Man I am always ready for a bike and a beer , bring it on. Here's a tip for washing your bikes. While it's on the stand spray off all the mud and crud then while the bike is wet spray the entire bike with a 50/50 mix of Simple Green , let it soak for a few minutes then spray it off. You now have a squeaky clean bike without scrubbing at all. Just be sure to dilute the Simple Green or it'll eat your paint and leave streaks on any aluminum surfaces especially the engine cases. I used to race motocross and I'd wash all my bikes like that. For new pegs you oughta get some of the new cleated motocross pegs. You'll have to modify some mounts for them but for a man of your talent that shouldn't be a problem. Good luck and keep the videos coming.
my first bike was a cub that i traded for a rifle in 1953.when i was 15 yrs..it was completely apart,my dad and i got it back together and it wouldnt start,we finally figured that we had the push rods in the wrong tappets,fixed that and rode it for years and had 2 others later..great little bike,also used a cub motor in a micro midget race car..im 85 now and still ride my husky 150 2t everyday,weather permitting..great video,wheelhouse
I got my 67 T100C a year and a half ago. I rode it for 6 months and maybe 500 miles before the Lucas ET system failed. I'd never heard of the ET before and am fascinated with factory magneto bikes (I also ride a 69 XLCH magneto Sportster). I was amazed that the 57 year old ET ignition lasted as long as it did--- a testament to the durability of these old bikes. The ET coils/condensers and wiring were all cracked and brittle and falling apart, and my Triumph Yoda replaced them with a Boyer set up. I ride the T100 quite often on my daily commute--- 70 mile round trip. It's a great in-traffic bike and a perfect lanesplitter.
THANK YOU for another great episode, Bill. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your riding videos are my favorite, but I also love seeing the details of what it takes to revive and maintain these classic bikes. And, yes siree, A Bike and a Beer episode is always welcome.
Sat here at San Fran airport waiting for my flight, that has been delayed for 2 hours, what a great way to spend the time, , watch another Wheel house show , I have had great time here C.A , But it time now to head Home , I even found a, 71 Husky 400 cr, .while on holiday here ,so have brought it ,and now shipping it back to the UK, Bill if you ever need parts for the Triumphs ,let me know , I am in the same town as NORTON Of Andover UK, it will save you paying Tax , keep those shows coming, I am going to order one of those great T Shirts, Thanks KIWI
Always ready for a bike & beer video especially showcasing that 67 T100c. You would love the Newark auto jumble here in the UK 🇬🇧 you’d need a big spare suitcase though..😉😁
Wheelhouse Garage Rocks ! Well done to you both at Biltwell just proves how capable these old Triumphs still are, best wishes from one of your fans in the UK
Cool! Bike and a beer is always good! Here in nor cal, there was a big AHRMA race over at the Burrow's ranch on the west side. Lots of Triumph's and BSA's and all sorts of great vintage stuff, more bikes and riders than they have ever had. This was about 2 weeks ago and was held on a huge MX/Scrambles grass track, everything was very wet and green. I rode my E Mt bike all around taking pictures, and of course talking to everyone I bumped in to. Lots of enthusiasts . Life long dirt bike fanatics.
Congratulations on the Builtwell! You guys kicked butt.. I could feel my spine every time you hit one of those ruts, I don’t think most people know how tough those old Triumphs are to ride off-road unless you’ve done it before .. I thought about taking my ‘67 for a “hot minute”.. but I’ve really got to change my rear shocks and get a bit taller set of handlebars.. also considering changing my pegs. Look forward to seeing what you come up with…
You need to re-route your throttle cable(s). Position the twistgrip so the cable is pointed towards the rear of the bike, then loop it through the gas tank tunnel. This keeps it behind the bars and out of harm's way. The last thing you need is to snag it on a puckerbush and go to full throttle in an instant right turn.
Hi Bill. If you're using the Amal 376 Monobloc then I think you'll find that BSA and Triumph also used them on their 600 Concentric carbs with a straight tube Air Filter Adapter. 71-2086, 70-4576, E4576 Hope this helps.
Fair play to you for hoisting both bikes up on the wooden lifts, you made it look like a piece of cake. Really enjoying seeing how passionate you are about these old Trumpets. Makes me want to get out more on my ‘70 T100C. Cheers from Putnam Valley NY.
Foot peg mount looks like it broke due to metal fatigue. Also, I would not chrome plate a foot peg mount. Chrome plating makes the metal more brittle. Yes, replace both footpeg mounts and maybe the ones on your cub w/ good quality pieces..
I really enjoy your Bike and a Beer videos on the old bikes having come from that generation. I inherited a 1978 1/2 Suzuki RM 250 from my brother, which had been buried in a shed for over 20 years. I got it running but parked it. However since watching your videos you've inspired me to fix it up. I also tried to purchase a couple of your shirts but unfortunately they are unable to deliver to my address.
Hello Philip! So sorry about the technical problem on the new website - I have now fixed it and you should be able to place your order. Thank you so much for your support!
Great channel, just found it. Looks like you still give them all a good workout and have a great time doing it. My father was into british bikes and growing up I remember him using his TR5MX as a horse to herd cows on our farm. I still got his 500 which is a great thumper. I got into Bristish bikes after his passing and in the last 5 years have 17 in my collection. Vintage racing with your wife, so great your a lucky man! save more British iron, cheers!
steel levers, yep. you leave the clamps loose enough for a little 'displacement' before stuff snaps, right? drift and a big 'persuader' to get the bushes out, then usual threaded stud and socket/washers to pull them back in. right on with alligator teeth folding pegs, did i not see somewhere a mod for desert riding that the peg mounted in a 3 point mounting sub chassis that utilised two mounting points of the primary / timing cover? mm does sound a little sketchy now i say it. desert racers used to route throttle cables over the top of the tank for that reason. whi;e you're fixing it, zip tie a replacement clutch cable to the one in use for quicker replacement, protect exposed ends with a tied on condom.
Cheers to both you and your wife 🍻..... the videos are great man, and if my Canadian dollar wasnt gettin its ass kicked so bad by the American buck, id be wearing some of your swag
Enjoyed the update, it is indeed time for an update to bikes and a beer. As regards to beer, if you're from Birningham, they pronounce it so it sounds like Beerminghum with the first syllable accented. Regarding t shirts I recently purchased a short sleeve and a long sleeve t shirt from him, they are quality heavy weight t shirts. Any chance of a serious Norton P11 ride? That and a '95 Triumph Daytona Super III are the only Brit bikes I own at the moment.
I'll second the comments on a bike and a beer, and make a request: Could you please fix the audio, I usually listen with headphones, and you only come through the right channel when you are speaking. The problem is I am partially deaf in my right ear, so I turn it up, then your theme song comes through in both and blows my ears out. Thanks...
So sorry about the sound. I’m not quite sure how to fix that but I will definitely research it and see what I can do. Really appreciate you watching this channel every week!

It's warming up quick. Before you know it, you'll be parched! A bike and a beer would be wonderful 😀
A bike and a beer video for sure👍 it’s 10 o’clock in the morning Ohio time but what the heck, I’ll drink one with you LOL

Great overlay with the manual image!
Really enjoy the channel...keep up the good work !

Great episode Bill as I sit here with St Austell Proper Job IPA I think another bike and beer episode soon be great idea 😎
steel levers, yep. you leave the clamps loose enough for a little 'displacement' before stuff snaps, right?
drift and a big 'persuader' to get the bushes out, then usual threaded stud and socket/washers to pull them back in.
right on with alligator teeth folding pegs, did i not see somewhere a mod for desert riding that the peg mounted in a 3 point mounting sub chassis that utilised two mounting points of the primary / timing cover? mm does sound a little sketchy now i say it.
desert racers used to route throttle cables over the top of the tank for that reason. whi;e you're fixing it, zip tie a replacement clutch cable to the one in use for quicker replacement, protect exposed ends with a tied on condom.
The Part on the carb you want is called a Bellmouth
Ready for a bike and a beer from Socal, 1974 Husqvarna Mag Master

I run Domino forged alloy levers on my trials Cub and I have never even bent one, not for want of trying!
You are so cool man , thanks for your vids .
I rode one of the only OIF at Biltwell My foot peg broke and I had carb issues. Next time
Nice job!
Bike and beer definitely!
B441 and a beer 👍🏿
I had issues with my multiple Triumphs foot pegs and cabling. Bending, snapping, binding.
Glad to know, I'm not the only one
Ready for another bike and a beer 😅
Have you ever tried out a triumph tr5 mx? Wonderful bikes, the last iteration of the BSA B 50 MX.
See you and dad at the Quail next week?
Cheers! 🍻
Yea it’s time for a bike and a beer.
IIRC the gearshift rubber on the shifter side was torn up after last years race. Did it not get replaced? LOL
Yes bike and beer please 🙂
Where do you get those cool retro handlebars with the arced crossbar?
You can get good reproductions from Ace Classics London👍
Nice to see your shirts in stock but when I tried to order it said it couldn’t ship to my address.
Thank you for letting me know!
@@wheelhousegarage now it’s working. I was using PayPal. Thanks a lot.
the fun stops on a bsa 441 the first time you kick it,then it gets worse
Boss😮

My ''42 16H has really malleable footpegs. Drop it they bend, shove them in a vice and bend them back, Designed for war......
You left off the parts that were sore or broken on your bodies after the race!!
Haha you’re right!
