Have we found the original owner from 1949 ? While surfing the internet I came across A photo of a Triumph GP 500. The rider in the photo was Dave Powell , Dave was from Hobart Tasmania. Our Triumph was delivered to Hobart in 1949. After finding the photo I found that Dave Powells family has a car dealership in Hobart. So Dad gave them a call and they supplied us with some photos and newspapers...

Have a good Christmas and new year. 👍🇬🇧
Always look forward to your videos Chris,they are very informative about the old bikes and history around them just like this one of Pastry Dave, Alan enjoys himself telling the story around them. All the best Chris & Alan and your family have a great Xmas and hope 2025 is a good year for you all. “Stay safe on the roads”.
Very enjoyable look into the old girl’s past . 👍🏁
Great job, Chris and Allan. Another great year from the hagon factory. Merry Xmas from the Owen clan.
What a great story........The provenance of these bikes is sometimes more interesting than the bike itself. You guys have done a great job with these productions and deserve all the subscribers you have. You and Alan have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. I look forward to next year's instalments.
Coming along nicely!
It’s looking good
Another great production Chris and a great story as well. The bike is coming along a treat and looks fantastic. Thanks for the update and Merry Xmas.
Merry Christmas Tony , thanks for watching
Give us a yell if you or the old boy come down to Tassie!
Will do , thanks for watching
Good point on the rear brake torque arm, i think mines bolted up solid not allowing for float !. Do those sprung hubs travel in a small arc or just up and down?, putting the chain under tension at extreme travel?. Good bloke Alan, having a m/c in your front room is a sign of commitment, good on ya' mate, enjoy.
Last year I read a ton of Velocette books. They were sending race bikes to Australia and New Zealand to get them out of their hair. They figured the locals would have to learn how to work on them which was better than people bringing them back to the factory (which was taking up valuable time). Did Triumph do the same?
Progress is looking good.
Great video Chris & Al . 👍🏁
crosplane or inline ?
Great video. Great background music.
I'm wearing that purple long sleeve you see.
Caught up with Alan on Saturday and checked out the latest status. As always everything is top level.
Hi guys , you talked about the mount for the arm on the rear brake plate . I guess it is the same as the T100 fitted with that type of frame , and it mounts on bracket that swivels on the back of the brake pedal spindle . I have a spare one . Do you guys have an email address so we can talk ?
Hi Terry , thanks for the offer , Alan went and had a look at one of and he ended up making one. Thanks for watching
Would you post a list of the upgrades used on the motor ,those con rods look new. but it looks like you still need a remote float chamber for the carbs ,matchbox type would fit nicely . love the square finning design .
Hi David , I will get a list together asap . We have the original float bowl . It has just been filled. I will get a photo in the next update. Thanks for watching
Thats a generator motor out of an aircraft.
Davo from England again. PPS. If you have a timing cover with sufficient metal around the crankshaft oil feed bush it is a good mod to bore out the bush and substitute an oil seal and circlip from a unit 650. Much better oil pressure so less likely to go bang. Regards Davo.
Funny you say that Davo, that is on our list and will happen on both of our Triumph builds
Hi, Davo from Gloucester England. Re megaphones. Armours in Uk do a good repro. Re Smiths Rev counter drive. (Same as race kit) Took me about 10 years to find mine. Not seen another since. Your best bet would be to make one using the gear and shortened shaft from the lucas dynamo and use an angle drive from a unit Bonnie or similar. The original is a very tight fit between the engine plate and the timing case. With the dynamo engine plate you have a bit more room. If you need an oil filter (Vokes) I know of a spare.( I would not bother as the brass filter element is the size of a cotton reel and clogs with crap after about 10 miles) Don't forget to sleeve the inlet manifold with a thin wall tube or you will get air leaks next to the allen screw cut outs. Best regards Davo (Occasional visitor to Moore Park Beach, Nr Bundaberg. PS Its snowing here !!!!!!!.)
Hey Davo, we will definitely check them out , thanks for your help and thanks for watching. We are about 1800km away from Bunderberg. It’s a fair hike from Bendigo Victoria
Change music it killed me trying to watch this
@@JaiMontgomery-oz7jf thanks for watching
Music was fantastic.
@ thanks for watching
sprung hub brake anchor has a bracket that connects to the back of the brake pedal spindle......am running a standard wheel on the '51 Thunderbird under construction here in NZ.....
Awesome work fellas! Give us a hoy if you're ever coming down to Tassie!
Great project! There is an original Second World War Triumph generator in a museum in Northland New Zealand, still in the box, which has fascinated me for years. It has the same square alloy barrel as your race engine.
Beautiful Alan 👍🏁🏁🏁
Thanks 👍
I couldn't make it the Bendigo Swap meet this year, but I am glad you were able to share this video ! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Take a leaf out of the USA shows.....particularly Dave FROM BULLEN CYCLES interesting video clips. None of that noisy bloody music !!!!!!
Thanks for watching
Turn that noisy music racket down for Christ sake !
Fantastic music.
Hi Chris.............I was there Saturday and it's been the first trip back post covid. Brought my son and stepson with me as well for the weekend. I must admit the volume of bike stuff around was a lot less than last time, however we did get a good haul of useful parts. Some of the bikes on offer were very well priced in some cases. With how much money the event brings to town, do you think the council would step and keep it running? We actually arrived on the friday and left Monday. I took the boys into town to see the Black Swan and a few other places, and just driving around town it's not hard to pick who was at the swap meet.............Great production once again.
Hey Tony , you should have given me a call. Llanelly motorcycle only swap early next year is the one to go to. Thanks for watching
Glad I could turn the volume Off
Thanks for watching
Im mobily immobile So this is fantastic, cheers beer's
Great video. I remember the Bultacos and the rest being tested up and down Marshall Crescent as a kid back in the 70's. We lived across the road from the Sens'.
Thank You. Great Memories.
Thanks for watching. The test runs would have been great to watch
2025 is the last year
Where did you get that information from? Not correct
I was there it was so awesome
Sure was
Best experience ever.
I no
Cool thanks
Love the video. Can you tell me what the last song is.
Hey , I will have a look when I get a chance. Probably tomorrow. Thanks for watching
What's wrong with the music?
It’s depressing, like most country and western music.
The Gatton Swap Meet died . ...now its all deluded grifters onthe net
Now held at Laidley just down the road a bit🙂
Thank Christ I could mute, that terrible background noise.
Thanks for watching
With respect " To each His own " This background music 100% better than silence .
@@vincentsuzanne6515 Fantastic music.
Mate, at the risk of sounding like a dik, what's a three speed clutch?
Three spring clutch. Steve may have mumbled. Hahahaha
I watched the whole video but never saw theJAP twin
Talk to Neil Athorn. If he doesn't know, no one will.
Thanks for watching
Hell no!!!!!!!
Great stuff again mate, some really nice bikes there.
Thanks for watching Tony , you’re Bantam is looking great
Graham was my boss many moons ago, he got me even more into Bullies. Be nice to see his old bikes with #300 on them again. His son Brett still has the Hagon slider.
Thanks for watching, Graham had some great bikes. Thanks ti Noel we all get to see them again
Not surprising that Noels bikes a perfection! He seems to have a creative genius ability.
Thank You. Tony.
Thanks Tony
