Good seeing James looking healthy, such a legend.
I love the way Jim plays down what he’s achieved in racing, legend 👊👊
Going through cancer and DOMINATED 1996 BSB, like Doohan 92 500cc season it should have been his.
@@zacharyradford5552 was good to watch in world supersport as well.
You smiling, Jim smiling, me smiling, everybody smiling!
Whitham is like a dog with 2 tails when he's around a 2 stroke race bike
Or as my Grandad used to say, “As happy as a dog with two dicks and ten p*****g posts”
The better phrase is 'like a dog with 2 dicks'!
The man the myth the legend whitham. Could listen to him all day. What a man
I’m 62 years young now and as a 13 year old I attended my first ever motorbike race at Oulton Park to watch my hero Barry Sheene, the year is 1975. As I got out of the car I could smell the two-stroke smoke in the air and it was fantastic. So much so I said “fucking hell” and that’s the first time I dad heard me swear too 😂😂😂😂 Love the video guys and cannot wait see it finished.
60 year old here and saw Bazza at Oulton Park at about 13 and it changed my life, still riding an XJR1300 in South Australia now
How many racers today actually know their way around the bike. Sit on ride. Look at telemetry. The enthusiasm for what you do has no doubt helped both of you to success. Whitham and his two strokes, priceless. This was a wonderful era of racing. But then I love racing. Went to my first race early sixties. Still going.
All sidecar lads know bikes inside out. And the Irish national road racing scean the lads are the same. But yes I agree what your saying it's a dieing breed.
You 2 are as great as each other, make sure you keep us updated. Fantastic!!!
Jamie Whitham is the reason i got into bikes. He never disapoints !
I could genuinely listen to Whitham all day long. Does he need a tea boy?
What a legend of a guy! Can't wait to see a video of the finished bike!
Loving this rebuild series. How excited you both are, is infectious. Good to see you both looking healthy and happy.
Whitman’s like good old Fred Dibnah but for bikes not steam trains 😂 class vid 👍
JW you are a star, such knowledge and enthusiasm a joy to watch and listen.
Two Strokes never get old ! they just get more expensive 😂 love it so much 👍🏻
Always a pleasure to see whit. Love the excitement and enthusiasm.
Your enthusiasm is infectious, good luck with everything this year, 👍
Great work Mr Whitham and a lovely RD in the corner.
Lc mate 👍
Whit needs his own TH-cam restoring bikes .
the enthusiasm is infectious, just brilliant and what a guy James is, good to see you getting about Lee even though it looked a little uncomfortable at times
10:19: i'd love that LC - those paired curved spoke wheels made em look like they were doing thirty when they were parked
We need more of James! That bike is beautiful, love the old two strokes!
What a fantastic project to be involved with. It's just dawned on me that there's probably people watching this who've never seen a 500 race, or seen James race. They were proper race bikes. Ah those were the days👍
96 BSB was his he DOMINATED.
Loved this video. Can’t wait to see the bike finished 👌👏 Whitham is so excited it’s great to see!
James and two strokes, haven't clicked on a video so fast (great to see you both well!)
Allen Millyard is your man for manufacturing parts, give him a shout.
Whitty should be your race team phycologist… he makes you smile… he makes everyone smile.
You have such a great group of friends Lee, always enjoy seeing Jamie, he is a good dude
I can't wait to see the finished bike and hear it being put through its paces. Great to see you in such high spirits and Whit is just a big kid around race bikes (aren't we all). I have just finished my own two stroke restoration down here in Queensland, Australia (one of them RD350LC's) and I was just as excited when it cracked into life for the first time. No doubt you will capture any track action with your bike. We're all "peaking" (I think is the term you use) to see it.
There is no sound like a proper two stroke race bike great to see you boys so excited getting the bike done Whit is a legend proper excited about a stud😂
Love to see Tames and Lee they are great together 🍻🍻🇬🇧👍
Fair play to James, the bike is looking great, can`t wait for the next video.
We need a tour of Whitman’s place looks like every bike fans dream
My absolute two favourite racers on the planet 🏍️💨💨👍
Love this ! I remember they used to race 750cc two strokes, any chance you guys could resurrect one of those? Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki seemed to be the main protagonists, 'cos Honda Didn't do two strokes ( until they realised that they couldn't win unless they did ). Now that we know more about how 2T's work, you'd be able to make them easier to ride. The power band was ridiculously narrow, I'm lead to believe. "Good luck Jim..." ( mission impossible music plays...).
Two blokes excited about an awesome 2 stroke, I wish it was mine.
My fave YT moment 2024 so far!!! Thanks guys you both look well good times
Great vlog Lee you 2 are a great double act ! And definitely know your bikes
Lee hope your recovery is going well !!
She looks good . Mr Whitham is different class
Love your channel Lee, very enjoyable video… Jims passion is infectious. Keep up the good work mate. Enjoy all the way from Australia. 🤙
What a blast from the not so past.Cant wait to hear it.Could you bottle the smell and send it to me at my cost.
I remember the Fast Orange days! Miss those 500s though. Awesome machines.
New bikes are great with all the technology they have but you can’t beat old school 2 strokes the looks and sound totally understand why you guys get so giddy. 👍
Imo new bikes aren't great with all the tech(wait until they put geo fencing on them like modern cars, guess what's coming). All the rider is doing is losing skills. Agree will never beat a two stroke for smiles per mile. Just reluctantly bought a 08 CBR600RR because replacing the RGV250P would of cost at least 2x as much. Imo the RGV250P was the best bike I have rode/owned , the Rd's LC's LC2, 500, KR1/S, RG250gamma, 500 was close but handling wasn't great. Dream bike to have sat in the garage would be a Suter 500, only 100,000 euros.
Superb...James is a font of knowledge...great looking machine love the blue
Nice 1 Lee, Great to see you up and about again, That bike is going to be so dam good man!! cant wait to see the finished article and hear it! awesome content as always .
Great that, you two. Cheers👍👍
Brought back so many memories Lee. That bike is beaut.
Let's not forget
The man
The myth
The legend
The one and only Mr super spanners
NEIL
You could get those hard plumbing pipes scanned and 3D printed.
That’s what I love about you two. You love what you do. The bike is looking mint. Can’t wait to see it finished. Would love to see James and your self have a spin on it . That would be the icing on the cake. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
2 Stroke Heaven ,keep on racing all 2 strokers🏁.
Guessed Yam France as soon as the colour came in through bubble wrap. Best 2 colours in bsb boost and Fast orange. Saw Jim's bike in speed motorcycles in Hull. .

Thanks for recording and uploading this. You're living my dream life! James Whitham really is IRL what you'd expect. I've read his book, it's a good read. You can feel the passion and dedication he has for the bikes through the screen. Top lads! 💯💪👍

Fucking hell! Whitam is like a chinchilla on speed, he's all over the shop 🤣🤣👍🏍️💭
Mega video! Top work fella!
Excellent stuff!!
Wow great work guys.
Loving these vlogs 👌👌
Although James raced the Harris SLS YZR500 at Macau 1992, 1992 French 500GP 9th and top privateer and the 1992 Donington 500GP DNF (clutch went). He did start practice for the 1995 Donington 500GP on a ROC 500 but had to pull out of the meeting before race day due to illness.
What a bike can’t wait till the. Next Witt is so clever.
Lee how are you getting on with your recovery??
Love your vids buddy. Cheered me right up. As in hospital after a heart attack. 🙏🏼 You two are like two kids on Christmas morning. That bike is going to look amazing. You got to take it on track to test it lol 👍🏼you and whit are brilliant.
