Torn between the two versions of the Triumph, loved the patina of it when you picked it up, but love what you did to it as well. Did you know that Triumph actually make their own 'Bobber' now? Not ridden one but supposed to be awesome!
i know the bobber is nice but man that was a sin to do it to an original,that old triumph had tons of charm...such a sin to just make another run of the mill hard tail,there is guys crying for them to have original,they are much more valuable restored to standard and in that case to leave as is..why he just didnt go buy a motor and just use off the shelf hardtail frame,lot more respect should be given to old girls in original running form..plenty scrappers or unfinished ones lying about,my dad has one from the cafe racer times all original and it draws onlookers everywhere,even hard nosed Harley guys love it...now that bobber is just another one of the countless same style bobbers you look at for ten seconds walking past at a show.
One thing, years afterward when your kids are grown and the wife is either gone her own way or is just an expense you're going to be thinking a lot about that bike you sold. DON'T SELL THE BIKE! Just because the wife can't ride with the baby doesn't mean you can't ride it when you find time. Even if it's once or twice a month is better than the regret.
often wondered when American mechanics are working on bikes do they remember all the spanner sizes, they don't use metric, I remember pre-metric, just, witworth British standard spanners, across corners and across flats, 3/8th 5/16th etc, very confusing compared to metric, 8 - 10 - 18 - 22 - 32 - mm, very easy to use,
It really is a shame they cut the value more than in half for that Triumph 650. It was worth so much more if restored to original design instead of just another hard tail that isn't even street legal in many states. No Fenders... so is it a fair weather touring bike? Good luck with that. Just sad.
Nope I would not work for that "LITTLE PRINCE". I'M NOT WORKING AT HIS PACE FOR ANYONE. I do not see why the young lady didn't just go buy a small scooter that has some room for carrying stuff on it as well. Beings she is a student she could at least carry her books in a scooter and not have to worry about peddling and a back pack on her back.
that "mechanic" is a first year apprentice at best, that other dude with the deep voice who saves these kids every time there is an oil leak on a brand new motor ( cool laid back guy with over 20 years at this shop) forgot wayyyy more than this cry baby will ever know or seems to will ever want to know, I hope he grows a chin and takes a few for him and the team!
I came here and liked all that was going on until the fowl language didn't start getting bleeped and the use of it was near null. I am about to unsubscribe, if they can't control their anger issues and man up and keep it cool without the cussing. Only children and illiterate adults thin fowl language is cool to use all the time.
“I think he’s gonna kill me”
Always love Jim in every episodes 😂😂
If your wife calls someone to buy your bike while you are out riding your bike... you sell the wife, not the bike 😂
Gromzen 😂

My favorite episode. And made me realize how Ness family are kind hearted for the industry
people like you that bastardise decent old Trumpys to "bobber" them make the rest of our bikes (originals) worth so much more money. Thanks.
Hi thanks 🙏 great 👍 to see guys working well to gather happy doing what they love
Riding with the stand down haha🧐
My cousin love building custom old triumphs and Norton’s great bikes
The nuts and bolts are the Bessemer system so they're very odd sizes.
When Ness was riding I thought I seen the kick stand down!!

Just some American propaganda bullshit TV show inducing you into buying an Harley instead of an European ... it's beyond pathetic, is kind of sad.
