don't ever sell it

That wagon would be about $30,000 now, adjusted for inflation. Good luck getting anything of any quality made in yhe states for that now. Closest comparable vehicle would be a grand caravan and they *start* at almost 50k 🤦‍♂️

Great video and thanks for not adding any stupid music to it and letting the cars do the talking

Fail !

keep up the great work!

When you let out the clutch on a WHOLE lotta money.......

Nice example, had mine since 75 48years. love it

Four pistons, two crankshafts joined by gears. Basically two engines in one block. A very expensive bike to build.

El Bronco es chatarra

Did he get back?

Being an SS owner since 1974, I have seen, heard, learned quite an amount of B50 tidbits over the years. I only deal with the b50s of the 71-72 years. (though I do have a 1974 tr5mx) At a glance, I would have indicated in your video that your bike has a larger european tank on it. That your front fender brackets are installed upside down causing the fender itself to hover higher over the wheel. Might be just a slip of the tongue when you say they were sold for the 71-73 years as only the B50MX was in the 73 lineup along with the rocket 3. (2 bikes only in 73) Right, yours leaks quite a bit. PIA, but the leak likely eminates from the countershaft sprocket. Mine does not leave a drop even with a month between rides. It weeps and you get blowback behind the engine itself, Having a B50 you end up realizing that the machine oozes a mist of oil from everywhere... generally. Take any other bike that needs to be wiped down with a rag periodicly and compare the ease of cleaning. Your bsa is a fine example of an unmolested unit. The B50 is an amazing athelete when it comes to handling twisty back roads and for me, has out run many a higher horsepower bike just due to cornering. I am no engineer or graduate of physics academy. But it has something to do with the offset hubs countering the engine placement in the frame. And they're so light at what...310lbs? I have low bars and have riden under a parked semi trailer. (dangerous!) I have run the gammit with b50's these last 50 years. Purchased in 74 as a one owner bike they were unknown of by the general population. Even then people would ask what is it. I read once that there was about 6,600 SS's produced. Most of which went to the us market. On the b50.org website you can punch in your vin number and see what port of entry your bike came from. They are a fun bike and a cursed lump too from time to time. In the later 70's and the early 80's the b50 was thought of as the ugly stepchild of the bsa line up. There was a time that no one wanted them. It is only because I bought 7 over the years and have cannablized those others in order to keep my 72 running (and an inventory of replacements) to this day. Last rebuild was finished up in 1999. And I have had to do little but enjoy since. Never a popular bike, they were disposed of early in ownership because the kickstand would bend. (trying to start it on the stand) The fenders would crack the tabs would crack on all the brackets. Tremendous vibration throughout the bike. Along with those lucas connectors and the pain of that box for all the components. Most SS's then were stripped for dirt riding and ruined for ever from being a beautiful classic road bike from a by-gone era such as yours. Here is an older production of "other people's b50's"... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITRdXSAqbWUkNE Enjoy that thing. To the folks our age you can tell it is a b50, or at least a 441 coming around the corner from a block away due to the "unique above any other" big bore 4 stroke single

this defenfer is not 2023 ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 it has 10,25 inch screen ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

But that throttle cable...........

Thanks for the video. Can you lay down in the back with the seats down? I’m 6’2”. Thanks edit: lay down straight. Lol. Not in fetal position.

How boring

I noticed you had a problem selecting gear! To stop this happening, use the kick start, 3 times with the clutch depressed, before starting. Providing the clutch is set up correctly, you will never have this problem again. Beautiful bike, the best square 4 I've seen!

Nice looking bike, mate. I agree they'd have had some fun with 'high violet' in Brum!! Hi Violet, Hi Ethel!!!

They did indeed do a 250 version & almost identical Triumph 250 called the Blazer. Yamaha based their XT500 heavily on this idea of a large trail bike .

Hey Phil, Great video. I was seeing almost the exact same thing last night! Do you live near Ellis?

I was there this morning to next time we'll have to say hi to you

you drained the sump you must have!

Royal man's choice. His love.

Beautiful bike but it would be nice to hear it run

broncos r lame anyway

When is the next Tracy cars & coffee?

El motor es 4 en cuadro?

I had a Defender and now have a Bronco, and just want to say that the Bronco is utilitarian and deliberately designed with cheaper interior materials to be able to get it dirty, inside and out, and clean it easy. Us Bronco owners do not want fancy leather and wood trim in something we intend to drive through muddy trails and dusty deserts lol. The Interior is VERY easy to clean, even if it gets muddy. I love it. The Defender wasn't up to the punishment on the trails, so I had to get rid of it.

If you’re going to do a review, can you please plan it so you don’t blather aimless random waffle. Please.

lovely....no machine sound??

oh my lordy lord 🥺 look at that old beauty 🥹❤ me so likey 🫨❤️🤗

Time check and to put some oil in that bike.

When are they going to have another classic car show in Tracy, I've got a 1966 Mustang my dad bought brand new and now it's mine I'd like to bring it down to the next event

Will it cruise at 65mph?

Thanks for sharing, being cautious is fine on first ride, you were gentle by not grinding it in first gear which shows you care about the bike. As people say we are only caretaker’s of these fine machines. I give you thumbs UP.

that was painfull

Absolutely beautiful bike. Yes I too would be proud to own her.

😍

OMG my dad had one. I would have been three years old in 1960 and he had a sidecar fitted.

Looks perfect, love the risers !!

Nice car, The thing you have to check is the upper rear window frame, if the rubber on the top under the hinges isn't good anymore, water could go in the inside of the window frame and rust van inside

🔥😎

If only they had gone to the next step and transformed it it to a V4.

💘💘❤❤💕💕

Thank you for sharing this! I’m in Oregon and looking at buying a ‘66 wagon to use as a daily! Amazing cars!

Przepiękny motocykl śliczne cacko

She's one handsome ride. Beautiful lines. Lovely colour & chrome work too.

Thanks Phillip for the presentation, so glad you did the walk-around before disposing of the car ( Vitesse mk1 ) 1967. We all get burn't once, when emotion takes over from commonsense. So glad the AA was compassionate enough to mobilize the car again from the Stromberg mishap alongway from home. I have picked cars in my native New Zealand 🇳🇿 from train whilst travelling for hours. But not a Triumph! Some Vitesse's even down under in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Hope the Vitesse bug wasn't totally extinct yet in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 😉
