Gorgeous looking bike! IMO everything is spot on, the paint colours, exhaust fabrication, upholstery, wheels, noise and the overhaul and small modification of everything else 👏🏻👏🏻 can’t believe it’s been 12 months. Well done Del 💪🏻
Thanks you buddy, that's very kind of you.. im really happy with it, subtle yet still quite an obvious custom bike.. looking forward to getting out for a blast.
Del, it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch you work over the years. You’ve repeatedly shown the results of hard work, skill improvement, and artistry all combine to yield beautiful outcomes. This project is probably the best example of that. A simply stunning bike.
Many thanks indeed Kyle, that's very kind of you to say, we really appreciate such loyal and long term support, I didn't take the bike very far away from a standard trim, just a little alteration to the stance and then a full cosmetic make-over plus, of course, that cheeky wide wheel on the back, just proving that you don't have to be radical to be a really nice custom bike... sometimes less is more aye?!
When you first started this project I thought that I wasn’t going to like it. But as you’ve gone through it all I’ve liked it more and more. And now seeing it in all its glory.... I’m hooked. You’ve done such an amazing job! I love the front end and the wide bars. And the copper accents are awesome. Sounds incredible too! It really is a special bike. Thanks for this amazing series! Ride safe ! Ed
Thank you Ed for your candid and generous appraisal, it's been a fun project with nothing too taxing, and a result im happy with now.. it's often hard to convey you vision in the early stages, and its completely daft standing there saying "what im gonna do, what im gonna do", better to just get on with it and let the results do the talking aye. !
Bloody heck - you've created a truly beautiful bike. I've learnt so much about maintaining my own T100 from you. Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS on another masterpiece!
By Jove Del you transformed that bike. Stunning job mate...simply stunning. A bike anyone would covet. A credit to your many engineering talents. Can't wait for your next project.
Absolutely Mint. Beautiful Project. It’s been like watching a professional robotic Haynes manual. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and share. Maggie and Mack, Huddersfield
Fantastic! What an amazing restoration, Del. I could almost smell the exhaust when you fired her up. It's been a pleasure to watch the detail that you've gone into with this restoration. Guys like you that go into the kind of attention to detail are a dying breed!
Thank you Aditya for those wonderful words... I greatly enjoyed this project, it's not quite finished yet, it needs to pass it's MOT test sometime this week, then need to get it out for a ride in the sunshine, because every project I've done always finishes with the grand final ride and a walk round at the church!... so that should be next weekend and then it'll be on to something else for a fresh project!
Very Nice! Sounds good, and started correctly. I love it when I get a bike together and it starts right up with no leaks and minimal smoke. I have enjoyed watching you rebuild this bike and appreciate all the important information and OCD you bring to every task. Thanks!
Thanks mate, i was really happy with how it fired straight up and ran smooth.. it's a very low mileage engine, so should be a great bike for it's next owner.
Del, what an a privilege it has been watching you create this masterpiece! The hairs on my neck stood on end when you fired her up that first time! I always have loved how a nice triple sounds, but this was so unexpected! Everything you have done has made this Legend truly a masterpiece! I think I might just go and watch everything from the start. Well done and thanks for taking us on this journey!
Wow, thank you so much David, for those generous words Sir, this build has been such a pleasure, like babysitting a well behaved child, no real major issues and my first attempt at making my own exhaust, I was a little surprised myself when it fired up almost instantly, blew out all the weld dust, and just purred!... gonna get it out in the sunshine for a blast around the lanes just as soon as the rain stops, can't wait to see what it sounds like at the red line... and, of course, we'll take the cameras along so you can join us for that final ride!
Absolutely stunning. Watched you rebuild this, amazing, and than thank you for answering my questions, it has helped me a lot with my project. Can't wait for your report on the start-up and running
Hi Del, its not just they way that you have involved us in your build but the way you have videoed the whole build with each episode so clear with what you are doing and how you did it. I've really enjoyed watching and learning from your work. Well done mate. Much appreciated.
This project and final video are immense. Credit to your skills and perseverance - you've brought a good bike back to life, now an amazing machine. Bravo mate
Thanks a ton Gareth, that's so kind of you... it's been a fun project and am really looking forward to getting it out on the road... video next Friday!
That was an excellent job and a great series of videos. The end result is a lovely looking and sounding bike. The changes were both tasteful and sensible which means they were improvements. Now you can show us how she rides.
Thank you Trevor, I agree, we didn't want a radical custom bike, just a nice resto-mod and something that many people will appreciate as a nice example of the bike, MOT test next week, then out for a blast in the country lanes, and of course we'll take you with us (just as soon as the rain stops!).
One year.... watched every week and this feels so damn good. Can’t imagine the fulfillment you get out of it! Thank you for all the lessons and laughter! She looks awesome and sounds even better. Looking forward to last tweaking, the test drive and the next project!
Thank you Sir, and yes indeed, it will have an MOT this week, as soon as the weather breaks, raining hard right now, but then out for the grand ride in the sunshine and a blast around the lanes! Lots of noisy fly pasts in time honoured fashion!
Del it’s been a privilege to watch you work over the last year to create this masterpiece of a motorbike sounds fantastic as well.I would like to thank you and Penny for all the video footage from start to finish and the success in your move . All the best Tony
Hey Tony. Thank you so much for such kind and loyal support, we really appreciate your feedback, and so glad you've enjoyed the build. The bike still has a few tiny snagging jobs to finish, and a ride out in the sunshine too of course, then sadly it'll be up for sale and then off to source the next donor bike for another build.. who knows what at this pointy, but maybe something interim with an old favourite to keep the videos rolling and give us time to think and plan the next big one.. Take care and have a great Sunday.. D&Pxx
Hi Del'n'Pen. Geezzo, Del. You've pulled it out the hat as if by magic. What a machine and no stone left un-turned. That! bike is stunning but 'you knew that' and I bet it's even better in the flesh as we can't get the full effect of the paint through the TV. Which by the way, the finish is fantastic. As ever Penny's and your editing and presenting skills are spot on. Next!
Thank you so much kind Sir 👍, this has been a glorious project that feels like it's come to end all too quickly, I guess time flies and all that!... So next week, once we've got the MOT, we'll get it out for a blast in the countryside and let it stretch it's legs!... Can't wait to get out for a play... Take care and thank you for your wonderful support, D&Px
I've to say I have discovered your channel two weeks ago, now it's my everyday in the morning watching, I've got my first English bike and very first bike since I moved in to England, a Triumph t509 from '97, now she needs loads of love, so let's dig in and apply everything I'm learning!
Welcome aboard Javier, thank you for your support, and it must have been a big change to move to live in England, so Welcome and i hope you have lots of fun with your bike.. Take care and keep in touch.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Indeed, it's been a huge change, although here in the south the weather is not too bad (it's pouring right now though... hahaha) Thank you Del! hopefully I'll see you on the road! Cheers and keep smashing it with those stunning videos!
I've followed this project since the beginning, watched every video and seen every stage of the build (like all the other projects) Your attention to detail and methodical working is excellent! But you knew that didn't you? She sounds as good as she looks Del you should be so proud of yourself Take care and ride safe! SR
Thanks mate, that is really kind of you, not just your generous kind words, but also your support of following and watching every video, couldn't ask for better and more encouraging viewers! Take care and ride safe, D&Px
All the blood, sweat and tears were worth it. What a fantastic result! Thanks for taking us on this journey, and for all that I learned along the way. You know that old saying, “Those that can do, those that can’t teach.” Well you’re one of the rare individuals that does both. Cheers mate!
WOW, thank you my friend, that is very generous of you, I feel passionate about keeping old bikes on the road, and sharing a little knowledge, because it's something wonderful we can all do! ... and as I'm sure you'll agree, we always do best at what we enjoy!
I had to watch it twice! Awesome job, congratulations Del. Last week I saw a photo of Steve McQueen on a 1967 Triumph Bonneville 650 with white fenders and a white / sky blue tank. I had to smile since I had seen your reveal paint color a couple days before. Steve would have approved and would want to have taken yours for a ride. Take care, ride safe.
What a moment to fire it up. All that work and hear the fruition of your labour. Looks great, sounds gtreat. I bet the joy in your cup flowed over. Your best build by far. The bar has been set! Looking forward to the next one now. Well done indded. Now the ride, and will you really want to sell it. That will be the hardest part of the build im sure.
Thanks Paul, it was a very special moment when it fired in less than two full revolutions, blew the weld dust out and purred right away.. im sure the coils played a part in that as it wasn't that settled when i first got it home.. MOT next week, ten a ride in the sunshine when the rain stops.. and no, i don't really want to sell it, but it's the only route to a better build next time, it most certainly will be the hardest part for sure. !
Stealership prices - expensive, peace of mind - priceless! The bike looks and sounds awesome mate - you've done an amazing job - thank you as always for sharing!
Looks and sounds mint mate!!! Great finished result after all your work. That will be like a new bike to whoever you sell it too after youve tested it over a month or so.👍
Sure thing mate, you're exactly right, after MOT it will need some shakedowns, iron out any niggles, and little snagging jobs, and hopefully enjoy a few cheeky rides myself before it finds a new home!
Hi Del, you have truly built a really tidy bike mate 👍🏻 it sounds as good as it looks, and I bet it’ll ride the same, top job ya bike wizard 🧙🏾♂️ 👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks Alan 👍, think we had a lot of luck with this one, the set backs were few and with such a fresh engine, and so few miles, it's all set for a new life on the road!
Well done on an excellent series and restore, love what you have done with this one. I ummed and arrrrred over one of these these but they just looked a little not quite to my liking, you have made a good looking bike look awesome. Well done and thanks for sharing the journey. So much of this has been relevant to my own winter refresh of my 2004 speed triple 955i.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it, and i know what you mean, the TBS is a nice looking bike, the Legend and Adventurer are pretty marmite for most people. and it;s in that i tried to base the project.. to bring the looks up to date, and with a 17k mile engine, i know its sound for a long life too.
Absolute pleasure watching this build everything to detail you should be proud of yourself turning a wonderful bike into an amazing bike 👍can’t wait to see it out on the road 👍
Thank you Gav, really appreciate your kind words, looking forward to a ride on it this week, and ironing out any last little jobs, and naturally we'll take you along for the ride! (just waiting for the rain to stop!).
I've often admired your skills while not always fully appreciating the styling of the finished project. But that is an absolute beauty Del. Well done indeed 👏
Thanks Mike for your kind words, we just need time to 're-group' a little, re-charge the batteries before we get in to the next one, but we have interim plan, but still have the Triumph ride out to come yet!
Brilliant job. Seriously one of the best. A before and after would be cool to include once you do your first ride out... although maybe hold on the ride out until the rain stops. Would be a shame to mess up the paint.
Just caught up Del - got to say the end result is stunning well done my boy! The sound is unmistakable truimph all the more enhanced with the pipe you have fitted. The colour scheme sets it off and suits the bike no end - a pleasure to watch it come together 👍
Thanks so much Richard, glad you enjoyed it, and i have to admit i am rather proud of the result on this one.. can;t wait for a ride in the sunshine later in the week.
You’ve done a great job! All my respect! I’ve learned a lot. Looking forward for more!!! Really inspiring what you do and how it’s explained, straight forward and why you do it this way instead in another. More than a masterpiece. Congrats mate!!!!
Hi Del has been a fantastic journey with you and Penny. The bike is simply stunning looking forward to your next project Would like to see you build your own bike like a bobber but I know it comes down to money . As for me it as been a pleasure watching you mate for the last year
Sure thing Dean, thanks for those kind words.. and i would like to take on something more adventurous next time.. but that means a bigger budget, and ill have to sell this one first.. so maybe a short interim project on an old favourite for now, then it'll give me time to work out the right path next.. Bobbers are everywhere now, i built a willow green Harley Fatboy Bobber 20 years ago, (the one on the channel header) they're even out there as a kit with ready made frames and parts..so it's not really me now, just like building yet another hipster/brat/cafe/boxxer beemer thingy with bench seat and pastel paint... very nice.. but very common and unoriginal... i must push out into unfashionable new directions, or i won't remain interested.. got to keep that sense of the hooligan (like dropping a Rover V8 into a Mk3 Cortina)... that's real fun street custom stuff... So maybe a Tiger 1200 motor in a Thruxton... Not saying ill do that, again it all depends on being able to fund the bikes and the parts... but along those lines at least mate, the worlds already full of hipster bobbers. Take care and have a great weekend buddy.. D&Pxx
What an awesome sound and fantastic finished product, so enjoyed the “journey” during this build, its been an absolute pleasure, well done on a brilliant job...
Thanks Jeff, I have to admit, I couldn't believe that myself, you saw the puff of welding dust out of the exhaust, so that genuinely was the first fire up in a year and it didn't even turn over two full revolutions, great to know I got everything right!
Cheers Kristof, you won't have long to wait, we should be able to get out in the sunshine for a ride by next weekend and bring you the video for Friday!
Will do mate, looking forward to getting it out for a ride first then perhaps a something little interim to keep us busy whilst we think of what's next!
C'est toujours émouvant de voir ce parfait équilibre entre la force et la délicatesse. Merci Del... combien de tigres dans l'échappement? Ca c'est du SON!!!
Cierpliwie oglądałem metamorfozę Triumpha, efekt końcowy bardzo, bardzo mi się podoba. Zburzyłeś mi spokój ducha i teraz tak spoglądam na mego Thunderbirda z myślą - czas na zmiany! Dzięki za inspirację. : ) A na ścianie tablica rejestracyjna z Włocławka CW 00492. Pozdrawiam.
Ooh, that troika sounds amazing!! Thanks for this series-I enjoyed every second of the process. I’ll be along for whatever’s next, count on that. Cheers!
Cheers mate, got the MOT and a final ride next week, really looking forward to checking out the new handling with the different running gear, have a great weekend yourself!
What a great way to start off my morning hearing her start after a long year was absolutely music 🎶 to my hears great job Del for making such great content and your dedication with alot of hard work cheers 🍻 my friend
Brilliant work. I've followed this from about half way and have been captivated by your attention to detail. Waiting with baited breath for the next project.
Awesome, thank you Jon, appreciate your support through the project, I want to take on a more adventurous build the future, we'll need all the funding, we'll have to sell this bike to pay for it, but it will be worth it.. isn't ready for sale yet, and I'll have to find the right buyer to realise it's true value, so in the meantime am planning a fun little interim project, just to keep it boiling and keep me focused!
I get the point about the fuel hose but typical triumph using a special part!!! Worth waiting for mate. I had this on speakers!!! Awesome. Just plain bloody awesome!! Congrats. These specials are just getting better and better.
Thanks Phil, very kind words, the sound is pretty addictive so once I get the MOT next week, we'll take it out for a blast and disturb the peace in the countryside a little and, of course, we'll take the cameras along so you can join us!
What an ordeal, having to start all over again. For a fuel hose. But I see your point, Del, and completely agree. It would nag me, too. But that sound! It's not only a triple Triumph, but has an Italian wail on top of it. Like an old MV. A delicate symphony instead of one-dimensional noise. Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job and peace of mind with that new fuel hose. It's a great transformation, job well done mate. A very sweet looking ride, hope things are still on the up over your side of the pond. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend. Cheers
Thanks mate.. it's only just stopped raining and started to brighten up, so at last we may be able to get the bike out for MOT test and a ride in the lanes this week.. can;t wait to stretch it's legs and see how the new riding position feels. enjoy your weekend too, and keep safe. D&Pxx
Excellent job Del. Time to celebrate :) Been a pleasure watching all your videos. There's a lot one can learn from your projects. I was hoping to see an episode on carb balancing, but it doesn't sound like this beauty needs any. Seems to idle fine, isn't it? Well done!! and looking forward to hearing about the next project.
Many thanks mate, and you're right, 9 times out of 10 carbs don't need re-balancing, and of course remember, if like this bike, they're running sweet and smooth, then DON'T TOUCH THEM because clearly they're correct and any minute adjustment you make will only throw the balancing out, it is the most appropriate application of the old cliche 'that if the cart ain't broke, don't fix it'...!
That's the plan, just not round town though, I think this needs to be howling round the country lanes!, which it will be next weekend, as long as it's passes it's MOT in the week...
Glad you like it, we have a little while before we can do another big project, a few loose ends to tie up with this one and then it's got to be sold, but something fun and interim coming up soon for sure!
Better restoration you can't find anywhere! So much awareness for tiny details, for any spot, so much effort and results are amazing! Can't wait to follow next project :D
Wow, thank you Richard, having taken my first step in to manufacturing pipes for the first time, I was relieved when it fired up, even though it blew a pound of welding dust out the back lol ...it gives me great confidence to make a custom exhaust a part of the next project to come!

Wow, thanks so much for those very kind words Sir, im glad you have enjoyed the build and the channel..
I have loved this build and this episode does NOT disappoint in any way. Sounds like a beast. That exhaust is killer!!!
Cheers Scott, we'll get it out for a blast in the lanes by next weekend, so hopefully you'll enjoy that video even more!
By Jove Del you transformed that bike. Stunning job mate...simply stunning. A bike anyone would covet. A credit to your many engineering talents. Can't wait for your next project.
Thank you Bob, just for using the term "By Jove" alone, you are gentleman indeed... Thank you for such kind praise Sir .

My word, thank you so much for your kind comments!
Nice job, subtle modernisation of an old bike.
Beautiful bike mate! you're truly an artist! What's next? Can't wait!!
Thanks a lot Sir, gonna take a little bit of time after the final ride next week, perhaps do something interim whilst we think of the next direction!
Its all been said. Gorgeous sound. Can we hear that blasting past ? Beautiful bike.
Thank you Sir, and yes indeed, it will have an MOT this week, as soon as the weather breaks, raining hard right now, but then out for the grand ride in the sunshine and a blast around the lanes! Lots of noisy fly pasts in time honoured fashion!

Than you kindly Sir!

Thank you so much for such kind words Tom. ✌️
Stealership prices - expensive, peace of mind - priceless! The bike looks and sounds awesome mate - you've done an amazing job - thank you as always for sharing!
Thank you Mike, I couldn't agree more, peace of mind comes at a price, and there's no getting away with how satisfying it is when everything works!
Looks and sounds mint mate!!! Great finished result after all your work. That will be like a new bike to whoever you sell it too after youve tested it over a month or so.👍
Sure thing mate, you're exactly right, after MOT it will need some shakedowns, iron out any niggles, and little snagging jobs, and hopefully enjoy a few cheeky rides myself before it finds a new home!
Magnifique le bruit la sonorité et la même que la mienne très beau travail
That's a Bike That Has Miles of Smiles In It, Now I'm Looking For a 3 Into 1 Pipe For Mine. Out Standing Job Brother!
Cheers Mark, there is nothing like the sweet sound of a triple!
Awesome! A proper culmination of a year's work. Spot on Del and Penny - congrats!
Thank you kindly John, it's been a fun year and we can't get out for it's final ride!
Superb Del - it looks absolutely beautiful. It's been a most interesting project to follow. Thanks!
Our pleasure mate, we're so glad you've enjoyed the journey with us... MOT and a ride in the sun next week!
Hi Del, you have truly built a really tidy bike mate 👍🏻 it sounds as good as it looks, and I bet it’ll ride the same, top job ya bike wizard 🧙🏾♂️ 👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks Alan 👍, think we had a lot of luck with this one, the set backs were few and with such a fresh engine, and so few miles, it's all set for a new life on the road!
Absolutely stunning motorcycle Brother. You made a fantastic job. As always. Perfection. 💪👍😎
Thank you Philip, really appreciate that, I have to admit to being quite proud of the outcome!
That’s one mighty fine bike,you should be proud mate❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Gerry, I can admit to a little satisfaction with the results now.
Congratulations Del. Great job. I’ve been with you every step of the way. Very impressive it looks and sounds awesome.
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated!
Well done on an excellent series and restore, love what you have done with this one. I ummed and arrrrred over one of these these but they just looked a little not quite to my liking, you have made a good looking bike look awesome. Well done and thanks for sharing the journey. So much of this has been relevant to my own winter refresh of my 2004 speed triple 955i.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it, and i know what you mean, the TBS is a nice looking bike, the Legend and Adventurer are pretty marmite for most people. and it;s in that i tried to base the project.. to bring the looks up to date, and with a 17k mile engine, i know its sound for a long life too.
Absolute pleasure watching this build everything to detail you should be proud of yourself turning a wonderful bike into an amazing bike 👍can’t wait to see it out on the road 👍
Thank you Gav, really appreciate your kind words, looking forward to a ride on it this week, and ironing out any last little jobs, and naturally we'll take you along for the ride! (just waiting for the rain to stop!).
Can’t wait to see it on the road hopefully it will be a nice holiday weekend 👍
I've often admired your skills while not always fully appreciating the styling of the finished project. But that is an absolute beauty Del. Well done indeed 👏
Thanks Paul, really appreciate the feedback mate.
Smashing bike and workmanship. Its been a real pleasure watching the project!
Great job. Very well done. Loved it. Beautiful bike. Take a well deserved break and get ready for your next project.
Thanks Mike for your kind words, we just need time to 're-group' a little, re-charge the batteries before we get in to the next one, but we have interim plan, but still have the Triumph ride out to come yet!
Cheers what a stunning result... the best ever rolling out of your - meanwhile not so little garage anymore. LOL. Cheers, Ruud
Thanks Ruud👍 glad you enjoyed it !
Looks and sounds a million dollars.
Thank you so much for taking us along for the journey!
It's been a pleasure Gary, we're so glad to here you've enjoyed the journey with us!
Shout out to all the Distinguished Gentleman riders for tomorrow. Great people and beautiful machines supporting a worthy cause.
A worthy cause indeed.. Thank you for the headsup.
Brilliant job. Seriously one of the best.
A before and after would be cool to include once you do your first ride out... although maybe hold on the ride out until the rain stops. Would be a shame to mess up the paint.
Ride out video will be on Friday, it'll be dry and sunny by then, and yes ill show before and after..
Sounds great Del. I just changed my Electra glide to a triumph tiger 1200 explorer, what a bike, always wanted to own a triumph.
Blimey, Sounds great, thats a big change in style, ive had a 1200 explorer and they're awesome.. Have fun with it and take care.. Del.
Just caught up Del - got to say the end result is stunning well done my boy! The sound is unmistakable truimph all the more enhanced with the pipe you have fitted. The colour scheme sets it off and suits the bike no end - a pleasure to watch it come together 👍
Thanks so much Richard, glad you enjoyed it, and i have to admit i am rather proud of the result on this one.. can;t wait for a ride in the sunshine later in the week.
I bet fingers crossed weather looks like it could improve. Look forward to the video Del.
You’ve done a great job! All my respect! I’ve learned a lot. Looking forward for more!!! Really inspiring what you do and how it’s explained, straight forward and why you do it this way instead in another. More than a masterpiece. Congrats mate!!!!
Thank you so much mate for those kind words, really enjoying bringing this project to a conclusion!
Hi Del has been a fantastic journey with you and Penny. The bike is simply stunning looking forward to your next project Would like to see you build your own bike like a bobber but I know it comes down to money . As for me it as been a pleasure watching you mate for the last year
Sure thing Dean, thanks for those kind words.. and i would like to take on something more adventurous next time.. but that means a bigger budget, and ill have to sell this one first.. so maybe a short interim project on an old favourite for now, then it'll give me time to work out the right path next.. Bobbers are everywhere now, i built a willow green Harley Fatboy Bobber 20 years ago, (the one on the channel header) they're even out there as a kit with ready made frames and parts..so it's not really me now, just like building yet another hipster/brat/cafe/boxxer beemer thingy with bench seat and pastel paint... very nice.. but very common and unoriginal... i must push out into unfashionable new directions, or i won't remain interested.. got to keep that sense of the hooligan (like dropping a Rover V8 into a Mk3 Cortina)... that's real fun street custom stuff... So maybe a Tiger 1200 motor in a Thruxton... Not saying ill do that, again it all depends on being able to fund the bikes and the parts... but along those lines at least mate, the worlds already full of hipster bobbers. Take care and have a great weekend buddy.. D&Pxx
SOUNDS AMAZING...LOOKS AMAZING!!...Be proud of this one Del!
Thanks mate, i will do.
Congratulations!!! Very nice! I hope you enjoy the first ride! Been a long build but bike looks better than new!
Thanks mate, Will do!
Hats off! The color and geometry changes make it look way more modern.
Cheers James, am glad you think so!
Damnit man, now i need to find one of those! Looks stunning mate. Congrats on a job well done!
Go for it, you won't regret a moment of the input on the day you ride it down the road!
Thanks, i have and Adventurer 900 since 2001. A pleasure to see the process
Wow sounds and looks amazing you've done an awesome job on the bike well worth the wait, I bet your well pleased with the end result.
Thanks Terry 👍, I am indeed mate, proper chuffed indeed!
She lives!
Great project. Looking forward to the shake down ride.
You and me both, thanks for watching!
What an awesome sound and fantastic finished product, so enjoyed the “journey” during this build, its been an absolute pleasure, well done on a brilliant job...
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it
@@Moonfleet41 First dibs when you come to sell :)
Magnificent! Not the slightest hesitation in starting. And the sound, wow.
Thanks Jeff, I have to admit, I couldn't believe that myself, you saw the puff of welding dust out of the exhaust, so that genuinely was the first fire up in a year and it didn't even turn over two full revolutions, great to know I got everything right!
Looks and sounds better than the day it rolled off the production line. Incredible effort.
Thanks Tom, happy with the results.
Watched this whole build and learned so much.. many thanks 👊👍 and you have a crackin bike there.
Thanks mate, ill have it out for a blast in the lanes next week, give it some wellie and see what happens. !
That was yet another most gratifying start to my weekend. What a marvellous piece!!!! Awesome sound, can't wait for the road video mate. Superb!
Cheers Kristof, you won't have long to wait, we should be able to get out in the sunshine for a ride by next weekend and bring you the video for Friday!
Congratulations to a bike not everyone has but everyone will admire 👍🏍💪
Top job 👍in fact outstanding.
Safe rides 🏍🙏
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did!
Hi Del, she sounds sweet, take a moment to enjoy what you have created. I wonder what the next project might be. :)
Will do mate, looking forward to getting it out for a ride first then perhaps a something little interim to keep us busy whilst we think of what's next!
C'est toujours émouvant de voir ce parfait équilibre entre la force et la délicatesse. Merci Del... combien de tigres dans l'échappement? Ca c'est du SON!!!
Amazing Del. She looks and sounds awesome. Good job buddy. Hats off to you mate. 😎👍🏍
Thanks mate.👍 glad you enjoyed it.
Outstanding! She sounds and looks fantastic! Way to go! 🤩
Thanks so much!
Cierpliwie oglądałem metamorfozę Triumpha, efekt końcowy bardzo, bardzo mi się podoba. Zburzyłeś mi spokój ducha i teraz tak spoglądam na mego Thunderbirda z myślą - czas na zmiany! Dzięki za inspirację. : )
A na ścianie tablica rejestracyjna z Włocławka CW 00492. Pozdrawiam.
Thank you for your kind words Pawel.
Just so dang awesome, Del! Wow! This is one of THE nicest restomods ever.
🏍👍🏍
Thank you Gary, that's so kind, just a few snagging jobs to fix and it'll be out ont he road for a blast round the bendy lanes!
@@Moonfleet41 A fantastic thing to which to look forward! Enjoy your Sunday there, both of you. 😎
Ooh, that troika sounds amazing!! Thanks for this series-I enjoyed every second of the process. I’ll be along for whatever’s next, count on that. Cheers!
Thank you Sir, appreciate your support!
Great job on this beautiful bike...enjoy riding it matey😁
Thanks mate, i will do for sure.
Great video looks and sounds fantastic enjoyed every bit of the journey what a finish del stay safe both of you 🇬🇧👍
Cheers mate, got the MOT and a final ride next week, really looking forward to checking out the new handling with the different running gear, have a great weekend yourself!
What a great way to start off my morning hearing her start after a long year was absolutely music 🎶 to my hears great job Del for making such great content and your dedication with alot of hard work cheers 🍻 my friend
WOW, glad you enjoyed it... and thank you so much for your kind support!
Brilliant work. I've followed this from about half way and have been captivated by your attention to detail. Waiting with baited breath for the next project.
Haha....You and me both buddy, can’t wait 😊
Awesome, thank you Jon, appreciate your support through the project, I want to take on a more adventurous build the future, we'll need all the funding, we'll have to sell this bike to pay for it, but it will be worth it.. isn't ready for sale yet, and I'll have to find the right buyer to realise it's true value, so in the meantime am planning a fun little interim project, just to keep it boiling and keep me focused!
Wonderful series all the way through the restoration, cant wait for the next project!
Thank you very much Mark, we're glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely bloody awesome Del
Well done mate really happy for you to finally have her finished.
Enjoy the ride
Sounds great.
Nick Australia
Thanks so much Nick 👍 Glad you enjoyed it mate, and really appreciate your feedback. !
Honestly...! That bike looks and sounds... mint!
Thanks John, much appreciated!
I get the point about the fuel hose but typical triumph using a special part!!! Worth waiting for mate. I had this on speakers!!! Awesome. Just plain bloody awesome!! Congrats. These specials are just getting better and better.
Thanks Phil, very kind words, the sound is pretty addictive so once I get the MOT next week, we'll take it out for a blast and disturb the peace in the countryside a little and, of course, we'll take the cameras along so you can join us!
Really does look stunning Del you have done a fantastic job there buddy. Hope you and pp have a fantastic weekend
Thanks, you too mate! It's been a fun project, got to get out for a ride next week and underline the project.
She lives! Great job looks and sounds fantastic. Can’t wait for the ride out video.👍
Thanks buddy, Coming soon!
What an ordeal, having to start all over again. For a fuel hose. But I see your point, Del, and completely agree. It would nag me, too.
But that sound! It's not only a triple Triumph, but has an Italian wail on top of it. Like an old MV. A delicate symphony instead of one-dimensional noise.
Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Yes indeed Günter, not unlike a Laverda Jota aye ?
@@Moonfleet41 Jep!
Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job and peace of mind with that new fuel hose. It's a great transformation, job well done mate. A very sweet looking ride, hope things are still on the up over your side of the pond. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend. Cheers
Thanks mate.. it's only just stopped raining and started to brighten up, so at last we may be able to get the bike out for MOT test and a ride in the lanes this week.. can;t wait to stretch it's legs and see how the new riding position feels. enjoy your weekend too, and keep safe. D&Pxx
Stunning. Baffles out!! Great sound ! Well done sir as always
Many thanks mate!
A lot of work for that little pipe but well worth it, you'll sleep better tonight. Looks fantastic and sounds amazing. Nice work Del 👍
Exactly that mate, peace of mind is priceless, thanks for watching!
@@Moonfleet41 my pleasure
Absolutely love this bike, looks and sounds fantastic a great conversion and build. I think it's the best one so far. Well done Del, mega.
Cheers Andy, you're too kind mate, can't wait to get out for a ride on it!
Excellent job Del. Time to celebrate :)
Been a pleasure watching all your videos. There's a lot one can learn from your projects.
I was hoping to see an episode on carb balancing, but it doesn't sound like this beauty needs any. Seems to idle fine, isn't it?
Well done!! and looking forward to hearing about the next project.
Many thanks mate, and you're right, 9 times out of 10 carbs don't need re-balancing, and of course remember, if like this bike, they're running sweet and smooth, then DON'T TOUCH THEM because clearly they're correct and any minute adjustment you make will only throw the balancing out, it is the most appropriate application of the old cliche 'that if the cart ain't broke, don't fix it'...!
That just made my morning. 😎 Congrats on getting her fired up! That will definitely turn some heads as you roll around town.
That's the plan, just not round town though, I think this needs to be howling round the country lanes!, which it will be next weekend, as long as it's passes it's MOT in the week...
Beautiful machine! Best project ever on this channel! Can't wait for the next one!
Glad you like it, we have a little while before we can do another big project, a few loose ends to tie up with this one and then it's got to be sold, but something fun and interim coming up soon for sure!
Awsome Del!!! Let there be rock!!!! Congratulations! Don't even know what to say!!!
Thank you mate, you said it all with those fine words, much appreciated!
Better restoration you can't find anywhere! So much awareness for tiny details, for any spot, so much effort and results are amazing! Can't wait to follow next project :D
Thank you very much for those kind words. !
That’s the music I like .....mechanical symphony by Triumph and conducted by the esteemed Del !
Why thank you kindly Sir!
Looks and sounds great! But after standing for a year the most important to check at the first start is the oil pressure lamp going off ;)
Went out immediately.!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This series has been an absolute blast to watch.
Well done and I look forward to the first ride vid.
Ride safe 👍
Thanks mate, it's been a great fun project, we can't wait to get out for a blast this week!
Sounds sweet with or without the baffle that exhaust just awesome👍👍
Wow, thank you Richard, having taken my first step in to manufacturing pipes for the first time, I was relieved when it fired up, even though it blew a pound of welding dust out the back lol ...it gives me great confidence to make a custom exhaust a part of the next project to come!
