  • I would watch the hell out of a video series of you restoring this Bike back to the way it was when your Dad sold it. I think a lot of us would.
  • @ConConReeves
    CRAIG!! So happy to see this channel up and running my brother! This is awesome. Sad to see that Sean moved away, but, glad and excited to see what the future holds not only for you with this channel, but also, for you two with Bikes and Beards.
  • @SonsOfJupiter
    As much as we owe Sean for bringing you to us, I am so happy to see you making your own content now. I have always been extremely fond of your kind, intelligent, and fun style. Seeing you really flex some mechanical skills makes for awesome content. I'm looking forward to more!

    So cool to see the old iron come to life again. The fact that you have a personal connection to it makes it that much cooler. Would love to see it when you get her done.
  • Craig is like the vice grip garage of motorcycles and I absolutely love it!
  • @michaelhoward142
    The only thing better than watching an old motorcycle being brought back to life is watching it being done by someone who has a personal connection to it. Love this and hope to see more of this bike's resurrection. 👍🥰
  • @cfltitan
    Such a great story Craig! So glad you were able to find your dad’s old bike.

    The smile on your face when that first fired up reminds me why we all do this. Cars or bikes, doesn't matter, it's all about the love. Congratulations on the channel, can't wait for more 🇭🇲😊

    I love the show. For a mechanic its really dumb not to top off the oil. I enjoyed watching. Thanks.
  • @iamtherealevil
    So glad you are on your own!! Way better to watch! Tip: Pour a bit of oil in each spark plug hole before you turn it over the first time. You might have scored the piston walls. Also if all the oil is in the crankcase you should have drained some out before turning it over to not overpressurize the oil pump.

    Welcome to your own channel, mate! I'm an Irishman living in Germany and a huge fan of you and Sean. Good luck in this new venture, which I'm confident will be a huge success! Peace, brother!
  • @johnflorey847
    Just have to say, even though the team is in different states, I’m so glad you have your own channel Craig! This video hits home for me, so glad you got your Dads bike back! Keep up the great work! Love the videos!
  • @imsurly7742
    This is one of the best videos I've seen. The fact that its your dad's old bike, the fact you got this bike running and riding, was amazing! Thank you sir
  • @traveller4790
    I normally don't watch videos this long especially when they are about recovering/restoring bikes like this without fast forwarding through them, but I have to say that this one intrigued me from the start. I ended up watching it in its entirety, and I found myself grinning when you got the bike running! SO glad you were able to find and buy your dad's bike! If you don't mind my suggestion, what I would do now is restore it to how it looked when your dad owned it, or as close to it as you can get. Please keep us updated on your progress!
  • Super excited to see a channel more about the mechanical side of things! keep it up craig!
  • Please don’t ever change. You are my favorite YouTube personality. I admire how humble you are despite being an absolute wizard with motorcycles. So glad you took the leap on your own channel.
  • @bigpaul3320
    Glad you've started your own channel wish you all the best from the UK 🇬🇧

    As much as we all hated AMF owning HD, they saved the company by retooling. Then Willy G and all those others buying it back made HD what it is today.
