[@Triumph-Tiger-90-Com]

Well done for explaining the complexity of building a Triumph from parts. Thanks for promoting the T90's etc

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Beautiful array of classic Triumphs, I have a September 1954 6T Thunderbird, one of the earliest ' new ' swing arm models known , owned 47 years and has remained in its registering county from new.Good luck with the projects.

Fascinating collection

[@lesmontgomery6498]

My first bike was an ariel 350 girder twin port. Sound familiar. Had a new T 100 R in 67. Canadian ones had 2 gal tank strriped fenders same colors. Still riding at 82 Honda C B F 1000

Thanks for keeping them stock. Some people in the USA have no respect for old Brit bikes and chop them. I managed to buy a 1959 Triumph chopper, took it completely apart and made a near stock runner out of it.

Excellent video ! Very well made, very interesting bikes and vehicles. Nice to hear from passionate knowledgeable, and skilled people. I reckon you need to do some follow-ups there Alex 😉

[@markibinsen]

Nice bikes! I have the ‘67 T100R. Those bikes were the first of the C-range mass production to have twin carbs. Obviously, the ‘59 T120 was the first twin carb of Triumph. Triumph produced twin carb limited-run race-only 500’s prior to ‘67, such as the GP, TR5R, and T100RS.

Fascinating back stories, and bravo for sticking with originality. Well done. 😎👍✅❤️

[@roberthocking9138]

Thanks for showing us around, great video. Would have liked to hear a bit more dad though. Maybe next time.

[@Hamilton-1981]

The T110 is my holy grail bike. Love the nacelle. You’ve got some outstanding bikes!

[@alanhodge984]

greetings from north carolina fabulous collection nice Irvin jacket i have one too very dashing

[@firsteerr]

ratchet throttle , a very early and mechanical means of cruise control , this enabled the rider to fill and light his pipe on the go with both hands for safety

[@collyernicholasjohn]

You’re not even joking, are you?

[@joetocchio9666]

I'd like to know if you have a source for the Davida type helmets. Great video

[@thepracticalman5905]

Great video...very interesting

[@daveco1270]

What an amazing collection of bikes and military vehicles. It's so nice to see a generational collection with father and son sharing a passion for old vehicles like these. I was eyeing that green tool box that belonged to David before you mentioned the origins of it. That's a real treasure. That red and silver 500 looks like the Bob Dylan Triumph. I'm pretty sure he had that same year/model.

[@martincvitkovich724]

I am curious also, especially in the movie "A Complete Unknown". the Bob Dylan story, if the actor rides the correct bike!

[@glynntipper9354]

A fantastic video, great to see everything being kept as original as possible, this seems to be the problem nowadays, to many experts that really should have their tools confiscated, the expert as being the past tense and the spurt being a drip under pressure. On another note a mate of mine destroyed a very early Ford built Jeep, we spent hours walking around the W&P show trawling the stalls looking for original Jeep parts with the f mark, fhen he buys this repro shell, that despite being told it would drop on didn't bolt holes drilled wrong

[@paulbrown9862]

Great channel great content. Thanks for a really good vid.👍

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Ah, that's nice of you to say Paul, yeah, we all enjoyed making this one!

[@williamharris4426]

Nice video, do you worry about the salt on the roads👍

[@conrod7]

Like your Jeep stories - felt sorry for the bloke who used a modern garage for repairs - I have a Feb 43 GPW myself unrebuilt and quite rusty but over the last eight years I have managed to collect its missing parts almost all original (very little repro) it cost an awful lot to do this. People who think rebuilding jeeps is easy just take shortcuts. I once spoke to a family member of the guy on car SOS who had his jeep rebuilt and the restoring company chucked just about everything and fitted off the shelf repro I think he regretted letting that happen.

[@alanhodge984]

my Pattern 1936 boots are great for riding too

[@bigears4014]

That roof is dripping water on everything, it wants sarking

[@jimnewearthblues1672]

🔊👊🏻

[@OogieBoogie62]

Hi I enjoyed your video but, sorry to correct you, all the Triumph unit 500s from the 5Ta to the last Daytona had the same slightly oversquare bore and stroke, the stroke being the same as the 350 models hence the ease of converting 350s to use the 500 top end.

[@kevinseiler1592]

Yes and other road Triumphs had twin carbs prior to the Daytona. Bonneville for instance.
