Old motorcycles are there to be ridden ! My 1905 Triumph is, to my knowledge, one of two survivors to this type, and the only one on the road. To go out on it for a ride is such a joy !
Brilliant video, the use of selfiestick gives us a great view instead of the usual endless headlight and road ahead from other tubers marvellous thankyou.
Invest in a wind-screen for your cameras' mic. Common problem with these tiny, "electret" condenser mics. Very simple technology for 1905, no clutch, no transmission, no twist-throttle, direct belt-drive, etc. "De-compressor", in the USA we call it a "Compression release". I like how you pump the pedal crank to speed, then release the compression lever to fire the engine. Does not get much more basic than that. Very fun vid!
Thanks for your comments GereDG, much appreciated. The bike is really a joy to ride, and considering it is direct-drive, it is a very soft ride. This movie was one of my first (check my others ;-)), and I believe I only used my mobile phone. Have upgraded to a pocket camera now. Which has a noise-reduction function (which I have not tried though...🙂)...
It was absent when I bought the project, but I believe it is conform the original spec now. I was able to look at the only other survivor in the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull, I believe that one is totally original.
It runs because it's a simple machine. Now bike's have semiconductors and engines are really complicated, if you want speed and various sh*t you'll get more complicated machine.
Just imagine the thrill of riding this bike in 1905, you can almost count the explosions.
I love that gearing. Fires every second lamp post!
How cool was that? Love seeing and hearing your awesome ride! Amazing to have such an oldie still working! Thanks for sharing.
I had a 1928 Triumph TT, the one with the valve on the head.
Congratulations on the rare motorcycle.
Congratulations again for working.
Brilliant! Wonderful to see lovely old bits of kit out and about, instead of gathering dust in a museum!. Good on you!.

WONDERFUL BIKE! AMAZING! thank You!
I try to not get too interested, but I love these videos of old motorcycles. Thanks for sharing I ride a 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer.
check out the Antique Motorcycle cross-country run called Cannonball
Enjoyed That,,,,Thanks for sharing
I really fancy getting something older to play with. 40s and 50s bikes are very modern in comparison.
well done, really gave the feeling of what they were like
Love this bike! 😎
Imagine speeding thru places on this in 1905 only the well heeled need apply
Sweet, man. Very sweet. Sounds like 1912 all over again.
Great video, thanks for sharing !
Nice, thx for plating👍
Seriously old school. Lovely
I love the sound of two stroke engine! ☺️☺️

🤣🤣🤣
Komisch, ich würde mich eher trauen, so ein Motorrad zu fahren, anstatt einem modernen.
the wind sound sucks do a voice over or get a real mic.
Wow, primitive. 🙄😁
