[@keithbird7176]

as much as i like your travelling vids , It;s great to be back to the comedy team again

[@ericosborne9267]

I'm glad you're back in the shop, you and Simon make a good team.

[@chadr9791]

Really ,really enjoyed that,...soooooo funny .The shoot of the two boys standing together drinking tea as they planed ,what parts they will steal next off your bike ,and last ,,beautiful helmet from Roroc

[@peterroerhorst3743]

Happy you're back at Simon's! I reconize this typical English humor, which my English friends also have, with the same jokes. Say hello to Simon, I missed him and the workshop, and all the dwellers there and ofcouse.....the invisable dog!!! XXX

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Was a funny day 😂

Love your streams , live in the midwest where when its too cold, or too much snow to ride , So I jump on your stream just to know Tomboy is taking me for a ride that day or nite .. great project by the way

[@haxan6663]

Interested to see how this build goes. My hardtail days are long gone, my XS650 chop being sold back in the 90s. Seeing the workshop reminded me of my late friend, Steve, who was always building something in his garage. Usually out of what he could find amongst his spares. The best was a Honda 250 hardtail, that cost him £150, to build and get on the road. He used that bike to commute to work for about 4 years! It never let him down and he said if it ever did, and he couldn't fix it at the side of the road, he could just leave it there and it would owe him nothing.

[@ttrguy9952]

TomBoy Fantastic "Shop" video! I love the way you torture Simon and visa versa. Epic! 🤣🤣 This is my favorite channel. I have never seen a beautiful Lady so happy to get a set of Drill bits in my life! I can't breath here. 😆 It's great that you like doing the work on your own build. That will make it more special when it's finished. That's only if Simon lets you!! I can't wait for the next video! That is a Beautiful graphic on the helmet! Ride SAFE and BE safe

[@raygreeninfo]

It's very nice seeing you and Simon back with the spanners Deimante. I appreciate and love everything you share though your build videos are the best.

[@Scout4x]

Okay, never mind. I heard it later in the video. By the way, I like your choices of music.

[@mikep.9371]

Yay, Deimante is back in the shop. Will she get her two flapper disks? Will she arrive early on Monday and get the frame into the jig? Will Simon hid her new set of sharp drills? Tune in next week for the D & Simon show (will he still have invisible treats for the invisible dog?).

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

I read that with the TV accent in my head 😂

[@krazykittyharleygal]

Love it. The idea. I too am doing a conversion to my 883, though keeping the frame. ❤

[@pulehushortribs157]

Beautiful Helmet, Looking forward to watching the build. Always a pleasure to watch Your vids Tomboy!✌❤🤗

[@leswatson8563]

Evening Tomboy and Simon. Very enjoyable and very entertaining vlog from you two again. Can't wait to see what direction this build will go in? So till next time 👍😊.

[@iantaylor789]

Enjoyed this hurry up part 2 can’t wait.

[@daveballam8704]

Really have missed you and Simon working laughing together, will you be filming every time you go to mint work shop hope so great to see you two together again ❤❤

[@richardparkhouse9571]

beauty and the beasts 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta love you and the mint custom crew 🤣🤣🤣

[@paddleboatman3767]

Very existing this build. Have a 96 1200 stripped ready for chopping again. Have a 2 under springer and 16inch front wheel. Going for low bobber. That helmet. Faarrrkkkkking awesome!

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

I taught a lot of women how to ride a bike using my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto. The bike is low and very light weight. With a hard tail the chain is much longer lasting. A sprung seat is a blessing. I wore out a hard tail and replaced it because it was a bolt on. My good quality Renolds chain was holding the back end of the bike together.

[@ragnarironspear1791]

You're back 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

[@tomboyabit]

..and I'm feeling gooood

[@raban5435]

A very cool project! Ride on! 🤘👍

[@davidkeppler56]

Invisible dog? Dunno what you lot are on about, I could see a springer spaniel. I have had a lot of cold medicine though…

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

😂😂😂 welcome to my world 👍

[@richardparkhouse9571]

flapper discs biscuits and invisible dogs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tomboyabit]

Yeah Invisible dogs I need time to get used to. That was first.

[@richardparkhouse9571]

@@tomboyabit its loveley to see you back in the mint pit xxx

[@max.fleming1045]

Can't wait to see what you build Diamante. Don't know if you've ever come across her but there's a young Canadian woman, Angel who's really into old Harley's with a KZbin channel called Red Rider. She's built a old custom shovel head that's very steampunk and the coolest Harley I've ever seen. She's also a bloody good mechanic doing videos on how to rebuild transmissions and all sorts Harley.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Well that was a fuck me sideways helmet. The detail in that was awesome. Ok well good luck with the new build and the invisible dog that only Simon sees.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

And Richard..... its his dog. It ran off 20 mins later and we couldn't find it 😂

[@tiga66]

Just put a deposit on a 1200 roadster in velocity red. 😊

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

I have had my Sportster for 25 years and 400,000 miles on the original engine. Harley 's best engine bar none.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

400.000 miles? 😮

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

@@MINTCUSTOM5 Yep all true. Speedo was on backorder for 3 years. I figured 10,000 for a back tires and 20,000 for the front ones.Went through 3 belts. Change the fluids and filters as needed. Carburetor was just cleaned for the first time in 25 years. Even with a carb full of crap the bike still tried to run. Many people have gotten huge amounts of mileage from EVO Sportsters. It did sit for 4 years while I was using my URAL side car outfit because I needed the stability of 3 wheels. I needed a new ignition switch, battery,carb cleaning but no one would do anything to it because it was over 10 years old. She is like a dog 🐶 that has been rehomed. Out lasted all of my Hondas put together.

[@millinutz]

I'm sitting here trying to keep up with all the Bike-builds that have been started, but not been ridden or sold..., and then the next build starts!! This is doing my head in. If those Legs (for only £150?) have been shaved Simon, then that means it must obviously be a Female bike. Three months to get tis Build done and on the road.... dream on guys, that is a "Dei 'n Si feat" that has never been accomplished.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Apex is finished and ridden.... Jonesy has gone off for new wiring...... Do we sit and wait around for that to come back or start the new build? 🤔 erm.... obviously start the new one 🤦‍♂️😁

[@millinutz]

@@MINTCUSTOM5 like you two, I can rarely be serious in this shite world, so I often write nonsense, so don't take me serious. Apex was only ridden round your yard but has never been A Feature, that's what I was expecting! Have fun, take care and don't eat too many Gingernuts, I like them as well (dunked in Tea) and my supplier has them no longer in stock!

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Questions have to be asked my friend not a problem, weather is too bad to book a trackday for Apex but it's getting nearer to spring so we can sort that. 👍👍

[@JohnTanner61]

Love

[@blackline66]

Do you ever finish anything? Start them or review what you did?

[@tomboyabit]

Apex is finished. And ridden. Jonesy is in my van waiting to go get electrics sorted. What else I haven’t finished?

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

can you get the bottom of the frame level with the ground when cutting the frame to increase the fork angle/take? ,🤔

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

She's going for a short front end bobber style running a 2" under stock leg set up. I think it's explained in the next vid 👍👍👍

[@daveco1270]

Who's the artist that did that awesome drawing of Simons bike? Do they take commissions? Also, what's a flapper disk?

[@richardparkhouse9571]

one thing i will say serious though !!!! put your hair up girl when your using rotating power tools sort her out simon xx

[@tomboyabit]

I knew someone will say that. But trust me I was very aware where my hair is. It looked close because it was close to the camera.

[@richardparkhouse9571]

@@tomboyabit i know that i,m just saying be careful young lady xxxx

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Does this mean that if you ever fall on hard times and become a Lady of the Night that you will accept either cash or flapper discs as payment for services rendered? :)

[@Scout4x]

I'm a newer subscriber, so maybe I missed something from another video, but the title of this bit has "hardtail" in it when there are, obviously, rear shocks on the bike. Are you planning on making it a hardtail?

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Yes bud. I think you might have to binge watch the series 😉.... stay tuned my friend 👍👍👍

[@tomboyabit]

Simon answered first, but yes, it is a donor or ‘before’ bike you see on a thumbnail. It will be nothing like that.

[@Matticus-mb6wl]

​@@tomboyabit You guys are a lot of fun, just might motivate me to finish the Virago.

Hi where did you buy that jacket you wear. Keep um running

Boyds of Bedford supply those jackets

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Mine was from Tesco just incase you were wondering 😂

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Gonna be awesome, but shit I thought it wasn't half bad the way is now!...

It's a small sacrifice for an epic little bobber 😊

Where can I get myself one of them blonde foreign girls, cute.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

You wouldn't want one.... waaay too much hassle. 😂

[@PatrickWhitaker-ls2cs]

Tip, don't sell the parts until you're sure.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Ooohhh pretty sure we won't be using anything apart from the motor and wheels 😊👍👍👍

[@denniseaton8136]

You'll love it!.....until you ride it. Hardtails are not fun in the real world.

[@tomboyabit]

I had a few chances to ride one. I survived. And I loved it.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

I commute and tour on hardtail chops.... granted its not for everyone 👍👍👍

[@mattivirta]

hardtail totally stupid idea if have before softtail. today any not need old stupid hardtail.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Go and watch something else then, Im not forcing you to watch this,,,,,,, we dont need stupid people

[@frankietaylor5905]

Hardly driveable. Rigid frame, no suspension. Stupid. Ridiculous, a joke

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Glad you like it 😂

[@Johnrockerldn]

Could be a good vid etc but too much messing about.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

It's a shame you're not enjoying our vlogs. Maybe we should watch some of your own videos for some tips on how to make interesting vlogs? I'll go and check your channel out 👍👍👍

[@Johnrockerldn]

@@MINTCUSTOM5 go for it but you wont find anything of interest to you. I just prefer to watch more building content etc thats all, good to have a little of messing about i know but more than the actual build is not for me, i watch the vids every now and then but not enough to subscribe.
