Respect!!
MAN the twists & turns in this journey - the ups & downs... LIFE!
dude--> just makin it happen. Your move to Mexico during covid was genius!! I am watching from New Zealand, enjoying seeing the Bonneville transform, & hearing the whole tale unfold.
I heard NZ is amazing for riding… maybe one day
I am enjoying your recount of your adventure... I will keep watching I also like the way your tank ended up looking after a couple of days --> I think it looks awesome half blue/ half hand painted 👍
Cool project for a great adventure! I enjoyed this video, but I nearly clicked away & missed the build after 0:52. Thanks Eddie. GFY! 😎✌
Most relaxing and interesting video series in a long time! Is there a way you can share your Notion tables as a template? I would love to keep track of my spendings, tasks and weight like you do.
Sure, I've added links in the description.
@@eddiertw thanks a lot! These are awesome
I admire your perseverance and tenacity!
MATE YOU DID THE BEST THING FOR YOU, SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND REALISE THIS WAS A GREAT DECISION. WELL DONE FOR YOU, KEEP THE VIDS COMING, GREAT LOOKING BIKE.
As I said, very cool series on the build. Please continue with the journey, looking forward to it.
Daaamn man you crashed this thing twice now! Once from poor mechanicing... 😬 You might want to think about getting an office job.
@@beachboardfan9544 I’d rather pretend it didn’t happen, but it did, so I’m telling it as it was. There are two types of riders: those that have crashed and those that are yet to crash.
@@eddiertw I mean yea props for being honest, but damn bro get it together, who rides with bad breaks?
@@beachboardfan9544 brakes are for losers
@@eddiertw So are crashes 😁
@@beachboardfan9544 I can help you lose your crash virginity… twist the right hand a little harder
Your exhaust wont make any good power without a link pipe. Check out Ultimate Twin Performance. They can make you an exhaust that will give the best power.
Again you are spot on, and I learned this also the hard way. I now have a 2-in-1 exhaust
@@eddiertw if you need a custom map Ultimate Twin Performance can do them on the stock ECU.
Don't bother with the power commander, Triumph Twin Power do maps you can upload yourself and the bike runs perfect. Not need for an external unit. Just upload and go.
@@christophersherrington5412 yep I learned this the hard way, watch the next part of the series. Even though all the bloody tuners force you to get one (I’m sure it’s a bullshit business partnership they do with these mechanics).
Im loving this series and format. 🤌
what a great series. can't wait for the follow-up!
Forgot to mention when you altered the hedon helmet I almost cringed (not because of you but because I own a 1.0 as well and know how much they cost. Also, I'm so happy they updated them with the 2.0 allow audio devices.
Haha yeah this is the original 1.0 Racer. You know I saw it in a window display in Lisbon and at the time was the best looking helmet I’ve ever seen. When in London I tried it on in a shop and made a very expensive birthday present to myself. Still the comfiest helmet now 7 years later. How is yours holding up?
@eddiertw I've had my stable black one for about 5 years now, though full disclosure it was purchased during their annual sample sale, originally like $900 but I got it for $600. Comfort is a 10/10, love the look as well. I've had to replace the visor once as a hinge cracked. The only other issue is that going anything above 60mph (which is legal on the hwy here) I get a bit of sound/whistles. Otherwise it'd super solid. I likely buy a 2.0 for my next birthday.
@@FunWithAJ Yes spot on, super comfy and very quiet - but yes weird whistle at high speeds, used to it now as I ride with earplugs.
Man, I can so relate to incompetent craftsmen here in the US as well. It seems to be a lack of care and passion or something in this day and age.
It’s sooo hard to find a reputable mechanic. I found that outside of Europe there were far more skilled individuals, perhaps it’s a generational thing. Which is fizzling out in privileged economies…
Moved the brake caliber. I didn’t see that coming. Why didn’t Triumph think of that?
@@clayfarnet970 I actually don’t know. It’s a very obvious design flaw. I used a bracket from Free Spirits to get that remounted.
Big ups to you mate. Im about to undertake an overhaul of my scrambler for a 9000km ride around Australia in November. Im enjoying your story. Cheers!
@@7un05 yea yea sounds wicked, I’m hoping to reach Australia sometime next year.
you crashed because of shitty mechanical knowledge. Well done.
All in all, crashes and faulty painters included, what was the cost of everything as you left London?
@@903lew I’d rather not say haha… 2, 3 times the value of the purchase of the bike. I see it as a self-investment in a degree of life skills through trying and failing
@@eddiertw You know, those are great investments also.
Very good story 👍
Another great one! Keep them coming.
I have no experience in off road driving, I wonder why you had an accident so many times? I regularly beat Itchy Boots, Ride Me Five, Charly Sinewan... They have accidents here and there, but not much. What is the difference between their driving and yours? I'm asking because I have a crazy idea to drive an old Tomos moped from Europe to Africa, and everyone tells me it's a stupid idea that I'll never reach Africa. It is about 2800 km from my country to Africa. And if I have so many accidents with a moped, I will probably never see Africa I'm waiting for your next adventure in Africa
Honestly, experience. But also some factors like being tired (lacking sleep) or being hungover are all reasons why I would crash. Not anymore though, I've learned it the hard way and can mentally focus better when my mind wonders off the road. Who are these people that are telling you not to do it? Have they done anything similar or do they prefer to give opinions from the comforts of their own homes? Go for it dude, everything is possible and people have done crazier things than cross Africa on a moped. You'll learn on the job to ride off road just by doing it...
Awesome content, awesome build, awesome style! Lets go man 🤘
Love the style of these edits! Great story telling.
Hi Eddie, I'm loving these videos they are very truthful and relatable, I have done the same in the past worked on my bike then fucked it up and felt shit about it but it thought me so much about how to double check things. I'm gutted for you that your gorgeous bike got damaged it looked so clean to and the fact that you tackled all that in your spare room is sick. I know people with full garages with welders and bike hoists and lifts and they still wouldn't have taken on half of what you accomplished so fair play lad 👍 keep going and keep her rubber side down
Appreciate it, yeah was gutting to deal with damage only days after having it finished. But like you say, you learn from your own mistakes.
Your cannel popped up in my feed a few days ago and I have watch all your videos. It was a long time since I saw somthing that was this genuine and with such a simple and great way of telling a story. I really like your videos! :) keep them coming!
Not sure I'm very good at telling the story, but if you've been able to follow along and it made sense I'll take your word for it. Thanks
Though you said it was going to be a long video it wasn't at all. I want my money back! Keep these coming plz
I managed to edit down from 40 minutes!!
@@eddiertw but why? Maybe you kept us away from interesting stuff but kept the cliffhanger! 😘
@@superconfort ha no, lots of waffle high on caffeine and few things that weren’t even useful to the overall story
Blue rusted tank was the best ever i saw in my life.
Amazing man. Completely impressed by you. There's a constant theme in these videos, you hit a roadblock whether work, bike, material, service etc and you find a way to overcome it which is usually you learning a new skill and doing it yourself. Impressive Eddie. I'd bet if you gave yourself a self imposed goal of making 10 million pounds in one year, you'd 100% see it through.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. The thinking behind doing it myself was also to save as much money as possible and learn my way around the bike I’d need to know how to fix on the road…
After watching a few of his videos, I think he’s the type of guy that would rather endure the pain while traveling and rebuild his bike (if wrecked) again if it meant changing the look of his bike. I’m older, so I can relate with you. Give me comfort and high visibility…everything. I’ll do anything if it means riding longer. 👍👍
Nice video. It is rarely appreciated at the the time, but adversity builds character. A motorcycle crash is similar to relationships…they are messy, they hurt, and hopefully you learn from your mistakes. You’re a talented young man, keep it up!
You need motor crash bars, auxiliary lights, extra petrol cans, mushrooms on both wheels, front screen. This things will make it trips more enjoyable, hours and hours of riding with the wind on your chest are not enjoyable. Protect your bike for any drop. You may take longer to get to your destination, use extra light devices. Keep going.
In another video I’ll show how I installed more crash protection.
Really happy that you found the motivation to keep the project running. Also, thanks for sharing the project and the setbacks. It makes me want to work on my bike
You should, it’s very rewarding.
COVID was strange only for the people that are more suited to be barn animals over being critical thinking individuals
Hi Eddie, i really love the font you did use to write on the video, could you tell me which app or program did you use for add it?
Yep the font is called Plunct, and I use CapCut to edit the videos.
Thanks a lot eddie
Here is a Wikipedia link to the Scooter I was talking about: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Roller_berlin_IWLSR59_berlin_tm.jpg
You are lucky with your professional life... although you might not always like it, it helped you get forward. That beeing said, my wife and me are cut of the same wood. We cant stay too long in one place, although we have two kids. But we managed and are in a good place now. What I really wanted to say is, that youre showing the same determination with youre bike that I did when I was 15 and found a 150ccm east german scooter in my dads garage. It was build in the late 60ies and I, young as I was, with limited ressources, managed to get that bike running again. Without a license (still abit too young) I drove it just up and down our suburban street. People complained. It was around 1988. I went on summer break to my grand parents and when I came back, my dad had sold the bike for 200 bucks. I was devastated, but I guess he wanted to get rid of the neighborhood ppl complaining. Only a two years later the wall came down (I'm from East Berlin) and I went at some point after that to a bike exhibition in a convention center. I saw the same bike that my dad sold for 200 bucks exhibited there as a rarity bike worth 5000. You can imagine how angry I was about my dads ignorance and selfishness. ---- nonetheless, motorbikes have been and are my passion when it comes to motorized transportation. I own now a Columbian classic street bike that isnt exactly sexy, but I love it and I ride it every day, despite the chaotic and dangerous driving conditions here in Costa Rica, where I live now.
Wow that's quite a story. Dang, I'd be pretty upset too - you had your heart set on this thing that you could actually claim as yours and it vanished just like that - with a sale. Interesting how the attachment to motorcycles comes so often from an early age and isn't something you just shake off when you are older.
Sweet to hear you did some early work Tim at Hitchcox currently am planning my exhaust with him
Yep he is a master, and this was definitely a very early commission.
Dude, what do you mean ethical or abiding to rules? Dude, you figured out a way to live life…the way you’re supposed to live. Don’t look now, but Covid was bullshit. Don’t fall for it again. Live life brother.
Great job. I’m really impressed with your story telling and mechanical skills. Keep’em coming.
Thanks dude, not sure I'm good at storytelling...
@@eddiertw I am enjoying the story! ... onto part 3!!!
Enjoying these!
i had 2 rides one after another, totally 2+ weeks and after return lockdown came in a week. Brrrrr I kind of imagine all things you do with your bike. I had Bonneville 2014 model. I was doing offroad a bit with stock street tyres, but generally it was too heavy for it. Anyway college i used to work went out of business and i sold my Bonnie because maintenance in India was too high for jobless person. Well it was too high for any person even with good job. Any small thing cost huge money in India. I broke 2 times gear shift lever - that small metal piece here was very costly.
I can imagine. Probably the closest place to India that will have spare parts for Triumph is Thailand? Yeah they are too heavy for "off road" but given enough open space it's a bit like surfing on a big couch...
I follow your journey from the first video and oh my god how refreshing these videos are, no bullshit. Just trial and error getting the job done. I've been in a similar situation mentally few years ago and I must say working on the bike and travelling really helped. I worked from home aswell and I just couldn't stand seeing same 4 walls anymore. I'm at much better place now, mainly because of the T7 I've build and it took my mind away over to something to do. Keep it up
Nice content bro...very insightful Way better than those build videos than focus more on cinematography and gimmicks ....rather than actual build content.👍👍👍
Nice videos
killer videos
This is a solid story, dude. Im envious of not only the opportunity you had but the balls it took to jump into this, head first. Way to turn a challenge into growth.
appreciate the kind words, though anyone can do this too... nothing that special about what I did
Eddieee
that is my name, don't wear it out
Really enjoying these! The retrospective storytelling over the trip photos seems surprisingly natural and very different from others videos. Keep them coming!
