Mitch is a very cool dude and his videos are amazing because for obvious reasons he doesn't bog them down with any useless chatter whatsoever. Once you see how he does them, the filler that occupies so much of so many other peoples' videos becomes apparent.

I first ran across his vids when I was figuring out how to use a GoPro many years ago, and then was amazed when my YT browsing crossed paths with him again in scooterdom. He is a seriously good video editor - by that I don't mean flashy, I mean clear. I love the way he puts little highlighting shapes around the fasteners he's working on in post-production.

Here's some more information about him. His last name is just "Bergsma," BTW. This is a bit out of date because he moved himself, his wife, and some (but not all) of his scooter collection to Hawaii a few years ago.

Thanks for the link Juan. He's an interesting fellow and if I lived close by to him, I'd find a way to become friends with him. He's a unique individual for sure.

Hey, c'mon, that's the lifeline of all bike & scoot forums.

Like, in our local classic Brit bikes forum, there is a new consensus that engines from 50's and 60's, typical project bikes, actually run just fine with standard modern fully synthetic oils...contrary to earlier purists' opinions. Even the wet clutch ones.

Bite, anyone...? Popcorn emoticon
I love all of these so much. I change more oil in different bikes and do more tires and brakes in a week than most home owner joe DIY dicks do in a lifetime. But they all wanna talk about oil and this and that and the other thing.

One MAJOR part of my job is keeping your bike running- so, like, it doesn't blow up and you keep coming back for more work.

But everybody wants to believe what bullshittery they read online.

The second MAJOR part of my job? Making sure your bike is safe so you don't die.

Because dead people don't come back for service. And that's kind of a bad look.

So if I say you need tires, best to listen.

Spot on greasy!

I watched some of the video, but Youtube isn't really my thing unless I need to really see or hear something.
I absolutely agree with the posters who feel Youtube provides useful instructional videos. That's why I led my post with the sentence above. The video from this oil post wasn't what I'd call instructional. IMO, the video format was counterproductive... How quickly did those spreadsheets (with the test results) flash through the video? I had to watch all the crap, and couldn't even examine the results. Maybe I need to get better at fast forwarding/pausing video, but it just seems less efficient than skimming text.
