Very good video!!

Super 👍

Bien ,superbe travail 👍

Thanks for posting, I've found your videos very useful. You wouldn't happen to know the thread size and pitch of the sump drain plug at 5:52 would you? I changing oil and upon removal the thread is a bit iffy and I'd like to run a thread chaser nut down it before reinstalling... hopefully I won't have to grease up a thread chaser to tidy the sump portion. Cheers

A mechanical symphony to my ears! Thank you.

Thank you for these videos and imparting us with your knowledge! Also, a bit of humour! Cheers!

I just bought a 1971… phenomenal condition with only 6K on the Clock. Cost me $5K.

My jet block was in there so tight I cracked the carb body getting it out. Excellent videos!

I had the second 5 speeder off the production line and owned it for 31 years, it was not a Quaif box, the internals were triumph (in house) designed and the ratios for 4th and 5th were petty mismatched they changed the ratio's and brought out a (kit) for those that wanted to change . the two sets of gears were not interchangeable , I changed my oil pump to the trychoidal type and it transformed the oil supply , giving a cooler running engine in the process.

Hi there, I have been a huge fan of The Mighty Garage for many years now , your videos especially the sequential ones about repairs/maintenance, strips and rebuilds are superb being clear, precise and essentially informative.....I find them perfect and invaluable. My particular interest being the 850 Commando Mk 2A which has been in boxes for the last 45 years is now getting some long overdue attention . The frame and associated parts have been powder coated and the shiny bits re-chromed, any parts beyond restoration have been replaced with original new old stock and genuine parts where possible. I do have a question for you regarding the engine and gearbox casings, having looked in manuals, club forums and online I can't see any advice how to achieve the ' brand new ' look that your machines have. Are they painted or lacquered or bead blasted to get them looking so good ? I assume the fork yokes are painted as they deteriorated quite rapidly after bead blasting ( Scotland not being the driest places in the world ! ) Thank you for making the effort to produce such wonderful videos , the only drawback being that I spend more time watching them than working on the bike. Regards David Gregg

Used to warm hands on cyl head.

Bitchen lil cycle it rocks

I took off my throtle cable "needle" and placed it back in but for some reason when i start the bike it just keeps accelerating. Any idea of what it could be? A friend of mine told me the needle is installed wrong but i tried it over and over and still the same thing.

Norton days are always good days!

Mike lindo paseo gracias por mostrar esas hermosas motos.saludos a la distancia Rafa de mardel plata Argentina

Looks like a good day out, thanks Mike

What a glorious sound it really takes me back. I had one of these back in the 70s - the most enjoyable bike I’ve ever owned!

I used CLR many years ago, which seemed to strip the surface off the carburetor so any screw parts wouldn't fit together anymore, also left a white residue. About a year ago I used Simple Green, but that also left a white powdery residue. Did you experience anything like this?

Beautiful Nortons, I miss my 71 commando every day, and when I see your videos I kick myself all over again for ever selling it in 72, what an idiot I was.

turn left at 17:13 for BLM road with free dispersed campsites :) great for access to yachats and florence if you can grab a nice spot

That silver norton with the single seat is the best lookn norton ive ever seen

Isn’t there an oil filter or oil screen? Doesn’t the drain bolt need a new crush washer?

Nice ‘clutch’ of Nortons Mike. Yeh, weather is crap in Cambridge UK too……Global warming or what??

Beautiful bikes, Mike. Too bad about the weather. Some fellow members from the BMOC Okanagan are heading to Winthrop today, June 16.

Hey just an FYI, Coos Cycles shop in Coos Bay Oregon, Walt the owner just had me go through a red 850 mk3, it had been locked up and in serious need of electrical repairs, but she Snortin again and He's going to sell it as He's not a British bike guy,, He calls me. For Brit repairs..jeff

Hello Mike !!!!! magnifique vidéo et magnifiques bikes ,j’adore

Hey, Mike awesome bikes and awesome ride! Greetings from northern Germany Manfred

What fun! Thank you.

Nice get together, lots of very nice bikes. Good to see Moto Guzzi represented with the Coppa Italia. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Aaah a Tesla Truck....stainless panels... the best idea since DeLoreans stainless panels turned out to be a bad idea

Your air pump is better looking too.

The Norton seemed smoother going home . The young fella with the schwinn-chopper was a little different and daring , good on him ! Dave

You have nice vieos thanks. I would love to see and hear a descriptin of the changes//improvements from year to the next year, thank again

Good to see you’re not afraid to take the bikes out in the rain.

You can tell you've been in America a while " deepo " instead of depot 😂😂😂 some beautiful bikes and what a great community 👍👍👍

love the S model.

Your channel should carry a warning. I now have an insatiable urge to buy a Commando! 😍😛

Some nice bikes, but no "Red Atlas"?

great vid , one of your guys had a phil read rep lid no longer available uk do you know if still available in usa ?

A great turn out considering the weather, some lovely Nortons 👍

Very similar weather in the UK at the moment Mike. Everyone is waiting for the summer to arrive. Thanks for taking us along.

I really love watching your vids, because I am trying to revive my late Dad´s 650, but it makes me cringe when you bash the ratchet with a hammer or put drill chucks on a thread.

You have produced another excellent video thanks Mike. Good to see such a great lineup of motorcycles and so good to see the support from like-minded enthusiasts. Thanks for taking us along for the experience.

My Honda CB 750's sorely under represented at this event. You're easing me toward Norton's (the yellow was cool).

Tri-Spark has updated the Classic Twin ignition since Mike installed one on his Norton. This Classic Twin (TRI-0006) supersedes the Classic Twin TRI-0005A and TRI-0005B as the two A/B versions have been eliminated. The Classic Twin ignition stator unit TRI-0006 can be used as a replacement for the earlier versions, however the installation is different and you must use the installation manual for your version. See the Technical Page on their website for installation manuals.

I love the brit bike owner habit of keep looking at the engine to check no problems!😂

Do you have any videos on how to replace a Norton gas cap. I think it is riveted.

Silencers...not mufflers. Your English!

Umberslade Hall !!!!! Clearly evident the disastrous consequences of another monumental BSA group board decision.. employing Aerospace engineers to design motorcycles !!! Any fool with half a brain could see the seat/frame geometry was too high.. a side profile in the previous video highlights this all too obviously.. and as for thin tinplate rear light units and bent bits of wire for headlight brackets, don't even mention the seat retaining clip 😂😂😂😂 Oddly enough and all that having been said I still have an odd affection for these much maligned and criticised OIF 650s same goes for its equally unloved stable mate the A65.. and yes I've owned both .

Too much talking to me. Ride and trash 'em. That's what they were built for! Keep 'em on the road and alive! All the very best from Spain
