Can I Teach This Girl To Fix A Harley Motorcycle Without Breaking It? 

Craig makes for a great teacher, always love seeing Doodle trying new things too!

Can't believe how good of a teacher Craig is. Never laughs at her for not knowing something that a mechanic would consider basic. Never gets frustrated or impatient with her while she works her way through things. Never gets mad at her for making a mistake. These are all exceptionally rare qualities in mechanical instructors!

My Dad was Heavy Equipment Operator/mechanic for 40 years.When I worked with him he taught me.Put down a clean white rag,then lay them as they came off in order,then get up and kick the rag. Now your a mechanic

His patience is outstanding and the education of this video is priceless.

"We're gonna use the German torque setting. Guten tight" HAHAHAHAH that was beautiful!!!!

The key “open hand” knuckle buster prevention tip has my approval.

Craig is such a dad,it was like watching a father daughter bonding.nice video.

The more I see, the more I like Craig. Everyone needs to have a friend like him and be a friend like him

I’ve seen a lot of RU-vid collaborations, I think this is by far my favorite. I’ve watched all of Craig’s videos as well as Doodle’s videos and she never ceases to learn everything motorcycle related and who better to teach her motorcycle maintenance than Craig. Awesome collab. Hope to see more of this😊

I am 2 minutes into this video. I am convinced she knows more about repairing a bike than Sean. Keep up the good work!

Doodle, On the righty tightly, lefty loosy goes, think of the face of a clock while looking down on the head of the bolt. On the clock face start at the 12:00, moving toward the 1:00 is right, toward 11:00 is left. Doing your own maintainence is very satisfying, your sense of accomplishment greatly increases your confidence in your abilities. Just as you have done learning not just to ride but took lessons from people that can help you improve your riding.

Wow...Craig, Doodle, Sean and Dan in the same video... So cool! RU-vid mashup is a great idea. Love to see more mashups. Good job Doodle learning how to turn some wrenches... Great investment that will pay off forever with motorcycles, cars, houses, etc. Definitely you should carry at least a few tools on your bike if you're doing long trips. I've had battery cables become loose while in a long trip with my wife that prevented the bike from starting; stranding us at a gas station. Using a Leatherman Wave multi tool I got the seat off, tightened the loose battery cable bolts and we were on our way. God bless. Hope you have a good and safe trip on that Harley and your police training goes well.

Actually, I don't think the blown gasket was too much nitrous, but, too much Sean. .. 🤣.

Your a good teacher Craig...... we won’t discuss the dance moves

It’s so good to see him passing his knowledge on. It always makes me happy when I find a younger person interested in wrenching and I’m always MORE than happy to teach them what I know and have learned in the last 30+ years of wrenching. Too many younger kids are just lazy and have no interest in being self reliant. They’d rather just pay somebody to work on their vehicles. It’s truly sad that there’s a HUGE chunk of the younger population that can’t even check their oil or change a tire. Or hell even drive a manual transmission.

Craig is a great teacher and really patient. Doodle seems really nervous about riding a bike she’s seen taken apart. Remember, all bikes started off apart.

Fair play to her for actually getting involved. I’ve seen this before where the Craig of the scenario loses patience and takes over or the student gets bored/overwhelmed and gives up. I don’t mind if anyone isn’t capable of doing anything as long as they give it a good try at least once.

2 of the NICEST MOTORCYCLE RU-vid'ER'S that have ever graced the Internet!! God bless y'all Doodle and Craig🙏😁🤠

This is an awesome example of craigs teaching and mechanic abilities. Doodle is an awesome bike girl, there are definitely some out there that do it for clout but shes awesome trying out new things. Craig is probably one of my favorite bike people ever.

LOL, Harley 007 mechanic "0 motivation, 0 skills 7 smoke breaks" , great to see collaboration with Doodle.

She’s a joy! Noodle,I hope you got back ok. Good job!

The best part of mentoring another is being there when "the lights go on." Doesn't hurt having such an enthusiastic student.

Doodle’s enthusiasm and willingness to learn from Craig’s amazing teaching skills was a joy to watch.

I love the genuine enthusiasm and interest she had working on the bike. Puts a smile on this self taught backyard mechanic.

This was an amazing video! Carol is so fun to watch when trying new stuff. Great teaching job Craig... This will be something she will never forget! Awesome!

Ah, what a lovely installment. I wish I had someone to teach me how to maintain my sporty. I still take it to the dealership. Craig is a great teacher.

Always good to hear Sean narrate Craig's videos. Like the good Ole days

2 content makers from 2 channels (of which I'm subscribed to both), whom I never thought would do a collab, fixing a bike that Sean broke.. Doodle and Craig, I love you guys.. both of you.. Doodle, when I learned about fixing engines it change the way i drive and ride completely.. it's not just about turning the throttle.. it's what happens inside the engine when you twist the throttle that actually matters.. much respect to you my sister.. it's not anyone who would try to learn this kind of thing.. it costs guts.. and Craig, my brother, the way you teased Doodle, i wish i had a teacher with such a sense of humor.. then I would probably have learned better.. you are a great guy for doing that for her.. cos understanding engines makes you actually drive and ride with more caution. Much respect you brother.. Great episode guys.. I love it.. thanks..

I truly enjoyed this video. Good job, Doodle and Craig! I remember starting to wrench Harleys at a dealership in 1989, and I felt like I was workin' on giant jewelry. I knew how prized they were by their owners, and I tried hard not to even make a scratch. Doodle is a terrific student, and Craig's a patient, well-informed teacher. All the laughs were just a sweet bonus. Thanks! Morgan.

They both are awesome! Working with several young officers over the years I can tell she's dedicated and focused on the task at hand no matter what the challenge. This was a great video!

If you've ever had a mentor as good as this, you'll remember it for life.

Good job! Both of you had fun. Nothing like coaching a young person through a technical mechanical job. Doodles, Good on you for getting in there. Barry

Doodle has such infectious positive energy, and not scared to try new things. Respect.

100% respect, Doodle. Outstanding! Graig, great mentor!

Wait a minute, this is the best video on RU-vid, what a collaboration of to great people, who’s idea was this, so genius

I like the channel personality crossover. Kinda like a guest visit, but more in this instance. Doodle might not remember everything she accomplished, but this experience will help her gain mechanics confidence and increase her motorcycle mechanical skills. Kudos to Doodles. Cool episode.🎉

Without doubt your best video yet, I love the teaching Craig !Much love from the UK

This one is for Doodle. I know you are so proud of yourself. I could see it when the bike started for the first time. I am so glad to see women get into mechanics. I know you learned a great deal getting hands on experience with one of the great bike mechanics. Safe travels girl.

What a fun video to watch. In addition to being a top notch mechenic, Craig is an excellent teacher who doesn't take himself too seriously and really seemed to make Doodle comfortable. And hats off to Doodle for not being intimidated outside of her comfort zone and really digging in and seeing the job through. I'm sure she has much more confidence to attempt other mechanical jobs now.

Going back and re-watching some classics imo..golden episode 🇦🇺🇺🇸💪🍻👍

Fantastic to watch someone who enjoys motorcycles and fixing them. Top marks. ❤

Craig is a great teacher. It was awesome to see doodle excited about getting it fixed. 👍👍👍

She is so cute and tiny and innocent and ready to learn and this is why I love this man because he's so patient and kind and she's so willing to learn and it makes my day to see her be able to gain some knowledge it's so impressive most young ladies would not want to rebuild their own bikes so this is pretty cool and it helps that she has a pretty smile❤

One just can’t help but love a girl who is determined and driven to get it done! There is no charm in it when a guy has that but it’s a marvelous thing when a girl does it! 😅 Good job, “Doodle”!

She did a whole lot of hard work. Amazing

8:40 Doodle using her Noodle…love it!

What a great video. I love doodle and will have a go at fixing bikes, but your patient teaching sure made a difference for her confidence and ability. Much respect. LJ

Well done Craig, sharing the knowledge

I literally applauded at the end!!! Great job all!!!

Sweet video. Caroline/Doodle is one of the nicest personalities out in the bike world. She makes millions smile and feel good about motorcycles.

Good to see the RU-vid motorcycle community ,all the stars in one video.

8:45 I do not know why, but when Craig grabs the wrench I think of Crocodile Dundee. “that’s not a knife, (pulls out a BIG @$$ knife) THAT’S A KNIFE."

Great episode. Great instructor, and, she's such a sweetheart!..

“Look at all that DIRT.” Love ya Doodle…..and GREAT job to you and Craig both…!!!

You got this Craig keep up The hustle

14:35 .. changing the Air Filter on Goldwing, same sentiment! 👍😎✊

Great stuff. Two genuine people.

This was a great video. I learned much watching and the calm pace taken to teardown and repair the bike.

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work! Nice to see Doodle on here learning.

Great job by the student and the instructor! Another excellent video!

I'm a certified mechanic on this generation of motors from Harley Davidson at my local community college sponsored by Harley Davidson themselves. I was only 20 getting separated from the Navy due to my ADHD and my father was scared for me becoming stuck in life due to my challenge part of life. The way you taught her was the same way my teacher taught us as well! So two thumbs up for that, and yes this Harley mechanic had a good laugh at the moment you mentioned it. The first motor I tore apart was the vrod motor and saw the Porsche stamps everywhere, it was definitely awesome. Just befiddled me why there are always so many special tools compared to cars. Good job on this video!

One of the only RU-vidrs left that actually seem genuine thank you for all the videos you deserve a rase 😂 god bless you all

We love Doodle ❤️! Don't hit wrenches with your palm. That damages your carpal tunnel nerves. That surgery isn't fun. I know.

Doodle you did so well with a good teacher anything is posible .great video !!!!

Awesome watching this, and well done Doodle, and Craig for being such a good teacher 😎

Awesome teaching keepin it simple typical HD needing to take off a dozen pieces to fix one piece Doodle is just lovely and that smile with the achievement it's a very real rewarding thing knowing that you've done it yourself great job nice vid

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤣🤣🤣 "Wow, that's like the man'est tool I've ever seen" 🤣🤣🤣 Keep it up, Doodle!

Cheers for that! Very cool video and inspires a lot more confidence! Im paranoid as F.... tinkering on mine, but after seeing this I feel pretty good!

I appreciate your patience Craig have to hand it to you ! Great video good job Doddle 😊

Doodle! That "lefty-loosey/righty-tighty" thing. Just imagine you're taking the lid off of a peanut butter jar, and you can't go wrong. (Until you run onto something called a "left-hand thread", which are just the opposite. And, yes, there IS such a thing.)

This video just plain made me happy! Thanks!

Love this episode! I learned so much! Huge fan of Craig and Carolyn! Wish I knew she was in town. I would have loved to meet you both together!

Some many things to understand, learn and know, that was a lot of fun!

It makes me happy 🙂 to see young people who enjoy motorcycling. Especially seeing women enjoying the sport, which in turn helps keep the sport going.

Brother you are a class act and one hell of a teacher. You are a role model. Great video.

Doodle, you're nickname fits you perfectly! You're so fun. Craig you're and awesome teacher!

What a sweetheart. And now she can turn wrenches. I hope she does great with everything. Good job teaching teacher...

Doodle and Craig, I love you guys.. both of you..the best

So glad she lifted her feet straight away. So many riders leave them dangling and that way you are not properly in control. Kudos.

when i grow up i wanna be like Craig.... i'm 47

We knew from his commentary on the other videos that Craig is a great teacher, this video further proves it

3 of my favorite channels coming together. Love it!

I always knew Craig would be an amazing teacher. Very patient, very chill. I learn best when I can relax and focus instead of someone annoyed raising hell and being condescending.

Doodle and Craig!! The best surprise of 2023!

Super cool. Great teacher.

I love it that Craig uses a cardboard template for where the bolts ahould be at. Used to do that as well 😅

I love Doodles attitude. Fun lady. She’s like one of the fun girls from Mount Pilot.

Fine job. No laugh here watching you work on a Harley on my day off. 👍👍

Craig good job keeping it fun and interesting!! Doodle looks fun to work with!

I'm not done with the video yet, but I gotta say that I haven't seen one mention of how this woman is a better rider than most of us. She's done so much practice and had so many classes... She's a better rider than me, that's for sure.

I think we all learnt something, well done, outstanding!

WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO..!!! Loved it..!!💯❤️👍💪

Craig...and Doodle! Couldn't click on this one fast enough!!! Long time subscriber of both of you. Great collaboration!!!!!!!

Huge like from me , I love the energy , best teacher looks like this

Awesome video! You seem to be a amazing teacher truly enjoyed it!! Plus your apprentice is absolutely adorable!!!!

Nice video. Really like Sean narrating. Nice touch.

Great to see ladies riding bikes,my mrs has two Triumphs.

This vid is a favorite. Thanks you both.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Craig, you're an excellent teacher with a sense of humor like mine. You've got to have a little fun along the way. I'm glad to see that silly NOS tank gone as she rides into the sunset...

You're a legend Craig!
