Motorcylce restoration - a worthwhile watch

[madbean]

One of the most engrossing youTube videos I've seen in quite a while. The process, editing, all spot on. His varying use of simple chemistry is quite amazing.

Mesmerizing and the standard of many youtube videos has gone up so much over the years. What a smooth pro video production.

Amazing! I screeched out loud when he started collecting rain water.

***Spoiler alert*** A side car, too?!?!

I like those videos, where there is no other sound than the tools. So relaxing.
Saw several of those, mostly about fixing small stuff, such as lighters and Swiss army knives.
This one is totally worth it.

Honestly, I don't know what possessed me to watch this but very glad I did.  True craftsmanship.

These are called ASMR videos. Many people watch them for the relaxing sounds rather than the actual content.

Such a great video and superb restoration. I like the teaser for his next restoration at the end.

It reminds me of a time where my dad and I were trying to get a little motorcycle up and running back in the mid-90s. We couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the carburetor. Troubleshooting issues, the fact that we were moving soon, and my mom not really keen on us having a motorcycle are the reasons why we ended up letting that dream go.

Great on so many levels, worth watching just for the film making skills, good lesson on prepping, painting and cleacoating...

Cool video  

Does anyone know what is going on with the car battery and the cut up AA?  I'd guess nickel electroplating or is that a Lithium battery?

Start watching the video... huh, I'd like to learn to ride a motorcycle, maybe get an old one that doesn't have more processing power than my last video card...

Partway through... yeah nah, I think I'll stick to my car and paying someone else to sort it out.

I've been enjoying Odd Tinkering's videos -- he does lighters, and also a lot of old games consoles.
