MERCH: mr-darcy-the-o...
The love between a father and a son produces the best young men.
Welcome back Sr. Darcy.
Cheers from America.
PS. unlike so many fake reviewers on youtube who provide only positive reviews because they are given products to promote rather than critique, thank you for your honestly. As it turns out the public...some at least, can tell the difference.
Thank you 😊
Well said Sir!
Good to see you back. I bought a NX500 recently as a second bike as I wanted a practical, economical, do everything, easy to live with machine that was cheap to buy and it hits the nail squarely on the head. Just completed a three day 600 mile tour around the north of England and the Scottish Borders in some pretty horrendous conditions and sometimes you just want a bike that’s easy to live with. The wind protection is great, it’s sit up comfortable and really light to manoeuvre around and has a tank range of 300+ miles returning over 80mpg. As for cleaning, it’s a quick wash down with a hose and soft brush, 10 mins max (there’s nothing to polish) and a spray with chain lube once a week (mine has a centre stand). It’s not a bike to be precious about, it’s a workhorse, and that makes it very easy to like.
Welcome back.. and deffo still the best Chanel specially in our wet uk.
And Darcy did well keeping the Chanel going.. must be a proud ol man moment
Thank you, yes I am very proud of him 👍🏼
5 months without the Old Man reviewing bikes ... C'mon Yamaha, you should have given him a TW200 for all that time (and let him keep it).
I would pay money to see him ride one =)
@tf9888 It would have been an ideal model for the muddy conditions that Darcy's father encountered. Maybe that model was never sold in the UK.
The Honda CB/NX 500 is a great bike for economical touring, it handles well and my wife finds it very comfortable when she rides pillion...all bikes are a compromise but mid size Adventure style bikes are particularly good for taller riders who like the 'less is more' approach to motorcycling - horses for courses! I've recently ridden a Victory and a Thruxton, both offering a visceral experience that I can really appreciate for a short ride.....I hope the relocation goes well. Cheers. 👍
Great to have you back! Darcy has done a sterling job, as we all know he has a lovely personality for presenting, very genuine, knowledgeable, and interesting. My wife is not into bikes but loves this channel, but I think she fancies the old man. Keep up the good work guys 👍
You trimmed your beard! Welcome back ol friend! Glad you're doing well. Boy, you live long enough (I'll be 69 in August) and you endure the battles. You overcome them. When you're older overcoming the usual physical pains takes way longer. I have to push myself to gear up and ride. I know I'll be sore after an afternoon of riding that puzzles other riders when they see my snow white almost Billy Gibbons-esque beard peering out under my helmet!
My father hated motorcycles. He equated them with Hells Angels. In fact, he gave away my motorcycle back in 1983. He's gone now. I ride.
Please, Darcy and Sr...... don't take it for granted. I would have loved to have a father who shared a love of something together with me. To ride with me.
Ride safe. Ride together. Some of us long to have that bond. I'm a lone wolf I guess now so seeing you two together? It's like nice wool socks and heated grips. 😉
Thank you 😊
Welcome back! Your struggles to find the sidestand on the Honda and your comments about practicality started me thinking, when exactly did the motorcycle manufacturers decide that we no longer need centerstands? Apparently they all agree that we need lots and lots of chains, but no centerstands to help service those miserable chains. Only Royal Enfield haven't figured it out yet, they still give their bikes centerstands.
It happened with Sports bikes. My 1987 GSXR1100 had no centre stand. Weight, ground clearance and maybe looks were the reason. I never missed it.
Agree. Latest trend , no front mudguards.
@@columbmurray Yep, it seems we no longer need those either. I guess noone ever rides in the rain anymore (the people who design modern motorcycles surely never have.)
I must say, proud to see a strong father son connection in todays day and age where unity and family is frowned upon.
I am so used to seeing only Darcy now that it seems strange seeing the two of you together! Darcy has done an amazing job alone;-).
Good to hear that all is working out for the Ol' Man. You are great together. I look forward to the bright future too!
I am visiting my home state of Vermont at the moment. There is a Rutland, Vermont here. The name probably came from there.
Thank you! It’s exciting times ahead. Oh wow that’s cool, I bet the name did come from here 😁
From one “ol’ man” to another: welcome back! So sorry to hear about the painful, lengthy process on the move. These are crazy times. Glad it all sorted out for the best in the end. Cheers!
Fantastic to see the old man back on the channel. He’s a flippin legend !
I flicked over to Harry’s channel to watch his review of the CBX 1000.
OMG what a sound. I think I may have to buy one.
CBX is 1032 cc.’s, six cylinders/carburetors, chain drive, 15 mpg! I had an ‘82 CBX (German model) if memory serves 4.5 gallon tank; they would pass anything BUT a gas station every 50 minutes or so.☹️
I think it's good to open your eyes to all types of bike. Over 50 years I've had a great variety and still own a sports bike, a retro, a scooter, a classic and a Harley. Enjoy the different riding experience and love them all. But no BMW's 😂. Good to see the Ol' Man back.
I miss my father, and it's videos like this that makes me remember the good times I had with him. Don't sit there waiting for him to call you, call him and tell him you love him and go do something together. Find something to do that's on a regular basis. Racing, football or any sports, go for a drink in a village pub. I can't stress how much it's important.
Yes it certainly is 💯
Good to see you both together. As an owner of a CB500X I can tell you that machine will take you round the world without a single issue and 100mpg to boot.
Thank you and great to hear 👍🏼
Welcome back ole man! As far as the new NX 500 is concerned, it is typical Honda. I love Honda, have a 2012 Goldwing in the garage and my 1st motorcycle was a 81 XL125 back in my youth, so I’m not a Honda hater. With that said, I think Honda missed a very good opportunity with the new design. They had a chance to really hit a home run, but settled on a walk. What does a home run look like:
Swap the crank for one with a 270 degree crank to give the engine some character.
Two piece seat with adjustability 800-850 should do, think new Himalayan.
Make it a true ADV give it 21” 18” wheels with 200-220mm travel, think CF MOTO 450MT.
One button ABS and TC on/off.
Cruise Control would be the icing on the cake.
Honda could have dominated this lower middleweight class that seems to be growing hotter by the minute, but Honda apparently doesn’t want to swing for the fences.
part 2: Jawa still produces two-stroke motorcycles that were brought to production in the 1990s (Jawa 350 Style),
but also the very nice model Jawa 350 Retro (design from 1970s). The conception of the two-stroke engine is much older; it basically goes back to 1970s. Due to a licensing deal with Mahindra, motorcycles with the brand name JAWA Motorcycles are produced in India and also imported to the Czech Republic (Jawa's were very popular in India a long time ago).
It's great to hear that you are not moving to Spain so that we can see you on the channel with Darcy for a long time to come. I bought my Rockect 3 after watching your reviews, and it was such a great choice.
I am so glad everything worked out for the better. Family is most important.
My father has a Honda CD125t and it’s a 1977(!) model and I ride it sometimes. Just wanted to comment that this machine also is and feels very smooth. So probably the smoothness of Hondas has been a staple for them 🙂
I have a few motorcyles, ROADGLIDE ULTRA 114, 2012 HERITAGE with 103, new HAYABUSA, SUZUKI V-STROM XT 1000, NEW HONDA CRF250F and I think all bikes are beautiful and I wish I had one !!! Great video !!!
Thank you very very much for the mention, very kind of you. Sorry to hear of the troubles you've had moving house I think you did the right thing having the time off and come back with renewed enthusiasm. Suzie and I love following you and Darcy, looking forward to seeing you bike reviews and wishing you all the best for the summer ☀️. Cheers, Sean
No probs 😊 I am pleased to be back working with Darcy and thanks for your comments 👍🏼
Can't lie, at the end of the day we'd all like to end up getting fed biscuits by a pretty Nurse as we ride off into the sunset. 😂😂
😂
Aaaaah the return of the dynamic duo, most awesome. Welcome back Darcy Snr, looking forward to seeing (and hearing - the poddy, that's an awesome listen) more Darcy duo gold. Cheers from down under in NZ
Nice to see the Old Man back! 👍 I'll be very interested to see the Jawa review, as back in 1963 I bought a 250cc single Czech-built one, new from Pride & Clarke in London. It was my sole transport for my 150-mile return commute to my military base and the bike was bulletproof. I liked it so much that in 1984 I bought a 1970-model 350 Twin, completely refurbished it and kept it for 15 years. Wish I still had it and, if they were now imported into Oz, I'd definitely buy another.
Good to see the partnership posting together again. Welcome back Old Man.
Many thanks!
I woked in a care 'ol man' There are many ways people end up in there! Drugs, alcohol, cigs, operations gone wrong, young and old! You keep that body toned and the mind will follow.
It is lovely to see you back with the bond between you and Darcy. My Lads are 32 and we have just spent a week together in Andalucia, it was fabulous as I live in Spain, one sone lives in Australia and the other in Liverpool. Time together is precious!!
💯
Great to see you back together. This year has been one of the worst I can remember for weather. I've a sister who lives in Barcelona, I can see the pull.
Forgot how much I missed to ‘duo’ in action. Darcy has done a brilliant job and great to have the team back together. Good luck Darcy baby sitting the old man in London!
So good to see you back together again guys! Im totally with you on the "never moving again" mantra! we're in the process of moving to rural Suffolk ourselves and think i must say that daily!! 🤯
Yes it is absolutely horrendous selling and buying houses 👍🏼
Am currently touring rural Suffolk and despite what l imagine are the high anxiety levels of moving, I really envy you living here 😂
@goldilocks913 Thanks buddy, yep really can't wait to get there!! 👍
Welcome back to the channel Oldman, good to see you back
Thank you, pleased to be back 👍🏼
Great to see Ol' Man back. I've missed him. Back in the Market Harborough area, then. I'm glad you're not going to Spain. I have a condo in Portugal. Living abroad has more negatives to it than positives. The main benefit is it's cheaper.
The CL500 looks so much better than the NX, even if the latter is an improvement on the old model. Looks are subjective, mind.
Welcome back, Ol' Man. Nick
Thanks Nick, I am pleased to be back 👍🏼
I can't sit and just listen to people talk, except on your channel, i really appreciate your style and content. Great seeing you both back on here. All the best and blessed to you both.
Thanks a lot!
Welcome back 'The Ol' Man'! Looking forward to the new content.
I quite like the looks of the NX but I agree with you, bikes have gone down the car route where they are all euro boxes . It reminds me of the song; ‘And they’re all made out of tricky tacky and they all look just the same’. Good to have you back Old Man.
I don’t know why I enjoyed this so much. Welcome back, I think I really, really missed the chemistry between you two.
The channel is such a resource for bike reviews but the personal touch you add to it makes it a lot more enjoyable.
For the NX, as the former owner of 2 CBX 500s I have to say I agree with all your assessments, the bikes are practical, reliable and easy to ride but have no character at all.
Thank you so much!! Glad you agree!
Nice to see you back ‘old man’, sorry to hear about the moving issues, we’ve moved 14 times, only once more to downsize. Darcy has done a great job, look forward to new videos👍
PS. Used to fly fish at Eyebrook, we lived near Stamford, lovely part of the world.
Glad to see you back together guys, hope all goes well. Best of luck to you both.
It's nice to see you back, Ol'Man!
I'm glad the old man is back, even if he hasn't lived out the ability to move to Spain. You guys are fantastic, and were a driving factor for me to swap my bike for a Harley last week
You two are such a great team. Your interactions are so enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you so much!
Good to see you back.. your house move nightmare is entirely relatable! Sorry to have missed you both at Bike Shed, hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks 😊 and yes we had a great time at the Bike Shed show 👍🏼
So pleased to see the Old man again. Been watching Darcy these last few months and the reviews have been excellent. Just nice to have you both back again 👍
Nice to see the ol’man back. I ride a CB500x and agree with most of what you say about the NX. The design isn’t very exciting and the engine is a bit buzzy but that is because it is geared very low. It’s a 180 degree crank so doesn’t sound as good as the modern 270s, that being said I stuck a cheap Ali express can on mine and it sounds pretty good. Ride safe gents!
Welcome back glad you’ve got the move sorted
Looking forward to the next videos
Good to have the old man back now, love seeing you both together! Agree with y’all about the look of Hondas, I really wish they stuck with the more classic designs they used to have
YEAH❤❤🎉🎉 both of them . Happy for his son. Lost my old man last week.
Thank you and sorry to hear about your dad, hold on to all those happy memories 👍🏼
Sorry for your loss
Sincere Condolences ❤
I am so sorry. Losing a mom or dad is hard to get used to. They’ve been with us all of our lives, and suddenly we have to learn to live without them. I miss my parents.
Condolences to you and your family.
Welcome back! (Didn't have time to stick around for the full length video - as you hinted the Honda is not that inspiring - but glad you're back!)
Welcome back and like it's been mentioned it's great to see such a nice father and son relationship. I love watching your video's, well done.
Good to see you back in action!
The boy done good. Great to see you back though.
I've endured similar house market stress in past couple years so can empathise.
Morecambe and Wise, two Ronnies, Darcy and the Ol' Man. Seems odd when not together.
Have been, and will continue to enjoy watching your content. Great channel, thankyou both. 👍👍
Thanks for the lovely comment, I am pleased to be back 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you for the swift reply.
Look forward to the upcoming vids.
Nice to have you back, glad you got through those difficult times, looking forward to the next lot of videos
Many thanks 😊
I am watching this while sitting in my tent in the Karoo Desert with my KTM 1190 Adv R next to me , my iPhone in one hand and a flask of whiskey in the other. Been riding around Southern Africa and entertaining myself in the evenings with TH-cam biking channels.
Now camped under the southern stars and full moon after 700 Kms of riding today … I did up to 220 kph on some long long isolated tar roads today and a tad slower skimming over rocks, corrugation and sand of the immense desert trails - the KTM is made for this terrain. Does the fast tar and off road enduro stuff and is extremely comfortable on pegs and sitting down - all day.
But different horses for different courses - I know Darcy and ol’ man like the chrome machines and especially dislike adventure bikes.
In U.K. I keep and ride my Royal Enfield which is ideal with Britain with its twisty roads, country lanes, speed cameras, traffic jams, and “rain”.
Different courses - different bikes
Wow you are on a great adventure 👍🏼
Pleased we are entertaining you in the evenings 😊
You'll love the Jawa. Especially the wonderful slick gearbox (yes, honestly) with its two neutrals, and the semi-clutchless gear change arrangement - all will become clear.
Welcome back, Ol' Man, good to see you here again. It sounds like the whole moving situation worked out alright, even if it wasn't what you originally wanted. I think you'll do fine in London. The only trade-off is that you'll need to ride a bit further to get to the good roads. Such is the plight of all big city dwellers. Get back into your training too - it's hard to overstate how much better a person can feel once he gets back onto a training schedule. That depression creeps in before you know it if you get too far off-schedule. Looking forward to the next videos!
Welcome back, “Old Man” . Sorry about all the troubles and roadblocks you encountered with your property sale. Sounds like a nightmare. Hopefully all in the past and look forward to the upcoming videos. Cheers and ride safe, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Thanks Dan 😊
Can't wait for your future videos! Great that you're both back.
PS: weather is the same in Belgium since months. Cloudy and rainy... my bike is dirty.
Thanks 😊
I've always thought rain and cold is a Northern Europe thing not confined to the UK. I've been soaked plenty of times over there on the bike.😊
@splodge5714 I think that even the temperature of the water is the same... That’s why our landscapes are so green.
Welcome back! This week I traded my Hunter 350 for a Moto Guzzi V7 III Special. The Hunter is a sweet bike but the Guzzi is as you said, characterful. I’m about to de-baffle the stock mufflers. That should make it sound like it looks! As for this Honda, it is like the Honda CRV. Adequate and inoffensive with looks that pretend some off road prowess but there is no passion! It’s as exciting as a refrigerator.
Great to see the "auld boy" back 👍! Totally in agreement with your thoughts on modern motorcycle styling, but then I'm coming 70 this July and ride a Triumph Street Scrambler and a 1979 Moto Guzzi Spada, so perhaps an "old fart" point of view...🤔. Looking forward to seeing your look at the Honda CBX1000. Of course it was Benelli who beat them to it in launching an across the frame 6 cyl production 'bike in 1972 with their Benelli 750 "SEI". Great to see your channel doing so well, very much deserved. Keep them coming, cheers
Looking forward to these new format reviews
These guys have the balance perfectly between chat and action
Keep going guys and thanks
Much appreciated!
Welcome back!!! Nice to see you again.
Hey, thanks 👍🏼
Having lived in Spain for ten years in my childhood, even at such a young age I was aware of the nuances and complications of living there. Having to go to Alicante every year to renew our residency, right pain!
As much as I appreciate Darcy's work, I feel more kinship with the Ol' Man, first because we belong to the same age demographic, second because of the love of cameras and photography, and (admittedly to a lesser extent) the weight training. I recently restarted under medical surveillance after years of stopping due to health issues. But above all, because of our similar motorcycle sensitivities. Maybe also because I share a love of motorcycling with one of my kids, who happens to be a former moto/auto journalist and now works for one of the major importers here in Canada. So welcome back, Mr. Darcy's dad. Changing subjects, while the sound of the Honda CBX six really is amazing, the most incredible sound ever produced by a motorcycle has to belong to the Honda 250/6 which you saw at Honda UK's headquarters. For many years the only running example of a 250/6 was right here in Canada. One year, 40(ish) years ago it did a demonstration lap at the F1 Grand Prix. I was there and the sound has remained indelibly imprinted in my memory. Even on the damp track, you could follow every single rise in rpm, every single gear change, at every part of the Gilles Villeneuve circuit even as the rider respectfully kept the revs well away from the 20k rpm redline.
Happy to see the Old Man back-must confess I thought the absence was due to medical issues so I am happy to be wrong, although property purchasing is such a royal pain a heart attack may have been preferable! You are right about older Hondas, I used to love the 4 cyl CB550K from the 70s, such nice balanced looks and a lovely motor. The CBX will be great to see, can't wait for your review. Speaking of 2 strokes, I wish someone would make a new Yamaha RD350 like my old bike. Thanks for the best motorcycle channel around and good luck with the move.
Thank you 😊
Great to see you both back on the channel. Looking forward to the future content 👏👏
Thank you 😊
Congrats for the 100 m subs, well deserved 👏👏👏. Cheers from Portugal.
Thank you 😊
Great to have you both together. This episode made me feel like I was hanging out with you guys. More of that please!
Thanks, great to hear 👍🏼
It is nice to have the entire team together. The two generation makes a good balance on your channel. Waiting forward to see the next videos! 😎💪🤘
Thank you, yes we are both pleased to be back working together 👍🏼
Nice to see you both and good luck with the house move. I've never really had a poor Honda, not perfect but generally well above average. The issue I have is with chain drive...hate it! Give me shaft or belt drive every time. Cheers
Bloody heck what a drama... all that aside great to see you back together. Well, until your in a mental home. rofl. Come on Darcy keep the old man on track! Best wishes from Jim down in Outback Aus.
Yeah, that NX ain't very vintage looking, but as modern bikes go, I don't think it looks bad. At least on the side I can see. Simple, compact, symmetric. It would look infinitely better w/o those blah black wheels. Put some wire spokes on that bad boy and it would liven it right up.
That and a proper purposeful mudguard
Great to see you back. A great channel, even better with the two of you.
Thanks 😊
Glad you are staying in the UK....Makes sense to stay close to your son !....
The Honda looks like the Moto Morini X cape
I really hurt my back recently, and my XSR has become hard for me to ride. I went to a suoerbike factory and they recommended this. I have to admit I didn't like the looks but boy was it comfortable! If my backs still playing up in a month I will probably make the switch. There is no point having a cool looking bike you will never ride when you can have the right bike for you that you could ride daily.
Nice to see you both chatting.
An ixil exhaust will make that engine sound a lot better. Don't know if it would be street legal in the UK though but I had one in Ireland and it really improved the sound of the Honda parallel twin.
Who makes Ixil. What country? I've been seeing them pop up on TH-cam. I'm looking for a slip on forna duke 890r.
@@chriswest2290 They are Catalan, from Barcelona. They have been around since the 50s. I had their dual hyperlow in polished steel. Lovely sound
A Duke 790 slip on is 420 euros. Don't know if you will have customs on that. Google ixil exhausts.
They are Catalan from Barcelona. Been around for about 70 years. A slip on for an 890 is about 420 euros. Don't know if you would have customs. I had a polished stainless hyperlow on my NC. Lovely sound.@@chriswest2290
Looking forward to the Jawa stroker review. I actually own one, a 640. Jawa have a fantastic and interesting history. Good to see the old man back.
Absent centre stands, skimpy front mudguards and weirdly shaped headlamps, I would say we are getting old but my son too (in his late twenties) doesn't think much of the modern looks, nice to see the old team back together.
Such a shame Spain is no longer an option, but I can see why you never ever want to move again. Sounds like you have had a complete nightmare the last 5 months. Home sweet home.
Rutland is a very nice area. I don't live too far away myself. Rutland Water, Melton Mowbray, Stamford, Burleigh House and the Wellend Viaduct are all very pleasant to visit. I do a nice ride taking in Oundle, Harringworth, the viaduct, Uppingham, Melton, back to Stamford, Rutland Water, Wansford, Stilton. Some great riding roads.
I can't see what this Honda NX500 offers that a CB500X doesn't? I would prefer the CB500X.
Welcome back, you have been missed but credit to your son aa the channel content quality and honesty has continued......
The two of you are such a charming duo. My son and I watch you all the time. Keep up the great work! ❤
Thank you, so great to hear 👍🏼
I'm so happy to see the Old Man back! All this time, I thought the Old Man was on a secret mission with MI6. How ridiculous that theory was! But on the other hand, would a person actually say he was on a mission with MI6? Hmm....
I cannot divulge 😎
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I knew it!
Good times ahead , great to have you back
part 1: About Jawa: A Czech company, indeed. Founded in 1929 by Mr. Janeček and still producing motorcycles. Never got broke,
but went through difficult times in the 1990s after a significant drop in production.
Name comes from JAneček (founder) and WAnderer (German company, does not exist anymore).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the video. Like the laid back approach to your content. Yes, that little Honda NX500 is actually a very good bike, albeit lacking a bit of character; typical Honda, but they know their market, customers and modern mass produced trends. Personally, if I were looking for a mid-range adventure bike it would be Guzzi’s V85TT.
The CBX came out when I was in my late teens, lovely looking bike and they used to use one as the Marshalls bike at Brands Hatch. My heart was set on the other 6 cylinder bike at the time, the Z1300 from Kawasaki. That said I ended up buying the RD350LC when that first arrived.
Light and fast, just what a 17 year old needs 🤣 (I wish I still had it).
From one old guy to another…welcome back! You are one of the main reasons my garage has RE’s in them!
Awesome great to hear 👍🏼
Wishing you well.... looking forward to you both doing reviews again😊
Glad to see you back Ol man, looking good, two of you are better than one. Best of luck and much success
Thank you very much 😊
We are pleased to be back together 👍🏼
Very nice to see both of you together again doing bike reviews.
Yes pleased to be back together 👍🏼
My first motorcycle was Jawa 350ts when I was 16 cut exhaust lowered seat put tank from junak 350 hard to believe it was 30years ago… I wish they bring back old polish Junak 350 and SOKÓŁ 1000 back to live heh all best ❤
Hooray welcome back sorry it didn’t work out
Don't be sorry, life is about experiences, nothing worse than regretting what you don't do 😊
Pleased to be back 👍🏼
Glad to hear you guys got things sorted out! Congrats on the new home and hope things are smoother going forward
Thank you 😊
Nice to see you back, Ol'Man! That NX500 is pretty close of what I had during my riding school here in Canada, a CF500F. Lovely bike to ride, even for big dudes like me, but like you said, pretty boring look wise! For a better classic look on the similar platform might be the SCRAMBLER (SCL500)!
Great to see the band back together 🙂 You two bounce off each other very well, great stuff!
Thanks, great to hear 👍🏼
Glad you have found a place. These things happen and are meant to be👍
I wouldn't put the e-clutch down to soon, it's basically a quick shift but you have a clutch lever and can use it as normal if you want so arguably smaller and more versatile than the DCT
Glad your dad is back I’m a big fan of his great sense of humor
Close caption would be nice for old geezers like myself when you guys talk fast your accents are hard for me sometimes
Thanks looking forward to what you come up with next
Thank you, no worries we shall add them 😊
Darcy is a legend. Now that the old man is back I can’t wait to see the R-18 out on the highway. I wouldn’t mind Darcy having a crack review on the R-18 to give his spin on it. 🇦🇺
Brill vid so glad u both working together agan cant wait for cbx video my mate has one stunning bike
Its great to see the 'ol man back, but the five months doing the channel on your own, has brought your presentation skills on leaps and bounds. You're now at least on par with your dad, far mor spontaneous and enthusiastc tjan when you were only doing some of the videos. Looking forward to great things happening on the channel. 👍
