In my opinion this is the best bike channel I've discovered. No irritating music, no wacky goofing around trying to be a corporate presenter. Just serious motorbike repairs. Which is what I believe is why most of us visit ! Oh and Vinny :) !! I'm not naturally a dog person, but he's adorable :)

@EarthSurferUSA
@EarthSurferUSA 4 месяца назад
Yep. IMO, the correct reply would have been: "OK then. I don't want to go that high and we did have an agreement. If that deal falls through, give me a call." Then offer him $100.00 less than the original agreement if he calls. Maybe. :) Why should he expect me to live up to my end of the bargain after breaking his agreement with me?
@EarthSurferUSA
@EarthSurferUSA 4 месяца назад
@@Bob-ts2tu He is not really restoring them, that is a lot more work and probably not worth it for him. He is getting them running and selling them again I am sure. They probably usually break pretty soon if they are ridden, depending on the shape they are in when he gets them. Restoring is the most investment. But getting a old bike 100% mechanically sound takes more time, money and attention to detail also. He does the minimum, (gets it running good), and probably sells them for a fair price, (or he would not be able to sell them.). This kid needs to get an engineering degree, (I know the type). He would get good at it and he would get a lot of satisfaction with his own mind, and that is a beautiful thing. :)

That cylinder plating Honda started using in 1988 (Nikisil), is awesome stuff. If you never get any detonation, or seize the engine, that plating lasted (on my 250), 6 sets of piston/rings, (6 years riding/racing every summer.), and it was getting worn a bit, but still in spec and usable. I even sucked in a bunch of sand the first week after I bought it new, (I assumed the air filter was oiled, and it wasn't.), and that sand did not hurt the plating at all.

Love your channel, really impressed with your mechanical skill set, you seem like such a likable, hardworking person. I like a previous persons idea of creating a buyer checklist of what to check when your going to look at these bikes, that may prevent missing things when your checking them out for the first time at the sellers location. This old Cr is definitely a cool bike, but with that said not sure what the resale is after you get it running correctly. If the end game is to make a profit with the resale of all these bikes your rebuild, then buying them at a much lower initial price has to be your #1 focus. Good luck with future endeavors and look forward to watching your videos!

The best thing about this situation is that you are a master of all bikes and can bring it back to life.

You are too nice. I would have insisted turn it over and if he says no then walked away. Red flag. Love your content and diagnosis skills.

I've seen a video of someone using a heatgun on faded plastics, and it looked like new after. If you have an old piece that's not usable, you could try it and see if it works for you. I did a garden chair with great results.👍

I love your channel, you do great work! I have a question, what do you do with all the bikes you get running? Do you sell them?

I was thinking the same when buy these. Check compression pull a spark plug if can with the buyer or oil and coolant sample.

Thinking positive - this has been a really amazing video to watch! While it is a bummer with the deal with the bike, it has allowed you to dig deep into your many talents and provide amazing, educational, and enjoyable content. Thanks for keeping it real and keeping us all entertained.

I’m super petty when it comes to deals gone bad like this, i would send a picture of the table full of parts and just say “ran when parked right?” hahaha Love your videos man, can’t wait to see you rip this thang!

Sucks that the seller pulled that crap with you but hey at the end of the day you got a pretty complete bike that is in need of a restoration. It's way more than I had to work with on my 95 cr250 lol and after a motor rebuild that will be a really nice bike. Keep up the great videos 👍🏼👍🏼 old 2 strokes rule

Hi, can you please show the options for sorting out the big end? Is there a press fit shaft that connects the bottom of the rod to the crank or does the crank need to be split to fit the new rod and shell? Also, do you ever get the barrel rebored before fitting a new piston or do the bikes you work on have nicosil plating and it would be too expensive? Is there a chance that the bore will be out of round with the bottom end being that worn? Look forward to your next video!
