great sound love the bike wish my cb 500 sound like that

[NewYorkChelsea]

Nice bike and one with a proper sound! I used to have a V-twin where bits would drop-off all over the place.

Lunmad , also on my bike. I had the number 1 cylinder locked. Due to the valve open for several years. It was'nt bad enough to start from scratch. That turned out to be OK. I know the valve timing is ok. The valve ajustment at .002 Intake and .004.

a dot of fuel and back fire out the exhaust, No carbs on yet. T120R.

Do you have any advise for me at this time. You are a great tech, by the way. I watch you're vids over and over.

I hope to make one to send you soon. Cliff

[TheTwomuchfun]

Lunmad, I ask if you had the breaker point vid. I have a wonderful 65 with 4,532 true miles

I can't seem to get the timing correct. The man that built it was a true Craftsman. His Up grades are beyond my skills.

I purchased th timing tool . There are no timing slots in the crank to be found. Also is the point setting at the small magnet on the AU? The jugs were bored .325 and sleeved. Norton 11to 1 Pistons.

I'm soooo lost.

[CasBOscar]

Lol, did you pick up your mirror?

[lunmad]

Nope! gone forever CasBOscar It had not unscrewed but the back cracked off, must be them vibes :-D

[mac163]

hey buddy cant you read! it says slow on the corners! ; )

[lunmad]

Read what? ;-)

3rd gear corners, nice and slow :-D

[hisveggieness]

@mac163 Irish road markings say 'Slower' which is fair enough.

[lobalou]

The Sun Inn, camped up there since i was 6months old, for the bike trials. love to wake up to the sound of bikes streaming past.

[Nosteratees]

Enjoyed that vid. Thanks.

I've done that road many times in my Scooby but I've yet to take the bike up there. Having watched this I think I'll head up there next weekend. Hopefully the weather doesn't turn turdyballs.

[lunmad]

Cheers Nosteratees you should do it on your bike tis a great road! watch out for the "bobbies" are you localish to the area?

there is a cafe near Chop Gate "lordstone cafe" worth a visit. :-)

[Nosteratees]

I'm not too far away. Just in Norton. Me and my mate were going to have a pop up to the Lord Stones Cafe too.

That is the one at the top of Carlton Bank isn't it?

At least when I do the the Helmsley run I'll know where to beware of them manhole covers thanks to your vid!

[lunmad]

You are only ten minutes from me then :-) I live in amidst the steel and chemical works.

"lordstone cafe" coming from our end, is turn right as you enter Chop Gate and head towards Osmotherly,

If you take a look at my other vid

"Triumph and Harley lordstone cafe" it shows you the way, it is the same run as this one only turning off towards the cafe.

[eggmaninmotion]

buck inn. friendly to bikers.. and not much else

done for health and hygiene

[lunmad]

I have never eaten there! but they do serve a decant pint :-)

[mackybasher]

Ha! Excellent video! What a thrilling 10 minutes - had my heart thumping round some of those bends! My mate used to race his bog standard 1973 Bonnie at the old Croft autodrome against Jap plastic missiles, and even managed to lap a few of em'

[lunmad]

Glad you liked it macybasher! its one of my favorite roads. I see you have a few vids of Salburn by the sea some great roads round there to :-)

[Dclangers]

you need your mirrors for sneaky coppers when your a biker .....

[roadrash998]

Who needs mirrors anyway?

[lunmad]

lol

[Dclangers]

enjoyed that ride pity about your mirror !!!

[hornetobiker]

Nice ride m8. I've never ridden a Bonnie. What are they like to handle?

[lunmad]

It handles very well and is quite forgiving the suspension set up I have is quite solid!! and I do get bounced about a bit, it is also very light 365lbs(165.5)so has quite short braking distances for the drum brakes.

Glad you liked it m8.
