A guy I know bought a GT 185 Suzuki when it was 40 years old and promptly rode it to Portugal from London. Despite my plea's he wouldn't check it over before he left. Annoyingly it just cruised it, respect.

Subscribed! I'm loving this series, you guys are something else!

Lol Gabes gonna smoke you boys

These adventures are spot on. Thanks for all the laughs... 💪🤪

I am much more inclined to watch this series because Gabe was brought on board. That dude makes everything relatable since I own 5 old shitty bikes instead of 1 new pristine bike.

That XL600R is the best in show IMO. Hilarious that the stud on the head broke... such a common issue with those bikes! I had an engineer shop in Kenya drill it out and put in a heli-coil but guess what... they didn't cover the holes and the shreds and mess all fell into the engine. Got to open the whole engine as a result! Thanks fellas!

This is awesome. I think i have to do the canadian version of it this fall....

I know this was months ago but for tank cleaning using the apple cider vinegar or even just water (I like using the vinegar method) .. chuck some stones or bolts in there and give it a good shake every now and then or strap it to something that rotates slowly 👌 gets all the stubborn bits out

I have always wondered how well it would work to just put some massively long springs on those bikes. Like get some from a contemporary mx bike that are just like 3 inches longer and smack them on. I have thought a bit about the influences geometry wise and with the chain offset and shit, it shouldn't be too bad.

Looks like I'm buying 2 gallons of applecider vinegar for my 1974 MT125 project lol

A good way to knock a lot of the rust free inside of a tank is to drop a length of chain in and shake it around.

2:50 instead of filling whole tank with apple cider vinegar, i would just fill quarter of it and keep rorating to cover all surface inside fuel tank. also after having the rust cleaned, i would do zinc plating from inside to somewhat repair the damage caused by rusting. tried and tested in many 20 30 years old motorcycle tanks.

Man, that piston at 3:04 is pristine for it's age! They must have been running just the right amount of no oil for it to last so well. Those pesky piston return springs are always a problem though. Can you go with stronger springs for more compression? Or is it softer springs for more compression? I can never remember which way to go with those. 2-strokes are even more tricky, because they hide the piston return springs... (sometimes they aren't even in the workshop manual!!)

The spring you go with will determine how much power the bike makes. It's kind of a "dark art" and I don't want to give out my secrets. If the spring is missing on the two strokes, then you definitely don't want to run the motor! 😂😂😂 -Charles

Perfect options and features for a work/play truck. It should be a factoru option, but 50k is ridiculous.

Found this as I was thinking of the idea of modifying my old -84 Suzuki GSX 400E, with a protective plate for the engine, offroad tires, different gears/cogs to make it have more torque sooner (it gets most "power" after 6000 RPM), probably a stiffer suspension and some more protection for when it falls. Ideas on the subject? Open for ideas/advice, :)
