Credit where it's due: here's to Plewsey!

I must call everyone's attention to one of our newer members who has jumped in at full speed and posted many tech how-to videos that are just the kind of stuff this forum needs!

I know I speak for MANY here when I say...

THANX PLEWSEY!

Cheers lads
I'm glad people are finding them handy.
A bit rough round the edges, but seem to work
and all on a compact camera that cost me £40
Quite looking forward to a winter rebuild,
but there again, "if its not broke don't fix it!"

Plewsy posts are informative, helpful and ENTERTAINING! The videos are more than adequate and I know they take a lot of time and effort to create. Thanks, sincerely.

if it ain't broke it soon will be!

Plewsy - I work in video and couldn't be ar**d to do what you've done. As you say, the production values are rough around the edges but they do what they say on the tin.

What's better - 2 perfect videos or 10 that help people?

I'll just say that this forum is great!

I have little experience as a motorcyle mechanic and I recently obtained a 70 Bonnie and every time I visit triumphrat.net I find just the info I need.

The fuel tank looked pretty foul. What do I find? A video by Plewsy that shows just how to clean it.

I know the carbs must be fouled too. Plewsy video to the rescue. I couldn't believe how warped my float bowls were!

Tappet adjustment - Plewsy video.

This Plewsy fellow is like my Bonneville guardian angel!!!

I've also got great tips from pookybear, Grand Paul Z, NJTiger, 68TR6R, thirdbike, RetroRod, rowntree, KADUTZ... the list goes on.

Despite this expert advice and due to being able to devote little time to it, my bike still doesn't run but I am sure with the help from the good members of this form, she will once again roar to life. Can't wait for that!!

Best regards,

Henry

Everyone,

I shall agree with all on this topic. Plewsy has turned out to be
quite the treasure here on the Triumph Rat Forum. We are all
in debt to his hard work and advice.

Thank you so much Plewsy,

Pookybear
