  A big salute for Doug for supplying a new larger cleaning machine. Very generous and kind Doug, may God bless you.  Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

  I maybe wrong but this is the first bike he ever washed before he started working on it 😅

  I'm usually all about keeping the looks of the bike unchanged, but as with the other bike that had the windjammer removed, it's clear the windjammers "kind of" ruin the aesthetics. So it's the right decision. The bike looks far better without.

  Hi Joe <br>I&apos;ve been watching your videos for over a year now.<br>I have one thing to say and that is thank you so much for making these videos. High quality, no nonsense and most of all no noisy music 😊<br>I&apos;ve been out of work for more than a year due to PTSD and your calm approach and calm voice have saved my day more than once. So I&apos;m looking forward to watching your videos every day.<br>But you also inspired me to buy an old Honda cm 400t from 81. It&apos;s coming to life nice and easy if I can get a new seat somewhere 😂.<br>I wish you the best day.<br>Greetings from Denmark <br>Br Anders

  Hey Joe. First of all I want to say I love your videos, I have been battling cancer for the last 10 months and spend most of my time in bed (sucks!) . Your videos are the one thing I have to look forward to. You are the real deal. God bless You and your family, and Vinny. Take care from &nbsp;London Ontario Canada. ☺️👍

  Gotta be all that carbon build up keeping the rings stuck and compression passing the cylinder walls. Thanks for your videos Joe. Anxious to see her fire up.

  I had that same TX500 in high school. I now own a 75 XS500 in pristine original condition. I had to rebuild the motor on the 75 due to low compression. &nbsp;Went 1 size over with pistons and rings and a fresh bore. Bike runs like a sewing machine now. Such a fun little motor bike. I get compliments on it all the time and it even won a 2nd place at a bike night. Mine came with a clear plexiglas bubble fairing, &nbsp;crash bars a padded passenger back rest and rack. All that removed, (but saved). Good work and cant wait to see the next video.

  It may be interesting to meet Doug, the generous man posing as &quot; Santa &quot; with all those gifts ???

  Emery board for filing finger nails works great for cleaning points!
