This channel is about motorcycles, the sport of motorcycles, and mostly the antique and vintage kind. That's it.
Anything on two wheels that is old, orphan, significant, scarce, noteworthy, odd or cool. Whether it is for the street, dirt, the track, the dragstrip or display, whatever - doesn't matter.
I may know a little about a lot, which is more dangerous than good. If my experience helps you, that's great. Reach out if you need help, have some advice of your own, or just want to talk shop.
Everything here is done with my own money. So, if I use a tool, a part, a source, some cycle gear, another dealer, a widget, it's because I like it (or them). Same goes for the bikes.
While I am a dealer, I am first an enthusiast. The idea of my channel is to promote the hobby. While some of my bikes may or may not be for sale, my goal here is not to advertise individual bikes. I want to share fun in the hobby. Yet, if you see something you like, just call. I won't hit you with it.

PART 2 AMCA National Wauseon Motorcycle Swap Meet
There is something wrong with that bike it should go better than that. I had a moped with a GY6 I put a big bore kit new ignition and clutch got 45 mph out of it.
I had a bultaco pursang 370- 75 model my favourite bike by far- loved that bike as a 14yr old.Wish i kept it.
I was like did I win something then I realized I'm not talented enough to to make a video comment. I was confused. I never heard of anybody with the same name as me except my Dad. Oh well better luck next time.
Thanks for the tip on FATE. i joined the Facebook group although waiting to be approved. This ride is about 4 1/2 hours north of me but I have a small toy hauler type trailer. Looked like a nice ride except being from the north the sand might be a little sketchy for awhile.
Merry Christmas Dave . Nice look at Florida country side .
That’s a nice find. We had a Yamaha dealership for 27 years but sold it in 2022. We did see some cool old bikes and toured the Yamaha factory showroom in Japan where they had one of every bike they built from 1955. Yamaha is such a good company.
All that sand makes me appreciate high speed MN gravel!😁
Well, the sand is soft when you crash!
@bullpencycles true dat!
New subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
Looked like a fun trip, thanks for the video Dave!
Thanks Dave very cool I like it sounds like you're going to have a great day and good time
🐢🐢🐢 bunch of turtles
Another good video, It's always nice to see The roads and trails in Florida, And people having fun on motorcycles, Thanks, Pensacola,
I think you need a bigger exhaust not just a silencer if you look at the mid pipe it's very lean and hot I think it's holding too much heat in so good pipe silencer reject you'll get better fuel mileage and more power
They sell an open exhaust but its very loud and requires a different ECU map.
I bet you could probably find a stock KTM silencer that will bolt right up and flow a lot better and still be quiet I doubt you need to change the ECU with just slip-on change I just put screaming eagle slip-ons on my heritage Softail it's literally like a different bike just from the slip-ons
You bloody beauty, back on the horse, great to see. I get a similar feeling on my WR because you sit so high they feel unstable. I've got no fuel gauge at all so don't complain and enjoy what you got, it seemed to go well.
.. or you could juss join the iron butts ..?!!!
It’s dang good to see you back on a bike again!! That KOVE is a very capable bike. Just the thing this old man needs!! Thanks for sharing another great video!!!
Always show up with a full tank😆 great video Dave, looked like a fun time except for that crazy in the truck!
Nice ride - I have same jersey that you're wearing 😊
I almost went on this ride with my KLR 650, but I wasn't sure if my tires could handle the route.
Sure. Even the stock ones.
cough cough Florida Community of Adventure Riders.. shared on fate ..
Hmm, I guess I'm confused a bit on each group, since we all belong to both. I saw it on F.A.T.E. Did I mess up?
It's not like we're making money from FCAR or FATE. It was good meeting you Dave. Great video. Come join us anytime!
@@bullpencycles no big deal. enjoy the kove
Congrats Dave, It's always good to get back into the saddle after downtime. Merry Christmas!
more than 1/3 of the price of the japanese..... 20% less of a bike.... its a solid deal.
Awesome video Dave , makes me wanna get a dual sport now
Thanks Dave.
Dave - good vid. Steering stabilizer help ?
I dont know, but the Rally Pro comes with one. Mine is a standard.
Looks like a fun run Dave, thanks!
You did great Dave. Question: why was that V-strom so sluggish in the deeper stuff, weight or perhaps the rider was just nervous. I own the same model and year KLR as you, would it be alright on this ride?
@@paulgrogan8032 yeah, i think the KLR would be fine, maybe just remove the hard bags in favor of soft, in case you crash. i think cause he was mostlt sitting back, rider position.
@bullpencycles Thank you Dave, would the soft bags you mentioned require a frame as well? I really liked the rig on your Kobe, a recommendation would be extremely helpful with a budget minded consideration.👍
@paulgrogan8032 i bought plates for my KLR from 3D cycle parts. they fit on the factory adventure model and you can use whatever bags
Hey Dave, if you want to do the 100 miler sight seeing trip around Sawnee give me a holler, I would do it with you. I live a couple hours up in Ga. And would run down there and do it with ya.
Good way to break in your new KOVE .
Looks like fun ,I dont think I myself wouldnt want to try 200 miles in sand on a new bike and back from foot surgery.Good for you ! Not very well mapped, or marked.Not sure why they dont wait to make sure everyone makes it back safe.
They tried. There was a sweep truck too, but I cut a few corners on the last leg.
Back in the saddle 🫡👍
Remember its the journey, not the destination
Like to hear a review on the bike.
There is a little bit of a review near the end of the video
Great Video! You have to take Bruno on the rides like desert racer John McCowen and his dog Kookie who rode with him on his fuel tank up until Kookie turned 13. Bruno would be a natural. Merry Christmas to you and your Family and Bruno too.
Thanks for not signing lol
I wanted to play the chipmonks singing Swanne but the Tube nixed it!
Dave, gud to see ya back riding some wild track. It looks like some of those roads had been graded. Are they state or county?
Hallo Dave, die automatische KI audio Übersetzung ist gut gemeint, nervt aber. Ich würde dich gerne im Original hören. Leider funktioniert die Abschaltung jedoch nicht. Ich denke, die meisten Leute können dein Englisch gut verstehen. Bis die Übersetzung besser ist und das mit dem Abschalten klappt, wäre es aus meiner Sicht besser, wenn du das abschaltest. Ich verfolge deinen Kanal sehr gerne. Immer wieder tolle Raritäten bei dir! Grüsse aus Deutschland
I did not know AI was translating that. I'll look into it. Vielen Dank
@@bullpencycles 👍
The world is full of crazy people I in joy your Chanel Merry Christmas
Nothing compared to a Honda Cub.
Thanks for this video and l knew about these Van Veen rotary motorcycles through motorcycle magazine articles and living in Australia l may not see one if these in the tin.This video was the next best thing and l am impressed by the Van Veen and there was not one but two twice as good. You were very informative which was great to see now l know more about the Van Veen rotary
Nice find
thankyou for a great video! its nice to learn about other bikes i didnt know about. bultacos were cool bikes back in the day!!!!! i do love the 60s bikes and i miss and loved my suzuki k10 80. ive been looking and unable to find another one. i bought mine in 73 seized due to nobody riding it for a long time which i found the reason was a snapped in half trans countershaft. i was 14 at the time and lucliky i had a great bro in law to help me fix it. the previous owner said it was a 68. now im finding out it could not have been because there was no oil injection on this bike which suzukis first year for oil injection was 1968 on the k10 and other k series bikes. would you possibly know of any of these bikes from 67 on back for sale? thanks buddy. cheers
Hello Hey It's Dave. I sent a message to the Bulto family asking if they could send you an unused/unsold bike for Christmas. They said No, he's suffered enough. Have a fun Christmas.
Dude doesn’t know where he lives. Or how to ride. Or how to do a vid. Hmmm
Hey do you have a Panther Black Shadow 175 endure for sale?? It is either a 1973 or 1974. A Taiwan clone of a Yamaha CT1
No. But I think there was one at Barber last year
Groovy video. Love the H.D. antique moto trikes. Beautifully restored.
Looks like a lot of fun, It would be nice to know about some of these Swap meets and bike events before they take place, So Some of us could possibly attend and participate, And now we gotta wait another year and hope that we can remember, Another great video, And Thanks for taking us along, It's never a dull moment with you, Thanks, Pensacola,
Great vid. Thanks for covering it and sharing the CrossX.
lol these lowlanders are sheep ! lol these fake riders would fold like a bloody tampon in real riding situations!
Klx250 perfect not to heavy . Kdx 200 not legal on road sadly .
100 % junk that you'll never ever be able to get parts for. Might as well just drive down the freeway and throw hundreds of dollars out the window. 🤷
PS that fine looking puppy of yours is looking for a Macio! 🤚
It would have been interesting to hear from Itchy Boots ..
@@JamesPontious well you got me. it was only a Honda 300 rally!
