I’m a college graduate who’s disillusioned with the corporate world and has always been obsessed with motorcycles from afar. How can I get into working on and riding vintage motorcycles? I’ve had a license and have been riding casually since I was 18, but that’s a far cry from knowing the right guys and getting the experiences!

Fantastic. The age of a motorcycle is just a number, just as it is in life…..plenty of life in this one!

Literally my dream bike; currently searching up and down the UK to find a pre-unit TR6 donor to start my own build and seeing this is inspiring. You've done such a lovely job on this build, dude - right on!

That bike sounds really nice. Make sure to get some video of that Biltwell event. I loved your wife's reaction after you covered the camera (and maybe her) with dirt.

Good job. I have the same pipes from Ace Classics, I believe Rayson is making those. I have a 71' OIF I am building into a "woods sled", not many pre or units in The South so I had to make-do. I have the same bar style, Webco reproductions. You have that honest patina and it sounds great! Keep the content coming!

Beautiful bike(s)! I’ve got a pair of the “Bud Ekins” pipes from JRC for my T-120C, but they both head out the left side. I had a set that looked like yours on my Cyclone years ago, but have no idea who made them. That bike actually came from Bud’s shop, but I’m not sure if the pipes did. Does a “Bud Ekins” pipe sort of generically refer to anything straight and upswept? Regardless, they look and sound excellent! I’m subscribing to your channel in hopes that you further inspire me to finish my own Desert Sled. It’s time…😊

Nice scooter. What oil res do I need to set on a Bates seat? I have a ‘67 650 that could easily go sled. Also looking for a template to make a Bast skid plate.

You will need to modify and weld on a new filler neck so you can access it with the hard-mounted seat👍
