I Built a Motorcycle from Home Depot Parts

i've bought thousands of motorcycles from all over the planet but i've never had the super rare home depot motorcycle well sean that's cause home depot doesn't make a motorcycle wrong again craig they do they make all the parts to build a motorcycle it's a puzzle we just gotta put it together and we're gonna do this with the impossible budget of only twelve hundred dollars just grabbing junk out of that guy's truck count as home depot because we could use half that stuff the bike chains can i buy one of those bicycles for five bucks thanks man that counts we're at home people all right so the first dilemma we have to solve is motor driveline i'm thinking the same thing craig's thinking some type of lawn mower did they say stay six feet away from mothers i think so just mothers yeah this ryobi right here is your life first all right so i was working on uh sketching out the diagram what this thing's going to look like let's go find craig so while you were wasting your time i was putting together a diagram of what this thing's probably going to look like oh nice okay should be that hard no no we're halfway there it's gonna be easy we already got the motor maybe some wheels we just need the body uh brembo bait brake steering seats pilot power wheels uh steel brake brake lines and um stuff like that easy now correct that's fully electric lawnmower turn that engine sideways figured a way to bolt the wheel have the engine on the side of the wheel and bolt the wheel right to where the blade is right so then we have throttle yeah we got drive line yep we got everything we could possibly need they're over here yeah holy cow this is crazy wood is more valuable than bitcoin sell your crypto and buy stock and plywood 77 dollars you think we'll be able to build a motorcycle out of only home depot parts yeah i think you can it's an interesting project that's for sure all right all right so here's the basic idea we got tires we got a motor we got some this is kind of like our backup plan because you can just well chained together and kind of make it in any type of form you want to so that may be something we got some wood that could be a thing not sure what that's for no that's glue we have a lot of pencils so i i don't think we have 100 of stuff we need right now we might make a couple trips back to the store but as of right now we spent just under a thousand bucks that's not that bad let's tear into that lawnmower first [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] i'm just riding the trail can you guys believe it takes orange county choppers like three weeks to build a bike and we basically built one in like half a day that's why they're out of business and we're crushing it [Applause] [Music] show it to him show it to him all right so we kind of a problem and but we don't know which way this actually turns hopefully it turns this i don't know uh the other problem is it's not turning at all so we're hoping that maybe there's a tip over sensor inside the engine that's stopping it from running when it's you know essentially sideways where the deck is just hanging over the blades killing and what chance do we just put the ball back on i'm getting there i don't know what we do and all this reminds me of the bible verse proverbs 10 4 a slack hand causes poverty but the hand of the diligent makes rich now as far as i know this has never been done before probably because it's a horrible idea and that's because just like cars motorcycles are finely tuned machines but unlike cars if something goes wrong the consequences can be a little more serious that is why this should be done only by a professional motorcycle builder like myself and craig or anyone who just has a couple bucks and wants to try something like this i'm sure he'd be fine and just when things were looking tough when this task was appearing to be impossible and craig was about to give up for the third time we pushed a little bit more we worked a little bit harder and then something amazing happened [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] using the electric dewalt lawn mower engine in here was an epic fail kind of like the first 12 years of my marriage we've only been married 11 years but just like my marriage it wasn't all bad i'm sure that lawn mower is fine for mowing lawns and whatever else you're going to do with it but kind of a life hack is the fact that the lawnmower itself was 399 dollars it came with two of these dewalt 20 volt 10 amp hour batteries if you were to buy two of these batteries by themself it would cost you more than 400 bucks so you could just buy the whole lawn mower throw it away save 20 bucks and still come out ahead so we need to find another way to power our motorcycle we're walking through home depot and we realized that the pressure washers are horizontal shaft 212 motor which is the same as like the predator 212 motors that you buy at harbor freight and you put them in mini bikes and go-karts and stuff like that so we knew we had a platform that we were actually familiar with and that's exactly what we did built the frame out of wood here's the engine took that piece off put a centrifugal clutch on here chain and a sprocket now i'm sure you're sure you're wondering i've never seen a centrifugal clutch or a sprocket or chain at home depot homedepot.com and that's where they have them and then we have to work up something to keep the chain taught i know this might be slightly over engineered but it gets the job done now i know what you're thinking you're thinking sean where did you get a harley davidson soft tail seat at home depot well actually this is not a soft tail seat it's actually a milwaukee shirt that we bought i got odor control which is good for a seat and its size large and then we found a cushion for outdoor wicker furniture stuck it underneath it and stapled it to the side of the bike and honestly it's it's literally the most comfortable seat i've ever sat in in my life so that's how we got this thing running but what about stopping now we all know that stopping and brakes are for chumps but home depot happened to stock the finest of braking systems and that is right here that's the brembo 5000 and all you got to do is press this lever right here and that engages the brakes now these brakes do have some limitations one you can't use them very often two they don't work when you're going fast and you definitely cannot use them in the rain other than that they are the finest breaks i've ever used now i know what's next on your mind guys and that's shawn how did you make this beautiful piece of artwork street legal and it's a great question let me now explain to you in very clear fine details of how we accomplished that very impossible task and then the mayor says the mayor looks at me and he's like that right there is the most street legal motorcycle i've ever seen in my life and all your past charges are pardoned and we laughed we had a couple drinks it was a great great time i hope that clears things up for you guys so considering the parts that we actually needed to use this beauty came in at only thirteen hundred bucks and here's a word from our latest sponsor have you been thinking about buying a motorcycle but they're just way too expensive ninety thousand dollars two hundred thousand dollars two million dollars huh who are you sir you can't film here does your wife not love you anymore because your motorcycle less like this guy wait what what's going on then you need the home depot bike what didn't know that home depot made bugs did you huh that's cause you're dumb just send five hundred dollars or five payments of five hundred dollars to 1921 mcfarland drive and we'll send you a home depot gift card for 1300 bucks and a parts diagram and you can build your own home depot motorcycle now i think it's pretty clear and obvious that this is this may be the greatest motorcycle that that's ever existed but just to really put that to the test let's do a head-to-head drag race with the one and only the gary bike let's do it three two one go smoked you craig yeah you did if you guys had any doubt that this is not the greatest motorcycle ever hopefully that changes your mind beat everybody now i've sold a lot of motorcycles in the past couple and past couple years but to be honest with you americans don't want motorcycles made with metal frames and and stuff like that what they really want is they want a motorcycle made from house scrap parts and in fact eighty percent of this thing was grown right here in america so just to prove that we're gonna go back to the source and see how easy this thing is to sell it let's go back to home depot all right so here's the scoop we're at home depot we're gonna post this bike out up front and see if i can uh sell to somebody see how it goes [Music] hey you know home depot sells motorcycles uh no this was built using home depot parts you could buy this thing for whatever that price says 23.99 cheaper than harley where are you from i'm from kenya kenya yeah you can probably ride this in kenya how's it going hey you know home depot sells motorcycles we built this whole thing just from home depot parts it's got lights on it check it out go buy it who wants it you look like you ride a motorcycle no you don't you know i don't think people think i really work here so frankly i'm not wearing a mask here we go this guy's totally going to buy it i see you eyeballing this motorcycle all right you want to sit on it though this was built from home depot parts you want to take a first spin all right we'll be back there we come back pretty cool right what is it it's a home depot motorcycle it's really weird looking oh i mean it's not that weird looking nice good i think it's time we do something drastic something i never thought we were going to do we're going sail this will bring the people to us no it's gas not bad right does that look like something you might be interested in this home depot is held in sprocket yeah homedepot.com okay i'll put you down maybe well that's enough sales for one

With $1,200 I bet he could have got a pipe bender and welder and not have a tinder box.
