Thinking About Buying a Cheap Bike from China? Here is what you Get!
In this video, I briefly cover why it is not a good buy to order a bike from China. If you are patient enough to wait for the long shipping times, you get what you pay for. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP8OCrSM1Ng
In this episode, the mechanic work begins on the old S10. This is my girlfriend's truck and it's in a lot of trouble. Everyone is telling her to junk it and buy a new truck. I told her to let me take a crack at it. The first and most obvious issue is the U-joints as they clunk every time you take off and rattle at 40mph. I warned her not to drive it unless absolutely necessary over the last couple of weeks until I could get it into my repair bay. Fortunately, she heeded my advice and safely babied the truck here.

In this video, I show how to install a lift pump on a 1985 VW Golf Diesel. This can be applied to any old mechanical VW 1.6L Diesel engine. This is my attempt at solving the fuel starvation issue that this car has. This is the first of three videos on this repair and this one begins with the physical installation of the pump, plumbing, and wires through the chassis. Find out what it takes to get this old dead diesel resurrected.

Just a quick minute of rally driving before the mud dries up. Fun road to take in Western Colorado.

In this video, I embark on a classic rebuild of an awesome bike from the late 50s. The bars and saddle are to, of course, be preserved as that's how the bikes were popularly set up back in the 60s. This is my process.
Despite melting my finger in Purple Power, I pushed on and got this engine back in the truck. It was a bitch, but now it is done and soon this old beast will move under its own power!

My brain is a little overstimulated so here is my decrompression ride, taking the long way home on the old 1980 Nishike Olympic 18 (Olympic 12 originally). This is truly one of my favorite bikes.
But wait! There's more!! Including life rants about current issues. And some killer fun downhill runs!

It is summertime at the HomeStead and it's hot as F&CK - especially in the greenhouse. Need to muster up the strength to install panels in this heat to seal in the nice evap cooled air! And the heat along with the wind make me lose my mind a little...
