- I attended the 2024 VMCC Taverner's Founders Day Rally at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire. Although I displayed a couple of the Power Set on the BSA Owner's Club stand (see separate video of the whole event), I'm also a member of the TR3OC and have produced this short vlog of their stand at the same event for Joy Lyon and the team.

Some great machines on display.
Yes there were Martin - and there were many more of the same in the club enclosure at the Mallory Bike Bonanza a couple of weeks earlier - see my separate video if you haven’t already. Thanks for the interest.
@@BSAPowerSet yes I’ve seen the Mallory vid. Another good one.👍
Now that is some Rocket III from george Pooley! Beautiful engineering and just goes to show what BSA/Triumph could have done back in the day.
That is just one of many of George’s creations that he shows and runs regularly. He brought his roller bearing crank triple to the Mallory Bike Bonanza and what a fantastic noise that made when fired up - see the separate video. Cheers.
Good group of bikes.
Yes I think so too Matt.
6:30 Converted to right-hand change. Well, hats off to whoever did that. Gear lever back in the right and proper place and gives the motor a much cleaner look.
Hi Dave yes indeed a very neat job. I also noticed afterwards that there’s no electric foot - I don’t see why that would be a consequence of a RH change. I then thought afterwards if it’s a T160 engine at all but I didn’t check the numbers at the time. No doubt Jim Lyon can reveal all. Thanks for the comment and interest.
I’ve got Jims electric starter on my T150V and yes he prefers right hand gear change.
@@joylyon5231 Thanks for clarifying Joy.
You asked for anecdotes. Considering I left BSA in1974 and have had ittle to do with them since, this might be common knowledge. Why are the frames grey and not silver? Why do Ariel 3 wheels have tack welds between the rim and hub? I can think of plenty of others as I had a free run of BSA/Triumph for a few years.
Great stuff Tony. The grey frame colour choice has been the subject of many publications and articles. Was it Al Cave that purchased ex MOD paint cheap to get production moving and reduce cost?
Would have been nice to hear them.
Agree Mark; however, I was busy on the BSAOC stand most of the day so missed Damian on the Hurricane in the ring. Thanks for the interest and comment.
Hi Angus , great video . I have a T160 V, and have applied to join the TR3OC , I applied some months ago but my status is still pending approval , this evening I once again applied (via FB) , I am guessing that you are possibly an official within the group , if so is there any traction with my approval, or can you possibly ask somebody within the group who may be able to assist with my joining please? I would love to be an active participating group member , Kind regards , Dave Curtis. ,,,,,,, P.s , I used to own a T140J , YOD 105S , I dont suppose it is my old bike you are restoring ?
Hi Dave thanks for the kind comment and interest. I'm not an official of the TR3OC but can point you in the right direction. Have you applied to join the club per se or just the FB group? The FB group is TR3OC members only but you should have received a response. Dougy Beardsall is the club's membership secretary. For any club enquiries, I would use the form on the website at www.tr3oc.com/contact-tr3oc-2/ - if you still don't get a response then give me another shout. Re the Silver Jubilee, it's not your old one unfortunately and we were contacted some time ago by the original owner.
Thanks , ahhhh that is why I have had no response on Fb 😂
I have just filled in thd application form via the link you have sent me so fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks for your help 👍
@@davecurtis2851 Cheers Dave no problem. Welcome to the club.
Pile of rusty junk what a shame
Indeed Bruce; however, the owner has parts and means to restore but not necessarily at the risk of losing the original stickers/labels etc. I know the feeling - what a dilemma.
