Welcome to Craig's channel. Known internationally as an "unconventional" mechanic and slightly moronic, I've built some of the most famous motorcycles in the world. Perhaps even the universe. Follow along as we take the motorsports world by storm in-between coffee breaks.

Sean!! I started watching Motorcycle you tube videos during Covid. Bought a Harley and rode cross country! Can’t wait to do it again! Sean, Yammie, Craig, ShadeTree, Doodle, and Jess! And Tim and Ellie Rains! Thanks to Jeff, Frank and Kyle for getting me on a bike!
Miss my 1980 CX500. Bought at 17,000 miles, added another 20,000 no problems. Took me 4 months to get it on the road, thanks to CX forums and Murry's Carbs.
Mientras más veo videos de este man pienso q no es más q un ignorante de como daña hermosas máquinas q guardan historia esta moto por ejemplo es una hermosa pieza y este cabernicola la mando al basurero
Wish I was still driving down to visit a friend in WestChester, PA. You guys rock. Tho, would be too far for me to ride my bike (live around 1.5 hr n/e of Toronto, Canada) be great to try and meet up and have a couple wobbly pops. Enjoy this channel, thanks and keep up the great vids!
Thoroughly enjoy your videos, love the constant commentary and explanation. Do struggle some days translating from US to UK; Triple clamps are Yokes, Wrist pin is a Gudeon pin, Spring clip is a circlip!. I expect you know but a suggestion for the fork legs, crack to bottom bolt loose before taking the pressure off the fork springs. Sometimes the spring pressure will stop the internals spinning whilst the bolt comes undone. Cheers thoug, realy enjoy your vids.
I learned that concept of "You make your money when you buy it" when I was fooling with horses. It was always good to go look at a horse where the owner didn't use good techniques in saddling or other handling of their horse. When the horse acted up the price came way down. Re-training those horses was pretty easy as they generally wanted to please their person. Watching this video makes me miss my FJR-1300. When I moved to the desert I knew I couldn't keep a faired sport touring bike at my place ten miles up a rough dirt road.
Watching this video brings back so many memories of my 98 Smokin Joes. I regret selling it now since it has become a bit of a collector piece. The biggest issue I had with that bike was where the R/R was located. It would over heat and I was replacing it almost yearly.
