It's always a thrill to take the first ride on what was once a pile of parts.

[@weemsmotorco]

It is the best feeling ever!

[@omurcada01]

I would say 3, well that's what it took when I had a '66 Thunderbird 😁

[@weemsmotorco]

It is!

[@dietrichess9997]

Happy Sunday! I'm at the 7 minute point in the video. Not to be pessimistic but I am going to guess 14 kicks. Wow, I was SO wrong! I watched something else recently and the guy guessed two kicks and it took fourteen. I guess that stuck in my head.

[@weemsmotorco]

Great job!

Good Day all you awesome People

Back at ya!

Great build .. certainly looked more comfortable than in a damp garden shed back here in the UK ...would have loved to hear the first fire up with out the music though... keep em alive !!! 🏁

[@weemsmotorco]

Great suggestion!

[@jasonshortphd]

I wish modern Triumphs were that easy to adjust the gap. It’s about 6 hours of work to get to it on my Tiger! My guess is 5 kicks.

[@weemsmotorco]

That’s a lot!

[@ashpunting]

I never douted you once J, two kicks a testament to your builds you've saved another triumph from the classic bike grave yard ❤🙏🏽

[@weemsmotorco]

Wow, thanks

[@PaulsMotoZen]

Last time I worked with points, was a 1964 GMC pickup. It had a straight six, one barrel carb, and a powerglide transmission. I used a matchbook to gap the points, also doubled the matchbook to gap the plugs, and it was ready to race.

[@weemsmotorco]

Nice!!!

Weems, outstanding work! Finally got that special piece of moto history back on the road where it truly belongs. I know it was a lot of work getting it done, I'm just amazed that the bike still existed. It was a good feeling seeing and hearing her kick over and she sounded so sweet! Congratulations on restoring another old gal and keeping the Triumph legacy rolling down the two lanes. Keep wrenching, riding, and stay safe Weems!

From a guy that started his riding life on an old Indian and spent many years riding a Panhead Electro Glide, Jared the JUDGE is more Beautiful than an Easyriders centerfold! Thank You Jared for the whole rebuild and rebirth. I hope the Judge stays in your family for many years and your Lovely wife takes it as her own. No frills, computers or gadgets, I'd take her over anything new coming out today, she's a Beaut! With much LLH&RESPECT you are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks Van!

Truth be known. I would have one hell of a time with the left and right brake and shifter..

you learn...if you ride that bike only its easy....i got a 71 tiger....the odd time you try to gear up on the brake!

It does!

What a beautiful sound

[@weemsmotorco]

YES!!!

I'm gonna guess 6 kicks, that's what it took to wake up the old BSA in my friend's grandpa's barn (and in spite of us getting it running he still won't sell it to us)

Thanks so much for this and the other Judge videos. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed them. The bike has turned out wonderfully. It's not easy to decide how much to do, when you've already decided to keep "patina". I've seen lots of folks use it as an excuse to leave stuff dangerous and/or dysfunctional. So you were right to remove the rust (it propagates) and straighten the footrests. If it *is* broke, yes, actually fix it. Like you did. I can't say I agree with the decision to scuff up the seat leather. That's just fake. The rest of the bike is actually wearing its functional history. Just as it should be. But, like I said, I love what you've done here overall. I'm looking forward to more. Just over more thing, I would have enjoyed seeing your mechanical work in normal speed. There's a rhythm and a beauty in that that's lost by having it race by. A Triumph fan from England.
