I never thought about it like that Michael. Damn, I should have said I did it on purpose! Perhaps I just need a better subframe. Thanks very much, Dean.
Absolutely brilliant video. Shame about the frame, its a good job you have the new bench now. The visit to Ivan looked marvellous. He and John are true gentlemen and experts. The aircraft engined racing car is an absolute beast.
Thanks Dale, Michael has me thinking I should run with it. He expertly changes the headstock angle, mine has been done in a more ..... rudimentary fashion! You are right, Michael and Ivan's channels are excellent. Best wishes, Dean.
Great video again Dean. Would the steeper headstem angle be a bonus for a trials bike? I'm not sure but I always remember hearing Sammy Miller quote an angle he did on all his bikes (which I can't remember). Those swingarm pivot pins can be a real bugger to get out as well, so you had a win there. Proof of patience and preparation paying off. That aircraft engine at Ivan's sounded magnificent and thanks for letting us know about him...........I've had a look at his stuff and another interesting channel to follow.
Bones, the steeper head angle has been mentioned by Michael at Brittania who is the trials guru, so I think it's less of an issue than I originally thought. I thought the swinging arm pivot would be worse, it was a pleasant surprise. Best wishes, Dean.
But yet another BSA, I too, just like Michael, would like to know how you keep your coat so clean. It seems just walking into my shop, the grease and grime jumps on to my clothes. When I was up picking the YL2 Yamaha up, the man also had a BSA Bantam 175. It was hard for me to leave without it. Beginning of another awesome project. Nice work Dean.
Dale, you two have me thinking that perhaps I'm not working hard enough! Too long off the hangar floor and in the design office. You could go back for the BSA, try out some stone age two stroke technology! Always great to spend time with you. Best wishes, Dean.
Another interesting video Dean , shame about the frame although something to be unfortunately expected I guess considering the unknown life of the bike. Had to laugh when I read the comments from no less than Michael Waller in reference to your shop coat.may I suggest a well worn Black Sabath T shirt may suit the forthcoming episodes. It’s fantastic to be able to enjoy these videos from you and others. Well done everyone. To subscribe is to enjoy. 👍👍
What a generous comment, thank you Paul. Mr Waller has dispensed some good advice which may well give us a way forward. I will take the tee shirt under consideration! Best wishes, Dean.
