    ok holy crap I have a lot to say about this video.
    1. This is an absolute masterpiece before you even consider the bike and the amount of hours that went into it. The drama, the cinematography, it just cant be understated how amazing this is.
    2. I feel bad for the people that wont see this, or will and wont understand it. They're just simply missing out.
    3. This should be shown in schools, like a required part of the curriculum and everything. Like seriously, college graduations, you name it.
    For real, I appreciate the hell out of this video, the effort into the build, the cinematography, just the straight up bold simplicity. I sat here and literally drooled for an entire 30 minutes. Thank you.
    and subscribed definitely

    This video was truly incredible. This the amount of time, money, and effort that went into this restoration is remarkable, it makes me wish that more people would care about what they did. My favorite part was the fact that he went the extra mile to even do the serial number on the bike to where it would stand out. This man has incredible talent, and I can't wait to see his full restoration on his next bike.

    This won't be short, but I want you to read it. This what you have done is so awesome that I almost cried, because I now how much effort you put into building this bike. I am an mechanical engineer and also motorcycle enthusiast. When you started striping it off, I said fuck, this will be a long journey, and it was. I unfortunately don't have time to watch all your videos but this one is amazing. In the middle of the video, I was so disappointed in myself when I have realised that I am probably not capable of doing 10% of what you have done. But man, when you made yourself a new leather seat...... Common man hahaha
    Where does your knowledge stop? What are you, a machine? Just kidding, please enjoy this bike and I am sending you greetings from Croatia. P.S. this is what youtube should be for and not for people like fucking Jake and Logan Paul which are making kids much more stupid than they should be.
