I have one of the last 10 Brockhouse "Chiefs" that came into the US. Its a 61. I traded for it... in 1971 and it had been turned into a off road Jackpine 500 bike by the time I got it,. Ive never ridden it, but I did start it for the first time in 2009. (Grin). Now that Im trying to retire..its the first thing on my agenda to put on the road when I can stop chasing the dollar. After this one... is the 72 Triumph T120 with the sidecar thats sitting next to the Super Meteor/Chief. Love your videos!
Only recently found your channel as the Interceptor thumbnail popped up . Stunning looking bike and love the green colour . Glad you seem to have overcome the teething problems. Paul Hensher is a motorcycle engineer in Wales and has a YT channel . He does a lot of work on RE's . Worth a look if you would rather watch someone else fix them . Best wishes from the UK .
Beautiful bike. I could tell that’s PA; I live there too. These old bikes take a lot of know-how and I don’t have what it takes, but I just love watching them. I can’t believe there’s no key. How did people prevent theft? Not that you need a key now; I don’t think anyone would be able to start it to steal it.
@@mongrelmotorsports Right 💯💯. Thank you for the information. Just one question though. Are there any Twin / multi cylinder kick start motorcycles with a factory fitted decomp.?
'Bike sounds great, thanks for sharing your early morning ride 👍

Real nice bike👍
I've fallen in love with the 750 Interceptor, it ought to be next for me alongside my newer 650 Interceptor.
It's a good bike, provided you have some mechanial skills and can tolerate a bit of crudeness.

A lot of these had keys added, usually in the tool/battery box. This one had a hole where it looked like one may have been once.
smooth happy, made for England's a roads rather than motorways
No decompressor?
The twins did not have them.
@@mongrelmotorsports ookk 👍👍. Must be heavy for kick starts
It requires a kick like you mean it. 🙂 Same as a Norton or most British twins.
