Well done, thankyou for saving 1973 T140, I had one years ago, it was a bit special, got rid of all balance pipes, reverse cone megs fitted & dynamicly balanced crank, rods, pistons. Bowyer ignition mk2 Amals. It was the best bike that I ever had. Then some Bar-Stuard, stole it. Almost broke my heart. P/S, so glad you saved that crank. Some people think that a big hammer will fix (forse) anything*!?# 😵‍💫👹🙃

Had a 1964 Bonne. in Hi-School. Gold & white tank. Parcel Rack. Loved it ! Got drafted and had to sell it. Wish I had not . Got a 1967 Trophy now. Complete rebuilt from frame up. Former owner took out points and put in a little black box. Electronic Ignition. No more points to adjust or replace. Love to ride her, but morons on phone made her a garage queen ! I need to collect a few more SS checks before I go !

I've had a variety of motorcycles since I was 16. I worked on them myself and developed an appreciation for their craftsmanship. The feeling of riding a machine rumbling and vibrating between your legs with the sound is so enjoyable. I am 70 now. If I lived near you, I would help you work on your bikes for free. I love the passion and have been inspired by you. 6/15/22.

I'm doing the same job now. Mine was a running machine, but needed reconditioning. I was with the original owner, my best buddy, when he bought it from Jimmy Arnold's Triumph in Memphis in 1979. I have worked on this bike on and off for 42 years for 3 other friends who bought it from each other. Now it will stay with me, and I will ride with the original owner as he rides his 20 year old Honda Valkyrie this next summer. Oh, and yours looks great. Still riding it?

Gracias amigo. Precisamente estoy haciendo ahora, otra TR7RV de 1978 Un conocido me la ofreció en precio razonable y por descartar el proyecto de restauración. Ahora tendré tres, la Bonneville y dos Tiger.😉 No me importa, por que me gustan mucho. Su diseño clásico con su bonito motor (una escultura de Turner) y con sus cinco marchas muy bien escalonadas, la hacen una moto muy divertida. Hace tiempo que no subo ningún video al canal, pero siempre estoy haciendo cosas. He restaurado para amigos, pero prefiero hacer solo mis motos. Ahora he terminado, mi otra Honda Four K3 que quedo muy bonita, pero ya hice un video de mi K6 y no me gusta repetir. Ya veremos. Mi pasión son los hierros Británicos, pero también las alemanas, italianas, Japonesas, etc.😅 Si solo tiene 4000Km eso estará nuevo!! No sé si te valdría, abrir el motor. Con esos pocos km debería estar perfecto y con solo una buena limpieza, puede recuperar el aspecto de nuevo. También puedes quitar tapas y pulirlas. Pintar el resto, deposito, bastidor y cromar partes ya depende de tu criterio. En hora buena y si tienes alguna duda cuenta con migo. Saludos Loscar ✌

@Haskaybay 5 жыл бұрын

This is an interesting hybrid echoing essentially what Hinckley Triumph have been trying to do which is to capture the 'essence' of a Bonneville in their contemporary designs. For me some of it works really well some of it doesn’t especially the tail light area. The ‘gargoyle’ tail light, as it was known, wasn’t a highlight of BSA/Triumph's design history and making it erect IMHO hasn’t helped. Overall though it’s a valiant effort and one to be highly commended. Well done Loscar.
