      The Channel brings an awesome vibe to its viewers, which is why they've got over 100K subs. Looking forward to seeing his 100K Play Button being revealed! They both certainly deserve every good fortune that comes their way, and he's one smart frugal cookie. They'll go places for sure. Great comment Brabus! Cheers! Zip~

      They don't have an amazing connection at all, they have got something that looks fake and wreaks of desperation. All the lame, lame jokes are utterly forced and never funny despite him fake laughing at them. These guys, him especially are either really not very bright or else they are on some medications because they aren't natural or typical people.

    It makes me happy to see that all things are possible. I am only 25 years old, and I always dream of such happiness and simplicity. I love my wife to death but I wish we didn't get caught up in this life like the rest of the society does. I love how free willed you guys are, squeezing every bit of fun out of everything and all you need is each other. Moral support is the most magical thing your significant other could ever do. Feeling appreciated and important for the little things you can accomplish, putting a smile on the other's face. Simple love is the best type of love, and our society makes it complicated. I love mechanics, I love good people, I love knowledge and simplicity. I've seen two of your guy's videos and how you guys interact and I feel like I know you from the day I was born, its crazy. Keep making videos and show the rest of the world what life should be about. You guys are awesome and I hope you two get to live a long happy life with each other. When I feel down about something I use you guys as an example of what I am worth and that this world still turns because of people like you. Wish you luck and happiness for years to come.

Remove carb and take off bowl. If kinda clean inside make sure both jets, main and low speed especially. Reassemble and see how she goes. Don't crank it or kick it to death before u do ALL of above. 12 years at motorcycle shop. 2005 are known for early crank bearing failure. Change oil a lot. Text if u need more info. Good luck.

    You should be able to find the manual online, also if your wife ever decides to want the ruckus to go faster most modern scooters can be easily hopped up by adding/removing a plate in the clutch, should allow it to go up to 45mph, which after she feels confident on it will make it more fun for her. I'm glad you got a good deal on the scooter as decent runnin bikes seem to go for about 1k$ & Hondas are reliable & long lasting. Good luck & may you have many years of fun & safe riding

    Awesome video. My first impression of how it ran when you first got it going was due to the lack of oil in the cylinder. Maybe there's some stuff I didn't see that was done off camera, but a great tip for anyone starting a motor after sitting a substantial length of time is to take out the plug, drop a tad of oil or WD-40 in the compression chamber, and crank. What a great find!

    I mean no respect what so ever so please dont read me wrong.
    But your wife has a really beautiful smile man. Pretty cool how you have her around for small projects like these together. Would love to have mine around like this from time to time.. specially when the heavy loading comes around 😁😂🤣

    You guys are so much fun to watch! Always laughing and smiling-at least on camera. Lol. Looking forward to more from you guys. Hey, more Shasta vids, man. My GF and I just got a ‘69 Terry camper (fixer upper) so your vids are a tutorial for me. Take care and have fun.
