I very very appreciate positive comments about my English. No, I am not perfect, but I am willing to be. I am learning a new language. If you were learning Slovak language (as my native language) I'd be very happy and respect your hard work, so I don't understand why people don't appreciate my efforts. If you couldn't understand my speech, I'd understand that, but even native English speakers can. Please, give me a break, I am doing my best. One day I would like to be as fluent as a native guy, perhaps even with a proper English accent. To those who ask I am not going to stop talking, I enjoy that even though it actually takes more time to finish the video. Cheers to you, buddies, I very appreciate you enjoy these videos, I do my best to keep them entertaining and educational. Stay cool!

@JustAboutAnything66 7 років тому

I understand you just fine, what I don't understand is why people are complaining. Your accent is just fine. I'm trying to learn Spanish as a second language, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. Keep up the good work!

@alantatham3113 2 роки тому

In 1974 I had one of the rare Wartburg Knights imported into the UK, it was a superb car, well built, well designed, Before the Knight I had the earlier Wartburg saloon which was a very heavy car and for some odd reason because it had a separate contact breaker to each cylinder was very difficult to start, so only had it for a year and bought the Knight which was fine, The 900 cc engine was so good it even towed our caravan around the highlands of Scotland, I still have a unique wheel jack sitting in my garage at home, (going free to a Wartburg enthusiast)

The H1 was nor more "evil handling" than any other large Japanese bike of the day. You didn't really want to try dragging knee on any of them, but if you rode like a sensible human being, they're fine. Problem is, the H1 and later the H2 were the fastest accelerating stock street-legal vehicles in the world at the time, dusting all other bikes and all stock muscle cars. On top of that, they were WAY cheaper than the big 750 Honda or any of the hot British bikes. That means they attracted a certain type of rider: young, inexperienced, and crazy. So people died on the triples, for the same reason people die on cheap Craigslist R1s today. Also, when riding one today, the addition of modern tires and shocks make them extremely tame. If you want a Kawasaki triple but held off because of the reputation, just get one. If you're into vintage bikes, they're as good as anything.

8:30 We had a similar coupe in 1950's and sixties in Brasil, largely used in racing. It was called Puma DKW / GT Malzoni. It has a 1 litre DKW / Auto Union 2 stroke engine. 75hp. Also the first car of my grandparents in countryside was a DKW "jeep". Yep, a DKW-Vemag Candango. Also 1 litre 2 stroke, also a just front traction chepper version, also they lived in a slippery slope. So sometimes they had to back and increase speed to climb the hill.

Is it just me or doesn't it always sound like 2 stroke engines sound like they're gonna die when idling

Yeah the 2 stroke mopeds and dirtbikes always sound like they are abt to die but not the cars i think

I had a 1975 Kawasaki 250 triple. With expansion chambers,K&N air filters, and re-jet the carbs, it was the fastest bike I ever rode. I weighed over 200lbs and it went 125mph down a runway at the airport I worked at the time. Wish I still had it.

Trabants also can sound pretty cool I think, but a huge like for starting with the Wartburg! Would you make an eastern block special? I think on this side of the iron courtain were some quite great, or really cute cars!:)

@rossmennie4903 7 років тому

Balázs Bartha I agree. Those cars, like the Warburg,Trabant, Lada, etc. are fascinating. They may have been tin cans, but you could fix them in your bedroom with some screws that you've found in your pocket and they had to survive brutal East European winters. Also, you could buy them for what would amount to a month's rent in western countries!

Just to add as a correction, I owned two SAAB 2 cycle cars, a 1962 96 Sedan and a 1965 95 Wagon, both with 850 cc engines. The 750 cc SAAB engine was used only in the 1956 through '59 SAAB 93 models, and a year for the more powerful 1960 SAAB Sport 750. These cars were only 3 speed transmissions, with non synchro first gears. My 36 H.P. 1962 SAAB sedan got 32 to 36 mpg, as long as you didn't drive it for performance, which was better economy than the 40 hp VW of the same year. Part of their getting good mileage was they had a freewheel between the clutch and transmission. JFYI

With the assumption that this script was written by you, I'd say your English is already more fluent than some native English speakers I know. Keep at it- your vocabulary is excellent, it's just the nuances and enunciation that need work. Gotta say not having seen any of your content in some time I was surprised when I heard a voice.

The suzuki quadracer was a damn good quad. Mine needed to be rebuilt so my dad took it to a guy that worked for him. When he was done with it you had to pull start it behind a truck and it was absolutely insane. It was over 350cc when he was done. Cant remember it was originally a 250 or 350cc to start with. I just remember I had no problem burning the tires off on pavement even from a roll and the when the powerband kicked it, it scared most anyone who drove it. That included a few light modified guadracer owners and some pretty heavily modded banshees

Thanks for this video, very well made. My uncle, God rest his soul, was a Saab 2-stroke fanatic, he built at least 4 engines in his home shop and restored at least 3 or 4 old two stroke Saabs, I loved riding in those beasts, they sounded amazing. His dream was to build a monster 3 cylinder Saab engine with 3 carburetors and higher performance.

@ogdrifter9977 7 років тому

@177SCmaro 7 років тому

Manny Hysten That's because both Wankel engines and 2 strokes produce 1 exhaust pulse per cylinder, or rotor, per revolution of the crankshaft, or eccentric shaft. Wankels are such odd engines. They run on 4 cycles, but produce power more like a 2 cycle.
