I'd just like to say I think we'd also be stoked to see not-fully-finished projects. Perfect can be the enemy of good (at least for me), and imo the process and narrative are usually more engaging than what's usually the final 10% of a creator's video that displays the polished project. Just speaking from personal experience, I get myself into a rut thinking a project is never fully "done" and I don't want that to stop you from uploading lol. Incredible work, plus the soundtrack is back-to-back bangers.
Well played sir but isn't it a quad with 4 wheels? What about twin rear swing arm setup driving 2 rear wheels? Penny Farthing 3 wheel bikes were a thing but I'm referring to 1x front wheel 2x back type (not the 2x front wheel with 1 single rear dolly wheel thing looking like a 3 wheeled Morgan skeleton type 😂 Entertaining video was entertaining mate 🍻
I think this is a big missed opportunity. The profile absolutely calls for a rotary radial motorcycle. Just think about it. They are incredibly difficult to start, the throttles go out of alignment immediately, they are horrifically unreliable, stray oil all over the road so the brakes don’t work, physically can’t stop without stalling, and yours would both be incredibly unstable al low speeds and have such an enormous gyroscope that it wouldn’t be able to turn at high speed. You’d have a bike with serious and fundamental design flaws preventing it from starting, stopping, accelerating, decelerating, keeping going, turning, staying upright and falling over! It’d be like strapping buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropping it. All the design flaws would cancel out.
Okay fine, so when my business was being liquidated (how and why is a whole other story). I had just taken delivery or a huge job that was about 4 tones of steel just in raw material. For some reason the liquidator was going to just throw it in the bin. Not even scrap it. Which I thought was incredibly wasteful but apparently it was not worth there time. Anyways I ask him if I can have a bit of it and he said no problem. So 20 loads of cedrick later the 4 tons of steel was in my backgraden. I then later built a shed on it as I had no space not realising I would need the material out so soon. Hindsight is a bitch.
The title and maybe the thumbnail could be better. "The SuperFarthing" is a quite niche pun that most wont get. The people who dont get it will probably think it has something to do with farting.
@@Gregulations one thing that colin did that had always me me abit sour was, the hover bike. he tried to ride/hover the bike on pure balance. NONSENCE!... the handlebars should have controls for a series of under mounted wind veins and flaps. you would never make a car where you lean to drive like a skateboard! aircraft need precise control and balance, otherwise its all out of whack! REDO THIS PROJECT WITH COLIN INVOLVED.
I SCREAMED when i saw that front wheel assembly laid on the ground, dear LORD you are a madman! I have no idea why I havent subscribed to you sooner! Excellent work!!!
For all of you who, like me, were wondering why the hell you're already subscribed to this channel, this is the absolute legend who made the autochef and I guess he turned up again with another banger
This project was so ridiculous it earned you a subscription and a thumbs up!!! The sparks during the burn out were the best part! Any burnout without sparks from here on out are just plain lame!!! Way to raise the bar!!
This is the best kind of video on the internet. Glad to see a new entry to the genre. Thanks so much for sharing this with us and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next.
8:30 yeah, you can buy chrome paint, BUT ive not seen it for using on a metal exterior, ive used chrome paint on the inside of polycarbonate RC car bodies with an actual chrome mirror finish
this is without a doubt or any stetch of the imagination, hands down the greatest thing I have seen in the past 5 years. I will confess, the past 20 minutes have consisted of me grinning like an idiot so much my face hurts.
@@deabreu.tattoo No you are right, I was waiting for the try without the training wheels but with the weight of the thing I can see that being really risky. Normal training wheels are setup so only one touches the ground (when it is leaning that direction) and if going strait and balanced neither training wheel would touch the ground and it would be only on the 2 wheels. Here it is on all 4 wheels and never balances, its not a bike.
Just landed on this video (and subsequently this channel, obviously) - had to comment for the algo. Happy to be in the first 16k subs, since you're obviously gonna clear a million before 2026. Keep up the incredible work, cheers mate
12:46 - 12:53 ..... cost per square inch ..... actually, absolutely everything about this whole deal is utterly f@rkin insane. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing this to us, and I hope your 2025 goes much better than what sounds like a tumultuous 2024.
Happy days Greg, just stumbled on your channel, and subbed, hope lifes treating you better now mate, have a great Christmas, best wishes to you and yours Ralfy 👍
I can only imagine the McDonald's staff at the drive-thru just thinking 1st "oh god another loud bike show-off..." and then going crazy when they see what the heck picked up that happy meal.
You've created a training sports big wheel bagger. For one, anything farthing is going to have front wheel drive (and no training wheels - farthing is British for bloody difficult and dangerous).
fucking amazing video, i love the super farthing. this deserves so many views and i hope that it gets them. cant believe that this is only your second video. also the "it came to me in a dream" part is so fucking funny.
The mix of madness and ingenuity in this are incredible. I really hope you take off (on youtube, not physical flight... though i wouldn't be surprised there either).
Goofy but amazing bike, good music choice, great video editing and quality, self multirole shots and a krispy kreme klub member, what’s not to love in this video?
The weirdest part of the whole thing for me that i never thought about or realized was that the drive through is on the other side of the building at McDonald's 🤯

Sick video! Very impressive engineering! Subbed and can’t wait to see the next crazy project. Thanks for listing the music used in your video.

Gotta love a good dumb-idea-good-engineering-great-filmmaking video
Excellent description
I was just on the phone with my grandma & your Pfp is the same one as the one I gave her so I nearly shite me self
Who’s going to tell him penny farthing is front wheel drive

God dam, I think you're on to something here
this is peak comedy
3:22 My dude cut a hole in his floor just to retrieve a piece of steel from his secret stash
The whole shed was actually built on a foundation of billet lol, it is suffering from subsidence now..... It's a long story
We definitely need to hear this story

Sounds like 4 tons of steel is the real bitch haha
@@Gregulationslove the story and came to the comment section for this exact reason
Another special thing about a Penny farthing is that they are front wheel drive...?
I think there could be some bigger issues that prevent it being a penny farthing 😂
Why does this still have under 1k views after 4 hours?
The title and maybe the thumbnail could be better. "The SuperFarthing" is a quite niche pun that most wont get. The people who dont get it will probably think it has something to do with farting.
It's a day later and it's still extremely underrated. The algorithm gods need to boost this awesome video up
I was thinking the same thing. I have no doubt at some point he will get the viewership he deserves.
@colinfurze would probably try and drive this

Your channel is going wheels up in no time. The first two videos have been absolute bangers. Good work, my guy.
Appreciate that
I SCREAMED when i saw that front wheel assembly laid on the ground, dear LORD you are a madman! I have no idea why I havent subscribed to you sooner! Excellent work!!!
Love it! Just want to let you know I appreciate you didn't stretch this over 3+ videos 😄
My videos on this channel will only ever be start to finish complete projects. :D
For all of you who, like me, were wondering why the hell you're already subscribed to this channel, this is the absolute legend who made the autochef and I guess he turned up again with another banger
I thought this was one of those huge channels. Wild work man. I enjoyed and subscribed.
Cheers man!
It is huge. Look at all the people on the channel photo.
This project was so ridiculous it earned you a subscription and a thumbs up!!! The sparks during the burn out were the best part! Any burnout without sparks from here on out are just plain lame!!! Way to raise the bar!!
It's a dollar farthing. Or rather a pound farthing since you're British!
Hmmmm... Is youtube having a bad day? It actually recommended a enjoyable video to watch.
HE IS BACK! THE LEGEND IS BACK!
Just found your channel Greg under rated and are worthy of more subs. Keep up the good work. Excited for more
happy birthday baby jesus
Thanks 😊
Bro created problem for solution
It's glorious. A proper ride for the countryside.
It's so crazy it wraps back around to awesome again. I kept having to pause the video while laughing hysterically.
538 Veiws is absolutely criminal man
This video is like watching a spud on the edge of a very tall bike waiting to be squished
your fabrication work is supreme! subscribed!!! such a talent, this was very fun to follow along with, thank you for pursuing your dream!

this IS insanely cool! thats some crazy engineering.
This is the first one of your videos I've seen, VERY much enjoyed it. Can't wait to watch your other projects, you're a character man
The weight of the front wheel, the ginormous trail, THE FLAT TYRE... It must handle like shit! I love it!
Ok, so if it has 4 wheels touching the ground, it's not a bike anymore
@@deabreu.tattookick stands and training wheels are acceptable attachments to bikes. Your hair splitting is null.

He somehow managed to make bikes even more dangerous...
When you think you have seen everything on UA-cam, Greg comes in :D This channel is going big! Good luck with everything and Merry Christmas!
Love the editing and style of the video, and the project is a big WTF. Keep at it, I see a winner! Cheers from Argentina!

If you can get one rolling on just two wheels like a big boy, I'll poop myself.
the writing is so good that i hope it wasnt made by AI

Can't wait to see more crazy inventions!
Dude the amount of time and effort for this video was awesome! Very underrated this should be at 500,000 Plus views by now
I have genuinely been checking it account once every few days waiting for this video 😭 Greg I love you man xoxoxo
You are so extremely talented! Absolute gem of a video!
just found your channel. I really like how you do things. You are funny and serious while being playful. I also am impressed with the build. WOW.
The work that went into this build and the video is absolutely insane, mad props
This is absolutely insane! Good job!
I’m so glad that I got to see this without being the one to put in all of the work.
This was my favourite Christmas present this year ❤ thank you!
Happy days Greg, just stumbled on your channel, and subbed, hope lifes treating you better now mate, have a great Christmas, best wishes to you and yours Ralfy 👍
It just needed a flat paved area without ditches
The problem is that any uneven road and you just end up going wildly off course. As you may know most road isn't flat haha
@Gregulations that's the beauty in a large flat area like a salt pan. Doesn't matter which way you go it's all flat.
@@MaxNippard yeah but I wanna make it road legal haha
@@MaxNippard *try to make it
@@Gregulations I wonder if there is any motorbike regulations that preclude very heavy or very large diameter wheels
This is the content I sub'd for

You've created a training sports big wheel bagger. For one, anything farthing is going to have front wheel drive (and no training wheels - farthing is British for bloody difficult and dangerous).
Cutting a hole in the floor to reveal hunks of steel is hilarious dude lol
That is completely insane in the best possible way. You're awesome.
Well, it was an interesting video, but I can't even confidently call it a motorcycle if it has the permanent training wheels.
Incredible work! Hope this video blows up.
This is completely pointless, a total waste of time, and basically throwing money down the toilet.
I love it.
Perfect example of "fuck around and find out" engineering
The superfarthing
Megafarthing
Gigafarthing
Millifarthing
Grandfarthing
Perfect example of “because you can doesn’t mean you should”
nice work!
What a fabulous Boxing Day treat, this is as top tier as the internet gets, awesome content.
I'm not certain why UA-cam brought me to this bit of madness, but I'm now a subscriber. cheers
Very nice video mate.
fucking amazing video, i love the super farthing.
this deserves so many views and i hope that it gets them.
cant believe that this is only your second video.
also the "it came to me in a dream" part is so fucking funny.
If this man keeps making videos like this he's gonna blow up!
this is quite good
A hub motor in the front wheel may have been a decent alternative to strapping an entire motorcycle to the thing. Probably not as fun/showy though
Totally worth the wait for this insane video. I hope it will get the attention it deserves.
@@expierreiment thanks man
The mix of madness and ingenuity in this are incredible.
I really hope you take off (on youtube, not physical flight... though i wouldn't be surprised there either).
wth 😂 funny to see such a mental idea executed with so much thought and design haha, this needs to get more views
Great video! Insane amount of work too
A local flying club may know of an airfield nearby where you can test this property, even if their home airfield is not suitable.
I wasn't looking for this, i don't normally watch this type of video. But dammit i couldn't look away. Very entertaining 10/10
adding studs/spikes for penny farthing speed record on ice
Huge, expensive, impractical, hilarious, I want one and would ride it in every parade I can find!
Definitely earned a sub with this one... don't understand how you don't have 10x the subscribers
Um whaaaaaat? How have I never been offered up this madness before now? Screw you algorithm!
Goofy but amazing bike, good music choice, great video editing and quality, self multirole shots and a krispy kreme klub member, what’s not to love in this video?
"I turned the R6 into a chandelier" is something I never thought I would hear 😂
It's a statement I never thought I would use so accurately.
This is a brilliant video, thank you.
Nice channel. Well done looking forward to more cool content.
adding reverse to a bike... as a side effect of a bad idea... is pretty wild lol
this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and I love everything about it
I admire your lunacy
Well you just made a new subscriber out of me. I’m excited to see what kind of stuff you get up to.
This deserves so many more views than it has! Algorithm get on it
The weirdest part of the whole thing for me that i never thought about or realized was that the drive through is on the other side of the building at McDonald's 🤯
You defo earned my subscription.. Dude .. love the way how you designed the wheel..
This earned my subscription, would love to see an mot testers reaction to this showing up 😂 Look forward to seeing more videos!
Absolute gold.
Thats an absolutute stunning example of engineering-satire
This is a totally unhinged build, amazing work.
Already looking forward to the 1 million subs video! :D
This is the kind of thing that would be on Topgear
This is going to get hella views for sure
wow.. i love this! sub earned!
OMG you are hysterical! thank you
Just put an electric motor on an actual penny farthing. And put it on the front wheel, where it belongs.
This guy is going places!
...via a ditch.
The lil tombstone for the broken bit was perfect. "Chef's Kiss"
