The turbobusa in the background watching you start another bike

I love that a 1980 Suzuki could have sat behind a barn since the "early seventies" 😂
-
Its a vintage Japanese twin. Of course the biggest hurdles to overcome were not having a key and rust in the tank. These things are going to continue rolling on so long as we're producing gas to make them go. Wonderful machines.
-
I think the standard "carb cleaning" is my favourite part. It's 90% the solution to all the problems.
-
It's a 1980 GS450....that's been sitting since the early 70's. "soak" is my favourite four-letter word. Solves a lot of cleaning issues.

I will never get tired of these types of videos by you guys!

Those ammunition box bags are awesome.

Soak the chain in evaporust, stick it in an oven at 400 for 15 minutes, then drop it in some fresh oil (while it's still hot) and let it soak overnight. Boom. Works like new (provided it's not an O ring chain, obviously)

Video idea: Switch places. Find a relatively easy bike to get running, and Craig film Dan going through the process with minimal help. See what Dan has learned. Could be fun
-
Another saved ride for someone to enjoy , nice job men.
-
Dan is learning a lot ... soon he will be able to do the initial diagnoses
-
Please get that bike all cleaned up and running good. It's so beautiful

My dad has always had motorcycles, very fast bikes, but he wouldn't let me ride them cause he was afraid of an accident, so I just sticked to cars. Watching you guys wrench and revive bikes has grown a little on me, I would love to do that, maybe start with a 200 or 400 cc bike, I have drivers license for them

I graduated from SLH (Michigan) in 1980. I've liked this motorcycle since it was brand new. Craig, you do great work. Thanks so much for sharing. J 🤠

I have risen for this
-
My favorite part of your videos is watching you do the carb clean/repair/rebuilds. It's a lost art these days, and watching you get them sorted out is like ASMR for me.
-
You should call the bike Escocarb for its smuggling ability
-
These barn find videos are by for the best on the channel

I've recently fought a couple of old bikes - an 82 CB650 and a 78 CX500. Watching you work has kept me positive as I restore them, and taught me a lot about things. Some I knew I'd have to address, some I wouldn't have thought of. I just wanted to say thanks for the content you create, and fod your positive attitude about working on these old machines. Really give me confidence that I can do it!
