Metisse Motorcycles - Handmade in England - Bronze Brazing 

Best use of a golf course I've seen so far!

Best soundtrack to a frame build, ever.

This video made my day! I have one of these a ‘70 650, it’s never been ridden like this! To see one welded answered a question that I’ve had for 40 years. Brilliant! Thank you!!

Artisan at work, you can appreciate the amount of work involved

a work of art...and that brazing work is incredible

WOW! Bloody brilliant! I love to see a golf course being used for something useful! And did I say "WOW", love that MkV - What a bike!

That brazing is phenomenal!

Love it! Classic in every sense of the word! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought one of these frames from Wasp (Rind Tutt) for my Triumph Metisse 500 that was originally built by Brian Nadin in 1991. Went into the Chells hands then mine had it for five years now, fabulous machine. Here I am in fact at Narbeth West Wales '13 1st and two seconds ha ha.

That is some beautiful welding...and a iconic bike !

Bud Eakins would be happy to see this

I love to weld too...Much respect from Canada and USA..Oh! nice work..

I just went from 6 to noon. Lol glad I stumbled upon this video. Thank you.

Punaise, quel artiste de la soudure... incroyable. BRAVO.

Proper bike, love it.

That is some damn pretty welding. The sort you could cut out, frame and hang on the wall

love this bikes.

I love welding..Much respect from Canada.

Super nice work..by the way also a super nice music taste 👌

I was so impressed with the quality I displayed my MKIII on the dining room table .

Remember Don and Derek Richman at Beenham scrambling, pair of champs in their days !!

Super !!!

American Chopper need to watch this video to see how it's done!

This is bronze welding when a bead is formed on the surface of the joint, brazing uses capillary action to draw the filler into the joint.

Good to see that you've changed the bend in those Mk 5 pipes to upswept.. Will that bend be seen on production bikes?

All oh' dat', and the Lizard King too!.

Craftsmanship👍😍🤯

Pleased to see bronze-welding (brazing) is still being used.

Tune. Bike. 😎

Is it possible to buy the plans so one can make the frame themselves?

is it your own engine in the desert racer.

Lovely brazing. Puts my efforts to shame.

Why no hydraulic clutch?

Bloody hell !

I assume you are using a gas flux, or is the rod pre-fluxed?

I just fabricated an intake manifold for a 71 Daytona. I should have brazed it instead of welding.

Nice note out of them pipes, lovely bike, just be careful of your bollocks on the barbwire, showing off now.

I have always liked the 650 Metisse . but being 6.3 foot tall, the bike is small for me to sit on. its a shame they don't make them a little taller. But the guys back then were short.

no wonder they were making there own engines now, those triumph powerplants will ran out some day or the other.

Unico errore?....Andare ha cromare un capolavoro di telaio, avrei dato solo un trasparente....

The Triumph engine looks better 100%.

B.

Sounds British.

HORRENDA!! VERY OGLY!!

Sadly they are utter crap build quality. I made the mistake and dropped £15k on one. After a 20 mile (oil covered) ride the bike went to SRM for a survey. The bike had been wired up incorrectly, the frame wasn’t straight, the engine had 60” piston in an 80” bore, the gearbox was cracked and crankcases didn’t match. The hollow breather cam had been replaced by a solid cam so the engine couldn’t breathe, the rear break light had been connected to the brake obis a eve of chain link. The sit on but the eventually for repair up to the standard I should age river it was £10k. Even after all this the bike can’t be registered due to the fact Jerry took the frame numbers out the back of the Rickman book and stamped up new frames! DVLA shut him down yet he still sells them.DVLA has also removed the region dents over 150 of the original limited edition Steve MQueen bikes
