In the '50's dad had a BSA 1000 and sidecar that he got in a swap for his BSA sloper 350. I think dads was a flat tanker though. Left it behind when they came to Australia. I'd take a BSA on family recommendation. Dad's kick start was broken, or missing, but it push started easily.

Thank you for putting together a fine selection of so many lovely examples of motorcycle engineering of the period.

You're welcome. I doubt many will watch it but I like to preserve history as accurately as I can.

@niallsommerville9813 Год назад

@@motorcyclecafe You might be, pleasantly I hope, surprised. Job done then.

I read the Crockers were really well made. This one has similar horsepower rating with a modern Sportster. Thank you, nice show!

@motorcyclecafe Год назад

I'm glad u enjoyed it buddy. Yes those Crockers were something special that's for sure.

@redtobertshateshandles Год назад

A Sportster isn't particularly high revving. Cam timing is pretty mild. An 883 with free flowing exhaust and a carb will do a bit over 100 mph. The extra 100cc of the Croker and most of these bikes gives a similar speed. I liked the earlier Sportster, these modern black things, not so much.

Just read about the music, sure sounded like Rinhart.

Great video as usual! Your channel is a must for bike nuts like me! 🇬🇧

Thats great to hear and it's because I too am a bike nut. I like all brands you will never hear me brand bash.

Absolutely lovely. Fantastic bikes. I thought I was listening to Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappell but it wasn't scratchy enough, too hifi, but fantastic nevertheless, great. Love your dead authentic channel, it;s deffo one of the best on YT for sure.

thank you buddy! I truly appreciate you saying that.

Great video! Did spot what looks like plunger suspension on both the Ariel and the Brough Superior British Bikes, so not fully Rigid rears.. Thanks again

@motorcyclecafe Год назад

Thanks and yes you are correct on both counts. Plunger rear suspension was available on the 1938 Brough Superior for an added cost. And as far as I could ascertain the 1938 Ariel did indeed have a rigid rear but the late '38 models and 1939 models featured plunger suspension.

@@motorcyclecafe Thanks and no worries. A late uncle of mine was a big Britt bike fan, in particular the Mk II Ariel Square four 50s models, learnt a bit for him.. Cheers
