The sound of 67'

[aleonet100]

So many people, myself included, want to get their new Bonnevilles to sound like and old Bonneville. Well, if you wanted something to match the sound to, this is how it sounded in 1967. Just a quick and dirty video while the bike is tuned well. All original stock with a few grinding gears thrown in.

If i want to hear what one sounded like all I do is go to my buddy's garage and start his 67 or 69 or one of his other magic machines :up:

nice link, thanks
I heard that for 100 miles + yesterday when i took my T140 out for a spin
the heat finally broke and the bike ran flawlessly
or I could run the 65 BSA Thunderbolt but now I'm just boasting

Boast away. It's such a blast when you get the old bikes running well. A completely different riding experience.
