It was a very nice meeting. 🤙

❤Excellent, I loved it...

Side stand kick start is not good.

Cool video. Subscribed for more.

Putting it on the center stand makes it easier to kick. I love the old Triumphs, they're so fun to ride.

Riding through Columbus on that bike made me miss Ohio. I used to blast through Dayton all the time. Rust-belt scenery screams motorcycles to me.

The GB500 is on my buy-on-sight list once i make my millions.

You made me smile goosing it under the bridge. I do that sort of stuff sometimes. You be careful out there. Crazies all around you all the time. Oh, your pipes sound great!

I'm a big old dude and spent a lot of money getting together some genuine H-D mids for my '14 72. All my bikes have had standard pegs (over more than 50 years) and this thing came with those Fonda Peter forwards. They were roomy but I just felt unstable in cornering, put up with it a whole season but finally got the arse with them and put on mids. It's good to be back home again.

NICE! My mother-in-law has a 71 Triumph Bonneville 650. Still regularly rides it at age 58 and has had it since she was 19. It's pretty fast and powerful. I learned to ride vintage kickers on my dad's 1970 BSA 750. Both her Triumph and my dad's BSA have custom duel exhaust which make them loud like Harleys both of them rattle the windows when they ROAR!

Good for you lady, you managed to ride what is really an old fashioned sporty ' man's' bike w/o dropping it etc. The next thing to learn soon is to hand signal before turns. Two advantages of these old British twin cylinder bikes is their stability but easy handling, and lots of low rpm torque, so you don't have do a lot of gear shifting.

Best advice I ever got was from a friend who is a motorcycle cop. Rides bikes all day, every day, but not always the same bike as the day before/previous shift. (FJ12's or BMW's here in the UK) Different clutch travel, brake response, just feels different etc. So... Get on, ride a couple of blocks, or to the end of the street. Get off. Have a cigarette (if you smoke) or walk around the bike a couple of times. Get back on and it all feels familiar. I have said this to all my novice biker friends and they all agree it helps a ton when it all felt so alien previously. And there is no better source of advice than from a Scottish Motorcycle Cop. All roads. All conditions. All weathers! Oh, and yes, you need sturdy boots to be kicking and riding a Triumph...

Like you saying it's not a Giant engine I have the 250 in Thailand,still sounds great it's an 87 BTw doesn't have as much fancy stuff as the 500 but hey I like it plus it's super rare here

Very nice park, Ed.

subscribed purely because of Spanish rice and singing

She should not be allowed to ride it she has not got a clue

And, yes, it will launch from second gear, and one can find a false neutral twixt second and third. Says the guy who's done it...

lol dave baustia the wrestler popped in my mind when you started talking! love the vintage bikes

The thing about old bikes are that you are more in touch with the machine. You have to think more about what you are doing which makes it more interesting. Modern bikes are too easy, they seem to have lost their soul. Hardly any input in designing or making them. And they used to sound and smell better.

Are we going to get a 2024 update on the low rider??

Well done. Nice gear selection. Just enough and packs nicely. I'm new here but I dig what your puttin out. Be safe. I'm rootin fer ya.

Very nice video. So, if I was paying attention, the things you forgot were, a lighter, bug spray, and me. Lol just kidding. Are you familiar with Jess from Her Two Wheels? She moto camps on the regular and she from Ohio too. I hope you enjoyed you lil retreat. I enjoyed you taking us along. I'm rootin fer ya

I like this video. You are showing the city, not only talking about the bike, technical details, performance etc. So, you actually show us what you do with your bike. And the music an essential part of the atmosphere here. It was fun to ride with you.

Do you think someone who is 5'1 would be able to manage this as a beginner bike?

Such a beautiful machine. If I could afford one (and find one) I would snap it up. I have been riding my RE Classic 500 for the last four years but this bike would bring me into Honda realm.

Top speed? Will it do the Ton?🤔🤪

Moon pie

Sounds like you're in second gear on the takeoff

Tickle my 72 Daytona Twin Carb , twist the Wick 1/4 turn x 3 . Hold Wick Open 1/4 Turn Starts 1st or 2nd Kick Everytime . Even after sitting for 3 Winter Months

Dual Sportster! Love it!

That's a Huge cemetery! You have an eye for beauty, which I admire. Beautiful bike.

Nice job on the campfire! I just started camping off my bike and I love it.

I learnt to ride on a Honda CD175 then switched to a 1961 Triumph 3TA (no turn signals). I found the right hand shift to be much better after a few rides to get used to it. After more than three decades without a bike, I got back into motorcycling on an AJS Model 8, another right hand shift but upside down compared to the triumph (1st gear is up & the rest are down). I found that harder to get used to than moving from left to right. That's a lovely Bonneville, well worth taking the time to know.

That’s a beautiful vintage Bonnie, and it starts so easily.

Awesome stuff!

Wow nice good

Those are some new carbs because the thing idles. No Triumph idles consistently.

Just wait till you ride a Norton. Up until 1975 the shifted on the right and the shift pattern in one up and three down. You shift up to down shift. How do ya like that wasp wasted tank? Modern bikes are not that shapely.

Don’t be frightened of the Triumph. They go, stop, handle and are very forgiving.

Great video! That Karen in the beginning lol

I was five the first time I ever saw a motorcycle. It was a 49 Triumph Speed-twin. I have always felt Triumph made the nicest looking bikes. At ten I learned to ride on a Triumph Cub. As for the right foot shifter, all the British bikes and the Harley sportser had right foot shifting. We called it goofey foot shifting. The feds mandate all bikes shift left foot starting in 1975. Today, I own a 2002 Triumph America and love it keep the shiney side up

Love it well dun you!

Where is this, Ohio? Noticed burn pit ODNR.

From Washington the PNW has been fun. We ride 2 up, good times.

Are you still doing videos?

Put some boots on Gal

❤

Thanks for walking through all your gear. I’ve never moto camped but I’m hoping too this summer. I like the tent. Ive looked at the Nomad by Able Brown but not sure I want to drop $250 on it. Enjoy the summer.

I had a GB 400

That is an AWESOME spot! Hellz yeah! I'd stay there all summer!
