    Yes. Seeing Charlie restore these bikes would be top content.

      Agree! Charlie's bike shed, restoring these!
      Love that!
      I do upholstery, creating and re-creating seats and interior parts on bikes and occasionally on cars, in my spare time. Rarely a common brand on my desk. For freaks, by a freak. Shall we see what i can do with these seats?!
      I have no clue how to get in touch

    I would love to see a restoration series. On a side note it's so cool to see father and son share such passion for cars and bikes.

  • @PhilipGWH
    @PhilipGWH ปีที่แล้ว +244

    As a dad myself, it warms my heart to see the two of you sharing a common passion.

    • @victoruldbk2561
      @victoruldbk2561 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I oddly came here to write the same and yet not really - as someone around Charlie’s age but without a dad to share common passions with, any content with them both properly warms my heart.

    • @rossfripp4503
      @rossfripp4503 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As a son without a dad like this it makes me jealous 🤣🤣

    • @davidthegolfer
      @davidthegolfer ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I lost my father when I was 11, so I never got to share this kind of stuff together although he was, and I am a petrolhead. So really good to watch Harry and Charlie working for each other.

    Seeing Harry and Charlie just bombing down to Germany in a van doing 110mph to get some bikes and not even caring that they had to sleep in a van, what a fantastic little adventure and story to have. 😎 I am envious. Well done, and by all means keep the restoration and adventure videos coming, no matter the vehicle! 👍👍

    I'm not a bike person in the slightest, but I want to see Charlie restore this bike. I would like to see Charlie do some of the roadtests with you Harry and get his opinions on things, you two would make a great pair of roadtesters comparing notes, it just adds another dimension to the channel. I'm sure others would agree. 👍👍

  • @SteveDove
    @SteveDove ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes please, seeing Charlie restore these bikes would be very interesting. There will be low points as well as high during the rebuild, but the end result is always worth it

  • @filipprojcheski

    I would love to see more on this Harry. I had the pleasure of bumping in to Charlie when we were out for lunch today and he mentioned his trip to pick these bikes up and we chatted about harvest and your videos and the like. What a thoroughly nice young man, you must be very proud.
    I hope he didn't mind me interrupting his lunch with his family and friends.
