Yeah he is.

[@jordanlenocker9959]

That's really cool to know.

Guy does awesome job..

[@billk65]

Awesome he is a talented man you don't find many like him anymore its a shame

[@SaddleTrampTV]

You got that right.

[@juliancrooks7559]

He's a true craftsman

[@seeyaontheroad]

Mark did a really good job on that fender. The man knows what he is talking about for sure.

[@tedzirbes6713]

The man is a pro, looks like new. Ride on!

[@mikedanaher3413]

58 years experience. Finished product reflects it. Glad your baby is restored. Scooter is correct. Start with a clean surface. Now ride that beautiful baby home. 👍

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Right on!

[@hdlstns]

I love the patches on Mark's hats!

[@dennyringgenberg5288]

That man is a national treasure. You dont find many like him anymore. If I lived close he would get all of my business

[@randyrpb]

Brother Mark, is one of the most knowledgeable individual about the paint and body plus custom airbrushing I've ever got the pleasure to cross path with. He thinks and creates work that'll blow your mind.

[@DeluxeChimp]

I've heard prep is the key to success when it comes to paint. Lot of skill in those hands and knowledge in that head. He did an amazing job on your fender. ✌😎

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Yes he did! Thanks man!

[@twisted_rides]

You are fortunate to have Mark and a shop like Scooters nearby. Lots of respect for a good craftsman.

[@fps636]

There it is a rare old school REAL DEAL PRO still kicking it out. What a cool old true bike shop. Fender is better than new. Lucky to have him so close, like I got Ron Finch a few miles up the road, an other seasoned Harley icon. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Right on!

[@daxc1972]

Reverse the collision process.... Classic

[@bradengillis6725]

Mark Gillis is my grandfather and i never really got to see the true extent of his work, but this video makes me want to come over there and start learning the trade. Who knows if i learn enough then i could be a man working in that same shop one day. Great vid love the content! ❤️

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Right on, man! Small world, isn't it?

[@skyhill4279]

What an artisan he is. Great to see a chap of 72 still on the tools. Lang may his lum reek!! Fab video Saddle Tramp. 🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@dcbgny7963]

Scooter is 72 years old and God bless him for doing an awesome job on your front fender from your HD Softail Heritage.

[@austinsalmans8837]

Wow! I wish the guy that painted my batwing was that good!

[@David-og7di]

You are so lucky to have guys like this to sort your bike out.

[@kevinmccarty6343]

I love this man....l could listen to him all day. Please please do more interviews and teaching videos with this amazing man

[@roostercrow8076]

Turned out great! Guys like Mr. Gillis are a true treasure. My choke "enrichener" pull did the same thing on my 94 RK, easy fix just take some needle noses plyers and tighten the plastic nut on the bracket.

[@mysporty7149]

That man has those old school skills so hard to find these days

[@mikeshaffer2950]

All I can do is set here on bike with box fan on work bench an make VVRROOM VVRROOM sounds, driveway still covered with ice an snow😞, good to see the ride getting all ready for riding season. It's a shame the younger ones are not carrying on the knowledge of the elders.

[@infini1970]

It's always so nice to see a job well done where so many these days take a job and can't really get the results. Awesome!!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

So true.

[@Ghost-vf2li]

Mr. Daisy. LOL. Glad to see the bike getting fixed.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

You and me both, John. Thanks.

[@neil2945]

That dude's a total badass! Awesome work

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@bradleyyounger8499]

Thats awesome. Told you a good paint n body man could match that up for you.. back to beautiful 😍

[@SaddleTrampTV]

You were right too. Thanks so much.

[@dirkg7062]

He did a great job!

[@antruder]

Must admit, Mark did an absolute fantastic job on that fender ! Great craftmanship !

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Yes indeed!

[@streetwise10-73]

Sweet!...I had a new 2014 Road King I had repainted a dark candy red with grey ghost flames. The bike was in the garage and somehow I moved a brake rotor out of the way on the work bench and not looking it landed on the front fender, almost the exact same spot as your dent. After 20 minutes of several choice words I called my paint guy and he fixed it . Your paint guy is the real deal......Good video, keep the shinny side up.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Ouch!. Hate it when that happens. Good you were able to get it fixed.

[@mstevensn50]

Scooters he is an old school master we need to cherish people like Mark. He has forgotten what most people will ever know about motorcycles.

[@railroad7401]

He is the people I ride with. Always run with guys who know more than you. They are going away fast so absorb that knowledge.

[@rowlinstoned3715]

BTW I totally expect to go to the 1st family get together! Only a breakdown would keep me from it. I'm 320 miles away in Alabama so just a hop skip & a jump from ya. Awesome that u are getting this going. I've been hoping someone would get a meet up & ride for all us like minded 2 wheelers. I look forward to hopefully a big turnout. Stay safe brother and see u soon!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Fingers crossed

[@shujin12345678]

I love how clean and organized his shop is.. Nothing worse than going to a shop to have work done and seeing parts and tools strewn all over the place ...

[@SaddleTrampTV]

For real. Thanks for watching!

[@GixxerFoo]

He did a fantastic job on that fender, the man knows his stuff!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

He sure does!!

[@yankeeryder7430]

im seeing some cool rides in the shop..... one of the best lines ive heard.. "reverse the collision process".... love it...guys like him are a dying breed.... the knowledge and experience inside Mark is simply priceless..... fender looks awesome...!!!!!!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Agree totally, man.

[@MotoBlonde]

That fender looks great!! Looks like he had some cool bikes in his shop too! Enjoyed the video - ps. mirrors looking good!!

[@xltranger98]

He did a great job. It’s hard to find a true craftsman these days. Most just replace body parts instead of fixing them. I like the old school craftsmanship

Wow! Mark is the man!!!!!! Driving mr daisy lol. The missus with a funny one lol. Nice work dude !

You know I love your stuff, I’ve been subscribed since the beginning of your channel, I watch all your videos (surprised this one snuck passed me somehow), however I don’t comment much, because I figure, you get some many comments. And I get the sense that you are an extremely nice guy, that feels compelled to respond to as many comments as possible! But you work full time, you have a wife, making videos, let’s just say, you are very busy. Just know I’m watching, liking, just not always commenting. You are salt of the earth brother 😎👍

After I bought my bike brand new in 94 about a couple of years after that I had accidentally dropped the gas cap on the tank and a chip the paint and I had a couple of scratches on the front fender see he is a tormented me and about a year-and-a-half ago I sent it to the mechanic to have lower Chrome legs put on the bike and I asked him if he could fix those chips on the bike but I did not want it to be repainted and I was so afraid of losing that original color but the guy who did the work mashed it exactly it looks showroom perfect I am a fanatic with this bike it is the same age as my son and I will never get rid of it.
