What a beauty, my salutations! .... that's some commitment to restore the only icon running "wow" didn't knew much about Matchless motorbikes, my interest in Matchless bikes grew when my Dad said my uncle had one I contradicted named quite a few other British bikes but knew nothing about Matchless but Dad affirmed it was a Matchless. Like someone wrote this bike would have given Harley people goosebumps. My uncle sold off the bike once he met with a fatal accident ..... would love to own one someday. Though I have a Royal Enfield and an Aprilia. Great keep, best wishes.

Thanks for taking the time to get this up here. Can't imagine what some folks have against hearing some gulls. They just evoke a happy seaside feeling with me. The incidental music's a bit anachronistic though. Much as I enjoy Surfin' Bird, something from the late '30s like Glenn Miller's In the Mood or maybe Gene Autry's Back in the Saddle might have been more appropriate.

Thanks for your positive comments, impossible to satisfy everyone...some people love the music, some people hate the gulls, 12 people don't like the bike, 326 like it.... I did what I wanted, I did what suited me.... If I did what everyone else liked, I might as well take the video off, but I appreciate and thank your positive comments...les phelps

I can't believe there is 9 thumbs down, I would love to see what they've built. I can restore to a good standard but you haven't restored this bike you have engineered it into a beautiful bike, beautiful engine and you live in a beautiful town, I would consider calling you beautiful and believe me thats a big call for me if you spend the next 6 years building me one.

The other Matchless feature of the time that should have gone to the Model X is the cantilever, monoshock rear suspension from the Silver Hawk and Silver Arrow. I wonder why Matchless omitted this from their top of the line Model X? By this time, in addition to Matchless’ Silver bikes New Imperial, HRD-Vincent and of course Brough Superior had cantilever rear suspension.

Sir, what is her top speed and acceleration? I understood that her frame is largely custom-built, so how does she handle? And her brakes, for a Brough Superior spec engine, designed to attain high speed, are her brakes adequate or have you ever felt the need to install discs?
@davidphelps74405 жыл бұрын
Hi, frame is standard Model X, 1939. A Brough SS100 has. Ratio of 3.5-1.. This has a ratio of 3.37-1..this should be well over 100mph..This engine pulls a Morgan 3 wheeler car with 2 people...my opinion..its the most beautiful V twin engine ever made....and bulletin proof....The brakes are period, original...meant to be used about 30mph..if they were original asbestos linings..they were as good as modern...many thanks for your interest....les

Fantastic one-off, non-original custom bike. Those headers and mufflers strike me as a little odd in their bends and placement, ditto for the frame mods, but this is a great home-brew machine nonetheless. Dubbing it a SS100 is a little off-base in linking it as some "equivalent" version of the mighly Brough SS100 that, indeed was an original, non-customized, homemade machine. That sound track only adds to the impression made by this, ummmm, building exercise. Sheeze.
