Major Repairs to my BMW 1150 GS My Costly Mistake! 

Thanks for watching folks. Please consider a thumbs up if you have enjoyed it and subscribe if you haven’t already.

You are taking one step forward and two steps backwards at the moment! take a deep breath relax and get your head in the game m8.great of your m8 to help you always nice when that happens, things should start moving a little bit faster now for you.really enjoyed the video look forward to the next one.

G'Day mate, I stumbled across your channel today and I'm really enjoying watching your progress with the GS. I do a similar thing in regards to buying reasonably neglected bikes and bringing them back to their original glory. I look forward to seeing more of your progress. I see on your wall a sign for HM Prison, not sure if that's your job or not, but I'm about to click over 28 years as a correctional officer here in Central Australia. Go for Old Yella as the bike name. Cheers Geoff in Alice Springs Central Australia.

I would go for Old Yellow, as it really suits the bikes character. Another great vid, I enjoyed every minute of it. Hard work but hopefully worth it in the end. ATB Big Dave Scotland.

I have a 2002 1150 GSA in Taiwan, we have to MOT every 6 Month’s and the MOT station is a 100km round trip. 😢 I find myself repairing & fixing constantly from MOT to MOT sometimes only riding a few times between MOT in case something breaks and I cannot make the MOT date ha ha. Great Vid.

It's a learning curve mate and your doing quite a big job there so don't be too hard on yourself

You’ll get it sorted buddy, you always do. Great of Doc Holiday to turn out and lend a hand, good on ya Joe. 👍 Just to add….when you get over to Morocco, for gods sake don’t buy a camel. Knowing your luck it would surely turn out to be yet another old knacker! 😂 Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧

its always cool when someone comes and gives you a hand especially when youre letting things get on top of you good on joe

Honestly I am impressed and u are making me love my R1150GS more. All I can say is Weldone and wish u all the best.

You are doing well and I am enjoying the clips....Thanks and good luck

Another corner turned. You must feel like this is going to happen now 👍

Comment on the adventure shocks: This might get you in trouble with the main stand. Could be to short with the longer shocks. And the kardan in the normal GS can’t bent as much as the adventure does. So it can be a problem under heavy load. The adventure kardan is different for this reason.

Cheers for the mention , best luck 👍

At least you're handy with the tools mate, that's saved you loads of money. It will be worth it when you're there it will be a great trip

You've got some great mates and very generous followers. Fab video

Cool vid good to see you are getting here you are going to love ❤️ morocco 🇲🇦 😎🤘

Great Post, love the positive way you tackle all the work, it will be all worth it in the end......

Keep going to dude you can do this 💪

For a second there, I thought I was watching Helmut Head eating in slow motion! Ha-Ha! Good luck with your adventure prep! I'm rooting for you!

Enjoying the journey 👍🏻 My vote is for “Old Yella”

coming together

You can buy Alcohol in Morocco. Some big supermarkets sell it and hotels and bars that look like closed shops. Am originally from Morocco

Both suggestions are good buy Old Yella I recon 😊

Great video hopefully it all comes together

Looks like fun might as well completely refurbish the bike👍

My Goodness..... you Didn't paint those coil springs yellow, while you had them out .....? What were you Thinking 🤔

Should be able to get seals from any industrial supplier, just need to quote the ID, OD and thickness, together with type, i.e., single lip, double lip etc, or take your original as sample. 🙄

Hans..Hans down..lol

Have you retorked the cylinder heads as you need to chek.

Too much honesty!

Old yella sounds 👍🏻

Got to be Old Yellow 😉

Great video you’ll get there . Ps what’s Joes channel name

Hans!

That Rear Main Seal for the engine looks like a replica from Motorworks or somewhere, they are Garbage. always used genuine.

Where did you get those blue stripey underpants? Love!y

Dont Forget that the owner of "Old Yeller" had to take him into the woods and shoot him in the end... It was for the best...

Will the earthquake have a impact on your trip.
