Freddie Dobbs' Bonneville | Back In Time!

Join me in this video after taking on the challenge to fix @FreddieDobbs Triumph Bonneville T100SE. This motorcycle is the central focal point of his channel and has been right there with him on many adventures from all over Europe to the Sahara, across the Atlas Mountains to the local coffee shop!
We are on the rebuild, getting the cams back in and valve clearances done.... Got to be careful not to drop anything down into the cases now!

I was very happy to see the GT85 being used with such enthusiasm!😃

[@mikerider58]

Again, Emily asking the all the important how and why questions has made these videos so interesting. People love these types of family videos because they have characters ie Emily &Joe and it's so honest you can't help but love it. Fantastic viewing 👌

[@sdpicturecard6858]

“Outtakes” and “pear drops.” We are witnessing the birth of new motorcycle terminology. I love it! This is a really interesting project you’re into. I like how you’re guiding your wife through this with patience and clear explanations. She’s not the only one learning from this. Well done!

[@TheWurks]

Thanks pal!

[@LRD90]

That was absolutely brilliant, I learnt more in those 30 minutes than I have done in 30 years, thank you both.

[@superglide6680]

If this is you trying to figure out if you’d have an audience for Emily building a bike for Emily from the ground up, the answer is ABSOLUTELY!

[@docford3635]

Very much appreciated you including your wife in this video. Your teaching her helped me to understand. Well done to you both! If it’s not too much trouble, would love to have more of your videos done this way.

[@dave_ryan]

The questions she asks are so relevant imo it works well.

[@Besty66]

Sounds like you wanna perv over his missus! lol

Your knowledge + Emily’s voice = Subscriber forever

[@stephenholland1084]

Speaking as a retired teacher and Triumph biker who used to fix and rebuild his old BSA A10, but not his new Triumph(!) what a great team you both are! Emily's dulcet tones (A bit like Kate Rusby the folk singer!) and Joe's calmness, you could both teach! I'm also lucky to have a bike friendly wife. A great explanation of Newton's second law of motion. Another way I used to teach the kids with a simple Newton spring balance is 1 newton is the force to accelerate 1kg at 1 metre per second squared or the force of gravity on a 1 kg mass is equal to 9.81 N on the surface of Earth. After Freddie's bike is fixed, please keep up the excellent channel. He was very lucky to have you contact him.

[@TheWurks]

Thank you Stephen!

I am so going to miss these Sunday evenings watching you work your magic on Freddies bike

Bets on how long before Freddie breaks it again - he needs to buys some overalls and do some maintenance and cleaning each week - instead of showing off hundreds of pairs of similar looking jeans and waxed jackets and drinking coffee!!!!

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

What a brilliant video. when I talk about bikes to my wife her eyes glaze over🤣

[@ColinCarFan]

Great video! Emily now knows more about the parts in an engine than at least 98% of the country. I also think her terminology is much better than us engineers use - intake/out-take, goop and peardrops are much easier to understand.

[@user-lm4nn4ef7k]

i can't wait to watch this. stop getting us over-excited with anticipation. we want to watch those spanners spannering!!!!

[@captblackadder85224]

Pear drops and outtakes and goop, oh my! Loving the new lingo. They should be called pear drops, shouldn't they? Another classic, keep 'em coming!

[@TheWurks]

Definitely some cool T Shirt ideas ;P

[@papajulietromeo-650]

Another great video! I know how an engine works in theory, but seeing it being assembled step by step along with Emily‘s curious questions and your calm and detailed explanations is a whole new level of understanding for me. Thanks so much for sharing this content with us!

Hi Joe I have a wife like that, she is so funny but very helpful and eager to learn. Emily made me smile during that video. Intake and outtake 😂. Nice slipper by the way Emily. Keep them coming both of you. Very entertaining and a joy to watch.

The best explanation of shim and bucket valve adjustment ever! When I was a kid I felt the same way that the air should come in the front and exit the back. With an air cooled engine it makes sense to put the hottest part in the coolest air.

I've always wanted a Bonneville since my introduction to a 1968 vintage so long ago. I bought a BMW R75/6 23 years ago and the maintenance seems so simple compared to the Bonny. Love that you show and explain the workings of the modern Triumph engine though. Now I know the shim and bucket. Great video Joe. Kudos to your enthusiastic helper too.

[@davidreed6817]

Brilliant!! Emily being so inquisitive and willing to help is the icing on the cake, my wife is of similar nature, she often asked what things are and how they work.

Thank You Emily and Joe at The Wurks for making a truly unique restoration project possible.

[@nealeburgess6756]

Note to Emily: Don't be nervous of you getting the valve timing wrong. It is not rocket science. You just have to be methodical. You did a great job. And correctly checked it after installation. Putting it another way, you got it right. A professional who worked on the bike previously got it wrong. So I guess that makes you a better mechanic than said professional! And apart from that, I think you are lovely!

I hope sufficient goop was applied to the pear drops. ❤👌

[@TornadoCAN99]

Tell Emily I too believe the exhausts ("out-takes" ;-) ) SHOULD come out of the rear of the engine and intakes from the front...only makes sense no matter what engine designers might think! That spreadsheet is really handy when doing the "pear-drop" shafts on these bikes.

[@dirkdiggler5164]

LOL. The Ariel Square Four had some exhausts coming out the back. My car has exhaust that comes out the rear of the engine. On air cooled engines, it's better if they're in the front, because they cool better. But on water cooled engines, I don't see why the exhaust can't come out the back.
