Sorry I don't know how to embed it and I'm sure some of you guys have seen this, but just thought I would share it. It's really well made, and unfortunately true...

I know so many people who are just like this. Makes me think of myself. Welding on bikes for years.
The best part is seeing the young guys who are doin it. Their out there. Lot of them and I've met lots of them.

Their younger than the bikes their working on and learning from guys like him.
Great video.

Great video. I found it on vimeo and prolly watch it 3 times a day. I run a dealership and i say the same thing. I cant believe this is mine. Who's the next me?!
 
My grandfather taught me to wrench at a very early age. Makes me wonder what the hell I am doing cooking. But, now at 40 my hobby is growing and my 5yr old son is taking interest. so I am helping him build stuff every chance possible. So, hopefully He can carry this on into the next generation.

That's an Austin Healy. Good eye though, I missed it the first three times. ;)

Yeah, I know it's a dead thread. Watch the video again, and you'll feel better. It's bumpworthy.
 
thanks for bumping it.. never saw this vid, and up until now... I didn't have an explanation for my fascination for vintage motorcycles
 
I kinda feel the same as him in a lot of ways. I look at my Dad who has built hot rods in his garage my whole life and all that I have learned from him and think.....my god what a gift he is giving me!

Then I see people who if they can't buy a hot rod/cafe home hobby kit or a McOCC monstrosity they give up.

Hopefully we can all find someone to teach and pass it on
 
They had a tv show for a short run before it got axed. I liked watching him and his work and would think it was one of the reasons I decided to pursue working on a project bike than just buying one I can ride.

The whole "built" not bought means a whole lot more and you feel a whole lot more accomplished at the days end.
 
Where is the next me? I see this as a real serious question today. For me a mid life crisis was really not a crisis, but an awakening to the way things are not....and the knowledge of what they should be.

Great video....
