Dan and Craig I greatly appreciate you guys coming out and helping with my Harley thank you.

Every video from Craig and Dan is a free class on how to fix motorcycles. And he also taught the owner. Awesome! Congrats!

Everyone needs a Craig! This guy won the lotto of knowledge

This should be turned into a series, once or twice a month he goes and helps fix a subscribers bike, nothing too serious like whole engine rebuilds but small carb and spark problems people are just struggling with would be cool

We need a craig meet and greet!

I bet there`s thousands of bikes out there with small problems waiting for help. That was great!

Craig, I’ve been turning wrenches for over 50 years and I consider myself a pretty decent mechanic but it never fails that you teach me something new each time I watch your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. The way you deliver keeps me from getting bored. Thanks!

This is exactly why I help my buddies with their bikes. When you see the smile on their faces when they ride a bike they couldn't get running it makes me happy to. What a great experience.

I think this is a whole new avenue of videos for you! This was awesome to see not just repair, but teaching how to repair with the owner. Love it!

I love taking motorcycle classes from Craig on Friday mornings!

I use old guitar strings to clean jets and the emulsion tube. The wound strings seem to really work well to clean out jets.

More of these Craig!! The bearded mechanic on a mission to save bikes and bikers in a pickle!

Great idea!!! Do more videos like this!!!

1.Everyone needs a Craig! 2.Everyone needs a Craig! 3.Everyone needs a Craig!

Every fan needs a Craig, that’s what Sean’s new hoodie should say🤣🤣

Serious mad props to the editors. The audio levels on this video are of the charts good. On point even. 23 minutes in and have not touched the volume knob once. Well DONE!

Motorcycle rescue is an awesome concept for a regular show theme. Millions of half finished projects out there that "non-mechanic" owners stall out on. Getting them going would be an awesome thing to do with your show.

l love when people work together to help others! God bless you guys!

I watch every single video. From bikes and beards to this channel. Been a constant viewer and supporter for years. This video was excellent. This is what the community is about. Spreading the knowledge. Loved it. 💪🏼

Great theme idea. Love it! I don’t even own a motorcycle 😊

If you want to seal a motorcycle tank, there's an old timer trick my father taught me. You get cheap latex paint, the cheaper the better he found, and put it in the tank and roll the tank around to cover all of the surfaces, then pour out some of the excess. Now what he figured out (by accident) is if you then put a little bit of gasoline in the tank and roll it around again, the gas will flash dry the latex paint and make it hard as a rock. You can then do this a couple of times for a couple of coats, then it'll be good to go. My father found out about gasoline flash drying and/or flash curing latex paint when he was a kid, he had a job where he was supposed to paint some door frames but the guys that hired him decided that they were the wrong color and wanted my dad to strip them down again. Well my father was mainly used to oil based paints and latex paint wasn't as common at that point, so he was thinking along the lines of what you would do for removing oil based paint and took a rag with some gasoline and tried wiping the paint off. Well not only did it NOT remove the paint, it made it cure faster and bond harder than before and ended up becoming more of a pain to take off. We're pretty sure it works so well because the gasoline pulls the moisture out of the paint and evaporates it.

Craig is the man. Great to have someone share their knowledge.

I wish Craig was my neighbor.

It's absolutely great fixing things "in the wild" because it makes the video very relatable to us normal people that do not happen to own a fully kitted shop.

Fair play to ya Craig for going out into the world and helping a guy get his bike running...big respect from Tommy in Ireland 🇮🇪

You should start a TV series like this, helping people out, teaching them ! Great video man...

That exact problem where the carb stationary jets was clogged, made me €1000 just because it was sold as problem bike and I was only 17 at that age. Love to see that you are working with the exact same problem!!! Love your videos!! ❤❤❤

Love this format! We get the content we like and someone gets a valuable lesson in working on their own bike.

Carb rebuilder “Master Class”.

What an awesome way to help your community. I am so impressed!

Finally a vice grip garage for motorcycle enthusiasts love it

love the fixing motorcyles out and helping others that are in need of help and not someone who will rip them off.

You're a great guy Craig! It's always fun to watch you get these stubborn old bikes running, plus I always learn something in the process! Love your videos!

Great idea for a new segment, just like Ask this Old House! Ask this old Motorcycle! The teaching is awesome on this.

You Rock Craig! Seriously I dont know you personally but you come across as a really nice bloke!

It's videos like this that really show how good of a person Craig is !! I love the video keep up the great work!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Wise words on cleaning and reusing existing jets. So many don’t do this and then use cheap rebuild kits with poorly fitting and machined brass.

The main problem with bikes....... most people don't know how to work on them and definitely don't know how to troubleshoot. Both of those are a combination for fire sale bikes at the cost of the owner. Mechanics such as yourself and youtube are awesome for helping the mechanically ignorant.

What a lovely bloke. Humble enough to listen and learn. Nice one!

What an awesome video. The Doctor makes a house-call, and saves the both patient(s.) As a 70 yr old guy, I can remember my family doctor making a house call for me or my brother or sisters. Many, many moons ago.

You guys look like brothers from different mothers. Kindred spirits.😂❤

didn't send a mail but absolutely can relate to this, fj1200 died in the worst moment possible, quick diagnose: carbs or fuel pump, life happened and here we are. about one year later finally the bike is running again! still need to sync and assemble though ^^

Great Feel-Good video. Watching these inspire me to try and get anything running. I'm about to resurrect a 1976 DT125 Enduro from my stepdad's junkyard. Craig, I may need some help! 😬

Dan and Craig make some great videos. Lots of fun to watch and educational.😮

You're a good man Craig.

As a viewer this may sound odd but I’m happy to see you are able to attract sponsors. Been subscribed since the beginning great to see your channel grow.

Always cracks me up that Harley dudes spend so much time looking hard with their leather and chains and such, then they out those sissy girly tassels on their handle bars. Love your channel

Craig, nice of you to help guys like that! I've got the same thing here in Royal Oak, Mi. But he doesn't have to travel very far as a biker/builder of cars AND Harleys he lives right next door to the apartment I live in and he always ends up wandering over to see what I'm up to if I start working on my old 92 Sportster 883. He's a wealth of information & hands on assistance if I need. (Of course I usually need) When I get it home this spring we are gonna look into replacing the primary chain, maybe both sprockets and the adjuster as I'm getting a bit of noise if the engine gets anywhere near or over 2500 rpm & I really don't think it an engine problem, he doesn't either. Time will tell....

I love this idea of helping teach people in person, giving them the in person instruction, and then posting the videos for others to learn from.

I live in the San Francisco area and early in my motorcycle commuting over the bay bridge to get to work (some 40 years ago) I had a life changing experience. In the winter the wind really gets kicking across the bridge. One morning I was going cautiously across the bridge in near gale force wind and rain leaning into the wind at a good 30 degrees doing 1 and a half lane changes every time I passed the protection of a bridge stantion. Then a guy on a full dress Goldwing slows down next to me on my little naked bike, gives me a thumbs up and goes flying past me. He knew something I didn't know. So I sped up and never had that problem again. I might even say it could have been a life saving experience.

Hi Craig and Dan. Just as in many of the comments below. I have learned so much over the last few months from your videos. Im 51 and been working on my own bikes since I was 16. I now know so much more about the basics, which lets face it, Its the most imporant thing. Cheers guys.

The coolest thing is. Craig and Dan are creating a butterfly effect. Inspiration to fix all motorcycles. Bikes are the best, and let's get them all back on the road. Great work on this bike! The ride at the end was awesome!!

I love the Deuce, one of the best looking bikes Harley ever made.

I have a sportster that has the same condition pretty much. Watching this is giving me the courage and knowledge to rip my carb out and start rebuilding. Thank you for all you do!!!!

That beard on Anthony does have SO much room for growing wise and gray...

i just rebuilt the carbs on my 07 vstar 1100. i love doing that type of work. its like tinker toys for adults and its so satifsying when it runs like it should once you're done.

I'm on board for more of these "Everybody Needs a Craig Hotline" videos. This was a great idea to try and help out fans if possible.

First saw you on Bikes and Beards Craig. You are a friendly happy go lucky dude. I dont even own a bike but enjoy your channel tremendously. Mad props to Dan too!! Keep on keeping on my friend.

That is cool Craig is a mighty fine guy. I just resurrected a 89 springer had been sitting for 20 years. Talk about having to go through everything but it’s worth it on the end.

It’s awesome to see how this channel has grown. So many views. Congrats guys!

Helping out fans that's sick! Love these videos added a different aspect! Also if this becomes a series imagine all the different bikes!!! Keep it up!

That’s pretty cool of y’all to help him out!

Craig is like a motorcycle superhero seeking out those in need and righting wrongs lol .Craig great video awesome that you went to help a fan.

This might be my favorite video. I really learned a few new tricks. Thank you, Craig and company...

Glad the oil bag was full. Lot of times on these Softails if they have been sitting for any time the oil will fill the bottom end of the motor. This is because the oil bag sits higher than the motor, there is a check ball and spring in the oil pump that is suppose to stop it. But, with age they start leaking allowing oil past. Mine after just sitting for the winter will have anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 quarts of oil in the bottom end. If you fill one after sitting the oil bag will be over full after running it and more likely blow the oil cap out and leave an oil slick on the rear tire. Not unusual to have condensation and even oil leak onto where the condensation was found between the cylinders after first startup. Now the air filter needs pulled and cleaned once the engine has been through a couple heat cycles and ran at least 20 miles in one run.

Fantastic video Craig, and Dan. Craig would make a super fun cool shop teacher for sure, a master at his craft.

Craig should do instructional videos. I have done a lot of my own work thanks to the kindness of others who know more filming and explaining the job. That said I do learn some from watching these videos but I learn a lot more working on my rigs.

I have 3 wiener dogs, great choice. I’ve also gotten rebuilt carbs that weren’t rebuilt until I fixed them. Very frustrating. I love learning from your videos. Thank you.

You guys are all right! what a great favor to do for a buddy.

Craig’s Rad! My pops just bought an 03’ Honda Shadow 750, and I’m in the middle of purchasing my first bike a Honda Xr150l to ride around my town of Guerneville Ca. And I watch your videos every week for tips on maintenance and restoration!👍🏽 Keep it up, Discovery Channel is gonna make that call any day now buddy!!

what a great guy you are, kudos from Italy!

Craig, that was very cool of you to drive 2-3 hours to a stranger's house and help them get their bike started. You know 20x more about motorcylces than I ever will and I learn A LOT from you.

Great video, love how you pay your skills forwar, Anthony is a great dude & love to see you fixed his Harley which sounded awesome on the ride. Dan keep up the great videoing brother.🔥💯🇺🇸🙏🤙🏼

I just love Craig! Such a passionate genuine guy! Thank you for being you! :)

Everyday.... Every day, i wait in anticipation to see my favorite channel to upload!!! Its always a pleasure!

Great video!.. To quickly clean those tiny jets really well, try unraveling an old brake cable. The individual strands have a helical shape & will hit every bit of surface inside the jet bore without leaving any scratches.

Having corrosion in the fuel tank can really put a stop to riding your bike. The fuel tank on my Kawasaki LTD developed some pinholes, which luckily a local motorcycle shop was able to repair by cleaning out the tank and pouring in a tank liner coating. After it cured never had any further problems with the fuel tank. Always great to see Craig get another scooter back on the road. Also sure it also relieved the Anthonys anxiety’s about not being able to get the bike running right.

This was my first view of this channel I love it! Thanks.

Loving this style of video, put together a work van for a clean area, tools etc and its gold, a pleasure to watch indeed

Really awesome video. The bearded mechanic is so wise. The passion and his excitement to share it with others is outstanding.

This is the series I've been waiting for. I've seen all the discovery channels series where someone comes out and helps you fix your old car project, yet all these bike projects just sitting out there waiting. Please do more.

Craig really going into teacher mode and giving real wealth of his experience and knowledge. And that also in such simple language. Amazing. Cheers and wish more and more growth to the channel!!

Rescue my motorcycle lol I just recently got into riding and the dude wasn't honest at all I love watching you best mechanic ever

This is a great series idea . The only thing I would do differently is setting up a van/truck with mobile shop .

I love it! Not even 4 minutes in and he is quoting Craig! Has to be a fan and glad you are able to help him out.

U have to turn it into a will ot ride series help the guy and go for a ripper fan for life love your videos

Always a very valuable lesson from Craig and Dan! Thank you so much! Very much appreciated! 👍

I have a 2003 deuce and will probably have it sitting for some time. Need a bonded title to get registered. Going to put ethanol free gas in it to keep fuel hoses from deteriorating and the carburetor clean. If any of yours are going to sit for a while I would recommend you do that as well.

You're a cool dude. What a great concept helping out your viewers and making vids for us to see. Thanks for the hard work you did for that guy! I'm a viewer for life! Fellow viewers: Word to the wise: Always assume it wasn't done if someone on eBay tells you they did it.

Craig, you are my hero - thank you so much for your videos I am inspired to continue to wrench on my bikes.

Good job guys! Good to see Anthony enjoying the bike.

Excellent video. A true mechanic and an awesome guy.

Such a great video to help somebody needing a little boost. Very cool guy and cool bike work to watch get fixed up!

This should be a series!

keep the videos coming Craig, i look forward to them always. A fan from Ireland ☘

i find your videos so relaxing to watch while also learning stuff about fixing motorcycles. keep it up

fresh from everyone's favourite mechanic

This is seriously some wholesome goodness. I think everybody needs a Craig to give 'em a hand every now and then!

These are great, I would love to see more of these videos. Very nice.

Everybody needs a Craig!
