Look up C 90 adventure u might be impressed

You mean i was in the same town as Zac & Ari!!! Wish you guys did meet and treats when you travel, i would have loved to meet you guys. I’m actually looking at buying a trail 125 for it’s ridiculous carrying capacity

Yall crazy

@@kennethalcorn7104 Read the video description and you might be surprised.

@@AriH211 look up what I said there's an English fellow basically went round the world on one he did what they did in the winter it's worth watching smart ass 🤣

I cried man… He didn’t give up on ninety. He push for them to get there. I would do that for my precious too. Would push my girl to get to the end.

Me too!

Amazing footage guys. Really enjoyed this video. You guys rock !

Copy

Well said.👍

Just having a little Sam and Frodo moment. I love it.

I legit teared up at that moment. That little Honda died in a blaze of glory.

That's where I wept man.... Seeing them both pushing their little tough buddy to the finish line. Oh! ❤️😭

No, I'm not tearing up, you are!

Usually the problem with still engines isn't the still part ... is not properly checking and cleaning all the parts before the first run . It will have rust, sludge, gunc and all kind of debris so take all apart, check and clean before

@@contytub When i bought my 1975 CT90, i put a clean tank on it, a new chinese carb and a new battery. Kicked over after a few tries and ripped around the yard on a back flat tire and no brakes :D Ran terrible but stall ran, oh and the bike was sitting under a tree in the yard :D Going to do a proper tear down and rebuild the engine and getting it running better. I want to have a cheap fun bike to rip around town on

@@HackoDis how much does it cost where u live? here in AU its literally almost 2k for a preowned that's in decent condition

@@visin8984 For a rideable ct90 it can be as high as 3500 bucks!! I got mine for 600 bucks with a ton of extra parts and a frame. I paid 500 bucks for a rolling frame with an engine. I seen a 110 for sale for 800 bucks, it was just really dusty and maybe a tune up. It all depends on when and where the deals are at.

@@HackoDis1979 ct 90 all original 5100 miles hasn't run for 5 years $ 1,500....South Florida.

But - Scenery/Horsepower is far more impressive, and goes up when horsepower goes down... ;-)

supposed to be other way around

The rear right blinker did this constantly on my 76 CT to the great amusement of all my riding buddies😂

@@ddorko is this a feature or the blinker really getting loose?

Well it's got no brain and it's thus not an animal, so yeah, checks out.

Same here 😂

That turn signal is my mind during long solo rides 😂

It's so cool that you have one of the old low displacement full sized motorcycles. I've been looking for something like that and they don't really make them anymore here, and the old ones are incredibly rare. I'm trying to find a replacement for my 500cc adventure touring bike for a Honda CG125 or similar full sized small displacement bike. They are certainly have their advantages, I used to have a Honda 100 that I took places I would never dream of taking even a "lightweight" adventure bike.

A bigger and more powerful bike is also safer, especially in the city. So it's not just about going on fun longer rides.

Amen brother amen. Well said

And hey, hit me up, I just gout me a trail 125 2022. I don't know if I can go on one of these long trip runs but may be that day will come and me and you can maybe do that together!??!

Ki dada 😅

I'm not going to start crying over a tiny motorcycle in a YT video. I repeat, I'm NOT going to star- *starts to cry

I think I was your DCS stream that you mentioned about getting into bikes. If so, you're gonna have some fun for sure.

Drewski here..omg🤗

Did not imagine you being here.. but small world I guess!

Wow.. drewski here...

Didn't realize the video was almost 50 min long until I saw your comment. Watched the whole thing in a breeze. Great videos.

i choked up there, not gonna lie :)

Choked up there. Then choked on my coffee when that beautiful, emotional scene was followed up with “is that a whale carcass?”

Technically you can! But you'd end up unliking the video because one hundred is an even number.

A very good quote.

Totally. Then they can take it back to S. California and park it next to "Dave". They could name it "Nanook".

He did. An almost total rebuild. And it ran flawlessly.

I will do the same once I get enough money to travel from europe and ship my bike there.

I've got a shitty Italika that has moved me for quite some time I plan on doing the same trip as soon as I get enough money for it, I want my steel boy to see the end of the world. Cheers!!

Cheerish the ride moment.

You rode a fuckin FJR up a dirt road that was over 400 miles long? I'm honestly surprised that bike made it intact. That's crazy!

Well done Don aged 71 I am just proud that I motorcycled all over Europe..

I really like this image.

Teddy on a RV 90 me on XR75 laughing our fool heads off. More fun than riding big bikes

waving and geeting people like that isnt really thought up in the north. doesn't mean the people aren't friendly if you talk to them :)

I hit 70 on mine

Awaiting your book! :-D

I wish they had those cheap Chinese $125 2 stroke motorized bike kits back when I was 14-15-16. I would have rode it back & fourth to work longer to save up for a better car.

They could get some speed if the downhill was steep enough - and if you had a tailwind !

Hey Chris My first bike was a Honda 65 cub I purchased for $50AU second hand back in 71. I had a lot of fun on that bike. Yep I’ve owned a lot of bikes since them days lol.

This is what happens when you think, "it doesn't look that hard to do", and then you just go for it.

Also, bc it's perfect speed to see the world. Not too fast where u miss! Can not wait to get my 1970 100% long riding like this. Not fully confident, although very new w this ride yet. As I also dreamed about driving a bike 2 years prior. As I sat, and boom, same front I dreamed of. Weird! I mean, never even heard of these bikes but wanted something unique. And omgh.

And having a mean producer that u can’t share any food with

For me it's amazing how similar main roads in the states look. Don't matter if you're in NJ, Upstate NY, PA, Maine or apparently Alaska.

So true , in Europe I don't think you can even buy the Honda 225cc gt, but yes in Asia they are everywhere n indeed they get the job done!

You can't really go fast in crowded Asian cities anyway

I dunno, there are 125cc bikes absolutely everywhere in the UK. Mostly I think as a stepping stone towards bigger bikes but there's still plenty of them.

@@PatriiiiickMost motorbikes I see in the UK are 125cc. Usually loaded with pizza.

It was unexpectedly poetic (if that's the right word)

That ct90 made a world record!

dude seriously why did that hit me like that

I feels the same too

where men cry

Thanks for the spoiler alert. 😕

Guess I should watch the videos all the way through before looking at the comments. 😁

I did a similar trip in 05 on my KDX 200 and left my bike and hitched a ride on a quad to the point because my rear sprocket was so beat I thought it'd strip the teeth in the sand.

If you like stuff like this go watch c90adventures. Goes from Alaska to Argentina. And a few more long road trips

@@CholoTv1 yeah I follow him, that's a great series. Thanks for the tip

It's ashame they didn't replace some of the 50 year old parts. Bike would've made this trip without blinking an eye. I'd take my 73 on this trip and back no problem.

It would be awesome to convert it to fuel injection and modern ignition system.

@@Chocolate_dragonseriously. A new NGK coil wire spliced on and a Pardue Brothers rectifier would have gone along long way in improving the ignition system. Also they never showed them checking the points gap, timing or valve lash which are all the critical things for the ct to run it's best. It definitely is a testament to Honda reliability that they were able to pull a bike that had been non running in a garage for years and do minimal work and then flog the everloving snot out of it and have it only die out on the last 100 yards.

My workmate had one locked up due to rainwater ingress. I hammered the piston out with a lump of wood and a hammer. There were rust spots everywhere. Honed the barrel, new rings, liberal oil applied. Ran great afterwards. As long as the cam and head are OK, then no problems.

@@otter9099 no need.

If you like this look up Ed March C90 adventures or Car Throttles recent road trips

Imagine if they teamed up with Ryan f9 and did a show like top gear? Omg

@@dextermeth damn, that's a hell of a good idea, I didn't knew I needed a collab before.

True, wish those 3 would made those roadtrips again

@@LeprosuGnome Ryan F9 is often on Highside Lowside, I would give it a listen!

Legend status achieved right there.

I envy you for the place you get to ride lol

@@beardywally while the views literally cannot be beat anywhere else in the country, as far as I've seen, the downside is we only have about 5, maybe 6 if we're lucky, months to ride up here before the snow makes the roads too nasty. I consume so much media on KZfaq to scratch my itch during the snowy months. 😩

Have you seen The Long Way 'Round, or The Long Way Down?

Yeah, also great productions 👍🏼👍🏼

You having a laugh?

@@jacquesmaritz7980 shut up surfer dude

Have you seen itchy boots?

Have enjoyed your adventures, but not done with all your videos just yet!

Lots of love man! I hope you are well!

@@SamiNami yeah I'm fine thanks. Currently assembling my new editing desk ($70 on Marketplace), and my editing chair ($20). New videos are inbound. My plan is to refine my editing process so I can create waaaaay more content. Sorry about the 11 month wait already ☹️

​@@c90adventures Nothing to be sorry about. Last time I checked the price of your videos is free, so you don't really ow us anything. Glad you are doing well. And thanks for all the inspiration :)

We thought about you a lot while making this episode. Mostly about how much gnarlier you are than us. Thanks for the kind words and for the inspiration.

Very well 👏

You sound like a good rider and a writer. 👍

Great post 👍🏽👍🏽

Small bikes are way easier to handle on teails and get way better mileage

What's a "slope worker"?

@@lexingtonconcord8751 It is a local term for basically everything north of the brooks range in Alaska, usually the super flat part at the top of Alaska north of the arctic circle that seems to “slope” away from the mountains, where our oil production happens.

Correct!!, all that area is called the NORTH SLOPE

same. Great work!

I will only buy American now. I also don't buy from the billionaires' corporations, such as Harley Davidson.

Friends tell friends why it's dumb to be atheist:: 1. God often hides from nations of sinners, then unleashes terror. 2. If you think God stopped doing this, then you haven't read Revelation. 3. Why God banned graven images:: it can lead ALL to worship sun, moon, & stars. It's Satanism. 4. Porn is graven images. It's led people away from Jesus. Pew Research says America already has as many as 1.5 million witches, Wiccans. Lgbt flags are in schools. Drag queen story hours are happening in libraries and even churches. Satanists already put Satanic statues at state capitol buildings. Atheism leads most people to Democratism. Terror will be the result. I wonder if KZfaq will ban this or stop the up votes again.

Billionaires and their billionaire media are enemy #1: - The top 1% of Americans own more than 1/3rd of America's wealth. - The top 5% of Americans own more than 2/3rds of America's wealth. - The lower 95% spread the remaining scraps between 95% of the people. - The top 3 billionaires have more wealth than the bottom 50%. Buying groceries and such from corporations, rather than from smaller stores, funds the billionaires' scheme to bring in new world order dictatorship. Note: The top 1% also happen to own the major media, making it easy for them to steer the stock markets up and down so they can constantly skim away trillion$. Or do you trust these old world pagan Luciferians (SATANIC!). Note: The top 1% also use their corporations to flood $$ to Democrat and RINO political campaigns. The majority loses because of too few $$ & Democrats cheating. The sell-out politicians then use our own tax $$ to destroy us. Most all billionaires want poverty and dictatorship for you. It's called new world order, and (fake) great reset. Their Luciferian Freemasons infest all groups, even most churches, even in most small towns. Freemasons started the greek-letter college fraternities and are said to use them to target patriots who expose them and billionaires. As atheism increases, failure happens, with America now 29 trillion in debt. Jesus said, "and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

@@clickhereforshowittoothers2184 sure bud.

As an Electra Glide owner, I'm not sure which one is more impressive: Riding a Glide up there or a Honda scooter :D

Artic warfare survival! Man that sounds awesome. You must be tough as they come

Were you USAF? I served from 1993-2001. Respect and thanks for what you did for our men and our country.

They're impossible to find in the US though. 💀

I read that as you abandoned your appendix in Seville...LOL Glad to hear you survived it!

😳😳😳

@@Poundingsand Yes, I did. The University of Seville Hospital told that they had put my appendix on display, as they'd never seen a worse one. I also abandoned the bike 😒 In order to survive the experience, however, I had to spend another 3 months in hospital in the UK and miss a year of university. Not so cool . . .

cool!

haha this engine basically run forever

Gotta love the veteran underdogs that can still make it :)

The best adventure bike is the one you're sat on.

a fair amount do the bicycle too!

L lee I make these type jackets in Pakistan and a jacket make cost is very low I can give you these type 200 hundred dollars gi e me order

By the way, Ed in this comments

India was the best episode

I was just thinking the same. :))

wow it's real end of the world bike :D

It seems that modern bikes have mostly lost the simple practical functionality. No digital screen, and no electronics. Just points. If it breaks down, you wait for the points to dry out and then you're good to go. There is no spark module or ECU to fail. No electronics. Just a voltage regular, small 6 volt battery and lights. But the charging system can fail completely and the bike will continue to run, because the stator coil produces it's own ignition voltage, and you don't need the battery charged to run the bike.

My first bike was a Honda SL70cc, 1971, which I paid $350 for. It was the worst bike. My Mom never should have bought it for me. It had a brown lady's nylon stalking over the carburetor as an air filter. And it had no kick starter, because the splines were stripped. So I could only push start it. The back tire was shiny bald too. But I got good at push starting it. If there was a tiny bit of mud, it would get into the points and spark plug cap, and the engine would start popping and eventually die. I spent hours pushing that bike, trying to get it to dry out and stay running after I'd hit water. The thing is, those old Honda engines are absolutely indestructible. Now, something to note. They made a 1971 SL350cc parallel twin, Enduro. The Honda SL350 twin was better than modern small Enduros, because the parallel twin engine was a screaming beast, and was glassy smooth. It makes no sense why they stopped building the paralell twin enduros, and switched to clunky, high vibration singles.

I recommend going to Seward, it's like 3 hours away from anchorage the highway is just beautiful and has some cool road stops and hikes by it

Ryan Fortnine would like a word

@@JJAhern no, not even close.

@@randypower It's not close because that's an apple to oranges comparison. Fortnine has great content and views motorcycling through an analytical, occasionally philosophical, lens. This is long-form story telling designed to take you on an adventure and make you feel good about motorcycling. They both serve a purpose and they're both the best at what they do.

L lee I make these type jackets in Pakistan and a jacket make cost is very low I can give you these type 200 hundred dollars gi e me order

I did some cool stuff by bicycle, but hey, i'm dutch.

There are amazing places you can only get to by canoe or kayak, too.

@@barryervin8536 True!

Own them Both!! 🙌

@@DefZen343 it's kind of a tough decision to think about. I have a versys 300x which fits what I'd use a trail 125 for and it's more versatile overall....I have a ninja 650 for country roads and highway trips (I do need a long range bike but rarely go over 2 hours away from home and I always ride alone my wife hates motorcycles) I'm almost leaning towards a grom for my small bike needs. I could put some dual sport tires on it.

@@Chocolate_dragon There's a NZ couple who did the Trans america trail on Groms. They did some upgrades to the suspension too, besides putting "knobblys" on them.

N+1 is life, my man. There's no shame in keeping the '73, taking it out for nice Sunday rides occasionally - like Ari's here, it's done its job for you, a nice retirement is a just reward.

@@Chocolate_dragon I also have a x300, after riding my brothers z125 around Id rather use the Trail for a small bike around town vs a grom. Unless its only for fun riding, doesn't win there

ALMOST all the way there🤣

you should do it and make some episodes about it Jake! gonna be awesome!

I remember seeing one guy who did this on a 50cc scooter, probably more enjoyable on that though. =)

ADV07? That the adv converted MT07? If so, it makes me wierdly happy to hear you've still got it! Followed that project pretty closely. Even pre-T7, it was obvious the CP2 was gonna be a great adventure engine. God knows, I want to do this one day too, but I don't think I've got the fortitude to do it on a CT90. There's a lot of long miles in there, and at CT90 speeds... Oof.

No u gotta use a CT like Ari and Zak

At a minimum, I think a 300cc enduro. Or a WR250R because those are as reliable as a stone axe.
