I had two C15's, the first one rattled like a biscuit tin full of ball bearings, the second was a brand new one. I kept it in the green house, come the morning all I needed to do was just touch the kick start and up the engine would run, until I dropped a valve in ! The repair man suggested I put an SS80 cam in, which I did and it did make a difference to performance. Then I joined the Army and had to pay the HP company to take it back ! I could not afford the payments on £3.26p a week as a boy soldier until the man service began at the age of 18 ! (Sorry too much information) I loved that bike :)
Tony that is such a sad story. You could always relive your youth! And get hold of a C15. I couldn't afford a C15 when they were sensible second hand prices. By the time I could afford a bike other things were around and I bought a CZ250! Different but still fun. I'm now living my dream!! Thanks for the story
@@hughferrier5837 You are very generous :) I made up for it later when I got myself a lovely A10 Super Rocket in 1972. Then further up the road to 2000 I got a VFR 750cc with twin swing arm. Now I run a CBR1100xx Super Blackbirrd that I've put some 80,000 miles up on it and have absolutely no excuses whatsoever as to owning something like this at the age of 75 ! Except of course that I love it to bits :) Happy ending :)
Way back in the black and white days when it was all Peace, Love and "Far Out Man" the C15 was the first bike i ever rode I had 3 in total and they all leaked, Good times, Thankyou for taking me back.👍
Steve the black and white days were also the good old days. Owning my C15 is pure nostalgia. I couldn't afford one at the time and when I had some money it was Checkoslovakia or Japan that I had. This was a wee retirement treat to myself. My first British bike. Glad to have taken you back.
Lovely. I spent a week in Lairg and the following week at Bridge of Orchy a few years back, went around the whole coast of the Highlands pretty much. The roads up there are what motorcycles were made for. A shame that modern life is having such an impact on the wild places we have left
Andy I pass through Lairg a lot and I love the chip shop there. The roads are just made for a C15. Going out to Crask and onto Altnahara has been trashed by the eco-so-called-warriors. I would say they are trashing the Highlands.
I love the fact that you ride that bike! I am planning on doing the same with my B25 when its complete! Thanks so much for the videos! They are very inspiring!
Definitely not too long Hugh. Your videos are a delight and I enjoy wandering through the lanes on the C15 - with just the right amount of VoiceOver (you could send me to sleep with a good book).. It's a joyous way to enjoy the scenery for me and wind down without getting saddle sore! One small observation, speaking as a musician, the music is slightly too loud compared to everything else and also I wonder at times when you use music, if just the noise of the sound of the wind is sufficient to convey the atmosphere. Keep doing these, they are marvellous.
Hello Tom and thank you so much. I will reduce the volume of music a bit. I would like you to hear the wind but it is too much and the sound very distorted. It is really a roar on the original tracks. Thanks for the advice.
Hi Tim, that is kind of you. I may do one more film before the C15 season is over. I will not take it out once they salt the roads. I've seen that in October! Also it takes a lot longer to make the film than it does to do the trip! Best wishes, Hugh
Frank, I appreciate the encouragement. I am so aware of the privilege of living where I do. I love the C15's sound, maybe a bit noisy for these lovely quiet roads.
The c15 was my first unofficial bike , ie I was underage and hid it in a friends house and brought it out when my parents went out. Got caught and bike had to go but when 16 I got my first official bike a bsa bantam bushman ie trail version. Great wee bike. Thks for sharing your experiences
Wonderful scenery to ride a motorcycle, my views are in sympathy with yours with regards to Wind Farms a definite blot on the landscape promoted by these eco numpties, thank you for making the videos, regards, Colin.
Thank you Colin. It is country made for motorbikes and better on a smaller one. Our Highland wild country is being ruined by these windfarms. It makes wild places seem less remote.
magnificent - looks a great cycling route as well. And yes I understand your dislike of the wind farms scattered uphill and down dale- you never see them in the Cotswold's, guess too many with influence live there
@@rodneystacey1155 It would be quite a long cycle! Better with an engine in it. It is one of my favourite trips out on the C15 or my scooter. Thanks for the comment.
Nice little video Hugh. I completely agree with you regarding windfarms, my wife and I do that journey 5 or 6 times a year upto Bettyhill and that particular windfarm Creag Riabach really irks, the planners that allowed that should be ashamed.
Hi; Where is the gearbox oil drain weep hole? I am wanting to fill mine but wondering if there’s a way I know ive got the correct level? Or is it a case of just fully draining and adding the recommended amount?
Hello Tommy. If you look underneath the engine at the oil drain plug for the gearbox, it looks like two bolts one inside the other. The smaller one in the centre of the large is your oil level. If too much oil is added it will dribble out that. The drain plug has a pipe extending from it inside the gearbox maybe 1 1/2 inches long. The smaller screw is tapped into that. That's what it's like for early C15s. I think more recent ones have a dipstick on the filler.
@@hughferrier5837 Hi Hugh, Will it automatically drip out or do I need to take undo something? Slightly confused. Do I need to undo the inner nut and then add gearbox oil and once it begins to weap it’s full. Or do I just add gearbox oil and once it’s full it’ll weap naturally until at the desired level?
@@tommythorpe2022 Sorry I didn't make that clear. Yes undo and remove the inner smaller bolt. Fill with oil from the top via the hex filler plug on the top at the back right side of the engine casing until it starts dripping out underneath. There is a lag as the oil slowly fills the spaces in the gearbox.
@@hughferrier5837 Hi When undoing the inner nut. Will the oil stop leaking out once its got rid of the excess oil? Or will it continue to empty? Reason I ask is I topped mine up and it’s seeped out a full mug full….
@@tommythorpe2022 Tommy sorry I've been away a wee while. If I was you I would take the complete drain plug out to make sure the 1 1/2 inch pipe is still there and has not been snapped off. If it is there then the gearbox can only empty to the top of that pipe. Hugh
A cute little nuclear reactor! I see no problem with fossil fuels. One of my pals who graduated in Chemistry with me who was much better than me says CO2 is not even a greenhouse gas. I trust no one. The wind farms ruin our hills. Thanks again Peter.
Hello Hugh, Thank you I thoroughly enjoyed this journey with you. I feel I must get a camera to record mine in NZ ON my Triumph Trophy Trail that I also bought for travel in my retirement. The music was great. Can you tell me what camera you use? Yes and unfortunately we have these wind farms here as well polluting the scenery These machines kill a lot of birds. Because although they appear to move slowly, the tip of the blade is moving very quickly and the birds 🐦 get hit.
Hello Bruce and a big thank you for that. The Triumph Trophy Trail is quite a bike. Go for some NZ videos of it. I do everything cheaply - my classic British bike is about the cheapest you can run! So my camera is not a Go-Pro but a cheaper Chinese action camera purchased from Amazon! It is a COOAU 4K UltraHD and cost about £50 two years ago. It is OK. The sound is very weak and I have to amplify it a lot on Openshot which is the video editor I use. The picture quality seems fine and I chop it down a lot using ffmpeg before uploading to RUclips. I use my mobile phone for side of the road shots and for panning the countryside. I am no expert. I am not very artistic. As to windfarms! Once I get going. Our countryside and our hills have been ruined by our Scottish Government's green policies. As well as that its a con. By the time you calculate the energy required to build all the roads, extract the raw materials, erect and maintain the windfarm, transport the turbines, etc - you will never get that amount energy back from it. Sorry for the rant.
Loved this video, as I did all the others Hugh. The scenery is breathtaking and so remote. I live in the North Pennines and so 'remote' is familiar territory, but it is not as remote as Loch Naver and that road you travelled. I am wondering, if the gearbox oil is leaking internally, is your oil tank level rising correspondingly as you top up the gearbox? Neat trick using 20-50 in the box, so it is compatible with the engine. How often do you change the oil in the engine Hugh? Back in the day, I shudder to confess that I never changed my c15 engine oil, reasoning that it leaked out so fast that it changed itself. Foolish fellow! Of course the particles and sludge didn't leak out did they?
Hello Tony and thank you. I am very fortunate. Northumberland is a lovely county. We have had many holidays in the Yorkshire Dales and passed through on the way. Barnard Castle is a favourite town to visit. My last uploaded video is about trying to deal with an internal gearbox oil leak. I have replaced the main shaft bush. I change engine oil between 1000 and 2000 miles. I'm sure your engine leaked the particulates and sludge as we'll. The are lovely bikes but almost impossible to get oil tight .
I'm guilty for going for a drive just to go along the Loch Naver road. I used the excuse of taking my dogs for a walk along Melvich beach on the north coast. Looks like it would be a completely different experience on the C15 though.
Hello Sol lovely to hear from one of my old pupils. Why did you get dogs?! You should have bought a C15. They only leak oil. The North of Sutherland is amazing country. We always had similar interests, well apart from dogs! Take care.
@@hughferrier5837 Your C15 looks great and I bet it is after your rebuild, I do have a Motorbike but it's dirt bike so wouldn't want to ruin the peacefulness up in Sutherland. Also I've not got a license so the police probably wouldn't enjoy it either haha
I had a c15 myself, great bike ,not fast but got me from point a to point b.never broke down...I used to ring the nuts out of it ! , the old girl was good for 65 m.p.h two up.really wished I had kept her .
Andrew I am amazed at 65 mph! I am scared to go beyond 55 mph because of the awful noises of protest! Apart from needing to be topped up with copious amounts of oil It does seem to run reliably. They are fun bikes. There is someting special about them.
@@hughferrier5837 ,mine was the 250 starfire ,only real problem was the nut holding on the clutch cluster used to undo ,hence clutch none existant!!! , but after 10 minutes with the spanners good as new !......until the next time it came undone !. But it was just like an old donkey ...give her abit of love and attention and she would go on for ages .....i do miss her .
I Agree your videos are getting better, and I note your doing it on open source software. Two very very small points. Consider using a chest harness for your camera. Losing sight of the headlamp shell and handlebars gives one a sense of magic carpet flying. Secondly I fitted a two tooth larger front sprocket to reduce revs, increase the speed ( eventually ) it makes a much more comfortable cruising experience. Fantastic movie can’t wait for your next one. Ride safe all the best.
Hello Dave and thank you for your comments and advice. You have advised me before on using a chest harness. I tried moving from a top of the helmet mount to a chin mount but it still can't be low enough. It is not far above my chest. Maybe the camera should have a wider field of view. Dave, where did you pick up that front sprocket? Can you count the number of teeth for me? Does it improve fuel economy. I am getting less that 80 mpg which for a wee single seems a bit high.
@@hughferrier5837 I have put an 18t ( standard is 17 and 16 on the ss80) front but it is a little bit high for standard tuning imo. I have put on a bigger concentric carb which has greatly improved the performance and allows more revs in third but might not be the best idea of you have a plain bush big end.
@@tombobb Thanks for that advice. Everyone with a C15 seems to have a different opinion! You would expect BSA to get the gearing right for the average user. Maybe not, they certainly didn't get their engines able to hold oil!
@@hughferrier5837 apologies my friend. I’ve only just seen this. I’ve no idea on MPG owning 11 classics I simply top them up when required. A larger front cog will certainly improve your MPG. To what degree I’ve no idea. I went up two teeth from standard.
That is so kind. It's all about looks with my wee bike. I think it looks great but it just waits to let me down. Leaks oil like a watering can for oil. This year it fried all the LED bulbs fitted and the electronic ignition. An interesting wee trick. Glad it happened just a couple of miles from home. Thanks for commenting.
what a lovely ride, I'm intrigued that you seemed to put some gearbox oil in without removing the level plug, have you got a leak that you are sort of making a judgement on? or did you just not show removing the level plug on the video? I'm a C15 man myself by the way :) ruclips.net/video/rIr6fYua3MM/видео.html
I have a big leak from the gearbox. I wouldn't trust not topping it up on such a long run. If I go over the level a bit I'm not to worried. Thanks for commenting.
@@ianbonnick7640 Your right Ian. For years as a teacher we taught that it took more energy to construct a wind farm than could ever be obtained from it. It's a con. Thanks for commenting.

Go for it and use that B25. I hope it will hold its oil better than mine.
