I bought it... What a Motorcycle Under $1000 is Like

- I bought the cheapest adult-sized mini bike off of Amazon for $800. You know when you were a kid and you went full force on a mini bike with none of the fear and anxiety that comes with being an adult? I thought, if I could get the cheapest, smallest bike, maybe I could get that fearless riding time that many of you had by being able to start riding when you were kids... and be that much better of a rider. Maybe.
The Coleman CT200U trail mini bike came in a box and was made in China. I have named him Larry. Larry is my rebound for being rejected by Gary, the Dirt-E Bike from @Bikes and Beards. We'll see how our relationship progresses.

After Larry and I went for a ride, I went to Sturgis and saw at least 3 other Larry's. The video on Sturgis will be next. What kind of mods do you want to see on Larry?
If you want to go for that cool 9-year-old delinquent look, maybe a sissy bar with a pirate flag. The "I bought this for my daughter-look" might include pink streamers from the handlebars and seat (or sissy bar!).
Larry is a fine specimen as is. Maybe add a touch of sparkle to the frame.
You need some lights. Maybe you can upgrade the engine with a big bore kit. How fun.
I'd remove that governor, add a rearview mirror on the handlebar, and bicycle lights front and back. And wooohoooo!!! 10:01 haha!
I suggest a slide carb, which will override the speed limiter, and make the motor accelerate much smoother than the stock system. It is a little more advanced, but the outcome is worth the effort. Perhaps enlist the help of a mechanic familiar with these little machines in case you have question, since there is not really any install instructions that I am aware of.
I don't care who ya are, that there was funny. The safety gear alone was worth the watch!
Lady knows her ATGATT. All should! Mythbusters proved that a 25 mph impact can be fatal. That minibike hits that right out of the box. Never mind road rash from even hitting pavement at walking speeds.
You got Kudos from the pro! Nice job!
Git 'r done!
She needs a kid who mows lawns, to hook her up…lol…
I think she forgot about using utube videos…lol…
Great video Doodle…
I never realized you were that funny 😂 . You had me in tears laughing. when the motorcycle drove buy. ** Squirrel!** I need to watch more of your videos!!! Larry is a badass!
I love this channel as Doodle gets self-taught adulting lessons in things young kids back in the day did literally all day long until the dinner bell rang. Most 10 year olds could wrench a lawnmower or a minibike back then. It's a thrill to watch you learn why thry invented toy haulers. Once you've got the bug, any toy is cool! I highly recommend cheap Amazon pit bikes! After watching you negotiating log piles on an Africa Twin, a dirt bike should be easy!
I love that you had so much fun while learning new things. This was a welcome departure from your usual style content of riding and chatting, and the well placed use of memes was enjoyable.
This video was incredibly fun. You should do Top Gear style challenges on Larry. I especially liked all the firsts. The learning the adventure of the whole thing. Honestly you are an inspiration to everyone that watches you. Thank you!
Yea I think in another life Doodle was a sitcom actress or comedian. She is hilarious
I am living for the energy you have lately, you seem so happy! 🥰🖤🖤
Congrats on the new bike! Your a blast to watch experience new things welcome to the mini bike club!
Doodle, you crack me up! Great video. Glad you learned new things. Hope you have a ball on your little buddy Larry!!
Doodle we’ve missed you…can’t wait to see all that you’ve been doing…stay safe and enjoy the ride(s)
Great job. Loved the Bikes and Beards reference. Admittedly I put off watching this, wondering what you were up to. Makes perfect sense! The cry of joy was awesome. Way to ask for help when needed, too. :)
Nicely done!!! Larry looks great! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Man that was entertaining. I like when you said “it’s not going anywhere?!?!” Welcome to the world of centrifugal clutches. Those “mini bikes” where $99 in the Sears catalog when I was a kid
This was just so much fun to watch, takes me back to my roots.. Thanks Doodle
I love this so much!! I’ve been thinking of buying one of these for my kids but was hesitant because I’m not mechanically savvy but this gave me the encouragement to go ahead and buy it. Thanks doodle!
There are dozens of yt vids on how to unbox and setup, hundreds on how to fix and tune. Dozens of user Forums and local clubs too. These are literally identical to the ones we had in the 60s but with more powerful motors. You'll have a blast, but you will have to learn what "reliable" meant in a 1960s way: it meant it worked as long as you kept repairing it. Vehicle maintenance and repair was a weekly chore back in the day. On any Saturday, there was a sea of cars with hoods up in the neighborhoods. These bikes are the same. Wheel bearings fail about every 20 hours of riding (which is actually a lot of riding time), cost 10 bucks and 10 minutes to replace. Chains need maintenance and sometimes break. Cables stretch and break, etc. No biggie, but folks below 40 are used to bikes and cars that rarely need repair. This is just 60s tech that needs attention. It's actually as much fun to work on them as it is to ride them, and your kids learn life-long skills and confidence in using tools to have fun.
@@mfuchs2004 Yup, I agree. We bought one in the sixties and it was soooo slooow. They broke down so much you had to learn about carbs and electrics.
Looks like a blast! Have fun and post more videos of Larry soon!
That’s LARry
😂
Brilliant video for your 1st mini Larry. Many of us started with the mini bike. I guess since we were kids and "grew" into big people's bikes. Bravo for your mechanic skills!
What a fun and informative video ! Good Job ! Thanks
I think that was your best video. Very funny and well put together. Nice job.
Wooo! Been waiting so long for an upload from you. Excited to watch it!
You are one amazing human!! LOVE your stuff and your gear in this video - Safety first LOL this....took me back to when my son was younger and yup he had one similar....FUN and you put it all together too!!!
Doodle you are hysterical!!! your laughter and dancing made me truly laugh out loud!! Thanks for sharing! stay safe & keeep'em coming!!
Her face when it fired up was precious. Good job, kid!
Thx for the funny video Doodle , loved it !!!
I have a Colman CT200-Ex and love it !
Great channel 🇺🇸
Glad you’re back! Fun video 😁
Love the construction hat. Have fun. Enjoying all your videos.
LOL! Welcome back Doodle! Thats a great lil bike...have fun!
Sorry it took me a day to get to this video. Okay that said it was quite entertaining, fun and had a smile all the way through her assembly and cuteness. Keep up the good work you’re pretty awesome👏
Doodle You are a riot !! I started riding mini bikes in 1972 and worked my way up to 500’s 750’s 1000’s and on up .
Back in the day we all found mini bikes as our entry points then into Moto Cross , Enduro , Trials , and then out into that insanity that is the public road .
Enjoyed your Sturgis videos much much more than just the T and A that everyone puts out .
YOU DO A GREAT JOB DOODLE !!
Keep up the great work !!
Loved this video Doodle.
Hope you and Larry have a fun time together
Awesome video and good luck with Larry!!!! Looks like a lot of fun. You should meet up with the bikes and beard crew and go tear it up
Larry has so much potential! Another great vid!!!! Thank you Doodle!
Great idea. I’m in the UK and we have to start on a 125cc bike. I kept my Benelli TNT 125 after passing my unrestricted licence test and also have a 660cc bike. But I love going out on the 125 when I want a more care-free ride and just fancy a tootle about. It brings back memories of riding my bicycle when I was a kid. No concerns about weight, or dropping it or not being able to put two feet down. I love it.
Damn. My very first street-legal motorcycle after getting my "M" (for motorcycle) endorsement on my license was a 93 in³ shovelhead, which is 1524 cc. In a lot of ways we are extremely safety minded in the U.S., but apparently not when it comes to driving.
I rode a Benelli TNT 125 in part of my MSF riding course here in the states. I still think about getting one of those one day for a second bike for city riding.
Crazy funny !! great editing, music choice, hysterical, well done !!!!
Oh Doodle!!! Thank you for making my day! I LOVE you and Larry, I cracked up watching this video and wanted to reach out and give you a big high five and a hug! Hope to see you the next time you're down in Florida to do some training with Motorman. I think I'll be ready to ride in a few months.
Yay!!!!!!
Cool video! I grew up riding mini bikes. Had many, modified all of them, just was a blast! Keep the vid's coming!
hey can I steal your childhood? K THANKS!
You're funny! I enjoy your humor and your videos!!
I had one of these as a kid 😂 it had a Tecumpsa motor and yes I surely spelt that wrong but those were the good days.It was so top heavy that I had to have my little sister sit on the back so I could jump and pop wheelie’s. I actually lost it for that reason or I got it taken away for the summer and someone stole it out of our mower shed. I miss that thing and even at 50 I still want another for fun. Thank you for sharing. New to your channel from South Florida. I love that you rode to Key West. I take my family there once a year and it’s a 5 1/2 hour trip in my truck. I could put a bike in the truck but I could never make the trip on a bike.❤🔥🫡
Doodle, this video is hilarious! You are hilarious! Lol through the whole vid! You put a big smile on my face! 😀😂
Ahhhh Doodle ya make Jerry proud!!! I really enjoyed this video, thanks a bunch, your friend in the canadian bush.
You are absolutely bonkers! and i luv it. keep it up!
Thanks for all the laughs...Great video for sure :)
Looks like you accomplished what you set out to do.which is to have fun.
These things are a blast for just playing around on light dirt roads or neighborhoods. I put a performance air filter kit on it and it gave it some pep!
Hey Doodle. I think you should see how Larry does for the Jerry Paladino style challenges.
And now that you have a Coleman mini bike, you do realize it is a requirement to build at least one sketchy ramp out of scrap lumber and cinder blocks and then try to jump it.
I think it's actually a law in many states. Pro tip: practice saying "I'm good!" while clutching your ribs and spitting mud. That's when you know you've got the jump dialed in just right.
If my parents knew half the knucklehead stunts we pulled on minibikes in the 60s! I'm teaching them to my grandkids now while my daughter stands by yelling at me. My daughters were daredevils growing up, so I don't know why they complain....
but first, open a beer, you don't have to drink it, just look at anyone ans say this first "Hold my beer" then proceed, that makes it official.
@@mfuchs2004 remind your daughters that “it builds character,” and the ever present “chicks dig scars” line. 🤭
@@jenngill7772 I think the scar thing fails with them. They have a few battle scars themselves and don't desire the chics. For some reason that eludes me, they aren't bothered by their own scars but can't stand to see boo-boos on their babies.
@@mfuchs2004 about the scars, I was kinda meaning for your daughters kids….
But yeah, that whole momma bear thing… 🤷♀️
One of your coolest videos yet. Nice one!
LOL love ❤️ it.Big smile all the way through it.Keep it up Everyone needs to watch something to make them smile 😊 and lighten up every once in a while. Great Job keep it up 👍
Your expression was priceless when it started 😊 I have one as long as the oil reaches a dipstick you're good to go !!
Safety first! I love it! Also, the thing that looks like a strainer basket in the gas tank is a flame arrestor, it stops a flame from entering the tank and causing an explosion.
This was a great video I loved the humour in it and now I wanna get a mini bike!
You are an inspiration to us all you go girl!
I have fond memories of riding a mini bike as a kid so I’m sure you’re going to love it! Plus you learned new skills & gave me a😃, thank you! Ride safe & enjoy! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️🏍
Can’t wait to see more vids with the mini bike!
Doodle you are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! Great video of a Larry:).
Awesome. Still laughing. Great video. Keep the Rubber side up, and have as much fun as you can.
Too cool never too old to have fun looking forward for more minimize video we love ya up here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
So proud of you Doodle. Yes it has a pull to start just like a lawnmower put I would pull it a little faster. it's like what we started with 60 some odd years ago. good luck.
Honesty, Enthusiasm at it's best. Thanks Doodle!
Larry I Ran Out of Room is snazzy. And looks fun to ride! Great job!
Cool video thank you. I like it cheers to ya.
Fun video..great job and idea ! Go LARry ))😀
This is an amazing video 😎 Love the innocent response,, I am 58 and mini bikes are always cool thanks
What a torque monster....I’ve always wanted one......Have fun Doodle..!!!
I'm really glad you getting in to this stuff it's great to see. TH-cam channel red beards garage is where me and my son learned a lot. Good luck and have fun
Ahh I remember my first mini bike! loved that thing! Awesome video doodle, was very entertaining!!
That was hilarious. The happy dance, the cool walk out and finally the name and running out of room. 🤣🤣🤣
I came across your videos this week. I like your content so you also have a new subscriber. Keep up the fun and the smile in your content. I won't tell you who I follow because you asked before I wrote this comment. Stay safe on two wheels. Greetings from the Netherlands 👍👍👍
Congratulations and be very careful they don't stop as good as you would think ..
Such a fun video! ❗❗Thanks, I enjoyed it immensely 😁🤣😂🤣❗❗❗
Fun video! Awesome! Thank you!
Great job on the video thanks for sharing. Great way to learn anything and a better understanding of bikes like cars is to get your dirty and do as much as you can yourself. Don’t understand the concept of a car or bike guy been doing and have club raced both for decades and now retired I still enjoy both as much as possible. Couldn’t find Coleman mini bikes on Amazon here in Australia only parts and the distributor here charges $3500 AUS.
Your excitement when it first started was just classic!! LOL
The excitement you showed when it first turned over made this video well worth the watch!
Larry makes a pretty good video Doodle. This was great!
Eyebrows of the sixth dimension at 4:46 explode my brain. Hahahaha! Also the wiggle dance of success is priceless. I do it all the time. Thanks Doodle. You be inspirational.
Great idea to have great fun. 🏍 I started at 6 years old on a Honda Z50 Mini Trail. Now I'm 57 on a Suzuki GSX-S 750. Great job assembling your Coleman Mini Bike.
To truly achieve that first mini bike experience one must partake in the assembly with only excitement, anticipation and impatience. Slap it all together and then realize you messed up and then proceed to actually reading the manual. That is the rite to passage :)
I... I want to order one now... Great editing as well! Good luck, Larry!
😂🤣😂 i kept thinking I wish there was a reaction cam on Kody in the house hearing you yell and squeal every five minutes.
😂
U cracked me up very entertaining vlog once again. lol.
LOL, Your right about starting young and being young and fearless. Don't want to break your bubble but....I'm sure you will still have fun. 😍😍🤣🤣 Larry, great pick in names😊
Ah the minny bike.., superior way to have real Red Dog fun 😊 big thumbs up Doodles 👍
Hey Doodle, definitely have to do a few Top Gear Challenges. This video is brilliant, and the all the gear all the time was great to see.
Larry Lady Bug is so cute!!! Super entertaining video lol
OMG I LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
"Safety First, I got this at Party City" LMFAOOOOO
Larry the "rebound" bike... too funny. Good on you for putting the little beast together.
Little Larry Lady bug Is awesome. Great job and great video Doodle. 👍🏻🤙
@doodle can't wait to see more Larry videos
That was awesome 😎 Reminded me of being a kid and wrenching on bikes without a care for the world....well 👍 done !
if nothing else, this was very entertaining. thanks doodle!
That was funny! I feel ya with the frustration! But you can find most anything on TH-cam to help! 🤙😆
Brings back memories of bumps bruises and just a few scrapes. Fun video 😀
So ...... What you are doing with that bike is exactly how I learned ....... Good job ...... You will make mistakes and you will break things and then you keep going ...... As far as the manual ..... I never used them ..... And they don't make sense ....... I just asked the mechanics ..... Now you just go on You Tube ....... 😆 😆 😆 ...... Take care and keep making these videos ...... 😊 😊 😊
Hey Doodle, another journey for you, I loved it. You have learnt beyond belief what it takes to build a motorcycle & importantly have fun. Cheers. I want to see you having more fun. Cheers ✌️🏍 💜
That was hands down, the best 11:38 of my life 🤣 I nearly choked on my peanut butter and celery while laughing at the chicken with his pants on. A mini-bike and you put it together yourself!!!! I love your sense of humor and the joy you bring to others through your epic video creations ♥️ Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
You are the best TH-camr on the planet. I absolutely love your videos
Love ur vids...So enjoy ur enthusiasm....my first mini bike was PURPLE...urs is way cooler and mine was a late 60's model...and the throttle would stick wide open... I needed a parachute when I bailed off it. Pure terror but it builds character..lol....Keep doing what ur doing...us peeps need entertained 😁
Wait! Safety first and the scissors are in the hat? On your head? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious video!
Glad at least you thought it was funny, lol!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Oh yeah. Loved it!
These are great bikes to build and have fun with! We throw 212cc or 224cc predator engines on them, building them an doing 85+ mph on them. You will love the ct200u 😎🤘🏼
Mornin Doodle. This one was fun from start to end. "Safety 1st", me: choking on coffee!🤣Welcome Back!
Two Neil M's? :)
@@neilmeiskey5482 don’t think the world is ready for 2 of us LMAO!
