    Was about to go for a group ride, saw the notification and clicked it, texted them told'em I'll be 9 mins late. That new tank looks amazing, and these cleaning vids are so satisfying to watch!

    Hey Cameron, I've watched you videos for the past 6 months and love them greatly. I'm learning SO MUCH and because of your vids, I've built up enough confidence to have already bought and flipped five bikes since October of last year as a means to teach my 10 yr old son to learn with me. Keep up the generosity of sharing your knowledge and experiences with the world around you!

    • @CameronNiemela

    Hey Cameron, wanted to let you know, I ended up getting my stolen bike back !! I posted it everywhere and with help from the local auto thieft detective, tips from people replying to my posts and alot of detective work on my part (I feel like I could join the agency now lol) But yeah, long story short...I got it back and I couldn't be happier !! Thank goodness for the snow and the cold or that bike would probably be dooing wheelies down the street for the past two weeks !!
    Thanks for your concern buddy and keep up the great work !! ps that new parts cleaner looks like a must, I gotta get one !!
