I’m with all the others in saying, please continue filming your builds. I have learned so much from you and put many of your tips into practice in my own garage working in my motorcycle projects, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
Hello Mr Michael ! We all just love your video reports & look forwards to them ! Its so important to do things we love & even more to be able to share that love with others I believe? I'm 78 years now & I love flint knapping & many other interests but my hands wont do as I want them to as well as I'm used to them doing ! So it becomes more important to watch others doing things well such as yourself & who make it so very interesting ! Thank you Sir !
Nice job Michael ................dont give up youtube !, yeah sure it must be tough at times filming everything you do BUT never give it up please, I been watching you forever ! not from up north, down in slough and now NZ , you are part of my family Sir
Hello Michael , another decent video , videos such as yours are like watching a story unfold and you have to keep watching to see how it ends which is part of the enjoyment , but , for you if the enjoyment is fading and it's becoming a chore then whatever you decide to do would be understandable ,,,,,, best of luck whatever you decide
Thank you for sharing your work, I learn so much from your videos. I can understand your frustration with TH-cam even as just a viewer , their buggering around is beyond annoying. For as long as you post,I like all the others here will watch.
Another great job Michael. I would suggest that instead of during huge multi week builds all the time, (which I enjoy a great deal), maybe you could take on some smaller 1 or 2 week jobs, fixing your bikes or other bikes in your trials world. Ie find an engine fault, repair a frame, make a new replacement part, etc. in between major builds. Also I would like to see you actually film some of the welding, turning and painting you do. I really enjoyed the welding and polishing in this video. Cheers from AUS 🦘
Like many others here, I’d miss your videos on a Sunday night, but c’mon, you do what YOU want and are happy with. Several of the really good workshop video producers seem to get burn-out and run out of things to do, or to say, to camera. ToT, and CaLem to name two. I might just have to sneak out into my cold garage and do another bike of my own if you stop. That wouldn’t be bad, would it? This project has been as interesting as all the other trials bikes I’ve watched you build. Thank you! Les in Chester 🇬🇧
Great work this week Michael, the welding on the bash plate was lovely. YT can be a drain to do, my channel suffers a lot from my day job. I just don't get much time. I don't blame you for wanting a bit of respite. You will be missed, thats for sure. Hopefully you can find the balance you are looking for. Best wishes, Dean.
Michael, I have been watching your videos for at least 4 years and looked back at some of the earliest ones also. They have been interesting and helpful with my projects. Can understand that they can be challenging to record especially if your projects become a bit monotonous to work on. I think grafting an engine into a frame, as with the current project, was always going to be a challenge but that’s what makes it interesting. I for one hope you keep producing videos but, also understand if you decide to reduce the frequency of them. Most important thing is to keep well and look after yourself, may be a winter trip to find some sun is needed.
I don't understand why any potential buyers of your bikes would come back with issues, they must know the bikes are built in your workshop!then again some people are never happy. I wouldn't seeing you ride one of your bikes in a local trials,I'm sure your subscribers think the same. Nice video again Michael 👍.
Michael on the inside of the welded up cover, do I see a small crack running into the edge of the screw in cover plug? Purple flame is usually potassium but unlikely for that to be in the metal.
HC means it has a higher compression than the standard version, BSA A10 super rockets were mostly HC but some US stuff and Rocket gold stars had HHC stamped denoting higher comp + higher lift cam.
Many YTbers are disgruntled about recent algorithmic changes among other things. 4 weeks 'til Spring is what l'm clinging to. H.C. does mean (8.7 to 1) high comp' Also look on the head for 41-211 which indicates bigger valves.

Thanks Michael, don't know what I would do without one of your videos to watch on a Sunday.

Nice to see that part of the workshop.
Thanks Michael, I don't often comment but I really look forward to, and enjoy your videos every Sunday

I enjoy your videos but would definitely understand if you need a break. I have a few greeves so glad I found this series.
Hello Mike, I would really miss your videos, but whatever you decide it must be what is best for you.
Cracking bit of welding nice one Michael, take care.

But it’s the USA! UK is going the same way, TBH though. Les
I completely understand about TH-cam.
I've done over 660 classic trials video's and it was time for a break
It was a high compression engine probably of the BSA Starfire. I Think.
Michael on the inside of the welded up cover, do I see a small crack running into the edge of the screw in cover plug? Purple flame is usually potassium but unlikely for that to be in the metal.
Potassium Fluoride is used as a fluxing agent in aluminium casting. It helps to provide a thermally stable casting.
HC means it has a higher compression than the standard version, BSA A10 super rockets were mostly HC but some US stuff and Rocket gold stars had HHC stamped denoting higher comp + higher lift cam.
SS90 was a high compression version of the B40.
Please don't pack the youtube in, I look forward to your posts every week
Hi. My wife Jill who is an avid watcher, wants to know did you get some ginger scones?
Keep warm.
Yes, in fact I got six, but Linda will insist on her share.
