@@damiand4835 This bike is actually a new IceBear Champion (CT70 clone). He painted it and installed decals to match the bike he had as a kid. It’s an awesome bike.
I was just listening to video doing some work, then that Train Whistle went off lol, thanks for catching that no matter how old I get seeing a train go by always amazes me how big and powerful they are. Have fun those small towns are amazing as well.
One of the best parts of staying 2 night in Cass was the multiple steam whistle going off thru the day. Such a cozy nostalgic feeling. I "might" have run to the porch each time. 😅
It was nice meeting everyone virtually. Cool ride. I thought, if Mike only had one spare master link, he’ll be looking for a replacement along the way. Fun fact: #89 bulbs are the most used flashlamp bulb in pre LED pinball machines. :-)
Mike! That’s a neatly equipped little Honda! There’s something special about traveling with a bike that was never designed for long journeys. I really enjoy your videos; the countryside looks beautiful. Firm handshake and safe travels from Uruguay!
@@donsoule6411 Deer were everywhere. On the ride, we were running less than 20mph, most of the time. You needed to be alert, but we were going so slow, had plenty of time to react. On the days I was running 45+, thru the woods, it was a little more stressful. Luckily, saw many of them, but none bounded out in front of me.
I tried hosting an event like this in the past here in New England. Only one couple came out all the way from NJ but we had a blast cruising around VT. If you ever plan on heading up this far north you got someone that can show you around!
@@van_demonium 4 or 5 of the guys that attended this ride, heard about it thru my channel. The others either heard about it, when they attended a small bore ride in KY, a few weeks ago or they saw the FB event page that Ben made.
Thanks for taking us along! I am really interested in your final assessment of what went wrong with the engine that caused it to run poorly and if you can fix it easily or if the engine was damaged somehow. I have heard people say that running the engine full bore for a while can kill it, and you were putting it through some good work.
@@snakepit101 I don’t want to ruin the last couple of videos for you, with any spoiler info…..Thanks for watching and the last two videos will be posted over the next few days.
@minibikeMike, thanks for taking us along. Now I have the bug for an ST90. I found a clean running 73 all original 3 speed st90 local for 2500. What should I offer. Thanks for offering all your wisdom. Look me up if you come thru iowa.
@@fyerfytr No clue. It depends on if it’s what you want. Personally, I don’t want a 6v electrical and 90cc, so no way would I pay that. But, if it’s what you want and it had a title, maybe that’s a good price for you.
My father born and raised in Green Bank WV Pocahontas county is a beautiful place when I was 12- 13 I had a yellow 1979 Honda ct trail 70 give anything to have exact one today I’m 52
Thanks for the shout out, Mike! What a day! So great to see you again. Hi to Amy! Take care!
@@stuartappleton4178 Hope the rest of your adventure has went well. Great to see you again!
I love the blue Honda trail 70 . Wish we had rides like this in Australia . Great to see everyone enjoying themselves . 🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘

What an amazing adventure. Thank you for taking us along in the group ride
@@Smallbore2wheels What started out as a pretty stressful day, ended as one of extreme satisfaction. I’d do it all over again tomorrow!
@@MiniBikeMike good to hear that it was worth it in the end
Beautiful place and a wonderful group of people! No accidents but a close reminder 😅 ... what a great time!
@@horsewnoname872 Yes, yes and yes!

🛑🛑 Nice Event!!👍💯
@@genekelley7579 Yes, it was. Beautiful day for a ride.
Oh deer !! Who knew that the local wildlife would be interested in seeing a bunch of guys on small bore powered 2-wheelers… ??!!

Would love to do that next year.I have an sl175.Could i sneak that in as a mini?My ct 90 is to under powered.
@@noelwarner1235 We hardly went over 20mph. There were a couple non-minis on the ride.
Runnability - gotta wait, ouch! Lol
looked like a great ride, wish i could have made it.
@@tommers00 Thanks Tom. It was a really good time. Lots of laughs, lots of miles and good people.

Did Mark ride his bike there from Ravenswood?
@@davidmorgan2815 I didn’t ask. I assumed he and Chuck hauled them there, but I may be wrong.
