thats a lovely machine. Sad that its going to be locked away and not used and enjoyed how they were meant to be. I hope I can one day own something like that. I was lucky enough to get a shot on a 1925 Triumph last year and I enjoyed every second of it. The brakes were just awful and I couldn't even start the thing. It was a completely different riding experience - its not always about speed.

I notice the clutch on the superdream has been tied in? must be to stop clutch sticking? Will knacker the springs will that - keeping them under pressure.... I have never had a motorcycle clutch stick on me yet.....they are bathed in oil generally. So long as the oil is fresh when laid up, they wont stick. Had plenty of car and van clutches stick though - through rust on the friction material surface.

I have had a sd clutch stick but they are quite easy to free up, i thought it would affect the springs as well!

Its more chance of stretching the cable than damaging the springs. Its spring steel, it will always want to return to its original shape, the only way to damage them is with heat.

That looks stunning I can't imagine the work he put into it, but as has been said it's a shame for it to be locked away now.
