If they were, as you claim, Whitworth, that didn't alter
the fact that my
metric and SAE tools fit them acceptably well. Hell yes,
I did my own work.
A poor flattracker could barely afford lunch, let alone a
technician to work
on his ride.


I, along with many of my friends have owned / ridden /
wrenched on many a Triumph / BSA / Norton and none of us
ever had ''Whitworth tools''.

BB is an idiot!

He's the type of know-it-all whom we all avoided like the plague. Funny
how
that still applies.

Sounds like a good plan for remaining an ignorant know-nothing.

The difference was we knew what was required, and we gained that knowledge
from experience. You know "everything" (nothing of particular use or
importance) and you got it all from reading some magazine or book.

When you are wrestling a motorcycle through a muddy, severely rutted turn on
a track, hoping the guy below you doesn't chicken out and blow into your
line to escape, you really don't give much of a **** about Whit-whatever
tools and whether BSA ever made a 440. Losers like you sat in the stands.
