    Great to know that you loved your dad so much, bet he was a great man and it's obvious to see you work on a lot of his old projects and you work in his honor, God Bless you for what you do.

    The sound of a two stroke alone brings me back to my childhood riding around the woods with a Kawasaki KX80. Thanks for the video!

      His Dads shop was well used as you can tell by all the scars on that steel bench. If the walls could talk I bet they'd say what a remarkable man he was. Awesome !

    Great video..
    I was 13, when my Daddy could not get a tire to seat..
    Lived in a small town, very close to you..
    The man in the little tire shop told my Daddy..
    " You might want to put the kid in the car. He should not see this".
    Daddy trusted me.
    Well we learned that either was used in ways, other than starting diesels...
    Saved a lot of future trips to the tire shop... lol
    The good ole days..

    Great content, I loved it when your mom came out to make sure you were okay. Your dad was a special person and taught you a lot about what you do. You are so lucky to have him as a teacher. My dad left when I was two years old and never came back.

    As someone that use to moto only 2 stroke bikes back in the day this content is amazing! Absolutely loved the ridin’ part of the video. Nothing like the sound of an old two smoke!💨

    I raced cross country in Texas for 25 years and now I’m going on 68 so I’ve pretty much quit but I still have my KTM 530 that I just completed gone through it and I’m planning on doing some trail riding this spring but i enjoyed the video and it brought back some great memories.

  • @rypkepaulusma

    If there's one aspect of you videos that keeps coming back, it's that every car, motorcycle, tire or any part seems to be fighting back. I admire your perseverance, keep it up! (and by the way, you're not copying Vice Grip Garage or whatever channel, you're you, and please never change that!).

    When I hear a two stroke of that era I get goosebumps and can smell the exhaust. So many great memories of riding by myself and with friends and my dad. Good to hear about your dad. Bless you and thank you!

  • @leekidwell8795
    @leekidwell8795 2 роки тому +6

    So many things to say here….seems like the older you get the more a man find out, you’re more like your dad than you realize. From your stories about him, we can tell you had a great one. I could hear it in your voice, and I get it cause I lost my dad in 2004. I miss him every single day. Feel the exact same way you do. Your dad lives on through you, and we get to know him, and his sayings, because of you. Tell momma to keep on doing her thing too. I had to listen to that part a few times, that was great. Look forward to the next video!!!

      Well Said indeed, gets me emotional a bit on account I’m going through it now with my Dad @ 80 with failing Health. Thank the Lord each Day He’s still with us, I know my Mom at 82 will likely grieve herself to Death that usually the way it goes. Not looking forward to it but knowing Men like yourselves had gotten through it and the Lord will not put on me more than I can Handle.

    👍What a fantastic video ! As the opening credits rolled I found myself saying, "what kinda trouble is Chad in for this week" . The 3 corner tire- shops refusals were the first indicator that we were in for another wild ride from This N That Garage. I often wondered if you were working out of your fathers garage, and then we heard from dear Momma wanting to know what in the world you were blowing up this time.
    I'm glad you left that in the video, God bless her heart and fathers too. Just another added element of quality content from This N That Garage.
    Augh -Ya ! 😎
    Something dawned on me during the latter portion of the video.
    I feel the curse of the MLS is not a curse at all, and rather the secret weapon to your future success. The shear value in overcoming each and every obstacle is not only a dopamine rush for us viewers at home, but it's an overall victory when you persevere by the end of the video.
    🎤"You battle MLS with a chuckle and a grin, and what's worth doing once is worth doing over again & again & again." 🎤
    Love the smell of a 2 stroke.... The onboard and still camera footage at the end was absolutely wonderful and I'm happy that it brought back some memories of 💯lbs ago.. Thanx Chad Great channel !

The only thing I never liked about 2 strokes is the noise. You can't argue the performance though, flippin' neat stuff. Thank you again for another wondeful hour of top quality entertainment sir :)

    I have so much respect for you my brother!
    My father passed away on Friday the 13th in March 2020. It has been almost 3 years now. I talk to him almost every day.
    I lost my sister in 95' at the age of 29.
    The love never goes away, because like you, me and my father were best friends!
    Those lessons we were taught from a young age carry us around for the rest of our lives, and they are priceless.

    Always good to laugh with you , you never hide your mistakes ,and always show everyone so we don't do the same thing . I always had a tin or jar with nuts bolts and washers left over after a rebuild so I know how it feels ??? . Your Mom came out to see that you were Ok when she thaught you were in trouble , and your Daddy must have been a very special man . Your videos are all clean and wholesome which makes watching them so much fun . God Bless till next time , Stuart in Ontario..........

    Hello again from the UK, I had the pleasure of riding a motorcycle from London Ontario to South Carolina, I remember sitting in a cafe somewhere near the The Tail of the Dragon, we were eating lunch when a couple of local guys joined us, we were all speaking a version of English, it was warm and friendly banter, everyone on trip we met were fantastic and I will always have fond memories of the people we met.
    don't let people try to compare you to other channels, you are unique, no swearing, or inflated ego, and not sponsored up to the eyeballs, please don't change a single thing, your videos are never too long . enjoy the accolades and ignore the fools that criticise you.

My Daddy and I had the same luck as I was growing up, he even bought me a t-shirt that said “Story of my Life” it had a guy on an island by himself and another island across the way with lots of pretty women and sharks swimming in between the islands lol. It was my favourite t-shirt growing up. Anywho don’t change a bit and just ignore the negativity, keep ‘em coming!

  • @kevind5508

    I have MLS as well and I'm not even a part of your family!
    I can't ever just work on something and everything just go good. Doesn't matter what it is.
    Like you I work on a bit of everything.

    The few times I’ve messed with atv or lawn mower tires I always figured it was well worth taking them somewhere and getting them changed out…..
