Wow, those Tempos were actually build in Hamburg in Germany, they started out with a three wheeler transport vehicle and were relativly popular in the 1950's
very cool bike's, the little details are hidden everywhere,. I especially like the what looks like an old handwarmer intake? and the headlight flashlight. awesome!!!
It's great to see all your custom builds all in one video D. To all the people asking questions about a perticular bike... Go back and watch him build them in earlier vids... They are very well made creations and entertaining videos.
I stopped at a yard sale in Hinsdale NH few years ago that had a few of these type of bikes out for sale. One had an old lawn boy 2 stroke engine mounted to it - by the cylinder size it looked like it had some good power. Need to do the sweep thru again this season. Almost always find some great stuff - unlike in Mass where i mostly find over priced crap never understood that. Been to some good ones in brattleboro as well. I feel better knowing i'm not the only one who saves little bits of stuff - good stuff. BUT then uses it when it counts, man the crap i get for that! Great stuff !
I like them both. The green one would get the most milage. My problem would be how fast can I make them! It's about the speed. I can't help myself . Catch me if U can. 👍👍🏍👀
Your bikes are works of art. You should build and sell those things, you could made some good $ I bet. Oh and BTW your soldering issues are because your iron is not hot enough not the flux.
Rub and Buff can be used on plastic as well, really any smooth surface you want to appear metal. Try using less when applying, just a BB size dab on a cloth covered finger and rub it in. A little goes a long way. Bikes look great !
As a computer tech I much more enjoy time with a broken pc, than a working one. I suspect it's like that for motorheads. Having a great time fixing it. I love the steampunk style of your bikes.
i love these hand built mini bikes, such a shame UK road laws make riding them on public roads impossible, if i could register and ride it i'd build one but alas not so i enjoy yours.
Hey bud, maybe that fan cowling could use a bit of added 'distress' -maybe beat it up a bit with a string of nuts and bolts, and add a few small shallow random dents... then hit er with the shoe dye, and a bit of real grime. :)
Ah! One more thing man.. I bet it would be easy to make a tuned pipe out of that bat, which would probably give ya quite a boost in performance, and fuel savings, even if you just wing it, and do some guestimating on the geometry. you've already got a diverging section, and a belly...Now you just need a converging section you can shove down the end of the pipe, and try it in different locations along the length of the already existing belly, until you get closest to wherever you want it tuned most. ..Lol, you could almost shove a metal funnel inside there... and you'd already have the basis for your stinger, as well. :)
love to watch u repair and fix things! HOWEVER, to save yourself alot of pain, and serious injury, stay off busy small roads like in front of your house entirely when testing or riding, and mount rearview mirrors on both sides on all bikes u intend to use on road! likely u will ignore this, but as i like u i had to bring it up...
I just came over to your channel after seeing you comment on several videos i was watching. looks like you really enjoy the small engines. great builds! the $200. f150 video caught my eye as most of my videos are truck builds.
Well the kids are all tuned up, ready to go strut their stuff and make you proud Dad. That small radial at the end was awesome. Maybe something you might take a stab at?
Hey Darrin, While watching this video, I had an idea(I know - they always get me into trouble!) On one of your bike builds, I thought it would look awesome to have an exhaust made out of an old aluminum baseball bat! I don't even know if they are even hollow, but I guess you might be able to find one at a yard sale an cut it open?
Got the same small engine that you tried that polish on; unfortunately i left it out side over winter and it didn't fair well, but i saved all the good parts. Never know when u need spare parts. Do like the Black metal polish look.
I wish the law would let you build something with a bigger motor. I had a friend years ago that had a motorcycle with a single cylinder 500cc two stroke. He called the "thumper" . The sound was so cool. Could you imagine that on a bicycle? Might be a little overpowered.
these are epic!!! new to your channel... do you have more vids on these? love the 'found parts' look they have while still having all the lines of a true chopper. so badass!
just for kicks.. if you can get some small leather scraps... or cut up an old leather belt.. try that for polishing.. the cloth or papertowels absorb the abrasive.. the leather cannot absorb very much.. its hard to move between abrasive compounds... so have several piece.. and rubber band them to the bottle to prevent mixing up a course grit impregnated version with a fine grit bottle of compound..
Hello sir and love all your videos-How about you put a nice electric motor 1000 W Mtatt(MID-DRIVE ONLY), 52V MId-drive ON A bicycle called Specialized Roll LOW ENTRY conversion please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your solder is really old, using flux will help, but otherwise your solder is already rosin core, (or flux core), so more flux doesn't really help you. Flux is more for plumbing because the solder is acid core.
Is it even legal to ride those on the road? I'm not from the states, so it is just interesting for me to know. That's quite cool mini bikes you got there. How fast do they go, 20-25mph, maybe?
Ah, I should have looked at the posts. Tempo Matador. I still haven't forgot about your custom minibikes, don't you worry Mustie, I am here for the body of the video as well as the "Happy Ending". ;-)
...in case I just missed a prior video, I totally love and will emulate the wrenches as structural elements! Wife cannot see the interest in fix and restore videos. Good thing I didn't ask her.
Ii wish I known how you made the rear pulley for the back wheel , would like build amotor bike like I had as kid but do not know where I can find a belt drive pulley , mine had a bridges and Stratton mounted on top of the back wheel with a belt drive
I just love your video takes me back about 60 years would like to build one but don`t where to get parts, myself I'm a retired pipeline welder would love to connect with you
the chain on the gas tank is going to chew thru that metal in probably 5 hours of riding. -- absolutely put some rubber strap between the chain and that tank
What artistry! Such fascinating and beautiful creations!
I also really do like the green one. I'd be super proud to have something like that around my house.
That retro motorbike is simply an amazing machine. I would love to own that.
Wow, those Tempos were actually build in Hamburg in Germany, they started out with a three wheeler transport vehicle and were relativly popular in the 1950's
very cool bike's, the little details are hidden everywhere,. I especially like the what looks like an old handwarmer intake? and the headlight flashlight. awesome!!!
Cool bikes!
Hi! This is the best youtube channel. Continue with the good work. Regards Kjetil from Norway.
Love all the bikes but my favourite is the chopper. Just something about it that's really awesome. Great video bud
Repaired and Renewed almost like new. Good job and appreciate the videos. Keep them coming.
The green bike sounds awesome.
Lovin the musti fleet.... I like how they all have different engine and exhaust sounds!!!
Cool Van. Very interesting.
It's great to see all your custom builds all in one video D. To all the people asking questions about a perticular bike... Go back and watch him build them in earlier vids... They are very well made creations and entertaining videos.
8:20 I was watching that cap unthread itself for the longest time and finally it happened lol
I thought it was going to launch itself.
Ka-De air compressor?! u mean the clutch moron
MOPAR POWA. Douche bag alert
Enjoyed the video my friend please keep them coming I really enjoy your Channel thank you and God bless.
Great ending my friend to a great start. lol Cheers Dizzy.
Right on awesome bike collection nice builda
Great video Darrin I really enjoyed all the content in this one. You're still undefeated Cold Start KING. 👑
Plugged pilot jet.

Great stuff !
Love the chopper build always wanted to do a build like this keep up the great work
Awesome build are incredible. Great talent. I built a 1911 Speed Racer turned out pretty good.
I like them both. The green one would get the most milage. My problem would be how fast can I make them! It's about the speed. I can't help myself . Catch me if U can. 👍👍🏍👀

It's nice to see them all again, Mustie. Good idea to lose the gold too. I didn't think it looked that bad until you changed it. Thanks!!
it's probably a good thing for you that the bus wasn't for sale, but it is cool and unique.
👋 Mustie, you have a Nice collection of Bikes and I think there so nice that they need to be in a museum
Loving the bikes, you have done such a great job with them.
Awesome motorized bikes.
Mustie Motto: Stay Calm and Clean the Carb. Teach is great to watch do it all.
let the pull-start cover weather a bit, it will be fine. :) all that needs changing on that one is the green belt pulley :P
mindmantv she
The trim ring attached to a 20" rim to be used as a rear sprocket blew my mind !
You have to be the coolest dad on the block, or at least one damn interesting neighbor.
Rub and Buff can be used on plastic as well, really any smooth surface you want to appear metal. Try using less when applying, just a BB size dab on a cloth covered finger and rub it in. A little goes a long way. Bikes look great !

Love your bikes! That Matador at the end is amazing! Holy grail stuff for me! Super cool
i love these hand built mini bikes, such a shame UK road laws make riding them on public roads impossible, if i could register and ride it i'd build one but alas not so i enjoy yours.
Love that van at the end, at least engine parts will be easy to find...Morris minor, Austin mini, and many others use the A series engine.
Outstanding collection Sir.
Bronzed nice! @27:02
There's actually quite a cool collection.! You've got quite a talent there!
Always has cool toys he brings back to life. Great video
Great engineering, nice bikes.
Awesome builds!
thanks

That is a very unique bus.
Awesome bikes. I gotta find something to make one.
Each bike has a unique sound to it. Lots of fun here.
That green Schwinn bike is just cool. All of them are really nice, but my favorite is the green Schwinn.
You are a freaking genius , your creativity makes me sick , I love your rides volksies included
Beautiful Rides! Great Schwinn Stingray build😎
these are soooo cool!
You build awesomeness. I watched your series of a bike that you built which realy made encouraged me to give it a go. But thanks bud !
cool bikes.
I just came over to your channel after seeing you comment on several videos i was watching. looks like you really enjoy the small engines. great builds! the $200. f150 video caught my eye as most of my videos are truck builds.
Love the sound of the green one. Reminds me of an old hit-and-miss engine.
Nice builds
Seriously cool bikes.
Well the kids are all tuned up, ready to go strut their stuff and make you proud Dad.
That small radial at the end was awesome. Maybe something you might take a stab at?
Summertime is coming. Time to check the toys ;-)
hi very cool bike
That's bad azz....love that mini bike
coming at us with the marvel movie post credits clip? Teasers of whats to come? nice video mustie1!
love the mini bikes awesome
Hi Mustie1. Had a sick day off work with diarrhoea yesterday and came across your channel to stop the boredom. Enjoyed every episode I watched.
thats a shitty way to get here but welcome aboard,
Tell me about it! haha! Anyway greetings from Whanganui New Zealand
Very punny...
Wow! You really have lots of neat toys.
The homemade bike buffet always creates a big smile at this end!
Hey Darrin,
While watching this video, I had an idea(I know - they always get me into trouble!) On one of your bike builds, I thought it would look awesome to have an exhaust made out of an old aluminum baseball bat! I don't even know if they are even hollow, but I guess you might be able to find one at a yard sale an cut it open?
you may want to look at the exhaust on the bike that had no spark again.
OOPS I guess that's what gave me the idea! Never mind!😕
Luv the board tracker one.
One of those *Radial* would look sick on a bike...
The vision that it takes to create these bikes is inspiring.
Good mechanics are sexy
Cant stop watching the blue lady at the back. Have you ever done a piaggio ape classic 400 or something like it?. Would be nice in this way.
Cool projects, must get around to all of mine lol
Got the same small engine that you tried that polish on; unfortunately i left it out side over winter and it didn't fair well, but i saved all the good parts. Never know when u need spare parts. Do like the Black metal polish look.
I dig that baseball bat exhaust! 👍🏁😀
I agree, it is very cool.
On the ELECTRIC bike? haha all good.
occ never made a baseball bat exhaust,
Great video

Darren have fun and the car show season is here. Do you now which shows you will be going to this year?
Quit wobbling the handlebars. You're making me dizzy. LOL Great video.
the go kart ride musta made you puke
these are epic!!! new to your channel... do you have more vids on these? love the 'found parts' look they have while still having all the lines of a true chopper. so badass!
just for kicks.. if you can get some small leather scraps... or cut up an old leather belt.. try that for polishing.. the cloth or papertowels absorb the abrasive.. the leather cannot absorb very much.. its hard to move between abrasive compounds... so have several piece.. and rubber band them to the bottle to prevent mixing up a course grit impregnated version with a fine grit bottle of compound..
Awesome bikes dude let me have one I don't have a license
Very good idea
with the red in the exhaust, gas tank & light, I'd add some darkened red paint to the center circle of that piece
These are really cool. Are you a trained engineer? Which is your favourite?
Did you build all of the contraptions ! LOL Looks like a bunch of fun !
I love the stingray! My freind just got one for free and we really want to motorized it next summer 😎 we own a few mini bikes and gas powered bikes
Ive always wanted to be able to do exactly what you do with your toys.
That bus at the end is just as cool as a old VW bus dare i say 😎
Hello sir and love all your videos-How about you put a nice electric motor 1000 W Mtatt(MID-DRIVE ONLY), 52V MId-drive ON A bicycle called Specialized Roll LOW ENTRY conversion please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your solder is really old, using flux will help, but otherwise your solder is already rosin core, (or flux core), so more flux doesn't really help you. Flux is more for plumbing because the solder is acid core.
was not the right solder
Is it even legal to ride those on the road? I'm not from the states, so it is just interesting for me to know. That's quite cool mini bikes you got there. How fast do they go, 20-25mph, maybe?
as long as they pedal
dude you have mad skills the green bike sounds like a Harley ideling so much n i love the shwinn the gold bike they were great for whillies
I like the E.J. Potter style use of old wrenches.
Wow,..you can disengage the engine from the wheels ? That's a cool build !!
@Mustie1 awesome bikes! The baseball bat exhaust is genius!!!
Ah, I should have looked at the posts. Tempo Matador.
I still haven't forgot about your custom minibikes, don't you worry Mustie, I am here for the body of the video as well as the "Happy Ending". ;-)
"Well I'll let you repeat yourself if you like about the whole history"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Silence.
That Recycled bike is GORGEOUS.
Thanks for showing me your junk
...in case I just missed a prior video, I totally love and will emulate the wrenches as structural elements! Wife cannot see the interest in fix and restore videos. Good thing I didn't ask her.

Ii wish I known how you made the rear pulley for the back wheel , would like build amotor bike like I had as kid but do not know where I can find a belt drive pulley , mine had a bridges and Stratton mounted on top of the back wheel with a belt drive
