Exploring the Sierras on a 1957 Triumph Desert Sled

[@waynetowers5046]

This is awesome. There's nothing quite like an old Triumph. Beasts! 🇬🇧

[@wheelhousegarage]

They're the best!

[@Janika-xj2bv]

Harleys are great, Kawasakis are awesome, Ducatis are amazing...but nothing beats a classic British motorcycle. Thanks for sharing. From Reggio Calabria, Italia.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Amen to that! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelglynn2638]

That's my perfect day right there, and good on ya for doing what you're supposed to do with a bike like that👍

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much. It gives me great joy to put these bikes out on the dirt and twist that throttle!

[@fabieneldridge3414]

That’s the way I remember them, pieces falling off or being stranded. Being alone 50 miles in the woods is a bad feeling, especially walking for a couple of days out. Here your called a ridge runner ! Yep it has happened to anyone seriously going to the woods riding alone. Have Fun it’s part of the adventure !

[@wheelhousegarage]

Cheers to adventure!!!

[@tomcooney183]

Hell yea, theres nothing cooler than ripping on an old bike! World need more of this!

[@wheelhousegarage]

More to come! Thanks for watching👍

[@christopherwall8468]

Thanks for bringing us along! Great way to finish out the year.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@weedonscott3706]

dude, thanks a million for sharing that awesome ride. Stunning bike, stunning scenery. Everything looked perfect, even the mud. Ride on

[@wheelhousegarage]

It's my pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

[@countermoonman]

Gawd damn what a great sounding & lookin old Triumph, looks like you were on one of the old “fire roads” maybe?…anyhow, what a great ride through a beautiful area, also I dig the old Champion sticker, what a classic!

[@juliojames5986]

That sound from that Triumph is super.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Music!

[@RegularBiketrip]

Nice bike. I like old bikes.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks Andrew! Couldn't ask for anything more!

[@ChrisKoopmann]

Beautifull bike

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you! It’s my favorite!

[@esmeben]

Wicked, love the exhaust note.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Me too!

[@caferacermonterrey20]

[@wheelhousegarage]

So much fun! Thanks for watching.

[@martinpower9645]

Love this bike,all the best to you and your family. Awesome work on your videos more please.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Really appreciate the kind words! More videos coming!

[@giovanniman]

Cool Wild-Trip 😅 👍

[@alanstockley391]

Great ride out 👍🇬🇧

[@jeffferguson899]

tou were flying on that old bike, i thought it was a video of Dick Burleson for a second

[@wheelhousegarage]

I'm blushing! Thanks for watching!

[@allenwenzel7272]

Don't you mean Bill Baird? He was a multi time AMA National Enduro Champion (prior to Burleson), and he actually rode a Triumph!

[@karanmora1339]

Can feel the power 👏🏽

[@wheelhousegarage]

Yeehaw!

[@alastairbrown9528]

I've watched a couple of your bike and beer episodes and enjoyed them over the last couple of weeks. KZbin recommended this and I really liked this riding video so I've given you a like and a subscribe. Happy New Year.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[@Davesdad]

Your bike is a cracker - and what a fantastic playground!! 😊

[@wheelhousegarage]

I think that's a compliment? 🤣 So thank you so much!

[@Davesdad]

@@wheelhousegarage Most definitely a compliment 😁

[@deadvikingmototv]

I love these videos mate. Superb !!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much🙏

[@chrisbutlersmith9970]

That looks fun bud and that twin sounds a treat . That looks like big foot country .

[@wheelhousegarage]

Indeed!👣

[@brunobruno1126]

Today I too took a ride with my 1991 yamaha..then the video came out and I pushed my engine up and down the countryside.. Too bad I didn't have a beer to drink.. Happy new year friend keep doing us dreaming with your old bike!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Cheers to good riding and the New Year ahead!

[@TheReverb1]

Hi mate; very nice bike and edition. I have three and currently rebuilding one so I know the feeling

[@wheelhousegarage]

Right on! Glad they are getting built👍👍

[@adaptableadventurerider]

Really cool Channel subscribed :)

[@wheelhousegarage]

Glad your here!

[@adaptableadventurerider]

@@wheelhousegarage np keep up the epic work 🤘🤟

[@fenrir1701]

Fantastic video! It’s great to see a video of just riding and the sound of the bike. You’ve got some great trails there and I’ve got serious bike jealously. A good tip for when you get caught out with that sun setting real quick is to keep a decent bicycle light in the backpack. That way you can clip it on when you need to and it’ll probably be brighter than the original ‘57 headlamp 👍🏼

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for the kind words! Great advice on the headlight!

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Back in the day, I had one of these pass me doing about 80. Guess he didn't know the course turned left in front of a big pile of dirt. Triumphs can fly.🤣

[@wheelhousegarage]

HAHA!

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

I liked again and am already subscribed 🙂

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much! It really helps!

[@RisingSun0203]

Oh the sound. So impressive. And where can I find the Bast skid plate?

[@wheelhousegarage]

I have one original for pre-unit triumphs. If you're interested, just email me at [e-mail]

[@thra5herxb12s]

A great ride indeed 👍

[@wheelhousegarage]

Sure feels good to get out there!

[@tomosan1967]

She sounds awsome. Lost my skid plate on the freeway once, and did not notice until I was hundreds of kilometres away. Went back and found it a few weeks later.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Phew! That's so awesome that you found it!

[@user-rp5gy9ux6d]

Отчаянный парень, так гонять это надо уметь! А мотоцикл нереально классный.

[@TheStevemcqueen68]

Always different ridding in the winter than the summer, shame about the bash plate coming off, but easy fix. great ride. all the best for the new year. KIWI

[@wheelhousegarage]

All the best to you too!

[@maxcheese5586]

How has this vid got so few views?! Great video

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for adding one more view!

[@adhimedhavi4869]

that was dope

[@wheelhousegarage]

🙏

[@aleczachreson]

nice man!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks!

[@daveco1270]

Gettin' your Bud Ekins on in the Sierras. : ) How long were you out there? It was getting a bit sketchy at the end with the sun setting.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for watching! I was only out riding for about 3 hours but got a late start (as usual 😁)

[@spookydog6959]

happy😁

[@hilbilchillbil]

Loving this bike and the content Do you know which model your while tank was originally fitted too ? 👍

[@wheelhousegarage]

Glad you’re digging the videos! Thanks for watching. This tank is from a duplex frame pre-unit, so 1960-62. I made some front brackets for it and welded some tabs to the rear of the tank. It’s been working really well and has taken a lot of abuse.

[@hilbilchillbil]

@@wheelhousegarage thanks taken ages but did manage to find the tank and worked it out last night looks so right on the bike 👍 maybe you may take a look at my KZbin channel Shed Hot Customs TV just finishing a 1938 Speed Twin rebuild lots of bike content - just starting out so need all the help I can get subscriber wise 🙏

[@savage22bolt32]

First vid of 2023!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Yeehaw!

[@mrbilly_k]

Cool as. Have a 500 metisse,ride the pines in 🇦🇺

[@wheelhousegarage]

Cheers to ridin' 'em hard!🍻

[@djrichylaurence8991]

They still race old Trumpets in the dirt loads in the UK.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Good to hear!!

[@berislavpavisic3121]

😍

[@pauldeane9849]

Pre unit generator case, 9 stud top end, monoblock - it doesn't get any better. Was it a T110 to start with ? Happy New Year, your weather sucks, it's stinking hot here.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Love this bike! Motor is a factory TR6, Frame is from a '59 with a really cool hoop welded back in day to run a modified air filter. There's a video from last July where I went through all the details on this build if you want to check it out👍

[@stevanrozic4638]

Old bikes need locktite

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

How's the engine vibration?

[@douglasfrantzen3011]

Well, I saw that skid plate get dropped in the intro, so I guess bolts are loosening. I've lost a few bolts myself.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Can you imagine trying to do this in the F****** UK?

[@tonebonetones]

Yeah, the Plods would be knocking on your door soon as you got back home. When you get burgled, however, they're nowhere to be seen.

[@xt225]

6T, TR6 or T110?

[@wheelhousegarage]

TR6👍

[@maineaclife4986]

Awesome bike and riding skill. Exhaust too loud though especially for woods.

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thank you so much! I've had a cool muffler idea for a while that I need to make. Boy do I love that straight pipe sound though😆

[@loop1479]

Xhaust JUST the right amount of loud, IMHO. Low and throaty. If they could can it, I'd eat it. Yum.

[@gordonemoore]

Don't let the Forest Service catch you up here in the Sierra without spark arrestors!

[@wheelhousegarage]

You're 100% right! I am working on something for it this week 👍

[@A_A_moto]

SIERRA is a spanish's name of a Mountain. FELIZ AÑO BULTACO MONTESA OSSA

[@wheelhousegarage]

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

[@savage22bolt32]

A&A, Happy New Year from USA. No se habla Español, but Bultaco & OSSA were the ones I rode in the 1970's - Matadors, Pursangs, Pioneers & Plonkers!

[@A_A_moto]

@@savage22bolt32 Happy New Year. In the 70s I was not born, but I currently enjoy a bultaco lobito 175cc, a bultaco alpina 350cc, and an ossa pioneer 250cc. Great machines that give great moments. You can see them on my channel.

[@savage22bolt32]

@@A_A_moto subbed to A&A and Orange Ossa Channel too. I live in New England, northeast USA. Today we had a cool, brisk refreshing ride. Currently on CRF250L & my daughter has an XT250. As we were riding a dirt road we bumped in to my buddy. He was riding a 1974 Alpina, & has 9 more at home, various years. I love the Spanish 2 strokes. A buddy of mine owned the Vintage Trail Bike Museum in Massachusetts. Sadly, he passed away in 2022 & everything was auctioned off. Kaplan Cycles bought a few if them & you can see them on Kaplans channel. Best to you in '23!

[@motohead117]

I would love to see the SPARK ARRESTERS in those pipes..🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@wheelhousegarage]

I know! 🤫🤫

[@crozwayne]

Cannot do anything like this here in Naziville UK, I live in Wales and at least we ain't as overpopulated as England, you can't swing the proverbial cat without hitting a Mr Angry or a Karen in England as there is so many of that type on this shity little island of ours!

[@wheelhousegarage]

LOL come one over and ride over here!
