Inspiration! Following watching this I went out to my shed to attempt a start on the reluctant BSA. Same as this timing slightly out, just a nudge and varoom! Euphoria!
My neighbors are not pleased. It’s 5 am, watching the video, then I’m hoot’n & hallow’n YEA!!!!!! She bloody well started on the exact last kick…. Well done “friend across the ocean”. Cheers from 🇺🇸
Nice job mate. Was sitting there watching, legs, fingers and everything else crossed, then it started! My wife thought I was mad ,the cat did a runner, but who cares? Sounds really sweet, can't wait to see it with the tank fitted. Hope the hospital goes okay. Steve.
It lives!! Brilliant job there Craig, was beginning to think ‘not today it won’t!’ The look of surprise then relief on your face when it fired up was magical. So pleased for you. Good luck with your pre-op and hope all goes well. Take care mate 👍
Another episode in the drama that is the Doghouse!!! It wouldn't be the same if it all went smooth, but I love the way you say you were "annoyed" with the petrol tank drama!!🤣 All the best tomorrow mate. Chin too and head down.
Definitely a tick in the box - I had a few where it was more like a kick in the bollocks and I have been at the point of 'I'll set fire to the bloody thing if it won't start ' - that's one of the best feelings in the world when it finally starts up - well done ! Good luck with the medical issues Craig !
I know how you feel I am trying to build a boat and having similar problems if it can go wrong it has. You just have to keep going. I feel your joy stripping a bike engine completely then hoping she starts is like you say a monumental thing to do. So a big well done Craig she sounds so sweet. Hope all goes well at the hospital with the pre OP. Can't wait to see the paint job.
Best of luck with the pre-op mate. When I went for one before my hip replacement, they discovered that I had something called 'Atrial Fibrillation', which is basically when your heart has a 'misfire'. So, that was my operation cancelled, while they tried to solve the problem. Over twelve months later, my op was scheduled to be done... Then Covid happened...
I find it hard to fathom that your summer gear is gone, you’ve got the heat on, Blue is cold, and it’s only bloody mid-September!!!! What the…..?? Really?
Did blue miss the start up lol anyway Craig at least the engine is up and running persevering saves the day many would have called it a day and shut shop .
Hello from Southwest Missouri, Graig thank you for sharing a horror story. A problem you did not need at this . Glad the 2nd tank was more repairable. .
Well chewy me old mate , only one thing to say .....👏👏👏!!!. Now go and sit down with a nice cuppa and eat some rich tea biscuits 😁.see you later. Peace out ✌️
Been watching your channel for a while now, i came from Mats channel 😊 cam I just ask if the foil bubble wrap stuff actually works for the shed, I'm looking at insulating mine so not sure 🤔
CRAIG I've just watched MATT'S live stream and he discovered that the stop light must be on the off-side! That is a lot of work wasted if your MOT guy back heels present position!
Great to hear her start. Nice to get to that stage before the pre op.

Really pleased for you Craig!!
Congrats Craig. Hard work and perseverance as they say.
How good was that she’s purring like a cat 🐱 that’s was a sweet sound good job Craig
No noise before 9am, should be 10am 😂😂😂
I felt your frustration from 100 miles away 😊
Nice job mate. Was sitting there watching, legs, fingers and everything else crossed, then it started! My wife thought I was mad ,the cat did a runner, but who cares?
Sounds really sweet, can't wait to see it with the tank fitted. Hope the hospital goes okay.
Steve.
Well done Bro she looks and now sounds stunning
Im not ashamed to say when that fired up I got a massive lump in my throat . and a tear rolled down my cheek
Sounds lovely mate another gem ,brilliant!
The look on ya face when it kicked over😂😂
Magic stuff Craig! First fire up is always nerve wracking. Enjoy a bit of time off, hope the weather is nice enough to be out and about :-)
You've learnt some new words i reckon!
It lives!! Brilliant job there Craig, was beginning to think ‘not today it won’t!’ The look of surprise then relief on your face when it fired up was magical. So pleased for you. Good luck with your pre-op and hope all goes well. Take care mate 👍
Finally!! - was starting to think we might be getting a "WILL IT START Part II" Craig. Nice one. All the best with the shoulder pre-op mate.
Great , apart from the tank woes. Best of luck with the hospital stuff. ❤
At least the tank broke before it was painted
Well done mate that was a great sound sleep well and keep safe

Craig don't beat your self up and stress over it mate

Nice one Craig, I was rooting for you getting in going big time. Hope the pre-op goes/went okay.
Great Craig. I'm smiling like Cheshire cat here, as soon as she fired up, my grin, along with yours grew. Well done mate.👌
Well done Craig sounds like you need a few days rest. I am guessing this bike is going to be for summer 2025 !!!
Well done Craig, excellent 😊

Sweet as Craig, sweet as. Good luck with the pre op 👍
Well done Craig
nice one Craig hope all good at the hospital stay safe best of luck cheers🤞
I smell a Bombfire Night Draw or maybe Christmas :)
All the best with the pre op.
My bet was on the third kick. Didn't win a biscuit, did I? Nothing a little insisting wouldn't overcome. 💪 She's a beauty! 🤗
Fantastic, well done craig😊
Excellent! Congratulations. 😁👍❤
Thumbs up for mate
great channel :) thanks for the joy !
Worth the effort cocker🤟
Well done mate!
Well done Craig , it’s all coming together rather well. Now go get that shoulder fixed. Take care 👍👍
Best of luck with the pre-op mate.
When I went for one before my hip replacement, they discovered that I had something called 'Atrial Fibrillation', which is basically when your heart has a 'misfire'.
So, that was my operation cancelled, while they tried to solve the problem.
Over twelve months later, my op was scheduled to be done... Then Covid happened...

Brilliant 👍😁
Well done! Chuffed for you, your face when it fired up was a picture!
Woohoo !!!
Yeeeees, well done Craig, even I was nearly out of breath with all that kicking 😂
nice ONE 🎇👍👍👍
I wonder, in the future, when the get the electric motor to 'turn over' they get the same elation! 🤣
I was beginning to think the tale of "Craig and the tank" was going the same way as "Murphy and the bricks" 😂, glad you got it sorted in the end 👍
Welldone craig.❤
Get in there, chuffed to bits for you mate .
Yay
Great result Craig. Why is there a DO NOT TOUCH notice on the RM??
Well done Craig lovely to hear it running after all this time absolutely brilliant
Very nice buddy

Congrats Craig. Another Royal Enfield custom job very well done. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Congratulations Craig ... it makes noise! Good luck with your medical appointments. Regards Michael from Tasmania

Hello from Southwest Missouri, Graig thank you for sharing a horror story.
A problem you did not need at this . Glad the 2nd tank was more repairable.
.
Fabulous 💪
Excellent job Craig it lives😂
Well done, Craig. great to hear it running 😊
ya man take us on an adventure to an old mine or mill .. soemthin... 👍
Craig l felt your pain...😂😂😂
How's the silver insulation in your shed working out? More moderate temperatures?
Damn Im happy for you. To see you when it fired up 👍
We should have had a bet on how many kicks to get this bike started before you keeled over Craig 😂😂😂
Well done Boss Man
Is there anywhere you can go where you don't hear the morning traffic?
saw the yoga mat and first image was craig in a mankini doing Pilates or Aerobics. now i cant see anything else
How something from the dead comes back into life, could that not happen with humans 😅
Well chewy me old mate , only one thing to say .....👏👏👏!!!.
Now go and sit down with a nice cuppa and eat some rich tea biscuits 😁.see you later.
Peace out ✌️
Been watching your channel for a while now, i came from Mats channel 😊 cam I just ask if the foil bubble wrap stuff actually works for the shed, I'm looking at insulating mine so not sure 🤔
Great job!! Hey do you know the dimensions of your garage?(shed) I have an 11'x17' and was wondering how to set mine up.
Craig, is that a Chinese diesel heater I can hear in the background?
Whats the ignition in that Bullet Craig?
CRAIG I've just watched MATT'S live stream and he discovered that the stop light must be on the off-side! That is a lot of work wasted if your MOT guy back heels present position!
💥 BOOM 🎊 🎉
Glad my future new bike is running.. any chance of a front mudguard please?
Do you think the tank deserves a big '13' painted on it?😮
😜
😀😃😁👍👍👏👏
👏👊🙏
😡🤢🛠🏍👍❤️
