There's only one iron ;) I never got any further than that on my bike. Have you seen this wonderful film that a friend of mine sent me out to buy about an Irish lottery ticket ? I can't remember the name, as we take all our DVD's out oo, of their boxes, so it probably won't have a name on the VCD. I just have this wonderful image of Speedy Gonzales ( as my bro used to call my mum on her bike ;) .. There are some lovely biker films about self discovery and all pulling together.
Peter: Those sounds of the 2 cycles sure bring back memories. I had an old 250cc Zuendap when I was 14 and drove it illegally with my cap over the license plate. The darned thing liked to catch on fire. Peter, you should get on it anyway, just for the heck of it. Go on.
I rebuilt moped engines. I bought a few that were on not running and simply went in and cleaned the whole engine piece by piece. the gaskets on those small engines last forever, so need need to open up further. All but one were electric start. I was in an environmental activists mood, searching for one-person, cheap transport. That was a few years ago and people laughed at me driving them around. Now people are riding them all over the place in the U.S.
Thanks for the update! It must be so nice to have a shared interest with your grandson. :) My grandmother and I both enjoy cooking, but unfortunately she has succumbed to dementia, so we can't have these kinds of talks or shared experiences. You and your grandson are very lucky to have this time together.
Grandchildren are wonderful aren't they? Keep telling them the stories of your youth. I hope they save your videos on discs. Take care, and thanks for the nice vids.
wow u r a genius love your videos and keep it up. loved the ending by the way hahahaha my younger brother just got a CR-80 2 stroke and man that thing is quick.
The question "And did it start?" was exactly what I was thinking about while you were describing what had be done to remodel the bike.
I can't imagine that an engine would ever start again after it had the unlucky experience of being de-assembled and re-assembled by yours truly. I guess its days as an engine per se would be over after that, and you would want to simply call it a "COM" - a "Chunk Of Metal" :-)!
Great job your grandson did on the bike, respect and congratulations on that!
I think I would need leg extensions to sit on that!
I used to love riding my motorbike but I hated it when I got cramp in my legs, I must have been doing it wrong, I think I'm retired from ever riding again, R.I.P. biker days.
I've never been fascinated by motorbikes, to be honest. But it's always cosy and nice to see and listen to your videos, so... Yes, I like the button in the end.
Did you teach a lot of the mechanical stuff to the younger blokes in your family or was the passion for bikes just passed on and they picked up themselves? You obviously know what your talking about :)
doesn't look like that apple fell far from the tree... congratz to scott on that lovely sounding motor bike and always nice to see you again grand dad.
Very nice build! It didn't look like much when he started on it!

Aaaah Peter!!! I love bikes, but can't ride them myself, so it has to be with a friend... just 10% of my sight and bad balance :)
And that button!!! The first time I saw one of those, I got curious and felt it and then pressed it... that darn thing is so loud I jumped! hehe!

No you lost it. It doesn't read right. The mistake you made is that the third line is about 7 sylables too long.
You could have gotten away with:
This video is boring.
or
Peter is boring.
However both would be wrong, Peter rocks.
Pouring with a "u" and no capital on raining, as it's not a name or place...other than that not a bad effort, but a D minus I'm afraid.
