I post a couple of vids about a bloke who not only maintains and uses old technology but learns, develops, builds and new technology to keep it going...and it invokes a response about hair style and perceived oral hygiene...terrific.

No wonder this country is f$&ked.

You can't get barred for quality posts!    :-(((

You can only resign, but don't do that, because we need everyone's input Dickie.   :thumbs

I loved the old codger's cool attitude after getting released from skidding along upside down.  "I couldn't get out- needed someone to turn it over."  His wife might as well be mine- "Let the young ones do it!" she says.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Dick, go and take a deep breath and pour out the rest of the bottle...your skin has become a bit too thin...and I haven't even watched the videos as yet..the thought of those Vincent engines used like that makes me turn a bit..but I will keep an open mind...

These two blokes are extremely talented and i presume a lot of work they do is inside the renovated shed.

I don't know how old the vid is but Occ Health and Safety dosn't appear to be a consideration and i also noted that their hearing didn't appear to be too bad and they didn't seem to be suffering from any lung related illness.

The noise and exhaust fumes in the shed would have been extreme at howmany revs was he doing through the gears.

I know when I start my Suzuki Sierra up on a cold morning, the wife threatens me with a good talking too due to the smell of exhaust fumes and the loud rumble of the extractors as the choke cuts in.

They remind me of the bloke from Invercargalll(or similar) in N/z who had the fastest Indian.

I bet he was a bit of a rough rouge as well.

Two fantastic videos.   I just love the innovation and skill of a couple of old blokes who's love of bikes and engineering leads them to build something fantastic like Altomethius.   Their enthusiasm is inspiring and catching.     :clap :clap :clap :clap
