I’m always amazed by your body of knowledge and ability to fix everything. It seems like nothing is too far gone for you to breathe new life into it. And no matter how daunting the project is, your cheerful demeanor always shines through. Thanks for keeping us thoroughly entertained.
It probably don't mean anything to you, but right now you are such a blessing to me. I am trying to save my mother and it is hell to get her in to the light. So here you are breaking up the seriousness with your fun videoes, thank you, and may God bless you!
Hey mustie, I've driven for FedEx Freight for 26 years. I have two ruptured disc in my back. I just watched your video on( Your 2 cents of being a mechanic.), and I've also turned wrenches on the side for 35 years. Looking at your lift and watching you work on this small motorcycle oh, my back was SCREAMING (FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BUILD A PLATFORM TO SIT ON TOP OF THE LIFT THAT SWIVELS Front and back over each side or WHATEVER IS ON IT... )LOL... I have literally have figured out ways to do things with a ruptured back to keep from having surgery. Because surgery is the death of my job. Everybody I've known that's had surgery at my job eventually doesn't continue long after doing it. I LOVE DRIVING FOR A LIVING. One thing I can tell you is that I have multiples of in my shop is the blue handle $2.99 Grabbers from horrible Freight, and the little yellow and black magnetic crabbers at my Welding Table I usually have three or four of them by each machine. Cuz you only got so many times in your lifetime you can bend over and pick crap up when you got ruptured disc before one of them times it's going to be the end. So if I can spend a little money to keep from having to bend over and pick stuff up that is worth it to me. I also have them all over my house, especially in my laundry room kitchen and outside to Pick Up Stix. Cheap insurance :-) I Apologize for such a lengthy message. I just really was touched by your video about your back and surgery.
Great project, really enjoying watching. When you showed the rear shock mounts being bent upwards, I knew exactly what that is caused by. It's from the kid hitting some gnarly jumps with it! When I was a kid, a friend of mine had a Trail 70 and he jumped that thing all the time, and his shock mounts were bent upwards too! It would bottom out HARD when he landed each time.. Lol
I admire the way that you are always whispering to what ever you work on. To those that don’t know, he whispers, (not in a hurry, he is thinking ahead as what to do next and he is not afraid to venture into new territory). Great video again.
Me too. My buddy and I both had Trail 110's when we were kids and we took them everywhere - even into the heart of Canaan Valley, WV to watch the Blackwater 100 at some of the best spots. Great times!
Very good. Love these longer videos with all the details of working with older stuff and how not to break things when taking them apart. Keep up the good work !!
Recently came across the channel. I’m really enjoying the CT70 series. My grandfather bought all the grandkids the exact same bike back in my he day. Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories. Keep up the good work.
I enjoy your shows really ,im a old school mechanic thats disabled now but i still learn something new all the time especially with your shows, thanks bud ! Your awsom !
Your working some wonders on that bike. Certainly the most care it's probably ever received. One thing though, it's easier to fix old stuff, than most of the future junk we make now.
Try bronze wool instead of steel wool on chrome. Steel wool gets embedded in the chrome and rusts again if the chrome is not well-sealed (waxed, etc.); bronze wool is non-ferrous so particles left behind don't rust. Love watching you work!
Give it a what for. I giggle every time you say it. The wife on Disney carousel of progress says it, but it brings me back 50 years ago to when my grand pa would use it. Thank you 👍
Just a little tip. Take your torch and preheat the metal first then paint it. You can do all coats at once and it is baked on hard and durable. I have done that for years. Oh and I always use primer.
I think the reason brake linings are in such good shape is that they were never used! I believe they just ran into stuff to stop. That is one abused little bike.. Great work as always bringing it back to life.
Hi Mustie, I didn't often write but see all your videos. Thank you so much for me it's so nice to see and often I think I would take.. And you do the same, as I were with at your garage. Go on do the super videos for us! A long time fan from lower Saxony at Germany.
YAAAAAH, beatin on tuff with hammers....I like that part. The series is AWESOME! Reminds me when I use to pick apart my old Honda 50 n gitter goin again for another adventure. Thank you Mustie 1 for bringing back some great memories in my life. Nuttin runs like a HONDA... TFS!
Been lurking for quite a while now and just want to say I really enjoy your videos. On the Trail 70 front fender cleaning the chrome you used 0000 steel wool. While this works There is also a product called Bar Keepers Friend that will work wonders on anything that is worth spending some time on. This stuff is a lot like Ajax kitchen cleaner and is found in the same area of the grocery store. But then again you probably already knew this. Keep em coming.
Well done, Those little bikes get ruffed up a good one. People just love to jump on them and go. They take a lot of abuse. Good to see you working on it, like what you are doing.
Love it! "insert a pry bar" and "influence it"! I have two black labs myself and I wish I had a workshop like yours, mine would look at me and it would be 'you look after me, not the other way around'. Loving your 'V-casts' I have built rebuilt and remade quite a few engines myself, and you're always learning…
Lil was just looking to see if there was a extra cheeseburger laying around in the shop..and maybe some pets and scratches too ;) Those rims were the most bent up ones I've ever seen on those, and that back tire showed that thing had some use and abuse on it, but you did a good job of getting those bent back. That frame though has a bit of a twist in it that I'm not sure will ever be back to square. Must admit one reason I wanted to see the orange 1 get chosen was because of the frame/rims/parts looking a bit better shape(not the orange color which isn't a fav.)and also that bigger back wheel..a buddy said he thinks that is from the later yr. ones, but been busy and haven't researched that yet. But this one is getting back into shape, and I like that wheel paint, going to look for some myself.
Ultimately, the person who pulled the trigger was revealed to be Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby) in the "Who Done It?" episode which aired on November 21, 1980. Kristin was J.R.'s scheming sister-in-law and mistress, who shot him in a fit of anger. J.R. I had to look it up! Lol
I don't know why, but the fast motion on the hammering makes a hilarious sound... perhaps I've had to much to drink... Much love for the video as always.
Yup, in UK a castle nut is secured with a split pin, and a cotter pin is wedged shaped and used to secure pedals on a bicycle. Your helper looks more helpful than mine... Mine just follows me about, and trips me up when I try to change direction! (Also unable to identify correct spanner sizes. Everything just ends up as a tennis ball).
Actually I don't believe its the whole uk that says split pin for a cotter pin. Mostly just britian itself and australia. Btw a split pin is used to hold paper or leather together. Its brass or steel and small.
The cranks on old pedal bikes were held in with 'cotter pins.' Newer bikes had 'cotterless cranks'. I've heard splits pins referred to as cotter pins too. Other 'split pins' look like drawing pins or thumb tacks and can be used for holding paper or leather together although the leather ones would probs be called rivets! I love the etemology of hardware!
I love dogs in videos (like Brian Block) because they look around and at their owners wondering who in the hang their master is talking to. It's only a puppy and it's owner in the room and you aren't speaking the dogs name. Dog is like......uh.....who's there dude?
at 42:54, my guess is they tried to pull wheel back without loosening the axle nut. Who would do such a thing? I know.. Cause I did it on my CT70 back in 72.
I have to confess I kind of took this thing as a joke at first but it's turning out to be one of your great ones. At least now I can say I've seen a minitrail doing a burnout on a bench.
I have a Motorino XMB 72v 500w hub motor with regenerative braking and the cam pieces on this bikes brake levers turn the regenerative braking off when you are not on the brakes.
My Dad calls the C and E clips, Jesus clips. Everytime he tries to take one off or put one on, it takes off flying. Then he says, Jesus, now where did it go?
In UK it’s a split-pin, a cotter pin is basically a wedge, as you say, Mustie, they were used on steel bike cranks, pulled in by a nut on a threaded end
You know how little kids will talk to the program they're watching? Yea, I am doing the same, only because you're talking to me (the viewer). I really enjoy the content, thank you.
Front tire 17 psi, rear tire 20 psi. And the valve stems should be on the right side of the bike. you might have some clearance problems with the bent stems.
I have in the past a Honda SS50 and a C50 moped. That engine does not running well. that rattling sound that should not be in it, and he smokes too much. it is for sure that the engine has been running without oil. I think the piston rings must be replaced, possible there is damage on cylinder and piston. Also the valves must be ground.
New piston and rings, connecting rod bearing from piston end. Sound may come from lower bearing and it needs a new crank in worst case. Those engines should be nearly silent on idle and this sounds like slow jackhammer :D
Awesome Lab. My lab is 15, paralyzed from the waist down but still moving with assistance. They give so much and all they ask for is a full food bowl and attention.
I just cant see it when its done.... but I can see it now dude that is very needy... tks for the vid very enjoyable to see you master the challenges it does inspire me to rescue my old junk....
one of the best fixit channels on you tube good content and unlikke most channels he explains what he doing you dont have to guess like some of other channels
Please repaint the black high light on the exhaust shield. I feel it would help a lot, thanks. These vids are great as this was my first bike at 7. Went to a auction with my dad and little brother to buy a bb gun and my brother and I found the bike in a big pile of weeds. Showed it to your dad and he said bike are gun. Went with bike and the farmer sold it to us for $25. Worked with my older brother to get it running. Great memories from my youth. Thanks for the vid.
Perfect timing for another series in the vid. I'm laid up from a double bilateral hernias surgery. So post em up mustie1, also would like to see another old skool bike build from junk laying around, those builds are what nabbed me up on your channel but I enjoy them all
Its really starting to look great, and should be a lot of fun when finished. A small tip for cleaning chrome, take a piece of aluminium foil (tinfoil in the UK) make a loose ball and dip it in water ( I found warm soapy water dose best it grimmie, just warm water if just a bit pitted or rusty) then just rub it on the chrome areas and it cleans and polishes it up really nice. Have seem it used on TV too.
I’m always amazed by your body of knowledge and ability to fix everything. It seems like nothing is too far gone for you to breathe new life into it. And no matter how daunting the project is, your cheerful demeanor always shines through. Thanks for keeping us thoroughly entertained.
No matter what.. This CT 70 is always a good series to watch.. Even 3 years later. 👍
It probably don't mean anything to you, but right now you are such a blessing to me. I am trying to save my mother and it is hell to get her in to the light. So here you are breaking up the seriousness with your fun videoes, thank you, and may God bless you!

Wow....this was the first motor bike I ever drove as a kid back in 74...the sound of it running brings back great memories. Thx mustie...u rock!
Don’t think you realize how much joy you give to people, it’s like we’re in your garage with you , thanks for doing what you do 👍
Well built bikes. They come apart after 40 odd years without any dramas.
The best channel on TH-cam. You helped me fix my Ryobi weedeater that has had problems for the past 10 yrs! It’s never run better. Thank you.
Try bronze wool instead of steel wool on chrome. Steel wool gets embedded in the chrome and rusts again if the chrome is not well-sealed (waxed, etc.); bronze wool is non-ferrous so particles left behind don't rust. Love watching you work!
Stainless steel wool is the best for chrome..
@Philbert Desanex Don't you mean a bronze sheep?
Give it a what for. I giggle every time you say it. The wife on Disney carousel of progress says it, but it brings me back 50 years ago to when my grand pa would use it. Thank you 👍
Good morning Mustie! With spring around the corner I can't wait for the yard sale find videos to kick in!
Im waiting for the jet-ski..🤗
Definately a good one! I'm really looking forward to that Vespa.
.......Whoo hoooo. I can hardly wait.
I want to see an update on the welding trailer?
Daisy say goodbye to the people.👍👍 Loving this series Darren and the burnout and random bolt shining at the end was hilarious.
Just a little tip. Take your torch and preheat the metal first then paint it. You can do all coats at once and it is baked on hard and durable. I have done that for years. Oh and I always use primer.
You do amazing work sir. and we like your helper. Your helper should be the supervisor and does not get tools,just supervises. CHEERS
Mustie, you are double lucky! A CT70 to tinker with, and a cute dog!
Mustie love it , had one as a kid 14/15 am 63 now , mine was gold lol
I want that bike ! Lol

Been following this Honda 70 from the start. Really cool.
Thank you for the great video!

Sitting here in Edinburgh Scotland watching that sweet little bike come together, love the channel 👍🏻
You must try evaporust to get rid of the rust. I’ve used it on a bunch of restorations including gas tanks . Really really good results
thank you from a 72 year old in the uk ..gives me hope thanks Mustie

With the condition of the brake shoes and damage on the bike I'd say they never used the brakes before. If ya gotta stop crash into a ditch.

Love all of your videos, but it doesn't get any better than restoring an old CT70 to running condition! Can't wait for episode 6.
We call it Splint (2:44) in german. Cool stuff you are doing, as always.
