Yo what’s up everyone ProjectMoto here, so um today we’re finally doing it, we’re putting back together the RGV250, let’s crack on with the Video right so here it is all the bits, got all the wheels, we got all the swing arm,
Frame and stuff in there, bearings, brake disc, chain. that’s the forks we’ve been waiting for , there’s the Ohlins rear shock we’ve been waiting for, now we just got to remember how to put it all back together, right you ready for this? I’m ready ! do you remember how to put it back together?
Not a clue! do you remember what bike it is? well not really.. it was so long ago.. we don’t even know if all these bits fit or anything do we? no, right I’ll get the swing arm, swing arm first? yeah, swing arm..
Right so we got to put bearings in this, so first I suppose we got to work out what bearings? I watched the scary movie dinner scene this morning, oh did you? yeah right let’s have a look at
The picture.. oh dear.. you got waffles? what are you going to put on it? need something on it, you got knife what you hot a knife for? i’m going to cut the waffle we need some maple syrup or something, oh hang on I’ve got some..
That’s a scary movie.. go and nick some butter from upstairs, we don’t really know what’s going on here do we? we will in a minute, lets look at it nice, that goes in there, touches.. we should have a little bit of.. that’s it perfect, look
At that, we got a little bit of touching, oh we’re touching, grease them bits, that’s that one, I went to bed early last night, what time? about 9, half 9? you went to bed at half nine? yeah I know
That’s why I took a photo of it! it’s cuz I only had 2 hours kip the night before, I was a bit tired, did you talk to Whisper’s? no Whisper’s didn’t come on man, right , let’s get the frame on here and you can stand that in that box down there if you want
We’ve got to take all them bolts out look at this.. this needs to go off, alright so I think if we turn that over a sec, this bit.. oh yeah, bolts on here, that’s it yeah, man.. it’s so good to see it starting going back together ain’t it ? yeah,
What did you do yesterday? what’ you do last night? ate, what? loads..you can’t remember can you? I do remember, what’ did you have? six chicken breasts, six chicken breasts?? they’re not big they were small, there was six of them and I cooked them and then.. what ate them all ?? yeah !
Jesus Christ !! should I get me Ohlins rear shock out then? I think you might have to in a minute.. so we’ve got the Ohlins rear shock, we might as well say that that’s what we’ve been waiting for,
The shock and the forks, maybe some of the Ohlins bits were made in like Ukraine or somewhere?? alright? yeah, rear swing arm pivot nut.. yes? pivot nut 50 to 80 nm, you have to hit that round with a screwdriver won’t you? and a hammer?? don’t think I use a
I don’t think i will use a screwdriver, oh look..one of these? that size? something like that that will do it, up down, up down.. i was hoping i’d be riding it by now, that looks pretty good, A little bit more your way, he coming we got washer and nuts go on this
Keep coming.. we’ve got a washer and nut to go on this end haven’t we? it’s here. right we’ve got to have a little bit of a tidy up here, before we go any further maybe we want to pull that Ohlins out
And see if it even fits in between all the bits? it’ll fit, look at this.. oh look look at these.. look at these ..they look expensive, spend £2.5k and you get a free sticker, he’s cool oh it’s tight adjustable I’m finger
That is cool, oh its height adjustable as well, I’m fingering a hole, yeah i know, do you see how much help I’ve been so we’re going to put that in.. the Ohlins is going to go on, the old Onions yeah I might put one on the swing arm?? or the other side? well I’ve
Got the black and white on my forks with the black Forks, we’ll see once it’s built, look at that Liam !! right ,there’s none of these with this on there, you’ve seen a few RGV’s in this configuration haven’t you?
Yeah I left two like that ! yeah you’re usually laying on the floor in pieces next to it, all that money you spent on this, I know! they did such a good job powder coating this and then Paul comes along.. Wheelworx Colchester that’s the place nice and tight
Look at that ,yeah you all good? that don’t look like a Ducati?? its the RGV..what and you’re letting him touch it? yeah look at that.. it works, should be the other way up Paul that swing arm.. What?? you [ ] idiot
It’s got to go in that way cuz of this bit, has to be backwards, right okay I don’t think it would fit any other way, right hold it there because I need the bolts, well I know we’re only 30 seconds
Into the video.. but we’re 4 hours into the day! have a look through that hole.. up a bit, not that much !! Cody keep away from me ..you put that on me & I’ll punch you in the mouth, Cody stop making gesturing behind my back, you ready.. 14 mate, where are we? 14,
No wonder we’re 4 hours into the video actually looks like it might work don’t it? 50? you got it on a 50? yeah it’s only 50 newton metres, that’s it, I need to know what kind of bits I’m getting next,
What am I going to be doing? the yolks and the forks? you want to get rolling chassis first don’t you? so you want to put Forks in now you want to do top and bottom yolk, head bearings,
Next, that’s the bit you want to do next, what you looking worried about? I’m not worried.. I’m looking forward to it, that’s his permanent face, it’s gas! where are they? there here, there’s one,
Come on stop goofing around with your [ __ ] bolts bruv, shut up you too you got to take plastic off bro shut up you two, you’ve got to take the plastic off first I know that, that’s not my job, I’m fitting them, I waiting for old slasher here
Look with a blade, slashed yourself up again, you know I done my eye I’m doing these bags under his, I I reckon I can just cut a little slit out, slot it together and glue it steel drums, do you like steel drums? I love them yeah, yeah you like Jamaican
Stuff, yeah love steel drums, that’s what you like playing when you’re having your meal don’t you? steel drums yeah normally when I’m eating I like it in the background we want to find a socket that fits that nicely, yeah, right so the Ohlins is in, the yolks are in , yes? yeah,
So now we can get these forks out, one, take that one.. this is this side? that’s that side isn’t it? yeah alright, that’s not the outside is it? yeah so that’s the inside but that’s got to go that way..
What they behind the forks, the brakes ain’t on the front are they? brakes are behind alright it’s a modern bike isn’t it not like one of mine, come on Sawn Off get around there.. [ __ ] off Sawn Off.. come on hold it still, I’m try it’s balancing on , well balance it nicely,
Its balancing on the shock nip them, they ain’t going to go nowhere, how far are they supposed to come through the one thing these do is turn you don’t need to drop through the yolks and all the rest, so we just adjust it 5mm?
No I reckon Andy’s right, I reckon put it to the top, I’ll put it to the top, yeah.. cheese & onion he’s a prick ain’t he? if you rode it with 10mm through You”d have been like oh my God, yeah, you would have
Closed one one eyelid and it would have [ __ ] gone around the corner, I’ve only got one eyelid, yeah he’s only got one eyelid yeah, man look at that, yeah you happy? yeah get your front Wheel in, got discs on the wheels? no we can put them on now there they ready to go,
The bearings are in the wheels, so get that off, let’s get the wheels and discs on, careful.. easy.. where you want to go? easy tiger ,just put it on the floor down there or something right front wheel look at them Wheels.. nice Bright white isn’t it??
What you don’t like them? I like them, I love them, love those wheels right.. fixed isn’t it? you had any lunch? I ain’t had nothing yet, I’m not even sniffed at food but what way do they go? that way? how many you got there? oh loads well you don’t seem to be very enthusiastic today! I love the bike, 9 months ago we stripped this down, it’s not my fault it’s taken so long ! but
You should be jumping around with , I’m jumping with joy, see what I mean, i know! im very happy, i have to put up with him every day, he keeps coming in with his Lip down, put up with me? tripping over his lip when he comes in,
That’s because of that hat, your your lip’s gone like your hat, I’m keeping warm, it looks like [ __ ] Compo will that make you feel better if you have a cup of tea? yeah it always does, I don’t know where you
Got that hat? where did you get that hat? Cliff ! oh yeah, well look how big Cliff is ,yeah it fits him, it fits him it don’t you, right so I look at this sprocket carrier, you want tea? I want tea first, alright lets have tea..
What you’ve been given there Liam?who are they then? don’t ask for the other half are, well I’d hardly say that’s half a pack, it’s not even a third ,it’s quarter of a pack, where did you get them?
Uh from my desk, I’ve been eating them this morning, are you going to have a hobnob or a Kit Kat then? what flavor are these? milk chocolate, I’l have a hobnob, what’s in that one? sugar,
That’s cleaner than his cup, speak of the devil, why you like that to me today? what? not feeling it, I’m feeling it, I don’t know what the problem is with you? you’re like that thing, look, there’s no need to get so angry, he’s getting angry, shut up Roid Rage
Do you want a cup of tea? please, milky ? hold on, oh what you put in it? that’s twice I put sugar in his cup, oh you got a Kit Kat i’ got one for me and one for Nick
You’ got the Hobnob, don’t worry about Nick, I said I’d get Nick one, why he at all them Hobnobs all day, well he’s going to be a fat little..Cypriot, God bless him, God bless him Governor, i might got o Cyprus, i’d like to go,
It’s nice, is it hot now? you should have took time in the summer when it was hot, well was it? what you mean was it? Europe had a heat wave of course it was hot, I didn’t know that, you didn’t know
That yEurope had a heat wave? the place was on fire, I don’t want to go in a heat wave, why ?well you can’t do anything can you? of course you can, Sunbath ! you know I like doing things, when you went on
Holiday what did you do? it wasn’t a holiday was it? I think flying to like Ibiza classes as a holiday Mmm.. I do love a finger ! we’ve got a gold chain to go on this as well, yeah are we going to put this back on here.. the frame? stick the front wheel in,
Nice man looks like a BMX chuck the engine in & we’re done aren’t we? yeah go out for a ride on it, we’re ready to go we got the engine there, how was that? carrying that, it was alright, it was alright, so I’m
Guessing, it’s all a guess, if we lift that up onto there, yeah, or should we lift it up onto that Jack thing? it’ll start looking like a bike, you got the the bolts? the engine bolts? i have no idea what they are..
We might need a bit of a hand Cody as well, you see these bits here..they are in that, that’s the bolt, that bolt, then there’s a little bracket on the back here what bolts into that, that’s it, that’s it, stay exactly where you are… right i’m exactly where i am..
So that was the hard bit, getting the engine in, got get this off anyway for the chain, yeah got get that off, it’s actually becoming a bike again man, we got a new front sprocket
To put on there, once we get that sub frame on, the TYGA one, we can work out what bits will go in, because remember there was stuff under all the seat and stuff here, so can you get the stand on now?
We can put the stand on it, let’s do this right so this is day two this is where we got yesterday isn’t it ? we got Alfie working on there today, uh so what you think? we’ll put the subframe on,
We can put the chain and sprocket on, we’ll put the rest of this frame on, we’ll put the footrest Hangers On, we can probably put the exhaust on, yeah get all that sort of stuff done, ive got a Ducati hat now
It’s very good yeah yea.. is it warmer? where’d you get that hat? that’s what I need, you’ve got hair, I need a hat, you can buy this hat, how much? I don’t know how much you got? but
Let’s get this off first and put the chain on, oh yeah I’ll get the other sprocket , Chain & Sprocket.. he’s like a surgeon, you could be part of my Eye Surgery Clinic.. thing is i drop things, like that, if you was part of my eyelid and foreskin Surgery Clinic
You can do the foreskins, I’m very much looking forward to my first day at work then you want a spanner or something for that, this bit of frame’s got to go up, then we can bolt all the engine together, make sure that’s all bolted in, there here are they? well some of them,
And then the bottom one and then we got the two these two bolts to do.. that one and that one, rear sub frame.. that’s a bit lighter isn’t it? yeah, put the top in,
Right there I’ve got to go out in the van, don’t squirt on me, I’m telling you you’ll get punched, Cody! look at them eh? you bolt them up alright? where you been anyway? Billericay, oh yeah how was it?
It’s great, you know what I saw? I tell you what I saw, what? there’s a woman walking a dog.. the dog had a one piece suit on, legs and head and everything of Tigger , have you seen one?? no I’ve not seen one no, the whole suit ,either that or I was tripping man…
What pads we got? racing pads, racing road brake pads, they’re nice brakes aren’t they? yeah well they’re what Suzuki use aren’t they? yeah these are the standard brakes be like brand new them brakes, uh well so we might as well end it there for a minute i was kinda editing it

Getting wet, I didn’t get wet and what I like is that everyone looks as if to go.. he’s [ __ ] mad, why is he on a motorbike in this weather, you know what? literally I thought as I come back then, I thought I need to get Frankie out,
