I had a mountain cub in the early 60s !! Loved it at the time !!

[@enhancesoutheast5964]

This guy's enthusiasm would make anyone want their own Cub ...❤.. keep doing this

[@wheelhousegarage]

LOL it comes naturally - these bikes are so cool!

[@daveco1270]

Crazy how those fancy new shocks didn't end up fitting on your wife's bike...but will probably fit perfectly on your bike. : ) "I really wanted those to work on the cub, honey, but at least we can still use them on another bike. Mine." Joking aide, I think it's great you two are both riding the Biltwell this year. It's been on my bucket list since I got into vintage bikes abut 5 few years ago.

[@brianking1138]

Looks great and I learned a new phrase . Self clearancing 😂

[@wheelhousegarage]

hahaha!

[@jimbowie307]

That seat looks good on there!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks!

[@flaaskogs]

Always fun to watch with a cup of coffee and the smell of my 2 stroke idling in the background waiting to go!

High maintenance club

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks Robert!

[@jiyushugi1085]

Lightweight, simple, easy to work on - the ideal motorcycle. Looks like a super-fun bike, nice work. My first bike had a Hodaka engine in a cut-down Triumph Cub frame. We called it the Hodumph. If was built by Frank Danielson, the guy who built the first Supercross tracks at the L.A. Colosseum.

[@wheelhousegarage]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@Dilip122S]

Always love your vids and look forward to a new one coming out every week or so. Also, great music in this one, a superb rendition of "Wade In The Water". Looking forward to seeing you and your wife competing in the Biltwell 100 next month. Keep 'em coming!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for tuning in every week and supporting the channel!

[@paulcollins6197]

Hi Bill, Just want to say a big thank You! The content you put out is great and my T-shirts arrived here in the UK all OK.👍

[@wheelhousegarage]

It's my pleasure Paul and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you buying shirts and watching every week. It's the reason I can keep this going 🙏

[@garrywalton]

I put that same seat on my T100. it fits really well... looks great and is pretty comfortable. I went with Girling shocks which are pretty good although I haven't tested it on anything like the Bitwell! Is your Mrs (we need to know her name) going to get much practice in on her bike ?

[@wheelhousegarage]

Right on. Her name is Kim👍

[@garrywalton]

Well good luck to you both and look forward to the vid ........

[@jimbowie307]

Fun!

[@bartmotorcycle]

Bro you might be the most wholesome motorcycle youtuber

[@wheelhousegarage]

What a kind comment! I really appreciate you saying that 🙏

[@marklaramie7393]

Good work man, I do like that seat.... 🍻 cheers

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks Mark!

[@mickgerard6696]

Good day Bill. Another great video and tutorial. Thought for a split second there, you were going to be cleaning a chicken for dinner! Bless you brother!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Haha! I did too!! 🤣🤣

[@TheStevemcqueen68]

66 Club is looking good, great job Bill , I Hope your good Lady enjoys the up and coming race on it . Thanks for posting . KIWI

[@wheelhousegarage]

[@thefoodbrat]

Nice work!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks!

[@gerrybailey447]

Winner, winner, almost chicken dinner. 😆

[@wheelhousegarage]

Woohoo!

[@synthnseq]

Bet you guys can't wait for the race!

[@wheelhousegarage]

So excited!

[@alistairbernard9574]

Super stuff Man. ❤

[@wheelhousegarage]

Glad you like it!

[@JosePerez-hm6yj]

Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷✌😎 Pura vida!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Pura Vida!

[@jeremyatkinson4976]

Yeh English shocks. You could try emailing NJB in England to send you some different inserts, or make up some double diameter bolts. Those original shocks won't last the race, be like riding a soggy pogo. Someone else has mentioned gearing and I'd be looking at a much bigger air filter. Back in the day they did. But you're probably already dealing with all that..

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for these notes!

[@TroopThrowback]

If you’re ever up north come see our little local foothill vintage moto meet up in Grass Valley in its 15th year. #throwbacksthursdays

[@wheelhousegarage]

would love to!

[@JagLite]

I like!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks!

[@Rider_rodriguez]

👏👏👏, exelente video, me encantan las triumph's vintage 👌, Increíbles motos, saludos desde asunción Paraguay

[@wheelhousegarage]

Muchas Gracias!

[@MrGolden28473]

love your videos. any recommendations on quiet exhausts? i've gone through a few, packed them, and still way to loud.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for watching! I'm probably the worst guy to ask about quiet exhaust. Would gladly make a recommendation if I had one, but I don't unfortunately.

[@AndrewBishop-sw5vu]

Class as all the other videos

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much!

[@stevepeterson9759]

Love the handlebars, where did you find them?

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks! These were on the bike when I bought it, but you can get reproductions from Ace Classics London

[@byrnestuff]

Similar clearance issues on bsa b44, a bridgestone ax41 18x4.1 adv tyre is actually 4.2 inches wide and doesnt hit the chain, its knobbly enough for trail rides and is street legal

[@wheelhousegarage]

Nice!

[@daylightbigboy]

Got a link to the seat? I couldn’t find it on eBay but I’d love one for my 1970 T100 desert sled!

[@geoffmaule4103]

Hagen shocks uk.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks!

[@chrisbaucom4832]

did the same with that style seat wasted a day and a lot of flat stock

[@wheelhousegarage]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

[@rossel-2448]

Поставил лайк. Жаль не знаю английского)).

[@charlesross1682]

The other seat looked way better not as comfortable im sure.

[@wheelhousegarage]

indeed

[@buckybarnes3803]

Do you think it's a profitable idea to buy used motorcycles and to resell them? I'm in Ohio, have been riding all my life, but not mechanically inclined. I'm thinking about this as a business idea. Your thoughts?

[@jeremyatkinson4976]

If you're not mechanically inclined it's an idiotic idea. This guy's knowledge of these types of bikes is encyclopledic and he's also mechanically very good.

[@flaaskogs]

I have been doing it as a hobby for 20 years, you can learn every thing you need to know on your phone from experts like Bill. Find a niche and enjoy the ride, if you want to get rich it probably is not the way, it's just fun!

[@buckybarnes3803]

@@flaaskogs I appreciate it!

[@wheelhousegarage]

@buckybarnes3803 It's about the least likely way you'll become wealthy, but I wouldn't trade the last 6 years for anything. If working with and doing commerce with the kindest and coolest people on the planet is your goal, I can highly recommend this business. Just make sure you have reserve cash to get you through 😆.

[@wheelhousegarage]

@jeremyatkinson4976 This is a really nice comment and I appreciate your kindness in saying so.
