Enjoying your channel from Memphis, Tennessee. I have a neglected ‘76 T140V that I intend to build into a Scrambler. The subframe is rusted through so there’s the first challenge. Keep posting and good luck.
Hi, reading your post seven months later , have you made any progress with your bike ? Best wishes from England .
Trump is sounding mint - still a great video mate, watching it from Adelaide, good luck next week!!
Cheers mate appreciate it! I've got relatives out in adelaide! I will need all the luck I can get!
@@ColemanCustoms It's a very real, humble channel, and the down's are often as valid as the up's, either way it's extremely watchable, thanks again.
Thankyou mate I really appreciate it always glad to hear feedback too. Can't have the up without the down!
These things happen with old bikes! No need to apologize mate! I've been struggling with my '79 SR500 for years (worn piston, then a seized (new) piston at 100 kph and now a completely new ignition) and now it's finally looking like a reliable bike. Part of the joy of an old bike ;)
Indeed they do, well they happen with all bikes at some point! Lovely bike the sr500. Glad you're getting it to a stage where it can be depended on, going through it all really makes the difference!
Just asking on your SR lump are you running a oil line up to the rocker arm and rocker pins, if you're may I suggest you do. You improve the flow more than relying on the old oil feed that runs to the rear of the cylinder. Only saying as Irun a SR (bored 540) lump in my HL500 and I haven't had any oil over heating problems, some folks run an oil cooler but that just more weight. Sham about your ignition going they're normally fairly good, hope you get it sorted.
@@kevfinn8232 yeah, I’ve run that since I’ve had the bike, but a good tip! The SR has a CDI ignition which can go bad after 40 years, the real problem is that the first year models (78 and 79) have specific combinations of stator, rotor and CDI :’)
They are old but bloody lovely doof doof all day I love em good luck with the bike.
You can't blame yourself for a valve failure. Still an enjoyable video, keep em coming!..
Cheers mate, rotten luck! Glad you enjoyed it still!
I’d look at what you achieved, you got there you learned a lot. Sometimes things don’t go right no matter what you do or try. These are frustrating but they teach a huge amount when the heat and annoyance fades. There’s a road I really don’t like to drive on my sidecar, always find a sequence of bends is spoiled, until the day I was thinking of my passenger and went through the section so well it was an epiphany.
Wise words mate! If anything they teach us to progress and be resilient! Sometimes it takes for the mind to wander or look elsewhere before we have our moment.
Yeah..no need to apologize...your vids are great ..and the Triumph...is a...triumph..!
got loads of ideas from you for my build project thanks.
Thanks mate appreciate it! If its only a cable to worry about then I'm doing okay! Just wish it could have held out that day! Glad to hear it, enjoy your build!
Ive been waiting for this video! commented before watching lol
Thanks for the support mate! I hope it was enjoyable even with the lack of racing!
Don't apologize mate, I really enjoyed the video. You have a great bike, sometimes things just go against you. Best of luck for the Bike Shed Scramble. Dean in Oxfordshire.
Cheers mate! Glad you still enjoyed it, bad luck! Unfortunately that luck continued through to the scramble..
Nice video which I enjoyed watching. Looking forward to more like these.. I want to get in to the classic scramble scene as well. many thanks.
awesome video, mile looks great, cant wait to watch next week
Thanks mate! It's a great event! Appreciate it 🙏
Well done for getting on with it ,Its all fun at the end of the day,
Cheers mate! Yes you're right there!
I find myself watching this again, It still looks good second time around ,it reminds ne of Salisbury plain, need to get the Husky up there this weekend for a good shake down, can not wait for next years Malle Mile,
Nice vid 👍 You were hoping for more technical riding… Desert Rose definitely delivered!!
Thanks mate! Aye technical it was but my riding was short lived! Shame as I was pretty excited for it!
Put some rim locks on front/rear will help stop the tube and tyre spinning, bit a bummer when things don't go right on the day.
At least it was just a tube that went wrong in thr end I guess! 🙃🙃
Well tube and whatever gremlin lurks in the greasy underbelly of that gearbox 🤔😂
Live and learn , Look up the old movie , On Any Sunday ...the first one..Malcolm Smith while in competition at the International 6 Days Trials event back in the day...and changing a flat tire ...cool event you went to
Wasn’t changing a tire one of the required tasks for the 6DT? I remember a photo of Steve McQueen doing that.
@@blacksquirrel4008 And you had to do that quickly to stay in the race...
Are you doing the Malle Mile this year Will?
