Well Tom made an error of judgement, correct me if I'm wrong, at 5.34 woman waiting to cross Zebra crossing, he drove straight over?

When I was a learner, in the late 70s, I fitted the plastic front L plate between the headlamp and mudguard of my Honda CD175. It scraped the top layer of paint off the mudguard! I had wanted a Tiger Cub but couldn't find one and the Honda was a reliable bike. These days, I ride an AJS Model 8, very similar to Tom's Matchless. I love this video for it's view of the world just 4 years after my AJS was built and when I was 8 years old.

Is this fuel controller also could be as a fuel pump relay? I believe it is what it is. In that case , bypass the solid State relay is definitely a good idea . Any DC motor has a coil. Once the DC power supply is switched off , there s a back current.. That s how sparks happen on a spark plug (the DC supply of the ignition coil is turned off and that produce the park). Bypassing this relay means that the back current will flow to the unit that provide this dc supply (most likely it s the ECU). Over some times , this back current could damage the ECU. I believe that s the reason BMW uses this solid state relay . I would suggest to buy an off the shelve solid state relay and mount it where there s some place. Solid state Relay (électronique relay without mobile contact) are cheap.. Ride safe

In the last 34yrs I’ve had 2 VFR’s and that’s due to the first one being written off after 4 months of ownership. My 97 FV runs like a watch and is more dependable than a wood burning stove. Don’t need breakdown recovery, just a plug kit for the tyres and with its carb tune, airbox mods and race pipe does over 160mph. It’s fast enough for me and sounds sweet😚👌

A great piece of filming and excellent British motorcycles of the period. The position of the front 'L' plates was odd, I wonder were learners not allowed out in the dark! The lack of road markings on busy road junctions must have been a real liability for any road user.

I passed my test in 1962 and got my first speeding ticket (on a BSA Bantam 125cc) in the same year. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think side mirrors were not even ALLOWED on a bike when you took a test.
@billbogg3857 Жыл бұрын
It may have been because some of the old thumpers used to vibrate a fair bit so the side mirrors could give a rather hazy image. I suppose they are obligatory now...

Tom is such a good rider he didn’t spot the woman at the pedestrian crossing.
@geoffreypinchen50758 ай бұрын
I believe the Highway Code at that time advised you to stop ONLY once the pedestrian had actually stepped-off the kerb and set a foot onto the crossing. To do otherwise would be quite unexpected to other road users and could have caused a shunt. There have of course been numerous revisions of the Code since then, together with the addition of zig-zags and light-controlled crossings, which if you ever visit Dublin you will find are completely ignored by drivers!
