These lycra roadhogs are the cyclists that should have to have rego & numberplates. And they never check behind them to see if traffic has banked up.
Who recorded this? You or them? Did you have to pay for this video?
@@samuelminamioka5393 the cars had cameras in and I had to pay for the footage that they gave me on a memory stick IIRC
@@Gruffaloscoot thanks!
@@samuelminamioka5393 welcome
They think they’re riding in the Tour de France. Selfish gits - wouldn’t stop for a moment to help one.
Proof cyclists shouldn't be allowed on main roads. All they do is hold everything up, and prove some people shouldn't wear lycra.
The more of your 'resto' vids I watch, the more I need a 'resto' project too 🙂 Not sure about the ASMR tag though 🤣
@@TheDervMan ahhh the UA-cam algorithm loves and ASMR video. 😂😂😂😂
Real life Dr Dolittle 🦅- fair play for looking after it
@@NoTanGringo dr do as little as possible usually 👍🏻👍🏻
Percussive maintenance at its finest - Love it
@@fliesonthevisor don’t think this bike had seen an oil can in a while
In the next episode, we take a day trip on the mighty ZZR to the seaside and launch those fucking circlip pliers into the ocean 😂😂
@@Lacebylad they are amazingly shit.
This warmed my heart and made me laugh, well done , just as you are about to give up on people you see this. Thank you !
@@PNH63 he was a great little fellow
Your a beast man I learned from you now I'm drunk
Get more than 3 mamils together and they think they're in le tour de France 😅😅
Good man most wouldn't of bothered themselves
@@caspian40 he was such a beautiful bird. Couldn’t not help him.
@@Gruffaloscoot they always amaze me we have a very healthy population up here in Rendlesham Suffolk lovely creatures for sure nice that that one got a second chance thanks to you.
In this evil world we live in.its so nice too see this man do the right thing,helping wildlife.heart of gold.thnx tor sharing
@@andysheppard8346 thanks. Poor buzzard
She faired a hell of a lot better than the pigeon the hit me 🤢

Hi great vid do they strap your bike down or do you do it
@@blowduke they do it. It’s a bit of rope goes around your footrest brake pedal and then over the seat and gets lashed to the boat. Looks gash. But it works. Have seen people take old back protectors to protect their seats etc. you undo them yourself on way out.
Hey man, was wondering how long it takes to get the engine out and out a new one in, mine is screwed and replacing it seems much cheaper. How much really needs to come off.. talking fairing electronics etc.
@@bve7397 engine out is a big job.but not difficult just keep undoing stuff that is attached to it. Exhaust Radiator Fairings Carbs Etc Easy enough unless any bolts are seized up. Before you commit check the engine mounting bolts all spin freely. Reckon you can do it in a day easy it all goes to plan.
@@Gruffaloscoot How would I check that withour making them lose? The mounting points look fine, only the exhausts are rusted up.. Im still gonna do it tho otherwise the bike is worth nothing, so for €100 il do it ig and hopefilly sell it.
@@bve7397 the nuts will come loose easy. It’s the through bolts that’ll be seized in. If they are loose great, do them up again until you are ready. If they are seized you know you’ll have a fight. Check my CB500 seized bolt video. To see what you “might” be up against
@@Gruffaloscoot Ah just seen the video.. 😅 that will be the first thing il check, looks tough. Hopefully I got myself a easy job on hands.. 🙏
@@bve7397 fingers crossed
My experience as a van driver motorbikes are in and out of traffic like their house is on fire, could hear his anger in his voice, apparently the cyclist has the rights to do this mr motorcycle man you don't 😅
@@rob20452 I know.
In the main a selfish bunch
Ahh coming along nicely now. Good stuff.
@@ianskeldon6032 yep brakes rebuilt today and started on the plastics.
That road surface is in a very poor condition 😮
@@mral3694 that’s just how they are these days.
True brit We salute you sir 🫡
@@GeXonDeXOfficial thanks
Back in the day when i was young, the rule was to go single file if something came up behind cyclists..
good on you!
Is that 5litres of fuel on the shelf...or is it cider😊
@@jonjones1290 THAT is proper Somerset scrumpy. So both.
Love the build
@@jonjones1290 cheers brother
Copper slip......less is more......😊
@@jonjones1290 more is messy
thats the problem with rspca and pdsa they always put them down, i always go to private exotic vets where they fix them,yes it costs but such majestic animals that well frankly you hit should be cared for properly
@@philoffhistree6700 I’m still sad about it
No worries mate, yeah much easier doing it that way 😁👌
@@SuggyRacing I’ve loved watching your CB500 build series. Top notch work.
@@Gruffaloscoot Thank you, appreciate the nice words. Yeah I have too much time on my hands, clearly 😂
looking good . i find plumbers ptfe tape good on bolts where you dont want the mess from copper slip
@@simonrawle7885 good idea 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻
That looks very nice, good paint job 👌🏻
@@TheDervMan cheers DervMan. It’s amazing the results you can get with using soft focus and low definition cameras 😂😂😂
@@Gruffaloscoot 🤣
I've just done a set of Tokico 4 pots on the ZZR. I cut the end off a new tyre valve and then screwed the upper part (with the valve) into the banjo hole. As the valve is rubber coated it seals lovely. You can then pop them out using a footpump or tiny 12v compressor. Worked a treat.
@@iamthefatstig Top Tip 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done mate, great to see you looked after kez so well, nice watch mate , big like from me 👍👏
@@Drone.vision thank you
@@Gruffaloscoot absolute pleasure mate, really enjoyed the watch , great little video that 🙂
Hat of to you sir your top man
I'm worn out after watching that, glad you got it out in the end though.
@@ianskeldon6032 was a tricky one
Not another pin 😂
@@elegantinfusions it’s relentless
@@Gruffaloscoot 😂😂😂 you shouldn’t of had that 3rd gin
Respect to you sir what a true gentleman
love the sudden realisation that you cant use the clutch to stop with a bird of prey in your left hand haha
@@impguardwarhamer I’ve never practiced holding a bird of prey on the bike before. Made me think a bit 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
My wife as a passenger always has bottles of water in the car. When assholes like this hold us up. She make a small hole in the bottle and kindly cools em down when we eventually overtake. bless her!
Good man
Lovely human being.
@@travellingtom6091 thanks.
A rich seam of double entendres to be mined and yet educational.😃
@@fliesonthevisor I’m not usually a fan of double entendres. But I do like to slip one in occasionally.
The people driving in the opposite direction saw a man taking his kestrel for a Sunday drive.
Any link to the tool you used please?
@@ianskeldon6032 eBay special. Look for hot stapler plastic repair
@@Gruffaloscoot Thanks Neil.
Up and down the length of the UK you find selfish tossers like this intentionally obstructing the flow of traffic they don’t take care of their own safety and will whine if any of them are hurt in a road accident.
One lucky buzzard gets a lift on a bike with an empty pannier and who's rider knows bird trauma and the way to the nearest wildlife hospital. Fantastic! Do let us know what the outcome was, Neil.
@@paulroberts2690 alas. Not good. Full details in description
No, they do that because they are a bunch of total A Holes!!
You failed man there must have been at least one hundred points there.
Nice fiddle tune for calm nerves when things are not working as planed. 🎶
Buzzard.
