What a rollercoaster. You kept everything in, including your failures. Nice to see that.
I follow your journey from the first video and oh my god how refreshing these videos are, no bullshit. Just trial and error getting the job done. I've been in a similar situation mentally few years ago and I must say working on the bike and travelling really helped. I worked from home aswell and I just couldn't stand seeing same 4 walls anymore. I'm at much better place now, mainly because of the T7 I've build and it took my mind away over to something to do. Keep it up
dude--> just makin it happen.
Your move to Mexico during covid was genius!! I am watching from New Zealand, enjoying seeing the Bonneville transform, & hearing the whole tale unfold.
I heard NZ is amazing for riding… maybe one day
Sweet to hear you did some early work Tim at Hitchcox currently am planning my exhaust with him
Yep he is a master, and this was definitely a very early commission.
Nice videos
Enjoying these!
You are lucky with your professional life... although you might not always like it, it helped you get forward. That beeing said, my wife and me are cut of the same wood. We cant stay too long in one place, although we have two kids. But we managed and are in a good place now. What I really wanted to say is, that youre showing the same determination with youre bike that I did when I was 15 and found a 150ccm east german scooter in my dads garage. It was build in the late 60ies and I, young as I was, with limited ressources, managed to get that bike running again. Without a license (still abit too young) I drove it just up and down our suburban street. People complained. It was around 1988. I went on summer break to my grand parents and when I came back, my dad had sold the bike for 200 bucks. I was devastated, but I guess he wanted to get rid of the neighborhood ppl complaining. Only a two years later the wall came down (I'm from East Berlin) and I went at some point after that to a bike exhibition in a convention center. I saw the same bike that my dad sold for 200 bucks exhibited there as a rarity bike worth 5000. You can imagine how angry I was about my dads ignorance and selfishness. ---- nonetheless, motorbikes have been and are my passion when it comes to motorized transportation. I own now a Columbian classic street bike that isnt exactly sexy, but I love it and I ride it every day, despite the chaotic and dangerous driving conditions here in Costa Rica, where I live now.
Wow that's quite a story. Dang, I'd be pretty upset too - you had your heart set on this thing that you could actually claim as yours and it vanished just like that - with a sale. Interesting how the attachment to motorcycles comes so often from an early age and isn't something you just shake off when you are older.
killer videos
Nice content bro...very insightful
Way better than those build videos than focus more on cinematography and gimmicks ....rather than actual build content.👍👍👍
i had 2 rides one after another, totally 2+ weeks and after return lockdown came in a week. Brrrrr
I kind of imagine all things you do with your bike. I had Bonneville 2014 model. I was doing offroad a bit with stock street tyres, but generally it was too heavy for it. Anyway college i used to work went out of business and i sold my Bonnie because maintenance in India was too high for jobless person. Well it was too high for any person even with good job. Any small thing cost huge money in India. I broke 2 times gear shift lever - that small metal piece here was very costly.
I can imagine. Probably the closest place to India that will have spare parts for Triumph is Thailand? Yeah they are too heavy for "off road" but given enough open space it's a bit like surfing on a big couch...
Here is a Wikipedia link to the Scooter I was talking about: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Roller_berlin_IWLSR59_berlin_tm.jpg

that is my name, don't wear it out
COVID was strange only for the people that are more suited to be barn animals over being critical thinking individuals
