Peter M Posted 6April, 2022 Report Share Posted 6April, 2022 2 hours ago, LeeM said: Built in 1911. Think about that for a second! Unreal There is a guy there who did the resto on that particular bike for the local Dr owner and has many other old bikes that I've been encouraging to bring a "show and tell" item each week. Last week he bought a couple disassembled magnetos of various ages that I found interesting as you can see how things developed over the last century and can see the roots of the points and coil ignition that eventually came about. Today he bought in some early Triumph carburettors that didn't have venturis. I found that amazing as I've never seen that before and the fact that they ignored Bernoulli's principle which was derived about 150 years before! They also had two slides in series, the first to control air flow and the second to meter fuel. Again interesting as you can see the roots of the modern (Ha, before WWII!) carburettor. I admit they have softened my resolve that no worthwhile bikes were built before 1973! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 22August, 2022 Report Share Posted 22August, 2022 World's Coolest Motorcycle Parking Sign? Maybe if you are a Ducati enthusiast! Located in Uralla NSW. Still working through a decade or so of disuse and the odd dubious legacy of a previous owner but now have done just over 300km (without breaking down again!) and couldn't be happier. These must have been a revelation when they came on the market in the 70's. Shedpest, tomo, JWM and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Nitro guys are bloody mad! I was offered a go on a Pro Stock bike in the late 90's, but I piked out last minute 😅 I was doing 10's on my street bike, but a Pro bike is just another animal that I probably didn't possess the required testicular size to handle it tomo, 3legs and Shedpest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
