STOP EVERYTHING.....Craig is doin stuff!
😂 that's exactly what I do!
And things.
Right!
This surgery can wait till tomorrow. 😅
😂😂😂
I am I am!!!!!!!!! Stop yelling at meeeeeeeeee its craig!!!! Lol jk let go
Craig has a good sense of humor. "Good thing we haven't done anything stupid yet."
Take that tire to a shop and watch the look on their face when chopped corn falls out 😂
This series has taught me that when ever you go for a motorcycle ride, have Dan follow you everywhere in a Honda Ridgeline wiith a Walmart store's entire inventory in the back.
I've heard of the freeze/boil trick being used when the metal is dented but not creased. However, you freeze it first, _then_ seal the tank and pour the boiling water. Otherwise you get a partial vacuum in the freezer, and the boiling water expends most of its energy just getting it back to atmospheric pressure. And it may require some gentle tapping with a hammer around the edges of the dent to relieve stresses and get the dent to pop. Not something I've tried personally (when I dent a tank, I don't do half measures), but the theory seems sound as far as I can tell.
can tell this guys an engineer
You don't need temperatur if you have an air compressor. Inflate it and then it will do pop out the dents. But if you inflate to high it became a ballon 😅...
We used to fill dented expansion chambers with water and put them in the freezer. When water freezes it expands.
@@ChuckWoodI wanna see him try that
I'd love to see a whole episode just on redneck/hack dent popping techniques.
I love how, moments before...
Dan goes;
"Don't ride under a l'aider, it's bad luck!" (I'm not superstitious) but right after, we see Craig fall off a bike for the first time 🤣
almost like it was for the video huh?
So he can tear a motor down and put it back together but a ladder gives him a hard time 😂 love these videos!
Was in the middle of stopping a house from burning down BUT CRAIG POSTED the house can wait!!!
my old crusty biker dad didn't teach me much but he did teach me to always have a bandana on my bike. my buddies teased me about having one tied to my forks till one day a buddies plate got loose and sure enough sliced a strip off my bandana and tied it up another time same buddy his retention clips were rusted and his brake light wires rubbing on the tire sure enough my bandana kept getting smaller but so didn't his problems. I'm guessing at this point he owes me a new one
Stopped watching bikes and beards before Sean moved, fell out of my watch circulation. Started catching up what I've missed over the past year and immediately realized Craig was the reason I watched
I'd love to see a whole episode just on redneck/hack dent popping techniques (ESPECIALLY on dented fuel tanks), maybe even compared to the "proper" ways of doing it -> paintless dent repair, body shop/fill, and even cool ways I don't even know about yet. Compare results for epic video win.
I once lost the oil fill plug on my KLR650 about an hour into a long ride. I found a plastic drink bottle cap in the ditch. Turned it upside down, it screws in very nicely.
You can also cut 2 opposing notches in the cap & use the back of your knife blade to snug it up.
My fix work so well that I finished out my all day ride. 😊
I dont ride motorcycles, I don't work on motorcycles...but I love this channel..
I got mock by my boss for watching Craig video while i was working. It was worth it.
13:23 riding under a ladder a bad luck, he falls right after😂😂😂😂
Love your Triumph! I had a 2011 America that I loved. I now have 2 Hondas.
Honda quality 👌
Would like you to redo the frozen gas tank dent repair with a plug that stays in. REALLY want to see that without failure. Also, corn stalks in the flat tire was unreal! I actually used sand in my front tire on the dunes back in the 80s, and it worked well with keeping the rim off the ground, but had to gl slow because the sand made crazy wheel balance vibration. Got me back to camp though
Yes I used grass on a dirt bike and got back to camp .
Like I wrote on Doodle’s visit; “Don’t go in there, that guy is sketchy.”
You guys are always entertaining.
Craig, your channel has turned in to my "Need to get in a better mood, let's go hang out with Kregg for a bit..." channel for when I'm just not feeling the day quite so much. You just got good vibes about ya man.
I have a 78 1/2 triumph 750 Bonneville and had never had a issue less ride on sold it to my dad back in 80s he still has it in his garage!
Yes Craig another fantastic one learning so much mate 😂😂. Can't believe Dan wasn't more concerned about you falling off the poor bike. Cracking work respect from across the pond 👍🏻👍🏻🌽🌽
I should have put more corn in my tire!!😂
Note to self: When I see a great marketplace deal for a Triumph sold by Craig, do NOT buy it! 😂
“I have had nothing but good luck with this bike.” *plop* 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The stick trick really workes . I was going to a beach rally and my oil prssure gauge broke off . Sharp stick jammed and twisted into the treaded hole and rode there and back .
Watched my buddy do it. Recommend it to Craig and I couldn't believe he used it. Lol. It does work...especially with Tennessee green hickory cause that's where we live
Craig you made my day! I can’t believe you mentioned my comment about the ladder trick and actually demonstrated it in your video!! Thanks for taking my suggestion. Keep up the awesome videos!!
My favorite redneck motorcycle trick is when you are going on a charity ride that's supposed to be husband and wife but you forget your wife at home. How I fixed it was by going to the closest truck stop in picking up a good old "lot lizard" told the event organizers it was my wife. My wife cheated while I was gone on the trip. I ended up marrying that "lot lizard" what a Disney fairy tale ending... 😂😂😂
I hate when these are over, I yelled NOOOOOO when he did his outro, Need more Craig and Dan :-(
Hold the presses! Craig’s at it again! Another banger my friend!! God Bless!!
"Bye dad gonna go play motorcycle make-believe with dan"
"Dont forget the ladder"
My Dad in New Zealand told me about that straw in the bicycle tyre trick in the depression. I suggested it to a friend and we did it in an old Honda 50 we rode around his holiday mountain track. Works sort-of.
I think the best trick of all is having a Dan with a Honda Ridgeline full of tools and parts cruising with you❤
I cross threaded my old drain bolt and drain hole, it wouldnt sit right and would fall out, I was using plumbers tape around the bolt to keep it in, rode it like that for a long time before re threading it
I have given a friend an old spark plug to replace his oil plug, as he lost it on the way loosing all the gear oil. He made it home but he didn't have a replacement. Happened to be the same thread (M12x1.25). It was a KTM sxc? 125 and an NKG DCPR6E plug.
I’m living my life by that saying “it’s not dumb if it works” for now on
Shadetree used a stick to plug a rocker bolt in a shovel head.
I look forward to Craig's videos. I could watch him rebuild carburetors all day. Lol
If i got a flat, i think i would jump call a tow truck. Lol
A friends GS1000 snapped some of the cam cap bolts and conked out in the middle of nowhere. He took the rocker cover off, put an appropriately sized piece of wood across the top of the cam caps (as I remember, it took a bit of fiddling to get a piece that was just the right size to hold them down but still allow the rocker cover to seal) then bolted the rocker cover back down on top of it and put a ratchet strap right around the engine to hold it all cranked down. Got him over 200 miles home.
2:42 i got a better one. Fill it completely with water make sure its sealed tight with no water leaking then put it in the freezer till water freezes solid. The expansion of the frozen water will push the dents out.
And you'll have yourself a Tank filled with Water and a VERY possible incoming case of Rust on your hands 😅
@@thibni_ let the ice melt then dump the water out n dry the tank. Don't leave the water in there forever. 🤦
Youve become my favorite youtuber over the course of 48 hours. Please dont stop making content like this
Great sense of humor. Love the video, keep them coming. Keep up the good work. Blessings and respect!
Hey guys, awesome video again. You make us Pennsylvanians (Strasburg) proud! Sean Kerr on notice!
Great 😂 The corn idea wouldn't work in Rocky Top Tennessee. ❤ from Liverpool 🇬🇧
Cool tricks, I bet either a buddy of mine or my younger brother would have a ladder like the one you used so I could pick up the front of my 92 Sportster 883 to A) pull the primary cover off so to check and hopefully replace my primary chain tension adjuster, &/or replace the primary chain, reinstall cover & B) pull the front tire off the replace the front brake pads and maybe the caliper if I need to. Of course I have already put my bike away for the year here in the far frozen north of Michigan so this will have to wait till spring. And for that I have to blame you Craig for not posting this idea earlier in the year! 🤣😂
"Go thing we haven't done anything stupid yet".......as he petting the front tire😅
I really look forward to your videos every week. Keep 'em coming.
We did the freezer trick but we put water IN the tank. Then kept a close eye on it. The water expands when it is frozen and pops the dent out. Watch it and dont overfill or it could possible split at a seam
Mr, Craig,
Have you been smoking the corn silk again?
Silly boy!
I mention this fix when you got your old ridding buddy’s sportster running.
My ridding buddy wasn’t much into maintenance like many mechanics and when his sportster sheared its rear sprocket rivets he used 16 penny nails to repair it and never replaced the nails as long as we rode together.
As always stay safe and healthy!
Ron
Ps; I think that maybe you might be one of “the children of the corn” offsprings?
Wife’s not home, you know what that means.. GAS TANK IN DA FREEZER!
Love these videos man
Closing the valve just before removing it from the freezer would work better. You want to let air in as it cools the trap it as it heats up. But filling it full of water, not air is the way I would do it. Ice is not likely to explode. It also works even if the cap leaks.
I wouldn't. Water is too powerful. Might blow apart the tank because water is not compressible like air. Air gives you a safety factor unlike water.
Amazing you turned the missing drain bolt from a major problem into a whittle problem.
you son of a .... 😃
@@tedcity5861 lol 😉👍
10:26 WAIT WHAT!!!!
Next you’re going to tell me the tooth fairy isn’t real!
Great video as always guys.
Cheers Pat🇦🇺
Always thumbs up guys. Great video!
That corn field shows up for work again, nice to see you reuse the set😂🤣
Oil plug fix.......sending unit unalived itself in my old Grand Prix. Tree in the Walmart parking lot donated a twig. Lol. It was still in there when I sold the car a year later. And I saw one drove in freeze plug hole of an old GMC farm truck. A pecan limb. Lol. Necessity is the king of invention.
Love the channel and will always be here to watch
That's a lot of bad luck on a nice ride Craig !! Entertaining and some of it useful too 😮
Liquid Electrical Tape works really well to seal cracked carb to intake boots, or other hard to replace/find/oem rubber vacuum tubes. Paint the outside of the rubber with the liquid electrical tape, wait a few hours, and it'll hold great vacuum again.
My buddy and I drove down to Baja Cali and about a 1/3 of the way down he put a pinhole in his oil pan . We were trying everything we had. Luckily we had bought food the night before and, unbelievably, stuffing garlic in it worked til we could get to a little town. I assume because it’s so dense. Crazy but glad it did it.
That's hilarious!
I enjoy watching these and think how ridiculous some of these temp fixes are. But when it happens to you they may come in handy! Well done!💯
Not that I'm a fan of metal shrapnel, but for the gas tank, you could try that thing they do when setting the bead on a tire: Squirt a shot of starter fluid in the tank then light it. It might not work, or it might explode, maiming everyone within 15 yards.
Used rubbing alchohol to pop a dent in a car gas tank. Tank was out of the car, cleaned out the tank with the alchohol. Let it sit a few hours then used a long lighter. It popped out the dent. Washed out with dish soap and water let dry a few days before welding the holes.
Good job Craig I totally enjoy your fun videos!
I love the Jurassic Park-esque music at the 6.22 mark! Very fitting for your triumphal (or should I say Triumph?) return to the garage!
Best quote of the day - "I should have put more corn in my tire". If you had a pickup truck bring you a ladder (not an option if I'm out riding alone), why not just load up the bike in the truck? Fun video!
Don't mock superstitions is the lesson i learned from Craig falling after trying to ride out from under that ladder.😅
Hahahaha - Dan....zooming in on the 'No trespassing' sign....very 'The Office' camera man commentary going on there...now we just need Dan to give us some of those knowing Jim Halpert looks directly at the camera....like shrugging your shoulders to mean, "I don't know what Craig is doing putting corn stalks in his tires, I'm just the camer a man."
I have one of those ladders and it most definitely is cause for concern each and every time you raise, lower or adjust anything on it!
Here's a redneck fix for ya - One time my throttle cable broke up near the throttle assembly. I could still see the frayed wire, so I cut some more of the rubber off to expose more wire, then slapped a pair of vice grips onto the wire. Pulled on the vice grips to apply the throttle. Definitely sketchy. Was on a dirt bike but it got me back to the truck!
I tried that on my Zrx1100 it was like death on wheels.
@@flipoff46 try throttling the carb when it broke low that was sketchy as f
"we kinda knew this was gonna to happen" 🤣
I’ve actually used a stick for oil drain on my 96 kx250 also used a stick for the bolt in the rear break pedal where it connects to the master cylinder lol the joys of old 2 strokes everything rattles loose
Ha ha!!! That's great. Watched my buddy do it, recommended ot to craig and he used it. I feel famous without the $$$
Fantastic triumph commando roll dismount.
You do your own stunts too 😂
Great channel 👍👍
Just call him MBM "MOTORCYCLE MYTHBUSTER"
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Lmfao. What ever works works. I've walked back looking for parts. In my day you had to. I sure like your channel
Love watching these great job may need a bit more straw for a long ride!!
One of the best bergeoning (not sore how to spell bergioning....................channels on the net! Such a laugh.
That grey silicone repairs a cracked rubber/plastic tube from carburetor to manifold very well. There's one!
Why did I just realise I wasn't subscribed! I don't ride any type of motorbike but love this channel
Holy moly just brilliant
That wood trick works wonders!
It really does. Watch my buddy do it with a piece of green Tennessee hickory and it didn't leak a drop.
Oh yes! I got one of those ladder and yes, they do pinch your finger beautifully!
I would say that properly seated side wall is of a greater benefit while having a flat tire. Also popping out those dents I would follow these steps:
1. make sure the tank can hold pressure
2. fill it with as much water as you can
3. attach an air pressure hose
4. while wearing protection gear increase the air pressure and encourage the sheet metal to form into the correct place by gentle hammer tapping
4a. if the tank should rupture it is still full of water and minimal amount of air so it is going to loose energy quick and in safe manner just because we cannot compress water in this scenario and all the pressure energy is in the little amount of air.
i dont know about motorbikes but ive stuffed branches in two flats to get a van full of weed into town for a flat replacement during harvest. tires were no good after cutting a hole in the sidewall to stuff branches in so i could drive fifty clicks on gravel. had to stop and fill em up as they crushed. worked. rims were still good. thanks.
That poor damn Triumph 😆😆😆!
Absolutely outstanding 😂😂
Having struggled with a triumph adventurer for two years you have my sympathy. Had to give it away just to get rid of it.
The Bearded Magician at it again 🧙🏻♂️
Hi Craig, I've been riding bikes for 70 years and ALWAYS take a ladder, a ratchet strap and a 4x2 with me. Never let me down yet😹😹🌽🌽
Oh smack!!!! I suggested the oil plug weeks ago!!!!! My buddies fell out and he carved a stick!!!!! Funny thing though is it happened in Tennessee lol!!! Sean is also keeping an eye out for my Grandmother's hodaka with a snail painted on the gas tank!!
I used to have a panhead with the infamous mousetrap on it. One day the clutch cable broke so I hooked my belt to the mousetrap and just pulled it by hand. This made riding a bit dicey since it was also hand shift. Fortunately, I only had about 100 miles to get home and it was the middle of the night and I probably had a few beers. Not sure if you want to test that or not. lol
I don't know anything about Harley's I have mostly owned Brit and Italian bikes so what's a mousetrap
@@stuartburton1167 Much like a compound bow with it's elliptical wheels, it's designed to be hard to pull at first, but is easy to hold at full draw. A mousetrap worked the same way using an over center lever arrangement and a large spring. It was bolted to the left front frame rail and the clutch cable connected to it. It's purpose was to help the rider hold the clutch lever in. It was notorious for ripping fingers up when it was misadjusted. I had 4 or 5 of them at one point, I used to "cock" them and leave them sitting on my workbench and wait for some, probably drunk, fool to pick one up and, much like it's namesake, smash down on his finger with the resulting hilarity. Good times, man. Good times. lol
@@3rdpig Got you and by the look of that spring I wouldn't be worried about losing a finger I would be worried about losing a leg. I had a Laverda the clutch was so heavy I had to fit a clutch economiser off a enduro bike so I could ride in city traffic.
I need to get some corn husks for my tool kit, might be better than fix-a-flat. Good video, I bet there are many more hacks to be had.
love these
I used a Gatorade cap as a radiator cap one day. Had to make a relief cut on the edge so it would go over the inlet, and zip tied it down. Rode all day in ocotillo wells.
Another gas tank dent fix. Fill the tank half full of gas, toss a match at the filler hole, and run like hell! Your dent should be gone. Maybe wait for @BikesandBeards to come back for a visit and have Sean help you guys with this one. 😁
MythBusters edition. Fun times!
I'm glad I got AAA.
Y'all having more fun than any one person should with these.
I've done this corn trick with my friends and it saves us. This tire was ok after 10-20km with grass and wheat.
I literally laughed out loud when the gas cap blew
what up Craig SRK for life keep em coming
