    Yaaay. Two-stroke Friday!
    It's not just the money. Most motorcycle dealerships around here wouldn't know how to work on it. Young staff who've never touched a two stroke road bike or seen one in the wild. A two-stroke motorcycle going down the street is an extreme rarity these days even in places where such things are collectable. For many dealerships, it's, plug into the computer to find out what's wrong then replace major components, (ie; whole engines, lol),. Too many chips and code. Fifty years from now, this two stroke could likely still be restored to working condition, (if the governement allowed it 😒),. The computer chip bikes,...probably in a land fill.

    too many entertaining highlights in this video to pick just one. I have to say the idea to work Simplisafe into the plot is excellent.
    I had several kawasaki 2 strokes back in the late 60's. these videos bring back many great memories.

    Being a 2 stroke could u steal one ring off the other piston and get it to run if you were desperate

    I’m watch your channel and BrickHouse. Love the content. You inspired me to restore my 1980 Honda xr80a. Got it running this morning after doing the carbs and points and cleaning up the tank and lines. Runs like a top. Appreciate your content and humor.

    Try taking it for a ride holding the clutch lever in and keep dabbing the brakes, this sometimes frees a sticking clutch.

    Great points on working on older bikes…lots of them for sale these days needing “a carb, tune up, brakes, etc,. won’t start” to your points, IMO as fewer and fewer independent shops, number one, and dealerships around where I live will not work on anything older than ten years…great what you do!

    Thanks for the good videos. The best way I’ve found to clean ring grooves is with a broken ring. It works excellent anyway. Keep up the good videos. Thank you.
