There are a lot of skills I wish I had, and the ability to tear about and diagnose old bikes that probably no one but me cares about is definitely one of them. Granted, I know it's a skill that has to be earned, and that you don't just wake up one day with all the knowledge in your head. It's one of those things from the Wachowskis' Matrix universe that honestly would be kind of nice; the ability to simply download whole manuals and reference texts directly into your brain. But I digress.
Lucky for me (and probably also you), Craig, AKA the Bearded Mechanic, is a guy who has those skills. And he shares them regularly with any who care to watch his YouTube channel, so we can live vicariously through him as he systematically takes apart and goes through random vintage motorbikes, mostly from Japan.
This time around, his crew were picking up scrap metal when they turned up a random old '70s (probably) Kawasaki motorcycle. It's one where he's not even sure what it is at first, though he later surmises that it's probably a 1972 or '73 KE100.
