Yup, more bikes pls 🙏

No more bikes, please...

“Factory cafe” version of these standard bikes seems to gain popularity here in Asia.

Look at that young and fresh Winston and Matt. Great that you found a audience to upload this for

NEVER HAVE I CLICKED FASTER! I'm in like flynn, take me to awesome town! ive wanted to see you guys do something like this for a while now. more bike videos please.

[@MrLunithy]

Haven't heard that in like flynn since I left Alice..... lol

[@MrCarGuy]

I was hoping you'd cover this eventually. Motorcycles are such a great hobby.

[@thevinmeister5015]

Seriously

[@befer]

That's literally what they started with what are you talking about. Their whole BRAND was Churchill customs wtf

[@BilgemasterBill]

I totally agree. Their ADVChina and old Churchill customs renown should make custom "curated" modified Chinese bikes a natural segue now that they're here in the States. I'm sure lots of folks over here might wanna buy one if they were just "beefy" enough for occasional highway use--say 400cc or more.

[@stevec9669]

Happy to see a bike video here every now and then.

[@yeticusrex1661]

Ahhh....I get it now....after seeing the colors on "C-Milk's" motorcycle, his name is short for Chocolate Milk.

[@KA-vs7nl]

Condensed milk

[@ohno8589]

Clear Milk

[@jdman141]

These guys are correct, it's for condensed milk. A Winston joke as I recall from Matt's wedding.

[@mikebrennan7045]

Cows milk

[@yeticusrex1661]

Actually, I knew it was condensed milk...I was making a joke seeing that his seat on his motorcycle was chocolate colored.

[@vegasracer7]

Yep... really like this. Bikes were the reason I originally subscribed to your channels, so... more please!

[@kristopherbell7158]

As a owner of two motorcycles, a 97 vfr and a 2014 cb1100 i approve!

[@ConnorGMedia]

I actually have a whole build series on my '96 GN125, where I "bolt stuff on" (for the most part, lol). They're just so cheap / reliable, and It's been an awesome time learning the ins and outs. Totally love this build - thing looks sweet!!💪🏍️

[@yonimemonic5396]

Winston, the man with a suit and flip flops :P

I'm glad you mentioned the spacers and so forth to give us an idea what is really involved.

Man watching this makes me think back when I helped my uncle rebuild his buddy's 1992 Harley Fatboy 17yrs ago. It took us around 4 months to complete it and that was the 1st and only Harley I ever ridden, car's are my thing

[@zaxarispetixos8728]

Harleys are junk try an other bike.

[@bawzworkz5574]

Do more bikes guys. This was awesome and I learned tons of this. You guys are honestly becoming my fav KZbin’s and I’m following you both since your China only content for ages.

[@williamswenson5315]

The bikes you rode in your documentaries each had such a simple, but classy style about them. Minimalist and clean, they appeared graceful even in repose. Who knows? Perhaps you should copywrite "Churchill Motors" along with the logo and file it under future projects.

[@ayedee6681]

time to bring this channel back WINSTON!

[@denzelfashington3110]

Hate bikes, but this video made me wanna drive one

[@MatthiasAI]

This was actually amazing to watch... I never liked bikes before but the amount of tinkering you can do has made me interested.

[@ramirezer2302]

I need more videos from this channel

[@dearjulio]

I had a GN250 at Uni many years ago.Wish I saw this video back them. Cool bikes guys and great video!! 🏍👍

[@MrStehooper]

The bike stuff is GREAT content guys... Really liked this one, in depth and informative, well done!

Winston and C Milk Great Video Thanks

[@ahmedp800]

Wow that transformed the bike entirely! Loving your videos, please do more :)

[@khomol]

Is there a button for double like. I’ve never needed it before in all the years of KZbin.

[@natelan69420]

I think this is now my favorite channel from you both. Love all your content but have really been diggin' Worthless Whips lately.

[@Dowent]

I love the bike stuff. Plus it's really impressive how much you've managed to change with so few tools. Imagination and persistence wins through. PS: Thanks for the grip removal tip, I've torn so many, I'll give that a try.

[@BryceByerley]

great looking bike. I wish I had this video back in my 20s.

[@johnriley3936]

I really enjoyed this video. It was you guys traveling on the bikes that got me interested in fixing up my dads CB750.

[@SDreamchaser1990]

I’ve been wanting one of these bikes forever!

[@WhiteNorthStar1]

It's a beautiful little biks. SOLID tutorial!

[@arminprnjavorac2084]

Please make more videos about motorcycles. Great build!

[@alirezatopiwala8268]

Been looking forward to this for a while. Awesome stuff guys

[@grandriver3152]

You kinda reminded of a stewardess on a plane doing the safety briefing.☺

[@andrewlietz2798]

This video will teach me how to be a really cool dude.

[@waylmaster7487]

I actually built my first "motorbike" about a month ago. I bought a cheap Chinese 49cc 4 stroke bike kit and outfitted an old used mountain bike. I'm only 15 so no license or nothing so this is good for now. It does about 50+ Kmph so thats more than enough for cruising Toronto. Best thing is, it cost me under 400 bucks. We all gotta start somewhere! These vids are really inspiring and I love your content. STAY AWESOME!

[@prayforpeacenow]

Love to see more do it yourself videos. Nice work.

[@wannaseethevid]

It is recommended when you take your front wheel off to place a bit of a spacer between the pads to ensure the caliper doesn't close up. I usually just place an allen/hex key between them to keep them open. I here tell that if you didn't it is possible to accidently knock your front brake and squeeze them in, it is even possible to actually (say someone pulled the front brake on for instance) push the brake piston passed its seal) and then DOH!!!!!! so place a simple wedge in between to save a lot of hassle.. Just my 2 cents.

[@rwiersema]

What I usually do is just take the 2 bolts out of the caliper and fit that when the wheel is on. That way you're not trying to make 5 things fit at once (especially with dual front discs)

[@yonimemonic5396]

Loved this one, I hope you do more about bikes in the future :)

[@maxhen1132]

Maaan that original colours are beautiful😢😢

I have built 3 bikes already but this back to basics video was really good reminder. Now all I need is smaller bike like this 😂

Your custom bikes got me into riding again. Bought an XSR900 and love it.

Awesome Video Winston! Love everything you and C-Milk put out. Just watched your Stay Awesome Documentary the other day and it was phenomenal. I also ended up renting the other documentaries just to watch them over again.

[@juststeve5542]

Yay! Bike! Winston's cheap bike challenge from all those years ago is part of the reason why I have a GS250 in 1000 bits in my garage right now! 40 year old JIS machine screws really don't like coming undone! (I should have got a GN, parts are so much easier to find! lol!). The other reason is my VTR1000 is worse on fuel getting me to work than my car! LOL! It'll be on the road this year, honest!

[@serpentza]

Can’t wait for it to be finished!

[@juststeve5542]

@@serpentza neither can I! I should have made a video series of it, it would run longer than a US election count! (I didn't plan on it to take so long, but then I found a new old stock tank in the original colour and it started turning into a restoration project!).

[@ronerie]

Great job on this video ! I just happened to be doing a search for Custom Scrambler builds for the 250 cc Suzuki's and came across yours ! Looking for fender ideas, as I don't like the look of ANY bike without a rear fender, and this video is like, easy, relatively low cost, bike customizing 101, lol !!!!! Great idea for both fenders, and Gave me more ideas !!! Thanks !!!

[@jdman141]

Cool video. You make it seem simple although I know it would be well beyond my capabilities. Fun watching the process.

[@marshallkaufman3123]

im am 19 from canada i got a yamaha blaster atv and fabricated a cg125 motor into the frame ! its a little ripper. i got the quad for free and you can get the engine for literally like 200 dollars and they are super reliable. my other build im doing is a dt50lc engine into a mini moto dirt bike it's pretty much all done atm. cheers!

[@fynnschwager3633]

This video fits perfectly to what I want to make, I really like it that you haven't cut the frame, bc thats smth I was a bit afrait to do but now I see its also posible without cutting it.

[@lyndonbull3581]

Good to see you guys doing some bike stuff again at long last. I love the muscle car stuff, but being an ardent biker and coming from the UK I am not so interested in owning one. I currently work in the Middle East and my future wife is a Chinese woman, so I am always interested in your videos.

[@robertbessler5513]

Winston that was awesome!!! Thank you.

[@dula4552]

That was awesome guys!!! Any chance of a parts list for this build? Just as a comparison to get started, or even just an example parts list for the GN? This has been on my bucket list since i first found your channel and watched your build videos back in China. Didn't quite know what sort of build i wanted to do however, but this one ticks every box i wanted. I know exactly what paint job i'll do too! Can't wait!

[@chrispetersen3151]

Yeah, Bruh !! I had a GN400 back in say...87 that I got for $400. Black on black like your 125. I was looking for an SR500 Yamaha, but they were all over $1000.. That little Suzuki was a 5 speed thumper, with a top speed of like 80. But it was what I needed at the time to really gain confidence as a rider, I was just a kid.. That's the bike I rode when mastered wheelies around corners, going up stairs, kicking over bikes without using the compression release, etc. It was a good solid bike. If it only had one more gear...

[@organiccold]

Amazing build. Simple but done a big diference for better :)

[@demogadget]

love it. More scramblers please :)

[@andymehrer457]

lol i love you guys but it is funny that i live in the high rockies and yesterday was this first nice day i felt i could brave a ride with out freezing my butt off and you guys have more weather protection than i did just tooling in the garage in socal. IM AM LOVING THE BIKE STUFF THOUGH! you guys could do touring in america on motorcycles and kill it. more than muscle cars i would think. With the stuff you guys have been through in china on street bikes some fire roads and cool towns would be a breeze for you. keep up the good work!

[@DARKSTAR-ug4dw]

There are some videos of this Peruvian kid working on gn125s, and does a "brat style" mod that has super similar to your design. You should check it out, he welds a custom seat support with a led strip and it looks awesome. I appreciate the way you frame your serpentza videos with the vcr tape intro/outro (nogistalgia factor), it's the little things. Your fathers stories are awesome. You do work that saves lives and is helping save this country. From east central Missouri, Stay Awesome we love you guys here, I am helping share your channel(s) and message for years now. Hi cmilk, love you guys, first saw C.S.C. in 2017.

I really like the bike stuff, doing a custom bike build is also really good cause you can watch the transformation in an episode or two, you could make cool custom bikes make media on them, then sell or auction them, they're cool, unique, simple and not too expensive, and they would have story behind them... I think you could sell them
