- Join me in this video after taking on the challenge to fix @FreddieDobbs Triumph Bonneville T100SE. This motorcycle is the central focal point of his channel and has been right there with him on many adventures from all over Europe to the Sahara, across the Atlas Mountains to the local coffee shop!
We are on the rebuild, getting the cams back in and valve clearances done.... Got to be careful not to drop anything down into the cases now!

I was very happy to see the GT85 being used with such enthusiasm!😃
Ahaaa its on the mend now my friend. I look forward to our next catch up!
Not many wives would help their husband work on a motorcycle. Your a lucky man!
*Not too many husbands would help their wives with something they like to do.*
Again, Emily asking the all the important how and why questions has made these videos so interesting.
People love these types of family videos because they have characters ie Emily &Joe and it's so honest you can't help but love it.
Fantastic viewing 👌
Next series will have Joe trying his hand at baking a proper cake. Love the Teamwork!!
So glad I got locknut and screw!
“Outtakes” and “pear drops.” We are witnessing the birth of new motorcycle terminology. I love it! This is a really interesting project you’re into. I like how you’re guiding your wife through this with patience and clear explanations. She’s not the only one learning from this. Well done!
Thanks pal!
Speaking as a retired teacher and Triumph biker who used to fix and rebuild his old BSA A10, but not his new Triumph(!) what a great team you both are! Emily's dulcet tones (A bit like Kate Rusby the folk singer!) and Joe's calmness, you could both teach! I'm also lucky to have a bike friendly wife. A great explanation of Newton's second law of motion. Another way I used to teach the kids with a simple Newton spring balance is 1 newton is the force to accelerate 1kg at 1 metre per second squared or the force of gravity on a 1 kg mass is equal to 9.81 N on the surface of Earth. After Freddie's bike is fixed, please keep up the excellent channel. He was very lucky to have you contact him.
Thank you Stephen!
Very much appreciated you including your wife in this video. Your teaching her helped me to understand. Well done to you both!
If it’s not too much trouble, would love to have more of your videos done this way.
The questions she asks are so relevant imo it works well.
Sounds like you wanna perv over his missus! lol
That was absolutely brilliant, I learnt more in those 30 minutes than I have done in 30 years, thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting what you say about gasket thickness on modern bike engines. I’m sure every one of my old British bikes had at least one cornflake packet gasket. Used to drive my Mum mad, but not as mad as crankcases in the over for bearing replacement. 😊
Man I love this video series! It's going to be a sad day when Freddie's bike is done. Not really, but I will continue watching your channel to see your next shop project.
God bless her. Freddie would never get his hands that dirty.
Stop picking on Freddie, he's got feelings you lot Lol.
@@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs Don't take it as picking on Freddie. Take it instead as complimenting Emily. 😉
Hi Joe I have a wife like that, she is so funny but very helpful and eager to learn. Emily made me smile during that video. Intake and outtake 😂. Nice slipper by the way Emily. Keep them coming both of you. Very entertaining and a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another good watch 😎🤘good to see your better half leading the way she definitely is the star 🌟 of the show 🙏
Hey pal,
She certainly is... she'll have her own channel before you know it!
Great series, your wife gave excellent value by asking questions that are most of the time overlooked.
Hopefully Freddie pays (attention as) well.
Thanks pal!
Amazing episode i feel like i actually understood some of it emily is a brilliant bridge between joes wizardy and us mere mortals! I hope you continue to work happily on the bike together 💙
Thank pal, much appreciate!
Love the way you are with each other..
Pear drops and outtakes and goop, oh my! Loving the new lingo. They should be called pear drops, shouldn't they? Another classic, keep 'em coming!
Definitely some cool T Shirt ideas ;P
If this is you trying to figure out if you’d have an audience for Emily building a bike for Emily from the ground up, the answer is ABSOLUTELY!
I've wondered for a while what Newton Meter meant. Interesting. Thanks.
You're welcome
There is a lot of stuff on RUclips but not with this quality. Outstanding!
Thank you Robert!
Your knowledge + Emily’s voice = Subscriber forever
Freddie's gonna get a great Bonneville back from you guys. Nice job.
I think so too!
Great work, Joe
Thank you! Cheers!
Sundays go by and leave a feeling of emptiness... an excellent piece of teamwork, transformed into an excellent piece of engine assembly work. You should teach this...👌✌
Thank you very much!
Wasn’t sure I would like the man-splaning, but well done. Once you have relied on a Honda shop manual, Haynes just doesn’t cut it, so I’m glad you can make it work.
Interesting as usual....great attention to detail Joe.
Gee I would fall over if my wife asked about torque.....I would just say.....something you do to much of dear.
Only joking....no really great description for emily.....her enthusiasm is infectious....how refreshing.
Those Triumph Motors look so well engineered inside.
Keep them coming Joe. Very enjoyable and great to look forward to on Sunday afternoons.
Thanks John, certainly will do pal!
Great work Emily. Also, getting your assistant to explain it that way, is a great way to make sure he's paying attention. 😆 👍
Women aren't allowed near me when I'm working on my bikes, unless they are getting ice for my drinks, rubbing my back, or being my play thing when I'm in the mood for mischief
@@skymningforelsket1302 Women aren't allowed near you? What happened man, were you bullied at school or something? 🤣
@@Martyntd5 Read it again. They have their place. Mechanical help isn't their place. If you're one of those guys who likes women to be invading all things in the world that used to be the domain of men, you're the problem, HIllary
@@skymningforelsket1302 ... or using the air compressor on your ego.
@@MrQuakeroat I've never seen so many simps gathered together in 1 place as I do in these comments. Women voting has caused open borders, racist affirmative action, diseased the school systems with satanic wokery, turned divorce court into the utter ruin of mens' lives, and turned the workplace into walking through a minefield. But that's not enough, you simps want to keep right on going. You make me sick.
If i had to explain valve shims to my Mrs I'd be there for a thousand years. 😅
You are a very knowledgeable guy Joe, with a terrific gift for imparting it.
Thanks pal!
Fascinating video! If Joe were to do a series of "How to adjust/install/ x,y,z of for example, the Royal Enfield range" I think it would be a runaway success.
Love your channel! In awe with how knowledgeable you are with how these engines operate! The amount of wrenching I'm capable of pretty much ends with installing crash bars or air intakes 😂 Really cool to see someone work so in depth on a bike
Thank you pal!
Superb - best valve clearance video ever. So lovely to see interaction between Joe and missus.
Thank you!
Well done. Well explained.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great content and thankfully Emily asked the questions all us non techies were thinking 👍 she also appears to have done more work on the bike than Freddie now 😂👍 ps more importantly when do we get the Lemon Drizzle 🍰
Another brilliant video thank you Emily & Joe!
I know how to build an engine, but I love watching real expertise in action. Properly Reithian - ‘ Educate, inform & entertain’! I can’t wait for the next one.
Great video! Emily now knows more about the parts in an engine than at least 98% of the country. I also think her terminology is much better than us engineers use - intake/out-take, goop and peardrops are much easier to understand.
Guys, anyone agree with me if I say this looks like Daniel Craig is working on Freddie's bike? Craig's James Bond, to Freddie's Roger Moore..Voice, Looks, attitude...perfect....
No sure about that one pal...
Thanks for the explanation on shim measurement, now I understand.
I am so going to miss these Sunday evenings watching you work your magic on Freddies bike
Bets on how long before Freddie breaks it again - he needs to buys some overalls and do some maintenance and cleaning each week - instead of showing off hundreds of pairs of similar looking jeans and waxed jackets and drinking coffee!!!!
Great learning curve and looks like your Wife was enjoying helping you out.
I am sure Freddie will end up with a great bike in the end. 🙂👍
Thanks 👍
Tell Emily I too believe the exhausts ("out-takes" ;-) ) SHOULD come out of the rear of the engine and intakes from the front...only makes sense no matter what engine designers might think! That spreadsheet is really handy when doing the "pear-drop" shafts on these bikes.
LOL. The Ariel Square Four had some exhausts coming out the back. My car has exhaust that comes out the rear of the engine. On air cooled engines, it's better if they're in the front, because they cool better. But on water cooled engines, I don't see why the exhaust can't come out the back.
once again great instruction to wife unit. brilliant
Families that build engines together, stay together.
You're a patient mechanic with translates to a patient teacher, backed up by a pasion for what you do it makes great viewing. You restore my faith in good mechanics being out there who know what they're doing and love what they're doing. Great video
Thanks pal, and thank you for taking the time to comment!
The best explanation of shim and bucket valve adjustment ever!
When I was a kid I felt the same way that the air should come in the front and exit the back. With an air cooled engine it makes sense to put the hottest part in the coolest air.
Another great video! I know how an engine works in theory, but seeing it being assembled step by step along with Emily‘s curious questions and your calm and detailed explanations is a whole new level of understanding for me. Thanks so much for sharing this content with us!
Brilliant video. Love the content with Emily!
Thanks!
What a great video, you two work together so well 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
I can't wait to see the bike running again! Great video series!
You and me both!
Loving the team work,it must be working because even I can understand it lol Brilliant video guys keep em coming 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Best family puzzle time ever..
I'm EX-Army (REME) and I would've loved to have had an instructor like Joe.
i can't wait to watch this. stop getting us over-excited with anticipation. we want to watch those spanners spannering!!!!
I'll try calling TEC tomorrow for high lift peardrop shafts .
Brilliant name !
( What's that smell?
🍐 Drops gone bad !
Need new 🍐 drops ! )
Great title - very appropriate! Looking forward to it.
Now you need to do a video of her teaching you how to bake! 😁
"they do like springs, don't they?" Hilarious!
What a brilliant video. when I talk about bikes to my wife her eyes glaze over🤣
Excellent video with terrific explanations and you have a fabulous Wife who is genuinely interested in this build for Freddie. 👍👍
Thank you kindly!
utterly brilliant the pair of you. Ka Pai
Brilliant series, it's like watching a foreign language channel because I understand about a tenth of what is said! Great stuff thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Emily is star ⭐️! Joe has the best apprentice going around! Mr & Mrs Wurks a team United working on the biggest rebuild of the industrial revolution !
sucha lovely informative video, kudos i was searching for one like this, thanks so much mate 🙂
No problem 👍
Note to Emily: Don't be nervous of you getting the valve timing wrong. It is not rocket science. You just have to be methodical. You did a great job. And correctly checked it after installation. Putting it another way, you got it right. A professional who worked on the bike previously got it wrong. So I guess that makes you a better mechanic than said professional!
And apart from that, I think you are lovely!
Thanks for sharing Emily with us, if you know what I mean. She's adorable. Will make a great motorcycle mechanic some day. 🙂
I see your apprentice has a long way to go to be Jedi master off triumphs but brilliant to see your partner helping out with the work on Mr dobbs triumph charge him double brilliant vid
Another really interesting and informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Freddie is going to freak out when he twists the throttle on this rebuilt engine. I’m sure he’s never experienced its’ full potential before, based on the issues you’ve had to correct. ⚙️🔧
Hope Freddie takes note. Emily does it without the use of marigolds. 👍
Can't help thinking Emily will have more idea about Triumph engines than some who've worked on Freddie's bike!!
Brilliant stuff I’ve learnt a lot, thanks Joe & Emily.
Glad you enjoyed it
I prefer to do.. measured clearance + current shim = total space - desired clearance = shim required. Nice video. The build is coming along nicely.
Good teaching
That makes a dark art easily understandable well done both Great help...
I may have missed a video but did you dissemble the replacement head and inspect the components and lap in the valves before reassembly? The educational elements in your videos are excellent! Thank you for this!
You didn’t, it was supplied from a trusted source UTP, I didn’t complete a leak check on the valve seats.
It’s like watching a fine Swiss watch movement being assembled by a master watchmaker.
Brilliant!! Emily being so inquisitive and willing to help is the icing on the cake, my wife is of similar nature, she often asked what things are and how they work. Guy's your stuff is just so intriguing and information it makes the time fly by, btw the incidental music you use is right up my street, so glad I found this channel. Wonderful stuff.
Love Emily's technical description for some of the parts!
Your lady might not get the terminology right all the time. But she understand's what's what .A very enjoyable watch .👍👍😃
Great video, Joe! It's fun watching you teach Emily the ins and outs of engine assembly. I know this is a labour of love for you, as you must be doing it in your "spare" time after normal working hours. Yer a good man, you are. BTW, I love Emily's accent. Where is she from? Is that London accent or someplace else?
Glad you enjoyed it!
"beause we like to fit new copper washers" says it all. Great job.
You have fit fit new copper washers unless you anneal and and sand them flat but seeing that they cost pennies, it's not worth it.
I enjoy listening to these videos as much as seeing the progress. There is some brilliant teamwork going on, with lots of patience and dedication.
Freddie's Bonneville is much more than a mechanical restoration, it's a work of genuine dedication in progress and its a joy to see.
Thank You Emily and Joe at The Wurks for making a truly unique restoration project possible.
Glad you like them!
Ok from now on I’m calling a cam lobe a “pear drop” that’s it. It just makes sense. 👍
Thanks you two. I really enjoyed that and learnt a lot. Joe is an engineering ninja!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This rate of Training, you'll find Emily's going to have the bike all boxed up in the next couple of weekends...!
Shimming.. give me a rocker arm any day.. blessing with RE Himalaya.
Cheers Davey
Thanks for another great video. This reminds me of working on minis and metros with my dad who was a mechanic ( I didn’t become one, just a bicycle mechanic) . Really enjoyed watching and reminiscing 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your Mrs will leave Freddie for dust when it comes to knowing how an engine works.👍
The mop in my closet leaves Freddie in the dust when it comes to knowing how an engine works 😁
@@dirkdiggler5164 😄😄
I've got to give you a tip of the hat. Looking for camshafts being installed misaligned would've been one of the LAST things I would've suspected and checked.
Great job, hope Freddie brings you back a nice present from India for all your hard work. Well done really informative video.
Thank you very much!
❤ Lady Wurks 😂
This is the best engine video I’ve seen by far man. Congrats!!!
Hi, were going to need some cake after this ? Great work , relax and put the kettle on . Thanks for your video . Freddie will ride the Bonnie again .👍👍
This bike is going to be the best condition it's ever been in freddie's ownership and possibly it life
Nice one Joe...keep on spannering I'm sure Freddie is very appreciated in your dedication to his repair....😊
When I did the valves on my 2006 Bonneville the first time I was off by a decimal when I ordered the shims... so after I put them in the bike the numbers were all out of whack. I had to order new ones with the correct numbers. It's a lot easier to do check and adjust valve clearances on my 60's Triumph.
Great stuff.
Thanks!
Outtake valves and funky smelling oil . Brilliant 😂. You must let your glamorous assistant do the first start being as how she's done the important stuff 👍
Joe Emily Can put most apprentices to shame, love it.😂
She certainly can!
