This was my father on the tractor and neither of us are have much expertise with ploughing. I think the boards and points are fairly new on the plough which helps, and they are made for shallow ploughing as we haven’t got much depth of topsoil on our fields. The ground conditions on this field weren’t ideal-very dry and hard. We just try and get the plough looking level on the yard before we start and then make adjustments as we go along.

I’m sure you’re probably right about the older girder fork Velocette I mentioned. I’ll check on that with Wayne. That bike should be up and running soon, so if I get a video of it on to youtube, I’ll make sure the description is correct. Thanks

Mine always start the first 🥇🥇😅😊😊

It’s a 1953 MSS 500. Harry also left a 1935 Velocette 500 and six other running, but unrestored classics.

@arweltom cool. I am going to purchase a Velo shortly, likely a late model MSS or maybe a Venom. Still trying to make up my mind as which is best for me.

I’m glad you liked the video. Harry died last year aged 92, and now his daughter and son in law have the bike. Harry used the bike as his daily transport to work all year round whatever the weather was.

@@arweltom do you have any videos of Harry? It would be cool to see him, especially after hearing that little bit about his tenacity.

I’m afraid there’s nothing in the way of video of Harry riding because he stopped riding when he was in his early eighties and that was before we carried phones around to video everything! He left another seven nice classics though, including a 1933 Velocette 500.

Thanks. I’ve realised that now.

Thanks, this was one of Sophie’ s first track days. She got faster and came third in a club championship a couple of years later

Yes, there’s nothing like red - lining one of these through the gears

Glad you like it. The bike’s way too big and powerful for a rider of my standard on a track as tight and twisty as Cadwell. Thanks

This bike was set up and tuned to race in the Thundersprint super naked championship. Cadwell was a bit too tight and twisty for a bike this heavy and a rider of my limited ability. I've had it going much better round tracks I'm more familiar with like Anglesey and Oulton. Good luck with yours, the 955's are great bikes and I'm sure you'll love it.

@@arweltom thanks. Its a great looking bike. Sounds superb. I can only imagine its sound up close in person

Get a life dickhead

eskimo427 That exhaust sounds like a Hinckley triple breathing freely. It’s a glorious sound, just fired mine up and out for a run somewhere isolated tomorrow.

*said NO ONE*

@@arweltom as the owner of Daytona 955 and Tiger 1050 I think your bike sounds like a bag of nails. If you don't like negative responses to your posts I suggest you don't post. For comparison, I have an Arrow exhaust on my 1050 and I also think that sounds rubbish too.

@@eskimo427 Reel it in snow boy - it's a recording of a track day not a sound studio !

Thanks

Glad you enjoyed the video, I just wish I could have done the bike and the track more justice! Nice job you've done on your Triumphs, my 955 was built as a race bike from new and raced in the Thunder Sport Championship(super naked class). The engine is modified to about 150bhp and has upgraded suspension. I've also got a 1997 Daytona 1200 and a 1994 Speed Triple th-cam.com/video/Vmw7Vu1a1X4/w-d-xo.html

Thanks, the bikes an absolute pleasure to ride, but was a bit of a handful round Cadwell for someone of my limited ability!

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Thanks, I'm sure you're right about the gearing, I felt like I was struggling all day! I usually ride at Anglesey and Oulton and it's an absolute pleasure to ride on those tracks.

The exhaust is a stainless steel 3-1 made by MHP Exhausts. It was on the bike when I bought it so I've not dealt with them personally, but I can definitely say that it's a top-notch quality exhaust. The bike is set up to run a bit rich, and on the over-run it sounds like a shotgun going off and it shoots out two foot long flames.

lawmand Electrical problem. Not sure yet why it's cutting out. First time I've ridden at Cadwell and I really enjoyed it, just not too keen on the 500 mile round trip to get there!CheersArwel

arweltom Credit to you, it's a great track hope you get the bike running well again. I recently sold my T595, it was a very fast bike. I was running a little white SV650 at Cadwell the day you were there, love it. You see my bike in front of the red van about 15 seconds in as you ride to the paddock.
