Fair enough, when was it converted back to coal? What parts of maintenance were harder in comparison? This has got me very curious

@EverydayADV a few months ago now, the main culprit is the lack of standardisation, we can't apply the same fixes to issues that you would other engines, zero spare parts exist for it. Often if something went wrong with an oil burning component we would spend days, if not weeks, diagnosing and just going through the trial and error process to figure out what was wrong where as on a coal burner we have 100 years worth of reference material to help diagnose and fix an issue. Short version is its more expensive to look after and run and costs more time and resources to fix when theres problems

That makes sense, thanks for filling me in.

@@JB-dy2sq Thank you for kind words :) it was an awesome day out!

This bike was only sold Japan by Honda so not very British but I it takes a lot of design elements from British cafe racers 😊

Potentially, The engine is assembled but I got the timing wrong and I have to disassemble it as well as a few small things that need doing, that will be part 3 (eventually).

Too wet for my TKC70s! This was after a big few weeks of rain as well.

It's a great place to ride! Must have been a bit more slippery then.

It's a beautiful part of the world, definitely worth a ride/drive in summer. Yeah it's a great bike, plenty of power for a leaner and really good on road as well.

Thanks man, I'm keen to start making this channel more consistent and clear :)

No worries, I just took the information from this article on the Puffing Billy website. puffingbilly.com.au/news/workshop-blog/would-you-rather/

He's right I fire it regularly. It is tricky to fire and it's true that it's not a diesel. It will burn any light oil we just happen to use diesel. Nothing on the railway runs on total fire ban these days usually.

Cool, I never said it ran during total fire ban days or said it was easier to fire. Watch the video again.

@@EverydayADV and? I've taken it to Gembrook two weeks in a row.

Used to ride around Kinglake and surrounds also at a track in Kilsyth which I plan to go back to in the near future.

That's the fuel tap on the bottom of the fuel tank.

Thank you :)

Me too! :)

Might do a short vlog about getting the learners. Technically not a license, like getting your car L's in a way. Yeah man I'm well into my motorsport, not just F1.

There's a few reviews out there already but might do one from my perspective as a new rider, might be interesting.

Thanks :) she goes well

Thanks mate! Was awesome to see this beast out at Phillip Island. I was there with Blendline TV at Lukey Heights

@@EverydayADV Did you get any footage like this from up at Lukey? Looks awesome from this close!!

@@Poyntlesss unfortunately not as I was part of the Blendline TV broadcast crew, but definitely check out their stream!

No they are Victorian Railways 5 Chimes

This is soviet union train

​@@SovietUnion-vn5yvbullshit, this pure Australia built engineering from the 40s, nothing is Soviet

It's definitely worth the trip

I believe it is, might be called something else. Running festival or something like that.

@@EverydayADV as an enthusiast of steam railway. A previous fun runner and was held up at inert Point running down the Mount. The train was crossing. .the faster runners would beat the train to the point. And win the race.

Yes that is, the supercars race was shortened because of incidents during the Formula 3 and on top of that they had a safety car of their own.

From all the hard racing over the years :) That Jaguar XJS was involved in a bit of a scuffle at Sandown a few weeks earlier

@@EverydayADV Looks like one of the Jags that Tom Walkinshaw helped develop, and Win Percy raced very well indeed.

Not sure if I have footage of group N, I was taking photos as well so might have only gotten photos.

@@EverydayADV All those Mustangs and V8s in the latter part of the vid were Group N - Over 2 litre. Usually what captures the attention of TV stations and journalists. Plenty of loud V8 sounds and faster lap times. And processional.

Thanks mate! That sounds awesome, would be a lot of fun. It was an amazing weekend, not only seeing the classics open wheelers but everything else.

Certainly was! Keen as for Battle Royale this month

@@EverydayADV for sure I'll have the csd stall up and running with my own demo area this time can't wait bring it on🤙🤙🤙😁

Thanks mate, you're too kind

No worries mate always a pleasure

I wasn't sure what a Wrigley auto truck was so I did a quick search, they look so cool! Might have a crack at building something like that.
