Freddie Dobbs' Bonneville | THE END OF THE ROAD!

[@Darryl1982]

I don't know what Joe does for a living if it's not KZbin full time but he, and Emily, deserve every recognition in the world and to find someone that talented, dedicated and passionate is rare and it makes for spectacular viewing. Joe and Emily for wheeler dealers.... with bikes.

[@josephchai4401]

The level of collaboration between all of you has made motorcycle history on KZbin. Salute to Jo and Emily.

[@TheWurks]

Thanks Joseph, plenty more to come...

[@anthonycook8090]

Like many, I suppose, I'd never heard of this channel until I followed Freddies bike here. I watched the whole series and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been the best telly on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks guys -x

[@TheWurks]

Wow, thanks! More to come with the Royal Enfield we've got to now consume all our time :)

[@BobberRider]

£1670? That has to be the bargain of the century! Well done to all involved, stunning outcome. 👍

[@TheWurks]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelpina1858]

Looks great!! How about adding a proper front mud guard to keep the new engine clean!!

[@TheWurks]

That decisions down to Freddies preference now.

[@mattgreene01]

I must be reading this wrong: so it only added up to nearly £1700 in cost of labour? A whole spick-and-span nut and bolt rebuild? That’s an insane value for money considering this is now virtually a brand new bike. Incredible work!

[@TheWurks]

Hi Matt, no £1700 ish was parts. We worked 53 or so hours on it. There was no labour charged!

[@ianseddon9347]

Supreme video - Emily you’re a genius!

[@sussexbikerpillion]

Great job Joe & Emily. What are you guys going to do now! 😂

[@TheWurks]

We already have a Royal Enfield 350 Bullet and a Honda CB250RS to build with plenty more in the pipe line. It never stops here.

[@silverfoxracing1124]

Strange to think that I watched Joe and Emily’s first video with the Triumph out of nosiness and now they run one of my favourite channels on the whole of KZbin. It’s not just the bikes, it’s the fact they seem like genuinely lovely people - I’ve got my Wurks sticker on helmet proudly and can’t wait to see the next project…and the inevitable growth of the channel. Have a well earned rest - looking forward to more 👍🏼 Chris

[@TheWurks]

Thanks Chris, no real break here. We've cleared out the workshop and already have the next project on the go...

[@Thunderbolt6fifty]

Nice people doing nice things and sharing their knowledge and mutual calm respect, (without calling each other “mate” ), is hugely appealing and motivating, well done boys and girls, well done.

[@TheWurks]

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking time to comment. We massively appreciate the support!

[@Alancclive]

Jo and Emily , I have watched both of you restore Freddie’s bike from start to finish. I have been so impressed with Jo’s skill and knowledge throughout, not to mention Emily’s knowledge and input also, well done both of you. I sincerely hope that Freddie will appreciate and look after the bike as it now deserves. Well done to both of you. PS I’m now a subscriber and watch all you produce 👍👍

Absolutely a stellar job. Right from the outset it was clear the mammoth task in front of you. Emily adding to the joy of watching the weekly vlogs.

I’m sure Freddie knows how lucky he is to have a bloke like you in the picture Joe, bloody fine work. I hope you have to start turning down work for being inundated with requests from people to work the same magic on their bikes!

[@kevinpick194]

Like so many others, just got to say Joe and Emily have been a super team and to see your Bonneville emerge again as a bike for life.... totally kudos. You were lucky to find him. Great job.

[@TheWurks]

Thanks for that!

[@nickaxe771]

So glad I got up early to ride down to tamworth from near liverpool on my watercooled T100.....quite chilly day to start out.....M6 was quite.....but I made it in 1.5 hrs......quite a ride for me at 71.....but so worth it. The Bonnie was there outside undercovers....I saw all 3 of you and exchanged a few words with all 3 of you.....even got some Wurks Stickers from Emily.....gee she looked so cool in her vintage outfit. Thank you Joe and Emily for sharing the whole experience of re-building Freddies bike. FANTASTIC JOB.

[@TheWurks]

Incredible Nick, Thank you so much for making that huge effort to see us on the day. Was great to catch you. Ride safe and hopefully see you out there sometime. Stick around we have plenty in the making too.

Absolutely fantastic ❤

Brilliant achievement Joe & Emily + Neil's final detailing. The tank badges really work with a nod to the early 1950s styling bars like on my '54 Thunderbird .Freddie owes a huge debt of gratitude to you with your offer to take the Bonnie on !.

[@stoatsngroatsuk5012]

I’ve never met either of you, and I own a Suzuki, but this has been a really enjoyable few months watching the repair. Thanks Joe, for your human kindness. Should I buy a Triumph though…. Are they this good? 😀🙏 best of luck to you for whatever you do in life!

I'm Triumph through and through. With a little love they are fantastic bikes. I think its testament this one suffered everything it did and we still managed to bring it back.

Freddie has golden orbs. Best life, gorgeous girl, best bike and very very best mechanical engineer and friend.

[@Grumpy-Goblin]

Joe & Emily you guys knocked it out of the park for Freddie as I knew you would. The bike looks fantastic without losing its character. I was hoping to make the unveil but sadly life gets in the way sometimes. I think Freddie got more than he could have ever hoped for. Well done for saving this bike.

Joe and Emily….. you took a bike that had, as they say, had been ridden hard and put up wet…many times. And, totally transformed it into a bike that is far better than when it was new. Outstanding does not quite cover it. Enjoyed each and every one of your videos. Look forward to what’s in the future for you both. Thank you for a very enjoyable journey. One more thing….don’t let Freddie change the pipes.

[@andrewf1326]

Well, what a triumph. Emily and Joe, it has been such a pleasure to listen, learn and watch this handcrafted transformation. It is such a credit to you. Monika no doubt knows Freddie better than anyone, but in those last few minutes of this video, I do believe I witnessed our old Freddie return. A beautifully put together video of two friends reunited. Thank you again, and of course everyone behind the scenes, for sharing this unique journey. Cheers...

Full marks to Joe and his crew for a really Top-Line job. The "Freddy Dobbs Triumph" series however also serves to focus on other,more mainstream Motorcycle Shops,who for whatever reason could not,or would not diagnose and repair Freddy's machine. Good Motorcycle Mechanics are a fast disappearing species. Hopefully The Wurks can take on an enthusiastic apprentice on the back of this ! 🙂

We have a Royal Enfield 350 Bullet with a very special story to rebuild and now Emily's Honda project.

[@peterberesford-l3s]

thanks for all the feedback. Great to get people talking. My comment was really about motorbikes and working on them rather than ownership or influencers. Im fortunate to have an old ex WD BSA M20 and in those days you didn't look after your bike, you were likely to be broken down with a lot of aggro around you. A bit like our roads today!!! All best all.

[@TheWurks]

ahhh the BSA M20 is a fine machine! Certainly a free education on vehicles of that vintage, especially if you want to use them rather than just look at them!

[@neilurquhart8622]

I still can’t believe that all the outstanding work done on Freddie’s bike only took 52 hours….simply outstanding

[@Jagshemasher]

You did a fantastic job on the rebuild but the detailing really makes the whole thing pop. Really enjoyed this whole series - great job . . . . in an era of disposable everything it is great to seem a bike that was effectively going to be written off being given a whole new life.

[@TheWurks]

Thanks for your kind words pal!

I'm ecstatic about the end of this adventure, it was so infectious that now there's an emptiness... What's the next challenge? We're waiting... Thanks Joe and Emily, we'll be here to follow. 😁✌️

[@TheWurks]

Good question! We have a Royal Enfield 350 Bullet with quite the story and pretty in depth build planned.

[@marcverdi665]

Incredible job, Joe and Emily! I have been following Freddie since his very first video, and as much as I want him to get a Speedmaster…my current bike… :-)…seeing Freddie so despondent and about to scrap the Bonneville was quite sad. The fact that Joe contacted Freddie and was able to bring it back to life and then Neil detailing it and bringing it back to showroom condition aesthetically while you and Emily brought it back to new mechanically, it is amazing. I have to say, though, I am shocked by the “final tally.” About 1700 pounds? Is that Joe’s labor only, at a discounted rate? I would imagine it would be 7 to 10 times that amount. I cannot get an annual service from a US Triumph dealer for much less than $500! I would love to see more detail about the cost. Cheers!

[@TheWurks]

Hi Marc, the costing was the cover of parts. We didn't charge for labour.

What an incredible adventure this has been! First, watching Freddie on his channel suffer with the problems he was having as the bike was running worse and worse...and then switching over here to **your** channel, Joe, to watch the transformation. It's been an awesome coming together - more than just a "collab" as the kids say. I don't know what the monetary arrangements were, and frankly they're none of our business. But Joe, Freddie owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude for all of the time and energy and parts and blood, sweat and tears that you and Emily have put into this project. We, the viewers do too. It has been endlessly entertaining. And it's funny...in a way, I'm kind of sad that it's over. It really turned out brilliant, and you can be proud of the (finally!) finished product. Great job!
