BSA A7 short test ride after changing timing cover bush. 

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks Razif!

Thanks, Nigel. Those were Dot rear shocks and they were on their softest settings. As for the forks, I suspect there was no oil inside them and the external springs were screeching and groaning, probably lacking grease, I would think.

It does indeed seem to go well, but that was with the crank end float and a very worn exhaust valve guide and recessed valve seat, as it happens. The engine is currently going back together, after the owner wanted it fully stripped.

Thanks, to be fair, the owner was on to it and brought the replacement bush with the bike - I just had to change it.

Hi Bill, yes it is a nice bike!

That is just down to how the camera processes sounds as it picks them up, it can be heard in most of my 'ride videos'.

Possibly, it might even be a result of the highly sensitive mic on my camera - it 'hears' all sorts of things I don't hear at the time.

That yellow bus had my kids on, coming home from school! I expect all sorts along that road, there was muck and a big stone on it today [6.30] and on one occasion [on video], a farmer had put ropes across the road in that location to cross animals from one gateway to the other and I just spotted those in time! The yellow bus was quite a mild one compared with that!

@@paulhenshaw4514 I suppose you have to pay attention. But nothing like living out in the country.

@@paulhenshaw4514 A tractor with a silage spike is always a good one to meet head on when you cant use the brakes because of the grass growing up the middle of the road 😂

@@thra5herxb12s I meet a tractor with hedge trimmer on the Roman Road in one of my Royal Enfield Woodsman videos, that was interesting!

No, the bush was in good shape and left alone.

I have mentioned that to Paul before Craig cos I thought there was something seriously wrong with the bike he was testing! Needs a Go Pro or something similar?

@@notwocdivad a GoPro would work. I have a few videos on my channel using a GoPro.

@@notwocdivad Has to be a genuine gopro that can take an external mic. None of the knockoffs have the same high quality image sensor so the videos all look very blotchy. I've used many different types of cheap gopro type action cams and none of them are much good. The difference between a £300 camera and a £50 copy is clear. I still cant afford a real gopro 👍

Usually I can get a reasonable angle and view. I don't like watching helmet cam videos, it can send you dizzy with all the head movements - especially at busy junctions!

@@paulhenshaw4514 haha I get what you mean. Ride safe!

Haven't you seen Paul's video showing off his whole low-rent bungee cord "cam-brassiere" getup? Still, even wearing this humble bodgery he manages to somehow crank out the finest ride videos BY FAR on RU-vid. In fact, if you crank up the playback speed on this BSA ride to 1.25x or 1.50x parts of it remind one uncannily of some of the more thrilling race scenes from that '66 movie "Grand Prix". That cost about $9 million bucks to make back then, or about $70 million in today's money. Paul apparently gets it done for stuff he found laying around in the shed.
