VFR400 NC30 Rebuild/restoration

Күн бұрынRebuilding the NC30 with the help of my apprentice mechanics
This has been a father & son's project and I've tried to encourage my boys to get involved and learn new skills, pick up the spanners and at the same time have some quality time together (anything to get them off their Xbox). I bought this bike as a lockdown project to keep me busy.

Since it appeared in the recommended video, if you start watching it casually, it is not adults but young people who are maintaining it! ?? Each movement was snappy, and I was impressed to see it. From the explanation, I was able to confirm that my father's education policy was wonderful. Thank you for publishing a very nice video. Since it is a translated sentence with translation software, I am sorry if there is a sentence that seems unpleasant.
