On an errand of mercy to Andy Tiernan's emporium !

[@petersheppard6085]

What a place...like something from a bygone age....

[@andrewbernard9571]

A superb tour to a fascinating place full of some great machines. Would Love to visit Andy's someday. BTW The Bad Norton was the Jubilee and not the Navigator as you mentioned. Most of the Jubilee's faults were corrected on the Navigator that made it a better bike which runs and performs well from what i understand. Not to mention Velo's are Great Bikes too. ❤

[@Wedge-r9o]

Thank you for the tour I have been watching their videos and I must subscriber to Andy channel. I’ve often wondered what it looks like inside. it was better than I expected the tour and what a bunch of proper vintage motorbikes

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

Thanks for watching!

[@anythingoldmechanical]

The beautiful little rigid B31 with the red tank outside, never even got a mention!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@anythingoldmechanical With over 150 bikes in stock, I couldn't cover them all! it would make the video far to long!

Bizzarely, my wife and I were out for a run in the car yesterday, up near Loch Tay in Perthshire. Heading home we caught up with a guy on an old British bike - the reg was OXS 372. I overtook the guy and it was a 500cc AJS from 1948 (according to DVLA database) - just like Peter's, also OXS reg. ! . What a coincidence coming across this video by chance, the following day..............think I'll nip out and buy a lottery ticket !

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I'd have to go with dads bikes. The Panther or the 1000cc BSA even though dads was a flat tanker. Both had chairs. The Panther carted Dad and Mum and my two brothers to the beach and back, and chugged slowly up steep hills getting vapor lock in the Australian summer heat.

[@ianlawrie919]

Super tour of Mr. Tiernan’s shop and what an eclectic knowledge you have 👍 even though the light was limited, did you not think that the Panther sloper shone like a beacon. Great video 👌👍👏

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

I'm quite used to Panthers, I had nine of them at one time!

[@frankboff8185]

Thanks for looking around, very interesting.

[@blearyview2254]

I had a modellers lath like that, loaned it to a fellow modeller and never saw it again. I do like that maroon speed twin.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@blearyview2254 Hello Mr BV! Yes, pretty little bike.

[@philcox8771]

Nice one VB, great revisit to Andy Tiernan Classic bikes again, wow, all I can do is dream on.. thanks mate.. 👌

[@roum22]

I have to disagree with you on the Navigator being Nortons most shameful effort, that surely must go to the truly awful Jubilee. At least the Navigator got a set of "Roadholders" and just enough power to get out of its own way. Very much enjoyed the tour, that lovely old maroon Speed Twin would be my pick.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@roum22 Ah yes, I forgot about the Jubilee! How right you are!

[@mred7030]

its good to see the old bikes .

[@RockerMark]

I was straight onto Andy T’s website but couldn’t find the 30’s Panther. Gorgeous!!! Great video and you certainly know your bikes!!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@user-hb2fl4wz4m Not everything in the showroom is for sale....Unless you ask him!

[@colincraig6269]

Amazing garage tour! Nothing like this here on Vancouver Island , thanks for the tour Volcanic

[@jim.bambury]

Great piece on some beautiful machines. Your run through made me realise how ignorant I am of british bikes.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@jamesbambury5031 They are not everyone's cup of tea!

[@GapBahnDirk]

Wow. What a fantastic place!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@GapBahnDirk It really is!

[@williamharris4426]

I have just bought a 350 bullet, 2003, runs sweet, I think they are good value for money.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@williamharris4426 Good man! That's what I like to hear!!!

[@johnfountain8588]

What a great video vlog Absolutely incredible to see all those old bikes in one place and you running commentary was top shelf I found you in a mutter and judging by this video I will be going backwards into your other videos and will subscribe Thanks for the tag along Regards from Florida

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

Thanks a ton!

[@dungspreader]

Grand video Mr Brown. Lots of eye candy in that emporium ! I thought you were going to get your wallet out for that G2 . Nice Panther too , I rather fancy that . 1930s bikes are so stylish .👌 I always used to lose nuts and bolts in the grass when I was working on farm machinery , so I bought a kiddies metal detector , which proved to be a very useful bit of kit . It might save you from the burden of travelling to Andy's , or not ! Stylised Brooklands can on the Custom James ! Marvelous !😂

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@dungspreader Yes, it's a unique place and he gets some real interesting bikes. The trouble is with me, is that I will work outside when the weather is good, instead of in the workshop. (I'm usually the author of my own undoing) I don't know what the previous owner of that James quite had in mind!

[@patrickgreenman8248]

Glad you got your screws ,loved the tour!,I wish Andy was nearer my neck of the woods ,I love the Velos but am a bit wary of their "quirks" as you would say!,maybe one-day ill have one,great video!!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

A well sorted Venom is still a fast bike, even today!

[@patrickgreenman8248]

I'm quite tempted, but its the getting it"well sorted",and keeping it that way which is the sticking point!

[@simonchilli2088]

Loved the V-Strom behind the Vincent!!

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@simonchilli2088 I loved the Bullet behind the V Strom!!

[@Stefan_trekkie]

I loud pick up the military enduro with the Rotax .. Love this bikes.

@@Volcanicbrown1878 Yeah, I am also 2850 kilometers away 😁😁😁 .. Anyway .. Nice video, nice bikes overall.

Can you buy cam belts ?? That's my concern. Pretty useless if you can't.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

@@redtobertshateshandles Yes, readily available! (All spares for Rotax engines....No prob!)

[@redtobertshateshandles]

@@Volcanicbrown1878 they're great engines. I had a 250 disc valve Can Am.

[@davidellis5964]

Lovely bikes, I wish I had kept my dads matchless 500. I never throw any screws, bolts or spare' parts from previous motorcycles I have owned. I have some rare bits now, my friends keep saying put them on ebay.

[@thepoodlestabbers]

That Rocket Gold Star is a real one, it's the one Berret built it for Andy.

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

That's why there was no price tag on it then! ....(Sorry Berret!)

[@Volcanicbrown1878]

Andy must have had that a long, long time because It stood on one side of the door to the showroom with a replica on the other side, when Andy had Bed Bazaar as a showroom.

[@markpercy4277]

What an incredible place, looks a mess but l bet they know where everything is when they need it 👍

If you're losing screws then find a similar screw and drop it from the same place, from the same height and watch where it goes. Seek and yea shall find.
