It really breaks my heart to hear your bike was stolen, it was beautiful and I hope you get it back somehow. it's an epidemic as far as I'm concerned. No two wheeler is safe these days. I've lost 3 different bicycles myself over the years, but I have a near perfect emerald green western flyer that is almost ready to roll so I'm optimistic. Can't wait to see your next build or whatever your new hobby may be. Thanks for the content.
I appreciate the kind words. Indeed, I do somework in the bicycle industry now and the theft is alarming. Best of luck with your new bike! Sounds awesome 😀
My ebike doesn't leave my sight unless it's locked up. All it takes is a few seconds to get stolen, and I can remove the battery in thirty seconds. Luckily, I live in a small town, I'm keeping mine with me in my residence. I paid a lot for it, I'm not giving it up, to anybody.
It was always my dream to tell stories with video and I feel like I'm finally committing so hearing such positive feedback like this really motivates me. I appreciate it, my next episode is dropping in a day and I'm super excited about it! I won't let up :)
Thanks man!! Appreciate the kind words. Check out the channel, if you like me you might like the content. It's mostly travel and history vlogs/docs but I have a bunch of diy projects I have to make into videos too so stay tuned for those! Thanks again sandy
Hey, just found your channel. Even tho I was looking for videos on how to assemble a motorized bike and this wasn't it I really enjoyed the video. Very relaxing to watch. Nice editing and music. Keep it up! Saludos from the other side of the Ecuator :D Sorry for you loss (theft?), one of my bikes got stolen recently, parked inside my apartment building too so I feel ya:(
I really appreciate the kind words and support! It means a lot to me to have had my video enjoyed by another person on the other side of the world 😀 I'm just trying to grow this channel so having a comment like this is huge. Hope you stay tuned for even better content in the future and you check out my other video 👍
I ran across your video, I'm an enthusiast on Board Track Bikes, boit ready to start a build. Sorry about your loss, perhaps it's time for you to do another build.
Much love for your doggo Lucy. Might be too much info but. Recently broke up with my ex of 3 years and her dog was like my daughter. I’m looking at starting to build engines. But buying another bike or car would probably put me deep water. Love the editing and continue doing what you’re doing
Sorry to hear that, man 😞 yeah engines and motorized toys certainly are money pits but it's always good to have something to tinker on. These motorcycle kits are super cheap and fun to play with
Sweet video! You have some awsome editing skills, I would personally select a different thumbnail that shows the bike clearly but thats just my thought
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it so much. Tbh I thought the mystery intrigue would bring in more viewers as I try to grow but I am trying to respect my viewers time above everything so I'll definitely keep that in mind going future. So glad you enjoyed and I hope you stick around:)
With all of the eco-talk, a b.t.r. can be a good choice going work for the budget minded. If you're considering the freeway, a minimum of 15 h.p. is required. Double check that. Disadvantages must be overcome, like a rainsuit jumpsuit. I'd like to build one before I'm gone. On U-Tube, the poorer countries show remarkable, inspiring bikes of various genres. Some have the coolest looking, oddball antique gas or diesel engines.
Indeed. This was not made to be a real moto. There are a ton of cool bikes and motorcycles abroad. I've seen some cool ones in my travels to Asia and Latin America.
Nice build. Too bad it was stolen.. but I wonder, why the tank on the rear rack? It would look much better in the frame. where the fake tank is..eh..was...since its stolen...and the metalcases didnt match the "board track" style. If it where a street bike, yes...but not too many boardtrack racers brought their lunch and school books onto the track ;).
Thanks, yeah. I mean, it was inspired by a board track, and I was like 16 w limited resources. The tank on the back was a convenient solution because it came with the engine, and I couldn't find a tank that would fit in the frame online. Same with the panniers. I wanted to carry stuff and it made the tank on the back look better. Still reminds me of a retro bike with metal panniers.
I try to turn my resentment into pity. It's a shame for me and for the soul of whoever took it. It wasn't in San Fran, tho lol & I should have probably locked it instead of just having it out. Big womp womp eitherway. Thanks for watching!
Cool, too bad America has thru their ignorance dropped shop in the schools and got rid of the VW Beetle, etc. the Beetle Bug was the greatest little fun car/jeep for young drivers to mess with and customize their rides and same with the old scooters and mopeds and so now the you play on computers and cell phones and don't even know how to socialize properly or how to build or fix anything!
Yeah it's certainly a shame that they got rid of shop and the beetle was a pretty iconic and easy to work on car but you know things sadly can't be that simple or myopic as times change! I just grew up building and fixing different technology. From my pc/phone to my bike and cars. Times change, people tend to stay the same. I was always mechanically inclined and I can tell you there are many people my age who are too. Just did a brake job with my younger buddy the other day. The point is, dont lose hope for mechanical competence. In this new age we're just mechanical with new technology. It may seem foreign but there are thru lines to everything. I just wish we had more things like shop encouraging young people to explore their intellect and creativity 👍

You are a tremendous story teller... please keep at it!

Dude!!! Your the best. I hope you got more stuff. Im building a dirt bike from scratch.
Thanks man!! Appreciate the kind words. Check out the channel, if you like me you might like the content. It's mostly travel and history vlogs/docs but I have a bunch of diy projects I have to make into videos too so stay tuned for those! Thanks again sandy
Nice build, you are a great story teller and showing a lot of talent putting this video together.
I really appreciate the kind words and support

Nice build.
Thanks Allen! I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍
So sorry to hear of your loss, it was bril. so you MUST build another one. And buy a Harley Sprint 250 if you can find one, you would love it!

Is the frame a Huffy good vibrations beach cruiser?
Honestly, I couldn't tell you, but I don't think so. It was just an old steel cruiser frame
Link of the vídeo on 6:47 pls 🥺
Don't have it sorry
Sweet video! You have some awsome editing skills, I would personally select a different thumbnail that shows the bike clearly but thats just my thought

R.I.P to your beloved Lucy and bike. At least you have the memories 🙏
Indeed. And memories are the most valuable commodity
50s Super Bowl? You sound like you’re 19 that’s crazy man. Caught me off guard.
haha I am in my mid 20's - not sure what point your referencing
@@get-oa probably heard "50th Super Bowl" as "1950s Super Bowl"
Mine was stolen from in my house so I'm trying to build another even better
Yours too? Damn. Sorry to hear that man, your next one is going to be even better!

Build another one. Then sell it and build 5.
You think so? I would wanta 4 stroke engine and not some cheap one but same style
Hey next time keep it in the living room as an ornament of artwork, can't get stolen that way!!
Yeah, no doubt! Suprised it got stolen out of my yard, but such is life. Next time.

🎚👨👩👧👦🇺🇸⚙️🚲⚙️💥👍💯👊 glad to find another enthusiast. Nice video.
Thanks Roger, I appreciate the support. Glad you liked it, hope you stay tuned for my future builds and adventures.
👍🐿😎🚲
That sucks bro ☹️ build another one bro !
right? The thought has crossed my mind! add it to the list of ongoing projects haha
"It was stolen..." Well, that's SF for you. Damn shame.

Please, define cheap.
About $500 all in!
Anything less than $1.00. Working senior citizen on SS retirement. 🧑🦳
@@get-oadamn cheap indeed. Price of my wheels not including tires ..

Why not just go find an antique chainsaw that was made in the United States, instead of using a cheap ass China girl?
