    Ed is a kind of person that is genuinly rare today, a pioneer. Still young at heart with a range of experience that seems beyond possibility in the modern world.
    I know a guy that was pulling whole tree tunks out of the forest with a bullock team. He was also the steam engineer on a paddle steamer on the Murray River in Australia. After that his life just kept getting more interesting. He's the only other person I know about who is like Ed.

    Man I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face seeing Ed ride that bike. Beautiful. Just think of all the history stored inside Ed. I was 11 year old in 75. And my mom always made us go out and help the elders and we was not to take a dime from them. Even though they would try and give us money, we would always have to run away from them in order not for them to force us to take their blessing.

    I'm watching from Canada and I have to say, while we've all seen the negative side of what CZcams can bring out in people, this story is absolutely inspiring. First is how several channels have come together and real life friendships forged over common interests, but the story of Ed, which is a story which so needs to be told, has brought together an effort throughout the U.S. to resurrect his Jimny and Rokon. Further, I find it inspiring how people from all over North America, if not several points around the globe, have come to care so deeply about Ed and have taken him and this story to heart.

    Super cool! You guys were so respectful in honoring Ed and conveying the “gold” senior people can pass along to us if we just take the time to listen to them.

    Ed is fortunate to have so many friends that care. One caution I would offer is that Ed will be overwhelmed by what you are doing and will be inclined to prove the value of the gift. Once the bike is restored, is it safe for Ed to be riding on it?

    Great episode guys. Great job on doing Ed’s Rokon. Great stories Ed had. I was wondering if Ed would ride the Rokon.. I wasn’t disappointed.

    There was a Sunday school song that talked about being a "Sermon in shoes " . Selfless loving concern , that results in a kindness for someone you've never even met, preaches the Love of Jesus pretty loudly !!!! Thanks for letting us share in your ministry .

    Thank you for understanding what this older generation brings to the table. Most young people have no respect for us. Thanks again, have fun, enjoy what you do and life can be a blessing by giving it a chance. You kids are awesome all of you for doing this for Ed. You can imagine how many times Ed dreamed of this. This old guy signing out.

    You guys doing this stuff for old man Ed brings tears to my eyes for Ed. I’m only 67 now I have no friends so to see you guys do these things for Ed really is so very kind. Thank you all for brining back Ed’s old memories through rebuilding his bike and Suzuki i can’t wait for the day you get it together and present it to Ed. I think Ed is very cool person. Again thank you all.

    Thank you guys very much i'm sure you brought back a lot memories for ed & i wish i could seen his face once he started riding the rokon ! Ed may be in his 80's but he has many more years left & i know when everything is done this spring all the youtubers thats donated to fixing all this stuff for Ed it's going to really be a celebration that i wish i could be at in person ! Myself in my 60's and can't afford much more then a place to live & a ride i was able to buy a old rv that i been getting fixed up for place to live hopefully ill be able to start hitting the road this summer in it ! A 1987 class A Rv with 55K miles on it !

    Thanks. My Dad died last summer at the age of 85. I respected him. He had that godly wisdom that comes with age and a life lived well. It's good to honor Ed and remind us of what's important.

    Thank you. This is priceless and you guys are wonderful for helping Ed. I've kept up with the bike and Suzuki restore. This is so amazing to witness this much love in these awful times of hatered in which we live. The youth of today can not comprehend the love esp for our elders we once experienced here in america.

    Ed’s one amazing guy and it’s wonderful to see all of those who love him pulling off this surprise. 💕 You couldn’t wipe that smile off his face, while he was watching the young folks ride it. I loved watching him ride it. Job said it best, didn’t he?

  • @christopher9626
    @christopher9626 Před 2 lety

    I am so grateful of the respect that both of you showed Ed. He is such a special Man and he is beloved by everyone. Watching you and Matt run beside him as He rode, to protect him, was just heart warming. And watching how he was treated as Matt was in the other room giving added commentary on the story, just me happy.
    You both are good Men and I look forward to exploring more of your content as this is my first experience with you.

    Was looking for the progress with Ed's things when I found you folks, and your remarkable way with Ed, and his Rokon.
    Your respect of elders is a breath of fresh air.
    God bless you guys!

    Watching Ed's eyes as the guys were riding that new ROCON you knew he was remembering past rides & itching to get on it. What a distraction for what's to come for him. You guys are gonna make Ed's Century. Blessings on all of you.

    The elderly have some awesome stories to tell, all you have to do is listen. In the 1990's I delivered mail to a senior living condo, it was my favor it part of my day to hear them regale their adventures as I sorted their mail.

  • @belindakt
    @belindakt Před 2 lety

    This whole adventure is so heartwarming. I'm almost as old as Ed, surrounded by kids & grandkids. I watch them play video games, not really interested in the stories, adventures, & knowledge I have aquired in 70+ years. Thank you guys for showing Ed the wonderful respect he so deserves......
