I’m totally engrossed in this brilliant series. Dave has such a calm demeanour and a wealth of knowledge. For someone thinking about entering the world of classic bikes, I would find it interesting to hear from some of Dave’s customers: what work they do themselves and what they ask Dave to do. I imagine owners have a broad range of skills and I would like to see how those skills integrate with Dave’s. Also feature customer bikes; whether they are show bikes or bikes that are ridden.

Excellent series. Takes me back 35 years when I stripped down a1965 A65. Not as expertly as you, but still ran fine afterwards. I found mine had the devimead conversion to improve oil to big ends. After 30 years off 2 wheels due to family and a mortgage, last year I bought a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor. Best of the old style and new engineering. So far I am loving it.

@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel unfortunately im not on Facebook. Im building a motor which my grandfather used for vintage racing in the 70s and 80s . My plan is to get the bike together and do a run at Lake Gardner salt lakes in south Australia's far outback next year. Like to see what it can do in a recorded mile at land speed week 2022. Working on the carbon fibre fairings next once the motor is finished. Thanks for the response. Love the channel. Keep up the killer videos coming mate Cheers

The exposed rocker assembly is a big improvement on that on A10s... I have dim memories of a tool called a "pushrod comb" which held the rods in place as you lowered the rockerbox cover! Doing the job without this tool was very awkward.

Takes me back 60 years when I had to rebuild my A7 a couple of times through exuberant use of the throttle, I notice the A 65 /A50 engine does away with the special comb shaped tool to fit the pushrods. That should be a nice ridable bike when finished, cheers from down under.

When I was a kid I had a BSA B40 350 Star. It leaked like a sieve, was hard to start, it shook, but it was so much faster than my Suzuki 120 that it was worth the trouble to me. It broke its chain one time and it whipped up and hit me in the back which left a nice chain imprint on my t-shirt and my skin. I was 16 then I'm 66 now and have a 2020 KTM 790 Adventure which I truly enjoy. I wish I would have had some of your know how to make that old B40 have better manners but there's probably no 16 year old that has your kind of experience. Good memories however. Thanks for your great channel!

reminds me of my early bike days where you needed to have a certain mechanical aptitude just to own a bike. my first at 16 was an old leaky smoky C15, my first big bike was a Bsa Golden Flash 2 days after passing my test on the same week i turned 17. i have over the years owned many brit bikes, BSA, Velocette, AJS, and james. the worst being a A65 Lightning Clubman and the best in my opinion was the second A10, a lovely mellow engine that never let me down

Happy New Year Dave and fellow viewers. Just the right amount of fast forwarding in those tedious spots to keep me from wanting to jumping over them, enjoying the dialog. Also interesting to see how the BSA design differs from the Triumph twin, I should have been a little more interested in the the BSA when I was in my early days of riding. They look a lot simpler and less likely to leak, where as the Triumph having the two pushrod tubes that could possible leak, (I was always told if it doesn't leak, it's out of oil.) All that is enclosed in the barrel assemble on the BSA, Smart! Always looking forward to the next video. Cheers.

Great videos. Informative and enjoyable to watch. I am going over my 1969 A65 Lightning after sitting for 5 years unused. I did all of the usual preparations for long term storage and it was easy to get up and running again. I usually restore Japanese bikes and this BSA was purchased from the previous owner with an extensive work order from a reputable shop who rebuilt the motor so I am unfamiliar with the internals. At some point before I owned it, someone removed the tach drive on the motor and used a blocking plate like your single carb Thunderbolt has. I have replaced both meters and would like to locate a tach drive to allow my tachometer to work. I have looked at the exploded view in the parts manual and the service manual, but can't be sure if there could be something missing aside from the tach drive that is attached to the outside of the motor? I believe it runs off the oil pump? My BSA still has little mileage and runs beautifully, and I would rather not take it apart if possible.

I enjoy your videos and I have a question about the tachometer drive that you mentioned at approximately 18 minutes on Part 7. I have a 1969 A65 Lightning that I've owned for years and I am freshening it up for spring, and would like to make my tachometer work. A previous owner had the blanking plate where the tachometer drive should come out of the case. Possibly from a Thunderbolt? I am hoping that you may know if it is simply a matter of locating a tach drive adaptor as shown on page 22 of my 1969 parts book? It looks like the Thunderbolt has a drive that's blanked off because it has no tach, but yours appeared to have the drive in the cover. The parts book shows the option of a tach drive adaptor or the plate with no mention of any other differences. If you know if this is correct, I would be very grateful. Thank you, Andre in Canada.

Also ignition timing adjustment video would be great, it does have the original points which I would like to keep ideally. I have gotten it running, just needs fine tuning.
