TMF - Where does the oil live?

[@DavesInHisGarage]

"Hey kids" is what got him on the list 😂😂😂

[@majormassenspektrometer]

lol

[@stevemillerecon]

In all my life it's never occurred to me to buy suspension parts based on how they look.

[@2stroke438]

If they give off "good energy" then the bike will perform better.

[@DavesInHisGarage]

And if all else fails we can give it a coat of tough black from dels play book lol

[@spatchist]

Never too late to start ! There are some great looking suspension units out there .

[@waw4623]

Some people can do the same thing for 30 years and still not get what it's about. From this guy's experience, riding is about looks and collecting gear. Like a pokemon game. And he preaches it too, amazing :D

[@MotoGoato]

lol ..... the £200 rear shocks on his £14K enfield ............. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@melthebelgian.5837]

Hope the shocks on the BMW, Goldwing and Ducati never fail, if a tek shock is expensive.

[@majormassenspektrometer]

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤘🤘

[@amalconcentric898]

Well, I pointed out a couple of things to the Miserable Fiddler. Namely, as a pilot, if he found a patch of oil under his aircraft prior to take off..he wouldn't whizz it up into the skies to see what develops...but he was happy to take to the roads on a bike pissing oil out. I also mentioned that, if he lost control and killed someone, on a dodgy bike which had a pre existing, known fault, its jail time. I was polite, gave him my opinion, as I've been asked to do by several coroners over the years (a good coroner always asks an engineer his opinion, rather than getting super technical, often in front of the family of the deceased), yet he saw his backside big time. Banned me good. Oops. Apparently I contravened his articles 3 and 5.

[@cliveadams7629]

Par for the course for an idiot who doesn't want to be shown up for what he is.

[@maximXX]

[@lyndonbull3581]

Yes

[@liamtaylor93]

"Its a great little bike, bullet proof" he says... before he drops 10 Grand on mods for it and turns another bike into a disaster. Its like a KZbin shorts version of Del.

[@11metalfan]

I used to stay on the right side of the lane because the bulk of the shite (nails, bolts, screwdrivers, sand, branches) on the roads here tends to collect on the left Even in the car I keep it out of the shite and as you said for better sightlines.

[@fifthoarsmanoftheacropolis4173]

I suspect the left side shock had no oil in it to start with, so now the bike has a more uniform setup

[@Twm532]

Look up the mileage on the MOT history. The triumpth only has 2.4k miles on it and the GS doesn't even do 1k miles a year. I guess going to the coffee shop is the only riding he does

[@TheLiamis]

Probably a fashion accessory and not a vehicle. Most harley riders are like that.

[@laurencewynn3580]

I had a rough count of his suits, and I got 23 and 19 helmets. These outfits aren't even the ones he wears while riding. He also has different outfits for each type of bike he rides.

[@chrispomphrett4283]

I've only got one of each. I must be the wrong sort of motorcyclist...

[@digger8180]

There are lots of slap heads like him!

[@leuvenlife]

yeah, the word 'closet' springs to mind... and not for the clothes.

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

Ironically, perfect trick to play on a guy like that would be to pour oil on one of the bikes while he's away.

[@maximXX]

😂😂❤this

[@the.just.able.biker67]

😂😂😂😂

[@anotherhonda9402]

I don't understand why people use TEC shocks, if you need to upgrade, get something better, OEM from another bike for the same price or less. I'm fitting ZRX1100 rear shocks and CBR600F4 cartridge fork internals to my Bonneville. The ZRX shocks were cheaper than Tec but OEM KYB with adjustable rebound and compression. I picked up the Showa cartridge forks for less than a set of progressive springs. It's a conversion a few people have tried which works well. My 125 had a Triumph TT600 rear shock as the original leaked and had the same length and stroke and known to work well with that bike. Or if you have that much money to spunk on bikes get Ohlins.

[@chrisdenton6492]

As a pilot, you'd expect him to at least know how gravity works... Thick as mince this bloke

[@Berg501]

He can't overtake a car on a Panigale, he's not going to bothered about manoeuvrability on a Goldwing.

[@gafrers]

Disaster squared. Even better after the livestream Del's long lost richer, balder brother. Another walking oxymoron. Also quite the fiddler vibes

[@digger8180]

Yes indeed +1

[@JamesParus]

Probably poured some oil to ground. Then engage the audience by asking what could it be.

[@mattblackledge9068]

He did have a dirtbike too a couple of years back. He had a Honda CRF.

[@majordelays4909]

I started off thinking you were a little harsh, but now I’m pissing my sides 😂 bravo

[@czarekp3552]

Just taste it.... If it tastes like a cat piss, that means that cat pissed there

[@CZ350tuner]

It might be to do with my Yorkshire / Scottish ancestry, but I've always rebuilt my own leaky shocks,, even OEM ones, because replacing a worn out 50p seal is not a big deal to replace. (Having a spring compressing tool helps).

[@stykytte]

I have to admit TMF and myself have a lot in common, we both have dozens of cute little outfits to wear, we both gotta look good no matter the cost or how uncomfortable it makes us, and we're both into risking life and limb riding things down twisty country roads with a lubed rear end. Seriously though, it's all about looks not substance to these "biking is my personality" people, same as the bell ends you pick out in the comments, they don't care about being correct, they just want to *look* smart.

[@majormassenspektrometer]

...and limb riding things down twisty country roads with a lubed rear end HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂

[@S7AINLESS]

Was wondering when this was going to pop up 😂

[@gogopowerrangers6596]

I used to watch him. But in recent years he seems to be more about selling clothes, helmets, gloves, jackets, security garage door systems. Many of which you will see in his garage as he gets many of them for free. I guess it’s part of how these channels work now. His reviews are pretty watered down and he tends to never really hate on a bike as he means he wont get given any more to ride. So you can’t really take much of what he says with any real feeling of honesty. I don’t think he is a bad guy he is just a bit of a wet fanny.

[@adrianrodrigoguitar9482]

21:00 probably the lever is in that position because the bars are too long and the clutch cable is too short. They couldn't be bothered to change it.

[@PRB1098]

All the gear, and no idea!

[@archiedentone5950]

The guy talking about the shock leaking from sitting is bringing up ancient seals made of leather

[@bambalam9170]

He seems to make a virtue out of being mechanically ignorant.

[@stevewalker2028]

I have 5 bike jackets & 3 helmets, and it felt a bit excessive until I saw TMF's absurd garage. Looked like a J&S showroom.

[@andrewwiltse8882]

Pompous rich guy with a channel for stoking his own ego. Funny that after Del was on his MTV segment, Del started collecting more bikes. Must be a tax dodge of some sort. Thanks Matt

[@mmdirtyworkz]

I love Louis Theroux Weird Weekends and many other fine docs he made! Such a nice guy while not avoiding difficult questions.

[@midlandt4249]

Most people that realise they have bought shit don't go back for more just because they look good.

[@mattkemp1902]

Here's how I check my oil level. 1. drive bike onto a scale, record the weight. 2. open the sump bolt. 3. clean the oil off the scale and record the difference in weight. Congrats. You now know how much oil is in your bike, or was in your bike. 4. Collect the oil from the floor and scale and put it back in the bike. As a bonus you get lots of healthy nutrients from the garage floor which helps your engine's digestive tract. If you want a quick and dirty method you can stick a tape measure or ruler in the oil sump like a dip stick and then just use google to convert the cms to millilitres, or if you prefer imperial, yards to cubic milli-inches

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

If he moved his wardrobe into the house, maybe it would be easier to get the bikes out.

[@2stroke438]

The tiny hand stick is always funny, I dont care who is using it.

[@spatchist]

I believe Amazon sell them as a teacher's aide. The guy at ' Stanceworks' uses one to good effect.

[@mikeball5883]

He had a few quid before he started his KZbin channel if you can afford to own a plane and fly it then you have a good income

[@crabbitoldgit6053]

He doesn't own the plane he flies. It's registered in some other guys name, so he either rents it occasionally or he's part of a group consortium.

[@stojce]

Even the oil spill might be staged.🤪

[@kunka592]

KZbin has a playback speed setting that would solve the talking fast "issue". TMF could suggest that instead of being a knob, or just leave that part out.

[@jonmatney3404]

Why do people who "can't " act like they "can"? He probably poured pancake syrup on it.😂

[@robwebber1217]

I wondered if you would end up doing a video on this, you've made my day lol

[@jediknight129]

TMF is about as funny as a dose of dangue fever. The speed that small print flashed up What a twerp. I cannot imagine how miserable he would be to work with.

[@GTMarmot]

31:29 that's the road into Great Missenden high street. If you keep going straight you end up on the Wycombe road. He should showcase the area around Aylesbury, Wendover, Tring, etc. Bit more interesting than residential streets.

[@mikes747]

If I saw that oil coming out of my bike there's no way it would be going anywhere near the road until it was fixed! It was all over the rear tyre! It would be different if you were already out and limped it home but he knowingly went out on on an unroadworthy bike with a dangerous fault and postedi it on KZbin! Ffs!

[@See_you_next_timee]

I think this guy is all about the 💰 🤑 💸 💲 money

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

I think he wants more than that - he's after admiration, respect, and some proper opportunities to cuck and simp.

[@chrisroake1687]

Ego i reckon

[@See_you_next_timee]

@@Unfunny_Username_389 that's his jazz. But he looks like a money chasing git

[@schelmean16]

Had to deal with suspension leaks on new japanese bikes too. The left fork seal on a one year old MT07 went bad and 2 years later a dripping rear shock on a new Z400. (each within the first 10 000 km) Quite a number since only 4 friends of mine got new bikes in the last 5 years.

[@lgg691]

Yes! Keep calling out these lolcows :D

[@cliveadams7629]

Excellent video by TMF. Oil leaking onto your back wheel? Take it out for a test drive and see how much more is left to piss over the rear disk and tyre and how long you can stay on for. Eminently sensible, even Del wouldn't be that dumb. Or would he...

[@GTMarmot]

I know those roads. He only goes around the block. He never goes down the A413 (which is relatively fast and safe) in his videos. That's a bit weird.

[@jameswebbe]

I don't think he will be asking del boy to look at it 😂

[@Mickyboy]

I'm pretty certain he did have a CRF250 as well.

[@bennyhill2073]

[@daveharriman2756]

Probably too late to comment, but when TMF had that Enfield done, he wanted those longer bars fitted, it looks like the clutch cable had not been changed for a longer one. He so got ripped off for the 'mods' on that bike😆

[@n3mos]

Hes got a shops worth of bike jackets, must get cold around missindon

[@nauroticdax]

oh no these aftermarket shocks I bought leaked, lets buy another pair. wow...it's amazing how exposing critical thinking or lack thereof really is and it only takes a second

What a muppet saying something is wrong with the panigale. Its a race bike thats not being used enough because he's to scared

[@speedtriplerider7853]

MF has a quarter of a million subscribers so he must be doing something right; I wonder what it is.

[@TornadoCAN99]

So a shock with lost oil from reservoir would suffer loss of damping, but the springs will still support all the weight. Should not be bottoming out on bumps, right? Will tend to bounce more. Is the piggy back reservoir holding oil or just pressurized gas?

[@jediknight1294]

On a lot of the tech shocks they hold nothing because they aren't sealed and pressurised properly and the nitrogen pisses out through the schrader valve.

[@Drainingtheswamp2022]

Ive got a potentially serious safety issue with my bike....... im just going to ride it to confirm 😂😂

[@CallumWK]

what does he thinks happens to bikes when you leave them for 4 weeks?
