I was proud to explain all the details to my son of your dream to build her and the skills required to make it a reality. You're looking well. Remember to pace yourself in this new reality.

I was off work for a month and binge watched all your videos. Thoroughly enjoyed them all, thanks for making them, and I certainly hope that you can continue to do so. I like your teaching style.

    Hi Paul. You look healthy and happier than ever. So it looks like you're on your way to full recovery. I have a close friend who went through chemo and everything and they came out on the other side 100%. So, if they can do it, you can do it too!
    Your Excelsior is a real animal! Glad to see it run again, which is a good omen for you. And the more I see it, the more I think Bud Ekins may have had one in the piles of bikes he had stashed at his place. I took a bunch of photos at one point - but not every time I visited - so I'm going to have to dig them up and see if Bud had an Excelsior. He had just about every old bike you can think of, so he may have had one of these too. Keep getting better, and keep up the good work!

      Thanks for the great comments. Appreciate it! Bud may have had an old Excelsior, but the chances it was an OHC model are very, very small. I believe the factory only made four OHC models.

    I admire the wheel rims on that bike - the body colour plus white pinstripes. Very nice!
    I used to build bicycle wheels.

      Thank you. If you look closer, the pin stripes are actually lime green...

    Thank you guys. This summer I started a 1954 beetle engine that I rebuilt that had not run since 1977 when it spun a rod bearing. It sure made a happy sound. It took a while to get it to run right tho, it had the wrong spring in the fuel pump which made terrible problems..

    Enjoy?? Quite the understatement Paul. Watching your friend run the starter made my shoulders hurt. Clearly those cylinders produce quite a bit of compression! I can’t even imagine riding that on a road course! I hope you’re feeling better, you certainly look/sound like it. You get extra credit for discussing/describing an awful crash man. I’ve definitely piled a few race bikes , but there aren’t many I like to discuss !!!

    • @paulbrodie
      @paulbrodie  2 роки тому

      Thanks Glen. Harrys compression ratio is about 8:1 and you do have to hang onto the starter. Ruby Racer has a compression ratio of 12.5:1 so you have to pay a little more attention :)

    Wow your commitment to originality is truly impressive. I gather Bowden cables weren’t widely used when excelsiors ruled. You would have loved my friend Frank and his Radco - leather drive belt off a secondary wood rim and wood brake blocks.
