Gents, we can see how proud he was when riding the bike. No matter big or small, new or old, only bikers can understand the feeling when u ride the bike that u build / own. Cheers from Malaysia
Lmao I ride all the time, just stalled at a red light today! The ducks that act like he's a shitty rider for stalling are usually the over confident bastards with laydown marks all over their bike 😂
This poor guy is getting shit from Sunday to Saturday. Yes his helmet is shite, yes he stalled his bike (who hasn't?) Ok, he is probably new to bikes (we all started somewhere) BUT! Who started riding on a pretty cool bobber? Not me that's for sure! Thing is most of us out there would be quite happy to ride around on his bike but years since we started riding still haven't got one! Hats off to this chap for starting his biking life how we all imagined it should be!
@Francisco Salvador carbs are kinda sensitive to altitude and air density. this bike might be tuned for a lower altitude hence why it's stalled from running too rich. idk if your bike has more than one cyl, I've never owned a bike with more than one. mine is a single cyl that always stalled in the morning or when I ride it to higher altitude despite having it serviced regularly
Good LORD it sounds amazing. 😱😱😱🤘🤘🤘 I rode a rigid frame Harley custom bobber we built ourselves-in the kitchen😁and it’s THE only way to truly experience being a biker. And I not only stalled out my 1st couple times, BUT ran outta gas on my maiden voyage and pushed that 700 pound behemoth back home myself. Talk about a humbling experience. But I loved that machine like nothing else ever. Put 3009 miles on it in the first 2 months-in January. There’s nothing like a rigid bobber, my friends!!! This scoot is beautiful. Absolutely amazing. Love me some Yammis and Hondas and such too!! Nice work!⭐️
I love this bike. I don't ride anymore but if I did start back I would want something like this (except with quieter pipes). I had a rat Sportster (and later on a Triumph bobber) back in the day. I love minimalism like this. Also since all my friends and I ever did was slow cruising of winding mountain roads even lack of front brake wouldn't be THAT much a issue (although I'd probably install one JTBS). It was rare if we ever broke 50MPH while out riding. I've also worked second shift my entire adult life so I'm a hardcore night owl. I did most of my solo riding between 1:30AM and 5AM. I'd be up on the BR Parkway all nice and cool, with virtually zero traffic, and nothing but my thoughts. Sometimes I wouldn't even shift past third gear lol.
Lots of insults coming from a bunch of people that picked up their brand new Hardley Ablesons after leaving the nail salon. Wicked bike. That would get a lot of attention here in SD, home of Sturgis bike rally.
@@jordanjoestar8839 why can’t we just ride cause we love it. Who cares what who has, I bet you still give the wave, if not you’re the true definition of a douche.
Nice home made chop with a great engine fitted.Those XS650s can be taken out to 800+ used to use them in the UK for grass track sidecar racing. If you watch closely the engine peated out due to poor carb set up which is common when running open back CV carbs or hadn't been warned up full 🤔
although this bike does truly look amazing, it looks SO uncomfortable to ride, how high his knee's have to be and how close the handles are to the tank and no front brakes. i would love to see some continuation of this bike as when it is completed it would be a contender for most brutal rat bobber there is.
Wow, it's a nice motor. Really I like this type of old motor. in this time it's can't buy. I want a motor like this.thanks for you to make this type of video for the next generation.
We all stall it from time to time, fuck i stalled it the other day, i thought i put the bike in neutral and i went to get into my back back and took my hand off the clutch and it stalled
Definition of raw motorbike. Just look at that little though boi, look at him. No unnecessary parts, shits, plates, pipes. Just fucken engine, two tires and frame. What a badass bike.
@@luizspindola normally people would put their foot on the kick starter and would kick the starter once it wouldn't move but he straight kicking the kick starter. I'm not saying it's wrong or anything. Just saying never seen anyone doing it like he does. Sorry if you didn't understand what Im trying to say though.
Spot on brother! Typically one would take the slack out of the starter and save the bushing inside by slowly pushing downward on the starter till you feel resistance THEN kick down.... Not hover your foot over the starter and give it all you got from 6" above the kick starter. That is how you ruin your starter and have to split cases to put new internals in hahaha!
Nice bike.........didn't notice a battery.....did you swap out the OEM charging system for a magneto alternator charging system, with a condenser, that doesn't require a battery?
I am extremely confused because the light was on before the engine started... I have to ideas: either the headlight has a separate battery or the battery extremely well hidden, maybe even in the frame somehow.
Wish I could have one of those. Love the bike! I'd put a front brake tho ^^ How's the bike doing nowadays? Do you still have it? Even tho you messed up the first exit it's fine xD Just gave me more time to appreciate that bike! Hope you're doing fine :D
I didn't understand why he was a tool with a cool custom like that, then I saw the DIY "boot cut" jeans, the flip open full face and the Burlington coat factory jacket.. I must say, this guy has every tool in the bag he could need.
@@MMBNMalternateaccoun there's nothing wrong with a modular helmet, any helmet is better than no helmet. BUT it's not intended to be open while riding, like this guy was doing. I personally wouldn't own one because they're much heavier than a full face with less protection. I have a half helmet if I want less protection and more air, and I have the full face for times im looking for more protection than a half helmet would provide. Products that try to do too many things in one package never seem to do any of those things very well.
+NGSVALENCIA A bit late..but per definition not a rat, and neither a bobber. A true rat has got natural patina, bobbers are ALWAYS stock frames. This is a rat-look custom bike, which firmly falls within choppers.
Well I guess you could say it´s a ratbike themed custom bike. And also who said bobber have mandatory stock frames?? Those terms come from an origin and as almost everything in the custom bike world, they become aesthetic guidelines and styles taht are never 100% "something" For me this is a custom bike, it is a bobber, and it is a rat bike. It has the rusty lookjust because it´s not hyoer extremely survival with skulls or stuff like that doesn´t exclude it from beeing a ratbike. The same way one could build a chopper without apes, rare, but possible. That´s the beauty of custom bikes. Anyhow I agree, it is a very nice build, I love minimalism and that bike is so cool looking.
+Erwin Koevoets no way, ratbike defines a style, i've seen brand new bikes beeing turned into ratbikes, even more, true ratbikes will run perfect, it only implies a style. That's like saying you can't build an old school with a bike that's not from the 60's'70's. All those terms come from a place but now they only refer to the aesthetic part of the bike. just like cafe racers are no more meant for racing, sissy bars no more for pushing, chopping frame is not for wheight reduction as it used to be, tape on headlight doesn't serve any purpose nowadays as well.... .
