almost home. did you get to go to the wheels through time motorcycle museum in Maggie valley NC. I did last year. Outstanding
good day! what a slpendid ~ 😈
Congrats on rescuing your pup...and as the proud parent of a Chi-weenie, I'd have to agree that he probably is one. But hang on...I adopted one of my chi-weenies 14 years ago...she was 2...she's hanging in like crazy! Vet expects her to hang another 4 or 5 years. Enjoy!
nice, will follow you home.
Those clean up stations are a good idea.
The woodie was fine...but the Corvair was magnificent! Sorta like that sammich you were munching on! Safe journey home...
Great family, great time, great trip!!!
A me sulla mia a65 faceva la stessa cosa su entrambi i carburatori nuovi della wassel
The country store is in or near Shady Valley, TN. I have stopped there with others on a vintage British bike ride. The Thruxton was probably a lot of fun on the Snake. I have a 2004 Thruxton that I enjoy riding in the Blue Ridge mountains of north Georgia.
That’s one beautiful area to live and enjoy. Thanks Frank for your videos I love to see what you have been up to.
You'd find the 650 Interceptor even easier to ride. The modern Triumph and RE range are great.
So tell me again why you live in Arizona where the average temp is about 120 and there ain't a real tree for miles! :)
Snow.
Make sure you check for ticks tonight and even tomorrow morning. They’re really bad this time of year where you’re at
This surpasses what I had imagined. Amazing place! Have fun🎉❤
Beautiful area…old, laid back southern charm…
Greg’s place is just GORGEOUS!! The peace and tranquillity comes right out of the screen. Up until the guys rock up on their bikes I guess. Have a wonderful safe and fun time. Please give my best to your brothers.
A friend of mine suggested, “let’s get trikes”. I suggested, “let’s not get trikes”. For the same reasons as you Frank!
Beautiful home and area. Very cool Frank, thanks for sharing
Going to have to check Y Tube. My last notification was 5😢
Oh hey, I live in OK (Tulsa) and your road destruction is nothing compared to what has happened to me and other okies in the past. I grew up in So. Calif….some of the roads and streets in OK are little more than cow trails. When I get a motorcycle restored and take it out for a first ride I have a very specific route I’ll go…
You shouldn't was your dirty laundry in public
What map needs OK? Hilarious.
In Kansas they do pronounce it as "Ar-Kansas"
Hey Frank - I can agree that the "backroads" in Texas are a JOY to travel ! A few years ago, a friend and I rode out street bikes from Phoenix, AZ out to the GP race at Circuit of the Americas Raceway in Austin, TX. We took secondary roads all the way, and had a blast !
Lindsay, Texas. I knew I musta had ancestors who ‘went west’! Safe travels my friend!
Every thing is big in Texas! Even funnel clouds. Maybe the carb on your generator needs some special love?
Has it a low oil switch that's playing up. Honda generators are known to have these. Other manufacturers probably do to
Keep us posted on your progress…
I like the 1966 T120R, I have one😊
Drive safely.
My dad bought our 1990 Jeep Cherokee to tow behind his motor home.
Safe travels!
I have to agree with Kevin. I like the 650 engines better than the 750 engines also. The 750 definitely has more torque but the 650 just always seems to be the nicer running engine.
I always liked the disco era bonnies, I hear to wake up the 750's you need to use 650 cams, but for refinement I think the 750's take the cake.
Thats correct, fit T120r cams and it will run as fast as my T120r with 750 kit. See it going fast on my channel. Owned since 1998
He's one very happy test pilot!!!
For an enthusiast I'm sure the repair/renovation cost was worthwhile. For those of us just dreaming about restoring an old vertical twin, would it be possible to give us some idea of how much money was put into this bike?
Sorry but for privacy reasons we just don't discuss the financials of individual bikes. But in general the restoration costs reflect the condition of the bike being considered. Better condition, less to restore. Here is my very personal, very subjective, and probably wrong way of estimating the costs of reviving a bike you might be considering to buy. Look at the bike and a $$ to restore/make safe/make reliable/make fun figure will pop into your head. Then triple that figure. I'm not joking. It always costs a lot more than it seems it should. Frank
I like that bike. I have a 78 T140 that I picked up last year in a partial trade. I hated the bike when I first got it (the clutch was impossibly stiff, it was back firing and popping every time I'd lay off the throttle, and it kept having random no spark issues.... but now that I've gotten the clutch fixed and the bike running nicely, it's really grown on me. Lots of fun to ride. It's very different from my 1964 TR6 650. The 750's aren't super fast, but they entice you to twist the throttle. The 650 is more of a leisurely gentleman's ride. I get much better gas mileage with the 650 because I'm not giving it the beans every time I accelerate from a stop.
Sounds like art with a capital f.
My Triumph TR6 with a hardtail and magneto my 1965 was as reliable as my 1999 Harley Davidson Sportster 883.
You can never get those bikes oil type for any amount of time. Real motorcycles leak oil just not too much.😂
Did they use a metallic spray paint on the covers on that bike? All three covers (primary, timing and gearbox) seem to have a matte finish, which isn't normal. When I saw the timing cover and the triangle patent plate I realized it's probably been painted over. 4:22
Yes. The covers are painted.
Nice rig…great traveling companion…keep her between the lines and have a great time with the guys…
Quite the set-up ! All the comforts of home - except the motorcycle lift..
Have a nice trip!
Looks like a fantastic set-up, mate. Enjoy. Drive carefully.
Nice campsite. Enjoy your well-deserved time away.
Birdsong in the trees sounds beautiful, as it's analogue, not digital. Commandos are mechanical, not electronic. Well done chaps.
Wow! Thank you.
Good to see ya back Kevin
Three Nortons in your garage! I've got three too, and the're all mine! I'm nuts! 😊 BTW... that GP shift pattern is not just a Norton thing...Older BSA, AJS, Matchless, Royal Enfield, Ariel and anything with a Burman transmission used that shift pattern. 😊
One up, three down 😅
I would not worry about the smoke on the green Norton. You guys are not/cannot ride the bike like you should to break the rings and such in. Stop just starting it and idling it, and let the owner really run the bike the way you should for a break in. At least 500 miles.
