Harold "Dirk" Martin
Registrace 14. 09. 2011
I am Harold "Dirk" Martin & I like to make helpful videos for people for the things that I am engaged with in my life. Many times, I purchase things that require installation or configuration and often-times the information doesn't exist to the micro, step-by-step level that I WISH I HAD HAD....so I like to make step-by-step guides for the various things I do to help others avoid having to "figure it out" as I often have to do.
As a Combat Vet who rides motorcycles, I’ll also be capturing rides I do with my local chapter to various functions and events.
At the root of it all, my videos are about my life mostly.
If my videos are helpful or you've enjoyed them, please consider becoming a SUBSCRIBER to my CZcams channel.
If there are any companies out there - especially Motorcycle related companies, that are looking for someone to make tutorial videos (step-by-step guides) or product reviews, I would be open to discussions for that - message me!!

I ordered a new motherboard from Amazon. Installed it and it worked for about 3 minutes then stated flashing, beeping and I was back to the beginning. Any suggestions please!
@@lisaphelps-er4ny you may have purchased a bad board. May want to return and get another one.
Too long and too much yakkkking
I do yak a lot! 100% agree with you. But it's who I am and it's my nature. If you like it, you stay. If you don't, you leave. Either way, my life and my yakking goes on! :) Hope you like it, though!
Can we have an update. I keep wondering what happened with the perfect flush belt, i want think doesn't have room for having vibration and movement, but i might be wrong, i apreciate
@@vhemonx1649 sorry what update are you looking for again? The mower has cut perfectly since the belt change out!
@@ClauddvonMauddivv yes about the belt in the mower, i just thought maybe not having enough space in the pullys for vibration. Thank you,
Riskant den Wagenheber an der stelle anzubringen. Würde ich nicht so machen!
Können Sie einen besseren standort für den Wagenheber anbieten? Ich konnte keinen wirklich guten Platz finden
Have the same organizer and Hate it. Snaps were near impossible to line up and the adhesive on the hook and loop just made a sticky mess where it will not stay in place. JUNK.
@@bggd86 I’m thinking of replacing or getting rid of mine honestly. Whoever designed those snaps should be fired
There is a black pulley under the foot board that you can loosen and it takes the tension off the belt and it goes on much easier!
Thanks for this! I was unaware of this! Hopefully this helps the next guy/gal AND me the next time, if I need to do this job again.
Looks like a good ride , maybe see you at an event down the road WV 37-2 stage travels Brother
I love riding through WV so I'll definitely be hitting up more of those events in the months and years to come! I was able to make it to 37-1 this year. When is the 37-2 event this year? Maybe it's passed already.
@@ClauddvonMauddivv I will be going to the NC reginal event in OCT. We do have some good roads throught out the state to ride.
@@hkramer52 I’ll be making the regional and state events this year as well as KY 1-1. KY 1-1 will finish up my Grand Slam requirements for the year.
@@ClauddvonMauddivv Just learning about the Grand slam and such . Definitely making that NC event and maybe Head to the Hills here in WV. Always family events come up. Not really any full on events from my chapter as of now.
Thanks
Sometimes when the belt twists it will not correct itself and it damage itself permanently.
@@davecarlson581 what is your recommendation here in the event of twisted beat without starting it up? Perhaps if you have a good suggestion it will help someone looking later.
Some beautiful scenery! Semper Fi
Riding overweight motorcycles on flat roads.....boring! How did this come up my list of video suggestions! At least pretty scenery and some gentle curves probably was a pleasant ride but as far as etertainmet to WATCH? Uhhhh...NO
@@dougiequick1 you definitely want to move along (kept it PG) then!
You're video doesn't need all the foul, vulgar language!
@@PhilipYounavjak it’s how I talk when I’m alone, with adults and or frustrated. I’m not going to change who I am. If it offends you, please don’t watch my videos. Hope it still helped you though!
Where did you get the part ?
Here's the actual part I ordered: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XQ3DTNS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck to you!
Hubby mows and does yard upkeep. I fix shit when he tears it up, and pull him out of ditches in the back-40. And I just go ahead and start swearing when he walks in the door saying, "Babe, I need your help..." This is going to be my next project.
Why didn't you just lossen the tensioner
Thank you for this video
Clean install brother
Connectors that have solder inside them are the best to use, no crimping and more secure.
Thank you very much for your video you did a great job throughout. Now maybe I will not be afraid to use it thanks
Thanks, Brianne! GL to you!
Next time it’ll be a lot easier if you take the foot plate off. Opens up a lot for you to maneuver the belt.
Just a little FYI. I purchased the same thing and I have a luggage rack on my king tour pack. The provided snaps don't line up without bunching up the organizer. So I opted to just use the velcro only. So far so good, 2 months so far.
Thanks for this! I’ll stick with the Velcro adhesive in that case! So far so good! Really loving the organization.
Very helpful.. Thanks for taking the time.
Great video! Just what I needed to finally assemble mine. I bought mine well over a year ago, and I'm just pulling it out of the box. I assembled mine right along with you. That sure made it easy and saved me time, especially having the exact same power washer. Even with the couple mistakes, I got a few laughs and enjoyed watching your video...thanks! 😂 BTW, nice bike.😊
I love your down to earth style ! Piss on the haters ! Never change
Thank you so much for explaining the installing of power washer but my soap 🧼 isn’t coming out
Make sure there is soap in and the soap line is installed and not crimped.
I love how he talks shit bout all the perfesanal mechanics and if they don't want to watch his video then move on... Love That Shit !!! Same shit I would say to them myself
Thank you for all the detail!
I'm putting ladder rack on my z254(1 inch pipe frame,with plywood roof for (shade)
As I was watching the video back, I realized in the credits, I forgot to list "Giggles!" as being in our group! Sorry for forgetting to add you to the list, Giggles! I promise to list you twice in the next video!! :) ~Dirk
Pretty cool!
The nozzles are color matched to the actual holder. Look at front of the panel
Thank you for the video. I did everything and works very well!
How do I set mine the freezer and the refrigerator is not getting cold
If your fridge is the same brand as mine, you followed the steps in the video Ann’s it’s still not working, then you have another issue going on.
a demo would have been warranted.......daaaaaaaah
I honked the horns at the end of the video! :)
Great video, way to hang in there and finish the job. Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for taking your time and helping us to put ours together.
Thanks for this man. Best real world vid on this
You’re very welcome!
18:18 Red ugly seat goes with that Red ugly cable
Love my seat!! Lots of people ask about it and like it. Don’t love the cable though. Don’t be hatin’!!
@@ClauddvonMauddivv it was a pun on the red cable comment then when i was watching i saw the red seats and just laughed
im hooking my gerbing up to factory heated seats to a bike that didnt come factory. having trouble with the toggle switch since it has 4 wires and its a 3 way switch
Need to take anti motion sickness pill for this one
Don’t be hating! :D
Thank you for this detailed, easy to follow, step by step ,nicely paced video. I am going to assemble mine tomorrow. I am a visual learner myself, So this was much appreciated.
So glad it helped! I am also a visual learner. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing.
Let me ask you. Can't you just hook up into the adaptor that comes with the harley davidson that us used to tend the battery as a hook up
Harley Davidson documents all say NOT to do it. The battery tender harness is fused for low voltage draw and the gear needs to use a fuse up to 20 amps (while wearing everything). You could fry components of the bike or cause some electrical fire while wearing the gear, which Harley states "can cause serious injury or even death." I wouldn't do it. Technically "can you?" Sure...I'm reading lots of folks who have done it and continue to do it. Since I value my life and follow manufacturer warnings, I installed the separate heated gear fuse kit/cables. It was very simple to do and ensures I am using only the amps I need for any configuration of gear I'm wearing.
@@ClauddvonMauddivv I agree, I feel the same way but I wanted to ask.
I ended up purchasing a 4ft long air hose to be able to mount it on my trike.
7:40. Gone. Thanks.
Awesome ty sir
Maybe I might catch you around I’m in the Fortwashington area
You are going to love them I have everything but the socks and the pants I ride all year long keep the videos coming for
Not that loud.
It’s saved my butt several times. Loud enough to get attention of even big rigs. That’s all i need. Very happy with it so far.
