If anyone has ever felt like they've neglected their bike or left a little maintenance before a trip a bit late, watch this and feel better about yourself
A video proving the power of Honda too, expected half of those bolts to snap.
First couple of mins I thought it was just another hipster bike, but then what he's used the bike for and the sheer Heath Robinson A-Team style repair/fixes/rebuild Need a luggage rack? Make one out of some spare pipe via a Fire extinguisher tack welded to a work bench, need an exhaust, more pipe Great video, worth a watch, I really enjoyed it.

I watched that a while back (his channel is excellent) and changed my mind about whether old cars and bikes should be exempt from a mot. I admire his drive to get it back on the road but what a piece of dangerous shite.

Same here! Given his skill level, you'd think he'd know better too!

Great video, proper engineering - hit it with a big hammer, then the welding torch…

If it goes and stops.....?

Loved watching that.

Brought back memories of fixing/bodging my CX when I was despatching, especially the rusty swinging arm, I wondered why the bike was wobbling more than usual. Off to Chasbikes in Greenwich, £5.00 including a pair of reasonable Hagons, then round to Allbikes and changed it outside on the kerb with borrowed tools.

I think that you're doing a disservice to proper engineers.
