  So in awe at James after all he's been through, to still have the passion and excitement of a small child, yet have the knowledge of many years on these bikes. You two have the same sense of humour, and seem to get on so well, it's great to see. Awesome video, thanks.

  I don't care what anyone says, 2 stroke GP bikes were the absolute dogs danglies.  That made my spine tingle when it fired up. Absolutely gorgeous,  cracking job guys 👌👍

  Late to the party, but fair play there is nothing as good as the sound of a 2 smoker, road race, road or motocross bikes👏 The starting of 2strokes is the only time i wish we had smell-o-vision😂

  Jim is the reason I'm a huge Yamaha fan, watching him demolish the field on the Fast Orange YZF was my introduction to racing. Sometime later my dad bought a TZ350 outfit, fun times were had. Jim even had chairs on at some of the trackdays he ran, just the nicest bloke in racing. Brilliant to see Lee and Jim together, not to mention the ultimate racing motorcycle of all time. More please.

  Thank you so much Lee, at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaCyTdwpH3g&amp;t=3503">58:23</a> when Jamie mentioned Butch.....I was back in &quot;Nam....I spent 4 GP&apos;s in the Paddock with Padgetts in 94. Butch is a legend, &nbsp;Huddersfield lad, I will never forget the Czech GP afterparty. I had shivers going up my spine. Thanks again from Australia.

  As a 2 stroke guy who is the same age as James, I can feel the emotions he is having . After resurrecting something so special like a bike you raced is surreal and almost as if you’ve gone back in time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I also enjoyed the GSXR 50 RB50 cameo😎 Well done Lads👍🏼

  What I like about these videos is the bike is the star of the show not the YouTuber&apos;s like so many garage hero&apos;s. &nbsp;Keep it going fella&apos;s great job.

  I punched the air when it started - as did many others across the country. What a job, what a bike!
