Hey Craig, after recovering from a stroke, and cancer, I’ve finally got a bike again, I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am to be given the opportunity to ride again.
2001 Honda Blackbird, more fun than you can shake a stick at.
You have kept my inspiration high, thank you and Dan for the encouragement and entertainment.
God bless you both. 🙏👍🏼

4:45 nah man you gotta get that CMX450 titled. That is too rare of a bike to let it go to parts!

It's cool to ride a classic but don't forget a dubie is a better feeling man,let the good times roll

CMX 450 Rebel pretty rare bike . only 20 thousand made .no surprise at all that it started right up 🙂

The best BIKER youtube channel hands down! No blah blah blah, just the best you can do with motorcycles: give them life again. No matter style, brand, engine, Craig nails it. cheers

Both bikes look like they have potential to be rescued. Shame they're getting parted out. That sissy bar is definitely a throwback!

Old school mopeds are about to make a comeback.
If you have an opportunity don't sleep on it people

Hey Craig!  I'm a former Honda sales manager from Maryland, worked for Cycle World in Rosedale for almost 30 years selling Honda and the other big 3, we were one of the few dealers that had all 4 of the Japanese brands together under one roof.  I'm now retired and living in your State of  PA, 67 and still  riding.  I enjoy watching your videos, Shawns too. You guys bring back memories because you do what I used to do for all those years, chase bikes.  Anyway that CMX 450 was only made for 2 years, 86-87, I sold them new!  It would be a shame to part that bike out. I'd make a effort to find a title before you start tearing it down. Take Care, and keep the videos coming. Gives a old man who loves motorcycles something to watch! 😁

Gotta love the pressure washing ASMR segment, they are a favourite part of your resto vids. Yes i have OCD, but i consider it of "suffering" from OCD.

as a bike mechanic myself. I found myself spending all my time working on everyone else bike and not having a fun project of my own. Well now that changed i got myself a 1969 norton commando that hadnt run since 1972.  Had it running in 2 days and theres nothing like the rush it gives you when you hear it start after so long.

Save the 450!! That's a great looking bike that deserves a second chance. Hell I'd give it a home, if I were in the US.

There’s nothing worse than grabbing a grip that’s turned to goo 🤣🤣

The cow with the sissy bar is sweet

I love these videos where you find a bunch of old bikes that haven't been ridden in years.

Wow, you should take that Tomos moped with you—it’s a rarity today! Back in the 70s and 80s, it was driven all over the former Yugoslavia. It was made in Slovenia and is actually a copy of the Austrian Puch moped.
That brings back some memories! That 2-speed bike was the first motorcycle I ever rode as a kid. It wasn’t legal for me to drive, but in my grandparents’ village, there was no police around to stop me. And hey, you could always pedal it like a bicycle—LOL!
Childhood memories! I just got no idea how that moped ended up in US?

My elementary school aged son says, "I wanna watch the one where he gets the bikes out of the barn."  I say, "Yeah that narrows it down to 30 videos."

That Kawi oil change was very Alfred Hitchcock😂. Your videos are awesome!!❤👍

This is why I subscribe and buy merch. We go from factory "how it's made" to shop builds to barn rescues. Variety.
And I love the Kawasaki.

The KZ400 was superseded by the KZ440 in 1980, which was the same motor but a bigger bore, and a six-speed transmission.  The KZ440 was produced until 1984, when Big Green went (mostly) water-cooled.
My first bike was--and still is--an '82 KZ440 belt-drive.  I've had it for nearly 25 years; still love it.
