I put more miles on a T140 then all other motors together,just broke my right leg .Was hit on a harley and I'm diein to ride .that was a big job.Respect!
Well done, thankyou for saving 1973 T140, I had one years ago, it was a bit special, got rid of all balance pipes, reverse cone megs fitted & dynamicly balanced crank, rods, pistons. Bowyer ignition mk2 Amals. It was the best bike that I ever had. Then some Bar-Stuard, stole it. Almost broke my heart. P/S, so glad you saved that crank. Some people think that a big hammer will fix (forse) anything*!?# 😵💫👹🙃
Amazing work. Absolutely well done. It reminds me on similar project I finished quite a lot of years ago on 6T 1961. The bike that is still here at my home. Once done completely and properly surely lasts long.Thanks.
had same year T140V XH22347 (amazing the trivia one never forgets) very fond memories, actually liked the original sidecovers/ airboxes more along with original mufflers, one change that really changes the handling is to pop 4" longer front forks in ….then you really can throw it around.. nice to see this completed though
My first motorcycle was a 1973 Bonnie 750. I was 17 and bought if from a guy who bought it at the dealer on impulse and then didn't want it. I think I remember it had around a thousand miles on it. What a great bike that was.
From a few years ago but i love these bikes. Build turned out perfect !! ' 69 650 Tiger was bought by one friend then sold to another. Great times ! Best motorcycle memory for me was screaming up a two lane street where i grew up on a Sunday Night, Daytona 500,1975 . my 'mom' (birth and wife) wouldn't let me buy one.
pity about the music, not that its bad like some of the stuff people put on, but I would much rather you talked about what you are doing, just a thought.
Wow = my brothers had triumphs when I was about 7 yrs old... 1 was a trophy 500 = 1 was a tiger ... and BSA. 650 lightning... = These bike expounded coolness in MOTORCYCLES... = Great looks and great sounds... SEEMS to me alot were chopped and modified... Good to see you bring this bike back to ORIGINAL form... thanks for sharing
best mod on these is an oil filter kit, goes in same place as the mesh strainer in the oil in frame models.I had a tweaked 77'T140v, wish I;d never sold it.
I thought that, but the "experts" of all things triumph say not to put one on because its not on the feed side of the oil system, the sump sucks it through the filter and they reckon its not a good idea?
@@junglie that's brilliant news, just got a new bike and the filter on it looks ancient, and it was still sucking the oil through it so all good. These triumph forums of full of people discussing who's got the biggest kahoonas I'm sure
I had a Daytona 500 [69] and a 76 Bonny 750 T140v...Pretty bikes, but really, pretty trashy. Frames where weak, oil system was weak. I rode it for years till I bought a 70 Electra-Glide. 34 years ago, still ride the Glide all the time, but, Ive thought about another Triumph.
wow thats alot of work. I could never do that much. Have done a clutch adjustment and point set. but nothing so intense as this. You have to know your sh-- ! hAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS, PARTS AND SMARTS !
A crime the way that bike was left to rot. So glad you saved her. I'm surprised they handle as well as they do considering how simple and basic the frame is. Obviously stiffness and light weight account for more than meets the eye. Plus tire size etc. As i had read about the detrimental effect of Moto Guzzi LeMans going to a 16" front wheel at one point during their production. Looks to be roller bearing mains and plain shell rod bearings. I could never get what to me was acceptable life from the bottom end of my Triumph 500 TT. I think the roller bearings must have been the culprit. Some folks give a rabid defense of British engineering. I wonder why British vehicles always gave me problems i never experienced elsewhere. Gas lines freezing up in the cold climate, weak trans. and 3rd member, poor bottom end life (Triumph motorcycle)
This post is somewhat late. I remember this magnificent restoration from years back.I'm so glad I ran into it again. Last month I was hit by some woman and broke my elbow and dislocated my shoulder.My Vstrom came out fine. What a treat to see your videos.My next door neighbor's T150 needs your superior skills. Thank you for making me smile.
😊 A pleasure Frank and thank you very much. I wish you have a speedy recovery from your injuries and thank you for watching my videos. My best wishes. Loscar✌👍
I'm doing the same job now. Mine was a running machine, but needed reconditioning. I was with the original owner, my best buddy, when he bought it from Jimmy Arnold's Triumph in Memphis in 1979. I have worked on this bike on and off for 42 years for 3 other friends who bought it from each other. Now it will stay with me, and I will ride with the original owner as he rides his 20 year old Honda Valkyrie this next summer. Oh, and yours looks great. Still riding it?
😊 Thank you very much Alex for that interesting story. I keep driving and restoring as long as my body allows it! ✌ Thank you very much for your note. Kind regards, Loscar
Short of stealing the words of Gordon Stuart:- beautiful beautiful bike, it is a job well done and great attention to detail even down to the music on the post. Thank you thoroughly enjoyed your post from start to finish 👍❤✌
It's alright when you know what you're doing and got the tools. Dudes like me have to pay top dollar after they have been done up. p.s! love the seventies style BBC hum and drum music.
Hi, friend. Yes, that's true, but you can also do a lot of things at your own level and doing the work yourself gives great satisfaction. Greetings Loscar✌️
Very special. And looks the part with the older style side panels. Hope all original bits retained, though no need to even think of putting them back on this beauty. What a recreation, Loscar
Hi Matthew, I'm glad you like it. Of course I keep its original panels but much more beautiful with the most classic style. Thanks for watching my videos. Best regards Loscar.👍
Gracias amigo. Precisamente estoy haciendo ahora, otra TR7RV de 1978 Un conocido me la ofreció en precio razonable y por descartar el proyecto de restauración. Ahora tendré tres, la Bonneville y dos Tiger.😉 No me importa, por que me gustan mucho. Su diseño clásico con su bonito motor (una escultura de Turner) y con sus cinco marchas muy bien escalonadas, la hacen una moto muy divertida. Hace tiempo que no subo ningún video al canal, pero siempre estoy haciendo cosas. He restaurado para amigos, pero prefiero hacer solo mis motos. Ahora he terminado, mi otra Honda Four K3 que quedo muy bonita, pero ya hice un video de mi K6 y no me gusta repetir. Ya veremos. Mi pasión son los hierros Británicos, pero también las alemanas, italianas, Japonesas, etc.😅 Si solo tiene 4000Km eso estará nuevo!! No sé si te valdría, abrir el motor. Con esos pocos km debería estar perfecto y con solo una buena limpieza, puede recuperar el aspecto de nuevo. También puedes quitar tapas y pulirlas. Pintar el resto, deposito, bastidor y cromar partes ya depende de tu criterio. En hora buena y si tienes alguna duda cuenta con migo. Saludos Loscar ✌
Had a 1964 Bonne. in Hi-School. Gold & white tank. Parcel Rack. Loved it ! Got drafted and had to sell it. Wish I had not . Got a 1967 Trophy now. Complete rebuilt from frame up. Former owner took out points and put in a little black box. Electronic Ignition. No more points to adjust or replace. Love to ride her, but morons on phone made her a garage queen ! I need to collect a few more SS checks before I go !
I'm probably the only one who wants to know who is the killer blues guitar cat a la Kenny Burrell or Wes Montgomery, Geo. Benson is performing this...?? Also, I dig this restoration like crazy... don't have the skills or tools, but now looking at my "71" TR6 thinking she's not standing proud enough...many thanks for post.....
Agreed. 73 owner here. 5 speeds, right side shift, and the retro side covers and air horns. With the Pazon/Podtronics combo its the best of all worlds.
This is an interesting hybrid echoing essentially what Hinckley Triumph have been trying to do which is to capture the 'essence' of a Bonneville in their contemporary designs. For me some of it works really well some of it doesn’t especially the tail light area. The ‘gargoyle’ tail light, as it was known, wasn’t a highlight of BSA/Triumph's design history and making it erect IMHO hasn’t helped. Overall though it’s a valiant effort and one to be highly commended. Well done Loscar.
I never see Daytona when i bought my 7.50 in 1977, i think they had stopped making them by then, why didnt they continue can find no answere, great hansom looking bike problems ironed out by 73!
😊 I think the same as your Bob. The new covers in the classic design recover all the beauty of a true Bonneville. Thank you very much for your note. Best regards, Loscar.✌
looks like you have a Bultaco Sherpa-T model 80 but doesn't have the rear brake hub stay or silencer on it? I have this model! I have a amateur motorcycle collector/restorer and old C2 corvette restoration guy, and I have to say you are the one best restoration guys I have ever seen. I like to restore dirt bike, because after one too many car resto's, I like to see the light at the other end of the tunnel! I love to see you start your restored bikes 1st kick, sometime mine will and sometimes not, always exciting to find out!!
i CAN'T LEAVE MINE ALONE WHEN i GO SHOPPING. TOO MANY WANN- BEES, DROOLING AND SITTING ON HER. I HAD TO COVER HER UP AND LOCK IT. SURE MISS RIDING HER. SHE'S A GARAGE QUEEN NOW. TEMPTED TO PUT GAS AND BATTERY IN A RUN UP THE STREET A FEW TIME. COPS ARE QUICK HERE. VERY CHANCY WITH NO LEAGAL PLATES AND SUCH .
I've had a variety of motorcycles since I was 16. I worked on them myself and developed an appreciation for their craftsmanship. The feeling of riding a machine rumbling and vibrating between your legs with the sound is so enjoyable. I am 70 now. If I lived near you, I would help you work on your bikes for free. I love the passion and have been inspired by you. 6/15/22.
Hi, friend. From your comments I see that our life has been very similar, we are even almost the same age, but I beat you by one. I'm 71 years old and I wouldn't mind having you for free help? 😂 I'm sure we'd have a good time. Thank you for commenting and watching my videos. With best wishes. Loscar✌
Gorgeous! I've been given a very weather-beaten '76 T140V to return to the road. The gearbox was pulled in 1991 and then it sat for years outside. Question, you use glass bead blasting rather than vapor? How do you ensure that all media is removed prior to assembly? Lots of cleaning?
Hi Erwin: I use the jet through micro glass spheres and it does require a very rigorous cleaning due to the serious consequences. After several cleanings I finish with an ultrasonic final. Best regards, loscar👍
😊I am not a professional, I only restore my motorcycles and some commitment from friends. I am retired (seventy years) and I only restore for therapy and pure pleasure.

Thank you for a well made video, I just recently brought my T 140v Bonnelville out of bad storage for 27 years. Your video gives me some direction. Where is your shop located? I can do a lot of the work but rebuilding the engine isn't my thing. Can you recommend any body in the Portland ORegon area. Thanks Tim
Did you find anyone yet? The "Sandy Bandit" is no more and while i don't know of any British specialist shops around Portland the Moto Guzzi/Aprilia dealer on about 105th & Sandy in ParkRose works on all brands and the principle owner/owners previously restored British bikes exclusively i believe as their market niche.
Nice!! I have a 1978 T 140,,, just restored it last year,,,changed to electronic ignition and upgraded all the wiring and used drycell battery and voltage regulator. I have the amal carburetors on mine.
Outstanding refurbishment on the old classics. Brilliant ! No better word. Keep up the good work .
Thank a lot Viraf! Cheers, Loscar
What a piece of art!, fantastic! WOW!
I put more miles on a T140 then all other motors together,just broke my right leg .Was hit on a harley and I'm diein to ride .that was a big job.Respect!

Super job looks beautiful. What music is playing - it sounds like Kenny Burrell?
You have to ask who would treat a bike to leave it in the condition this one was in when you found it.
hope you changed the awful cams and put e3134s in they didn't need 5 gears either!
It is a good restoration and the bike looks very good. It was a good bike in its time.

Not to forget the crank sludge traps.
This is an interesting hybrid echoing essentially what Hinckley Triumph have been trying to do which is to capture the 'essence' of a Bonneville in their contemporary designs. For me some of it works really well some of it doesn’t especially the tail light area. The ‘gargoyle’ tail light, as it was known, wasn’t a highlight of BSA/Triumph's design history and making it erect IMHO hasn’t helped. Overall though it’s a valiant effort and one to be highly commended. Well done Loscar.

Nice!! I have a 1978 T 140,,, just restored it last year,,,changed to electronic ignition and upgraded all the wiring and used drycell battery and voltage regulator. I have the amal carburetors on mine.
Congratulations George. Thank you for watching my videos.
Les motos d'aujourd'hui ça ne ressemble plus à rien !!!

Complete junk. You should sell it to me so I can spare you the burden of ownership. I'd do that for you. Really, I would
