Man you guys did such an awesome job building the rokon we can’t wait for it to get here and get it painted!! It will be cool to meet you when you come out here!! Thanks for all your help with Ed’s rokon!!
It’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m really excited
@@BikesandBeards Us fans can't wait for the reveal either. Should be great.
Little trivia for you in case you've never heard it before. Back in the day we referred to them as "Tote Goats". Referring to the ability to haul cargo and the ability to "Go On Any Terrain".
I suggested Ed name it the "Golden Goat". shame on me for planting that bug there.
HAGD day guys.
I really think when they said it can drive over cars they meant your kids power wheels cars.
Go go power wheels power wheels power makes you go.
Yo robby that tank looked killer 🔥 you guys rock
@@petehenry7878 no hence old goat it may bother him
In 1975 my college roommate Norm rode his Dad's Harley Electra Glide up 3 floors- 6 flights of stairs- to our room. Sometimes it's not the bike but the riders determination to go anywhere. That was an adventure!
In those days every man did stuff like that
Thats pretty neat and all but why?
@@briansmith2875 cuz why not? 🤷♂️
@@briansmith2875 Because it was there and at 18-19 all that mattered was the challenge. Besides you weren't supposed to...
Remember seeing the ads for the original one in magazines like Popular Mechanics & Mechanics Illustrated back in the day. Always assumed loggers, farmers & the Forestry service bought these. I only saw one in person once at a campground. The owner described it as a motorized mountain goat! Good work, Ed will be proud!😁👍
These things will almost climb a power pole ⚡ 😁
When I was young, I was always fascinated with those ads...
Never bought one, but have owned many motorcycles over the years.
67 and still riding... ✌️
A family in my hometown owned 2 of them back in the '70's. I remember they called them "Tote Goats". Referring to the ability to haul cargo and the ability to "Go On Any Terrain". I suggested Ed name it the "Golden Goat".
They still make them. Pull out that credit card and go for a rip.
Really deserves that name
The amount of communities and friendships that have come out of this collaboration is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you to everyone who has pitched in to get the Golden Nugget and Rokon ready for Ed. I can’t wait to see Ed pull up to a rescue scene in the Nugget.
Nurse eric here, love how Shawn started riding toward the car like he was going to try to gas it over the top then quickly bailed like a smart man. I was laughing, I thought you might go for it, glad you didn’t. Still love the content with Craig and yourself. Keep up the great work fellas. 👍🏼🇺🇸
that was the plan , top use momentum but then i bailed for sure
Great comment I love therevideos too

@@BikesandBeards m?
Seriously glad you two are doing the final build. 🤜🤛
oh yeah
Now that’s how you test drive a Rokon! Great work on the rebuild guys.
Great video really shows the fun you can have on a ROK-ON whole time your telling the wife how hard it was to clear the back 40 👍👍🤙
Hi guys. I've been watching the rebuild of the nugget and the "Baby Nugget ". Back in the mud to late eighties, I work on a Game Ranch in Hluhluwe, in South Africa. There were two Robin's laying under some old tarps gathering dust. Apparently left after a movie being made about Game capture, and the Rokons were used in the movie. They hadn't run for years, but after a bit 8 managed to get one running. I took it for a ride around the ranch. Fun to ride. The only draw back was that mud would get stuck between the wheels and frame, locking up. But it was good fun. Thanks for bring back memories.
Around 1970 my dad sold these at his garage ... the traction on trails over trees and up hills was formidable. As long as you could hang on you could go over almost anything. 😮❤
That thing is literally the child of a tractor and dirt bike. I could see plenty of use for getting equipment and supplies into remote locations and moving stuff around. Definitely a cool tool
The front and rear sprockets from Ed's Rokon are bigger, this alone is a huge mechanical advantage. This is why it has so much more torque. Well done guys!
I am enjoying the new videos even more than the ones before you sold everything. Just two guys having a blast. Best of luck to both of you!
Man I already wanted one of these bikes bad and now after seeing the video I want one even more. Love this series and can’t wait to see the end result when Ed see’s the bike. I bet it gets him back out riding again. Awesome series.
Same here...
I have a 69 the same as the one in the video. its fun to ride, but its not all that fun at the same time. The slowness of it kind of just brings down the fun level. But it will pretty much go anywhere you point it within reason. I mainly use it during hunting season. I've had 4 deer in the sled behind it and dragged it miles out of the woods.
Thank you for sharing from your work on Ed's neat two-wheel goat!
Nice job! I have always admired Rokon's since the '70's. Ed is going to love this.
Awesome Sean and Craig!!!! This project is so good!!!! watching you guys reviving this bike has been a pleasure to see!! Can't wait to see Eds face when it's presented to him!!!
Hope you guys are there when Ed get all three of his stuff giving to him you look like you enjoy doing this build for Ed going to be a lot of tears that day as well
Thanks for the great videos. I did not know they still made those bikes. I remember the old bikes back in seventies when I was a kid. And thought they were pretty cool.
Ed will be so happy can’t wait to see Ed heading down the road in the golden nugget with the Rokon in tow you guys are awesome just like all the people Matt and Matt’s off road recovery, Paul and Fab rats as well as Robbie Layton and his crew and all the people in between, great gestures of love for that grandfather everyone sees in Ed.
Thanks guys you've givin me the motivation to change my stator out today ive been working on a bike but I've had many hardships so far and I'm so close to being done
What a plus having the larger diameter tires. Always like the fat tire bikes for the beach sand use. Had no idea this machine existed until to you both started working on it and showing some of its mechanical workings, thank you both.
Bless you guys for this awesome build
i had same business as you since 1973, just not a as big,just love working on bikes,68 now,.still doing it.
A classic case of newer isn't always better IMHO .
You guys do a great job on rebuilds/restorations and I also dig the variety of content you bring to the channel too .
Robbie does fantastic work too . I almost wanna find a car to crash and ship it over from the UK for Robbie to fix . He's THAT good LOL .
Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you
Fattrucker
Oh man I love the shows like this it's like a step back in time this was the best video I've watched all week.
Look forward to seeing you in Utah for the reassembly - you will really like the environment and the vibe - great job rebuilding the Rokon and giving it a proper test.
You guys rock!! Love everything about this channel 🔥🔥🔥
hey thanks mr
I had a 1966, about the same condition as Ed's. I can't count how many times I was peeled off the bike because the bush got too tight. The Rokon would just keep going, the only limit I found was my ability to stay on it. Best thing to do is think of it as a trials bike, put the bars higher and stand up more often. You guys did a good job bringing this one back.
Clearly the best channel on this platform, I love your videos, keep up the good work !
Thanks for redoing Ed’s Rokon, looks awesome! Fun watching.
You guys are awesome for what you did for Ed. Just amazing guys.
Always encouraging to see a new one of your videos. Thank you 🙏😇
Oh yeah, the ROKON. Built New Hampshire tough baby!
God bless you too Amy, in Jesus name! Having a wonderful day and hope you are too. Blessings.
Excellent, as always! I so remember those things advertised in the back of 60's era Popular Mechanics. Never had a chance to hear or see one run. Great job!
Watching this video brought back good memories of me and my old buddy Cowboy (RIP) 14 years old at the time, riding our Honda 90s through the woods, mud, trees, etc., just to get to the hard roads where we’d ride our butts off. Of course our parents didn’t know we were on the highways, we were just “trail riding”. Love watching your videos. God Bless
Awesome video. You can never have enough Rokon videos! Keep em coming.
More to come!
I knew if anyone could do it, it would be you guy's! Thanks so much for your help and hard work getting this done for Ed! can't wait to see it finished, omg it going to be amazing.
You guys rock!!! Helping Matt and crew's guys and gals bring a smile to a old prospecter
Ed is young at heart. I hope to be like him when I’m old
This is how I first heard about your channel was when Matt or Paul was talking about who all was helping out on Ed’s Rokon. I been watching your channel ever since. You guys are awesome and extremely generous people. God bless each and everyone of you.
Ed could hook a MORR rope to his Rokon and do some recoveries! 😋 You guys are making me want one of those!
So awesome what you guys have done for Ed. God Bless.
Y'all are nutz!
Looks like lots of fun. Great job getting Ed's Rokon running.
Awesome job!!!! I'm a dedicated fan of the Golden Nugget/Rokon projects across all the channels, and I'm loving the hard work and dedication everyone's put into this....
Great job guy's. Ed is going to love it. Great video keep them coming. Stay safe and God be with u.
Fun demo. Complete build, nice.
Thank you 2 guys GOD bless. From Watertown Wisconsin.
Had that same motor in a Fox go-cart when I was a kid. Listening to the exhaust brought back nice memories.
That Rokon is an amazing piece of machinery & you guys done an awesome job getting it restored. Well done!
Love the vids they never disapoint!
You and Craig are the bomb. Hell, I've never even owned a motorcycle and yours is a favorite channel. The mix of humor and tech challenges make every video a relaxing, enjoyable part of my day. So, just a general hats-off to you guys. Thanks.
thank you so much eric
love every video!
always leaving me wanting more!
Pretty awesome!! Ed is gonna love his Rokon and Suzuki for sure!!
The Li'l Nugget sounds rad, and looks like a blast! Thanks for doin' Ed a solid, as usual! Good on ya, guys! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
That is very impressive and that was some incredible riding which you were doing with Ed's Rokon and your Rokon was fantastic. I would have been panicking trying to get up on the hood of the car and also going over those logs. It is great that y'all stepped up and help Matt to make a big surprise for ED what an awesome deal. I hope you have a great week and take care.
Awesome job guys!! Ed is going to be SOOOO totally surprised!! 😃
You guys are Awesome!! My favorite episode yet!! Ed will love it!!
The tank is looking real good. Robby did a great job on it.
Brings back so many memories. Great vids guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work guys! Based on the tank, the gold on Ed's little tugger will be awesome, I'd be worried about scratching it up - not sure how many log piles Ed will be climbing with it. Love the new one you have too, they are cool bikes. God bless.
Dang, so many people are involved with this surprise for ed, I love it!!!
That's crazy that power that thing has !
Its Going to Look Great. I Love the color on the tank.
A Wonderful color for the rebuilt Bike.
He Will Love it for Sure.
Great Video.
😊✌👍😁
Wow I didn’t realize you could ride a Roku … mine just hooks up to my tv and streams netflix shows! I’m taking it out to the back yard as soon as I get home !!!
Just love the fact that my two favourite channels are working together for Ed!
I really appreciate the real world testing you guys did for this video
Looks like an insane amount of fun & especially in the snow. Find some nice snowmobile trails & tow a toboggan up hills.
Love the rokon. Keep rocking on
The Rokon looks AWESOME! Ed is going to be very happy
Nicely done guys.
Love 2 strokes! Great job guys. Awesome!
That was super cool guys!
Thanks!
Way more adds than I would expect. You had some fun!
it will be so cool to see this on the trailer behind the nugget great job gentleman
You guys are nuts and I love it!
Ed's Rokon looks to run well, so good job guys, can't wait to see it finished - reckon Ed will be totally wrapped.
Someone who’s from PA and Utah this is cool to watch.
Awesome stuff guys. Totally old school rocks.
New is not always improved.
Another great video. If I’m not careful I might learn something. Thanks.
Sean, you and Craig make a great team. Looks like you guys had a great time. By the way I left you a reply on your last Oley swap meet video. Good luck guys!
I think the biggest advantage of Ed's is that the seat height is lower so you can use your legs to keep it upright easier
Shaun I’m a lot older than you but I wish you were my dad, basically you would encourage everyone and everything. God bless you.
Another great video! Commenting to help the channel 🤘
You guys do great work and this one was for a great cause. You rock!
Thanks so much!
I rode an original version a decade ago. It was a rough riding bastard with no suspension. My childhood 1969 Honda 70 didn't have much suspension but it rode like a Cadillac compared to an old Rokon.
Just a pogo seat post would have probably been enough and it would still preserve the classic lines that original bike shape has.
Great video guys 👌
Amazing the 4 stroke spins tires so loaded up with great torque/gearing
4 stroke?
Sick man massive wheel’s
Yeah you got the Rokon done and Ed gonna be excited hope to see you in Utah as soon as it has been painted
Ed is going to be so stoked when he has all his toys. Totally way cool.
Like a 6 year old on Christmas morning. I have a feeling that he misses his bike more than the golden nugget. He seemed so fond of it.
Always look
Forward to your videos like fort nine. Love Friday videos.
Thanks for watching that means a lot
Absolutely Awesome you should have climbed up that dirt embankment too lol love it I seen Robby when he painted the gas tank he did a awesome job
awesome job you guys
I love the week whacker soundthe old one makes
Cant wait to see this finished!!!
I've always wanted to ride one. You guys have rad projects
Excellent job
WAIT WTF!!!!!!! I Watch MOR ALL the time! how did I miss this collab?! I am catching up but damn I knew about the nugget and now I am finding out about this?!!!!!! Holy shit
Ed is so awesome and now two of my favorite channels are/have done things for him!!!
Oh yeahhhhh
The fact that the new one spun both tires on the pavement with 550-600 lbs of dudes sitting on it is very impressive. It did it pretty much without slipping the clutch at all too. I was impressed
Newer doesn't always mean better, Great video guys!
