Thanks, I like your knife collection!

Thanks mate, it's taken a while but this is just a hobby and I do struggle sometimes.

You're welcome! Glad to help.

Always good to get a different perspective. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, and I found they were difficult to get the open end on also. I ended up returning the set as it started to rust very quickly.

Thanks for your reply!

That will depend on your laptop. It has a usb a connection, if your laptop has usb c you will need an adapter.

I have used it several times and am glad of the effort I put in!

That is a loaded question! Whenever someone says “that’s not a real Triumph”, I say “ if you mean it’s not by a manufacturer who was outclassed in the world market 40 yrs ago, no it’s not. However, as it is built by a manufacturer who is keeping up with modern technology and is still a player in the world market, I would argue it is. Plus, it starts and stops. “ Motorcycles are not what they once were, a one model does everything affair. If I wanted to go fast, I would buy a fast bike. I think of this as a work of art I can ride around on. I find the quality to be very good, and anyone who owned an older Triumph ( As my father did) will tell you that they weren’t comfortable or reliable and most had saddle bags to put the parts that fell off in.

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast My first street bike was a 78 bonneville T140E...it was a good bike...I did carry tools with me....and extra spark plugs and contacts...just to be on the safe side.

Yes, it was expensive, but I have used it to keep important documents secure whilst transporting, and also it is great when it is raining.

I have a Sidchrome set that has been in the boot of the car for over ten years and only sees the light of day every two or three years and it is in perfect condition. This was an issue with the chroming on one piece. The rest of the set may have been fine.

@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast yeah that's cause it's a midrange brand🤦 so what if tools rust anyways they still work

Yeah, pretty crap, hope you worked it out!

I am having a ( I think ) carb issue, and am about to remove it all again to rebuild them. I am trying to find another airbox as well.

No, but I'm going to check them out now!

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast What did you think of them woody?

@@Jocko662 they look pretty good!

Totally worth it!

I never would have got it on without your help!

Yes, as the front springs are on the strut. It depends whether you are just replacing the springs, or the whole strut. To replace the springs, you will need spring compressors and it is quite dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks @Jocko662 The bloke I bought this from obviously had money, but he had bought it from a mate of his who needed help.( So the story goes.) The bike had the cheapest ebay battery, a non o-ring chain and Shinko tyres. I've changed the battery and the chain, I'm too stingy to change the tyres until they wear out!

Job is great actually, the only bad part is the commute and when I have to be there at 5:00am. I got a tank of bad fuel this week and had to coax the Triumph home on one cylinder yesterday. Spent this morning draining the tank and carbs and changing spark plugs. Seems ok now.

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast That's good mate I'm glad to hear be careful in the dark on the bike 😬😬😬 Shame about the fuel mate that's not good. I try avoid all old servos for the fact of the integrity of their ageing tanks.

@crystalheart5877 Yes, I expected the Australian Geographic endorsement to carry some weight and was likewise disappointed.

Not sure how to reply to that.

Glad I could help

Thanks for the advice.

Yes, I found it very disappointing. Expected more with Australian Geographic endorsement.

It's just they way they do it.

Yeah mate, I sold it for $300. I try to do the right thing and only ask what I would be prepared to pay. Had plenty of interest in it.

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast That’s good 👍🏻👍🏻😎🇦🇺

Thanks for that.

Yeah, you’re right, that is absolutely what I should have done. We have only recently moved and I have not set up my Karcher yet.

I think it can be a fair indicator of how well the bike has been maintained. If you see a bike with a rusty chain. you have to wonder how much love it has had.

Thanks, I always forget.

Mate, it’s a constant battle as my mower has no catcher. I blow and vacuum regularly, but you wouldn’t know!

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast Yeah hard to keep on top of that’s for sure

Yep, me too. I only keep it because I think ‘one day I’ll find a use for it.’

Yep, and it’s the truth. That took ages to set up and even longer to edit!

Yeah, it was one of those 'seemed like a good idea at the time' things.

Yes, it is very hard to gauge how loud the video will be once published. I try to err on the side of caution rather than risk being offensively loud. Please adjust your volume as necessary.

The only thing that looks good on me is you!

Thank you, Michael. Unfortunately, it seems there are more views/likes/profits to be made by being angry and negative than for just trying to enjoy things. Have a great day!

It certainly was.

Hi Yul, good to hear from you. Had a bit of a tumultuous last six months, had to move at short notice, bought a house we had never seen other than pics on internet. Had an accident in the moving truck, not serious, but expensive. Now living in a lovely little town but can't find a job. I hope everything is going OK for you, I was wondering how you were getting along.

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast I am so so. I have a rare nerve disease that only 9 Americans have, painful and troublesome. I guess we all go through things? I’m alive, so that’s good. 👍

@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I’m sure some sort of work will come along.

Thanks mate, I have a few lined up now, so I'm hoping one will come through.

Thanks, I hope you are having a good time too!

And very simple to make.

Thanks Jay, considering the huge projects you take on I consider that high praise!

Yeah sure, just fill in your full name and credit/debit card details, including the expiry date and the CVV number on the back. NO, DO NOT DO THAT! BWS or Dan Murphy both have delivery options, try one of them.

Thanks mate, it's only a little job compared to the shit you get up to!

Thank you.

Yes that's correct, kind of a 'one size fits all but actually fits very few.'

Thanks for your comment, maybe I've just been spoiled by the stands on my previous bikes.
