Thank you for never doing sponsor product blocks and all that junk that almost every channel seems to do nowadays. You and Mustie1 have all my respect for that. Just keep doing what you love.
Well they do need money and its like 7 taps on your phone to skip it lol
If its sponsors that can relate to their viewers its not so bad. If its random crap like raid shadow legends then its very annoying lol. But not sponsors keeps that old youtube feel and I like that
Why not? He could maybe hit wd up and get a sponsor that would be cool just no more vpn or shadow legends unless they are paying a pretty penny.
@@gpw203 it's just how you're taught and we all know if it works it just works.
Well, mostly, I'm talking things like literally any mobile game, food shipment services, supplements, workout shakes, ETC. An occasional block on tools or parts that pertains to the content of the channel isn't gonna bother me one bit. I was pointing out how genuine Joe must be about his craft to not have that stuff in his videos like some channels do in every single one of theirs.
Dude ur grand dad is smiling ear 2 ear..Great job..Def keep it for memories cuz they will nvr go away..every time u look at it now it'll b a new chapter n ur book of life..b safe my friend..peace...
The old Honda boxer lives again! Well done!
I just picked up my first one last week. 82 Goldwing Aspencade 1100 with 70k miles. Out of curiosity I did a cold compression test (about 34 degrees out in the barn) and the cylinders all had over 165psi, I couldn't believe it. These motors are certainly impressive.
You can feel the extra love being poured out when it was your grandpa's personal bike. It was nice to hear her run once again. Enjoy your labor.....
Your Grandpa would be proud bro much respect 💯💯
Grandpa's looking down and smiling away. That thing is a big bike. Great channel.
Joe I'm 29 years old and honestly you've helped me over the years with bike engines the Xr 250R when stripping the engine there is a tiny spring that is in the head if you lose that it's game over I used a ball point pen spring and it worked amazingly 🤣 I didn't know for days what was wrong freshly rebuild still didn't start re stripped watched one of your XR videos and found the problem within a hour I've been watching for years keep up the good work
So nice and refreshing to see a second life for these old boys !! In the mid 80s I worked at a small motorcycle shop " cycle exchange " and my 1st project was a gold wing engine overhaul, this brings back so many memories, thank you Joe , absolutely fantastic 👏
А что тут фантастического, цилиндры ржавые кольца тоже, наделает при работе задиры и будет дымить и жрать масло, это называется мамкин ремонтер!
I remember my uncle riding his Honda CB 750 in the Med 70's until he dumped it. My Aunt said, the bike goes or I go. bye bye Motorcycle! Joe, keep this Gem in your family. Happy Sunday you guys. Take Care
the early GL1000's like this one had an issue where if you left them on the side stand for too long oil would seep past the rings and collect in the left hand cylinders, which is most likely why they were fouled up. It could even hydrolock the engine in some cases, so best to keep it on the centre stand. beautiful bike, it's great to hear it run after so many years. I'm sure your grandpa would be proud!
Hydro locked like crazy, pain to remove to.
@@user-fi3fx5my2sa pain to run after hydro-locked? Nah, just pull the plugs and spurt the blockage out unless ya'll get a hit on the other cylinders and bend a rod.
Centre stand for this bike it must weigh half a ton you would have to be strong to lift it
Love the channel, nice cycle, great project, your grandfather is smiling down on you
Hello from Brazil, I imagine your emotion, my father had one just like this, and I recently I bought a 1975, but in blue, with only 7,000 miles, when I rode it for the first time, I cried remember my Dad ! Watching your videos with pleasure! Soon I will make a video with mine on my channel! Congratulations!
I had a duplicate of that bike, moved on to other ones. But still admire it.
Yes !!! Finally a street Bike !
It's a testament on how solid these engine really are. Pretty much if the motor isn't locked up, they'll run. Carbs are a bit finicky, but everything else is usually solid. Goldwings have earned their reputation for reliability.
The Goldwing standard. Rare bike and the most collectable of the Wings. I bought one last year. Had not run for over 30 years. I made sure it had good title and the engine was not seized, and so I bought it for 300 dollars and used a Home Depot truck to get it home. Another 76 dollars. I got it running well. Fast bike and fun to ride. Now getting ready to convert it to electronic ignition. Mine is a 1979 Goldwing standard. 1979 was the last year the Goldwing was made in Japan.
Your grandpa was always proud and would be even more proud today. Great job! I'm looking forward to seeing more on this project. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I'm sure your grampa is smiling in heaven watching you revive his bike
Man im literally just absolutely happy for you in knowing just how much this has to mean to ya and especially when considering your grandpa is the one who got you interested in working on motors. I feel like not many grandkids have the pleasure to own a piece of memorabilia from there grandparents cause I know I didn't get that sort of luxury with any of mine so very blessed my man and I can guarantee he's definitely 💯 proud of ya on this one and smiling ear to ear fs, congratulations and great content as always. Very well done sir!!
Just so fascinating to watch you as you find these cool bikes here and there and then systematically go through them, with the utmost patience and humor! I enjoy watching you interact with the sellers, and then the troubleshooting process and then seeing these bikes run AND your enthusiasm riding them once again! I've learned so much from you and watching your videos on so many levels! I'm 62 and been riding happily since 11 years old! Keep up the great work.
I’m so proud of you putting this old boy back together, I’m sure your grandpa is looking down on you with such pride you’ve come such a long way in such a short time, please keep up with the variations of all the machines it keeps your show so interesting !!!! Thank you very much an old time viewer😊
This channel always has so much knowledge and I love it. I also greatly appreciate how you don't use music in your videos and you take the time to explain everything that you are doing. Makes it a whole lot easier to focus and understand what's going on.
I very much agree. I can't believe I watched nearly 2 hours of this (both videos) but I found it truly fascinating. You appeared to not know the Goldwing, but know engines which made the process of elimination much more interesting. More please on this bike as I'm considering one!
Wow! A second life for Goldwing. Hope to see more videos bringing bike to life. Good luck and take care.👍
On metal gas tanks that have rust. Put a couple strong magnets next to the petcock under the gas tank to keep rust from getting in the carburetor.
Such a great video!…what a satisfying day for you and on something you have been seeing this stored at your grandpas all your life . Congratulations, nice work!
You do a great job of moderating your impatience with following proper procedures. Great job!
good job! you're gotta be doing the carbs more than once if you don't clean up the gas tank, you can see how dirty it was when it leaked on the floor, the gas lines are probably breaking up inside also I would change them also! Don't forget to change them timing belts....very very important that you do that for peace of mind. Inline fuel filter is another thing you should look at ! Try a clean source of fuel from an auxiliary tank after you do the carbs....just saying. Be well.
Worked a Honda shop back in 76, spent the summer taking these things out of the crate, prepping them, and test driving them up and down Woodward Avenue, big fat rockets!
Nice, your grandpa is smiling ear to ear. Probably a good idea to check the inside of them pipes to. Can't wait to see the next video of this bike. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼
It had to be an emotional moment when your Pop bike sprung into life. I'm pretty sure that put a big smile on his face, rest his soul. Well done, Joe!
You vids get me fired up to get into my shop and fix the many ongoing project toys, Thanks !
It's an honor to bring back these old machines. Especially when it belonged to loved once at some point. My wife's uncle just passed. Before he did, he passed on to me his 2006 kawasaki prairie 360. It sat In The shed for 10 years. Prior to that was barely used. I went thru the whole quad. Its mint now. My wife rides that quad now. It brings back memories for her. She tells me about times before we met.
Absolute brilliant joe couple of tweeks here and there and you will have it running perfectly very proud man looking down on you for sure I’m sure your family is super proud of you too all the best mate 👍👌🔧🔧🔧🙏❤️
Congrats man, I was happy for ya when it fired up...
So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. You're doing a fantastic job keep up the great work. You always make it look easy. God bless you and your family. 👍 🙏🏼🙏🏼
A brass wire wheel on a drill works pretty well for cleaning up the surfaces on the heads pretty quickly. Also, you could clamp a small pair of vice grips to that razor blade and get a lot more done faster with that and be safer. I love watching your videos man, thank you, keep up the good work!
Good job
I've been waiting for this since the first video ended. You should definitely be proud of your accomplishments in life.
One of the most beatifull bikes ever built
This is great man! I bet a paycheck you Grandpa is smiling down on you for getting his old bike running! Good grandparents are the best! I owe both of my Pops for pushing me to learn the trade of fixing things, and so glad they did!!!
This was a great video. Wonderful to see that big bike come back to life. Your Grand dad would be very proud!
a two inch pneumatic wire wheel would make the head deck perfect. that little dremmel thing is doin the job !
Thank you man for all the videos! Sorry for your loss and I'm from Sweden enjoyin all your fixing of vintage things! :)
Keep doing what your doing and bringing back these old dinosaurs, love watching your vids in the shop in the mornings before we start our day. Keep up the great work!
I learn so much from this man. As a teenager who works on dirtbikes and more, I love to watch @2vintage as an inspiration
Remember doing a full strip and rebuild of one of these engines when I was at college in early 80's . Was a nice project, the crank was very short. I also noticed the pistons had valve cutaways for four valves, just like yours. By the way, blunt scraper is much kinder to the gasket surface, than a sharp blade. All the best.
Congratulations on getting your grandpa’s bike going. Really enjoy your channel. You do a great job problem solving and have a good work ethic! Grandpa taught well.
Very impressive . Good to see the younger generation taking interest in the older Japanese iron . I had a 75 that I restored to original . There used be a group called the classic wing club . Don't know if they are still around . There is plenty info on the web about aftermarket parts such as belts and hoses . The best update is Gl1500 coils and dyna electronic ignition . Save your starter by using carb cleaner .Keep up the good work .
Grandpa is looking down with a giant smile on his face! Great job, Joe!
Yep
It’s amazing watching you work on these older toys!🤟🏻 there getting brought back to life and running better than ever! Keep doing what your doing joe dreams really do come true.
Never doubt an old Honda !!!❤
Always a good day when you upload! Btw update on my warrior. I ordered a carb rebuild kit and intake boot. Also ordered a fuel shutoff because it is leaking.
You gotta keep gramps goldwing, he sent you a big thumbs up from heaven when you fired it up for him ❤🙏
a lot of memories in that buddy. Look forward to seeing the carbs sorted and running. Good luck with it buddy.
Nicely done for grandpa kid ...
You totally need to get one of those sonic baths for those heads & things that you do. they even work well for carb work👌👍
He has one for carbs
@@waffalobill oh he does ? I guess that I don't recall ?! lol
@@Jason71100 No way he get those heads in it but he's got one for carbs.
Condolences bud, been there, crushing, you have a great piece of him to fix and ride with him in your heart. Mine left me 3 farm bikes all 3 ATCs. They're still around and still running good. Gave one to my sis, one to my cuz. Kept the really nice cherry one for me, 85 big red. My dad uses it on his farm to pull little yard trailer with picking leaves, sticks, etc.
I like the "Grand" from 70's vintage Pontiac Grand Prix emblem on the side of the tank. Just found your channel and impressed with your patience and perserverance.
Excellent job, video quality keeps getting better. Thanks for the great videos
Great bike Your Grandad would be proud excellent job, You got keep these bikes
Not would, he is! Watching from above drinking coffee with God.
Timing belt cover leaking, shouldnt be. Great job Joe, IT WANTS TO LIVE!!!! Your grandpa is proud!
Had a shot on one of those back in the day. Smooth and powerful and surprisingly good handling for it's size, but I was riding an XS1100S at the time so even an H2 handled well by my standards 😂 Your grandad is so chuffed that you're doing this m8. You're gonna have a ball riding it.
Sorry for you loss. Congrats on the work. Your Grandpa must be proud.
Great Video, another learning moment. Classic looking cycle, glad you got it to run. Your grandfather is looking down saying, darn it should have had him look at it sooner
hard to believe you couldn't get the gasket surfaces cleaner. lots of stuff out there to help
Your enthusiasm for these old machines is very infectious 😎
Great work Joe. You make it look easy. Grandpa would be proud.
Your grandpa would be proud 👏 No better way to honor his memory in my opinion
You have opened my eyes to a whole new world thank-you.
Do get the wheels respoked: it's extremely dangerous to ride on rusty spole, they tend to shatter. Otherwise I reckon you're pretty much spot on. She'll be a beauty to ride. Just thought maybe I should mention the spoke thing. I'd be getting that yellow beast out too, even it has to park awhile before you get to it. That was Honda's racing colour in the day. Cheers and good luck! Grandpa would be proud as.
My condolences on your loss. Great job on getting Grandpa’s motorcycle running again.
I had one of those back in 1978
Workshop tip. You'll get a better seal on your gaskets if you give them an even light spray with spray-paint. Got it from a top mechanic, Dale from Wheels Through Time, so I'm going to believe that one.
Awesome 👍🏻 Love seeing these old bikes being brought back to life.
Good video man was amazing seeing that Ole Honda fire right up!!
Absolutely marvellous your grandad would be so proud he be looking down with a huge smile ashame he wasn't actually with you to see it run but still he will be proud of you getting it running definitely do through the carbs & miby take the exhaust off & empty any rubbish out them ,& get the brakes working im excited to see the first ride on this be a smashing video mate enjoy your Sunday & have a great start to your week #2vintage 👊💨
I haven’t been this tense over an engine start since watching Flight of the Phoenix as a kid, well done, Grandpa is smiling.
i forgot about that movie!
Can't wait to hear what you think of it after riding it. I didn't expect to like mine as much as I did after my first ride. Was used to sport bikes and didn't think I'd enjoy riding a big heavy bike like a Gold Wing. Boy was I wrong. I've taken many long trips on it and only retired it, temporarily, after my son was born.
The Goldwings were heavy, incredibly well balanced and a pleasure to ride. Really good to see a pretty nice example brought back to life. Thank you.
Great to see you work on this bike . I too had one of these and 2 things I can tell you. Change the timing belt every few years and these old girls love to be choked to get her started. Good luck to you !!
Enjoying the journey with this young man ✌️❤️
Granpa is proud of you and loves you❤🎉
What a beautiful bike! Excellent work as always! Blessings and respect!
Sometimes the littlest things in life create the best memories and the greatest joy of life
all for grandpa, i bought a snowmobile where my grandfathers cemetary is. its a little salute to him, i rebuilt and replaced everything i could on it. i wax that thing . if it has a spot of grease its wiped off. but i ride it alot. its so fun just to put around on !! all for gramps hed get a kick out of it. nice work joe!!
Hey it's great you got it started!! My uncle just died a few days ago. He loved bikes and always had one!! I had a friend that had an 87 gold wing. It was fast!! Great job. Looked like the right side wasn't running though. Love you raw videos. And f the haters!! Because you do it raw!!
U need to keep that motorcycle running for as long as possible since it was your grandfather's own who knows maybe one day your son could own it after u .love your work keep it up !!.
This one is for you grandpa.great job!
I love how Vinny 🐕 does the "mannequin challenge"😂😂
Great Job Man...I'm happy for you, your grandpa would be proud.
Well done joe. Your grandad woould be proud of you mate. Very well done. The bike will be a collectimg item now days.
That's one big heavy bike Thank you 🙏 for giving new life
I remember going to the Honda store in Calgary in 1975 with my dad to look at one of these!
I owned an '81 Goldwing at one point many years ago. They run great until they don't. The carbs are no fun to remove and once they are rebuilt they need to be synced to get the bike to run as it should. Your Wing is a long way from running properly but just getting it running from the state it was in has to be very gratifying I'm sure. I'll be watching your further adventures with this project!!!
Most Gold Wings start before you can let your thumb off the starter button so he has more work to do for sure. And yes even the old ones start that fast if they are properly tuned and everything is right.
I got the same with my 1975 Goldwing between 77 and 78 .The cv carbs are garbage and costs a lot of time .
I appreciate that you do so much with basic tools.
Permatex 80645 Low VOC Gasket Remover works great but you have to let it soak sometimes for a few hours and re-apply and so easy to clean.
Awsome content as allways and sorry to hear about your grandpa I bet he loved them motorcycles
Good shit, keep up the quality work!
49:29 hehe we call those "Back" fires! Nice work grampa 'd be proud! He is proud he's looking down from Heaven and he's beaming! Love your show.
Greetings for the U.K. Good video, hopefully just a carb rebuild will sort it and get it running smoothly. Your grandad would be proud no doubt. Keep up the good work. Rich.
are we going to get a video of this thing riding any time soon?!?! would love to see one!
