How funny that you say, you feel old at the age of 31 I was hitchhiking all over the United States, sleeping in parks, showering at truckstops, standing in line for food handouts from the Salvation Army. I was strong as a horse my mom died when I was 32 and that happened to be when you were born and that changed the direction of my life I became a nurse got married to a young lady had four kids and now they’re all grown and I’m a 63-year-old man now that’s old and it feels old every guy that watches your channel that’s old like me is gonna tell you you’re not old and believe me when you get to be my age it’ll be very clear and evident that you were actually closer to your 20s than you are your 40s and most of us old guys would give anything to go back to 31 it’s been a lifetime since I was in my 30s. It actually feels like it was another lifetime. Enjoy the video. Good job.

Good job! Also wanted to say how happy I was that the fires stayed away from you. I wish all those who were affected that they will be safe and their lives will be restored along with the beautiful nature soon!

What a good woman !!!! Ya just have to do what your Dad shows you on them push rods. You'll get it.

Ohhhh yeah! Going on a road trip! Time to kick start that little beastie and start getting some wind therapy. Looking forward to seeing where you're taking us this time. 😉

Happy times working in the garage on that gorgeous Shovel! It is a fun a relaxing time for the most part. I do agree with needing more that your own hands. I do cuss just a little when I try to do things without another pair of hands to help. But, sometimes you just gotta make do by yourself. Good ol' Loki. Such a smart bird. Makes me wanna try and befriend the crows that come to my back yard, looking for scraps. I also have complete confidence in your wrenching skills, so it will be smooth sailing on your trip! Plus I'll say a prayer for you to have safe travels. Enjoy those beautiful motorcycles! Great video! Ride and stay safe up in your beautiful B.C.!

It has already become a tradition for me to have breakfast with your new videos. I remember how we often used spark plugs from cars on our old motorcycles, just adding another ring to the spark plug so that the valve wouldn't hit them. But the spark plugs produced during the USSR were valued, they were the most reliable, all that was needed was to wipe with an old rag, clean a little with sandpaper, wait for my mother to leave the kitchen so that I could run into the kitchen and hold the candles over the gas stove and quickly escape from the kitchen. And the fact that the smell was then there for half a day, so it's not my fault 😂

I like you and your bike, and your bird. So there!

When my plugs are that bad my bike won't even start but shite does it do some backfires. My valve guide seals on the evo have perished smokes a bit when you throttle off. My plugs look like that after a couple of tanks of gas. Theres a trick to those shovel guides that let's you run tighter tolerances with out sticking in the guide. Other wise its basically massive clearance and burn oil. Did you know the shovel spark plugs are the same used on old mowers that run the Briggs and Stratton engines lol had to borrow one or two in the past.

@@RedRiderCanadaBC that looks like oil to me didn't know you had twin plug heads. The trick is spiral grove the valve stem run tighter tolerances carbon builds up in the grove and stops it from nipping up the pain of shovels valve guide clearance.
