Man I was sweating watching you walk it up the ramp. Love your content mate. Have a DH bobber also
No worries brother I was just stating the obvious I meant no disrespect. I think it’s awesome. What you’re doing with his motorcycles but it was just so obvious I had to pointed out and I didn’t read no comments but you’re doing great work keep it up you got some bad ass bikes. Yes I’m a Harley rider, but I love all motorcycles so I respect what you’re doing brother keep it up much love💯🤘🏽
Damn! My butt was puckering while you walked that bike up the ramp. I've done that a lot when I was younger and I can say that it is not a matter of if but when you lose control of the bike and it lays over. I've moved to a ramp that I can walk up with the bike.
I’ll eventually stop being hard headed 😅
Simple is always the best. Bicasso Best Builds.
You know it Brother!
This is the coolest custom chief build I've seen. Mainly because one guy (you) rebuilt it on a budget. Way more impressed with this than any of those big budget builds with the tacky over the top paint jobs the company is doing with Corey Hart.
Those builds have their audience for sure. I didn’t have $3-5k for a paint job like that. 😬
@@BrandonBicasso We'll yours looks better regardless. And nothing but respect to Corey Hart and his accomplishments he's a cool dude.
Believe it or not, that Ford Ranger is the only Ford, I would ever purchase! Had one when I was in the Army, and I beat that thing up, driving it between Ft. Polk, to Ft Rucker, Miami, Ga, and Houston, and it took it like a champ! Can’t say that for their newer trucks, but I will swear to that 87!
The stance of this bike is perfect, beautiful. Great work young man. I am 76 and just sold my FXDR HD
there is an Indian dealer here in the Philippines and will pay them a visit for sure. Thanks much and God Bless
Paint scheme is awesome!
man I was shook when you hopped into the truckbed with the MC...ur a got dam G!!!
*sheeeesh the colors on that bike are amazing*
I must have watched this 3 times and see things missed but all in all this bike looks super, that 16" front wheel, rim combo sets it off real nice.
Appreciate that. I've added a few things since then. Will see it soon.
I actually like the white paint job. I was thinking that black would have been cool, but the white with the frame makes this bike pop like crazy. I hope I win this bike.
That’s why I went with the white. 😍
Talk about being surprised by a Ford Ranger, I had a friend in high school that had one, and he got it from a guy that actually did drift competitions with it. I don’t remember what engine it had, I know the 4.0 is the big one for the Ranger, but his was the one below it. Anyway the engine in that truck absolutely had some work done to it, I kid you not that truck would scream to 140+ mph like nothing, it was incredible. Lots of burnouts, and fun were had with it. Unfortunately, my friend wanted a 4x4 ranger, so he traded it. The 4x4 ranger had the same engine and could barely get near 100.
Also, a tip for hauling motorcycles extra securely, I have the same harbor freight wheel chock you have bolted to a 3/4 sheet of plywood. When I move a bike with the truck, I bolt the plywood to the truck bed with two 5/16 bolts. Then you can get the bike up there in the wheel chock, and you also strap the bike to the chock. Since the weight of the bike is on top of the plywood, it really make it secure. I can fit two bikes like this on the back of a F-250, and have been on several 1,000 miles plus trips loaded like that, no issues.
Get yourself a couple milk crates to help you step up on the bed. That one big step might eventually not be quite enough. :) I usually just put two straps on the forks, don't even both with anything on the frame. And a wheel chuck in the bed would be a good investment since it looks like you going to be doing this a bit more.
Just one or two, don’t want a milk crate challenge while loading the bike.😆
Yes, I had the step stool behind me the whole time. Mrs. Bicasso insisted on me using it 😂
Brah my heart was pounding while you loaded the bike. Suggestion, get a step for stepping up and down on the truck and a wider ramp. Safely load and unload your jewel. Great job pimpin, really enjoying your content. 👍🏾
YA GOTTA SAY
“ that ain’t goin nowhere!”
Or it WILL FALL
Everybody knows that!
Exactly! You already know 😂🔥
nice. that thing sounds fine. paint looks good in sunlight.
Man I was definitely feeling what you were feeling when you were loading the bike on the truck. What I've found that has help majorly is backing up the truck the edge of hill or curb, anything that will help with the step up into the bed with the bike. I did notice yall have that sec level in yall backyard, that would be perfect!! Good job Brandon, you've come very far.
Yeah, I didn’t want to drive over the patio. Plus, doing it the hard way makes doing the easier ways that more easier. ✌🏾
Nice job. That blue frame is stunning. Stunning! 😍
When that titanium blues it will be a perfect match.
😎💦
That ramp moment had that been live I could not have watched it. If you had a wooden step that you could walk up along side it it would be sooooo much safer. Meanwhile great channel man its so good to watch this journey your taking.
NIce bike! My heart did a " pitty pat" watching you load it into the back of the pickup. I've been there, but with a double ramp and something to walk up on as well. I guess a lower center of gravity with this bike helps. Enjoyed your video!!
Thanks for tuning in 🙌🏾
i recommend investing in TANK STRAPS, sold by BIKES and BEARDS. or at least looking in to them. i have used them on my Vulcan900, Triumph SpeedTwin and 18Chieftain. i still think back to meeting you at Texas Motor Speedway and thanks for being a good ambassador for Indian!!
I had an 99 5 speed extended cab with the 4cyl, loved that truck, put hundreds of thousands of miles on it and only had to replace some O-rings in the compressor and a fuel pump at 220k, awesome little truck.
I like black and white bikes. That bike looks awesome
Man, Brandon, I was so nervous watching you load that bike all by yourself up that ramp into the back of the Ranger.
I mean, I know it was all good, but I was still nervous!
I can't wait to see & hear that new exhaust on your Indian.
AND, I can't wait to find out more about that super-charged Harley at the end of the video.
Peace. Eric in Kissimmee.
Put the front wheel chock in the bed of the Ranger. Works great. No kickstand needed.
I dont know when I'm getting my next bike, but I know after watching all your videos its probably gonna be a Chief.
Def go check one out and give it a spin.
Helmet Bro, even for quick short rides. Those quick test rides can be the most dangerous.
Been riding 35 years so I know 1st hand. Great job!!!!
Truth. ☝🏾
definitely a piece of art
I’ve always left the kickstand down when hauling my bikes, right, wrong, or indifferent, I’ve never had a problem.
Dig the loading process. Good stuff.
Good stuff man👍🏿!! Bike sounds good💯!! Yeah, that Ford Ranger will run forever. Ford did well with that year and model. I know the M109R is so jealous right now😅.
It’s getting ridden so it’ll be alright 😅
So glad you got him to work with you on the exhaust. His work is top notch.
Absolutely! I was the hold up, unfortunately. Had to get the bike together to get it to him.
I see the orange victory is still looking good.
🥴 about that.
Is it running?
It is! A separate build that comes out next Sunday ✌🏾
@@BrandonBicasso I’ll be standing by
Awesome lil truck I had one and it’s all you need ! Another great vid
And it’s 100% purpose bought. Didn’t need anything bigger right now. 💪🏾
@@BrandonBicasso hell yea!
Looking amazing brother! Just takes me back to the people who doubted. Haha
Right 😂 They don’t know what’s coming after this at all.
Watching for the chief. And then....I notice the habanero in the background. You're killin me dude 😁
Good looking scoot, clean, old style fat bob..well done!
The ramp walk 😮😅! Love the video.
Add a wheel chuck. Definitely you know it’s going no where. Trust me. Bringing home my Ninja with the kickstand down, it fell $600 in plastic damage. Unnecessary damage but it was my first time doing it. Glad yours worked out better.
There’s always a learning curve somewhere in experience 😅
IT'S ALIVE!
DR. BICASSO STRIKES AGAIN!
😎💪🏾
Dude nothing but love for what you do with these bikes. Love watching your channel. Big fan
Thanks Jimmy 😎💪🏾
Get a winch from harbor freight. Extend the winch controller. Mount it to the back of the truck and just winch it up the ramp. It’s allot easier when alone.
That’s a first thought I’ve seen. Hmm 🤔
Lloyds makes a supercharger for Indians. Just in case you were wondering. That magnum in the background sure is nice.
He doesn’t anymore last time I checked. Cost/demand.
Been a huge fan of your channel Brandon, seeing where you started and where you are now is super inspiring. Keep going, keep learning. Also reach out to other builder channels. For the Bold is another one I really watch a lot, he's in UK I believe. Also 0:48, damn those socks brah.....lol
Def will check’em out. These socks are custom 😂💪🏾 Love’em.
@@BrandonBicasso haha
Bicasso, if only you could make a t- shirt with that wonderful smile of yours. That would be a great merch for the channel
🤣🤣 that can be arranged
@@BrandonBicasso If you ever do, pls do it in monochrome, next thing Indian motorcycles needs you to be their ambassador. 😁😀
I'm ready to throw my hat in for a chance to win this one. I didn't win the first one, but I'll give it another go. That thing is coming along nicely. :)
haven't watched in a while that bike is looking mean and clean
So much fun to watch. You said you have a chassis fault ? And that air pressure Ryobi tool. !! Maybe a long bed truck might have been a bit more useful. But, Please keep the videos coming !!
Gidday Mate from Australia, love watching you work on these bikes. i have a 2012 Triumph Bonneville T100. Cheers Mate.
Thanks for dropping in, Rod ✌🏾
Looking good... a little trick is to put a step side box to the left that you can step on as you throttle it up the ramp :-)
Right. I had it off camera to show it can be done without it. 😅
YES! Big inspirational!
Sweet, congrats "B"
I love it keep pressing forward my brother
Congrats, Dude !!!
Looks good & it runs. Scared to death when you were loading/unloading ! That's definitely a 2-man job & you did it, but don't push your luck. The odds are it'll run out when you least expect it. I'll keep watching....
Truuuue. Always a when something happens. A slip up
Great stuff brother. Big shoutout from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe!
Thanks Fam 🙌🏾
If it’s anything like a car a wheel speed sensor will make the abs malfunction happened to me a few times
Yep, they work hand in hand. Wheel speed sensor makes the calculation on how fast the tires are rotating and the abs module gets that info from the ECM to make decisions under braking.
Man, that is one beautiful looking and sounding bike ... well done
Mate I thought you were going to lose it, next time you get it up on the ute, try getting the rear end lower down in a gutter and the ramp and the bike on ground almost level in relation to the tray and you’ll get the ramp more parallel to the tray and you’ll find it a whole lot easier.
Truuue. That’s why I used my backyard. The rear end didn’t get as low as I wanted but we got it done. Lessons learned.
If you’ve got new wheel speed sensors, you may need to do a relearn procedure. A wheel speed sensor issue will cause the ABS code
They aren’t new, but that def could be the problem. Had to do something similar on a FTR when plugging in the throttle.
Dope bike! Only thing I don’t like about Indians is that rear fender. Can’t help but think how much better it would look with a little chop, mostly in that side wall.
Wow, man! Beautiful bike.🙂
That’s a sweet ranger!
I think so too! I love it!
Man I sure due love my trailer . Nice bike btw
That ramp maneuver was spooky My guy The Kung Fu Hop at the end was fearless much respect 💪🏿
Ima trip one day 😭🤣
Good I love this bike
Gawd that bike is looking sweeeet and that motor hahah nice !
Love the content and appreciate the anxiety with loading. Double/folding ramps can help you walk the bike up at the same height for better control, but I understand the expense involved. Maybe you could rig a 2x6 to clip on to the tailgate as a 'walker' plate on the cheap... 😋
Dude I had an anxiety attack watching you load that bike? Hahaha😂
🤣🤣🤣
The little ranger that could
How in the heck did you get that up that ramp as a one person job? I kept thinking...the cameraman needs to help! Holy cow! Much respect! I feel lame now for the things where I've asked family to help. Ha! I can't believe how easy you made it look to back it off the ramp. No way in hell I would have tried that, especially alone.
Man... So beutifull back yard... I like it
Sounds nice.
Man. Bicasso. I was scared when you put the bike on the back of the truck by yourself. Also. That isn’t one of the recalled kickstands is it. 😅
I’m not sure if it is or not but it retracts like it’s supposed to. 😂 The fuel pump might be on the recall list tho.
This bike is amazing!!
I think I prefer the silver levers.. They had a nice contrast...
I feel that. I debated on several colors and kept it a simple black flake. That’s why I keep the fenders and tank white so the frame could stand out more.
The pride the proud the Bicasso
You need to get another ramp that you can stand on as you go up
Looks good.
Welcome to the ffr club
Wonderful !
Nice ride man.
Dude this bike is sick 👊🏼🧨
The rear guard looks better bolted to the swing arm style tho☮️
Milk crate makes a fair loading step.😉
That’s too easy. 😮💨
I cheat and use a second ramp. So much easier.
Dude! That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
To be fair, I stood at the ramps in the store and said, “Nah, this one will do. I’m not spending another $80 for a second ramp.” We wouldn’t have this conversation if I used two ramps 😅. Plus, it shows (as others have), it can be done with one. I’m all about showing how to do things with less resources. So, for those that don’t know how to drive with a trailer on the back, maybe loading it directly in the bed is enough. ✌🏾😎
@@BrandonBicasso I had a full size pickup truck and it was hairy with one ramp. I needed someone else to help. Two ramps were safer. The Ranger is lower however. And btw, those Rangers are tough little trucks.
Love your videos... I have been watching you transport bikes. I was wondering if you heard of "Canyon Dancers" straps? They make two types, one with some cups for the grips and some without (without my fav). I think they were a great find for myself. anyhow just thought I would throw that out there. I have nothing to do with them but love that I have them now...
Looks beautiful Brandon. Hoping to get my first Indian in the next year. Just sold my Ducati monster. Would love the chief bobber dark horse but will probably be out of my price range
The only way to make loading in a bed work in this manner (without sweating and freaking out) is to mount a winch in the bed that will pull the bike up for you the rest of the way (or the entire way).
Who said I freaked out?
@@BrandonBicasso - I freaked out lol - the entire time watching this I was thinking about all the ways it could go wrong for me if i tried to load my old sportster into my F150 that way lol. You seem alot more cooler/calmer/collected than I am - I would have probably cussed every cuss word and sweared up and down until it ogt up there and then the reverse on unloading.
Subbe'd and love the videos by the way.
Why is torquing the bolts down so satisfying to me. LOL Great Vid as always Brandon you're getting pretty good at the rebuilds Bicasso Garage soon?
Harbor freight has a wheel chalk that you can bolt into the back of the bed
I don’t want it bolted to the bed as we use the truck for other shenanigans 😂.
nice work !
Great video! Man I don't like loading and unloading motorcycles, you made it look easy.
A man needs a truck!🛻👍😎
Seriously tho.
You gotta put a black stripe on the fender
It’s my boy Brandon B!!!!
Yo Yo 😎
Maybe for those wheels is needed stock Chief Bobber bearings due to different ABS sensors?
The correct bearings are installed with the toner rings 👌🏾. Great thought tho as it’s an easy oversight 💭
Great videos!
🏝 Good job... Respect🏝
I use a bucket to step on before I climb up to the bed.
From 🇱🇰 srilanka 🤝❤️
Thanks Fam! 🫶🏾
🤔 if memory serves me right, that’s the same shop you told me about around the time I was picking my bike up back in October
Yep.
@@BrandonBicasso that’s awesome 🤩….. I’m really glad it’s working out for him.
I wish you and yours the best keep it straight don't run with bad people remember your loved ones
Thanks Jackie 🙌🏾
