Enjoy Assen, been twice. Watch your security there though, keep your bike locked with a lock through the back wheel and keep your valuables in the bottom of your sleeping bag if you're camping. I had my phone and wallet nicked from inside my tent while I was asleep and I've heard of bikes being nicked and revved til they blow in the past. It's still a great trip though.

Man , I am waiting for the first ride and wanna see your excitement after all this time with this bike 😁. Cheers for the hard work mate, in this episode looked harsh with these body frames!

@stoneautomotive 5 дней назад

You and me both, let’s hope it comes out as planned 😬 Cheers mate, yep this was a big episode and although it looks like it was filmed in half a day this was a few weekends 😅

@andrewmoylan6295 5 дней назад

G'day James , I was in Assen 2006 back then it was a Saturday race, but It was the time of my life, working in Germany ,driving up to Holland, and seeing the late Nikki Hayden winning and of course Lorenzo on the 2 stroke 250 ....just mint. Have a blast mate.

Finish is perfect on fork top bracket 👏🏻, the lines are gorgeous on the grp. Can't wait to hear that engine. 👍🏻🇮🇪

@alexanderpatterson6316 4 дня назад

Yes the triple should be aluminium like you did, IMO, as it was on my 1995 RS Extrema… looks excellent to me. Glad you didn’t go black on the triple.

Well done pal great job 👏 rs125 was the bike to have when i was 20, that and the cagiva mito

@YZbonde 5 дней назад

when the swingarm is ALU you can just weld a nut onto the broken stud, ive done that plenty of times on wheels and frames :)

@AndrewSinclair-bk9ho 4 дня назад

Lift with a platform is very useful ,you could have used to hoist rear end if frame to raise for engine removal and installation. great for heavy lifting of any sort I use them almost daily

@cecillightley1440 4 дня назад

Yokes are spot on,especially with the blue fork cap bolts👍

Bikes looking great I have been waiting for this video I was so excited when I got the notification I was just thinking you should make some merch I would 100 percent buy some 🤟

@stoneautomotive 5 дней назад

Glad to hear 😎👌 Thanks for the support, I really need to kick me arse into gear and get the merchandise on the go!

Retrobright the windscreen. Its not a product its a process. There are videos that explain it better than I can but basically its soaking it in hydrogen peroxide while using UV lights. It removes all the yellowing and you wont risk melting or burning by trying to machine polish it back to clear after sanding.

@mikesphoenix_e46m3 5 дней назад

You really getting through this build now mate and the screen you thought about giving it a light tint with some tint spray so takes your eyes away from the fading maybe a light tint enough to get rid of the fading colour but keep up the hardwork mate you doing great and with having a life and working i know you can struggle fitting everything in

@jannekefeenstra2596 5 дней назад

Thank you 👌😎 Shall hopefully be filming the trip for the channel so you can enjoy it virtually in a few weekends 😅👌

@MrVinnyh 5 дней назад

Looks great! As a former PSV fitter we didn't use easy outs' often but choose to drill and tap as the better method! as easy outs more often broke and created more problems! If you respray the fairing / seat couling simple silver black with your new c/helmet logos

@bramvermaat1453 5 дней назад

Aprilia is definitely known for just not selling replacement parts. Even the really obvious stuff is just not available anymore as soon as a bike is out of production. Even seals, and rubbers (and chain guides) and all that stuff. Absolutely baffling, and frustrating. I'll be at Assen the whole weekend btw. I live about 30 km from the circuit, so it's yearly for me!

@stoneautomotive 5 дней назад

Incredible frustrating.. had the same pain with the RSV1000 😭 Awesome, if you spot me come over and say hi! Always good to meet viewers/ supporters of the channel 👌 (will no doubt be beer fuelled 😅)

@bramvermaat1453 5 дней назад

@stoneautomotive I definitely will if I do. Beer fueled of course. :) MRA screens are awesome. Made in Germany, OEM quality or better. Have the exact same screen but on my RS50 (lame, I know) but many parts for the 125 are interchangeable. Like the screen.

@ianduckworth9925 5 дней назад

I’ll be at Assen as well so will keep a look out in case I spot you in the ~100k crowd! 😂

Get a white marker pen for when you’ve talked all the nuts and bolts up so you can see if anything is loose
