What a Plonker

Are they that hard to get on the stand?

[Rockburner]

Not all bikers are mechanics.... but you'd expect a bit more "nouce.

For anyone trying to figure out why this was posted. Start from 20m in, and watch him fail to get it on the centre stand, and have no understanding that the float valve is stuck open (and he should absolutely not try to start it)

[Skub]

Not really,but they don't fall on like some bikes. It's only a matter of running the front wheel up onto a plank,then any bike will pull up easily. Handy if you have a dodgy back,or a knackered shoulder like him.

As a daft teenager I managed easily to get my GT750 up on the centre stand.

His second video is not much better , he is completely clueless when it comes to maintenance.
The bike does look mint though , it shouldn't take much to sort out.

[Skub]

He tells us he has a degree in electronics and he's stuck after a continuity test...

Not knowing about stuck float valves fixes, either way I'd not be trying to start anything with petrol pissing all over the floor. Having owned several kickstart 2 strokes though I'd not have given it full choke all the time either, especially after the carbs had flooded. In the second vid following this (I watched both last night) someone suggested a plank under the back wheel and he got it on the stand straight away. Still couldn't start it though. But hard to say if iffy ignition as the electrics cut any time the bars turned to the right or due to it being flooded.

He's no mechanic, but he's making a decent living from people clicking on his videos.

He's always struck me as a slightly clueless wannabe, but that hasn't stopped him from monetising his YT channel. Lamb Chop is another one I really don't 'get'. He sets my teeth on edge just watching/listening to him.

Maybe it takes a wise man to play the fool.....

[Supermofo]

I don't mind TMF, I don't think he pretends to be something he isn't. It's not my favourite channel but I watch a fair few of his vids, and for a Youtuber he isn't afraid to speak his mind about a bike if he doesn't gel with it. I suspect being a later in life/born again his journey is similar to a lot of other current bikers.

Lamb Chop. Yeah, not sure what it is but can't click with him.

Freddy Dobbs. I really like him, he's kind of Tim nice but dim character works and he does some interesting stuff and his clueless-ness makes for good viewing.

I was 50/50 on that up to the point where he found out the motor was creating a decent spark, in part 3 video.

Now I'm more 80/20, fool/wise man dedicated to his art.

KEERist, what a clueless, pretentious dipshit.

Edit: It took a fucking week & FOUR videos before he got it running

With KH's (& Z1's etc) you use your left foot on the stand & lift on the grab rail with your right hand, no idea why the hell he was holding the bars.

I like his monthly round up of what's been in MCN,I think it's called 'Bike News'.
He's no mechanic & has a limited knowledge of motorcyclies but he puts a lot of 'Product' out there,I've only watched a couple of his bike reviews as it' quickly became obvious that he knew very little about chassis geometry,suspension or much more than the basics about engines.I think the same could be said about a lot of YT reviewers.I get the impression that he's some kind of Cyber/ computing type.He's not telling people how to do things,in fact if you watch some of his videos you'd probably learn how not to do things,His RE Interceptor project being an example...

To be honest - he's probably like most motorcyclists full stop. I would imagine that the percentage of motorcyclists nowadays who are also mechanically capable is pretty low.

I stopped watching his channel because of that feature. A grown man watching a video of another grown man reading stuff out to him... seems like a low to me.
