Converting Our $1,000 Bikes into Boats ?

[@joekool4]

They've essentially changed this channel inti Top Gear's cheap car challenge, but with bikes, and i love it!

[@Its_an_advocardo]

Top gear literally did this where they turned their bikes into boats

[@flush_entity]

I dont mind it at all! Always loved and rewatched top gear's challenges anyway, why not watch a new series inspired by it??

[@doodlebug6833]

Craig definitely won, he actually turned his motorcycle in to a boatercycle (motorcycle powered boat) now being put into full scale production called the Yamaha Barge. All shawn did was hauling a well decorated motorcycle on some paddle boards XD. Good job on making a funny build up to an underwater recovery, better to get it out of the environment later than never! Doing some well needed service protecting our environment.

[@ronniewilliz153]

Right. I wanted Craig to win he had the perfect set up.

[@BikingVikingHH]

First thing I thought was combine the two ideas, Craigs power plant on Sean‘s flotation device(but with a good rudder), even double the boards and double the bikes onto one boat; really see if you can get that thing going!

[@phild9813]

Yeah Shawn was DQed before they even started. He didn’t even need a bike.

[@ntdscherer]

Though if you're going to dump a motorcycle in a body of water, do it in a quarry.

[@ThisyoungTony]

the issue with the barge is it just has to much drag and unless they foam fill the bins there is a lot of potential to take on water. A hybrid of the 2 would be cool to see. The paddleboards work well and have low drag...... all that being said Craig does have the potential to be out "Boatercycling ©" for a lot longer than the batteries probably have to offer. "Who needs to turn right anyways" - Jeff Gordon (probably)

[@Freecountry44]

What's funny is that body glove just did a recall on those paddle boards, because they would blow up to easily due to glue failure

[@MrWiseinheart]

😮😅

Great job on Ed's Rokon restore for Matt's off-road recovery... Thanks so much for all your hard work and generosity. God Bless you and your families.

[@slinky7821]

One of my favourite things to watch as a kid was a show called scrap heap challenge which basically consisted of two opposing teams (of engineers) who are tasked with designing and creating some sort of crazy machine and then putting them to the test at the end. This video totally reminds me of that show. I think you should shoot a video where you have to create a functional bike when only supplied with a small 125cc engine, tools and a big open scrap yard.

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

Hands down the best KZbin channel for bikes. These two make great content together and man is it funny. Always looking forward to upcoming videos. I love what what bikes and beards has become. The challenges are awesome and the friendships they have is genuine. Keep it up guys.

[@MAGAisacult]

Another great job, creative content. You guys are keeping it fun. I wondered what would happen after SRK, it just keeps getting better.

[@haire618]

Pretty cool history lesson there Craig. Didn't know that. pretty awesome thanks for the knowledge my man!!

[@grisslebear]

GRAIG: "I'm gonna be out there motorboating." Me: GIGGITY!!!

[@briandetrick2688]

Awsome that grown men know what this means

[@SCARLETBIRDS]

solid foam, metal pipe, epoxy paint to coat it once assembled, build pontoons center of mass and elevated so it can't flip and clamp the frame to the bike frame so the rear tire touches the water just under the hub, set up a double fin behind the wheel to direct the water flow for steering, also add an engine snorkel for the crankcase and intake to be safe and silicone your terminals

[@thinkdunson]

i like shawn's floatation method better (although i would have gone with three to be safe), but i like craig's propulsion method way way better (in theory of operation; not sure what went wrong). if there was any wind at all, shawn's leaf blowers would have done nothing whatsoever.

[@guskrough9056]

Really enjoying the personas you two have developed and how they contrast yet complement each other so well.

[@FarmerFpv]

Always some wholesome content with a hint of crazy. Love you guys, lol.

IKR!! Sean uses hand pump then discovers the included electric air pump. Meanwhile my OCD is goin' supernova cause his shop has a big air compressor!! 😅🤣💀🤪

[@zacthesnowman]

i watched you guys alot in the hospital when i was hit by a minivan while snowmobileing i broke half my body snapped the hardest bone to break in half and these guys just made my day night whatever time of the day

[@dieselwrencher8841]

(spoiler) Honestly surprised Sean's worked that well and Craig's flopped that bad

[@laxbrobrandon]

Really? Craig's was so much more complex and cuts through the water worse than my CherokeeXJ cuts through the air

[@montegtaylor]

I agree, when running my leaf blower I don't get pushed around.

[@yamahjett]

I think Sean nailed it; the paddle boards glide much easier over water and has no drag from a rudder to steer it. A little more mad sciencing and Craigs will work pretty good too.

A little over 5,000 miles when I got it 4 years ago and ride it all summer since. Yup, you can find good bikes for under $1,000 if you look and get lucky.

Now I'm have MS and on disability (fixed income) and still no money for one. I would like to ride before/if the MS progress and I'm no longer able to. I've been watching a lot of the Bikes and Beards videos and trying to save up for a KPM 200 as my first motorcycle.

Top Gear Vietnam is my absolute all-time favourite of all the special episodes.

[@Demo12345]

Something I would have done is get hold of some discarded 55 gallon plastic barrels (what they use for holding vanilla extract and whatnot) and made two pontoons from 4 barrels (a pontoon each side made from two barrels attached end to end). Then I would build a platform between them, and add a paddle wheel like on the old paddle steamers to the back. Then a rudder on the front, and after removing the tire from the rear rim I would run a rope or belt to the paddle wheel.
