Hi all

I have been messing with youtube, trying to come up with some sort of index for my vids.
This is what I have come up with, a sort of clicky manual, I am hoping it will help people find the stuff they want to do,
without the thankless task of trying to search.
With a bit of daft at the start

I do eventually get to the point.

I hope the annotations work the same as they do on YT, fingers crossed

I am still adding annotations but it should not take too long.

No question, these are some of the most useful resources on this forum.

Well done, very well done; thanx.

thanks GPZ
you makin me blush

I think this index thing is going to work ok,
I'm still milling ideas of how to link stuff.
I am thinking start to finish jobs, using links and shorter specific video's

comments welcome of how I can make this work better
(I sound like bl**dy a youtube poster

)

seeing as I started this as a bit of fun and something to do,
I am amazed at how many people have had a look at my vids
209382 to date

and rising.
my "hits" show Carbs, Boyer (timing) and clutch are priority, respectively.
Well that's Triumph!! get them sorted and the rest is easy street.

Your videos have been very useful.Now with the index video it is so simple to find something.I tell fellow riders about your videos all the time when they ask how I fix my bike.Seeing you fix your bike clears up so much that is missed on threads at times.

Nice one John

After my poor, amateur-ish attempts at making short videos, I understand how difficult it is.
Well done, indeed!

Thank you giacomo67

Its great being able to help people from afar, most of my stuff I learned by watching others and being a pain asking questions all good info given to me for free so I see it only right to pass it one to like minded people.
btw I just finished a strobing vid! sorry its a bit late

Caulky the only way is up!! you've had a go.
Your vids like mine need a bit of tidying up nothing more,
its amazing when watching them back, how you think "I wish I had said this or that! or done this or that! Oh! no I got my hand in the way"
I now do the thing with the camera for a vid and at the end, I like to do the whole job again.
Though its correct (hopefully) I like to repeat the process with my one track mind "to get it right" and only think of the rebuild
with no distractions of making the vid.

Nice one Plewsy!
I discovered your vids on utube before I bought my Bonnie and before I found this forum! As usual they are great and a great help to all of us both new and old to the spanners

It also makes life a lot easier for us to answer a lot of the questions frequently asked here, instead of having to sit down to try and write a detailed reply that my take an hour, we can just refer them to your vids (that takes about 30 secs

)
Keep up the good work, as I've said before you should have your own series on TV, you're much better than that Mark Evans bloke! (Who cheats if you watch "a bike is born" carefully

)

Plewsy - Fantastic! Supercalifragilisticexpialidotious! Only you gotta quit reading my mind! Every video I've seen of yours made me think, "Only if I knew where I could get each of these by topic, sorted....." And the way you made it so easily accessible by clicking on the screen is absolute genius!

What a resource!

Old Chinese proverb goes like this:

I hear - I forget.

I see - I remember.

I do - I understand.

It's the old principle of apprenticeship - the best method of teaching there is. It's the method Jesus used. And other than in trades, it's lost today. A "Master" teaches the student, and showing him, having him watch "the Master" teaches like nothing else. And you are one of our "Masters" !!!

An invaluable resource for not just us, the the whole world - the whole world of those who love and tackle these old, wonderful machines.

THANK YOU!

Now, if you just add a translator for some of your limey accent for some of us Yanks on the west side of the pond, it will be perfect!
