Do it yourself, 947 times

Yama Azim, a self-taught motorcycle builder based in San Francisco's Bayview, unveils his journey with 947 Works, previously known as Mazi Moto. He emphasizes the significance of spirituality, community, and the honor of crafting motorcycles in a city with a profound history of choppers and custom bikes. Despite battling depression, social media's comparison pressures, and the escalating cost of living affecting his business, Yama's optimism and congeniality shine through. He discusses how motorcycles deepen his appreciation for the world's divine aspects and the essence of humanity. I'm grateful for the privilege to share his story.

This channel has become one of my favorites. This is authentic and real. Cool unique stories and I love being in the shop….

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

Thanks for this comment, it means a lot my friend

[@pastorbobncc365]

I'm 70 and still ride my original 1974 Ironhead.

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

Right on! Iron heads forever!

[@obiobiwan9268]

Now I understand why you and Blue are on a different bike every video. Build it, ride it, sell it, repeat. You guys have revived me. I was just sitting around waiting to die when I started watching videos of people building older scooters. After telling myself "I can do that", I've decided "I'm gonna do that". thanks

[@MASVINN62]

My breakfast this morning was very delicious after seeing this

[@leonidassolomou4051]

Old heads?!😂 60 years old and still riding my softail "skinny" bike 😅... Thanks for inspiring this "old head" to keep riding 🎉 44 years and still riding ❤

[@CliffordGraham]

Yama has the best most positive attitude. Aloha.

[@oliverkelly2513]

Always a treat when a new part to this series gets uploaded 🙏

[@obiobiwan9268]

It's refreshing seeing youngsters stepping into this wild world of motorcycle building/riding/customizing. It's a lost art and this will create a life others can't even imagine. Keep on keepin' on.

[@maximilianoxromero]

This is what it’s about like he said keeping it ice and I think that goes for any love of anything in general, great work as always compa 🔥

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

Yes compadre! This is beyond motorcycles, it’s human!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Love watching that guy's channel. Wish there was a community like that where I live.

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

After we did this episode I was prepared to move over there. So nice to see your comment here after being a fan of your channel. I love the sportster videos!

[@JestesZBoczkiem]

I love the quality of this materials

[@sleethmitchell]

it's different now. we all inherit a hierarchy of 'coolness'. but coolness wasn't really provided socially when i started. i had a friend who cobbled together minibikes in the mid 60s. sure, why not? nobody WANTED indians or knuckleheads, or panheads. not in boston. i bought an indian for a hundred and fifty bucks. it just wasn't a 'thing' back then. no one looked down on any american bike. anything you got was cool as hell.

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

For starters, I agree. Any bike you have or out together is cool and FUN! But man, I certainly wish I could find a knuckle or an Indian for a hundred and fifty dollars

[@user-bw2bu9ue3p]

947 Works, 947 Times, 9:47 long video. Awesome video

[@obiobiwan9268]

just noticed the length of the video, great observation on your part.

[@andyupsidedown]

Very nice videos man, I just binged em all. Found you on the reel riders podcast and really like what you're doing

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

Thank you Andy, that means a ton. Episode 5 coming up very, very soon.

[@user-bi1ki7pu4n]

7:15 Loved that engine startup ! 💨

[@sucramc]

I really appreciated the perspective that was brought up about the guys at the big shows being 10 years older than you with 20+ more years of experience. That’s where I’m at in life, and often times it feels like achieving their level of successes is unfathomable. It’s nice to hear I’m not alone in my thoughts.

[@myburnerphone]

I just picked up a shirt!

[@jonahtunget6144]

Doing it yourself is always so rewarding. Love the process

[@ambrot724]

Loving this content keep it coming!!

[@flightis3dollars]

Food for the soul. Thanks.

[@jessicafreund1043]

Always excited when a new episode drops. Keep 'em coming! 🔥

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

Thanks Jess! ❤️‍🔥

[@craigleeofficial]

[@TheMotorcycleArchives]

I couldn’t agree more. My grandpa always said, “little by little.” Thanks for your comment!
