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

And we had loads more bits to go on  there and do stuff so we’re going to do this sort   of rebuild in a few different videos but man oh  I’m so pleased the RGV is going back together,

Andy this week, no he’s off , Bob Geldof, he Don’t Like Mondays, Tuesdays.. also Paul went London yesterday didn’t you?   I’ve heard yeah, I went to London, and you know  what’s really good? like Dick Whittington I was, you want  

About half? yeah about half, you know what I like? he  said he loves going there, that he now wants to go   to London on the train, it’s my favorite place  to go, i can go on the train on my own now, seriously you can  

Go on the train on your own now? yeah, have you  got your special pass now Paul? no, funny enough   my uncle when he got his free bus pass, yeah, I’d go &  see my aunt & she don’t see him, he’s just out on  

Buses and trains all the time, Paul you’re going to  be going everywhere man, I’l get a bus to work Nick,   be here about 12:00pm, well you’re still be here  before us, you leave at 5am, the only thing is the  

Bus don’t go in Morrison, you’re going to have  to walk in there and you’re going to have no   nowhere to sleep,I walked yesterday, I walked  from the embassy back to the station.. 4.9 miles!! 

Jesus Christ!! like me the other morning at 6am in  the morning, we know all about Martyn & his walks at   that time in the morning, it normally means he’s  very heavily intoxicated, I was not suitable for Road Use!!

Did you have the guitar or did you go back  for the guitar? no I left the guitar, I only just   picked it up about two days ago, I had a gig  to do, I had a request, did you? yeah , were you a  

One man band? i was a one man band, it’s like that Nick, Drums going on his foot, Dick Van Dyke so ive just been out on them bikes, you could be Dick Van Dick couldn’t you?

Six 6 degree’s out there and I noticed  I got a hole there in my leathers, could you feel water ?  i think I’ve been fingering, I loved it out there, I  thought you going to say I love fingering?? SP2,  

SP2, SP2. 2x Streetfighters, Panigale and a Monster,   yeah, in 6 degrees, wet weather, love it he loved it!   I actually came back and I I thought this  is my favorite conditions, I don’t know what he  

Likes about it but he likes it all, I think  it’s my favorite riding conditions, I like that   when you come out a roundabout you proper have to get  your body position right, get on the throttle   all the time you thinking, he loves  getting wet, it’s the excitement of it I think, he likes  

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,  

I need to commute in this weather, he’s like a man that  can’t be stop, the Unstoppable man, the unstoppable man..  is that thing in the fridge Mart? yeah, oh no when’s  someone going to chuck that !!
