I always enjoy listening to highly skilled tradesmen/women who aren't threatened by the thought of sharing skills that have been honed/refined through the course of decades of hands-on experience!
I absolutely love these shop videos. Thanks to Jeff for taking the time to do these.
Glad you like them!
Love these detailed, nerdy, and insightful videos. Jeff is the best!
Please do more videos of this nature it's nice to see a glimpse to how the pros do things
These kind of videos are great! Hope to see more of these in the future !
More to come!
Really enjoy watching Jeff work and drop knowledge
Absolutely top notch mechanics really help your business. Jeff certainly knows his stuff and is worth his weight in gold! Just like the Wizard and the rest of the team! If people watch this video and see what kind of money 💰 work and care go into the bikes you have, then they can justify paying a little extra for what they are getting. It’s great business practice. I wish I could afford one again. I would definitely buy one from you all and have it shipped to North Dakota! Thank You.
Great to see Jeff showing all his knowledge and skills on saving a classic motorcycle, please make a video of this bike on your dyno . Thanks Jeff, like your dog to.
Great video of your workers doing their thing!! I was cringing though when Jeff was installing the head and moving the gasket sealing surfaces across the cylinder studs. Ouch!! He should of asked for help having a person on either side.
This is awesome watching in high definition version up close. Plus we get to see the Mastermind at work! Jeff is probably the best in the business!
Man I wish I lived near you guys I’d have you do my bike work, looks like a excellent crew you got there.
They are the best!
This guy is a Master Mechanic fixing one of the best japanese and iconic bikes ever! As a gear head since I was 7 yeard old, is a pleasure watching someone like him doing a fine job!
Awesome job! I love these videos when the Manic Mechanic shows us what's up. And he's right about one thing… It's worth it. It's basically going to look like a brand new classic so bid high and bid often because who knows when another one will come through and be as much of a dime-piece as this one. God bless America!!!
What a total privilege to be allowed to come along with Jeff on this journey !!
You're lucky to have that Ole boy Ken and his heart ❤️ is in it
Can’t imagine the amount of engine knowledge in this guys head
I love watching and listening to the Master Manic Mechanic, while he's at work. That is gonna be one gorgeous and sick bike. I love the double exhaust pipes on each side. Poor Jackie got put in jail, like the manic mechanic had said, because she was misbehaving. 😂😂😂...Yeah, The Manic Mechanic is a mechanical genius, when it comes to motorcycles!
Great to watch some one Manic Mechanic that knows there Stuff cheers Mick Australia.
*Riding a Motorcycle gives you a special kind of Adrenaline Rush*
07:04 Nice looking XR600R next to him. What a dream bike shop!
Old school excellence, they don’t make ‘em like they used to. Referring to Jeff not the bike. Should have two apprentices with him constantly. He knows his shit 👍🏻
He has a hole shop full of guys he helps figure out the hard issues every day!
Seriously major talent.
Manic Mechanic is the man!
Love the Tech videos, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
😂 The dog love s getting the bubble wrap and poping them haha
Like Jackie I have a Fenchie Sammy Nice job Jeff
You are magical
On cam caps, I trust my feel with a t handle over any snap on torque wrench I own. Nice video
Beat choice to restore
I remember my uncle talking about the kawi 900s. According to him. It’s pretty much outran everything in his area
Yeah the KZ900 is legendary for sure. And they look great and sound even better 🎵🎵🎵
I love this bike and the new one too.
I enjoy these kind of videos. Great looking OEM style exhaust system. Nice and quiet too.
At 13:20 Jack is sniffing out a treasure trove!
Manic Mechanic, what a Legend!
Full send on the guy who hawk-a-loogie in the background
"I'm guessing 17-18lbs, I got a torque wrench built in my wrist". Man I love that
Gloves? Jeff doesn't need gloves. 😁 Hopefully all the solvents over the years will be good to him.

I like the wooden brake lever the most
Anyone on here remember or knew Kenny Augustine? He did a lot of crazy heard work in the late 70s in NJ.
People with his knowledge are getting harder and harder to find. I'd gladly pay the bill if he was working on my bikes
Theres a line 18 months long already, and he is working 65 hours a week!
Awesome
Sound was very low wen he talks had to have my phone on full volume an less its just my phone just a heads up still amazing tho great work going to be a amazing bike and motor
Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh!!!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💣💣💣💣💯💯💯💯💯🇦🇷🇦🇷👌👌👍👍👌👍👌👍🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌!!!!!excelent
Great video once again, although it would have been nice if Jeff was mic'd up!
Hi,wrist torque wrench,😂👌💪🏻🙏🇺🇸🇫🇷the dog ❤good job🏆🥇
ワンちゃんがパーツをチェックしていますhahaha
Wouldn’t wanna thumb wrestle the Manic Mechanic
Damn… I wish he was "🎤'ed up". Hard to hear him. I just started the video so maybe it will get better. Also, what are we going to do when all of the old-timers who really know what these tools do and how to use them are gone? Are there any really talented "up-and-comers"? Probably not. Most young people don't even know what these tools are, let alone how to use them.
you just watched a dying art
