It would be funny if you got a hold of Paul Jr and had him secretly help you and then at the reveal he jumps out and him and his dad throw chairs at each other lol.
He also handed Paul Sr the victory. Paul Sr May be out of his element with Japanese bikes, but he doesn't have a shortage of options. Especially at that price point
I appreciate that you made sure the seller was making a profit. You prove time and time again that you don't have to screw people over to be successful
Gotta be cafe racer style for the triumph imo, how about restomod? upside down forks, clip ons, ohlins reservoir rear shocks, mv augusta or similar front light, classic cafe racer hump fairing on the rear, modern 3 or 5 spoke wheels, cnc rear sets, shorty pipe.
Paul Sr. Seems to have really chilled out getting older… my dad did the same thing. All the stress isn’t worth it in life. It’s easier to let things go and smile more often.
I think discovery was also just really good at showing us all the drama and craziness cause that’s what sells. Sr definitely had his fair share of anger issues but i doubt his day to day life was as full of it as the show lead us to believe.
Yet he still takes things too seriously. He is just insufferable; even if a situation was perfect - he would find something wrong with it, even if he had to make it happen. That fire is something else completely and by the looks of the restaurant and the expanding shop - I 'd say he still has that and is applying it better than that TV show ever did.
Thanks for not taking the easy route with this build-off. Very interested is seeing what you can do with a bike that most would write off as a total loss.
@@BikesandBeardsI got a better bike than that I'll donate I just don't have a title for it clean vin located in noble Oklahoma it's a 79 Yamaha xs1100 was being turned into a hard tail bobber needs minor work to run
@@BikesandBeards It's funny what camera angles can do. You look like a Monster standing next to Paul Senior! He might as well be a baby trying to be all bad😊
In my day (70's) the engine and main part of frame was all that was used to build a chopper. Wiring and plumbing all added after frame finished. Good luck.
Good on Paul for taking a misunderstanding or mild criticism, and facing it and doing this. Shows he doesn't take himself to seriously and has class. Good on ya'll too.
The burnt aspect might be a blessing. If you're going to build something custom you'd probably need to fab new lines and harness anyway, this way you can focus on the structure then run lines and electrical around that. Be creative, go crazy. Make it spit flames, since it came from the fire let it bring the fire! +
Sean, The bonneville was a traditionally chopped bike. My dad had a 72 bonneville with a king/queen seat and sissy bar with an extended front end. I remember it fondly. Thanks for the awesome content. I bought my first bike after watching your review of the triumph Thunderbird. Rock on!

This is a situation that's seen a lot in companies turned tv show. People tend to change personalities to make the show better. Usually, once you get them away from the cameras, the real them comes back out and they usually are pretty good people.
@@scenic871 True although it would seem the beef with Jr is real, unfortunately. I really hate that for them because I wouldn't trade the relationship with my dad for the world.
I had one of those that I put a sportster peanut tank, 9” extended springer front end, spool front wheel with no brake and low z bars. Such a simple clean cool build. Everyone love it. No speedometer. Only 2 switches, ignition and lights.
That Norton electric bike in your storage was quite impressive. Most EVs have at least some "phantom drain" on the battery that would have "bricked" the battery within two years if not plugged into a wall outlet during that time. The fact that you still have 99% full battery after 2 years makes me want to go out and buy one of those.
Order a simple wiring kit for a chopper and a triumph hardtail kit, pull that engine out, clean up and chop the frame, hire a welder, throw it together, disassemble, paint, reassemble and win.
These "modern classic" 865 Twins obviously lend themselves to Cafe Racer, Bobber and Scrambler Builds. Triumph basically offered those styles from the factory (Thruxton, Bonneville Bobber, Scrambler) All of the above types of build could also work really well with a "rat" bike style imho. But they also have been done A LOT - I don't know what that and a rat bike style (which is not exactly flashy) would mean for your chances at winning. It would mean TONS of resources and hopefully easier to source parts and stuff. There are two types of builds I always thought would be great for a modern classic from Triumph. A Bonneville build that looks like one of the bikes used for the early land speed records - the ones that don't look like spaceships. After all, that is where the Bonneville got her name. Or a 60s, 70s, or maybe even 80s race bike style fully fared build. (Yes, i know the XSR900 exists.) Both, especially the latter, way harder to do. Personally I'd love to see a rat bike "crispy critter" Bobber or Cafe Racer - Keep as much patina (aka damage XD) as possible and just make it nice to ride. Disclaimer: My only Qualification is being European and having owned & ridden Triumphs (including '04 865 Thruxton)
Funny, I just emailed them pics of some 1959 Bonneville's. Cafe racer would be great, a blast to the past kind of thing, but it has been done a lot. They don't have a lot to spend and parts are plenty.
It's real hard to say this channel is about motorcycles. And no, Sean. YOU have to build this thing. No CAD designers, no Craig shilling, no I-know-a-buddy-who-can's. YOU have to do it.
It would be so cool to just embrace the fire that this bike has been in. Include it in the design, meybe some melted plastic parts, dripping stuff, it would give it so much character, definitely one of a kind opportunity
Maybe not so much keeping melted parts for aesthetic but he could hands down preserve the paint job with the scorching and carbonized burn spots. Otherwise a brand new realistic on fire or smoldering paint job would be epic just because of the story and still allow the bike to look pristine
I have the same idea, I think it would be cool with a burnt melted type theme, after all how often you see a burnt up melted motorcycle as a show piece that runs and rides, I hope he uses the idea
I love the dynamic between Sr and Mike. Sr with the no-nonsense attitude, and Mike is just a true gentleman!... you guys need a TV series doing bike build offs
Being british and of that age I grew up around triumph choppers really looking forward to seeing how it goes My personal favorite style for a Triumph custom is a flat tracker but had a couple of traditional chopper Triumphs over the years
I usually buy a wrecked or completely basket case motorcycle and build it once a year. I am broke with a budget of 1k I got a great idea love to help. But I don't know what cad is I'm just a stupid truck driver. This is awesome love the crossover. GOD BLESS you guys
shhh, don't ruin the surprise when he finds out actual capacity of that battery ie A⋅h, not just simple voltage which is what that 99% measures which tells almost nothing about actual capacity of a battery
I really think you should find a way to keep some of the fire damage in the final design, it will help add story and an artistic flare to the final piece.
I am totally excited about the bike build challenge and I totally agree with you not to mess up a fully functional bike, but I am honestly in doubt that the structural parts e.g. like the frame and the fork kept their strength after the heat impact. Are you going to make sure that the parts you are going to reuse are in adequate (technical, metallurgical) condition? For example the handlebar and attachments, I would directly throw these away. These are safety critical. Same with the fork bridges. Maybe also the fork itself... Nothing much left to be used to my opinion. At the other hand, if the bike is not going to take miles and just designated to be a showpiece that doesn't matter. Excited to follow your build! Thanks for sharing.
First and most importantly, I really appreciate your videos and being open about you being a Christian , thank you for Believing, now just an idea for the bike build, how about going with the burnt look, think a ghost rider theme , just a thought, no matter what you do, it’ll be great! Thanks again and God Bless
With a possible usable engine, solid frame, you can basically do anything with that without ruining its pedigree. The fire beat you to it. You can Frankenstein it without wrecking anything.
Always love seeing your videos , very educative, I'm really blessed only God knows how much I praise him, getting $100k bi weekly and I’m retired now. I’ve got a good cash and can also support my family
That bike is crispy on the outside and has that roached out patina look, but on the inside is a diamond in the rough. I'm sure Shaun will come through with flying colors on this build.
Hey thanks for the shoutout to Grindhard, neighbors of ours up here in the mountains of Northern Idaho! Also God bless the late *GREAT* Rabbit Rob Pitts: "Weel seeya nex tahm ohn Rabbits Euuuzed Cores!"
Gotta say I'm excited for Paul Sr to build a metric bike. And I respect that you DIDN'T go with a BMW because although they make some of the best cafe racer builds (and bobber build for the R1200C), it's kinda of.....overdone lol Looking forward to see what you can do with a British bike. Funny enough, the only thing you CAN'T do with it is turn it into a cafe racer, cause then it would just be stock XD
This is a pretty bike to build something out of it. Not that I ever did, but having watched all episodes of OCC jr vs. sr series - how hard can it be. Fat_guy_on_couch_noises. Can´t wait to see the build off and your next videos. Cheers!
its not the fire damage you need to worry about ( engines are used to heat ) its the water damage to put the fire out is the real killer of Engines. High preasure water can usually find a way into an engine especially when the seals have been melted away like the carb boots etc. Drop that oil and check there first
You're making me like Paul Sr. for the first time. I can tell he likes to give you crap but, I think he admires what you do. He really respects you guys.
The Bonnie is a great starting point. It has such a nice stance. I wish I could find one for 1200. I've built a few bikes in my time... I'd go with an enclosed aluminium plate retro look. Don't know what you're gonna do with it but I weirdly hope it includes a belly-pan 🤣
Think about the theme of the build. Build the frame and fit the engine/trans into the frame. Build your specialties that the theme requires. One step at a time. Do some drawings and have working measurements for the powerplant and the rider height. Go from there!
I was genuinely happy to see the Paul Sr. Isn’t the man I expected to see on our channel. He really was congenial honest and funny. That was one of my favorite videos on our channel. I’ve been a fan since P.A. and it was just pretty much a couple of guys messing around with bikes and “ Quotes from the Bible” that I really like.
While taking on that bike just as a channel project might have been fun I think using it as the basis for your build-off bike is a mistake. That thing needs a full tear down to bare frame, inspection/repair/refurb of every single component and only then can you start putting it back together. That's a LOT of work for something that is supposed to be the basis for a build project.
Great stuff! Cosmetically, I’d clean it up, smooth it out and clear coat it. Keep the house fire look for a unique paint scheme / story. This is a fun one with 3 of my fav motorcycle guys to watch. Can’t wait to see the finished project!✝️🇺🇸
Burned Bike < Wrecked Bike < Parts Bike < Non-Running Bike. If your cylinder is warped from the heat -it is a goner. You can get a wrecked bike at an auto auction for $100+. That Triumph was pretty cool though. I would have made it into a narrow and light chopper, cut the pipes and extended them massively. -Basically a British Cafe Chopper type design, mini chop style with some British Flair, but keeping it light. Using all the Triumph logos, saving the tank extending it. Maybe extending the frame with a new chopper fork. Cut and widen the rear of frame for a bigger rim and tire -or at least give it the look you did. -good luck in your build.
You guys are awesome! Even my 10 years old daughter likes to watch your videos with me since she was only 5 years old. ❤❤❤ Thanks for the great videos !
Because this bike was in a fire you should do a tribute to that. Red with flames. Maybe some metal cut to make it look like it was destroyed in the fire. But of course running like a dream.
It would be funny if you got a hold of Paul Jr and had him secretly help you and then at the reveal he jumps out and him and his dad throw chairs at each other lol.
LOL!!!!!
THAT WOULD BE MONEY
That would be hilarious 😂
Maybe not too cool tho 😅
Best comment on the internet today!!!!
Paul Teutul Jr!!! Where are you to get under your dad’s skin again!!!
You literally picked the WORST bike on facebook marketplace.
That's his secret to success. Start out with a hopeless situation, and, at the worst, everyone gets a good laugh!
An absolute piece...🎉
I loved that BMW r1200c he found at the beginning. He should've at least reached out on that. But to be fair that's not good YT content lol
😂
He also handed Paul Sr the victory. Paul Sr May be out of his element with Japanese bikes, but he doesn't have a shortage of options. Especially at that price point
All I could think is, "Poor Craig has to build 2 bikes!" 🤣🤣🤣
I was seriously thinking how was he going to do this! 😂
Exactly I was picturing Craig coming on camera in a disguise and introduced as a fake name 🤣
Haha, no kidding. No offense bikes and beards
That’s his nighttime helper, Greg. Sean gets Greg to help as well as Greg helping Craig.

Was thinking kind of the same. In a British racing green and beige leather finish would look elegant
That’s really all you need. Two wheels, a frame, an engine and a gas tank and of course handlebars and you’re in business.
Don’t sell out and not design it yourself. They are doing their thing. You do yours.
Love the Krispy kritter. Perfect template for something badass with some character. Like a Phoenix from the ashes
Have a blue bmw R1200C that was flooded. Was running prior to flood and has been sitting in trailer since flood. Perfect build bike.

Good luck on the build off! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of that BW 350!
Having seen Craig's bike, and now having just watched Paul snr unveil his bike, I'm afraid to say you are in trouble!! LOL
Hopefully, craig buys hey indian and builds it because I think they're cool.Looking bikes
While taking on that bike just as a channel project might have been fun I think using it as the basis for your build-off bike is a mistake. That thing needs a full tear down to bare frame, inspection/repair/refurb of every single component and only then can you start putting it back together. That's a LOT of work for something that is supposed to be the basis for a build project.
I’m excited to see what u guys do with that bike
Who is doing your build you or your friends only we is mentioned a lot on getting it done !!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love you Big Paul ❤
I LOVE the craigs viewers hooked him up bc we all love him so much hahaha
I doubt he will finish it in time ... 🤣
Great stuff! Cosmetically, I’d clean it up, smooth it out and clear coat it. Keep the house fire look for a unique paint scheme / story. This is a fun one with 3 of my fav motorcycle guys to watch. Can’t wait to see the finished project!✝️🇺🇸
Burned Bike < Wrecked Bike < Parts Bike < Non-Running Bike. If your cylinder is warped from the heat -it is a goner. You can get a wrecked bike at an auto auction for $100+.
That Triumph was pretty cool though. I would have made it into a narrow and light chopper, cut the pipes and extended them massively. -Basically a British Cafe Chopper type design, mini chop style with some British Flair, but keeping it light. Using all the Triumph logos, saving the tank extending it. Maybe extending the frame with a new chopper fork. Cut and widen the rear of frame for a bigger rim and tire -or at least give it the look you did.
-good luck in your build.
Paul needs to toss an H2 motor into a chopper frame...LOL
this build is going to be lit.!!!
Paul Sr has his bike already and it is Badass . He has a bike and it runs and rides. 😂
You guys are awesome! Even my 10 years old daughter likes to watch your videos with me since she was only 5 years old. ❤❤❤
Thanks for the great videos !
I love these episodes! I went all the way to orange county just to see his HQ. I'm such a big fan of everyone involved in OCC.
Because this bike was in a fire you should do a tribute to that. Red with flames. Maybe some metal cut to make it look like it was destroyed in the fire. But of course running like a dream.
My husband has a Triumph and I can't wait to see what you do with this bike!!!
3 fuse electrical system, extended swing arm, big knobby tires and make it a hill climb racer. NO lights, no problem.
Thank you for your faithfulness with scripture 👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
