I love that our man Ed doesn't have a tape measure around. You can tell that he's just not that type of guy. He builds his own stuff, does his own mods. He's got plenty of string around incase he feels the need to measure
I would highly recommend people to watch your videos not just to learn about bikes but how to drive them safely. You guys generally drive within the local speed limits and drive defensively when it comes to other vehicles. Keep up the good work as there are other U-Tubers on here that speed , drive between two lanes of cars and ride in the wrong lanes and laugh about what laws they are breaking. Thanks guys for the good display of bike riding ! Oh and your little passages from the Bible are Ok !
Thats Edward! I met this guy at DMV one day. He was talking about fixing a motorcycle to another guy. Of course I Jumped into the conversation, and before it was over, the guy grabbed my information saying he does regular motorcycle rides with an email invitation list. Really nice guy.
Love your show, I'm from South Africa, I'm into cars, had 2 big bike crashes so it was time to stop, miss it n lot. I very nice to see Christian show without overdoing it, love the verses you put in. P. S. This is my first ever review of any show, so thanks for the great show.
Check out Fire Aero. It was made in California and worked on this same principle. The complete motorcycle minus the front forks docked into a custom frame with a VW beetle front end, widened by 6 inches. Any Japanese 4 cylinder motorcycle would work. The company would build the appropriate frame to fit the motorcycle in question. Those things were fast and handled like it was on rails. I visited the builder in Ca., and went for a spin. Awesome!!
Everyone in high school, called me " Mike on the bike", my first ride, my 71 rd 350. Yrs later, back on em a lot now. Sean, you are the motorcycle man, on youtube.
I just recently found your channel but I love how you include some bible verses. Ed was awesome completely open and honest about what he’s done and what you’re working with and willing to help you get it taken apart and get it loaded and hospitable.
Love your videos! I can’t stop watching every one of them! Hands down best bike videos on RUclips!!! Love your sense of humor and the guys you work with are awesome!
Wow! Could you imagine switching out the original re-end with an entire motorcycle haha. how cool. P.S. Hey Sean! I just want to say that my i've recently been going through some really hard times and dealing with mental issues. I usually watch your videos every single day and love your content! I really love reading the bible passages you put in your videos and they have also spoken to me greatly. But today the passage you chose of Matthew 7:12. I wont get into it but the passage really spoke to me more than usual and i would just like to say thank you for choosing it I really feel like this video was meant for me to see. God bless and thank the lord for giving us his son on this easter. and bless this old man for his crazy cool contraption. Man is it cool, I cant wait to see you're video on it. If i had one of these i would totally try to replicate this haha.
loved the trex. Rode most of my life but being a DAV and getting up in my years im unable to do so any more. Thats why something like the trex would be great for me. I also loved that bike that looked like a jet fighter. Not many of those around .
I like that your trailers license plate is “XMN” as you talk to Terry Austin, one of the bigger artists to work on the X-Men comic book. Also, if you ever want to make an inker mad, say that they “just trace over the penciler’s lines”. But beware; things may get thrown at you. 🤣
Find a reed valve 80's 250cc 2 stroke dirtbike or the back of a Banshee 4wheeler, anything 2-stroke. Reed valves are the best:top end rebuild 3-5 layers of pop can. They are explosion processing harmonicas.
Vulcan 2000 V-twin low rpm so its not screaming in your ear, boat loads of low end torque to get you started and water cooling at least the heads. I have something like this, it has a v65 Magna plugged in the back. Its water cooled so over heating isn't a issue but the high revving engine is like nails on a chalk board. and it's right in your ear. A big low RPM motor will be a lot more relaxing to cruse in. And just so you know people will come up to chat every time you stop. Just a thought. Enjoy!!!!!!!
Great video as usual, seemed like a really cool dude. Most would prob recommend the usual liter bike engines but I would like to see a vrod engine. I like what one of the other commenters said, name it the “Rex Rod” lol. Paint it black with orange stripes and call it a “Rex Rod special” lol. Plus it is also liquid cooled, don’t have to worry about over heating.
You need to do a cheapest and most expensive Amazon roadtrip. Like a long distance trip with 2 riders both using only gear from Amazon, but with 2 very different budgets
I don't know, but i love your channel, man! Pretty laid back, fun, every day people. It's such a revelation as compared to all those other channels which mostly just want to sell you something. Keep up the good work, friends!!
Try Plexis on that windshield. Not sure how well it will clean it up but it was designed for the plexiglass windshields on fighter jets. We use it on our headlights but it works best if you use it a couple times a year to prevent plexiglass from getting cloudy or yellow. Can get it right on Amazon.
I met some people in upstate New York back in the 70s and they were friendlier than anyone I ever met in the south. I would LOVE to have something like this. I ended up getting a VW powered trike instead.
In the 80’s (maybe early 90’s), Popular Mechanics published the plans to build a “Magnum”. You used the front end of an old VW bug and the rear/engine of a Honda gold wing (72-73 was preferred then due to their automatic transmissions). If you did it right, you could build a trike from the remaining parts. My grandfather built one. I got to drive it, sitting on ply-wood, steering with a metal bar that he shoved through the steering column, while he controlled the throttle with a pair of vice-grips 😂 Everyone thought he was crazy… now you buy one from a dealership.
Can't wait to see what you put on that thing!! I'm struggling with a ground wire issue on my boulevard. As soon as I get that fixed and it warms up a lil I want to get down to your shop to check it out!!
@@BikesandBeards I haven't had much time to get looking yet. The moment I turn the key I lose power in the main power wire going to the ignition key switch. I know it's something pinched or a bad connection. I just have to find it lol.
You see so many ultra lightweight kit cars and track day cars with 'busa engines. That's probably your easiest option but why not go for something completely different- see if you can find an old wrecked vmax as an engine donor or maybe (if you can find one) turbo a bandit 1200 engine for a shed load of torque.
With a Honda CB 250 / Honda Rebel 250, you'll be able to go 45-50MPH perhaps. Put a twin 500cc engine, and the top speed is closer to 75-80MPH. If you want it to be road worthy on interstates, you'll need at least a 750cc. If you don't want to die in it, perhaps a 250 is more than enough. A suzuki tu 250x has the most simple and small 250 engine around. Not a lot of power, but can be extremely fuel efficient!
@0:01 It is a basic skillset of a dealer to get himself good deals. Normally, for the price of a T-Rex, you can get a nifty Ariel Atom. ;) @14:22 How about the flat six of a Honda Rune/Honda Valkyrie? Alternatively, a Suzuki SV1000 engine. :)
Hyabusa engine!! But seriously I've always wanted a t-rex when I first saw it at the NYC auto show...about 23 years ago but who's counting. Any bike motor would be good as long as it's reliable. Can't wait to see you finish it
That trike is the nuts! Lol But please change the handle bars for a steering wheel as with them bars they could cause a bit of an injury. As far as an engine for the trike, I've seen them over here in the UK fitted with a BMW 1000cc engine which makes them quite interesting or any similar engine.
Funny when you met the neighbor and said his name I had to listen again. my Dad is Terry Austin but from WV and is the sheriff of our county. Really enjoyed the video. New subscriber
I love your videos. unfortunately i will never be able to own any of the bikes you show on your channel since I live in Vietnam and I do not have the means to buy one.. Thank you for letting me experience the thrills of a Motorcycle through your videos. God Bless You and your family and all of the other subscribers!!!!
You would love my Ol' JZR three wheeled Morgan replica... I bought it from a guy just like that in Florida. In your 'T- Rex'? - I would go for gas mileage. Put in some thing around 400cc? 300cc Ninjas rev to 13ooo rpm and have a six speed. Howlin' mad crazy noise at every stop light and 40-50mpg...
I was so stoked to hear you quoting scripture. I immediately subscribed to your channel. I love the content and the fact that you are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ! I live in Georgia now and have lived in PA. I also watched your episode of the Jetski scooter! Very cool!
I bought the same plans from popular mechanics almost 35 years ago. The plans call for using a kz900 for the motorcycle. It was matted to a VW front end. The body was totally hand built using fiberglass. The plans were so detailed and simple Steve Wonder and Forest Gump could have built this thing. I never got around to building the thing because life kept me too busy and broke. But I still have the plans. Maybe one day now that I've retired.
I did a 600cc swap I'm mine. Kandi viper is what it is called. Used the factory rear end and thing was just dangerous. Anything above 60 it would oversteer and feel like you were driving with a badly loaded trailer. Couldn't get it to drive nice. Hope you have better luck than me.
sears sold a Allstate cruiser air. that looked a lot like a vespa. 3 speed on the handlebars like the vespa. step thru body. the one wide had was a baby. blue. enjoy your videos. thanks
Nice! Matt.7:12."Alles wat julle will he die mense aan julle moet doen, moet julle ook aan hulle doen. Dit is tog waarop dit neerkom in die wet en die profete." Nice, but not so nice. There is another verse which state we must be above that. Like love the ppl that hate u... Greetings to Ed & Co.
As far as "inventing" that kickstand foot.... OK, maybe the design (shape), but I was using thin wood or metal squares in Arizona back in the '70s to keep my 750 BMW R75/5 and Honda 750 upright in the summer sun. I'm currently riding a Suzuki S40 Savage... 650 cc single..... 1/2 a cruiser when compared to my previous bike, a '92 Suzuki Intruder VL1500W. Both excellent machines. Stick a 650 single in your T-Rex.... or, for some real torque, that v-twin LS1500 engine was superb.
A v65 Honda motor from a saber/magma would be pretty sweet. Liquid cooled v4 120hp ish. I have a saber it has lots of toque. A bmw sport bike engine would be pretty sweet too.
The land of fruits and nuts out there in the Catskill Mountains. Did you checkout all the old bath house retreats for the rich and fame ? Lots of good riding out in those mountains. The Finger Lakes . The ADK Mountains and the Catskills are all great places to visit and ride thru in NYS.
Gooday Mates, been watchin ya show for a couple hours today and only just realised I hadn't subscribed yet. Well cured that. Im a bit bummed I cant join in for your competitions and things were you give away stuff cause I live in Australia. It dont stop me wat hin you guys cause you do cool stuff. The show where you returned a stoled bike to the guy who had just got another bike, like 3 years later, now he can ride with his Dad, that his first thought was to ride with his father got me, I'm 70 and just last year sold my 650 yamaha lowrider but in all the time I had a bike, I never got to ride with either of my Sons & my Daughter, being a Doctor, wont ride a bike, so never got to ride with any of em. Anyway love ys show and THANKS MATE, you go to a lot of trouble to entertain us viewers. It's only fair that I subscribe. Love ❤ ya work mate, catch ya later. Peace Out, Wayne
T-rex is fine, but that scooter is amazing! I can imagine some young businessman's wife riding one of these in the 50s to get from their new house in the suburbs to the city. I'm not a scooter fan but that one remembers some cool times. Can't wait for what's gonna happen to it.
This is awesome, where abouts in upstate was this because I'm from a little town called Olean NY maybe you've heard of it if you know of KABAR knives or CUTCO knives both made here and also case cutlery, Microtech and zippo are only 15mins south in Bradford PA and 15min north we have Ontario Knife Co.... It's about an hour and a half south of Buffalo but yeah right on the PA/NY line
From someone who lives in northern jersey. You really went up there to get it. I can relate to the comic book artists. Had a sub teacher who drew for HeMan
The steering looks a bit loose & the frame connections well, mmm. so if your going for an engine upgrade I’d keep it more cruiser than speed freak but an old school Honda or Kawasaki 750? but I’m sure you might be thinking of some other upgrades that may let you go more modern & faster. but it would be cool to go full custom with big engine & fat back wheel. Lol get the welder out & see what happens!!

LEGENDARY
LOL @ 13:42
Ed: "how many bikes in your warehouse?
B&B: " fifty"
Ed: " wow you're even crazier than I am"
He already reached his goal to be crazier.
I know I’m totally late to the game, but Ed is a treasure! He seems very knowledgeable and has really enjoyed his life. I love this channel.
“Girlfriend, she doesn’t have much to say”.
She probably has lots to says, she just doesn’t mind that he doesn’t listen, LoL. A match made in heaven.
You should get Ed to come to the shop and sit down and do a podcast or something and pay him in a bike
I love that our man Ed doesn't have a tape measure around. You can tell that he's just not that type of guy. He builds his own stuff, does his own mods. He's got plenty of string around incase he feels the need to measure

I came here from Matts Off Road Recovery.
Binge watching your content now.
Excellent channel Sir.
All the best from across the pond.
I have never seen nor heard of someone wire lights with a 110 oulet. I'd call it a "what do I got that'll work" repair and I love it lol

Gooday Mates, been watchin ya show for a couple hours today and only just realised I hadn't subscribed yet. Well cured that. Im a bit bummed I cant join in for your competitions and things were you give away stuff cause I live in Australia. It dont stop me wat hin you guys cause you do cool stuff. The show where you returned a stoled bike to the guy who had just got another bike, like 3 years later, now he can ride with his Dad, that his first thought was to ride with his father got me, I'm 70 and just last year sold my 650 yamaha lowrider but in all the time I had a bike, I never got to ride with either of my Sons & my Daughter, being a Doctor, wont ride a bike, so never got to ride with any of em. Anyway love ys show and THANKS MATE, you go to a lot of trouble to entertain us viewers. It's only fair that I subscribe. Love ❤ ya work mate, catch ya later. Peace Out, Wayne
Damn, I wish I lived in a country like that, where you could actually get this sorta stuff for dirty cheap. I'm envious.
Thank you Ed, I'll be placing my order for my cycle foot soon.
@1:50 you bring your motorcycle back to neutral every time?😂😂 I sure don't.
Allstate bikes were rebranded Vespas. Sears imported them and then slapped an "Allstate" badge on it and then sold it as their own.
T-rex is fine, but that scooter is amazing! I can imagine some young businessman's wife riding one of these in the 50s to get from their new house in the suburbs to the city. I'm not a scooter fan but that one remembers some cool times. Can't wait for what's gonna happen to it.
That scooter is pretty cool isn’t it
This is awesome, where abouts in upstate was this because I'm from a little town called Olean NY maybe you've heard of it if you know of KABAR knives or CUTCO knives both made here and also case cutlery, Microtech and zippo are only 15mins south in Bradford PA and 15min north we have Ontario Knife Co.... It's about an hour and a half south of Buffalo but yeah right on the PA/NY line
Those little Sears Allstate motorcycles are pretty cool, if you get a chance to get a decent one, jump on it.
From someone who lives in northern jersey. You really went up there to get it. I can relate to the comic book artists. Had a sub teacher who drew for HeMan
You mentioned Pennsylvania, I'm from Erie. North west PA. Right off the lake.
Great epiBlog hope you had a great Easter🤠
Very cool video.. I live in upstate NY also.. about another 45 miles north of Woodstock NY . Cool town and cool moto man lol
Yoooooooo! That trex design would be awesome for my electric motorcycle, it even has a reverse
Can't wait for the bike build on this t rex
That system is an old Quincy-Lynn design. They used to sell plans.
CB1000RR Engine would be pretty badass in that thing! Also pretty damn scary
when do we see this project completed buddy. I would love to see it finished up and drive it back to him and show off.
Yeah Illinois!!!! i'm less than 30 minutes from there in McHenry
The steering looks a bit loose & the frame connections well, mmm. so if your going for an engine upgrade I’d keep it more cruiser than speed freak but an old school Honda or Kawasaki 750? but I’m sure you might be thinking of some other upgrades that may let you go more modern & faster. but it would be cool to go full custom with big engine & fat back wheel. Lol get the welder out & see what happens!!
Kaleb has the fun spot. Lmao. But actually can be considered “the real cowboy” spot. I love this channel
Ed seems like a cool dude!!!
