Removing Rust from 35 Year Old Motorcycle Parts
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows Pedro Mota’s work removing rust from parts for his Honda Transalp, a practical detour within his ongoing motorcycle journey around the world. The rebuilding continues into 2017, with the engine guards presenting a particularly stubborn task.
About this film
Rust removal is the focus here: Mota tackles a part before taking a short break for New Year in Queenstown. The work forms part of a larger Transalp rebuild, with numerous components still needing attention. The engine guards require substantial effort, and the description points to trying a different method for them. The film runs for 9 minutes and 45 seconds.
The journey
Mota describes the maintenance as part of life on the road with his Transalp, after more than two years travelling and riding through at least 30 countries. His wider journey has crossed Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Russia, East Asia and Australia. In this episode, the immediate setting is the rebuild and a few days’ pause around New Year in Queenstown; work on the motorcycle resumes in 2017, with more rust removal ahead.
What to expect
- A hands-on episode centred on rust removal from Transalp parts
