Three bikes and a beer ! Wow nice ! Usually I do the opposite. Three beers and cut the grass. Something like that. 🤣 . Another great video! Thanks!

Very interesting video. Particularly liked the segment featuring the BSA. Mercy that bike sounds good. In the early mid 60’s, I would accompany my mom while she shopped. Across the street from the store was a BSA shop. There were always 3-4 BSA’s parked out front. I would stand there and admire those beautiful bikes ….and that is when the love of motorcycles started.

I love that you're keeping the Beezer original, mostly. Those guys at Ace in Reno are great.

Great stuff, really enjoying your videos. I’ve got two contributions (1) the Electrex system can also work with a small battery rather then the power pack - which is a big capacitor; (2) The “A” in Amal is short like “cat” not long like “day” - it’s short for “Amalgamated”! Well at least it is here in the UK :)

Those bikes, to cool man, that seat, what a great find brother, does the ole BSA some justice, spilling that beer, alcohol abuse... lol... cheers..🍻

I'm excited to see that BSA hit the dirt! Peter Quick definitely has a great selection of parts that I wouldn't have even thought were around anymore.

Yeah, Triumph had a "no battery with lights" electrical system in the 1960's. I had a T100SS that had it, from the factory. It was called the "Energy Transfer" system (ET). The T120TT also had it, but it didn't come with lights. You could add lights. Suzuki was using something like that. A 1983 DR 125 had a headlight and tail light, but no battery.

That single seat on the BSA is just perfect. Are you planning to install your signature one size bigger tires - vintage style trial front tires and some meaty rear mx knobbies in the rear?

@bradsanders6954 5 ай бұрын

To my knowledge, Kenda makes the only beefy front 19" knobby. Its a DOT tire that is a real knobby. I would take it over a Trials tire.

Love your channel! The area you live in looks beautiful. My wife and I live in San Diego County and are looking for a summer vacation in your general area, do you have any recommendations? Thank you!

At one point I rode a 73 Triumph 750 Tiger as an everyday bike, I dont think there was one day where it didnt need electrical attention, it shook so much. If you let go of the bars on the hiway you couldnt really see the bars clearly. It was fun though! You could wheelie it and slide it like a big dirtbike. I rode a friend's 750 Triumph Mile Bike, he was National #49. Won the last event at a national won by a Triumph. Won the Trophy dash at Sac Mile. Then the rods blew out the front of the cases in the main event. Which was pretty normal, the stock alu rods simply couldnt take it.

You might miss that Mikuni, the Amal gets shook so hard on a 441 the slide rattles too much. Pot metal only goes so far.

@jimbowie307 5 ай бұрын

He can always get one of the new Amal premier carbs with an aluminum body and a hard anodized slide

I used to own a 69 Trident, and could have bought a set of used Mikuni's for cheap, but I passed as the Amals are proper & worked well. My 67 Lightning still has the Monoblocs, and it runs extremely well since I replaced the Boyer black box with a digital red box Boyer ignition! Those fuel inlet banjo's are plastic and break all too easily, and are near impossible to find when you need one>(I need one)!
