Blue rusted tank was the best ever i saw in my life.
After watching a few of his videos, I think he’s the type of guy that would rather endure the pain while traveling and rebuild his bike (if wrecked) again if it meant changing the look of his bike. I’m older, so I can relate with you. Give me comfort and high visibility…everything. I’ll do anything if it means riding longer. 👍👍
MAN the twists & turns in this journey - the ups & downs... LIFE!
Love the style of these edits! Great story telling.
Amazing man. Completely impressed by you. There's a constant theme in these videos, you hit a roadblock whether work, bike, material, service etc and you find a way to overcome it which is usually you learning a new skill and doing it yourself. Impressive Eddie. I'd bet if you gave yourself a self imposed goal of making 10 million pounds in one year, you'd 100% see it through.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. The thinking behind doing it myself was also to save as much money as possible and learn my way around the bike I’d need to know how to fix on the road…
Nice video. It is rarely appreciated at the the time, but adversity builds character. A motorcycle crash is similar to relationships…they are messy, they hurt, and hopefully you learn from your mistakes. You’re a talented young man, keep it up!
Awesome content, awesome build, awesome style! Lets go man 🤘
Your cannel popped up in my feed a few days ago and I have watch all your videos. It was a long time since I saw somthing that was this genuine and with such a simple and great way of telling a story. I really like your videos! :) keep them coming!

Not sure I'm very good at telling the story, but if you've been able to follow along and it made sense I'll take your word for it. Thanks
Really happy that you found the motivation to keep the project running. Also, thanks for sharing the project and the setbacks. It makes me want to work on my bike

You should, it’s very rewarding.
You need motor crash bars, auxiliary lights, extra petrol cans, mushrooms on both wheels, front screen. This things will make it trips more enjoyable, hours and hours of riding with the wind on your chest are not enjoyable. Protect your bike for any drop. You may take longer to get to your destination, use extra light devices. Keep going.

In another video I’ll show how I installed more crash protection.
Hi Eddie, I'm loving these videos they are very truthful and relatable, I have done the same in the past worked on my bike then fucked it up and felt shit about it but it thought me so much about how to double check things. I'm gutted for you that your gorgeous bike got damaged it looked so clean to and the fact that you tackled all that in your spare room is sick. I know people with full garages with welders and bike hoists and lifts and they still wouldn't have taken on half of what you accomplished so fair play lad 👍 keep going and keep her rubber side down

Appreciate it, yeah was gutting to deal with damage only days after having it finished. But like you say, you learn from your own mistakes.
Don't bother with the power commander, Triumph Twin Power do maps you can upload yourself and the bike runs perfect. Not need for an external unit. Just upload and go.

@@christophersherrington5412 yep I learned this the hard way, watch the next part of the series. Even though all the bloody tuners force you to get one (I’m sure it’s a bullshit business partnership they do with these mechanics).
Though you said it was going to be a long video it wasn't at all. I want my money back! Keep these coming plz
