  • Beautiful 23 degree day in Angaston South Australia. Went for test ride to try my Gopro Hero 9 Black on my 1909 Triumph with NSU 2 speed pulley attached. Video was shot in 4K 60 frames per second Linear with maximum stabilization and is unedited. Was unaware that the Gopro would devide it into 8 minute 51 sec clips but I am quite happy with the result. Note the needle revolving on the Bonniksen Speedometer

      You get the hang of it after 25 or so years riding it. The NSU 2 speed pulley looks easy but you need to be an octopus as you really need 2 hands on the bars when taking off.

    Old vintage bike engine sound is way to hassle, heavier, loud and noisy in todays' standard as velocity was not a priority back to those days but OLD is definitely GOLD. The earliest technology can be mind-blowing sometimes.

    You can send it back to factory in England and demand a restore! Triumph should design a new one with such a retro points. Let's say 100 cc. Very nice to see a bicycle engine. This would be a farrrrr retro to modern times. Iconic. Nice video.

      Yes it can be pedalled but you would have to take the belt off or it would be too hard to pedal turning over the motor even with the decompressor lifted.

    I presume that the steering design is changed from the bicycle??

    • @davidradloff4776
      @davidradloff4776  7 місяців тому

      Basically, the steering is the same, just heavier duty to cope with the increased weight. Also there is a spring arrangement at the top of the forks that was Triumph's idea to deal with the rough roads. In fact it just elongates the wheelbase and makes it like riding a greyhound dog!! 😮😊
