    I'm only going to say this once. Okay once on each of these sites(Matt's Off Road Recovery, Fab Rats, Robby Layton Nation, Bleepinjeep, Chads Fab, Bikes and Beards, & Mischief TV). I have watched over the last 6 months something that is truly hard to put into words and believe me I like to talk. Manhour wise you've created for Ed the worlds most expensive Suzuki along with Rokon and custom trailer on the planet however, it isn't about the monetary value of what you've done for him. With the divide that has been going on in this nation I have been blessed to watch a group of friends who have been blessed in their life to pass along their appreciation for someone who has been a valuable existence in their life. It does give me hope for the human race. I have no idea how I ended up on the MORR channel but, it led me to all of your channels so YT did a good job there. While watching this story across your channels I have learned so much in the fields that each of you specialize in. You guys make stuff look so easy(of course with editing, lol). I give a big shout out to Matt for setting all of this up. I even think the Robby Layton crew might have a hit song on their hands. "The Sound of Sanding" The work that each and everyone of you have done including the shirts and book and replacing what you found in the truck is pretty darn special so thank you very much. If I don't plan a road trip to Utah to meet most of you then I might be out of my mind.

It was awesome, I would run it up and down the cliffs of coal city hollow in north east Alabama on the Tennessee state line. It would climb anything, at least from the perspective of a six year old. I loved that thing. But dad's friend wanted it and that was that. I've dreamed of getting that monster back for over 40years. Watching you guys work on that really makes the memories flood back.

    You has seen and now own a Rokon. They are the best thing ever. They go places a Jeep can not. They are a Goat on tires. They can go anywhere you want. Power to to max with them. Like Ed even said. It drives slower than you walk. At Ed's claim he could go anywhere he wanted with this thing. And just point and that direction was rough terrain. He went on the Rokon. And made it many times.
    I think what all of you involved are some very special and very Blessed people. God Bless and keep it up.

I was young and stupid and should have taken a shop class in HS. I should have paid more attention and spent more time with my Dad because he was a good shade-tree mechanic. But unless you follow a process like you two are doing you just don't know how involved and how precise a rebuild must be to get things in working order. My hat is off for your efforts.

      a pair is two.
      hand me those pliers.
      is how I ask for one.
      you ask me for a pair my butler will bring you two.
      what does a pair of ones equal?
      two
      must be the public schooling programs

    Sean, don't pull a pull start until it stops! That's the way you break the rope. Make a bunch of continuous short pulls and stop well before the end of the rope pull and the engine will start quicker. Quick, shorter brth, brth, brth, style pulls until the engine starts. {I'm aware that sentence is lame, but without being there to show you what I mean, it was the best I could do :-*} This from a guy who broke a few starter ropes on his two stroke gas powered tools who learnt the hard way. Good luck and God Bless! Congrats to Dan!

    Pliers are like pants, they come in pairs. I put on my pants, and I use pliers.
    Either is correct, and I say it both ways "hand me those pliers, I need a pair of pliers". But I would never refer to them in the singular. They are NOT "a plier".

    Calling Robby Layton, “the Layton kid” and your other comments are very insulting toward Robby Layton and his team and show that you don’t know what your are talking about. Based on your comments, I am certain that Robby knows far more than you will ever know about painting and body repair of any type of vehicle. If you took the time to watch more of Robby’s detailed videos you would learn what a professional and perfectionist he is. He and his team may clown around for the camera but their work quality and attention to detail is impeccable. Check out his recent videos on painting the Golden Nugget or Mischief Maker. I believe the plan is to have the Rokon match the color of the Golden Nugget and the custom trailer built by TomTom and Lizzie for the Rokon.

    I sure hope that crank is still balanced after seeing how those bearings were pressed in. Usually you would brace the crank from the bottom side of the counter weight your applying the bearing to so you don’t squeeze the crankshaft unevenly

    It’s the same as a super pro 125 McCulloch you can get those condensers in points also if it’s an old enough Mac 1010 the condenser will work I have that same bike I was laughing when you guys were working on the starter I knew what was wrong Rachel guys and happy Easter I’m watching it today

    When I was a kid I had a Fox go-cart with that motor. Two summers of odd jobs to save the $50 price. But it was fast. Two Tillotson carbs. Then one day the cops swung by and we couldn't run it on the road any more. So we ran it in the dirt - without air cleaners. We got really good at changing those roller bearings on the crank pin.

    To saturate a part in a liquid like the mud flap, I use a large zip lock bag. It doesn’t require much liquid product when you push all of the air out. 👍👍👍

    You must heat up those cases before you set in those bearings it can danmge the chrank,and you have to use an support plate or frame to set those bearings on the chrank it can easil bend in that press

    Ed's going to love it. By the time you guys and then Robbie gets finished it will be better than new. Too bad it doesn't have a starter, might not be as easy for him to pull it like the last time he used it. A starter would be hard to rig up on that little engine.

    Ey, neatsfoot oil! Got a jug just like that for some leather-work/restoration. Haven't used it yet.
    Maybe that guard is vinyl? The texture/stiffness remind me of old vinyl from my Bug's upholstery.
    16:30 (ish) Huh, weird audio dip, thought my audio cord came loose. Glad it didn't persist!
