Taking an AWARD WINNER 1956 TRIUMPH down the DRAGSTRIP

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks for capturing this moment for us!

[@theadventurousrider]

Thank you man. I was so honored to do it!!

[@mikeweems1966]

Listen to that supercharger!! Thanx for everything you helped doin !!

[@theadventurousrider]

@@mikeweems1966 man it was mean sounding for sure .. not a problem I had a absolute blast!

[@khemchee4685]

These bikes are so sick

[@theadventurousrider]

@@khemchee4685 yes they are... I'm currently working on the video for the actual event which has some other really nice bikes!

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@theadventurousrider]

Not a problem Eric. I got the pleasure to watch/see it at several events and the racing person in me had to see to it go first time first hand !!

[@Motoramblings]

So cool you got to be there due this, and to record it all!!!!

[@theadventurousrider]

Your right. It relieved a lot of stress from Michael and all of them trying to film it for his brother. They could mainly focus on racing the bike!

[@Motoramblings]

@@theadventurousrider perfect!

[@georgiahillbilly6150]

Very good for first time out not too many show bikes get raced good content 👍

[@theadventurousrider]

@@georgiahillbilly6150 I agree.. I have another video I'm going to create from the footage I just felt this one deserved it's own . They learned what they needed to for the next time around for sure !

[@crippleguy415]

I just love that sound of those early twins .❤ Gorgeous bike . I ❤Triumphs ,Nortons and Beezers

[@theadventurousrider]

It definitely has a very unique sound and that super charger adding makes it even more different!

[@Motoramblings]

Love all the different camera angles!!

[@theadventurousrider]

Thanks man. I was glad I had all the different mounts to go show them.

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

It's just a sick looking bike. Weems is an amazing builder

[@theadventurousrider]

@@BikesBeardsAndBrews he really is.. the envisions he has done/built is crazy!

[@homegrownson]

Jared Weems is the Man when it comes to Triumphs in America

[@theadventurousrider]

You are 100% correct. I had heard of Triumph motorcycle before getting to know him and all but didn't realize the history and just how popular they are. Especially overseas.

[@northbysoutheast5439]

Cool looking bike with the smaller front wheel 😎👍

[@theadventurousrider]

Yes it is... Love the stance for sure.

[@Motoramblings]

The view from in the bike is very cool!!!!!

[@theadventurousrider]

I liked that view as well seeing the the super charger spinning! So cool also seeing the pushrods going up and down like that.

[@Motoramblings]

@@theadventurousrider very cool!!

[@juliysmith4598]

Team Weems 🌻💕 56

[@theadventurousrider]

Good team to be on!!! ✌️✌️

[@juliysmith4598]

@@theadventurousrider thanks for sharing. I wasn't able to make it to see 56 race. I did see the bike at Mama Tried. Such talent and attention to detail.

[@theadventurousrider]

your are 100% correct. Everyone he does is so neat to look at and each has it own character that is amazing.

[@charlesross1682]

is he starting in second gear? i had a bone stock 650bonniville as a kid that would take off a lot faster than this it would eat a stock sportsters lunch! what was his time were they to ashamed to show it?

[@theadventurousrider]

@@charlesross1682 he was starting in first but the sprockets where wrong sizes... For the shows his brother put 1/4;mile sprockets on there instead of 1/8 mile. The track didn't have a score board at the end of the track and I didn't take a picture or ask him to send me a copy of them as I was more concerned about the video. He was running around 70 in the 1/8.

[@johncombe-s9u]

just what part is from 1956 ?

[@theadventurousrider]

The motor is a 1956 pre-unit. You can watch the full build he did here and he tells you all about it. kzbin.info/aero/PLxwU0iiozaIPdvvpW1oPhiSrsN5SZlkEm&si=N-vBeRuie3xLzk-i

[@keithk2926]

Bugs it doesn’t look to impressive this guy looks like he is good on a Sunday ride

[@theadventurousrider]

It's a brand new bike that was untested till that it hit the track that weekend. If it was me i'd rather be taking it quite easy than go out there and ruin a bike by crashing it trying to push it not knowing how it's going to react. I mean would you take a brand new, never ridden, completely different model motorcycle and go just as fast as you would on a motorcycle you know down the tail of the drag?

[@xanbiker]

Carson way to pick up the ball and run with it. 👍

[@theadventurousrider]

Thanks Mike.. I was honored to be doing it.

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Good starting point.

[@theadventurousrider]

Yea I think it was a good starting point for sure. Next time with the new sprocket setup it's going to be rolling.

[@spen4christ]

WEEEEEMS!!!!

[@spen4christ]

Way to go Carson!!

[@theadventurousrider]

✌️✌️

[@theadventurousrider]

Thanks Brian... How is everything going with you over there in Colorado?

[@nancyweems5270]

Whoop Whoop

[@theadventurousrider]

@@nancyweems5270 thank you Ms. Nancy. I was actually thinking you might make the trip as I was looking forward to seeing you again!

[@nancyweems5270]

​@theadventurousrider I was so nervous about this, one day I'll get out there again

[@theadventurousrider]

@@nancyweems5270 I completely understand.

[@williamalley4976]

I assume it was for show and a little go. Bike looks great and seems to run great, But It really isn't a very fast and rider can't seem to powershift and missed a few shifts. Rider needs a little More Seat time! Great show though!

[@theadventurousrider]

In the intro we stated we had never taken this bike down the strip at all... No test runs, no shifting through the gears, no anything. This event was all about learning what needed to be changed and working through it all. He knows/will be changing out the sprockets to help with a 1/8 run as the current sprockets are for 1/4 mile. Thanks for watching!

[@frankjones4094]

Kool looking bike. What and where was this race?

[@theadventurousrider]

Yes it is a beautiful bike. It was the Iowa hog drags and nostalgia reunion. The next video I post, hopefully Tuesday, will be of the actual event. I just wanted to let this separately due to the this bike and what it is..

[@MrTench8]

Well it looks nice but thats about it! Mine is the opposite, all go and no show! 172cc push rod single N/A 94mph on the standing start mile.

[@mikeweems1966]

Not bad I’m doin close to 70 in a eighth mile !! On a bike that’s been rode 4 times an was hand built!!

[@theadventurousrider]

Well your kinda comparing two different things when he was only doing 1/8 compared to your 1 mile.

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

Might have too much rear tire causing it to bog.

[@theadventurousrider]

@@Mytriumph650pre-unit he is going to change out the sprockets to see if that helps out as he feels they are for a 1/4 mile track and not an 1/8.

[@JohnSmith-de2mz]

Good looking bike but what a dog

[@mikeweems1966]

I know right like a pit bull!!

[@theadventurousrider]

@@JohnSmith-de2mz give him some time to learn the bike.

[@patillo56]

Supercharged??????

[@theadventurousrider]

@@patillo56 yes it is. I'm not sure what it's from. But if you check out the playlist in the info tag or check out weems motor co , Jared weems goes over all of it

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

Tough crowd.

[@theadventurousrider]

@@Mytriumph650pre-unit haha. Yes it is.. especially even after I stated this is the was the first time on the track people are still talking about how slow it is. I mean we are being 100 transparent on it.

[@silenthammer2900]

Learn anything?

[@theadventurousrider]

@@silenthammer2900 yes we did. It has the wrong sprocket set for the 1/8 mile track. He is going to be changing them out for the next run. Even with the wrong sprockets he still got a little quicker each run.
