Hi Mike, thanks for including the look around that farm and especially the inside of your sleepover barn, my Wifie really enjoyed that and said thank you. We need to hook up an Aussie road trip, you’d all be very welcome. Thanks again
Normal tire wear they’re pretty soft and I know they’re probably new. That was an awesome place for you to stay at something most people just dream about.
Love that old homestead. The dovetail joinery just shows how the farmers knew how to make something last. Love anything old including the antique tractors and implements.
Hello my friend Mike. It’s been a while. I live out here in San Francisco Bay area of San Jose Northern California, but I am originally from South Texas. Love your videos man very cool. I am 66 years old. I’ve had a October 1969 Honda CT 70 for about three years now I restored it from the ground up. I put a big high-performance Lifan Engine on it with the four speed automatic on the floor lol runs pretty good but I’m only getting about 32 miles an hour out of it. Think I have to readjust the carburetor but yes man pretty cool. I love your videos. Lots of epic trip. Wish I was there lol be careful out there. Keep up the great videos. Take care and God bless. Keep safe.
@@lionelzamora4536 This ST90 has that same engine. You should be seeing 55+mph. I’d suggest swapping to a Nibbi 22mm carb. Don’t adjust anything, other than idle, it’s perfect out of the box. I don’t know what gearing you’re running, but 17/35 would be a good start.
Love the ride, and thanks for showing us around the lodgings. It feels like something is missing when TH-cam road trips don't show the daily destinations.
Love this series and also enjoyed all the old farm equipment! That Air BnB looks really nice!! Hope all your travels were safe and looking forward to the next video in this series.
@@southeastvintagecyclerescue Thanks. I feel each video gets better, as I get used to the cameras and knowing when to turn them on. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy them. Yes, was a nice place to spend the night.
Hey I’m in central Indiana too! I have a 2001 Honda helix and I’ve always wanted to do an epic ride on it. I’ll be looking forward to watching how your trip goes! By now you’re probably back home, hope your trip was safe and enjoyable
Hi Mike. I was born and raised in Greensburg. My siblings and aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews all still live in Greensburg, Rushville and Shelbyville. But I live in I McKinney Texas now. I really enjoy your videos and I’ve owned a Honda trail 70, a 1965 Honda 90 street bike and currently own a 2013 Suzuki TU250X and a 2009 Yamaha Road Star 1700. I would really enjoy meeting you someday. I get home to Greensburg at least one a year. Maybe more now that I’m retired. How can I reach out to you directly to schedule a meet and possibly a ride?
Thank's for doing a reliability test that i'm to scared to attempt ....and do you think you could upsize the breather ? I get an asthma attack everytime i look at it HAAA.... but seriously good luck on your trip.
@@davidgoodrich4745 Breather restricts zero air. Bike runs exactly the same with it and without it. It’s there just to keep from sucking anything into the carb.
@@mshadow64 They do trim it occasionally, but it has never been replanted by humans. It has had offshoots grow, over the years. The original tree died many years ago, but the current growth is an offshoot of the original and has been there for over a century.
Engineer here…regarding that O ring. Good news I think is that it wasn’t broken or gnarled up. It looked completely new as if it was an “extra” part dropped in the engine during manufacture. In aircraft manufacturing we call that “FOD” or foreign object damage. Still, it is odd. Not knowing the size of the oil drain hole, is it even possible for the O ring to have fit through the drain hole as the oil drained? Not knowing what the oil plug looks like, could the ring have been acting as a seal between the oil plug and the engine casing? Just spit balling….
@@Lee-rp6kk On the stock ST90, those recessed areas are covered by the exhaust and air cleaner housing. Because I’m not using either of those stock parts, the recessed areas are visible. Since there isn’t ST90 side badges, I used CT70 ones.

@@TheCbxmaster Yeah, I was definitely over thinking it. Those tires are pretty old. They were on the bike, when I bought it 12 years ago.

Love those old barns, never no what you are going to find, awesome video, thanks mike 👍
@@gerardkenny8408 Thanks. Yeah, I’m the same, love looking at old junk.

@@danstowe8163 Thanks. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
You have a lot of wood to burn my friend, and we will be watching you
@@ClodoaldoMarques-v8n I’m not sure I’m following this reference. Haha
Most of us that like the old bikes like all kinds of old things.

@@davidmurray1630 Thanks. The cottage was nice. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I live near Portsmouth and frequently ride mountain bikes near Cass so I’m familiar with most of this route, really cool trip!
@@nathanmullins836 Both places are really neat. Thanks for watching!
Those half-dozen eggs at the first AIR BNB were your complimentary “continental breakfast” !! 🍳🍽🃏🤣
@@donsoule6411 I didn’t take the time to use them, but appreciated they supplied them.
Some interesting old machinery in that barn!
@@SAM-zt2uy Agreed. I really enjoy seeing old junk in barns.
cool trip. looking forward to the next video
@@jeffferguson899 Thanks. The videos get better, as I go. It took me a day or two to get in a rhythm with the cameras and when to turn them on.
Great video Mike. Really enjoyed following along. That little place you stayed overnight at was pretty nice.
@@southeastvintagecyclerescue Thanks. I feel each video gets better, as I get used to the cameras and knowing when to turn them on. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy them. Yes, was a nice place to spend the night.
My father born and raised in Green Bank WV Pocahontas county is a beautiful place

Great 1st day. Thanks for the side tour.
@@frankjones4094 Thanks for watching.
Surprised you didn’t find a old Honda in that barn 😅
@@franciscoolvera6871 Dang, I should have dug deeper, it was probably buried in there. Hahaha
That's an awesome adventure.
@@lloydlacross1358 I’m ready to go again!

Next let's see you go to Aspen.
@@yomommaahotoo264 What’s in Aspen? Minibike event?
@@MiniBikeMike
LOL - Remember the movie Dumb and dumber?
When I see a mini bike goin interstate it's what I always think of.

It's definitely dumb, but entertaining.

Why does your ST90 say CT 70 on the frame, Thanks
