33 motorcyclists meet up in the Irish mountains at Powers The Pot for the annual meeting of Royal Enfielders Ireland. This is the longest video i ever produced – well over 45 minutes, but it has EVERYTHING. Besides coverage of Royal Enfields old en new: Bullets, Classics, Interceptors and even a Constellation and a Model G, we welcomed Ariel, BSA, Triumph, MZ, Suzuki, Honda, BMW and then probably a brand I forgot. But it were the riders that made this event special. I even have a drive impression of a Classic 350, coverage of our ride out and an interview with the organiser. Janner (John) Fox. We also make fun of a mutual friend @Saddlebags73 – who is probably cringing when he reads this

Thank you Franky you are a total gent. Lovely video a tribute to all.
"He's not embarrassed, only a little bit red about it", witty as ever Janner. 🤣 Looks like it was a great weekend, i''m sorry I missed it! Great video Franky, nice mix of interviews, looks at bikes, and great views (The Vee is one of the best roads in Waterford, after the Copper Coast of course 😁)
That's wonderful. I spent 15 years on various royal enfields. I would have come by to meet and check out all the REs. Next time, do let me know. I will park the beemer sufficiently in the distance lol
lovely to see, Im in Japan and have a 40 year old enfield been my daily driver for 25 or more years . for me ! standard engine but built carefully. There is a couple of things that annoy me, the "rattly exhaust tappet block ! ( im working on a fix) and the clutch arm lift ratio ( and the front brake but thats mostly my laziness in set up !) Ill be riding that enfield for years and years to come !
