- This channel is dedicated to all of the other ‘tits in a shed’ out there. Unlike many RUclipsrs and ‘influencers’ out there, my motivation for this channel is not to be on RUclips. Bikes are a hobby for me and I love my hobby and it is a welcome distraction from, lets face it, the rest of the real world.
For me, this channel is a welcome by-product of my hobby. While, in contrast to a busy personal/professional life, I love the relative solitude of ‘titting around in a shed’. RUclips allows me to share it, gain insight from others and, just as importantly seek help when I get stuck or mess something up.
It might surprise you that there is no Patreon link in this speal as it is where most people stash it. I don’t have Patreon and nor do I have any intention in starting one. This is my hobby and I don’t see why I should try and get money out of others to do so. My channel is monetised which brings a tiny income but that is mainly because RUclips put adverts in anyway; why not use it to by carb cleaner once a month! You may also notice that very rarely come out with the ‘click like and subscribe’ comment either. This probably doesn’t do the channels slow growth a great deal of good either but I find it annoying when other RUclipsrs do it all the time.
All I ask is some interaction. If you like what you see, please let me know. If you know a better way of doing something or spot (one of many) mistakes, then drop me a comment and help me or others doing a similar task do it better next time.
Above all, I am Nat and welcome to my nackers yard. I hope you enjoy the journey.
P.S. I know that Nackers should start with a K to describe the old horse yards but NKY sounded a bit too much like a lube!
Those shims are very similar to Triumph Sprint ones Nat , luckily I only had 1 out of spec ,as for the tank maybe you can get a cheap Chinese one similar and it would save you a lot of hassle👍
Only one complaint Nat, the sound levels were all over the place, mainly your commentary. It was so low I nearly shat myself when a ad cropped up (at full volume) Otherwise, nice progress.
might be time for one of those emergency power pwacks mate, they are quite cheap now. Keep up the effort, so good to see a real tinkerer,warts and all.All the best mate👍
These bikes are fighting Nat. Will be worth it in the end though mate.
🏍👍
For what it's worth, I'd go for a "new" tank, but then I probably don't have as much patience as your good self........
❤😂😭🤢😡❤️👍🛠
Do yourself a favor and pull the plugs before turning the crank
