WINTER IN THE SHED, BACK ON THE BUILDS
Back on with the Velocette build ,
In the shed over winter is one of my favourite times to get things done.
started with a cleanup , the problem I am having is a can't quite remember where I was up to before I went to Darwin weeks ago.
Fitting the engine back in the frame might help jog my memory.after fitting the engine I can see what I have to finish off , its very close . Hopefully I can find the time over the next week to finish it off.
We build and restore our bikes just like you , From swap meetings to our small back yard sheds to restore or modify to build the best bikes possible at a reasonable budget without breaking the bank.
I (Chris strahan) am a qualified motor mechanic with some self taught fabrication and machining skills. My father Alan Strahan is a qualified Fitter and Turner who specialises in Velocettes, He has lots of experience with other brands of motorcycles , this has been a huge help with all of our builds as you can imagine.

Checking on progress.😂
Where did that #%*¥ circlip go !
Glad you can see into the future
The past predicts the future. Hahahaha
An old school mechanic always insisted having toilet roll cores over the alloy Triumph conrods to prevent damage. Great channel.
From watching your videos and a quick chat with Alan, I was able to rebuild the clutch on my Velocette. I am a complete novice and after some minor adjustment the clutch is working very well. Thank you both 🙏
thanks always happy to help Al
Great pub with great variety of bikes 👍👌
I I own a mill/drill the same as yours and will be looking at modifying it in line with what you have done. Interestingly my machine is a different brand to yours but the same in all respects down to the model number. Aparently it has been common practice in both Taiwan and China for similar machines to be produced by different companies. Lucky we both got made in Taiwan machines which generally are better quality than Chinese made machines.
Thanks for watching . Any questions or suggestions send me an email castrahan@hotmail.com and I will pass it on to Peter
Great work again........
Thanks again!
Enjoyed every bit of that . Fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the Beeza & Trumpy up and running. 👍
Magic spot Chris. 👍
Enjoyed every minute
Did Bear film that?
In house bike building. Fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing this gp. Great video.
Those carbs look unreal.
Sure do . They will be fantastic
Are there subs in English?
I have an issue with my MAC where the clutch is dragging but only a little. Whilst I don't have any problem starting it, some slip can be felt occasionally when kicking it over. Do you think this could be a sign of worn plates? Thank you btw, these videos are invaluable 👍
Hey Dan , send me an email and I will give you a phone number. castrahan@hotmail.com. Thanks Chris
Sounds like incorrect adjustment - check that first BY THE BOOK!
Great video, tight racing in the junior racing. Safe trip home for you and the bear
Enjoy your time up north Chris.
Always reblog a vincent
Oh yeah ya know that gets warm on the sack and i feel sorry for you if it theows a rod
Job well done Peter. These Drill Mills a very versatile machine.
Thanks Geoff. Do you have one of these mills?
Very similar. Generic Toolmax. Done a lot of work with it over the past 14 years. Al can tell you a bit about it and some of the jobs that have been done.
Another great video Chris. You’re certainly surrounding yourself in a wealth of knowledge and experience 👍
What a clever bastard.
I’ll include my lineage in the next video
Sure is
Hi Chris just a question……is there somewhere we can get a list of dates and places of motorbike rally’s and meets including motorbike swap meets. If anyone has any info on these I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Al & Pete . Another Rippa Chris . 👍
G'day, Currently replacing the rings on my 1960 BSA Super Rocket 🚀 and l love working on my classic bikes but one bug bear l have is waiting on bloody parts, thanks for the video and I'm waiting for the next already, cheers boys, Neil 🤠.

Would have been better without the 'music'.
I will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching
Well done Chris.........haven't done an ABR but I think it won't be far away............
Ahhh it's the biggest machinist rally in Australia !! 😆
So true
Hell yeah😊
G’day bloke, bugger, I always seem to find out about these events after the fact🫣. If I had a clue I would have been there😁. Maybe next time. Thanks for showing me. Hooroo mate🏍👍😎
G'day, l was at the BSA rally, always great fun and mateship with like-minded people, thanks for the video, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Thanks for the great explaination. I have a newly acquired '54 MSS Velo with the KTT Belt Drive setup. I could not get the clutch to release fully despite performing the procedure detailed in the workshop manual. I took it all apart and found the previous owner had installed 7/8" springs for earlier bikes instead of the 1-1/18" springs listed in the parts list for all the 9-plate clutch setups. Could this account for the issues I was having? I have correct springs on order.
Hi , send me an email and we will get back to you to you asap. castrahan@hotmail.com
Phil Crump was my hero when I was a young man in the 70s that man sure could ride😊😊❤
GM and Jawa nirvana. Wow👍👍😍
Does anybody know the origins of this bike out there. ?????
Never seen one of those before😊
