Zero Dollar Build 1952 Triumph Thunderbird "The Rainmaker" 

I am part of the Boozefighters Mc and it is nice to hear someone that knows his history and loves great bikes! Keep on the great job man!

You're a good man Weems. An inspiration and a good roll model for the youth.

Great story, great message, great bike! Well done Mr. Weems, bless you brother

Great video. Amazing bike. Great story & a beautiful ending filled with hope. 👏👏👏👏

Keeping showing God's love man! There's always hope!

Unkie Weems, bike is only 2 yrs older than me and I feel that we both look about the same. A little rough but still kickin. After not riding for 30+ years am back at it for retirement. Keep the vids coming my friend, stay strong and see you on the road!

love it!!! even old slow beat up bikes can get down the road and we can too

Thank you. Hope is in short supply now days. I'm glad I took Flip's advice and watched you channel.

Wow, unexpected bonus PSA on a great motovlog.... Outstanding!

Gotta respect a man with a noble passion 💯 👌

so glad i found your channel, brother! great message... in love with that bike too! if i could give this video a million likes i would. cant wait for more...

Incredible vid Jared! Brought here by Shadetree Army. Subbed and bell (all) thingamajobbered instantly. Above all thank you for bringing hope to those that have none.

You're an amazing person Weems. Would love to shake your hand one day. Thank you for being you.

HOPE!! Thank you for the story and the uplifting words. I have had those dark times and Sometimes hope is all you have ( or think you have). Love your videos! Keep it up and one day I hope I can shake your hand and say thank you.

Well said 👏👏👏👏,we will all need help one day or the other . You my friend have just gained another subscriber. As being a expat (english ) now living in france ,i am happy to see a bit of british iron being used as she should be used (not being all shiny and left in the garage ),the rainmaker will last for years if you give her a bit of love and attention. Take care on the road mate .peace ✌✌✌

Right on, Weems. I appreciate what you do brother! Keep up the great work

Another great bike, and another great video ( with a great message )

Man these bikes a truley classic

Great video, you're doing a fantastic job 👏

Thanks for this video...ALL THE THUMBS UP!

I would love a vintage bike. I just don’t know enough about bikes to dive into one.

I followed you through shadetree surgeon. Glad I did. Great bike and story. My uncle had an early 70s triumph when I was little in the late 70s. It was loud and scary to me but i loved looking and sitting on that bike.

Motor cycles and brotherhood a great way to help with pstd

Weems, Great job building that ‘52 Thunderbird, I love old things. I have a ‘66 Harley-Davidson M50 needs to be rebuilt. Maybe I’ll start it this summer. It’s all intact just need a speedometer, Headlight and taillight lens.

You are one of a kind. Lots of great vibes your way :-)

Wow! Thank you for sharing. Awesome video. Hope, is a powerful thing.

I bet that bike would be BEAUTIFUL restored.. (hint hint)

Love and respect from the uk

Bad ass storytelling. Love the bike😎PMA

What an amazing video. Well done!

Awesome ending man. I deal have my fair share of demons. When they start to get the best of me, I throw a leg over and ride. Most of the time not knowing where I'm going and not caring. Last August I fell into a really dark place. Grabbed a few changes of clothes and took off from Lafayette LA. That afternoon I stopped in Destin FL to relax and have a few drinks. I felt amazing after crushing about 1200 miles in 2 days.

You don't need a shiny new bike, wrenching and riding an old bike can be more fun. The fact you'll save a lot a money means more for road trips.

Love the bike, it’s story and most of all your story. There is always HOPE.

Awesome bike , video and story thanks for sharing

Respect. Thanks Bro.

Great vid Jared! I very much enjoy your story telling!

One of the best vids I've seen 😃

MAAAAAAAYBE there's a bit of symbolism in the ending of the movie? Symbolism of "TRIUMPH" in the literal sense possibly? Triumph for Freedom as he rides away from oppression of the townsfolk and the physicality of throwing his leg over a TRIUMPH lol, just my ramblings man... HAHAHAHAHAHA! P.S.! I Really like the message of HOPE! After this past year WE The People as a people need to embrace HOPE! The simple fact that Hope should Never Die within you maybe? Great Video Today Man! I dig it!

Thanks man. Love the bike and Love the video

Man im so glad i found your channel via flipna. Iv got an 1970 triumph trophy 250 clean and complete (not running) and want to cop it up and turn it into a 441. Hopefully i can make it happen. Your a true artist brother

The Rainmaker! What a cool, classic bike. Also, thank you for your message of hope. 👍

This is kind of what I have in mind for the 1964 BSA Chopper I just made arrangements to buy, Safe, Reliable and sound everyday driver on a budget, hopefully Jared you can find room for me on your waiting List

Great video. Now I know where the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club got their name. I never realized it was from the Wild Ones.

Love the Triumph. Enjoyed the ride along. Appreciate the message of hope. Any thoughts of doing a history of Triumph motorcycles... Hooah

This was a awesome video good job on motorcycle bully to you, love the psa rad

Awesome video Jared! Incredible work, the Rainmaker is awesome.

This is one of my favorite videos, possibly ever, has everything what makes life wonderful. You are a legend man ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🏍

There is hope indeed. Place your hope in Jesus.

So good Weems!!! Love the History. That bike is super cool! Hope is so huge we all need it. Thank you for sharing your story of hope! Have fun in Webster!

Amazing story about the bike! Sending some ❤️from the UK 🇬🇧

True inspiration!

Amazing motorcycle and amazing message. Much appreciated!

Great video.

Very cool!

sorry to correct you Mr Weems but the first film about a bad ass motorcyclist and motorcycling was George Formby in 'No Limit'.

Beautiful words of inspiration Jared. I think everyone needs a little hope nowadays in this crazy world we live in. Thanks for planning out my Sunday movie, great Vlog.

Great history lesson and life lesson! Well done sir and have a great day!

Great video!

Hey you have your own RU-vid channel! Congrats man, Flip Na sent me. I am a Triumph owner and fan boy so excited to follow you

Fantastic!! Amazing bike. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome 👍🇺🇲👍

My first bike was a sprung-hub Thunderbird like that one, never knew what year it was as it was unregistered and we used to ride it round a field, my 'friend' who was half owner with me gave it away without telling me, what an ass... In those days, (late 60s) these old bikes were worth next to nothing here in England, a local BSA dealer had a nice Vincent Rapide with a spare engine, £350... I think we paid £5 for the Thunderbird. Anyway, thanks for the video and the memories; I hope you will be able to find the correct, cast iron head for yours some day, unless of course, American export T'birds were fitted with ally heads originally? Ours were iron.

what a cool channel!!!!!

❤❤❤

Very cool vid man.🏍

They filmed some of the Wild One in my hometown Fresno CA.

Great video and great message!

Looking forward to this.

I got second place comment!! Be good and be safe!!

I think it's time for a set of tires 😅

Absolutely love this bike man. Hope alls well man

As a disabled US Army combat veteran I have been down when I lost brothers. One tattoo on my right wrist keeps me going. It begins with a Teal Semi Colon, followed by black IGY6. No my 6 is not red I do not know anyone that has committed suicide. But i do have a red 22 underneath to represent the Service people and Veterans that commit suicide every day in America. When anyone that is hurting reaches out to shake my hand and sees that ink, They'll know I'll be there to help them in any way I can. Jerod, you are in my prayers brother. Hoka Hey

and Chino (Lee Marvin) on H-D Hydra Glide...

How does the riding experience of the Rainmaker compare to that beautiful orange and white Triumph you have? Is like comparing apples and oranges? I've never been on old Triumph. I've test ridden a 71 BSA Lightening and an early 70's Norton Commando...and I have a 1975 Honda CB750 as my daily rider. I'm guessing none of those bikes are smilier to a 50's Thunderbird.

Ah man. Your hats are back in stock. I finally went to buy one. I was able to throw my address in (Australia), but I get this error. "We are unable to calculate shipping rates for the selected items." I assume that you might not ship here. It'll probably be double what the hat is worth. But I still want one and to support your channel and brand, as I'm a huge fan on the show (using my other account).

Marlon Brando couldn't ride Lee Marvin Road all his life and he used to ride in the dirt and to desert racing with Steve McQueen bud Ekans that must have been cool racing in the desert with these Hollywood Legends

Well done, always wanted a triumph thunderbird. Currently own a triumph 500 1967. What’s the raffle you have going. From Canada.

A Great British motorcycle movie is called motorcycle it's kind of a gothic witch motorcycle gang spells ball in Merry Old England when England was still merry lots of great writing all on. Triumph and BSA because it was made in the 60s it's corny but you should check it out

Wheems. How do you feel about Norton coming back? Interested? Not interested? Or down right keen to get on one?

Curious, does that bike use the British odd size wrenches? Or did that come later......🤔

There's hope in JESUS.

I'm sad to say this but the movie doesnt end there.. someone causes more trouble for Johnny before the movie ends.. but that girl keeps him from going to prison.. not trying to be a smart asse, I'm a big fan of this channel.. but some idiot causes an accident to happen and they try to pin it on Johnny.. the girl causes two eye witnesses to come forward and tell what really happened which leads to Johnny being allowed to walk free.. some people think this movie is not worth much but in the days it was made, things like this were really unheard of and would set a town in a royal stir.. today people go smashing muscle cars into crowds and the next day it's on social media as a joke.. times have changed drastically.. I love your channel.. and that's a movie I can never stop watching over and over.. probably cos I'm sitting without a bike right now so all I can do is watch bike movies.. or probably cos I have a passion for the Brando jacket and all that goes with it.. sorry if my words offended anyone, not trying to spark trouble.. pardon me if I upset anyone including you Sir Weems.. 🙏

I know some booze fighters

...and it was a Bluebird too. Picture was BW so most people think it was a Blackbird.

Sorry you need to watch. The movie again he gets in to trouble when his bike kills someone

Trying to get a old triumph from mother in law

I would love a vintage bike. I just don’t know enough about bikes to dive into one.
