      Agree! Charlie's bike shed, restoring these!
      Love that!
      I do upholstery, creating and re-creating seats and interior parts on bikes and occasionally on cars, in my spare time. Rarely a common brand on my desk. For freaks, by a freak. Shall we see what i can do with these seats?!
      I have no clue how to get in touch

      @victoruldbk2561 Год назад +17

      I oddly came here to write the same and yet not really - as someone around Charlie’s age but without a dad to share common passions with, any content with them both properly warms my heart.

      I lost my father when I was 11, so I never got to share this kind of stuff together although he was, and I am a petrolhead. So really good to watch Harry and Charlie working for each other.

    Seeing Harry and Charlie just bombing down to Germany in a van doing 110mph to get some bikes and not even caring that they had to sleep in a van, what a fantastic little adventure and story to have. 😎 I am envious. Well done, and by all means keep the restoration and adventure videos coming, no matter the vehicle! 👍👍

    I'm not a bike person in the slightest, but I want to see Charlie restore this bike. I would like to see Charlie do some of the roadtests with you Harry and get his opinions on things, you two would make a great pair of roadtesters comparing notes, it just adds another dimension to the channel. I'm sure others would agree. 👍👍

    I ’d love to watch the rebuild. In 1992 my band The Goldenrods in San Francisco put a single out, "Barbwire Chair",
    with "Cagiva Elephant" (sp) as the B-side (Harp Records, Harp 004). One of my favourite bikes at the time; there were a few 750s around town. Very capable in the Mendocino forest fire roads. :)

  • @garethjackson6139
