My girlfriend, kids and I went to a vintage motocross race in 1992 in Hollister, Ca. Dick Mann and Kay Mann let us take a picture of them. He was a great champion and man..
I grew up with British bikes and bikes like this help me relive my youth. There is something about a British vertical twin that modern bikes can't offer. The low reving pushrod torque motors of yesteryear led to where we are today. Can't stop drooling over Triumph's right side crankcase covers, best looking in all of motorcycling!😁
What you are imparting here on your channel is no dog and pony show. Every week you are serving up meat and potatoes! . It’s obvious the love love that was poured into the construction of this fetching machine. A testament to Dick. Thank you this is such a great series.
I agree with you on front fender mounting. My DBD Goldie scrambler, Matchess Matisse and Triumph 500 Matisse wor their fenders on the forks although the Matisse set up was via two jubilee clips holding the fender. You put out nice videos with interesting bikes that prompt my memories from years ago
Absolutely loved the Mikuni comment! Glad you mentioned the footpeg arrangement. I noticed it right away, and have never seen that method before. Years ago, I rode my bud's Norton with that shift pattern. Was going into 4th, and banged it into 2nd. Luckily not going tooooo fast.
Great vid👍 my uncle has a lot of mint conditioned motorcycle classics, Indian, four HD's, and some in the scrambler categorie, Triumph Trophy, Matcless G80CS, BSA Gold Star, he has owned them for many many years. Cheers from me in Norway
Thanks for this video. I raced motocross in the early 90s and have had bikes as old as a 74 but don't know much about the bikes before that. It's nice to learn more about the early bikes built for motocross.
Really appreciate you watching Brian and so glad that you picked up a few pieces of info. That’s my goal with this series is to entertain and also share all the cool things I’ve learned and continue to discover about these amazing machines.
Mated to that BSA gearbox is a primary transmission case from the same company. Probably so chosen to accept the size of the BSA clutch assembly. Fine looking machine.
Metisse is the feminin of métis, un mix of black and white people, the word cames from the name of a high quality cloth made with cotton and linen, mostly used for bed sheets and shirts. Mongrel in french is "bâtard"; and the term may be pretty pejorative, rather used for dogs and people you do not like or despise.

Dick Mann , really knew how to build a Bike, What hell of a bike, a real one off, a cool bike to ride, Thank for showing it Bill KIWI
That brake lever style is on my DMS TT500 mk4. The last frame he designed

Thank you this is such a great series.
Your support is very appreciated! Thank you for the kind words. It does take a lot to put these together but it's a labor of love!
Great presentation..
Really appreciate that!
I saw him at Glen Helen back in 1990 and he was racing one of those
Nice!
Excuse typo: Matisse. Arthritis that now impedes my throttle hand.

Haha! Thanks for following along every week!

Sounds like a great collection! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Thanks for the input David!
Love it …one one ?😢
ever seen the BSA tripple poster with a lovely lady laying on the bike....... Mrs Mann ❤
😍
Drop-dead looking and sounding bike. I still prefer the old conjunction name for BSA/Triumph mixes, though: Beezumph.
Haha!
Metisse is correct spelling chosen because it’s French for mongrel.
Metisse is the feminin of métis, un mix of black and white people, the word cames from the name of a high quality cloth made with cotton and linen, mostly used for bed sheets and shirts.
Mongrel in french is "bâtard"; and the term may be pretty pejorative, rather used for dogs and people you do not like or despise.
No Mikuni! Nice! I like to throw em' as far as can!
Right in the trash😆
What are y’all’s thoughts about the Lectrons then?
Color I say is plum ?
I’ll buy that
looks like a a7 shooting star frame
A7 and A10 frames are basically the same as far as I know.👍
He made a frame that was so good Harley Davidson had it banned. HD at the time controled the AMA.
Crazy!
I sure enjoy my 1976 DMR #1 Trackmaster Yamaha 750.
Nice!
