After the diagnosis that the Bonneville was probably not worth saving, or required a new engine, Joe from The Wurks KZbin channel (‪@TheWurks‬ ) in touching will attempt to save the Bonneville!

Great news well done Freddy you’ve made 100% the right decision also you will get the Bonnie back in perfect running order, as l said in my last comment there is little wrong with that engine, l’ll bet one of my kidney’s it’ll be an electrical component due to you taking it for a swim and leaving it out in the rain for a week! As your bent on a Royal Enfield could make it a Continental GT? I’d love one but l have 3 bikes and no more room for another.

It was never a question of if the Bonnie can be saved or not, it was always about how much more money, time, and effort it would take and still be sensible. If Joe wasn't doing this free of charge then a new bike would probably make more sense given Freddies not a mechanic. Very glad someone is willing to fix her up out of more-or-less good will. She did sound decent when you brought it back, I'm sure there's still lots of life left in her! Before I feared that she might end up at the breakers one day

HOORAYYYYY Thank god you have found someone who knows what he's talking about. I have been shouting from here in Australia "renew the battery and get a multimeter to checkout that its charging correctly." Thats all it might be. Your Bonnie sat for months with probably a half dead battery, if it has a dead cell and only has 10 volts its never going to charge. Good luck with it, I feel sure Joe will sort it.

​@dirkdiggler5164 Didn't he admit that he could look into diagnosing the issue but it'll likely cost so much due to the time and labour? Given its only a low value bike i think he was being honest and upfront. If he was scammer he'd surely tag Freddie along and serve him a ridiculously expensive repair bill. The fact he admitted up front that Freddie should consider just doing an engine swap or getting rid of it probably shows more his integrity.

The first mechanic was also right: it probably isn't economical to fix it, which is what he said on the phone, not that he couldn't fix it, or that it couldn't be fixed. Joe's estimate of 40 hours times the mechanic's hourly of 90 gives 3600 Pounds, probably as much as the bike is worth. @@bms2250

That other dude made it sound like it should take a lot of time and money to diagnose it, which is b.s., sorry but it's b.s.

Morning Freddie.Yes of course anything can be repaired/restored. After all it’s just a 4 stroke internal combustion engine in a frame with wheels and associated brakes and electrics. Just look at some of the stunning restorations we can see of very very old bikes and cars etc. As kids we used to Look in people’s back yards to see if there was an unwanted bike we could ask to take away and try and get running again. Those bikes included a BSA B31, BSA Bantam 125, Norton ES2 with sidecar, AJS350 and a Matchless G12. There were others. As 12/13 year olds we used to raid my dad’s tools and fiddle around trying to get them to run. We learnt by doing and of course made many mistakes! We used to ride them around the LBC works on open ground and pretend we were scrambling! No doubt your Bonnie can be restored, no doubt! The only question would be how long and at what cost? Anyway she is in good hands! At last 😊. PS I went to buy some 10/50 Semi Synthetic engine oil yesterday! Nearly had a Heart Attack at the cost!!!!! 😳😳😳

Along that road, I met a few amazingly talented mechanics (if they don't mind being called that) and many other dedicated professionals, who understood that helping customers was actually good for their brands.

Freddie, I have no doubt whatsoever that it cannot be fixed by this guy. You are very lucky to find someone. Cars and bikes are a make up of functioning parts. When the malfunction, diagnosing is required. The “professionals” u have sent it to charge too much and their time is too precious to get a fix. That bike is definately fixable but the cost is the cost. You clearly love it so much it is worth it. You wont be sorry. Is there any way we could crowd fund joe some money or a raffle of something. In the meantime Fred get another bike too. Please don’t take bike swimming again. If you have the time see if you can spend some time with him to learn basic electrics. I am not good electrically but I have learn to use a voltmeter and have used it to diagnose my house and cars and bikes. Just basic stuff but quite satisfying. Keep on doing your own servicing but maybe a little research so no more cross threading.

When Joe said he was crying I knew exactly what he meant. I was yelling at my screen to “please Freddie, shut it off!” To have the starter running on the whole time the engine is running would fry so much of the electrical system. He’s the first person who seems to know what he’s doing. To be fair, if a professional spent 40 hours working on it you would spend more than the bike is worth.

If your starter is stuck on, you've got a short in the starter, wiring connections, or starter switch. Those wiring connections in the headlight are spretty water sealed, though...with tons of electric grease from the factory. The switches, not so much.

Really hope you get it fixed Freddie it would be fantastic to see it back on the road. I have just sold my triumph tiger adventure and now awaiting delivery of my new bike Kawasaki versy 650 decided on going for a smaller engine bike this time, as I really don’t see the point of having a big engine bike anymore.

Do you know, I’ve always thought this bike could be fixed, but as Joe says it’s the hours which converts into labour costs for many folk, who can’t repair their own machines….. all my motorbikes in the past, I’ve laid my own tools on and many of them right down to the crankshaft and back together again….. it never was in issue about whether the vehicle was a financial right off or not. We just got on and repaired them…. Of course there is the technical side of modern electrical systems one has to get their head around these days so you’ll be riding again soon. I’m so glad it’s being repaired

It does seem crazy to say the bike is a write off when it's sitting there so classy and stylish looking. Your excitement at the idea of getting your bike back, working, says the bike ISNT a write off! Joe, what a nice guy, that introduction might just have saved your beautiful bike. Can't wait to see the progress of the repair, or hear about it at least. Go Joe!!!

I'm an American. I hate the "throw away" culture that is so prevalent in the US. I heard of someone at the rubbish (garbage) dump seeing someone about to throw a computer away. They asked if they could have it, took it home and it had nothing wrong with it at all. It was just old. So I'm thrilled about the idea that you have a good hope of getting your Triumph running properly again.

Typically folks who live on islands are more likely to repair things. Everything coming by boat or plane. Doesn't matter if they're from Japan, Ireland or Hawaii.

Americans used to repair everything. I remember when I was a child (in the 60's), there was many types of places of places to get things repaired. Now most of those places are gone. I understand what you say about island communities. But whatever the reason, I like to see things get repaired, re-purposed, or donated rather than just scrapped. @@adamlanglois563

Hell ya Freddie, this guy sounds like the kinda guy that you need to fix the Bonnie. Someone that’s gonna do it because it’s a challenge. I’m gonna go out on ledge now and predict the old Bonnie will be back before New Year’s Day. And when you get it back Freddie, you got to promise to not take it swimming anymore! That could be your New Years resolution

Personally I think the very first thing Joe should do is peel the rest of the Riumph badge off. Hope the Bonnie is back for the DGR, we'd love to see you in London.
