WoW what a lot of fun i was smiling all the way through this video the bike looks and sounds amazing and some beautiful country roads. So sorry i have been neglecting you but i had a lot on my plate, my Dad has been in hospital for 2 months and if your father was still around he would say to you stick with what you know son start your own business get it going and then employ some good guys to do most of the work while you take it easy be a leader and not a follower. And on a lighter note last week i brought a Ragdoll kitten he is so adorable and i don't feel lonely anymore
Hi Darren. Thanks for your kind words, always appreciated. I feel like I've been the one neglecting you, and all my other subscribers. Sometimes life slaps you in the face, it happens to all of us. All the best to you and your Dad. I miss mine a lot, so all I can say is spend as much time with him as you can. Take care, speak soon and have fun raising your kitten. PS: you will never be alone.
There should be more to come, there are a few nice places to see around there. Until then, I hope to get some thorough servicing done so the bike can take us there next year. :-)
Hello Geoffrey. Great too ride along with you down memory lane! I myself enjoy doing the same. And on a machine like an OIF Triumph only enhances the experience! I pray that you continue to find your way through tough times. The muffler was a great parallel to life. When things turn too shit, you do what you can with the help of others too stay on the road and keep moving forward! The bike sounds and looks great. Sounds like your getting her dialed in. I’m going too see if we can get the B line here in the states. Bless you and your family!
Thank you Mick! Got a few misfires here and there, nothing that proper servicing won't take care of. More about that later. I hope you can find a stockist for the Bee Line, it really is a useful accessory. What I really like is that I can put it on my BMW without having to mess around with wiring. Anyway, speak soon I hope! All the best for you and your loved ones too.
Great video on my favourite motorcycle, what a place to ride a triumph bonneville, looks brilliant, I’ve had two bonnevilles in my life over the years so this was just great on a wet Sunday night in uk, thanks for the vid magic.
Thank you Michael! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones too! All is good here, wrapping up 2023 in style. I hope you are able to enjoy some quality family time as well! Speak soon!
Nice video. Its 12.30am and Im jerking my head when my eyes clise to try to watch, but Ive got church in the morning and I woke up about 5am so ita been a long day of video games , movies and TH-cam for me. Pretty much binge watched mist if your videos tonight on the bedroom tv. Just saw the zip tie exhaust. Reminds me whrn my Kawasaki 900 Ninja dropped the center stand spring on a long trip and a guy helped me with some bailing wire to tie it up and finiah the run.
belle vidéo Geoffrey , je vois que tu a beaucoup travaillé sur ta moto elle brille de mille feu . n'oublie pas de mettre des écrous Nylstop !!! les Triumph sa vibre hihihi
@@gmcevoy pour la mienne !!! je n'ai rien entrepris car l'année dernière j'ai vendu ma maison ; je suis devenu un simple locataire et je suis a la retraite , cette année en mais le 10/10/ 24 j'aurais 67 ans , je me suis fait un petit plaisir d'acheté une petite 350 neuve .

Hi. Isn't science wonderful. I've just beamed in from the comments on your video 8 months ago. Looks like the tank liner's doing well and the bike sounds great. Cheers.👍👍
Very nice Geoff. Always good to go back and have a bit of nostalgia. What amazing riding roads. Is this part of the Ardennes? The bike sounds great. Whereabouts have you placed the mic for it to have so little wind noise but captures the lovely exhaust note? Good luck with whatever you chose to do in the future, but remember, if you want to carry on with the vintage car business, you have a marvellous starting point with your old customer base, you have to invest time and money now to give yourself a solid future. You are at an age where you have the energy and enthusiasm. Don't waste it....advice from a 71 year old. Good luck.
Thanks Chris, highly appreciated advice... This is indeed in the Northern region of the Ardennes. Beautiful, scenic roads all over the place... I put the mic in my helmet, and mix in a bit of the audio from the GoPro on my chest. I am still working on getting good sound that doesn't clip so much when I speak. Next year I'll try other settings and locations to make it better. Thanks again, your input is highly valued, and I am grateful for your kind words. Speak soon I hope.
Hi there Michael. Doing good, thank you for asking. I hope you too? Looking forward is the only way to go. Right now I'm penning down some production ideas for both my channels, hopefully it will be good stuff for all to enjoy. Stay in touch, and all the best to you and your loved ones as well.
Hi there! You have definitely got a keen eye for details! I like that! I did notice an asymmetry in the shape too when I reconditioned the forks. not sure what's up, but there is definitely something up with the bar. Maybe the bike tipped over and fell sometime in between 1978 and today. Highly likely in fact, despite no evidence of heavy damage...

Excellent to see you out for one last ride and to end with a view to die for.
There should be more to come, there are a few nice places to see around there. Until then, I hope to get some thorough servicing done so the bike can take us there next year. :-)

Nice bike , is your hand grip /bar longer on the left side or is that just a optical illusion . Cheers .

Maybe the bike tipped over and fell sometime in between 1978 and today. Highly likely in fact, despite no evidence of heavy damage...
@@gmcevoy could you measure from the bend to the switch gear or grip ? .
@gmcevoy I'd just measure it somehow , and trim the end of the Handlebar , it might improve your riding / position.
How many ccs?
