@@BikesandBeards yeah my butt puckered we wouldn't want anything to happen to Ed he's a treasure can't wait to see him on his old one he really wasn't impressed by the new one LOL
Man I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face seeing Ed ride that bike. Beautiful. Just think of all the history stored inside Ed. I was 11 year old in 75. And my mom always made us go out and help the elders and we was not to take a dime from them. Even though they would try and give us money, we would always have to run away from them in order not for them to force us to take their blessing.
So a couple years ago I stopped through to Matt’s shop for some merchandise for my old man (still wears the embroidered ball cap) and who was out front? Ed. Literally wanted to know everything about who I was, where I came from, why I was there… just a super nice guy. Happy to see the guy having a good time.
That was absolutely perfect. The look on Eds' face was priceless. Him seeing you guys riding, and then us watching him ride. You made his day for sure. That was a great video. Thank you.
Ed is a kind of person that is genuinly rare today, a pioneer. Still young at heart with a range of experience that seems beyond possibility in the modern world. I know a guy that was pulling whole tree tunks out of the forest with a bullock team. He was also the steam engineer on a paddle steamer on the Murray River in Australia. After that his life just kept getting more interesting. He's the only other person I know about who is like Ed.
Ed, reminds me of my Grandad. He was a miner in California, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. As a youngester I remember going out to the mines and visiting him and my dad. My mother was the first woman to be licensed in Nevada as a blaster. So with grandpa, dad and mom all in the mining trades I grow up liking things that go bang, digging and loving the out doors. Thanks guys for being back the memories. Safe travels and roads. Brian and Cindy. "xtreambydesign with passion"
@@bigredc222 When grandpa passed he was working on his 6th million. Like all miners one week your rich and the next your broke because the mine paned out.😭😂😁
@@bigredc222 Nope, it was a standard claim. If it was a patton claim I would be able to mine it. Under mining law you have to do a minuim amount of work on each claim to retain mining rights.
I'm watching from Canada and I have to say, while we've all seen the negative side of what TH-cam can bring out in people, this story is absolutely inspiring. First is how several channels have come together and real life friendships forged over common interests, but the story of Ed, which is a story which so needs to be told, has brought together an effort throughout the U.S. to resurrect his Jimny and Rokon. Further, I find it inspiring how people from all over North America, if not several points around the globe, have come to care so deeply about Ed and have taken him and this story to heart.
Freakin' awesome guys. I worked with Ed in the 80's and he would just disappear for weeks during the weather window to mine. So happy that Matt takes care of Ed. Bikes and Beards are awesome for doing the Rokon. Love your channel.
@@Eyes0penNoFear After being "caught" by OSHA for having a worm drive circular saw without a guard, Osha said if I cut the plug off the cord they would not fine us for having unsafe equipment in an industrial workplace. Ed saw me with the saw and dikes and freaked. I told him to just walk away but he continued to argue with me and the Osha rep. Later, I just bought a new plug and installed on the saw and Ed was all happy again. Ed is also a pretty good golfer. Funny, a left hander with a slice. good times.
I like the respect your elders talk. We all need a bigger helping of this, including me. I think this whole series across the channels has been a good thing to help us look at our own situations and lives.
Yes we do! I agree that we could all work on it, but I think this teenage and early 20's generation really needs to take this advice from Job. Some of the things I hear coming from their mouths when speaking to the older generations is really quite disturbing.
This generation doesn’t have a concept of earlier generations and the work it took to provide for the following generations. I have a few very young people at our plant. They need us to respect and understand where they come from so they will listen to us. Trust me. We will be okay but we DO speak a “different language “.
I never stopped smiling the whole time. I've watched Matt and Paul for a few years, but this was really the full story of Ed and what a great story! Hats off to all of you for the respect, appreciation and kindness!
I just watched this video and the Fab Rats video where Paul shows the previous owner his FJ45 rock crawler. I had tears in my eyes for both. Love all these guys, and I feel like I'm learning something everytime I watch.
It is really odd to see Matt on two wheels but by the time we got to the end I was balling like a baby watching Ed give it throttle! Go Ed! And thanks for your help!
Ed is the Great-Grand-Pa you wish to all kids in the world! Thank to you guys for doing this together with Matt, Robby, Paul, Hollie and everybody involved . The Lord will pay you back for sure!!
I've never seen a youtube channel like Matt's he reaches out to other youtubers and gives them so much content when he could do the stuff himself honestly. Love yall
@@61rampy65 I didn't hear that part, but I just love it that he does he has made content for countless channels and Just a really good all around person from his videos.
ED is a awesome guy I don't know Ed personally but I've been watching all the videos from Robby, Paul, Matt and Mischief Maker on these builds for Ed. I want to personally thank you for your contribution to Ed's build.
I’ve been waiting for this episode a Matts off-road recovery collaboration with bikes and Beards! Literally wholesome content that’s extremely hard to find nowadays!
Thanks people. Thats one of the best off road recovery videos I've seen yet. Ed is a solid old chap. Solid in mind & spirit.. Bikes and beards made this a special occasion too. thanks again guys.
I started watching both your channels independently years ago, same with Fab Rats too. Since then I've been introduced to so many more channels I enjoy. But watching all your channels converge has been the greatest experience I've had in all my years watching things on TH-cam. I'm so happy to see people like you replacing what passes for reality TV on network television today. You are ALL doing such wonderful projects and keep my interest with every video you release. Sean, Matt, Paul, Robbie, keep up the EPIC work and don't change a thing. God Bless you all.
I can't wait for the final reveal with the nugget, rokon, and trailer. I hope everyone involved in these projects can make it out to Utah for the grand finale. You're all awesome and Ed is a lucky guy
What you did was such a blessing for that sweet man. Thank you for taking time & talking about how important it is to love and respect our elders. Blessings to you.
Super cool! You guys were so respectful in honoring Ed and conveying the “gold” senior people can pass along to us if we just take the time to listen to them.
Sean, I've watched a bunch of your videos and I've always found them entertaining, but what you did for Ed, buying that Rokon and watching him ride it was classic and totally classy. My respect for you increased 10 fold. Keep up the good work.
You guys doing this stuff for old man Ed brings tears to my eyes for Ed. I’m only 67 now I have no friends so to see you guys do these things for Ed really is so very kind. Thank you all for brining back Ed’s old memories through rebuilding his bike and Suzuki i can’t wait for the day you get it together and present it to Ed. I think Ed is very cool person. Again thank you all.
Ed is just a great dude, I could listen to his stories all day, we all could learn alot from that dude. I have been watching Matt's channel for about a year or more now, and they all are just real good people.
This whole series on all the channels. Has been amazing and so incredibly heart warming. Respect for our elders is slipping away so fast. We need to soak in the wisdom and treat em right!
I love Edd so much and I don't even know him personally. I really love that generation of people. He reminds of my dad so much. I wish people now a days would have mentalities like that generation. The world wouldn't be so bad off i believe.
I love how protective Matt is of Ed. Ed is amazing and still has a fun spirit. The happiness showing in his eyes as he recalled his younger days. God bless you Ed and continue being the person you are. We love you
Outstanding! A bunch of TH-cam channels being kind to cool ol' Ed and lovin' on him by fixing up his stuff from a looong time ago, bringing back so many memories for him of when he was a young man...awesome! Good job. Many, many people are looking forward to more of these kinds of doing good things, helping people, collaboration, popular-content-material videos. ;)
God bless you guys for going extra mile for edd that's one of those things That God will smile on you for that It touch my heart on how much respect That you're showing for older man It will return to you someday when you least expect it something great will Come you're way out of the blue
Thank you guys very much i'm sure you brought back a lot memories for ed & i wish i could seen his face once he started riding the rokon ! Ed may be in his 80's but he has many more years left & i know when everything is done this spring all the youtubers thats donated to fixing all this stuff for Ed it's going to really be a celebration that i wish i could be at in person ! Myself in my 60's and can't afford much more then a place to live & a ride i was able to buy a old rv that i been getting fixed up for place to live hopefully ill be able to start hitting the road this summer in it ! A 1987 class A Rv with 55K miles on it !
The way you have mixed your content up, over the last couple of years has kept your channel refreshing. Not too many people even try to do it, they just keep doing the same thing over and over again. Ohh yeah I know that I have thanked you, for giving me the inspiration to open up my own used Motorcycle shop. Just wanted to let you know if you ever need anything, while you are close to Chattanooga Tennessee hit me up and I'll take care of it. 💯🙏 You don't have to be close to Chattanooga Tennessee, just hit me up if you need anything period!!!!
Now THAT is a good looking shirt! You are so right about respecting out older ones. They have done so, so much and have such a story to tell if only we would listen. Thank you guys for your support in this project.
Fab Rat, Matt's Recovery Team, and Beards and Bikes, doing a community service for Ed, who doesn't know what he's about to be blessed with. You guys have hearts of gold.
Thanks. My Dad died last summer at the age of 85. I respected him. He had that godly wisdom that comes with age and a life lived well. It's good to honor Ed and remind us of what's important.
Matt That’s true LOVVE YOU GUYS HAVE FOR ED. I really enjoy the love you and your friends have to each other and the LOVE you all give to ED. I wish a lot of people would be like you guys.
I am so grateful of the respect that both of you showed Ed. He is such a special Man and he is beloved by everyone. Watching you and Matt run beside him as He rode, to protect him, was just heart warming. And watching how he was treated as Matt was in the other room giving added commentary on the story, just me happy. You both are good Men and I look forward to exploring more of your content as this is my first experience with you.
It's great to see Ed and his Rokon coming back to life. I have a 2009 Rokon just like yours, but yours is newer than mine. The different and improved air box is how you can tell. When you turn the handle bars, the front drive disengages and makes it easy to turn. They are advertised to go up a 60 degree grade, and will do it, if you can hang on.
This whole adventure is so heartwarming. I'm almost as old as Ed, surrounded by kids & grandkids. I watch them play video games, not really interested in the stories, adventures, & knowledge I have aquired in 70+ years. Thank you guys for showing Ed the wonderful respect he so deserves......
Newcomer to your channel here. Was looking for the progress with Ed's things when I found you folks, and your remarkable way with Ed, and his Rokon. Your respect of elders is a breath of fresh air. God bless you guys!
Amen bro on the respect & what they have to offer my dad was born in 1921 & he knew more than any one I have know but I loved just sitting around talking to him. god bless & ty 4 everything ur doing it's a great thing ur doing
You say Ed got all excited for a moment when you showed him your bike, I though he got emotional and all but chocked up. I really cant wait to see the bike finished along with the Golden Nugget, sheesh you are all going to blow him away. Sheesh, he deserves some kind attention in his later years, Bless. You guys are all wonderful and it is a pleasure watching all the new channels Matt has brought us to.
I know I'm a bit late to the party but I had to comment, you guys running beside Ed says it all! True respectful gentlemen you are, we all khow much Matt loves and cares for him and with the work he organised for him shows that. Thank you for your part in Eds amazing gifts you earned yourself a sub!
Ed is fortunate to have so many friends that care. One caution I would offer is that Ed will be overwhelmed by what you are doing and will be inclined to prove the value of the gift. Once the bike is restored, is it safe for Ed to be riding on it?
There was a Sunday school song that talked about being a "Sermon in shoes " . Selfless loving concern , that results in a kindness for someone you've never even met, preaches the Love of Jesus pretty loudly !!!! Thanks for letting us share in your ministry .
Thank you for understanding what this older generation brings to the table. Most young people have no respect for us. Thanks again, have fun, enjoy what you do and life can be a blessing by giving it a chance. You kids are awesome all of you for doing this for Ed. You can imagine how many times Ed dreamed of this. This old guy signing out.
It's amazing how all of you are pitching in and bringing back the old day's to the new day's for Ed ! Ed reminds me of my grandfather a lot . I've been trying to keep up with everybody's channel's on the building of both vehicle's.
Never seen Ed in any of the videos smile or laugh like that. It is fantastic to see him light up like that. Congrats to Ed and all the people helping with this restoration and the Golden Nugget. All the videos are awesome. Just fire content!!!
Ed. Salt of the Earth. Thank you to all the folks that are making the nugget surprise possible. Special thanks to Matt, family and friends that had the forethought to include so many wholesome and talented people along for the journey. Thank you.
Ed’s one amazing guy and it’s wonderful to see all of those who love him pulling off this surprise. 💕 You couldn’t wipe that smile off his face, while he was watching the young folks ride it. I loved watching him ride it. Job said it best, didn’t he?
Thank you. This is priceless and you guys are wonderful for helping Ed. I've kept up with the bike and Suzuki restore. This is so amazing to witness this much love in these awful times of hatered in which we live. The youth of today can not comprehend the love esp for our elders we once experienced here in america.
Watching Ed's eyes as the guys were riding that new ROCON you knew he was remembering past rides & itching to get on it. What a distraction for what's to come for him. You guys are gonna make Ed's Century. Blessings on all of you.
The elderly have some awesome stories to tell, all you have to do is listen. In the 1990's I delivered mail to a senior living condo, it was my favor it part of my day to hear them regale their adventures as I sorted their mail.
I have been following this entire story from the beginning, I have loved every bit of it. So many people going above and beyond for Ed. The work Paul and Rabby and his group have done is amazing!
i think every town should do something for every older person as they come of a certain age. they really do go un noticed an almost forgotten an the only time we ever get to hear anything about them is once they have already passed and its untelling how many amazing storys have went untold cause of it an we really should start doing something to show them some appreciation an that they still have tons to offer us even if it is the stories they have to tell. its probably not something that can be done but all the companys that are around now was able to grow cause of the hard work these old timers put in so they should be the ones paying it forward to them, the smallest thing to show appreciate to the would bring them more joy than anything.
Always respect your elders and use your manners, it doesn't cost a penny and will get you everywhere in life. Great video, Ed's a legend, and great to see everyone pull together for this amazing project.
- hey guys you all are doing a wonderful thing for Ed - you made him a young man again, man seeing this video and what your doing is so beautiful, made me smile along with Ed - thanks
At 7:43. I love that child look ED gives when the banana is riding on it's side . So young at heart . Love that Matt is doing all this for him . God, i love you guys.
Thank you for everything you did. This entire series of everyone's channels all working together on the Nugget and Rokon has been fun and inspirational.
This is why I watch these videos! Good people! Matt is a great guy! You can tell he loves Ed so much! Ed is the man! I started watching these vids 2-3 yrs ago. Now Its Fab Rats & Robby! Again..good people IMO!
Matt's loyalty to Ed is very humbling. Matt gives him him the respect he deserves. More you watch Matt's channel, the more I completely get the relationship between those two. We all need more guys like Ed and Matt. Yes, catch Robby's work on the nugget. To say he 'is going above and beyond' is an understatement. I thought I knew a little bit about bodywork and paint. I learned there is another entire universe of custom body and paint. Double that, put it on steroids and that is Robby's work on that rig. That setup is going to attract crowds.
Men, I have just started watching your channel thanks to your taking on the Rokon build. Your sharing of the scripture on this video is right on track. What a blessing our elders can be. The chair was icing on the cake. Bringing out your own bike to share was priceless. I can see from the scripture you add to each video you understand the special word of God. You are not ashamed to share in a ever darkening world. Keep up the Good Work. Let your light shine before men. The bikes and beards are cool too
Ed giving the throttle a little extra twist and riding away from you guy was priceless!! He’s definitely still young at heart
i got scared for a second there
Once a biker always a biker
We'll all be there someday.
@@BikesandBeards yeah my butt puckered we wouldn't want anything to happen to Ed he's a treasure can't wait to see him on his old one he really wasn't impressed by the new one LOL
he was ready to drive that sucker all the way back to Utah
Got to love the way Matt watches out for Ed's safety at all times! Much respect going out to Matt and his caring family!

You can see it in Ed's eyes the love he has for all these people! And they for him!
Thanks for posting this!
Ed looked like a kid at Christmas time! You guys really made his day.
Bless these guys hearts in the rebuild of Ed's Rokon! Everyone should treat their elders with the respect these guys have shown Ed! God Bless!
So awesome seeing the smile on Ed's face! Doing good work guys!
Now THAT is a good looking shirt! You are so right about respecting out older ones. They have done so, so much and have such a story to tell if only we would listen. Thank you guys for your support in this project.
Always loved your channel, always loved Matt's channel. Great to see you working together.
Matt and we are really cool guys. Glad to work with them
Fab Rat, Matt's Recovery Team, and Beards and Bikes, doing a community service for Ed, who doesn't know what he's about to be blessed with. You guys have hearts of gold.
Much respect to you guys for this build. Thanks for boldly sharing your faith!
Thanks
Thanks. My Dad died last summer at the age of 85. I respected him. He had that godly wisdom that comes with age and a life lived well. It's good to honor Ed and remind us of what's important.
I loved when Ed took off on the Rokon and Matt ran alongside like a Dad teaching his kid to ride a bike.😄💕
I got a little scared when he gave it some throttle haha
Matt
That’s true LOVVE YOU GUYS HAVE FOR ED. I really enjoy the love you and your friends have to each other and the LOVE you all give to ED. I wish a lot of people would be like you guys.
Love seeing Ed’s smile in this video. He was really enjoying himself.
I am so grateful of the respect that both of you showed Ed. He is such a special Man and he is beloved by everyone. Watching you and Matt run beside him as He rode, to protect him, was just heart warming. And watching how he was treated as Matt was in the other room giving added commentary on the story, just me happy.
You both are good Men and I look forward to exploring more of your content as this is my first experience with you.
Ed's smile watching the Rokon rolling is everything
It's great to see Ed and his Rokon coming back to life. I have a 2009 Rokon just like yours, but yours is newer than mine. The different and improved air box is how you can tell. When you turn the handle bars, the front drive disengages and makes it easy to turn. They are advertised to go up a 60 degree grade, and will do it, if you can hang on.
Been looking forward to this video for a while. Keep up the great work guys!!
Thanks! Will do!
This whole adventure is so heartwarming. I'm almost as old as Ed, surrounded by kids & grandkids. I watch them play video games, not really interested in the stories, adventures, & knowledge I have aquired in 70+ years. Thank you guys for showing Ed the wonderful respect he so deserves......
Ed rocks! So heartfelt how Ed rides with his angels protecting at his sides. Don't see Hawaiian shirts in PA snow enough!
Newcomer to your channel here.
Was looking for the progress with Ed's things when I found you folks, and your remarkable way with Ed, and his Rokon.
Your respect of elders is a breath of fresh air.
God bless you guys!
You guys show,so much respect, to Ed.
Respect to you! 👍🏼
We are pleased to do it because it’s right
Amen bro on the respect & what they have to offer my dad was born in 1921 & he knew more than any one I have know but I loved just sitting around talking to him. god bless & ty 4 everything ur doing it's a great thing ur doing
Great episode guys. Great job on doing Ed’s Rokon. Great stories Ed had. I was wondering if Ed would ride the Rokon.. I wasn’t disappointed.
You say Ed got all excited for a moment when you showed him your bike, I though he got emotional and all but chocked up. I really cant wait to see the bike finished along with the Golden Nugget, sheesh you are all going to blow him away. Sheesh, he deserves some kind attention in his later years, Bless. You guys are all wonderful and it is a pleasure watching all the new channels Matt has brought us to.
Everything you guys are doing for Ed is really cool, Ed is awesome! :D
Good job Sir!
You touched his heart made his day! When he saw you had one ,it was Christmas morning and he was 12 again! God Bless You
Ed is a (SUPERSTAR)... damn near a movie when you add up all the videos.
would be cool to make a compilation video for us and ED.
I know I'm a bit late to the party but I had to comment, you guys running beside Ed says it all! True respectful gentlemen you are, we all khow much Matt loves and cares for him and with the work he organised for him shows that. Thank you for your part in Eds amazing gifts you earned yourself a sub!
Ed is fortunate to have so many friends that care. One caution I would offer is that Ed will be overwhelmed by what you are doing and will be inclined to prove the value of the gift. Once the bike is restored, is it safe for Ed to be riding on it?
Thank You . Good to se everybody having so much fun . . Also a fine reminder of how much wisdom Ed and his generation have
Following edds vehicle's adventures across so many channels has been great need to crack the whip with Robbie n crew to get the nugget ready
There was a Sunday school song that talked about being a "Sermon in shoes " . Selfless loving concern , that results in a kindness for someone you've never even met, preaches the Love of Jesus pretty loudly !!!! Thanks for letting us share in your ministry .
Ed deserves it.
He's a legend.
yeah he does, hes such a cool guy
Thank you for understanding what this older generation brings to the table. Most young people have no respect for us. Thanks again, have fun, enjoy what you do and life can be a blessing by giving it a chance. You kids are awesome all of you for doing this for Ed. You can imagine how many times Ed dreamed of this. This old guy signing out.
DAMN BRO THAT DAMN MOTORTRACTORBIKE CAN DO ANYTHING
This has got to be the best TH-cam video. The moles of smiles on Ed’s face says it all. Noble thing your doing for the old guy.
Ed is a national treasure
You Guy's are the BEST !! Ed is Zevving !! Respect for Elders !!! Thank You All Involved in this Project ! Bless
It's amazing how all of you are pitching in and bringing back the old day's to the new day's for Ed ! Ed reminds me of my grandfather a lot . I've been trying to keep up with everybody's channel's on the building of both vehicle's.
Never seen Ed in any of the videos smile or laugh like that. It is fantastic to see him light up like that. Congrats to Ed and all the people helping with this restoration and the Golden Nugget. All the videos are awesome. Just fire content!!!
Ed. Salt of the Earth. Thank you to all the folks that are making the nugget surprise possible. Special thanks to Matt, family and friends that had the forethought to include so many wholesome and talented people along for the journey. Thank you.
Ed’s one amazing guy and it’s wonderful to see all of those who love him pulling off this surprise. 💕 You couldn’t wipe that smile off his face, while he was watching the young folks ride it. I loved watching him ride it. Job said it best, didn’t he?
Thank you. This is priceless and you guys are wonderful for helping Ed. I've kept up with the bike and Suzuki restore. This is so amazing to witness this much love in these awful times of hatered in which we live. The youth of today can not comprehend the love esp for our elders we once experienced here in america.
Watching Ed's eyes as the guys were riding that new ROCON you knew he was remembering past rides & itching to get on it. What a distraction for what's to come for him. You guys are gonna make Ed's Century. Blessings on all of you.
I must admit, I had tears in my eyes, the way you Matt and your family and all your friends look after Ed and respect him, that is so lovely.
The elderly have some awesome stories to tell, all you have to do is listen. In the 1990's I delivered mail to a senior living condo, it was my favor it part of my day to hear them regale their adventures as I sorted their mail.
I have been following this entire story from the beginning, I have loved every bit of it. So many people going above and beyond for Ed. The work Paul and Rabby and his group have done is amazing!
i think every town should do something for every older person as they come of a certain age. they really do go un noticed an almost forgotten an the only time we ever get to hear anything about them is once they have already passed and its untelling how many amazing storys have went untold cause of it an we really should start doing something to show them some appreciation an that they still have tons to offer us even if it is the stories they have to tell. its probably not something that can be done but all the companys that are around now was able to grow cause of the hard work these old timers put in so they should be the ones paying it forward to them, the smallest thing to show appreciate to the would bring them more joy than anything.
Always respect your elders and use your manners, it doesn't cost a penny and will get you everywhere in life. Great video, Ed's a legend, and great to see everyone pull together for this amazing project.
I salute you guys for the love and respect you provide to Ed an all elders.
Greetings from México.
- hey guys you all are doing a wonderful thing for Ed - you made him a young man again, man seeing this video and what your doing is so beautiful, made me smile along with Ed - thanks
At 7:43. I love that child look ED gives when the banana is riding on it's side . So young at heart . Love that Matt is doing all this for him . God, i love you guys.
Thank you for everything you did. This entire series of everyone's channels all working together on the Nugget and Rokon has been fun and inspirational.
This is why I watch these videos! Good people! Matt is a great guy! You can tell he loves Ed so much! Ed is the man! I started watching these vids 2-3 yrs ago. Now Its Fab Rats & Robby! Again..good people IMO!
I love the way you guys are all coming together to do this for Ed love you guys everyone involved in this! Absolutely restores my faith in humanity!
Matt's loyalty to Ed is very humbling. Matt gives him him the respect he deserves. More you watch Matt's channel, the more I completely get the relationship between those two. We all need more guys like Ed and Matt. Yes, catch Robby's work on the nugget. To say he 'is going above and beyond' is an understatement. I thought I knew a little bit about bodywork and paint. I learned there is another entire universe of custom body and paint. Double that, put it on steroids and that is Robby's work on that rig. That setup is going to attract crowds.
Men, I have just started watching your channel thanks to your taking on the Rokon build. Your sharing of the scripture on this video is right on track. What a blessing our elders can be. The chair was icing on the cake. Bringing out your own bike to share was priceless. I can see from the scripture you add to each video you understand the special word of God. You are not ashamed to share in a ever darkening world. Keep up the Good Work. Let your light shine before men. The bikes and beards are cool too
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video
the Love everyone shows ED is priceless, this makes the third Chanel I am following that features Ed, friends and toys, keep up the great work
