    Brilliant video Gents! Thank you. Alan, Alec, Chris - great info and insight about a cool era of motorcycling. The 1929 Peugeot that you guys got running for me is still rolling! She was pretty much flatlined when you got her. You really did live up to the name Revival! Not exactly a Brough, but Revival did an astounding job, fabricating bespoke parts, sourcing arcane bits and pieces all with a great sense of craft. They are a great team. Hats off!

    i like the machines with the dollar signs on the heads. i know it was not intended. but i notice it. the wealthy people have these machines now as the dollar sign is important today. i support this as i realize it is not cheap to restore and maintain some machines. i applaud those with the ability . to restore and save machines

    Motorcyclists back in the day must have been much more engaged with their machines and mechanically minded than today, can you imagine a rider today remembering to regulate the oil supply, 95% of the machines would have seized big ends and pistons within the first week of ownership.

    I love seeing this bike whenever I have attended a Gearhead Sunday at the shop. Can't wait until we can do those again. Until then, I appreciate the content which is most interesting an informative. Broughs are perhaps the most most beautiful motorcycles of all time. I grew up going ga-ga for Harleys, but always rode Japanese stuff and have an affinity for many 60s-70s era bikes from the Big Four. I ended up buying dual sport and adventure bikes...boring to look at, I know. What I like to ride is completely opposite to what gets my blood pumping in excitement which are classic British motorbikes. Imagining myself blasting down a country road in the English Countryside is a transcendent experience!

    Bikes are Bikes, some have soul and others don't..... If you have to machine some parts to keep these going then who cares, the purist are a tad boring. Seeing these old bikes running is what it's all about. Keep up your great work please.

    Why do Americans think changing this lovely piece of history into some kind of bobber is a good idea, if it ends as it usually does with this lot it will be crap
