Get your GHPC Sturgis shirt before they are all gone! www.grindhardplumbingco.com/
The silhouette of Ethans helmet, the front tire and his hands on the handlebars would make a killer full back cover on a hoodie
Ethan!!!!! Wear a jacket..... road rash is a REAL thing that does happen. Please.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo i'm not saying the new merch is bad, i love it, but i still really like the simple ones
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo Your vision is unmatched 🤖
You guys were having way too much fun!
"Unregistered Homemade Contraption" sounds like a good idea for a shirt lol
Unregistered homemade contraptions are probably felonies in the state of California.
Came to say the same thing
And definitely would make a great bumper sticker😂
Shut up and enjoy the show ya goof!
hell yeah the the shirt and the bumper sticker. I need them
I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong and I'm totally wrong when I posted awhile back that there was no way I thought that motor could turn that wheel with that small of a rear sprocket. That thing is amazing. Could easily be the winner of the most unique vehicle of 2024. Well done Grind Hard Plumbing! You guys rock. Glad you guys had a good time.
Wow...First Person Ever Fo Admit They Were Wrong On The Inter Webs...You Win Today Sir🤠 Grind Hard, Thanks For Sharing!
that is what you get for not understanding basic physics. You made up something and had to be proven wrong. Not like this is the first time somebody has done this, either.
Na that thing still don’t turn
@@jf8138 Why so bitter lol
I feel like the monster chopper is Ethan personified. Of all the things he has built, it is the MOST Ethan thing and I love it.
and only he can ride it cause he is the only one that doesn't tip it😂😂😂
Its the most bad ass bike ive ever seen honestly. He did really good work to it.
the magnum opus
@@Arithrykauntil his next magnum opus.
I don't know how you could top the monster chopper but I'm sure Ethan can and will.
Ethans definitely in top 5 legendary automotive youtubers
Controlled chaos, broken parts, and no broken bones....GRIND HARD has evolved so much over the years....thanks for showing us the SPIRIT of Sturgis. 🎉 🏍
the way Ethan handled that monster around the barrel race was outstanding
that was impressive .... great job
My mind is blown how well it works. The whole thing is form over function yet somehow manages to function amazing anyway!
Big smile on my face
Agreed! I've done barrel racing on horse back and it's FAST..... But a Ethan did surprisingly way better than I thought 👍
It's amazing what you can get away with in the States, here in Australia you'll be booked if your tyres are1mm outside the bodywork. The ADR's (Australian Design Rules" means the end of anything out of the stock "ordinary".
This bike 100% needs to be in a video game. Borderlands comes to mind. But anything post-apocalyptic works.
It needs to be in the next Mad Max movie.
perfect for last day on earth
Man, please do whatever it takes to keep Padrick on the channel. The content is so much stronger with him on the team!
Preach!
YES! Patrick is so cool. I would love to see him in more videos in the future!
agreed
Rolling the busa solo just cemented that fact. Absolutely brilliant addition to the team 🙌
YUPP!
I love how in the "slowest wins" race, Ethan just sat still at the starting line. I lol'd so hard.
Man, that solo needs a winter mode. Skies up front with some tracks out the back with that Hayabusa in it. 👌
the monster chopper is exactly what I would want to do if I ever made a bike. the rust, the absurdity, and the realization of the word fun. the artistic twist that got put into the rear axle spoke to the blacksmith part of me lol
Rolling a grind hard machine is just an initiation ritual at this point. If you don't crash something, you're out.
The "only 19 left on the road now" really got him. I would have felt the same way.
I feel like they should either build an exocage on the solo, or bring back the boys with the English wheels and roll some steel fenders
@@orangeracecar996 I mean, the silver lining about there only being 19 on the road are there are literal HUNDREDS in junkyards. So ya know, the parts aren't the issue.
I'm a 70 yr old gearhead. Love seeing this kind of thing. you're great doing it. Keep it up.
The bounce of the bike a high speed is probably due to the wheels not being perfectly rounded since they removed part of the rubber. But I noticed that at the end of the video only the front tire was bouncing, meaning that the burnouts that they did with the rear tired rounded it, swapping the wheels and then doing a burnout to even it out will probably fix it for good
I agree. Needs a burnout on the other tire
@@waynerohde1036 Burn out the other tyre and then get them balanced properly. Should make 90 then as long as the axle is up to it. You can also gear for speed if you want to. A wonderful beast.
It's not just the wheels. The suspension is too soft to dampen vibrations.
He said that already in the video
I'm surprised Ethan didn't build some kind of super sketch tire lathe to turn them down all nice like.
The monster chopper was probably the highlight of Sturgis
2:37 “if it was remotely legal…” proceeds to drive down the road 😂😂 love this about some of these rural areas of the US ❤
I got a bike with a registration sticker that reads 1995. Cops see it all the time, they don't mind
Yeah it's great when the cops decide they should chase you out of town for your politics or skin color
I live in Wyoming and have a MPV license plate on my 4 wheeler. I love freedom. "multi purpose vehicle."
Editor killed it on this one never felt too long
Thanks man! It was a hard one to edit but glad how it turned out
I love Edwin's editing! He is so passionate about it and I think that is something that really levels up their channel compared to other automotive content creators.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo was an awesome video major event a lot going on loved it
This is the exact comment I came here for.
…. Literally A1 editing Sir!🤌🏾
I was smiling through the whole video :)
0:38 look at those heckin good puppers
You know I usually think these kinds of comments are weird but this video really cheered me up. My grandmother died today and while we knew it'd be coming soon it still doesn't change the fact. I'd been feeling really bummed and just out of it today but this video showcases all of what life is about in a beautiful dumb amalgam of humanity. Crunching together a completely impractical motorcycle with 40in tires just to do it, getting together with some friends and just having a good time. Reminds me of what to look forward to and what really matters in life. Cheers everyone
Sorry for your loss man. Glad to provide laugh or two. Enjoy life in your grandma’s honor!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo Much love y'all!
🙏❤
"Weird" comments are the best! ;)
How this video doesnt have over a million views already is beyond me! Killer video, killer footage, killer editing! Keeping doing GHPC things!
Off-Road Balancing beads are amazing! Put a couple pounds of those in each tire and you can probably get rid of that hop above 55.
I run them in my jeep, and it is surprising how well they work.
I was thinking the same. It would be interesting first to see how concentric the OD of the tire is with the axle. That's a lot of tire and even if it is out a 1/4" it would be a significant amount of weight. True it up and then dump the beads in. If he brings the tire into balance as close as possible first it will only make it easier for the beads to work well and he would need less of them which should make it more stable over bumps.
They have been using thise beads in dump trucks and large unbalancing tires for years
I think the burnout also helped smooth the tires themselves. Swap the front and rear and do it again. I bet it could hit 100 without the bounce (in some undisclosed location in Mexico, of course)...
@@MagentaRV If it topped out at 70 on level ground, it will never make it to 100. Not even downhill. It runs out of gearing before it runs out of power.
what a hell of an experience man, thanks for taking us with you, really felt like we got to see the event with yall
Devastated I could not make it this year, after editing this I see a Harley swapped Grom in my near future for Sturgis 2025!
Use and evo motor out of late 90s soft tail
Where's the cheap maverick overland build!
@@sagesends Still working on it
Harley powered off-road Go kart?
Make it a PanHead!
I'm favoured, $50K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my communitv and also support God's work and the church.God bless

A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some professional advice.
No I don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance
From my personal financial advisor
..
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states a also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..
Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned Elizabeth Rossiello, thought I'm the only one trad ing with her
Jay Leno is going to want to see the Monster Chopper.
That would be a nice full circle moment. We took the Barbie car to him when we first started
@GrindHardPlumbingCo
That was only 5 years ago, and you guys have grown exponentially. I'm sure Jay Lenos jaw would drop seeing the absolute machines you guys have built, and how far you've come since then. I'm loving every minute of it. Godspeed my brothers.
Awesome! Idea for getting air around tire to intake. Maybe some type of scoop connected above the lights on the side of the front wheel and connect to air intake with dryer duct tube, maybe 🤔😝
I don't know where you found Patrick, but keep him around. Will left an open wound, and Patrick is our dilaudid.
Homie in the golf cart sounded hammered! 🤣
He was Kamala Harris drunk!
@@blurglide what the hell does that even mean?
@@christophersmith5996 Half the time, when Kamala Harris is speaking off-script, she sounds drunk
@@blurglide get your politics out of here homie no one wants them here
Man, it was awesome to get to see these machines up close. Even better was getting to kick with y’all for a few days! Til next time, cheers! 🍻🤠
You know what? The guy stopping at 4am to make sure you guys weren't thieves....... What a legend! That's community service right there. A person of the public who cares about local businesses so much that they are willing to confront potential danger. Whilst you guys were probably sound asleep, this dudes heart was probably racing contemplating what he was going to do if you were up to no good?
The dude deserves at least my recognition anyway.
Thanks random stranger for making less cynical of the world 💓
Top 5 best channels on YT. The exhaust, front driving profile, lean angle when cornering just make this the baddest thing on two wheels in the US. Wow it looks so fun to ride!!!
I’d be completely fine with Ethan if he called himself the Batman from now on
"I am BATMAN....... WHERE ISN SHE!"
I can't believe Evan from CBoys rode it and brought it back in one piece, broke but one piece. The long exposure shot at night was real cool also camera Steve, great video
I am almost 100% positive I saw you drive by my house with the beast on the trailer. Benefits of living near Sturgis haha. 😁🤘
Patrick, Patrick, Patrick you are definitely a part of the G.H.P.C. family!
What a good time! You guys are killing it and thanks for the hospitality 🎉
OK. I was having a shit day. Pissed off for hours thinking about really bad stuff. Super depressed. Then I saw the slow race and I laughed my ass off watching Ethan just sit there. Thanks guys. You really brightened my day and pulled me out of my funk.
Glad we could provide a laugh man! There’s always a bright side!
Thank you so much for taking time out of your fun week to pick up some large trash from our beautiful Black Hills!
The guys saying “are you not entertained” is my favorite
Headlights are like "what are we even doing here?"
"are you as concerned as I am? nahhh, they got it." 🤣🤙
I'm almost crying, that's how beautiful this video is. You are all awesome!
I think some of the "armored" motorcycle gear would look really cool while riding the monster chopper.
I hope we can expect to see some upgrades to the driveline in the future. The monster chopper deserves it.
Something in the style of Mad Max!
@@MrJJandJim or a rusty set of medieval armor with spiked helmet and some fur on the shoulders, lol
Doing the “push of shame,” back to the camp when the chain breaks on the 800lb bike.
Drunk guy: “hey- I want a picture… too- *hic*”😅😂
Possibly one of your best episodes ever. No real fabrication but such a solid episode!
I never thought it was gonna be rideable and Ethan rides it like it's an extension of his welder
We gotta see more Grind Hard and Cboys!!!
I agree
You make it seems easy to drive The Monster Chopper, but I'm sure no one can drive it like you, what a legend.
Thanks Edwin for the hard work of getting this video out! Been patiently waiting for its release. Thanks again!
Some of that burn out activity reminded me of a visit to Le Manns 24 Hour Superbike meet. During the night it was basically people getting very drunk rather than watching the racing, and I remember a group who had a small Honda that they red lined and stood around cheering until it blew. It lasted longer than they expected I think, and my buddy and I gave up anyway. I got chased by a pair of motorcycle Gendarmes on the way home (I lived in the UK back then), and managed to lose them. As much by being one of a zillion other bikes going the same way, as out running them, but I never saw them after going for it.
ROTFL! Seeing that electric trike runaway with Ethan @13:50 left me crying with laughter.
Huge respect for how Ethan handled the chopper in the Barrel Race. To have all that weight leaned over so far at such a low speed, and perfectly holding it balanced with the throttle, was a masdropped intoterclass in machine control. We'd already seen how difficult it was when the two Harley riders dropped into the turn. Ethan is The Man! 😎
I know dizzy stunts personally! I was stoked to see her in the video! I’ve rode with her in Vegas. She’s a badass
Seeing the Monster Chopper in the Barn at 25:58 where Ethan is repairing it,... gives me the Idea,... whenever you decide to Start on Project Big Red,... you should put a fully out stacked Equipment bay with also some Huge Batteries for a Welder, Mini Lathe with added milling attachment in it, so if something breaks you can literally rebuild the Whole Vehicle, or just repair it,... cant wait to see the next Video
The monster chopper needs aircraft tyres for highway use. And some side pods to giunse the air into the radiator. It looks so sick!
You gotta love these hopelessly optimistic headlights pointing into the wheel.
On God, a GHPC and CBoys is the ultimate TH-cam match up. I didn't even realize how bad I wanted it, until I saw Evan driving the Monster Chopper. STURGIS BRINGS THE BEST OF EVERYONE, and I am 110% here for it! Let the content creation ROLL!
Cboys just need some better riders like Evan/Ethan and they’d be set 😂
Only my second video from you guys. This looks so cool. You guys have so much fun. It breaks and pop you're right there able to fix it in minutes. So cool! To be with a group of free spirited, high-capable dudes; and, just make it happen. Thanks for sharing all of these! 😎😁
Put some bead bags inside of your tires on the monster chopper and the bouncing should go away.The bigger tires aren't balanced enough. Try the bead bags.👌👍🔥
It hilarious to see that even out there in the middle of nowhere, there is still construction going on 😂😂😂
Monster Chopper go wiggle-wiggle but don't fold...🤣🤣🤣
This is possibly one of the most American things I've ever seen, love it
Patrick worth his weight in gold to GHPC. Announce that man is officially here forever!!!
This was awesome and cured my depression, at least for 40 minutes
This might be the best representation of Sturgis for an Outsider to see that I've ever seen. Great job guys! Can't wait to see the 2.5 version of the Monster Chopper.
Very cool looking JANUS bike at 8:51. The rest of Sturgis is crazy. Experienced it twice and that was enough.
The fact Ethan only cares about missing the shot of him rolling proves he's a real friend and a good guy
Monster Chopper Even the front end appearance out and solve cooling issues by making an intake cowl for the side w/o lights. So dope though.
I love that Grind Hard and Westin basically made the same machine for Sturgis! They are even both red!
I know! Such a bummer we missed him!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I'd love to see another colab between y'all and Westin!
i like that the headlights only light up the back of the wheel
12:28 that diabolical reverse was hilarious 😂😂
he was soo drunk
The Solo is nuts. The Hayabusa swapped one even more so. But man, the chopper? Makes the swapped Solo look sane. Awesome!
Got to meet Ethan one day out of random shenanigans. Glad got to see the monster chopper in its glory.
This video has brightened up my day you guys. Truly your magnum opus. Seeing how much fun you and everybody else were having just makes me appreciate you so much more. Thanks for letting us into your life through these videos!
"hole on, I wannnna tay a pish-ure." -Drunk guy at Sturgis '24🍻🍻🍻
this whode thing was soo good start to finish, feels like family and nostalgic, the solo part was so sad but that "there is only 19 of these made me loose it way too much, the r6 looked sary fast in the dirt lol and ma boy here being worried about you taking the turn at 60 its just gold tbh, thats a good man
You deserve an award for the way you barrel race,
Hi guys! I’ve been working on a grind hard plumbing co kinda inspired triwheeler. I’ve been watching you since I was 9 years old and have always loved the pure chaos of your creations, and now I’m old enough to know how to build my own, I wish I could show it to you when it’s finished but I’m not sure how😅 love the vids guys.
Looks like the Dark Knight Batman bike, with the rider hunched down between these two giant, beefy wheels, and basically horizontal forks.
Best Sturgis trip movie I have ever seen ! Love your contraptions !
I can not believe how well Ethan can ride that thing conversely how good it handles.
That Monster Chopper is absolute ART in its purest form. Love it!
Better than anything on TV, great vid!
You young guy are having to much fun i am 71 years old and I love your videos keep up the good work
Great to see Grind Hard at Sturgis. I love the headlight that illuminates the back of the tyre for you. Next year fly the plane there
My liquid cooled Hobbit has a pipe made for me by the co-founder of Janus motorcycles, Devin Biek. Just a tidbit that popped in my head when I saw the bike at 8:51
Edwin needs to build a creation for next year.
😂😢
Oh I will!
Electric Hyabusa
That guy? NEVER 😂😂
Places you can't even walk, at Sturgis. ❤
Way to represent North Idaho in the badlands, guys!!!...absolutely the coolest chopper at sturgis, bar none!!!🤠
Been waiting for this video for ages. I'm getting into and going to school for welding because of you guys! I usually watch on tv so I never comment but I had to comment on this one.
That is awesome! Can’t wait to see what you create at welding school 🔥
Weld!
The world needs more welders.🤘🏼
Those are both some *INCREDIBLE* builds/machines!
How freakin' awesome!!!
please make scene 19:18 a shirt
Double cheeked up lol
So impractical, but so awesome watching this build. This is true American ingenuity...Keep Crushing and Innovating!
Finally an event you can take part in without completely stealing the show!! Looks like a lot of fun!!
Ethan 100% that dude you want as the handy man in a post apocalypse world.
tear the plastic off the solo and mad max the hell out of it. No excuses now
literally one of my favorite builds ive evre seen man. amazing.
The Gambler group is so good, they pick up a lot trash in the forest.
The collab I didn’t know I needed Cboys and GHP ….. this made me so fucking happy
there's other cooling issues. those ktm v twins trap air in the top of the cylinders even with the stock radiator height you need to use the air bleed screws and tip it up to like 20 degrees in the manual. and on yours the radiator is even lower.
👍👍to the Pacific Steel and Recycling yard in Rapid for taking that camper off your hands!
-- *_Enjoyable composition, nicely edited. Thank you, Grind Hard Plumbing Co.!_*
DUDE EVAN BRO!!!
Gotta love the CBoys!
That was incredible, thanks for the show.
