      The great thing about this channel is its diversity - personally speaking I'm far more interested in Darren's videos that show some kind of engine repair but there are some viewers who will prefer bodywork repair, a bit of welding, bike building and the like and that's cool too. There's something for everyone who likes this kind of stuff. :)

    It reminds me of an old board racer. All engine, no brakes. =-D I think this is the nicest ride you've made yet. I was trying to imagine the kid that first owned the bike. Coming down on X-mas day, and seeing this beautiful bike buy the tree. I imagine if he saw it now he would have a big ear to ear grin, and wonder why he ever let it go.
    For your next bike project, may I humbly offer the Idea of making a two cylinder bike out of a couple of Chinese four strokes. Mount a fly wheel between the two engines, and go.

    Shame that living in the UK we're not allowed to ride stuff like this on the road without them being registered, MOTd, taxed and insured. I'd love to build something like this and your other builds.... Perhaps just for show and off road use.

    Rack can be used, but aesthetically its much better without in my eyes.

    I really have enjoyed this series a ton, and it got my dad hooked on your channel as well. Too bad this was not getting the appropriate amount of love, but to each their own. Was looking forward to more bike vids in the future, but alas! Keep up the good work!

    That bike turned out nice! 👍😁I like the throaty sound of the exhaust.

    My wife and I think this is probably your best video in our opinion. She said "damn, that thing is hauling ass...for a bicycle..."
