Thats great Rusty,  :thumbsup  nearly makes me want to rush out to the shed and start on mine except that it's 40 degrees.  :H   Might wait for some cooler weather.

Excellent production.  Almost looks like you had a rehearsal, it went so well.  You seem to have thought of everything- I was a bit worried about the glue that was pushed to the end, whether it would stick the throttle, but you cleaned it out at the throttle end.

I love silent movies with subtitles.  Don't have to miss a thing!   :)

And I fully approve of your hair stylist's work.   :grin

Yes the longest part of production was the setting up of tripod and yelling action.   If my make up trailer was closer id have saved some time too .. :p

I was going to include a soundtrack but the youtube Nazi's pull copyrighted material faster than a bar maid pulls a beer.

Ditto

I replaced my grips a few years back and they never seemed that difficult to remove. I cleaned off the bar ends and just used soapy water to slide the new grips back on. They haven't moved since.

The $5.99 ones are lacking quality and heat.  Im looking to upgrade,  at least the wiring has been done.. . :grin

Oxford grips, amazing.  no blue fingers, and comfy.

I see they are still on eBay from who I bought them off. Highly recommended.
