Can't believe how good of a teacher Craig is. Never laughs at her for not knowing something that a mechanic would consider basic. Never gets frustrated or impatient with her while she works her way through things. Never gets mad at her for making a mistake. These are all exceptionally rare qualities in mechanical instructors!

His patience is outstanding and the education of this video is priceless.

The more I see, the more I like Craig. Everyone needs to have a friend like him and be a friend like him

The key “open hand” knuckle buster prevention tip has my approval.

Craig is such a dad,it was like watching a father daughter bonding.nice video.

I’ve seen a lot of KZread collaborations, I think this is by far my favorite. I’ve watched all of Craig’s videos as well as Doodle’s videos and she never ceases to learn everything motorcycle related and who better to teach her motorcycle maintenance than Craig. Awesome collab. Hope to see more of this😊

Actually, I don't think the blown gasket was too much nitrous, but, too much Sean. .. 🤣.

Doodle, On the righty tightly, lefty loosy goes, think of the face of a clock while looking down on the head of the bolt. On the clock face start at the 12:00, moving toward the 1:00 is right, toward 11:00 is left. Doing your own maintainence is very satisfying, your sense of accomplishment greatly increases your confidence in your abilities. Just as you have done learning not just to ride but took lessons from people that can help you improve your riding.

Point the thumb on your right hand in the direction you want the screw or bolt to go, your fingers will be curled in the direction you should turn. Only works on right-handed threads. Left-hand threads would be the exact opposite.

Craig is a great teacher and really patient. Doodle seems really nervous about riding a bike she’s seen taken apart. Remember, all bikes started off apart.

I am 2 minutes into this video. I am convinced she knows more about repairing a bike than Sean. Keep up the good work!

LOL, Harley 007 mechanic "0 motivation, 0 skills 7 smoke breaks" , great to see collaboration with Doodle.

Wow...Craig, Doodle, Sean and Dan in the same video... So cool! KZread mashup is a great idea. Love to see more mashups. Good job Doodle learning how to turn some wrenches... Great investment that will pay off forever with motorcycles, cars, houses, etc. Definitely you should carry at least a few tools on your bike if you're doing long trips. I've had battery cables become loose while in a long trip with my wife that prevented the bike from starting; stranding us at a gas station. Using a Leatherman Wave multi tool I got the seat off, tightened the loose battery cable bolts and we were on our way. God bless. Hope you have a good and safe trip on that Harley and your police training goes well.

It’s so good to see him passing his knowledge on. It always makes me happy when I find a younger person interested in wrenching and I’m always MORE than happy to teach them what I know and have learned in the last 30+ years of wrenching. Too many younger kids are just lazy and have no interest in being self reliant. They’d rather just pay somebody to work on their vehicles. It’s truly sad that there’s a HUGE chunk of the younger population that can’t even check their oil or change a tire. Or hell even drive a manual transmission.

The whole world drives both manual and auto, America is the only country in the world where so many people can't drive.. Its shocking and ill never understand why it is so hard for them to learn.. My dad was driveing manual at 8yrs old, i was around 10yrs when he tossed me behind the steeringwheel and within 10-15min i was driveing without stalling at every start/stop. Its not rocket science to drive. I live in Denmark, so my english is not perfect.

" Oh sorry, too busy working my full time job, while working a part time job and being in the reserve military because my Gen X parents spent their 20s smoking weed and drinking instead of investing in their future to ensure I wouldn't grow up in poverty with an uphill battle to move up. I would love to wrench more, but no time and no garage makes it difficult for more involved tasks. The most I can get away with in an apartment complex carport is changing the oil on my motorcycle, anything more extensive I risk having a boomer ratting me out to the office again. I prefer to have a local shop work on my car to ensure it works since I NEED it to work, my motorcycle I handle what I can because if it doesn't work for some reason, I can make it to work still.

2 of the NICEST MOTORCYCLE KZread'ER'S that have ever graced the Internet!! God bless y'all Doodle and Craig🙏😁🤠

She’s a joy! Noodle,I hope you got back ok. Good job!

This is an awesome example of craigs teaching and mechanic abilities. Doodle is an awesome bike girl, there are definitely some out there that do it for clout but shes awesome trying out new things. Craig is probably one of my favorite bike people ever.

One just can’t help but love a girl who is determined and driven to get it done! There is no charm in it when a guy has that but it’s a marvelous thing when a girl does it! 😅 Good job, “Doodle”!

When he said we will figure it out her face was priceless.🤣

8:45 I do not know why, but when Craig grabs the wrench I think of Crocodile Dundee. “that’s not a knife, (pulls out a BIG @$$ knife) THAT’S A KNIFE."

Fair play to her for actually getting involved. I’ve seen this before where the Craig of the scenario loses patience and takes over or the student gets bored/overwhelmed and gives up. I don’t mind if anyone isn’t capable of doing anything as long as they give it a good try at least once.

2 content makers from 2 channels (of which I'm subscribed to both), whom I never thought would do a collab, fixing a bike that Sean broke.. Doodle and Craig, I love you guys.. both of you.. Doodle, when I learned about fixing engines it change the way i drive and ride completely.. it's not just about turning the throttle.. it's what happens inside the engine when you twist the throttle that actually matters.. much respect to you my sister.. it's not anyone who would try to learn this kind of thing.. it costs guts.. and Craig, my brother, the way you teased Doodle, i wish i had a teacher with such a sense of humor.. then I would probably have learned better.. you are a great guy for doing that for her.. cos understanding engines makes you actually drive and ride with more caution. Much respect you brother.. Great episode guys.. I love it.. thanks..

If you've ever had a mentor as good as this, you'll remember it for life.

Wait a minute, this is the best video on KZread, what a collaboration of to great people, who’s idea was this, so genius

You got this Craig keep up The hustle

Always good to hear Sean narrate Craig's videos. Like the good Ole days

Doodle! That "lefty-loosey/righty-tighty" thing. Just imagine you're taking the lid off of a peanut butter jar, and you can't go wrong. (Until you run onto something called a "left-hand thread", which are just the opposite. And, yes, there IS such a thing.)

Good to see the KZread motorcycle community ,all the stars in one video.

What a fun video to watch. In addition to being a top notch mechenic, Craig is an excellent teacher who doesn't take himself too seriously and really seemed to make Doodle comfortable. And hats off to Doodle for not being intimidated outside of her comfort zone and really digging in and seeing the job through. I'm sure she has much more confidence to attempt other mechanical jobs now.

Sean is a great voice over man. He should make some audio books.

I always knew Craig would be an amazing teacher. Very patient, very chill. I learn best when I can relax and focus instead of someone annoyed raising hell and being condescending.

Doodle and Craig!! The best surprise of 2023!

I'm a certified mechanic on this generation of motors from Harley Davidson at my local community college sponsored by Harley Davidson themselves. I was only 20 getting separated from the Navy due to my ADHD and my father was scared for me becoming stuck in life due to my challenge part of life. The way you taught her was the same way my teacher taught us as well! So two thumbs up for that, and yes this Harley mechanic had a good laugh at the moment you mentioned it. The first motor I tore apart was the vrod motor and saw the Porsche stamps everywhere, it was definitely awesome. Just befiddled me why there are always so many special tools compared to cars. Good job on this video!

Love the way Craig is teaching. He tells her how to do it instead of having her watch him. Good job my friend, good job.

I remember when I stroked my 302ci to 331ci engine years ago, and made my 10 year old daughter reassemble and torque everything down to understand the process, and she was really into it, and grasped it pretty well. Love seeing young women learn mechanics and gain knowledge of how things work

100% respect, Doodle. Outstanding! Graig, great mentor!

I truly enjoyed this video. Good job, Doodle and Craig! I remember starting to wrench Harleys at a dealership in 1989, and I felt like I was workin' on giant jewelry. I knew how prized they were by their owners, and I tried hard not to even make a scratch. Doodle is a terrific student, and Craig's a patient, well-informed teacher. All the laughs were just a sweet bonus. Thanks! Morgan.

Yay! A collab with Doodle; another motorcycle content creator I love! This is awesome!

I'm a fan and subscriber to both channels. It was great to see you two working together. I like how you both are up for tackling anything. Great content!

Thanks for this! Thanks for blowing up yer bike, Sean. Thanks Doodle for wanting to ride the bike - and willing to fix it. And thanks Craig for inspiring me to go fix my dad's Road King.

We knew from his commentary on the other videos that Craig is a great teacher, this video further proves it

Love watching Craig’s videos as soon as they come out

I love that she really give her best to learn. love the collab.

I like the channel personality crossover. Kinda like a guest visit, but more in this instance. Doodle might not remember everything she accomplished, but this experience will help her gain mechanics confidence and increase her motorcycle mechanical skills. Kudos to Doodles. Cool episode.🎉

The German torque measurement 😂😂😂 …Gudntight. I burst out laughing hahahahaa

I really enjoyed this collaboration of you two. Craig is a fabulous teacher and Doodle was an excited and energetic student wanting to learn.

I'll admit I'm not subscribed to Doodle's channel. I have watched some of her videos and she is not afraid to try and learn new things. I've never seen her try and pretend like she knows something she doesn't. (Unless she's joking around). In everything I've seen she is a genuine person and I have no doubt she is a wonderful person to know. Craig of course, as we all know, is a big gentle teddy bear of a man. No doubt one of the nicest guys on KZread. Quite enjoyable to watch these two people interact.

"keep this up and I'm gonna make her a sandwich" had me dying. The best pat is he didn't even realize 😆

Houston, we have a doodle with a wrench!!!😊

What a nice young lady, and she uses her head for more than a place for a helmet. Everyone in her life has reasons to be proud of her. She did good on breaking the head bolts considering she looks like she weighs 90 pounds. Good job teaching and learning. What she learned can be used on anything with wheels.

i really loved that sean did the narrating in this channel it feels like i still watch Bikes and Beards main channel. edit : working on a bike you build/fix is always an awesome feeling. it feels like, yeah i did this bike... i made it run again.

8:40 Doodle using her Noodle…love it!

Craig is a great teacher. It was awesome to see doodle excited about getting it fixed. 👍👍👍

Cool to seek Doodle here, wrenching and learning how it all ticks. Although she would benefit knowing about leverage / mechanical advantage :) and better to learn with manual tools like T wrenches than power drivers which can cock things up real quick

"Thats the mannest tool i have ever seen" Was she referring to the big wrench or Craig ? This was such a fun episode 👍

This one is for Doodle. I know you are so proud of yourself. I could see it when the bike started for the first time. I am so glad to see women get into mechanics. I know you learned a great deal getting hands on experience with one of the great bike mechanics. Safe travels girl.

I loved this video. You both make me smile and warm my heart. Thank you for sharing.

I'm not done with the video yet, but I gotta say that I haven't seen one mention of how this woman is a better rider than most of us. She's done so much practice and had so many classes... She's a better rider than me, that's for sure.

I love this channel, this is my favorite video so far…

She's a great dancer; Craig, keep your day job...

The Guddentite joke tho. LOL. Such a "dad"

She is so cute and tiny and innocent and ready to learn and this is why I love this man because he's so patient and kind and she's so willing to learn and it makes my day to see her be able to gain some knowledge it's so impressive most young ladies would not want to rebuild their own bikes so this is pretty cool and it helps that she has a pretty smile❤

I'm pretty much a newcomer to your channel, a couple of months now. I didn't watch the videos in order, but I've almost made it through all of them now. I like them all, but I'm thinking this one's my favorite, it's a good one alright.

She is cute and funny. Glad she got to learn some new things. 👍🏻

I love it that Craig uses a cardboard template for where the bolts ahould be at. Used to do that as well 😅

What a sweetheart. And now she can turn wrenches. I hope she does great with everything. Good job teaching teacher...

What a great video. I love doodle and will have a go at fixing bikes, but your patient teaching sure made a difference for her confidence and ability. Much respect. LJ

It makes me happy 🙂 to see young people who enjoy motorcycling. Especially seeing women enjoying the sport, which in turn helps keep the sport going.

Sweet video. Caroline/Doodle is one of the nicest personalities out in the bike world. She makes millions smile and feel good about motorcycles.

Great video, love Doodle’s channel also. Police training is a great goal. Ryan F9 also did the police motorcycle training course a while back in Canada. (There’s a video on FortNine about it.) It’s a gruelling 11 day long course, training alongside police moto officers. (They have some spots each year reserved for civilians.) Keep up the great content!
