Evening James, Many thanks for your time to film, your explanation of controlling a vintage motorcycle is brilliant. I have recently bought my first vintage bike a 1924 Blackburne. I've not gone far with it yet but boy am I looking forward to some nice dry days soon! Rgds, Peter.

Lovely bike James. Almost enjoyed the scenery around Santon Downham as much as the Sunbeam. At that speed you can really take in the sights of Breckland. How relaxing!

I'm a subscriber to the Mag., but this is the first time I've seen this. I've a 1922 Longstroke Sporting and a 1930 Model 8. Due to Covid, much of the enjoyment of the last 10 months has been taken from us, but it was lovely to see you enjoying your bike. Well done.

Some of these old bikes were made to last, what I like about them is that you have to be involved, or become part of them to really appreciate them. I have always hankered after a M21 with plunger rear end, due to having back problems. Your Sunbeam has a lovely sound, a real thumper.

Thanks for taking the time to explain what might seem obvious to you but not me and I've been on bikes for 40 years. I assume the head has to come off to replace a valve if the steam breaks? The bike sounds lovely going along and enjoyed the video so much I have subscribed.
@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel
@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel 4 жыл бұрын
Right on Stu! We asked James about the valves and he's actually never changed one so didn't know if the head had to come off. But, he's on it! Welcome aboard!
@RichardASK
@RichardASK 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Stu. These are fixed heads. If a valve breaks on the stem, you have to hope, that the valve head stays put. Once the engine is stationary, you remove the cone, that sits above the valve that's broken and take it out. You then put the new valve in, fit the spring, cap and retainer and replace the cone. Do your valve clearance and away you go.

I love the old British singles, built in for reliability, & economical to use. Having a long stroke, gives these old bikes lots of bottom end grunt. Most modern bikes are short stroke & high revving, these days. Today, young people seem to put speed before the pleasure, or is it the manufacturers who build into these bikes: "planned obsolescence??? High revs, short life! Personally, I would love to own a BSA, M21. Which can be stroked up to 650cc.

Reminded me very much of my late father's talk about motorcycles that he and his brothers had in the late 20s to 1939 when a certain clipped black mustachio'd arsehole ruined everything for everyone .. Abbington King Dick, Francis Barnett, Brough Superior and the BSA Empire Star. The only Sunbeams I knew of were the shafties of the 60s, with fat tyres. Col, NZ
