In this video our friend Dave Mitchell introduces us to his low budget classic motorcycle restoration project - The 1967 BSA A65 Thunderbolt.
Dave purchased this bike as a rolling chassis and a box of engine parts.
His intention with this bike is to get this bike back on the road over the course of a few months and use it as an everyday bike that he can just get on and ride, all seasons.

@truethought369 Год назад

Thanks for your film and as you stated, when engines suffer blue smoke, it is very rarely rings! Most oil burn comes from Valve stem ware, or the stem seals have become brittle. New stem seals are cheaper than new guides, but never cut corners: if you need new "Guides". Nice one.

Hi from the world's most useless mechanic! The one and only knowledgeable comment I can contribute.... yes the off-side zip tool pouch was standard. I was, in my opinion, extremely fortunate to have owned a 1969 Thunderbolt right through the seventies, travelled thousands of miles on it, and it never missed a beat!! Happy Trails And Happy Days:-):-)

@andrewhart3363 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video. I Have owned two '66 Royal Stars, they both had that tool pouch. The first one I had was only five years old when I bought it, the second one was approx thirty years old. I'm nearing 70 years old now & it was a bit of a struggle to get it on the stand so I sold it. I still have and use my Triumph Speed Twin I bought nearly fifty years ago, that one is easy to put on the stand! I like the "if it a'int broke don't fix it attitude." I'm currently working on a Bantam Cub & a Bantam sports to keep the Speed Twin company. Looking forward to the next video.

@douglasfrantzen3011 3 года назад

13:46 was definitely helpful, I need to check my TR6R that way. I look at the front wheel while waiting at stoplights and it seems to be wobbling forward and backward. I've been thinking that the bushings are worn. This was another great video. I recently picked up a numbers matching '70 T100C in Arizona for $750 as a project to play with. Rubber is all shot and a lot of the black paintwork has surface rust but it's very complete, engine turns freely and the chrome and fenders are fine. It was going to be a low budget fix that I would sand and rattle-can spray but as I go along I'm thinking, hmmm... powder coat!

@jjrider6758 3 года назад

Great video, in fact I've just subscribed ! - About twenty years ago I did exactly the same as you are doing now but with a US import 1970 Commando MK1 Roadster (long before the prices went through the roof !..) - I already had a MK3 Commando and wanted a British bike as a daily ride, luckily the Commando came up for sale (actually imported by a dealer in vintage Ford tractor parts..) Once I'd recommissioned it and made a few minor upgrades it was absolutely reliable, started easily and ran like a sewing machine every day, all year round and in all weathers for the eleven trouble-free years that I had it (on the original coil and points setup) with just routine maintenance and 1000 mile oil change intervals. The only cosmetic work I did was a thorough clean and a tank and side panel respray because the paint was in a very poor state. In fact that 1970 Norton was no trouble at all, much less grief than the low mileage 1996 BMW R850R I've just sold which really opened my eyes to the myth of German reliability. Great to see a British bike that is going to be used as they should be, keep up the good work !

@mattcero1 2 года назад

Nice video but I take exception to how you judge the valve guide wear. You're pulling the valve out well beyond where it ever operates and you wiggle it. Consider pulling it out to it's maximum operating "lift" and wiggle it at that location. If no wiggle, then it passes inspection and mucho dineros saved.

Nasty flat spot in that front rim. Looks like pothole damage. We've all been there! I think that will vibe a bit at lower speeds. Might want to drop a new rim on or manipulate that one round again.

@brockett 3 года назад

Very nice. I enjoy watching old bikes being worked on and I like the way you are not just throwing cash at it but "making do" with what is "good enough". I never had a British twin ( B33 for me) but my brother had a Gold Flash. I was wondering if you ever found out why the engine had seized. And lastly etched into my brain is the sight of John "mooneyes" Cooper wrestling the A65 BSA around Clearways at Brands Hatch ( The Hutchinson Hundred which was run the wrong way round - Anti clockwise) The bike seemed to have a hinge in the middle , but then it was being ridden beyond it's capabilities.

@petecarrick 3 года назад

Really enjoyable viewing, especially the work on the Trident, brought back fond memories, I was the proud owner of a T150 when I lived in the UK mid to late seventies, such fun to ride and that sound.

@mebeasensei 3 года назад

Interesting that Kawasaki continued with their W series 650s until 1974, which I think were pre-unit copies of the A10s. I suppose they kept them going because the Z900s were delayed until 1973 because Honda beat them to the post for a big four with the CB 750. We think of Brit bikes not modernizing and being left behind in this period, but not so simple..
