Still drowning in project bikes. I love it!
Check out our shop: thebeardedmech...

Where is this poll for the bike build?

[@The_Bearded_Mechanic]

www.youtube.com/@The_Bearded_Mechanic/community

[@loudoghendrix]

On it! I agree that an American build for you and a UJM for Paul Sr would be perfect!

[@xXProtozoaXx]

@@The_Bearded_Mechanic Done man. Paul's poll is 65% Japanese.

[@whollymindless]

Paul's gonna grab a Vulcan Classic.

[@wyattblessing7078]

Good Samurai impression Camera Guy. You nailed it.

[@robertrenner5896]

This chanel got me back into riding. Bought myself a classic Yamaha SR500 project and enjoying life on another level since then.

[@stonewalljackson9739]

I got to meet Craig the other night at a local fair. Seems like an awesome dude

[@MotoB8]

What fair? I live around the york area, ik that's where srk was

[@2000jago]

The 81 videos on this channel might also be a clue...

[@stonewalljackson9739]

​@@MotoB8I purposely left that out for Craig's privacy.

[@Patrick_Cooper]

Was Greg also there...

[@stonewalljackson9739]

​@@Patrick_CooperI don't believe so

[@johnnyd6373]

I have to admit you guys are the perfect fit, Dan humour and Craig mechanical abilities (Craig you're funny too!) Let's don't forget Greg working in the shadows ! Good job boys !

[@phillipdale6464]

That Samurai is in fantastic condition for its age , love to see it restored.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

ty for this, i'm sitting here in my recliner, watching this, 4 days after having 3 vertebrae in my neck fused, Monday....nice distraction from.....

[@andrewspence8100]

I met Paul senior when he came to the uk,himself and his sons were making a documentary and I got a high five from Paul,seemed like a realy nice crew.

[@ManuelPerez-ip4bb]

Check the resistor caps on the leads before changing coils.A tip from uncle Tony in Tennessee.

[@jimp.7286]

Two stroke Friday! A samurai video is more than fine by me. I love this bike and like others, would love see it restored. Prayers to all those affected by hurricanes. Edit; sorry it didn't start. Don't put it away to collect dust. Cheers.

[@rp7302]

Craig needs a television show “This Ole Bike” with an 80’s montage.

[@billreed9479]

Craig looks like you got more projects than you got tyme for, I LOVE watching Bearded Mechanic Every week buddy, Dan going to have to start wrenching with while filming 🎥 🤣😅😂 great show next week never come suick enough to watch what's next, Aloha til next week.💯🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@azer555]

Is it me, or does the bearded mechanic look like a clean cut version of Mickey Tuttle.. 🤔 😁 Looking forward to the build off! A Gold wing🪽 build! Let's goooo

[@bradleymoy6899]

Dan needs to make an edit of Craig sanding the plates, as a dj for carb tunes! Scratching and mixing!

[@WhoTFstolemyname]

The XR looks great!

[@greghanson5864]

Good luck with the various projects and remember (insert your own personal thoughtful phrase here) and we look forward to next week!

[@johnking7649]

Get that on a T-shirt! Where’s my Boom Whacker?

[@spikemcnock8310]

The saying is " eyes bigger than your belly", at least in the UK it is. Good video 👍🇬🇧

[@paulwaldrop2262]

Craig, how about a Hyabusa Chopper for the build? Don't think that would be safe, but would love to see Sean ride that.

[@Lukers_tinkering]

Check timing from first principles maybe? Spark looked OK... really enjoy your videos!

[@toddfreshour1263]

You could do a Gold wing bobber

[@DUMBERTHANYOUTHINK]

There's a sweet Goldwing longbike that was posted on reddit like last week

[@toddsorel-pg4hr]

Perhaps the olugs are fouled from all the kicking and bad timing. I have often taken a torch to plugs to clean them and pre-heat them and a stubborn bike will fire right up.

[@dmoreland]

Good morning Craig and Dan!

[@jonathan5111]

When you timed it was it 180 out I was fighting with an old RD and realize the points were opening at the bottom dead center and ended up switching the coil wires and it fired right up

[@oldguysrule5895]

Build-off with Paul Sr?? Great? what is it? who can build the most useless bike possible and then con someone into paying big $$$$$$ for it?

[@-ZeroRed-]

Not gonna lie: A little bummed out that you won't complete the Geico-Journey yourself. Was very interesting to see how you tackle all those problems. Good luck on your other projects though!

[@Dundee.]

In future Craig I would have some videos ahead of time recorded to balance things out. Start and finish a project in one series then post it in succession. Have some other vids in-between as one episode episodes. Then the projects once they are completed with filming then let them rip. Everyone would be grateful and if you ever want to take a holiday or need to do things you would have content to post and not worry

[@chadalac1977]

Bro, it sounds like you need to start a KZbin channel!! You've just said exactly what you got to do to be successful.. in a perfect world!. But do it man. Good luck! You're the best!... Meanwhile, I'll continue to watch. Craig, he seems like he's handling it just fine

[@getoffenit7827]

Projects?...BUSA! you're dropping the ball!..

[@maddb3457]

Yamaha VMax chopper !!!! That would be fantastic. Go for a mid 2000s model :)

[@richardbrowne3641]

Tough break on the Suzuki Samuria not starting. The Honda enginge looks like a Moto Guzzi engine. I would like to the O.C.C. Chopper rolling down the road. Good wnough update. A V2 configuration.

[@tommykj2]

I ride a Yamaha roadstar xv1700. Might be an option for a Japanese bike. Blows my mind how many people mistake it for a Harley.

[@nickk6109]

Let's get Paul Snr building a re-vamped Honda Rune, chopper edition...

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

Gees Craig u wanting clean the smoo out of that exhaust pipe. Some acetylene filled exhaust and a quick spark would of blew everything out 🤣🤣🤣

[@xpndblhero5170]

I'd love to see Craig build the Hayabusa for the bike build but instead of the street bike frame he could use a Chopper frame and make it look like a Harley.... That would be hilarious. 😂😂

[@Motorsandstuff]

Great vid again man from new brunswick Canada

[@jenibond]

Would love you to build twin engined bike for the build off !! or use a Snowmobile/SxS engine (as Can-am is American ish) !!!!

[@blockhead3654]

Exhaust. Closed maybe.

[@dustinwendt]

sweet! Ive been waiting! ty!

[@NOGAS420]

I need more of the Honda build 😮

[@kristiansandsmark2048]

Time to ride the samurai!

[@daffhead4975]

If you get europe, you should build a Ducati monster chopper.

[@nateworthman]

You are going to be the goat. Keep it up

[@paulyadams]

Try changing the condenser, i experience the same issue with my Kawasaki G4TR when they fail.

[@mattwebb172]

Only my opinion, but graig, you seem a bit stressed, hopefully it’s just me, but if things are getting a bit to much work load, possibly think about some family holiday time, we all love your videos, and when you got to much on you can start to get fed up with it all, then you won’t enjoy wrenching and we won’t get to see your fantastic helpful videos. Don’t let it all get to much for you have a break you deserve it 100%

[@aaronbritt2025]

So basically, when you get the Ms. Geico back, you and Sean just need to fix the ergonomics and put a seat on it? @10:40... So are we going to get a video of what you did on the XR?

[@ripperjack-yt6116]

I drive a honda nc750x just want to say much love from South Africa

[@jeffsutton6382]

Like to see you build a 750 Honda chopper

[@abazibiz]

Would be fun to see gixxerbrah on the busa after it gets fixed.

[@TorquilBletchleySmythe]

Tried to call Craig. Apparently, he was engaged in battle with an ancient samurai.

[@christopherseivard8925]

Just watching this, I ordered a new Barnett clutch.

[@juliancrooks3031]

You should customize the Hayabusa for the bike build off

[@elsmitro]

👋

[@martinsozols1708]

I am waiting for CX500 build.

[@annsman13]

I wanna see all of you build low rider goldwings

[@Heivang]

Last weeks video was two weeks ago. What happened last Friday Craig? Did you forget or did I skip a week?

[@Modpax]

Another great video

[@MightyMouzMoto]

I would LOVE a CX500! OR a cb1000 custom. Both bikes my dad had.

[@georgiavol1602]

Your bike projects are like my chainsaw projects. Work on this one, get bored, jump to that one, get frustrated, oooo I forgot about this one, nah, need parts, back to the other one, someone asks me to fix one for them should be easy, its not....on and on

[@ShawneeUnion]

Maybe ask BJ to comeback down and help for a few days? He was great

[@cowmath77]

So this is why every time I drop my bike off at the shop, it takes 2.5 months to get something done…

[@garydetaeye7081]

Florida is a little messed-up is Paul ok

[@Andrewdrs2WilliamsonYT]

I voted Japan 🗾 so you'd need to fly there to get a bike and show us there bike scene 😊

[@2MinuteReview]

I'll be Honest, I must have missed the part where Craig said he wanted to do a harley and I voted Japanese bike cause he loves Japanese bikes.

[@seanparkinson376]

I want to buy the samurai running/ riding or not

[@mikeofalltrades6293]

Doin it!

[@anthonyroberts5518]

If you have to build Japanese,go older honda vlx ,they make great bobbers and choppers

[@Fuzzybunny10]

First maybe? Woo

[@chaddog313]

I wanna see that samurai rip

[@cedhome7945]

Please can you rescue the gs1000l before cleetus McFarlane butchers it anymore. You have the power 💪

[@jamesstoveken8431]

When is Craig going to admit that he's gonna be that guy who restores the Samurai 🤣🤣

[@hva-tom]

it's time for a Husqvarna, once you have repaired one, you will always want to repair next Husqvarna :)

[@ajlenvideos]

Craig is back🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

[@markfigueroa1681]

Turn the Busa into a jet ski or snowmobile. Someone took a Tuono and made it a snowmobile it's on KZbin

[@shanehoneycutt177]

Are those old, broken helmets up near the ceiling of your shop? Why are they up there?

[@TimInertiatic]

Was that gearbox oil that was 'rather stinky'. Its absolutely awful smelling 🤣

[@jobertvangool9961]

Burning out carbon from the damper, set the damper at 45 degrees, it sucks fresh air itself…

[@fraud_hunter]

cbx low rider #justsaying

[@goatRydah]

Would you build a hyabusa chopper sport chopper lol

[@AlbertSpeer-jv4xn]

Donate the turbo busa to Gixxer Brah. That would be awesome. and gear it so Brah can hit 200 clean.

[@inlinealex]

its not his its yammynoob's

[@Gobbbbb]

@@inlinealex it was gifted by yammy, Craig now owns it, he even says it in this video if you pay enough attention.

[@drummerdad80]

I gave an American vote

[@jamesduffy1195]

Craig, Please be careful dealing with OCC Paul. He is not to be trusted.

[@MichaelJohnson-ct5vl]

Camera guy name is Dan, lol

[@rev.aux-weg9730]

27:03 Yeah well, im a big Honda Fan, too. If thats what you are missing, just hook me up

[@tiredagain6722]

Why didn't Greg fix it?😮

[@oldgreybeard2507]

Dear Bearded One. You seem to be somewhat tired. Your videos are always packed full. Slow down young man.

[@MrMatto84]

Don't tell Sean but I reckon Craig's Chanel's better haha

[@martinglasser6025]

Xl video? I get confused where your focus is!

[@plotholedetective4166]

Best plan for the busa is the trash can plan... Burning garbage

[@jimharle6217]

Choppers are boring.. build a sleeper.. a busa gold wing perhaps.

[@DaveRidesADyna]

*2 weeks

[@catfishtheoriginal]

Build a honda cbx

[@easysteve1554]

Rad

[@LukeAshton05]

More lyrics bro..

[@daviddobbs4685]

Please get back to the GSX1300R

[@youtubeurevil]

Please no more Paul Sr .... I beg you!!!

[@RP-sk8ij]

Harley ain't American, metric nuts and bolts say it all! Nothing up my sleeve, PRESTO!!

[@rogerrolex6981]

Quit giving Paul Senior a platform his 15 minutes are over and his bikes suck all he can do is yell, scream and name call. What a great guy. NOT!!!!😮

[@AlbertSpeer-jv4xn]

Lost to the anals of time!

[@michi_danksta]

This channel is getting as bad as Ian Roussels. Lots of vids of projects that don't get finished..😂

[@mjd9813]

KZbinrs are helping people in Florida while American gov is busy helping Ukraine and Israel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏

[@plotholedetective4166]

I agree, I'm all for them defending themselves but we got stuff to handle at home and should be taking care of our people instead of theirs. let them fight their own wars while we self focus for a bit and get ourselves back to a being a decent country. I remember being able to buy a pack of smokes a burger and a tank of gas for my bike for ten bucks now any one of those things is ten bucks on its own.

[@xSpecterx99999999]

Yeah FEMA spent all our money putting illegal voters in hotels to throw the election and all future elections.

[@michaelschumacher7986]

🤡

[@damsam4369]

U are deranged. Go suck a trump

[@opuntina]

The government is helping those in Florida too bub. This is a pretty dumb comment.
