"heavily discounted and inventory changes weekly" is my favourite parts of collecting scrap metal

[@jacquesb5248]

well said eh

[@JacobAnaya369]

Please don’t make it a three wheeler, you’re getting so close to making it work I’m so pumped up about it! Great work man!

[@Kaylas_Customs]

This is Something The Boys from Grind Hard Plumbing Could use :)

[@DktheWelder]

Yes I think they could do this way better with more time and budget they could get it working really well👍

[@FarmerFpv]

Yeah, I mentioned it to them at Kig of The Hammers. Hopefully, they will try it. They have electric motors already.

[@DktheWelder]

@@FarmerFpv o cool! I bet their bike looks awesome in real life , did you get to talk to those guys ? I really like their builds

[@mumblety]

true lol

[@mathijsdevries728]

First thing I thought of as well… 😅👍🏻

[@DiHandley]

People like you are what make KZbin so great. Just out there giving it a go! 👍🇦🇺

[@RyanMcCarvill]

That's an Australian flag.

[@bigshan5806]

This is hands down the best backyard engineering ive seen, great can do and problem solving attitude. U r the batkiwi...

[@damonhaggett8385]

I really appreciate that you are test driving every time, no teasers that mislead. Love the Build.

[@benjamintennant6851]

I really enjoy your vids. Great progress. Don't knock yourself, your depth of knowledge and kiwi ingenuity is impressive and a joy to watch. Showing us your failures and frustrations takes courage too, so keep going. Thanks for your content.

[@maccoretti51]

Bro's a bloody legend!

[@DktheWelder]

Thanks , I am always striving to learn more . Glad you enjoy watching

[@Strangernightg]

One thing I know for sure is that once you go riding down the road you'll have a lot of heads turning and people will be taking pictures of you 💯 your the Man 💯

[@sigmacentauri6191]

Geet researcher guy here. I built a scooter some years ago with a pantone reactor on it got my bike to run on vapors of vegetable oil... I gotta say this channel is super brilliant DIY engineering!

[@VanillaGorilla7633]

What makes this great is how you don't give up and you keep chipping at it. This is how thing's become possible when everyone else would just walk away. Great vid! Oh and don't get grounded by mum lol

[@stuwy1237]

Use a relay to control the gyro motor (low amps through the controls and big amps only to the motor). Keep your motorcycle wiring separate from the accessories, specially the high draw items (gyro and stabilizers). Those little switches can't handle much more than a few amps.

[@EddieTheH]

Yup, he should have a look at how the starters wired and copy it.

[@jcarlosmarques1787]

CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU HAVE THE BEST CLOSED MOTORCYCLE I HAVE EVER SEEN!! THE ONLY PROJECT THAT SEEMS LOGICAL. AND VERY PRETTY TOO!!!

[@leonnottingham4618]

You’ve got something here buddy

[@radwizard]

I LOVE the way it sounds when it spins up.

[@matui6983]

Great video for a Sunday👍👍🇳🇿

[@jordanbentley]

Your family is amazing for supporting your ideas and being there when things went wrong.

[@ZeddisDead]

It all started with his father. Great dad's make great men. (and the reverse is sadly true)

[@frenchiemike42]

Have to admit once in a while the youtube algorythm is suggesting some freaking cool video, nice job sir

[@AlexDemaree777ShreddDredd]

Real Extreme G bike pretty dope.

[@brandonrich6342]

This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen built online. You have amazing talent and skill. You've built every boy's dream that was growing up in the 80's and 90's. Man i enjoyed every min of this video.

[@Methuselah_Man]

The amperage on the gyro needs a thicker gauge. You should be able to get away with using 2awg. Run an in-line fuse also. Great build.

[@znail4675]

Putting the gyro inside that huge wheel was brilliant as it both made it safer and used otherwise wasted space!

[@CooBlu20]

This vehicle alone will inspire great things!

[@MarshallMcFarlin]

What a beautiful Quiet Saturday Morning it is today Grabs the CHOP SAW😂😂😂

[@makina323]

Reminds me of the old Extreme-G racing bikes on the n64

[@lychiadventures8231]

the sound the gyro make when it starts spinning is awesome.

[@interestedinstuff]

Someone in the comments probably said this, but that thing is a fusible link. Basically a high current slow fuse. I have them in my bus in the starter motor circuit. It can handle high current longer than a normal fuse, but still blows if there is too much current for too long. If you bridge it with wire, you risk a burn happening some other place. I imagine that little electric motor seriously sucks some current. Keep up the good work. Have fun. Stay safe. (and go to the scrappy and get some much thicker wire and a bag of cable ties from the $2 shop).

[@EddieTheH]

Just copying the wiring for the starter would be my approach to the gyro issue.

[@jameshatton4211]

The end was epic! It reminded me of when i was a kid! Brought home my Suzuki RMX after it got full crank case split. Bottom end rebuild all new bearings. Team Suzuki racing triple ring piston and some slightly under sprung 2rings and the other very tight. 14:1 compression needed avgas/kerosene blend or BP100. It would bruise your foot kick starting it in anything other than motorbike boots. Roll starting 4th gear was the preferred option on this fire shoot assault weapon. Brand new knobby tyre pick a gear and smashed up the gears and roost the size of an electrical pole and left a solid stripe up the paddock.....but the echo of this thing cracking and clapping back off and hill side was something else. We lived on acreage. But was roll reversal. It was mum saying "oh you want till your father sees the paddock when he gets home!" How to fix a potentially angry father before he can get angry? Kickstart the bike the moment he got out of the car 😁 Helmet in hand boots beside the bike and pop flames in his face let him whiff hipo 2 stroke and put 20mm of veg oil in the mix just so it had that Castor oil smell off early period 2 stroke race bikes 👌 "Holy f**king shit that things an animal!' Take it for blat dad. I went and even opened the gate to the same paddock. He fking stomped that thing picking mono as he hit 6th gear because he forgot to downshift and got all squirrelly towards the end and didn't think he was going to pull up in time but the new tyres worked so well 👌 Now if i left a stripe my father dug a trench just about? he muttered through his helmet 'naughty boy!' All i say back was "should seed this with a row of passion fruits or pumpkins with that trench you just dug?" His response was 'hang on let me give it another whirl 😉' I let my father absolutely butcher the paddock to shit so then it wasn't my fault.. Happy days

[@Rocky3ooo]

Looks like a gyro is a must, friggen' Alfred probably bodgyed one up for the🦇. Thanks for the video, great work very interesting.

[@explorernik]

This is a perfect fit for the jurassic park.

[@michaelalbert8474]

You’re like a mad scientist. I LOVE it!! Just a thought from a motorcycle enthusiast, motorcycles need to lean to turn. Your bike tries to lean and your skid pads won’t let it. Hence, you can only drive straight. Hope this helps.

[@austienbryandemesa5841]

i'm not into motorcycles but this and the monster chopper build makes my whole week complete.

[@jesperwall839]

Just love the humor in these videos 😂

[@JaydenLawson]

Massive effort filming this - I appreciate how much extra effort it takes.

[@justadog8248]

All Hail DIY people!! I love watching this guy. I was thinking of putting the fly wheel in the tire.

[@TK42138]

I'm liking this a lot. It looks great, when that gyro powers up it sounds suitably 'scifi' and it actually reminds me of those robot bikes from 'Terminator Salvation'

[@TheTwistedStone]

The expressions on the kids face at 9:40 are priceless, top little man.

[@edesmvanni]

Saw this awhile back and it wouldnt stay upright now u got it bro great job

[@mikebergman1817]

I can't believe how well that worked, considering the small problems. Super cool bike man. Subbed.

[@Tony-op6xf]

You and the guy making the iron man suit would make an unstoppable team.

[@ZeddisDead]

Who's making the iron man suit?! 😮

[@Suavache]

I am a technology enthusiast and it was very interesting to watch the video. Thank you for sharing with the audience

[@fvpaquetqc]

This build is getting pretty crazy! The paint changes the whole thing it looks great

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

[@davidmason5163]

Contactor relay for gyro motor. Small current switches larger current.

[@GTAVC16]

I am a certified automotive mechatronic and dump some info for you here: I'd suggest using a dedicated relay/fuse board and placing it close to the engine to keep cable lengths short for high current devices. Never run the whole power through your switches, use them to provide the current to power the relays. Run everything that needs a lot of power through an appropriately sized relay. Those Gyros will use a lot of amperage, especially when starting up with such a massive flywheel attached. They can use up to 10 times the current when starting. Consider using a resistor to limit current and prolong the life of the motor due to less heat. Try to dedicate a fuse for everything, NEVER run something without a fuse! Electrical Fire Hazard. Make sure the current capacity of your Alternator is rated to supply enough amperage at its designated voltage. Install a voltage meter at your dashboard, too. If you need anything, just send me a message, I'll be happy to help.

[@AcmeAce]

It's a stator not an alternator well they are kinda the same. Yeah your right about relays and fuses. Lots of relays they allow for smaller switches and smaller wire. You can use multiple relays small to bigger and so on.

[@OkamiSatsujin]

From one street fighter to another, you got yourself a new subscriber 😂

[@olsonspeed]

The bike is looking more Cyberpunk with each episode. Magic Blue Smoke electrical gremlins are common on projects like this. It takes time and patience to sort them all out, I have confidence you will prevail.

[@Agoodsnowman]

Awesome job!

[@GordonScottYankeeEngineer]

Bravo! Well, done my friend. I have always been fascinated by gyroscopes and seeing one being used in application (as opposed to demonstration purposes ) is really cool. 😎

[@Pablo453]

Man that is an awesome build. Makes me want to rebuild my Harley, again! VERY COOL.

[@arelydewaegeneer7506]

Is it just me or is this great to watch!

[@yanito8508]

6:25 probably my favorite part of the video hahah!!! awesome build man

[@clintyoung8255]

Looking forward to finish looking at this video later on today. What I've seen is cool.

[@Sam97979]

nice work there Mr.Wayne. I'm impressed

[@nicktumi]

Put a POT or a current limiter in series of the circuit for the gyro. You might have to figure out how much current you need for optimal gyro rpm to figure out the current. Or take a potentiometer (POT) and turn till RPM is found and measure the current.

[@orestestrivellas3153]

hell yeah that's sick. subbed when u referenced that monorail video last episode - gyro is so goddamn baller. hope u use that crazy monorail geared gyro design! can't tell you how unreasonably pumped i was when this uploaded u guys kick ass over there love from the states

[@Scottuz]

I caught the first of your vids a few weeks back, and after catching up on your build, look forward to seeing the next Installment this Gyro you're building is great to see, with back yard mechanics, and great tools, can't wait to see you get this fettled and running sweetly

[@spoonerbooner]

It just keeps getting cooler

[@BlackBrucewayne2300]

True Batman fan brother please keep going with project would love to see it fully functional you are a talented individual and I enjoy your content

[@Tavnott]

Thank you ror sharing! As im watching im realizing the amount of time effort and energy you put into the editing of the video in addition to building, testing and redesigning the bike. Thats a lot! Thanks.

[@kckustomwelding]

Glad to see you cruising!!! Can't wait to see this thing on the pavement!!!Maybe upsize your wiring and add a separate circuit to really spin that thing!

[@michaelstarr5861]

Looks better than the movie bike. Guaranteed

[@raptorsean1464]

I love your white board in the back. I really need to start implementing something like that.

James brunton is the expert to teach you about gyros. Odrive is a must. Arduino is easy as you steal others projects. James brunton gives away his code wiring and 3D models.

This looks like it could be the real Bikepillar. Look it up, it’s an orange framed bike that might be just an unreal engine design but yours is cooler because it’s real, very nice.

[@Gentleman...Driver]

The first episode of this series was recommended to me yesterday. I didnt know the channel before. I was going to make the very original comment "Do you have one of these in black?". I am sure nobody asked this before. I am glad I waited a bit before I made this cool statement. That said: Dude, your builds are insane and you are making funny videos. Subscribed. :) I will casually binge watch the rest of the videos. :)

Relays brotha! And to a lesser extent, bus bars.

[@TempleGuitars]

You're so awesome, bro. I hope it can work out as a 2 wheeler. Are you going to try thicker gauge wiring to the gyro to avoid the loom overheating?
