Dude that's not failure that's learning
The greatest lesson from this video is your full disclosure (which you always do on your vids), and the continuous increase and display of your character. Really appreciate how you re-build, share the lessons, and keep going despite the short term “failures” which I would refer to as learnings. Your work is appreciated bro. Keep going!
Failure is just experience with a new route to success
I got a few new routes coming up 😂
My bucket of fail shall runneth over.
But think of the others that bucket will fill
I have too much respect for people like you who put stuff out there warts and all. We all fail. Anyone telling you otherwise is a keyboard warrior who forgot their place in life and/or society. Love your channel. Respect the Hell outta you as a person. It's easy to see you're real and not an internet phoney. Your personality and character are why we're all here. 🙌
It’s so rare that any project I tackle goes smoothly all the way through, the little failures and big ones certainly teach me a lot each time though. Very nice perspective!
That fuel line tho. 😂
@@BrandonBicasso Yeeppppp, all good in the hood now thankfully!
BICASSO INDEED!
YOU ARE TRULY AN
ARTIST 🎨
NOT PAINT AND CANVAS
BUSTED MOTORCYCLES INSTEAD!
YOU ARE ONE OF THEM ONES!
PEACE AND BLESSINGS
MY BROTHER
I believe Bill Russell said, "Practice makes perfect, but no one is perfect." ✌️
Nope! Perfection is boring anyway.
If you never fail, you never learn. You're doing great things man, keep it coming.
I'm jealous of all of your experience and growth. Unfortunately I learn best from my failures so I've failed a lot in life.
Most of the younger generations will cringe at the thought of not receiving instant gratification nowadays unfortunately…. On the other hand we have Brandon here to shine his light down the rabbit hole
Coming from a industrial maintenance background for 37 years has taught me a few things.... Yes indeed you can make things perfect, HOWEVER its at what cost you'll always give up something. When I machine surfaces "FLAT" and Square from 70 year old machines I lose material and size but gain in other areas strength and increased tolerances. But even making machine billet wheels they will not come out "Perfect" Always a heavier side when you spin it up.
Didn’t know that about Billet wheels. Interesting!
Irwin Lutzer wrote a book called “Failure: The Backdoor to Success”
✍🏾 got it.
My man, you doing things that Millions of people are afraid to do. Keep it up!
You're valuing things as process, not just static products. The experience of the process of trying, not failing but not getting the results you expected, learning, trying something different is what it's all about. You're describing seeing things as an artist. Life is art. It's great. Keep up the good work.
Refreshing. This is why you’re the man. Absolute total relatability. 💯
I try to be. 🤙🏾😎
@@BrandonBicassoreal recognizes and attracts real! I appreciate you keeping it real✊😎
Well said old friend. I call you old friend because it has been years that I have been following and commenting. Sometimes you respond if nothing more than a heart to a comment. So, like you said, I've seen and learned a lot from you and your failures. You are a credit to the community. Keep 'em coming!
I read them all, though! And I remember names 😎🤙🏾
@@BrandonBicassoand sometimes having the memory of an elephant ain’t always fun, said by a fella who can definitely relate 😅
I love your honesty and you are definitely a humble guy. I think you succeed way more than you fail with these big projects. I did comment on the wheel. I suggested a new wheel. Not because you failed. It was because the repair was a failure from the start. As an old school mechanic and rider of over 40 years. My feeling is when you’re on 2 wheels and you have a bad vibration while riding, due to that wheel. I don’t think the risk is worth it. You never know when that vibration could become worse and at what speed. That could easily turn into an unrecoverable death wobble. I get minimizing expense. But sometimes risk/reward has to be looked at too. I’ve had more failures than I can count. Some cost me big money to fix but in the long run, it was a learning experience and the right move to do it right. I actually preach to my kids their entire lives. You don’t learn from the successes. You learn from the failures. Most importantly, you learn it’s not the end. It’s just picking yourself up and pushing forward.
Failure is a lesson to learn from. Always great watching your videos.
Appreciate you for coming along too. 🤙🏾
Failure is one small step back and one giant leap forward from the education. I should know, I’ve failed a lot! 😅
Carbs are always a failure, and only trial and error fixes them. My arms and hands literally bleed everytime I work on them on a small frame bike! It's how I've learned so much about them.
Oh geez. I’m gonna lose fingers when I encounter one.
@@BrandonBicasso Gentlemen! Don't tell me that you are ignorant of the fundamental rule of motorcycle repair. You MUST always sacrifice some blood to the god of motorcycle repair or the repair will not be successful!
You are incredible and I love that you not only teach but allow us to learn along with you. I am an artist for a living and people want me to video and share my process but I’m too shy to share that with them. I admire your transparency and courage. You are an inspiration!
B you have had many more wins than losses. Keep up the good work!
Brandon keep doing exactly what you're doing, i enjoy watching. 😊
Most def 🥹
I have great respect for you. I have never learned anything from not trying. I have learned a great deal from every time I failed. I started riding in 1965 and stared building motorcycles in the early 70's. you keep going for it, you will learn even more.
As you know about 2014 Indian Chieftains, you cannot install and run LED lights because of the vcm. I thought I can try. So learning about the theory of operation of the lighting system I thought I had figured it out. Trick the system with a resistor and it worked! That is until I was caught in traffic because of an accident. The resistor overheated and blew up! Yes I heard a loud pop and my headlight went out! Luckily enough my running lights were on standby, turned them on and rode home. I'm glad my failure still managed to get me home. Lol!
Yoooo that’s interesting. I would’ve done the same probably 😂 I’m still learning wiring and have popped a few things on some bikes recently. Good thing I didn’t set anything on fire. ☠️
@@BrandonBicassoI still can not use LED so I got the brightest I could get away within the laws. 😅
I feel you Brandon. Had the same experience of failure when I did my new tire video. I looked a fool not being able to do a basic thing like take my wheels off. But I learned and helped others learn from my mistake. Like others have said, There is not failure, their is only learning.
You’ll be fine. We all all have a hard time except to failure in one way or another , I’m excited to see what the finish product of this Indian look like.
If one is not making mistakes, they are not doing anything. You do way better than I could.
Perfection should always be just an arm’s length away; satisfaction lies in the experience gained in reaching for it. Great video.
Ya know who doesn't fail? The guy that never tries.
My dude, my dude, you're forgetting the one rule of going public on anything. If people aren't hating on you, you're not doing it right! Keep crushing it man!
Dude, I ride Harleys, but I love watching you work on Indians. I love seeing you do your thing. Keep doing what you do, because you do it so well...
Like your videos working on motorcycle you’ll have ups and downs but never stop. Have fun with it. I work on shovels and pans that’s crazy.
That’s a whole different breed! One day I’ll go back a bit for some older bikes. I’ve been eyeing a few projects on marketplace recently. I salute you!
@@BrandonBicasso thank you just getting into UA-cam slowly.
No matter the hobby, topic, discussion etc, some people will have negativity. That imo is the worst part about the internet. Keep doing you.
It’s not so much negativity as it is wanting to just replace a situation with new parts/money.
Love watching your videos. You are honest. If you learn something from failing, did you really fail then? Keep up the good work.
Good on you young man.. Experience is something you get while you're doing something else. Keep it up..
Don't think in terms of failure; think in terms of unfinished success.
That’s a new one!
Naked gl1500 project just total bomb lol stripped a 88 gl1500 to make a naked bike. Didnt turn out well and had a loss. It helped me realize that I like lighter bikes.
Brother, I have nothing but respect for you.
For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward. 🎉
Poetic. 🥹
@@BrandonBicasso it's what i do 😉
They may not be perfect but they do have character !!!!
Loads of it.
Keep it up! We love what you’re doing.
Dude fixing bikes and cars costs money, Knowles is priceless. I did the same with my bike and just recently with one of my cars. I also learn from it and when I do need the dealership or auto shop to fix it, they can’t bullshit me and jack up the price. Trust me they have know I will call them out on it. Keep doing what you do and get more knowledge. If you sent everything to the shop you wouldn’t have learned as much as you know now.
No one should be laughing mate. It happens to all of us who work on our vehicles. It's 2 steps forward and sometimes it's one step back. A learning experience
Ohhh I take many steps back but always progress. 🤙🏾
Life is all about knowledge and wisdom brother. Knowledge is knowing what you want in life and wisdom is knowing what you don't want in life. There is no such thing as a mistake unless you already know the outcome but do it anyway. In order to learn we have to do things wrong at least once.
That is not failure that is learning.I was a copier tech tor twenty years and one thing Ive learned along the way is you have seen a problem one hundred times and know the fix,but there is one time that fix will not work!Well you just have to figure out a way to do the job.That's what we do as techs,no matter what the product is.
We learn from failures. When did that become a bad thing? Keep up the good work as I learn from the "failures" that you show us. :)
Definitely not bad! 🤙🏾
There Are No Failures, Only Lessons To Be Learned.
💯
Experience is a terrible teacher and the best teacher, it gives you the test first then teaches you the lesson. As a result you become wise. Failure humbles ones attitude and we are all better for it. Good luck in your quest for wisdom you are doing well my friend.
Nothing is perfect the first time through - it's all a learning experience and working toward improvement. I'm training to prepare for rodeo competitions now and fail all the time. If you're not failing, you're not learning.
@@MotoMastersTraining oh that sounds super exciting!!
@@BrandonBicasso Me and my team are having a blast! And we're becoming much better, more skilled riders in the process.
If failing was not an option, every person would be sitting in their living room putting a pristine bike together!!
The conventional wisdom is, cast wheels can't be repaired, while wire spoke wheels can.
I got an outer piece from a spoked wheel that needed more therapy.
Shoot failure is my middle name. They call me facepalm Freddy 🤦♂️
Facepalm Freddy? Ayo 😂😂
Dude you can only work from the experiences you learn from. Example I had a tire on a car and I curbed it in a snowstorm. Now I got the rim repaired and a new tire and it would have a slow leak for years. I had to get new tire when I curbed it so I assumed it was always the rim. Fast forward to me needing the rear tire on my Rebel 1100 changed out so I need to get new tires for my car to drive to a place to get the bike tire swapped off the rear rim. Turns out the slow leak was from the new tire at the time tire because the bead never set properly. Years of thinking otherwise when really the walmart tire people were just bad at their job lol. Lesson learned. Also I got to learn how not to take a rear tire off a bike because I put that off until I saw threads....lesson learned lol.
Lol oh my goodness. 😅 I think most riders have a wire showing story. The last time I had my oil changed on the car, they didn’t screw my oil filter on tight enough. 🥴 It cost me the same to do it at home so I said why not. Lesson learned when I saw a puddle under the car.
Salute Bradda
I was recently watching an old video of a certain gentleman struggle to change M109 handle bar clamps without a breaker bar, only to discover the stock cables and brake line was too short. Guess who. :P
I remember watching something similar. That fella was handsome.
That is an interesting perspective....about achieving perfection. We as human beings want everything to be perfect. in life though is any of this world perfect? why do we look for it so much?
Is that grey victory Magnum in the background the original orange and black one ya boy wrecked? If so u did a damn good job on it bro looks good.
It is! I’m still working on the videos for it.
I was thinking of splitting my super chief tank up the middle and adding an extra inch of width. She sucks fuel with the High Flow Air Intake and stock cams andnexhaist. 😂 Then id have an excuse to paint it. I love the Blue slate Metallic though. Was thinking of old school bubble gum style lettering that says "Blue Sioux" replacing the Indian name badge. I also thought of adding the warbonnet in place of the name badge. Thoughts?
I rode yesterday and was getting 200 to the tank so 60mpg. 😅 People have split the Scout tank for more width. I’d do it or go easier with the bonnet instead.
@@BrandonBicasso did you see the bikes Roland Sands built and the Ole Stengard/ Ronna Noren build for Motorhead's MIKKEY DEE!?
I want to put a Hart Luck Customs 2 into 1 on but don't know where to buy one locally. I tried doing a crucifix yesterday but the stock exhaust has her riding about 30lbs heavy on the right side which makes a really bad recipe for disaster from a physics perspective. 🤣 I want to get one really good shot sequence performing the crucifix on a closed off road somewhere. I haven't found the road yet. Probably south of the winter frost line.
Thank you
This is another banger, my guy! You already know CDB only exist because of an amalgamation of failures, lol.
The facts of us solo people lol
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement
I got multiple hands worth 🤙🏾😎
I'm not an expert but I am a trained mechanic and getting a cast wheel trued is kinda dangerous, it could cause metal fatigue and that can lead to a failure that you don't want to have (cracked wheel = bad) frames on the other hand just need a jig to check straightness and offsets and some one with the right hydraulic equipment (and maybe some laser alignment)
Very true. Which is why it was sent to someone who’s been doing it for a good while. No cracks. 🤙🏾
I've learned, a majority of youtube commenters are the lowest of the low, and almost all the extremely opinionated ones have blank profiles. And haven't worked on a bike in their life. Keep doing you.
I just need you to figure out how to get your camera to hold focus on you!
Oh yeah, that’s failure too.
👍
If it's aluminum there is structural damage. Understand that aluminum loses structural rigidity when bent or tweaked out. If you straighten an aluminum wheel you're looking for trouble. Replacement is almost mandatory.
@@joel8034 Well aware. There’s far worst repairs being done and still on the road than what I had done. 🤙🏾
@@BrandonBicasso I feel ya. Keep it on twos...unless you like nooners! Rock on!
Dude! You think the tuition to Notre Dame, Alabama or Harvard is expensive? S.H.K.U.(school of hard knocks university) has an on going tuition program that you pay for the rest of your life to get that knowledge (OUCH!). Mistakes are learning experiences not failures (money spent is tuition!). 🤣👍
Click on video to learn more about motorcycles and get a life lesson - thanks mate! Learning in public takes guts but the rewards are there when you “fail” and others step up to help out!
Elon Musk pushes for failure. Thats how learning is done. In the army my higher ups would often put new officers with me to both test the officers and the vehicle limitations to failure.. Ever see a grown man poop his pants in an 18 ton tank? 😂
Brandon,Get your money back,Buy a new wheel if possible or find a more qualified machinist,Good Luck,Spazz in Cali.
Man, I had this bike in the mountains multiple times since. Ian worried about that wheel. 😂😂
Fail fast, fail often this is the road to success!
I have too many things I want to do so gotta try and get it done by any means.
All people riding the
motorcycles are the
‘what me worry’ fail.
If a motorcyclist did
not total failure they
would’ve been drive
recreational vehicle
or sports cars.
Stop being so hard on yourself. It’s not failure it experience for next time. Educated!
