 👍
@@ianhughesroyalenfield ah great stuff , no problem 👍
What about emissions control on the 🐎?😂😂
Not applicable 😂
All i can hear is Mumbling,
You need to get your mic sorted?
Really ? I think you need hearing aids 😉
@@ianhughesroyalenfield
Not really,
Your bike engine is as loud your voice,
So the two are clashing,
This is why it sounds like you are mumbling,
I'd listen to a few other folks CZcams channel's before you have a go at me,
And you'll HEAR the difference LOL 😅
May I suggest that you look at all the other comments on here, and ask yourself why you are the only person having difficulty hearing my voice.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield
I'm actually listening through Big speakers on a television,
So the base is probably drowning out your voice which is quite low,
Again I Suggest you check out other more sophisticated CZcams channels like The Bingley Wheeler' or Stuart Fillingham and get up to their sound standards,
Cheers Paul
Can’t please everyone, oh and Mr Fillingham does voice over, not recording as he rides.
