    Great video, I love seeing vintage bikes, used to have someone in the village I grew up in, who used to be in the March vintage bicycle club,, used to go and watch their Downhill championships, that was great fun, loosen wheel bearings then try and freewheel Downhill as fast as possible,

      Cheers Michael. I wouldn't fancy fast downhill on this machine... Especially if there were bends involved lol

      Makes you smile..... But solid tyres won't catch on 😂😂😂👍🙂

      😂 I remember my first brand new bike as a child had solid tyres , it kept braking spokes and got sent back so many times for repair!

    Looks like something from a steampunk convention!!! Quite impressive and I’ve never seen anything like it. Great vlog Paul and the music went well with the video 👌🙂👍

      Cheers Mark. I was real pleased with the music actually. If you look real close on the first music section the cadence is matching the beat 😂😳

    Nah, ditch the battery! Nothing like having a boiler up ya buns, keeping 'em toastie on those winter morns! 🤣

    Very unusual indeed. A tandem version is the way to go, at least you'd have enough hands to control it 😂 That step through with the moustache bars is a gem as well👍

    That’s fab!! He needs a small fake smoke machine to put in the chimney 😉 looks like you had fun, no left hand/arm signals though 😬 👍🏻

      Thanks Roz.... Keeps your coordination tested when you turn the motor on and off! Hope you're well

    Not a flash of red and white kit! Great to see you and the wheels - looked great fun (for a few miles) 😁

    that was AWESOME! Fab machine and loving your new cycling gear 😜. I would love a go…..The turning circle is better than mine as well 😂, brill vlog x

    • @PaulGreenVlog
      @PaulGreenVlog  Před 3 lety

      Turning circle did surprise me tbh..... Benefit of two wheels both turning I guess!

    Hi Paul. Great to bump into you and Graham. What a machine that was. Actually surprised by how easy the steering worked. 👌👌

    • @PaulGreenVlog
      @PaulGreenVlog  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi mate.... Yes indeed! I think turning both wheels helps hugely. With the battery power on full it was easy to get the big wheel in the air... But not a pleasant experience! Feel free to share as much as you like lol...... Like and subscribe tell your mates lol..... Good to meet you guys

    Hi Paul I can honesty say that looked hard work to me.your legs must have been burning. Mind you it did looked good fun . Having that big wheel next to you was a accident waiting to apon. I wonder if anyone in the passed lost fingers on the death machine . Great video mind you

      Damage to elbows and fingers most definitely must have occurred..... I couldn't show it whilst filming but it wouldn't be too hard to tip up! Fun though!
