When real men smelled of engine oil cigarettes and brill cream

[RacerX74]

Old video of how they used make Triumphs when life was black and white

I notice a lack of a torque wrench and health and safety




Great Facebook page full old bike related videos if you have some time to kill

( if you don't know what Brill cream is your to young and shouldn't be on the internet without supervision )

If you ran out of brill cream you could always use fat from the chip pan or even butter(non salted kind)

Lack of safety and health

But probably a lot less accidents back then, now a days with all the pot heads WHU fans and tranys running around the last thing they are thinking about is health and safety.

I am a Vitalis man.

Ah yes, been quite a while since I’ve used Vitalis or Brill cream.

Title of this thread reminded me of the pic i have of my Dad and his mates in the early 60's , he's the one on the far left

Maybe I'm just tired, but I often think I would have enjoyed growing up in that time period more than this one. Was life as insanely busy back then as it is now?!

 

[BillyIndiana]

Oh life was grand back in the day

I wish my Touring had been put together by those skilled workers rather than the hamfisted baboon who assembled my gearbox costing me $3000 in parts and total disillusionment (that's a big word)
