      No absolutely not! You have to end immediately your vacation and come back to work. We, your patrons, want one more video as a gift.
      Congratulations, big hug, health and peace to the next 2024!

    Rusty old floor jack for an engine lift, toaster oven for a powdercoating kiln. I love it. Ingenuity at its finest.

    I have been a motorcycle mechanic for 38 years and have seen a lot of restorations.
    Never have I witnessed work approaching your level of quality.
    You have inspired me to do better. I thank you!
    I am about to begin restoration of my very tired Kawasaki ZRX 1200R.
    I miss the old girl.

    Great job, I love your work. I have an 88 VFR750 I'm doing up and I'm kinda stuck at putting the carb linkages back together. I was a bit disappointed when you finally got to that part and did the old finger click and they just appeared finished. Excellent work though, I love seeing old bikes given a new life. Keep up the good work.

    Hi. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make these videos as you do! They are brilliant. I loved this series on the 400 and also your CR250 series. I have an RVF400 and a TS250ER that both need restoring, so your series of videos has given me the boost and info I needed to get on with it! Its so hard to find quality, well prepared and thought out videos that flow so fantastically well as yours on youtube!! Others usually have some guy whittering on nonsensically, with bad audio and lighting, about something totally unrelated to the job in hand and don't show anywhere near enough of the process and detail. I will start looking through your other videos. I'd love to see some specifically on your plating processes, with more about the individual chemicals you use for each finish etc. Thanks for sharing your projects and putting out the videos you do! Dave
