    I know this video is kind of "old" but it was great to see what Winston and Matt were up to. I especially love the set of hammers on the wall. Never know when you will need a bigger hammer!

    Apart from having a passion for Chinese women (Lily is from Sichuan) I love machinery of all types and I love what you three are doing with a fairly basic workshop. Such a good idea to swap all the bolts and hard wearing bits.

    Really cool Winston, you bikes look awesome. I know from personal experience when you take your personal hobby and make it into a business, you want your customers to enjoy the same experience that you enjoy riding your bikes. I can tell that you build your bikes just as you would have built them for yourself because you enjoy this hobby and want others to enjoy it as well. This means that you don't want to profit but instead bring the highest of quality to your customer just as you, yourself would like the highest of quality for your own bike. If you keep up with the good work, and take care of your customers as well as bring them the highest of quality and assurance, i guarantee you that your business will skyrocket, but hey you don't need my advice, your doing just awesome, and i hope you stay awesome. Keep up with your vids, i love them very much. I wish i had a friend like you. Stay Awesome Winston, I don't think you realize how much of a cool guy you really are. You are a very unique character and have a wonderful personality. I wish you the best of the best and hope that only good luck and fortune come your way. May God bless you =)

    Love the bike stuff. Love your shop. Brings back many memories of the late 60s and early 70s when some of my friends and I would also buy damaged or abandoned bikes and rebuild, chop or customized them. From time to time I would like to make suggestions if you are open and looking for some. Let me know.

    As a mechanics daughter brought up on the back of a 1100cc Honda super blackbird this made me rather happy! My boyfriend won't let me buy my own bike as he knows I will only play with it and he thinks I will get myself hurt.. little does he he know i am set to inherit my dad's Super black bird when he's too old to get on it anymore... he bought it the same year was born and wanted it to be handed down as in the all the years he has owned it he's only put around 1000 miles on it and its only had its tires changed once.. personally i think the poor girl needs to get out the garage and explore and the moment i get my hands on it i will do just that... Maybe one day i will be able to add one of these to my collection!

    MORE BIKE STUFF!!! Motorcycles are where it's at. The only way to see the country. The trick is to make yourself visible at all times. Safety first. At stop lights always position yourself off to one side of the car in front of you and watch your rear at all times when standing still in case some doesn't stop in time, you can blast yourself out before impact. Remember, always leave yourself an out. I know people who died at stop lights. A tip to the nubies. Have fun on two wheels. Peace out.

  • @grassulo
    @grassulo 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Your shop is awesome! I can't wait to see what else you guys build, if I was in China I'd want to come help out. I started working as a car mechanic but I've been working at a local cycle shop here in USA that repairs and sells Chinese made bikes. We actually now also carry JMStar (Galaxy) bikes like the one you rode, they are great, and we sell a lot of them.
    On a side note, what is that little yellow bike? I like it a lot, I want one! I wonder if it's possible to get road legal ones of it in USA. Absolutely love the body styling and wheels on it it, with the nice round headlight.

  • @noyoureahooker
    @noyoureahooker 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just watching this now, and I have some questions about the fasteners. On the "red bike" you refer to all the fasteners and various other yellow zinc plated parts as being cheap crap iron or something along those lines. What grade of fasteners are they, and what grade did you replace them with? I ask because here in Canada the general standard is for Grade 8 and Grade L9 fasteners to most often be yellow zinc plated, while grades 2 and 5 tend to be zinc plated (as the more traditional "chrome" looking fasteners appear to be). The greater the number, the higher the tensile and sheer strength standards will be for said fastener, and the head of all bolts will be stamped with the grade.

    @taistingtheair1368 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the idea of your bikes being LOW CC as apposed to Bikes here in America being Very large like Harleys 1200 CC. Even off road bikes being 250, 350 - 400 CC. I personally like at least a 350 to 700 CC because I am a big guy. I have not owned a motor cycle in many years but your video has inspired me to think about maybe getting a 250 or 350 CC again.

I sold my little Honda 650 a few months ago now I ride a Honda black Black bird 1137cc here in the US a 650 cc is considered quite small but I've seen from your vids that these larger bikes are not present in China. ?? Have you ever rode a Harley? Haha huge heavy noisy contraptions! About 75% of what I see here people either love them or hate them. I'm a Honda man myself. I like your custom bikes and love your vids thank you very much!
