I love the simple but oh so robust construction of BSAs - they really were built so well . . . After all of these years, simple cleaning, checking and lubrication is all that is required - BSA quality !! . . .
Greetings from Lancashire! Thanks for all your great videos of 2023 and all the best to you n yours for 2024.
The best part and soul of BSA had to be the model names.
You have incredible patience Mike.
You're the Bob Ross of vintage bikes Mike, happy New Year
🎨 😀😀 Thanks very much. Happy new year!
very relaxing watching you work on this great looking bike .
Thank you so much!
I'm on my first BSA restoration and your videos are a great help!😊
Many thanks Jeffrey for your note. Glad you enjoyed the videos and good luck with your project! Best wishes.
I'm always surprised how well the front brake works on my 1965 BSA A65, despite being only 1/2 hub width.
So proper linings, and set up well, your full width hub should be a fine "anchor".
Keep well.............
You're giving that bike some much needed TLC. I'm doing a similar job on a neglected Triumph I picked up recently. I'm not as meticulous as you are but I'm doing what needs to be done to make it ride better and look a little nicer. I wish I was local, it would be fun to have a bike featured on In the Cul-de-sac.
I too would love to visit the cul-de-sac with my one owner Guzzi LeMans 1000 if only I was local.
Happy New Year, Mike! I’m looking forward to seeing some great bikes in the cul-de-sac! 👍🏻
Hub look really good. This Bike is one of My favorite's that I have seen in Your video's. That is saying a lot because there's a ton of great Bike's in Your content. This one is modded a bit but very tastefully modded not over the top. 👍👍
A scary moment when you tapped that pivot shaft in slow motion… I thought “watch that thing roll all the way to Tigard.” Happy New Year and thanks for sharing.
I'm more a Norton specialist, but that looks like an 8 inch single leading shoe front break. From memory my mate in the 70s replaced that with a TLS from the Rocket Gold Star, which he reakoned compared to the first disk breaks on say a Sueuki 500. I was with Norton, and on my Atlas Café racer I had the Norton TLS. Honestly it was a spongebag. Norton brought out a kit to stiffe'n up the TLS levers. They didn'tadvertise it that would be admitting... I went radical. I bought a twin 8 inch custom hub off of a sidecar racer. Built a new wheel round it THEN after assembly skimmed both sides to exactly round. Then mounted Ferodo Green racing linings to both sides and machined them exactly round to match the hubs. Now the green linings do not give instant bite. but they were x2. Those linings resisted break fade under stress. Norton experts like >Mick Hemmings said I was stupid, the weight of that front wheel spinning was going to mess up the handling. Maby it did I'm not that good. However THE PIG STOPPED. Later Norton added Twin Disks, with with a wooden feel and just as heavy. Honestly if you have an SLS 8 inch break, assemble then skim. Fit new shoe linings, not racing. Machine them to match exactly the skimmed wheel. Assemble and it will work 50% better than when it went out of the factory and leaves your bike completely standard
Hello Mike ! Season greetings and happy new year 2024! I like watching your videos every sunday morning (GMT time in Europe). I am amazed by all your knowledge your skills and passion for restoring and maintaining all your classic motorcycles. You not only spent time working on them, but you ride them. You don't own them just for display purpose. It makes your channel the most interesting for me. I wish I had yourskills, tooling and more room in my garage to perform mechanic work myself on my bikes. Keep on good work and ride safely !
Happy new year! Miles of smiles… Peace….
Happy New Year 🎉 Looking forward to seeing more classic bikes!
Many thanks for your note. Me too, I’m looking forward to seeing some interesting bikes in the cul-de-sac! Best wishes, Mike.
Superb video as always. Happy New Year to all.
Happy new year Mike , can't understand why you don't have more subs , i love your channel .
Hi Mike
Great work as always.
You likely have already done this, but if not, you might want to check the wheel for true.
I was thinking today of all the things I've done to date to reduce vibration on my 650ss, which was quite horrible for vibes when I first got it.
I happened to check the wheels, which were new chrome Devon rims and ss spokes all supposedly laced up at a mc shop in Ontario.
The rear was out of round by over 1/8" and the front was only slightly better! Side to side was out as well. Trueing the wheels got rid of much of the really harsh vibration.
I realized today that I have not yet done this with the Super Rocket.
Hi Glen, thank you very much for the great advice. I will definitely do that while the wheels are still loose. The tire place balanced them, but they would not have trued them up, so definitely worth checking, thank you. Happy new year! Best wishes.
Happy New Year! Lovely series. Maybe you know this, but there are special nuts for the rocker covers that are easier to get at, and look nice.
Cheers Mike and happy New Year! Your BSA is coming along great BTW!
Once again there were no hidden surprises, a good clean & inspection prior to reassembling certainly gives you peace of mind for the future 👍
Many thanks for all your efforts in bringing the garage & bike content over the last year.
atvb to you & yours for 2024 .. t .. 😉.. 🏍
Happy New Year Mike! I better get busy and finish my '68 bonnie winter project to find this fabled cul de sac. Thank you for all of your efforts to bring these wonderful hours of enjoyment and learning!😁
A Grand New Year to you and your family Mike! I’m intrigued by your approach to Dynamic Preservation. Careful and thorough dis-assembly, inspect/clean/polish and repair or replace only what’s needed.
This has been my approach for many years. Very time consuming but the results are well worth the efforts!
BTW, nice Dales Wheels Through Time green shop towel on the bench.
Regards, Mick
Happy New-Year too Mike ! That bike has good-bones , great to see it getting the-Birthday it needed ! Dave
Happy New Year!
Happy new year, Mike! I love to see more of your videos in 2024! Greetings from northern Germany Manfred
Thanks for another relaxing episode Mike…..All the best to you, your family and biker friends for 2024. From Cambridge UK 🇬🇧🍷
Hola Mike, feliz 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hola! Many thanks for your kind note. Best wishes for 2024!
The Mothers is great for polishing but that Quick-Glo you have is really good for getting rust off a chrome or metal part. I was trying to find another container of that stuff recently because mine is almost empty and kinda dried up... but I don't think they make it anymore. Wish I had known, I would have stocked up.
Happy New Year looking forward to all the great content. I do enjoy the visits with the look at as someone's ride. The Rocket content is great can't wait to see it back together. Cheer's. 😎👌
Mike, thanks for this channel and all your efforts with it! Happy New Years!
Many thanks for your great comments. Happy New Year’s to you too! Best wishes, Mike.
Happy new year. Looking forward to what's in store in 24
Thanks for a great year Mike and Happy New Year! Looking forward to 2024! I may have a couple cul-de-sac visits to coordinate with you in the coming year!!
Happy NewYear Mike ! Another nice video. An alternative method for removing rust out of a tank is citric acid mixed with water. Let the tank sit for one or two days, Drain it and slush it with acetone to get rid of the rest of the water. After drying I use a one component tank sealer and let the tank dry for at least one week.
You do good work, Mike. Thanks for all the 2023 videos. Happy New Year from the Heart of Dixie! RTR
Happy New year!
Mike, happy New Year!! I’ll keep watching in 2024!
Happy New Year Mike. Thanks for all the great vids. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings to the Mighty Garage ;-)

Mothers is good stuff!
I you want to see later BSA engine disaster (A65) have a look at Paul Henshaw's Performance Classics channel on RUclips. Leg out of bed.
Thanks Richard, I will take a look. Cheers, Mike
In review of the front wheel video, you changed the tyre. Did the shop balance and check true? We have been replacing spokes more on recent rebuilds because we are seeing broken spokes. Have you considered spoke replacement?
Thanks Robert, Cycle Gear definitely balanced the wheel, because they added some weights, but I don't think they check for true. My friend has a wheel stand and so I'm definitely going to check before refitting. Cheers
Hi and thank you! I couldn’t make out the brand name on the polish you used to clean the rims? Could you let us know what it is? Thx!
