    Come to work on a Saturday and boom, this lands in my You Tube viewing feed, doesn't get much better than that. Banging looking bike TMF and combining the retro old bike with new LED's and that back light seamlessly wraps around that seat is a sweet design touch. Very minimalist but effective design. Now back to watching yours and Mr Vidas Euro trips via The Pico's and your Slovenia trips.

  • @Donkeys_Adventure

    Does certainly look better this time round than the first, now to get out and enjoy it 🏍👍
    One minor criticism is the seat, the covering doesn’t look to be fitted to well, almost looks to big for the seat and makes the TMF logo look like it’s not straight, and with the TMF on the seat then on the number plate looks a little odd, think it would of been better with the bike image from the TMF logo on the seat.

    Looks great! Love the lights and rear fender. Concerning the TMF on the seat it might be hard to find the right accent color so maybe a complementary color to the seat would work; like chestnut. Black also seems like a good option. Perhaps you can throw an image of the bike in to an editing program and change the color to see how it would look.

    Morning Mr. Flyer! The front three-quarter view (at around 7:00) is particularly impressive. The embroidered seat stitching looks fine. In the “fashion segment”, the edge of the “F”, which is just in view doesn’t appear to be a vastly different shade to the gold lettering on the side panels (albeit this is on screen rather than in reality). Live with it as is for a while, is my suggestion, and if you still feel the same in a couple of months, change it then.

    A few years back I started having a virago converted to a scrambler and it was taking forever with very little progress and a heafty upfront payment. I ended up being lucky enough to get refunded, but many more customers weren't that lucky (I've heard of a guy who actually collected his bike a year later it was in parts in multiple boxes). It's easy for bike shops to take deposits, but it takes time to build them. The high end very professional shops will usually charge more than the bike will ever be worth, and the more affordable ones, well you risk ending up with an unfinished bike.
    I like how your RE turned out and glad you finally get to ride it. The seat could be improved but once you're sitting on it, you don't see it anymore :)
    Enjoy and keep it shiny side up!

    The exhausts still look dreadful and no they don’t sound any different to how it did before, when you didn’t like them. The front indicators on the handlebars are quite frankly daft and would be hardly visible to anyone coming head on. The location of the clutch lever in relation to the grip looks out of place (too far away) and the lettering on the rear of the seat is orange not gold.
    But you know the biggest annoyance with all this is you referring to your viewers as Kids!! I suspect the vast majority are adults and would find this comment as just plain stupid. Secondly what an expensive exercise in chequebook bike modifications, most likely paid by your viewers and what did you actually achieve asides a whole lot of grief and money spent on what is a pretty ordinary bike. It’s yours and i am sure you will enjoy it, good for you, but really ??

    The seat is bad. New upholstery guy needed. Too much black-out that looks like it was done with a can of rattle paint. I like the green paint but the seat and the black parts just make it look cheap. Sorry

    Seat is terrible and it don't follow the line of the frame and looks wonky from the rear, the clocks need to go for more minimal set up, the powder coated rims and hubs look terrible considering there's plenty of companies out there that could of anodized them in a real nice gold , the rear shocks look like Chinese knock offs after being powder coated and if you was going for a scrambler look the swing arm should be longer and it sounds terrible nothing like a twin ... but each to their own and I hope you didn't pay much for the work that's Been done as there's about 2-3 weeks worth of effort to do the work on that bike and if it's owing you 15k you mental 😂👍

    Great to see this whole thing has been sorted out. I was very grateful to catch this video with the conclusion by the time I punched into the whole drama a year later. You seem like an absolutely stand up guy so I'm grateful the whole thing worked out as far as the bike goes. I wanted to pop by and drop a word or two on just how attractive a motorcycle you have, regardless the headache. From my vantage point now seeing her in her final form you were spot on with the choices. Glad to see you stayed with the in handle turning signals they are clean and REALLY sharpen that front end up nicely. Rear indicators are AMAZING. Honestly I didn't have the vision for the bike the way you did. But once I've seen them finished you were spot on. As a fellow motorcycle enthusiast I'm happy to have found your channel. New Sub here.

  • @gerryjamesedwards1227
    @gerryjamesedwards1227 2 роки тому

    If you haven't changed the lettering on the seat yet I have an idea for how you could make them actual gold - gold leaf. You would only need a couple of sheets and it's easier to apply than most people think. You paint over the lettering with 'size', let it dry to the point where it has no moisture left but is still tacky and then use a brush to pick up the leaf and lay it over the letters. a couple of layers would give decent coverage and the leaf will brush away from everywhere that isn't painted with size. It doesn't look like the seat should flex much so a few applications of gun-stock wax should be enough to protect it from the elements - the glue layer will be vulnerable to water otherwise.
