British Bikes / Hot starting problem
« on: June 22, 2015, 06:31:45 PM »
My 1957 Thunderbird starts great when cold but when the engine is hot it just does not want to know. I tried a plug change but no difference. There is a good spark and compression.

British Bikes / bike size
« on: April 26, 2015, 11:19:12 PM »
as a newby I am enjoying my 57 Thunderbird and thinking about a bigger bike but not too sure if I could handle the size.
I am interested in a Honda Deauville but at 70 years old am I being too optimistic. I am 13st and 5ft 10in

Thanks guys.
I never realized what a reseviour of knowledge there is out there. I finally found my bike a 57 Tbird and the clutch is manageable just.
All I want now is to inquire about the fuel being a novice to bikes.

I have just bought a 1957 Tbird and would like to know is it advisable to use a lead additive to the petrol.

Tank you 33d6
It seems a bit of a minefield. I will just have to view a number of bikes to get some idea. Today I tried a 1962 T110 which was easy to operate compared to a 69 Bonny I saw last week so I guess its a case of try before you buy.

British Bikes / clutch advice needed
« on: November 09, 2014, 04:09:27 PM »
Having just passed my test at the age of 70 I am looking for either a BSA or Triumph to use weekends. Problem which most old uns have is I am looking for a bike with a easy to operate clutch, arthritis problems.
Any ideas guys
