Too long ago I had a business trip the Reading, England. Our group was walking to supper and we passed a hardware store window with a set of King Dick Whitworth spanners. Expensive, but I had to have them.
Nice tools you have there Mike. You're doing away with the chocolate without hesitation. Your friend has a nice collection also thanks for sharing and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Hi Mike thanks for replying back I hope you enjoy BSA and do many many miles and enjoy your other bikes I look forward in seeing you in the new year and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year many thanks again
My pleasure, Nicholas. Yes, it’s a really cool piece. It only just fits on my massive head, otherwise I might be tempted to wear it. But also common sense prevailed as it is very old and poorly constructed, just like they were back in the day!
I am enjoying the insight into your Christmas build up, it was interesting to see someone else's work shop, I was very pleased to see I am not the only person with 3 clutch spring compressors, I seem to get one with every Commando I purchase.
I’m envious of your tool collection and you’ve given me a few ideas on storage. Great idea to give little teasers on future videos, keeping us all hooked and on the edge of our seats, hehe.
Another great video Tony! Question: your thoughts on a 1959 Norton ES2. Are they a decent rider? I have a chance to pick one up fairly reasonable. Thanks again!!!
Hi, I haven’t ridden that generation of ES2 models, but I would imagine that it is a really nice comfortable and enjoyable bike to ride. They are a really attractive bike and very understated. Good luck! Cheers, Mike
The tennis balls 🎾 made me laugh out loud. Sacrilege to deface a BMW exhaust clamp tool, however, I’m sure it will still work when you eventually see the light and add a Toaster airhead to your collection 🤣😂. You say you don’t use your metric spanner’s but surely your Thruxton is all metric, unless it needs no maintenance whatsoever! 🇬🇧
Haha, thanks Stewy. Yes, you are absolutely right. I have never worked on the Thruxton. I think the only thing I have touched myself was to add a new battery and a center stand! Hope all is well. Yes, I do like the old Toasters!! Best wishes, Mike

Jane's decor looks lovely for the holidays. She has her hobby, too!!!
Ha ha yes she certainly does Joe. She is busier than I am! Cheers, Mike
Thanks Mike for the Reply concerning your Manx helmet

Ha ha, so true John. Yes, I don’t even know where I got them all from. For some reason, I just love collecting these old tools! Best wishes, Mike

Many thanks, Chris. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. Best wishes, Mike
Very homely garage
