- 0:00Ah [laughter]
- 0:02>> wow
- 0:02>> it's too much.
- 0:03>> Oh yeah kind of waiting my waiting.
- 0:07>> Damn.
- 0:29Yep. Hey, welcome everybody to America's
- 0:33shittiest garages. This is just what
- 0:35happens, dude. I've been like working on
- 0:37this bike non-stop for only like only
- 0:39like a week now. Yeah, just built the
- 0:41whole thing in like a week. I got a
- 0:43buddy coming tomorrow who's picking it
- 0:44up, a Japanese friend. Um I rarely get
- 0:48to do this where I like build something
- 0:50for someone, don't show them anything,
- 0:52and then actually get to see them like
- 0:54pick it up. So, dude, it's going to be
- 0:58sick. I love this bike. 1949 pan head
- 1:03chopper.
- 1:04I built it for my buddy Kenny who lives
- 1:06in Japan. He's got a shop called Jack's
- 1:08Garage. He just wanted something like
- 1:11pretty much like my style, like tall and
- 1:15and like lean and skinny bike. So, I was
- 1:18stoked to build it for him. I think like
- 1:20what stands out the most probably is
- 1:22like it's got these like split pipes.
- 1:25This one, this long one on the left
- 1:26side. It looks really sick. Um, it's
- 1:29actually pretty challenging to kind of
- 1:31get everything to fit. And probably the
- 1:33hardest thing was like making this foot
- 1:36shift work. I know it doesn't sound like
- 1:39a lot, but it's like yeah, just hard to
- 1:42make everything like fit in there. Um,
- 1:44kind of had to grind down the primary,
- 1:46but it's sick. Like I like a bike like
- 1:48this where it's like easy to ride. It's
- 1:51got a hand clutch, foot shift. I just
- 1:54decided I was going to ditch the front
- 1:56brake because I think a spool looks
- 1:58really good on it. Standong brake,
- 2:00standong mids, shifters kind of like a
- 2:02standong style. My cousin Turkey made
- 2:05it. Joe hunt Magneto 334 front end. This
- 2:08tank is probably like I mean the paint
- 2:12has just been falling off of it. So I
- 2:14don't know how much longer it's really
- 2:15going to last. Just like all the good
- 2:17[ __ ] kind of cool molded frame I got up
- 2:20at um Sims shop in Hayward Ron Sims.
- 2:23That was kind of a cool day digging
- 2:25through all his [ __ ] But yeah, this is
- 2:26the kind of bike I like. Fun to ride,
- 2:29lean. I'm going to clean up the garage.
- 2:31We're going to do have a little
- 2:32unveiling tomorrow. I'm stoked. I'm
- 2:34stoked it's done. I haven't even started
- 2:36it yet, but it's a rebuilt motor. I know
- 2:39this transmission. I know the magneto.
- 2:42There's no reason it's not going to run.
- 2:44So,
- 2:46the the the clock is ticking. See you
- 2:49tomorrow.
- 2:51Kenny's supposed to be here in 1 minute.
- 2:542 o'clock. It's 1:59 if my math is
- 2:57correct. 1 minute. And he's probably a
- 3:00punctual guy. Like you'll see him. He
- 3:02seems like a punctual guy. Oh, that's my
- 3:04[ __ ] neighbor. He's going to hate
- 3:06this.
- 3:092011.
- 3:25>> Buddy,
- 3:25>> how are you?
- 3:26>> Good. How are you?
