    I presume that the steering design is changed from the bicycle??

  • @davidradloff4776
    @davidradloff4776Сағат бұрын

    Basically, the steering is the same, just heavier duty to cope with the increased weight. Also there is a spring arrangement at the top of the forks that was Triumph's idea to deal with the rough roads. In fact it just elongates the wheelbase and makes it like riding a greyhound dog!! 😮😊

    What's the lever you keep fiddling with do please?

  • @davidradloff4776
    @davidradloff47762 ай бұрын

    That is the gear lever. The bike has 2 primary chains and the lever operates clutches to engage either one or the other clutches. Unfortunately it slips a bit so I have to hold it in gear. Normally I use an inner tube rubber band around the gear lever and ignition advance lever behind it yo hold it in gear.

    The 1909 P&M was owned by the South Australian Agents and in 1934 took part in the a Rally. It was then sold in 1962 to an enthusiast that tidied it up but could not get it running. I purchased the bike in about 1999 and got it running but the timing gears were very worn and I was afraid the teeth might break off the gear so i made new gears. If you look at my channel you will see some other P&M Videos. Are you in Russia? kzread.info/dron/KJylkFof7Wpjf2KsELEneg.html Regards, David.
