This Chopper has a history! 

Such a cool ride to have! I am glad it has a good home with someone who appreciates the history 🙌

Cool video, Jared. I love listening to your wealth of knowledge on bikes. Can't wait to see the Judges' bike back on the road.

Rock In Peace,Mr.Judge,hes is the proof that if there is a will,the is a way,RESPECT

I was sent here by Joe from The Wurks. What an absolute find of a bike. I'm in the UK and have been working on Triumphs since the mid 1970's and I'd say you are spot on with the 1960's for the last part of the build. However, as we all know, custom bikes evolve and can give false clues, without doubt that's an earlier bottom end (I think you said 56) with a later head fitted, I have done the same myself fitting a 750 crank, barrels, pistons and head onto a 56 Thunderbird bottom end (suitably machined), so I think The Judge still has a few clues to give up yet.

Wow Weems, I feel a whole lot smarter after watching this video. Massive 🎩-Tip 👍🏼

Looks like he put a lot of thought into each of the Parts he used and Glad its more a Refresh then full restore

You know back in the day I remember guys putting bikes together with so many crash your bike and get a front-end off at or you might get the wheels off of the engine and I was a little kid watching guys do this at the time and it went on and on into the 70s 80s 90s, you see less of it now but we didn't have RU-vid man. I'm sure you were doing this before RU-vid and especially even the internet parts became easy to get. Respect for keeping the old ways

One of your best videos ever. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

back in the day it was about friendship and riding, with a little bit of competition thrown in.

Loved the video!! The history behind the motorcycle is awesome!

I have some friends in BOOZEFIGHTERS LOCAL 118TH in Tampa

Thanks, well put together and great history lesson.

Fascinating, thank you for a great video.

I'm digging the history of this bike, not only of the clubs, but the pieces and parts it took to build it

Thank you for this video. I love history and motorcycle history. This presentation was perfect. Bikes like this need to be preserved forever and the stories need to be passed down.

Well this is cool beans much respect❤

in the thumbnail i thought the was a 49 Like Fonzies, LOL buts way diff when you see the engine more clear. will be cool to see what's up.

Sweet you got the bikeriders book! I can’t wait until the movie comes out, I think December this year

This old footage is insane and I absolutely eat up old biker history! Please make these types of videos a regular thing. Congratulations on the bike. Save the survivors!

Great video man! Have an awesome week👊

Great video. Ahh, the days when being a biker were so much simpler. It’s a miracle that this fine machine has maintained it’s originality after so many years. Good luck on your journey getting her back on the road. Thank you for working so hard on keeping the history of motorcycling alive for new generations to learn and enjoy. Ride safe.

Very interesting, thanks

Wow! Amazing bike and amazing story! Weems FTW as always!

Always enjoy your posts. Down to earth and no bullsh*t 👍

How exciting to own such a piece of motorcycling history! That is one great and beautiful Triumph chopper. It will be interesting to see what's happening from the inside of that old motor! She looks to be in great shape overall. I agree that bike just needs the mechanics gone through, new tires and have her road worthy! Man o' man Weems what a find! I think you definitely struck gold, and I'm happy you are its new owner. That Triumph definitely needs to be a rider! Then it can be said once again, Here comes, The Judge! Keep giving the love to all things Triumph! Ride and stay safe in Fla!

Great content 👍

loved the story and I believe it is going to the right home.

I love history and i love learning new things. The hollister riot is world famous & i guess we all have seen the marlon brando movie 'The Wild One’ at some point in our lives. However i didn't know about all the clubs. Great work and thank you for the history lesson Mr Weems.

I'm a history fan myself... Great find!!!!

Great vid on the history of this bike.. looking forward to future vids on it....

I think it's earlier, late 60's the nylocs were probably added later due to vibration. Also it's not a rigid, it's a 1950 sprung hub, the things are lethal when you take them apart.

That's real history. Love it

Now this is a great story and bike...luv it buddy...❤

Whoa !!!!! now THAT is what you call a beautiful piece of British iron 👏. You my friend are one lucky f#cker to find this piece of rolling history 😁. Bring the old girl back to life mate and this old english man will be in your debt. Peace out ✌️

Hell yeah weems

Cool History... trying to figure out why this video was buried 2 weeks back and just now found it. Odd since I usually get notified when a video comes out.

Akron's Rims-from Akron Ohio -Very cool Rims-and it's a Chopper -Parts are Parts nothing Stock.

That Triumph is similar to the one that got killed on my corner way back around in 1972… It had Zig Zag Logos on the fuel tank maybe someone remembers.

Very cool, thanks. What is that gadget mounted under the seat?

wow!!!!

sweet bike....but where are the foot pegs!....just managed to get a pair for the '50 frame here....lol.

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

What little animal was it that ran across frame at about 17.40?

Is that a sprung hub?

Interesting theory except it doesn't take into effect the fact that motorcyclists are notorious tinkerers and are always adding to and taking off items. The tires and fender nuts were obviously added much later in this motorcycles life span. Cool story tho...

Those bikes use the Whitworth wrench system witch is completely annoying

Boozefighter never required all American just no bikes from country's we fought in ww2

Ve got an original bikeriders

Now,that was fucking awesome

What would somebody pay for that Bates seat in that kind of condition cause I got for NOS cheetah hardback king and queen seats 1 has the pocket on the side even the other ones are just cheaters, giant king and queen seats that look the same without the side pocket in 3M is never been mounted. One arm amounted to my Shovelhead, but still looks brand spanking new
