    Sorry for the late upload! Had a big update on my editing software that threw me off. Enjoy vintage mini bike goodness!

      I'd say give the engine a full inspection, perhaps even upgrade the engine a tad bit if you can find parts for it.

      It's acceptable, I definitely replied to your response on last Wednesdays comment telling you that I was going through c&c withdrawal 🤣💜

    I honestly didn't even realize you had a dedicated camera person, it was just so seamless. You guys just put out such great, quality content on a consistent basis. Really hope to be able to attend an event sooner or later!

    CHARLES is still an invaluable asset to the shop and the show.
    What a great decision.
    I dig the respect he has for machines that are twice his age.

    I love the Walk of shame segment, at least you had helped John. I've taken that walk many times by myself, and for something stupid like I'm out of gas.

  • @2koolchris291

    Nice junkyard mook shirt John. Glad to see y’all repping your friends merch.

    I was 10 when dad bought a used Bonanza with a 5HP Briggs in ‘68. Had a peddle friction brake! That was it! After that hardtail I went on to a ‘43 45ci flathead, the a 66 shovel with a ‘50 straight leg frame! Thanks for the memories!

    39 years old and have pinched many tubs back in my mini bike day's. You sir are genius 👏🙌 I wish I would have thought of this cardboard trick back in the 90s. Great tip !!!! 👍

  • @paulchapman3520

    Yeah something like a go-kart build off between you three and you got to include everything that you built

  • @EntertainmenTV1
    @EntertainmenTV1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Another great rescue of history with the Bonanza. I like the dedicated camera person, this episode seemed smoother over all, camera angles, scene editing and of course the presentations by John, Ike and Charles. I'm always excited to see your channel grow. Looking forward to the next one.

  • @anesthetized7053
    @anesthetized7053 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Camera man was great. didnt realize you even had a dedicated guy
    Please do that engine manufacturer shootout!!!! weve been wanting to see some of the rigs battle it out with updated times for the new track especially. the builds are aweome and its basically free content!!!!
    now that you guys got the laser timing setup you should invest in a cheap speedometer for your bikes! something you could remove easily, like a unit that measures front wheel RPM, then you just calculate your tire circumference, and multiply it by the Tire RPM, and multiply that by 60 to get your distance traveled per hour (in inches). then convert inches to miles and boom you have your top speed!

    I would like to see you know get a mini wagon again but bigger and better you know like big tires in the back and little ones in the front just have the pipes and just crazy put a crazy seed in there so don't hurt your back I miss the old builds you know when you just threw stuff together but still love the content

  • @carbide1968

  • @Buck1954
    @Buck1954 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great idea for protecting the inner tube Ike. Taught this old dog a new trick. At 14:02 I'm waiting to see the brake assembly bust the cable because it isn't anchored to the frame. The fork on the brake hub is for anchoring to the frame.

  • @GroundGravel
    @GroundGravel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    John, I did notice the different filming style, I liked the more detail shots. Science to adding a tube. Adding the master link. Usually never see that back to basics stuff on your videos. Simple tips that might be something new to a new or long time viewer. Hard to reinvent the wheel, you guys have been doing this a long time!

  • @williamhelms9942

    Pro tire guy tip. You can use an old tube cut up as an inner liner instead of cardboard.

    @CJsRC 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ah the memories. I had one of these when I was 7 or 8 years old in the early 70s. It had a B&S 2.5HP and I loved it. I think I remember mine having a jack-shaft.

    i dig the 4th behind the lens...nows the time to have everyone mic'd up if it's doable...the bonaza is a neat lil machine...when you guys mentioned the tecumseh, briggs, tilly races, i was reminded of mario kart and the different engine classes... :D....great episode...looking forward to the next few weeks worth of releases!! cheers from Kelowna BC

  • @Flastew
    @Flastew 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love your Junkyard Mook hoodie (I watch them too). Those old mini's are what I grew up on and they did not handle the best, we proved it with as many times as we crashed ours. Camera work was very good and everyone got to be on camera instead of behind it.

  • @lawrenceveinotte
    @lawrenceveinotte 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bring back the MTD, a friend had a red Bonanza, i had a green MTD, i remember going to the bike shop and trying out bikes in 1968, bringing home my MTD, going to a department store the next day and buying the tallest sissy bar they had and installing it. lol

    Hey , I had a Bonanza minibike in the late 60’s ! My dad was a longhaul trucker and brought it from California ! Man , you couldn’t tell me squat , I was king of the neighborhood ! Your problem with wheel alignment comes not having a “ Jack shaft “ that goes between those two rectangular plates under the carburetor .

    Camera man tip - overall awesome job … but when issac is taking about the tire, zooming out so you can see more of what he is doing and holding would help. Keep up the awesome content! I’ve been a subscriber for over 3 years!

  • @mapbike
    @mapbike 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The cameraman did a good job, maybe a little different since I always enjoy hearing one of you fellas making the comments about whats going on while one of you are shooting the video. but it was also fun to be able to see all of yall in the video together working and playing.
    Keep up the excellent work yall, my wife and I look forward each week to watching everything yall post up here.
    Be safe and have fun and keep the great content coming.

    @Almightyrastus 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I would love to see is a mini bike build and race. Each of you starts with a fully stripped down mini bike (stripped down from a known good and working state) that you have to build up and do a hot lap with total build and race time recorded. Kind of like the old run to your car races, but building.

  • @Geequed
    @Geequed 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    First off: Great episode and bike. Nice restoration/build. 👌
    Secondly: You should build an emergency/recover vehicle/pit vehicle. With a compartment for a sizable first aid kit, some work lights, toolbox and of course warning lights. Fit it with a dolly, for carts...and some kind of bike recovery thingamajig... to get vehicles that break down on the track.
    In an emergency, time is critical.
    Be safe guys! Again, thanks for churning out these awesome videos!

  • @jstephenallington8431
    @jstephenallington8431 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got to say, I really like some of the smaller, faster "budget builds" that you're doing. They're quick and easy, and you're definitely explaining in more detail about what you're doing, nice!
    I noticed in one of the past videos that you were using a dedicated camera... person. It has the definite advantage over the old style camera work if only because we get to see the three of you in the same shot at the same time. Again, nice! (p.s. I'm loving the 'Junkyard Mook' hoodie! Her and 'Junkyard Digs' are so much fun to watch!)
