Starting a new chapter Building up my Motorcycle Workshop

[@Spuki2k]

I really suggest getting a 30-40 liter oil-less aircompressor. You can often find them second hand for quite cheap. This combined with a LVLP spray gun is more than enough for painting bike parts. And for cleaning they're just a complete game changer.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Having enough space is very important to work with passion. You did a great job. I hope that you will easily solve the FZR issues. Waiting for the next video of this kind. Cheers.

I put a bunch of magnetic strips on the walls of my garage, they are awesome. You can basically stick most metal stuff on them.

[@alan_2056]

Those are great for the front edge of shelves as well.

For the FZR : check also the ignition switch, sometimes they wear out of, due to water exposure they corrode and you get no power distribution it's a pain... For the lighting: switch to the LED projectors it pays off in time as they use less power and they don't give off that much heat. As I am just building my garage I'm thinking of installing als led lighting to avoid the annoying fluorescent light flickering. Best wishes from Romania, long term subscriber!

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thanks for the tip

[@zebstime9668]

Great job and excited to see whats next Sir! IMO I say keep the RE stock and use the money for restoring the classic super sport.

[@FreeMilesMC]

I definitly want to restore the Classic supersport

[@BGdaredevil]

Great work! If the landlord allows for it you could mount shelves on the wall above the worktable to store various sprays, common wrenches, allens and toxes. That wooden bed frame looks like a good candidate :). On another note I'm actually supprised that you found all tools from the red box :). for lighting there are really inexpensive led rolls, also there are relatively cheap led projectors similar to the halogen monster you got. Ina nay case many good things started in a garage so keep it up :)

[@alan_2056]

Do you have manuals and a screen larger than your phone to view them on? Paper manuals are also cheap for vintage bikes. Keep an eye out for ideas that will save precious shop space. A lift table is a very good idea, with your stature your back will thank you. Also remember to buy extra 10mm sockets, they go missing first. Are you able to erect a partition of plastic sheeting between the two sides of the garage? This will help reduce the area you are heating. You are entering a wonderful time in your biker life, congratulations!

Stick with the scrambler setup

[@FreeMilesMC]

It’s quite a good one☺️

[@Derpderpson123]

This reminds me to clean my garage lol

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thats always a good reminder

[@MrMramish]

I had to reboild a T4 Camper and work on my Himalayan. You can do it^^.

[@FreeMilesMC]

A hymalayan sounds like a very fun project bike ☺️

[@Zetickus]

Can't believe how far you've come since I first started following along. Congrats man :-)

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thank you for all the support and thank you for pointing that out it’s somtimes lost in the process of everything ☺️

[@SherKhan-b1kes]

It‘s worth considering working on the one carb of your Honda XL500 before attempting a bank of four carbs from the Fzr1000. That‘ll be an easy introduction for learning and familiarising yourself on the internals.

[@DrCRAZYde]

Du machst das schon. Ich hoffe, dass ich diesen Sommer jemanden finde der meinen Satelis (Roller) reparieren kann.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Ich wollte auch irgendwann ein Roller Projekt machen☺️

[@VieuxMotardQueJamais]

Hello Miles, happy new year and congratulations on this new project that I will follow closely like the incredible road trip.As the owner of a Diversion, I hope you will still make videos with yours. Greetings from France.

[@Jake-si9ih]

Not related to this vid but wanted to let you know that your channel is gaining traction fast. I use a pc that resets all history each day and within 2-3 videos watched, im getting you recommended. Mostly touring or retro bike related vids.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Actually thank you for This Feedback because it’s good to know that the people that are subscribed actually get to See the videos

[@ianvanbussel3290]

Miles I really admire the mental you have on things. What I mean by that is that a lot of ppl, (including me) most of the time only see three on the roads instead of solutions (we use this reference in the Netherlands I hope you understand what I mean). You just act up and do it no matter the things you have to sacrifice. Can't afford rental in home town? Okay fine I'll drive an hour so I can make it work. Man maybe I keep repeating myself but big respect. Hope you had great holidays. *IMO the royal enfield looks great with the scrambler look, keep it!

[@BelgianDoomer]

'Miles Garage' i like it

[@Bald_Fat_Igor]

Good luck man. Nice to see channel and projects growing. Just dont end up like Donut or other sold out channels.

[@FreeMilesMC]

@@Bald_Fat_Igor definitely won’t don’t worry. The problem with Donut Media and so on is that they got bought by private equity firms. I think I am save from that 😂😂😂

[@RollWithSoul317]

Honestly, shit happens to off the showroom floor, brand new bikes! So I’m sure that after you do the diagnostics you will find the problem and solution! Hopefully it’s nothing major. Also, building your own workshop is a fantastic idea! It can be a bit costly getting all the tools you will need, but it’s well worth the investment in the long run! I personally like the Scrambler setup you currently have because of the various types of terrain you ride on! Awesome. 😎🏍️💨✌️

[@FreeMilesMC]

Yes the scrambler setup is really great and I hope you are right that it is a simple issue ☺️

[@mrzclips]

Wish you the best for your workshop. 1h commute seems awful but you have to work with something! I am in a Similar Situation but my garage is next to me...Moving next year and doing a longer trip starting june, you inspire people! Maybe you can review my bike Next Year, depends on which i keep😅 LG Mark

[@FreeMilesMC]

Definitly feel free to send me an email about it ☺️

[@DerSpeggn]

Happy to see you started to get your garage in shape. I really hope you find the electrical fault with your FZR quick. Hope its just a fuse. And I really envy the fact that you have elecctricity in your garage. Wish I had it as well. As soon as it's dark, its torchlight or go home for me...

[@FreeMilesMC]

Luckely the days are getting longer again☺️

[@RollWithSoul317]

Congratulations on the 16k subs!!! Also, the T-Shirt I received from your merch collection is AWESOME!!! 😎🏍️💨🇺🇸✌️

[@FreeMilesMC]

So cool to hear that you got a shirt. You are one of the first few ones that have bought one thanks for the support. And so happy to still have reached 16k befor the year change

[@RollWithSoul317]

@@FreeMilesMC You’re welcome. It’s 25 degrees Fahrenheit here, so I have the sweatshirt from your merch on order!!! 😎✌️

[@timrush8407]

Keep it scrambler

[@Petrosbiker]

For me FZR Yamaha the most beautiful 😍❤️

[@andrewmartin2859]

Cool video update. Been following for a while. What video editing software do you use? Do you film with your phone?

[@BelgianDoomer]

are your motorcycles on a trickle charger for the battery when they are in winter storage? coulds be the battery

[@StromerYoutube]

Hol dir doch für 10€ eine 18W LED Röhre vom OBI. Art. Nr: 1889799 Hab 2 Stück davon in der Garage(ca. 1,5 mal so groß wie deine) und zum Schrauben reicht das idr aus. Wenns punktuell mehr Licht braucht hab ich noch eine kleine LED Akku Lampe. Für diese Fassung gibts auch eine "Upgrade" LED Röhre die nochmal etwa 30% mehr Licht raushaut.
