Title: The Classic Motorcycle Channel
Post by: Dave Swanson on October 09, 2020, 06:28:20 AM

I did some searching before creating this post as I don't want to re-plow old ground but came up with nothing.  So at the risk of being repetitive, here it goes. 

I came across this Youtube channel yesterday.  I don't know how it escaped me until then, but it is just great!

The first video I watched was this Guzzi Lemans Cafe Racer project.   Watch it in bits or all at once(33 minutes long).  The longer you watch the more impressed you will be.  The planning and execution for this bike was top notch!  As with all well executed custom bikes it all looks deceptively simple until you see all the background work.

Going quite well Chuck!  The walker is put away and I am walking pretty good with a cane for safety.  PT began yesterday.  2021 will be a good year for riding I believe!

Motorbike video fail!  No angle grinders with sparkies.  No beard oil.  No artisanal tire air.  No skinny jeans or ear gauges.

I liked the video on the Gold Star.

I have watched most of the videos on this channel and they are all of high quality and very interesting.  One of the perks of recuperating from the hip replacement.   :grin:

The Guzzi cafe racer is still up there as one of the favorites of the bunch.  The builder Nick Sharp has a very modest shop and works on a strict budget.  The end result is very professional.  Impressive.

Nick Sharp has an Instagram channel.  guz_guz_850
