What motorcycles, builds and setup does an engineer and part time bike builder have tucked away in his collection? I do a full garage tour of Joe from @TheWurks work space.
From a Triumph Bonneville / Triumph Tiger Frankenstein bike, to a CCM / BSA / Triumph build and a Harley Davidson Sportster, this is an eye opening collection of what's possible in bike building.

Freddy! Please pass on to Joe. The man is a legend! Top bloke.
I will do (and I agree)🙌🏻
Both are top blokes
@@simoncook7456 let Joe has he’s moment. 😒
What an inspiring episode! I'm thrilled to see that raw mechanical engineering is still going strong in the UK. Joe, you should be very proud of yourself. Wishing you all safe and happy travels.
The Man & the Baby. The mechanic & the artiste. The builder & the videographer. Love ya Fred, but ya need schoolin & I'm not foolin'....
I know, I know!😆
Thank you for the excellent content Freddie. When are we going to see the review of the Transalp? I loved the Yorkshire trip content, but hoped to see a follow up when you focussed on the bike itself.
Brilliant people ……. Great video
GLOVES Freddie GLOVES!!!
How about getting that cam swap in your Bonneville?!?!
Joe's Scrambler build is just awesome. What a machine....
I am genuinely excited to see your Bonnie back on the road. Perhaps commission a Scrambler build by Joe maybe?
You haven't been cleaning that bike every two weeks. I nearly spat my tea out 😮
It wasn't neglect, he was just letting it develop a patina. 😄
Bike is currently in three different boxes, but this spray has kept it in tip-top condition otherwise!
@@riotofmyown😂
Dear Freddie, this is probably one of the most epic episodes we've had the opportunity to watch on this platform. Joe is without a doubt one of the most valuable gems you've come across in this motorcycling world and he's made your TH-cam page so much richer. Congratulations to you both... ✌️
Not just bikes. Looks like Joe & his wife can turn their hands to anything.
Building ✔️
Seized V8 ✔️
Feed Freddie ✔️
Guitar God✔️
That scrambler 😍 Joes got some skills. WOW.
Absolute madness how he does this stuff🤯
Genuinely smiling at the end of the video as you described Joe and his wife being built of sterner stuff......we need these people with "a pioneering spirit" , they push us forward as a species.
Is this a joke? You have the muckiest Bonneville in hells creation and you're giving cleaning tips 😂😂😂
I knew I’d take some stick with this. I deserve it😆
@@FreddieDobbsyou've certainly got some brass neck! Hope you keep it shiny with GT85! 😉
I'm also a big fan of regular doses of GT85 - excellent stuff 👍
It's doesn't matter if your bike is clean or not, we live in Britain it rains ride it enjoy it
Freddie after hearing what you were spouting in the intro about your bike maintenance I can't take anything you say seriously. I'm afraid Freddie you are more obsessed with your own appearance than your bike.
Ah but the trick is that all that muck is infused with GT85 and forms a barrier to water and road salt, pure genius really.
My go-to channel as soon as I get home. Thanks for your excellent videos🙂
Thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear it!
Same 😎👍
Freddie your like a little kid entering the sweet shop for the first time ever.
I was freaking out!😆
Obviously you haven’t seen Joe’s video showing how dirty your Bonnie was 😂😂😂😂
My dad called me up after Joe’s recent video to tell me I’m a disgrace the way I look after my bike. I’ve been getting abuse from all areas!😆
@@FreddieDobbsquite rightly
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Alls well that ends well Freddie
Joe is a top man, clearly does good work, I bet Freddie can’t wait to get his bike back.
It's great to see someone acknowledge their own shortcomings and be able to offer so much praise to someone who is more the opposite. Way to keep it real Freddie. Another fun video.
The DIYer's of the world always do the coolest things. I'm currently in the process of building a 1996 Multi Port Fuel Injected 5.7L V8 to stuff into my 1967 Chevy pickup. I do love my carburetors but I've always wanted Fuel Injection in this vehicle. I've owned the 1967 Chevy since 2007.
Ahhhhh this is brilliant!!
Brilliant vlog Freddie. Joe deserves his channel to become huge. He's a proper mechanic. Take it to bits and see how it works. I was taught the same years ago which still comes in handy nowadays. Very thorough with his explanations while working on your Bonnie. Ohh and his scrambler 😮 wow. A fantastic build 👏 👌
The entertainment just keeps going up, what a team and those lovely bikes.... Nirvana
Compared to me you're a maintenance wizard. I don't even adjust my chain myself...I get it done at a dealer....But I do admire those who have enough interest to do it themselves.
I don't. I would rather read about Canaletto or practice my aromatherapy skills. Each to their own I guess....
I’m definitely closer to your end of the spectrum with the mechanical skills (and motivation)
With anything practical I would presume that it is easier if you have an aptitude for that sort of thing but it's not usually a case of that or if you don't have the interest. it's a case of being forced to learn, because you can't afford the garage fees.
The sad thing is. We've got all this talent in this country. Yet we manufacture so little now. Millyard another.
This is a very good point
oh, wow! This is what the scrambler 900 should be!
That scrambler is beautiful👍 The man is a genius.
The world would be a better place with more men like Joe.
GT85 compared to ACF-50 is the corner shop, rollercola equivalent of proper Coca Cola. One of my bikes was SORNed in March last year with a coating of ACF before having a cover over it outside. There is no sign of rust on it after 11 months, and you know what our weather has been over the last year.
I was thinking as I have ACF50 in the garage. And always was happy with the results.Should I buy GT85?
Wow Freddie…this channel is growing in subs exponentially…well done 👍
I know, right? When did it become >100k subs?
That’s very kind of you to say so, thank you so much!
🇺🇸 Thanks Freddie for the reminder and advice! Honda recommends that I use their own brand of cleaning spray for my Rebel CMX1100 DCT. I have two cans of it and I am going out to the garage now and give my bike a real good going over! Absolutely outstanding video, and Joe is simply phenomenal! 👏✌️👍
I LOVE the Rebel 1100!🔥 Happy cleaning🧽
@@FreddieDobbs Thank you! I purchased my bike last August from a dealer and it’s a 2022 model year, and it had only 1224 miles on the clock! I got a tremendous deal on it and the dealership threw in a $450 Memphis Shades Batwing fairing with windscreen at no additional charge! I am totally in love with my bike and it’s a keeper for life. Freddie, just please keep the outstanding videos coming, I’m starting to get addicted to your channel!! 👏👍
You're Bonneville could not be in better hands Freddie. I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished.
What a fantastic video! Joe is brilliant, I'm so happy that he's bringing your Bonnie back to life. I myself recently bought a Bonnie t100. It's a 2007 that has been sitting in a garage for almost 10 years. I did get it running last week, still waiting on parts to make the Bonnie roadworthy again. I definitely want to do a scrambler out of my Bonnie. Joe's scrambler is perfect. As someone that's been riding dual sports for my entire life, the scrambler will allow me to still go off road but give me more comfort on road. Freddie, have you ever thought about visiting the USA? Would love for you and Monica to visit. Anyway thanks for your amazing video's and can't wait for you to be back on the Bonnie. Ride safe.
That’s a brilliant project you have in the making! We should be in the USA in September, I cannot wait🇺🇸
@@FreddieDobbs Thank you. Oh that's fantastic 👌👍
Acf50 is even better ,it's used on aircraft
31 min video now that's a v day gift for sure ❤❤
I hope you enjoy it!
Joe is what people used to be like. They did it themselves. They gave it a go. Learned on the job. They are legends. He reminds me of my grandfather - fixed caterpillar bulldozers and built their own boats because they had to. Great video Freddie
Awsome work by Joe! This would be a perfect opportunity to repaint the tank.
Ya absolutely!!! This is the moment to redo and customise everything!!! Joe loves the work and the content. Freddie could have a dream build forever bike.
Hmmmm… I was thinking this🎨
I struggled with the first part of this video. You pretending to clean your bike,which has already been cleaned to a greater extent 😂.
Also GT85 isn't the best product in the world,infact Bennets product review said it was one of the worst they tested. Worth a watch for you 😉
Great video, theres not many people like Joe left unfortunately. I do love GT85, though it did get me into trouble when I went into an office at work and exclaimed how nice the smell was and a lady said it was her perfume, I replied it smells just like my garage. In my defence GT85 does have a vanilla smell and was just like her perfume😂
🤣
Obviously a woman not understanding what a turn that would be for many men.
Emily is one hell of a woman letting him spend the wedding transport money on a motorbike
That's why he married her 😂
Is that a Stratocaster with a whammie bar on the wall?!
Brilliant episode Freddie and Joe. Joe's bikes are excellent and i love what he has achieved.
Listen to Freddie..., "keep your bike in pristine condition and on the road for as long as possible"! Ha Ha, look at that bike now, oh dear!!
You give me no incentive to use that GT85 stuff. "The only thing essential for the MAINTENANCE on your motorbike to keep it on the road", are your words??Maintenance is in my eyes, mechanicals, and not keeping the chrome shiny. Oh, and while we are here, GT85 comes in Spray Cans. Looking after the enviroment is using hand-pump bottles.... well, that's it, rant over!
Sometimes Mr. Dobbs does not think, just that little bit further, before presenting his content on his vlogs. I'm sorry Sir, but critisism comes in all shapes and sizes, not just pink and flowery, and i'm just trying to be honest here and call the spade a spade. Otherwise, I've been a fan of yours a long time and feel rather chuffed with myself when other vloggers and bikers mention your name, and I can say, "oh yes, i've been following him for yonks, one of the best"! You have so much variety in your offerings, not to mention the excellent camera work and choice of music..., oh, I think that was a nod to Monika!
We should get together now and then. You can clean my bike (a chore I hate), and I can service yours, a little something you seem not such a fan of 😏!!
Not only is Joe an outstanding mechanic, he's got a brit iron , Fender Telecaster and a laney stack, I believe we were twins in a former life, well perhaps not the first bit but hey!
I know we're here for the motorcycles, but the Laney Amp and Cab have caught my eye! 👀
Been waiting for this one!!! Freddie who woukd have thought yiur bike breaking down would be such a blessing!!! Joe is going to give youna new bike. Please consider putting some wider tyres on the new bonny. Woukd look fab with the new bars. ❤❤❤❤
It does feel like everything’s fallen beautifully in place thanks to Joe🙌🏻
The look of that Triumph scrambler kind of reminds me of the XSR 700, except way more authentic!
Freddie your reaction faces to the Bonnie scram exhaust sound was class 😂 great vid! 🤙🏻
I actually remember the Bike Magazine article about Joe’s Dad’s BSA.
Don’t loose the faith mate there are plenty of us who are the same as you not knowing what we are doing without a copy of a Haynes manual I could not do a thing without them I have a large collection over the different bikes I have had I’m now riding a Yamaha XT 500 single cylinder real old school just like me as an OAP
Thanks Bizzie🙌🏻 The XT500- I LOVE the look of these!
I built my own extension my self and it’s the best bit of my house
Wow awesome episode and that scrambler is the coolest bike ever made
Thanks🙌🏻 Isn’t it!🖤🏍️
Isn’t she!
Where do all those scratches on the tank come from, you said you regulary use GT85?
Use ACF50. your bike will be sorted all winter and throughout the year.
My Mum always said "If you want owt doing right, do it yourself" (in a Yorkshire accent)
Spray gt85 on your brake discs as it stops them from rusting and the pads will last longer (btw, don’t do that).
😂
I've got them handlebars on my Royal Enfield interceptor, best thing I done was to have these, much more of a comfortable ride , you'll enjoy it Freddie
This is music to my ears, I’m really glad to hear this!
Great post Freddie, definitely a friendship for life with Joe, wait till you get yours back, I can't wait
Joe's scrambler build is elite and sounds great. Joe's a special person. Your Bonnie is in good hands.🍻
that custom scrambler is a thing of beauty! the bonny is in the best hands possible - so Happy Joe reached out and you agreed.
Joe is a dying breed of guy who has to do everything thing himself.A man who you should admire for attempting and then succeeding all he tries well done again Joe also great video Freddie.
The man is doing a fabulous job on your bike, please don’t ruin it with that dreadful saddle you have been using!
Fantastic update and what can I say about Joe brilliant.
Looks like you missed inside fork leg with your gt85, lol.
yo dude you missed out the biggest part about riding his bike was you smiling 😁😁😎, his dad would be well proud off him and his work he done 😎
Very true!🙂
American viewers: GT 85 is rebranded in the United States as "Muc Off" MO 94. The stuff does wonders. I spray it into a detailing brush so I can agitate it into all the hard to reach places that would normally build up with road grit. It keeps my bike looking brand new and also prevents hard water spots from baking onto the hot parts of the engine. Best used on a wet bike right after washing per the instructions, then towel dry to finish.
hey Joe ..you look and sound more relaxed with Freddie..cool..great garage Joe....
Joe is a truly amazing guy. Just wow!
Another nice video. I am expecting a new YT channel from Freddie called "Bikers' bikes and sheds". I'm sure I am not the only one who'd watch that as there are some amazing characters out there with eclectic bikes and equally eclectic 'sheds'.
I am absolutely enjoying this entire series with Joe. And it’s so fun to watch your reactions Freddie when you find out that bikes can be manipulated any way you want them to be. Joe”s got the heart of a customizer. And a good woman who understands that. Learn all you can from him Freddie.
That Freddie was the best yet ! Trust in Joe, you will end up with a bike for life, and truly customised, adapted to your vision your riding the way that customising evolves. Question.. Dave Calderwood whose articles I used to read? Nice stable Joe.
Thanks George!🙌🏻 I’ll try and find out about Dave🙂
How do I get one of those scramblers? 😂
Excellent content!! really can not wait to see/ hear it finished now!! 👍🏍🏍👍
Freddie, I absolutely loved this video and it's so funny hearing your perspective about Joe's capabilities because I'm exactly the same way. I pretty much do everything myself as well and have never known any different because my father is the same way and it's the only way I've ever known. I absolutely love Joe's collection of bikes and that classic MG looks awesome! I'm so glad that your bike is finally in truly good hands and that Joe's got your best interest at heart! I'm only bummed that you guys are across the pond because Joe is someone I would really get along with well and from the looks of it have an awful lot in common ... LOL! Thanks so much for sharing Freddie, as you always do and definitely looking forward to seeing the rest of the bike restoration/progression! 🏍🏍🏍
The Triumph is really neat looking
What a smashing bloke Joe is, and smart too👍
Cracking vid Freddie......love that real slow idle on the harley once warmed up.....amazing.
Joes Scrambler.....what a stunning machine....Joes must enjoy it so much.
I am a bit like joe in so much as I do everything myself if I can....cant service my heating boiler.....but not much else I cant.....as emily says....if stuck....youtube.
Great tip re the GT-85 Freddie been using it myself for 3 years....Sturt Fillinghams vid put me onto it.
As soon as i heard you say it was a replica i wondered if your dad was from Brum,i met him while drinking with the UB's late 70's,if i remember right the engine needed rebuilding after a short time and when he contacted CCM about it they said well the miles you've done is a lot of laps round a track.
I remember all those late singles were pretty poor. Unreliable and prone to self detonating spontaneously
So entertaining Freddie. Thank you. There's something special about those air cooled 865 bikes. Yours included. I need mine back from Chris. But I must be patient...
Both are really neat motorcycles
What a great episode!! Btw...not doing certain things yourself is not pathetic. Ever. At all. Each to his and her own. We are all of us different, with different skills, and different ways of looking at life. We just enjoy our rides and drives on bikes and in cars that we know have been looked after by folk that know what they're doing!! :)
That scrambler is stunningly beautiful.
The magazine article was written by Dave Calderwood, I believe for BIKE magazine in the late 70s. I would have read that as I bought BIKE every month and was big into CCM which were made 10 miles from where I live. 👍👍
Stop the press! Freddy cleans his motorcycle. Shock, horror probe.
🤣🤣
What a lovely looking bike 👍👍👍 Thornton Custom Bikes do some really nice builds but big money. What a blessing the Bonnie breaking down has been to introduce Joe to us All. I work with Engineers and some are a little Odd..but every once in a while I work with some that are just incredible sharing their knowledge.
Very enjoyable video. Joe is one of life’s doers. I have always been of the mind set if you put your mind to it you can do anything. It’s also very healthy to have projects - and dreams.
Freddie puts himself down - but his strengths are in creativity and film production - also a doer. I feel about YouTubing what Freddie feels about bike mechanics- it’s hard work and a lot goes into constant production of material.
I only watch TH-cam because mainstream media is so depressing and fake that I crave for the real enthusiasm of the TH-cam professionals - and let’s not forget Monica who I assume contributes a lot.
Kent Survival, Itchy Boots, Sailing Brothers, 44 Teeth, Angry Bootneck, Joe Rogan, Arieman1, chroniclesofsolid, Fran Blanche, Jay Lenos Garage, Mark Felton, Astrum and of course The Wurks. Who needs TV?
Joe.."can my Bonne sound like this"... LOL..
You're spot on, can't recall where nor when, but I'd picked up a can GT85.. never looked back, it's my only go too... for the P.T.F.E. which it contains... the other Water/Displacement product kills anything it touch's,, well in my opinion and the Auto Electric Trade.
Joe achieves full potato on tickover 😊
Two very cool bikes there Joe 🤩... Love the new handlebar Freddie. Looking very much like a "McQueen" triumph of the 60's 😃. Joe's a new found great mate 👍
Truly captivating watch. I have a friend who can do anything, cars, bikes, built two houses, built his kids a house each. Left school at 14 no quals. Retired as a Microsoft engineer. No formal training on hands on work just self taught. Would love to be like that. I do diy but often feel out my depth. I have just rebuilt my first brake calipers for my car but am too scared to fit in case they fail. All done off u tube. This collaboration is so stimulating. I cannot wait to see your bonneville fixed. Joe is an amazing fellah and so glad you hooked up. We cant all keep out bikes mint, they are for riding too. As well as being a mechanic, however you can learn a bit Freddy. Not everyone wants to and I have been in the position of wishing I hadn’t started something. It’s at home, it’s apart, everything is seized, don’t have tools, no welder. Call the garage 😮😮
I owned a 1996 Sportster 883 and it's realistic maximum speed was 75 as above that, the vibrations would shake your fillings out.
Making the Triumph longer, how does it affect her behavior on the road? Couldn't it be even dangerous, especially as you have as well changed the fork? And not to mention the tires which do not have the perfect grip for the road...
Just curious, otherwise the bike looks AMAZING!! Congrats!
Hey Freddie, great video of the restoration of your Bonnie!! by Joe, can't wait to see the final result, I subbed Joe as well. Off topic question for you what watch are you wearing in the video? It looks really nice, Thanks Again for the content and Hello from Canada!
Joe could start buying up houses in his neighborhood and auctioning them off to motorcycle riders at a premium. :)
Who wouldn't want Joe's Garage next door?!
The Honda CB 250 RSA is the best 4 stroke single cylinder 250 street motorcycle ever produced . Anyone butchering one must be a total philistine a Megalomaniac or both.
Joe’s scrambler build looks fantastic. It’s just right. Looks better than Triumphs version.
Nice video Freddie, GT 85 is 💩 sas maintenance spray, ebay, half the price but twice as good, I clean bikes for a living 😀, Did you say clean every two weeks! Surely you meant years ! Your bike was minging, 😮 Get Joe to build you a bike , it would make great content.
Scramblers lovely!
Freddie, You either have a great sense of humour, or a short memory - Joe has been showing us how manky your bike is. 😂
TBH, I can't complain, I have three manky bikes that each need a good clean.
Please keep your brilliant content coming. 👍
Freddie, just a thought, and you know you want to do this. Buy another motorcycle for your regular channel ride AND let joe Scramblerize the Riumph. What a dream machine.
As your bike is completely stripped down you should definitely consider a scrambleresque modification. If Joe’s willing, for not a lot of investment apart from time. Joe could transform your Bonnie into keeper. Would be an amazing story: from scrap heap to unique Bonnie that you’ll cherish for ever.
There’s more to maintaining a bike than a bit of spray occasionally. It’s obvious that you haven’t practiced what you preached in the past. Much more of this BS and I’ll be unsubscribing.
Freddie. Of all people to talk about keeping their bike clean.... You are full of beans 😊😊
And TOTAL BS!
