I think the standard "carb cleaning" is my favourite part. It's 90% the solution to all the problems.

Its a vintage Japanese twin. Of course the biggest hurdles to overcome were not having a key and rust in the tank. These things are going to continue rolling on so long as we're producing gas to make them go. Wonderful machines.

It's a 1980 GS450....that's been sitting since the early 70's. "soak" is my favourite four-letter word. Solves a lot of cleaning issues.

Please get that bike all cleaned up and running good. It's so beautiful

I will never get tired of these types of videos by you guys!

My favorite part of your videos is watching you do the carb clean/repair/rebuilds. It's a lost art these days, and watching you get them sorted out is like ASMR for me.

I love that a 1980 Suzuki could have sat behind a barn since the "early seventies" 😂

Making old abandoned bikes go is my favorite kind of episodes. Cheers!

Those ammunition box bags are awesome.

I graduated from SLH (Michigan) in 1980. I've liked this motorcycle since it was brand new. Craig, you do great work. Thanks so much for sharing. J 🤠

Another saved ride for someone to enjoy , nice job men.

With all the old beat up seats, it'd be cool to see a video where you get comfortable with some foam, adhesive, and a staple gun. You do a great job keeping these old machines running!

These barn find videos are by for the best on the channel

I've recently fought a couple of old bikes - an 82 CB650 and a 78 CX500. Watching you work has kept me positive as I restore them, and taught me a lot about things. Some I knew I'd have to address, some I wouldn't have thought of. I just wanted to say thanks for the content you create, and fod your positive attitude about working on these old machines. Really give me confidence that I can do it!

I owned a 1980 GS850G, only had 1300mi on the clock when I got her in 1981. Never let me down in 4 years.

Love watching Craig bring the oldies back to life
