I rmeember well over 10 years ago amazing my friend in texas that I could do online banking with my regular bank, no need to visit them to transfer money about (though cheque deposits were still a thing, rarely if ever need to do that these days!!), the US does seem rather behind on such things... :\
Please new rear tire and next stage maybe it could be port and polish also polish combustion camber of your head and top of piston take off 10 thousands of your head max
I was rewatching the Bronco 4WD build yesterday and thought I'd remind y'all that Ike promised to drink that 2-Liter of Coke from the 90s when y'all made it to 1M Subscribers! 😂😂😂😂
20 year old Coke might still be ok, but I drink Diet Pepsi (about 10 a day!), and that stuff gets NASTY a couple months after the Sell By date. I always read the cap to make sure it ain't expired before I buy it.
i reckon something like a peewee 50 front end would be handy for a little extra traction up front ,maybe a fat tyre mtb ? but then we're starting to get away from the original idea. love your work guys from a viewer in western australia, you made me buy a mb200 btw !! :-)
Have y'all thought about a 20-inch fork setup off of a mountain bike so you had front suspension at least? Sweet bike anyways. a little out of the box this build
Gotta swap out those front forks for a set from a cheapo mountainbike so you've got some basic front suspension, will help a LOT in the corners ! Could also chop+extend your current forks about an inch so you can corner without the foot pegs hitting the ground.
Slightly rounding out the tail fender proly would be a good idea to relieve the tire scrub. But overall this is my favorite mini bike build so far lol🤘
They need to do a diesel so I can see how it works before I get going on mine haha they sell these small diesel engines with like 400cc at one of the stores near me and I intend to build a coal rolling mini torque monster.
Totally awesome build. Like something I would have done as a young man... But I think I would build a wide front fork and use wide tire on the front as well.
Awesome first ride back Ike. Even more awesome is your shoulder is coming along spectacularly! Pushing the limits now will have good benefits 10 years or more down the road. There are days my shoulder doesn't bother me at all and then there are days I can barely lift my keys to to shoulder height and unlock the front door. Charles, I don't know what you consider taking it easy but I don't think it involves popping wheelies! That did look like fun though..
Hey guys! Great job! I built something similar to that bike about 10 years ago. That thing was fantastic until the front forks snapped off on a high speed run and as Ike knows, things go terribly wrong when you exit a bike at any speed. I had several broken bones as a result. Just passing on some info about motorizing bicycles. The weakest part is where the forks go up into the frame. I hope you have better luck than i did👍Stay safe guys! I was told that mountain bike forks work very well.
I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting much from this build, but that unholy mishmash of metal turned out pretty cool. It doesnt look real comfortable, though, unless you're 5 feet tall.
@@poppacross79 two things: if his shoulder is still THAT weak after that amount of time, he shouldn't do too much or his right arm will be useless while riding. Secondly, he can do another lap if he wants. He is the honorary Safety Sam of the group, after all.
Definitely my favorite build yet. Idk why cuz y’all make some amazing stuff, but this one kinda combines simple with practicality. Would be an awesome mini mahem bike, also congrats on 1mil guys! Y’all definitely deserve it and much more.
@@brodylockley3141 For Pete's sake, anything that allows kids to still have fun, while lessening the severity of any injuries, is worthwhile. That football-pads-looking thing may prevent broken ribs or a shoulder injury like Ike had.
That turned out great! With my splatter paint idea, I was thinking black/yellow splatter (keep some of the original bike color) but that all yellow looks good.. expeciallly with the blue handkerchief seat and blue engine color.
I'm glad to see Ike "back on the horse", but also glad he didn't go again. We need him back in shape so he can do crazy things in the future! I have to say I was worried about adding Charles as the channel was already great before, but he fits in perfectly!
It's even better now, cuz he's such a good mechanic and fabricator. Plus, TWO guys can work while one holds the camera. And Chas has that good ol' boy country charm.
When are we going to see some mini truck content? I have a Mitsubishi mini truck 4x4 and last winter my buddy and I decided to drive it on our lake in Nebraska. We were fine and dandy in the cove (which we drove our john deere 5 wheeler pulling logs for fish cover on the ice) but that day we decided to drive to the little island. Little did we know the ice was not very solid towards the island and it slammed down to right below the windshield and stopped dead. Luckily I had my window open for just such an emergency and before I got the "f" out of "oh fffffffff!!!" My buddy said he saw my heels out that window. He had his window up and it took him a few seconds to get out but fortunately he did shortly after myself. Before we were both standing up it had sunk so only one inch of the roof was sticking out. It was there it stayed for two weeks. (Bye bye cellphone I was in the process of removing from my pocket for island pictures) After the ice had gotten thicker near the island we went to work. Using chainsaws and shovels we cut the ice into small squares and used the shovels to push it under the ice we stood upon. Once we reached the shore of the island we anchored a winch to a tree and pulled her to dry land. After some finesse we managed to turn it around and tow her back to the Morton shed. I managed to get her going great again by thoroughly drying the truck and all the connections and distributor with a tarp and a 31,000 BTU propane heater set as low as it would go. I drained the fuel tank (it conveniently has a drain plug) I drained all the diffs/engine/transmission and flushed them with diesel fuel. Spun the engine with all the plugs removed, added diesel and blew it out with a compressor. Changed the spark plugs fuel filter and air filter and BAM! SHE LIVES TO HAUL DIRT AGAIN! It's a sweet little river rat truck
Call it "Banquet" Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet.(the gold is usually more yellow. Look at getting a "Peerless" 100 differential and build a trike to go with.
This has always been fun to watch, you boys take me back to the 50's when I built my first mini bike...but...Charles adds that little extra zing you guys have been needing all along.
John, why did you take first ride ??? And why do you have so many opinions about it or how the builders ride it ??? Otherwise, well done Isaac & Charles, it's beautiful 👍
Ike is so funny 😂 imma go again. NO! Learn when to stop 😂 you guys should put a drag tire on it and sort the clearance problems! Then tune the engine. Be a sweet drag bike! Or... a hard plastic tire and make a drift bike??
Hey I like how you guys got the brake handle throttle instead of a Twist throttle that's how I had it mine it's a much better Ride Like That and your wrist doesn't hurt after a while that's how I got it on my 212cc Predator engine motorbike firmstrong beach cruiser 😎😎😎
Been watching for years and enjoy all the kart stuff but a lot of the time I would really like to see some car/truck/whatever content. Even if it's something stupid and small.
I have a tire you guys can haveFor your minibike project. I bought it new for an old three wheeler that I ended up junking. you guys only live about 15 minutes from my house so you wouldn’t have to go far to get it.
Put a back support cushion on it. Give it a nice 60-70's era look to it. Plus help keep the heat away some. Only need 5 psi those tires but if you really want to help with the bounce then put helium in the tires. 1psi helium 4 psi air.
That thing is sick gents! Dude that thing would make a sick sand drag bike for busco beach! That thing would absolutely rip across the beach with a paddle tire!!
This build is awesome, but you need to build another one just like it with a wider heavier front tire. If you can custom build a front end for a 19" motorcycle tire, it'll do a whole lot better, but I do really like this thing!
You need to figure out either a pit bike front fork and suspension or at minimum a mountain bike front fork and suspension. A 80cc dirtbike tire with suspension would be epic and y’all could actually trail ride it
I know it goes against the concept of this build but you should get a fatter tire on the front, and/or do a motorized "chopper bike" you know the bikes that looked like motorcycles, they are pretty cool.
Please add a gusset or plates to the headtube. It wasn't made to handle the weight or forces its experiencing now. Likely it will crack at the down tube and break off.
LOL heated seat. so out side the front tire put the skis from an old 1960's to 70' Johndeer snowmobile and ride it in the winter. may have to change rear tire to one of those sand tires!
Helmet and armour and no gloves? Your hands will always be the first thing to touch the ground, or the spokes or the engine or anything that will remove skin...............really cool bike, put on a twist grip??????
I love the build and all of your videos. Your safety gear is lacking, all of those protectors but shorts and no gloves. Your hands are the first thing you put out when you fall. I hope you guys stay safe.
I think it would be cool to build a kick start setup on a mini bike with a similar chain jack shaft setup. Use an idler sprocket that only turns one way sorta like on a bike and use that to crank the engine. Install a kick start lever on a jack shaft setup. Ive been really wanting to try this and i think it would be cool. Would eliminate the pull start and maybe start a new trend.
I think you need a fatter tire in the front for traction. That big tire in the back is pushing the bike anywhere it wants to. A dual purpose tire would do good. Widen the front forks. The way that bike is set up would be perfect for drag racing.
Idk if yall know or if anyone's already said it but make sure the stem that holds the handle bars is tight. That style stem comes loose pretty easily compared to a threadless headset. Killer build tho. That thing is awesome🤘
Just want to say, I love the quality of your channel, And the quality of your builds. You guys inspired me to get a Coleman mini bike, and upgrade the Heck out of it

Yes!
Now they must
I remember that too
20 year old Coke might still be ok, but I drink Diet Pepsi (about 10 a day!), and that stuff gets NASTY a couple months after the Sell By date. I always read the cap to make sure it ain't expired before I buy it.
Still rides like an ATC!
You need to go and show the boys how to Ride Kevin.
The thing I love about this channel is whenever I lament the quality of my welds I can always come here to feel better.
th-cam.com/video/jXP6YwH6o1ko/w-d-xo.htmlu
True you would think by this time they would have learned how to weld a bit better.
Savage :D
very true
if it works, it works. they aren't perfect but they do good work.
Charles is such a half full character 🤣 Jon saying "that's enough you're good " and he keeps pulling wheelies is so gold
Lower the tire pressure in the back give you a little suspension

With that long, low stance, short bars, and big back tire, it looks like a Pro Stock Drag minibike!
Have y'all thought about a 20-inch fork setup off of a mountain bike so you had front suspension at least? Sweet bike anyways. a little out of the box this build
I might have said it before, but for a fuel tank use one of the motorized bicycle peanut tanks to add to the “chopper” look and lines!
th-cam.com/video/jXP6YwH6o1kk/w-d-xo.htmljg
John's protection gear looks like something that cane out of Halo
Gotta swap out those front forks for a set from a cheapo mountainbike so you've got some basic front suspension, will help a LOT in the corners !
Could also chop+extend your current forks about an inch so you can corner without the foot pegs hitting the ground.
I was thinking that but a 20 inch fat bike tire with suspension would look awesome

Making a proper seat pan with a flange at the back for your butt to sit in instead of sitting your tailbone into the fender would be the easy fix.
I hope you do the springer front end design, that would be killer.
A girder style front would look killer and work good too.
Totally awesome build. Like something I would have done as a young man... But I think I would build a wide front fork and use wide tire on the front as well.

I was waiting for Ike to say “I’m going fast again!”
8:21 John almost takes off Charles' hand
yeah I saw that. definitely wouldnt wanna get your hand caught in between that tire and fender. close call.
Wasn’t Johns fault
@@albertjankins2225 didnt say it was. bet charles wont do that again tho lol.
@@joegti10 yeah I don’t understand why he did that

I was told that mountain bike forks work very well.
needs a spring seat, springer front, and flip the steering stem backwards to get it closer to the driver, or get some ape hanger bars.
Needs 20” mountain bike forks for the suspension
Or even get 24" forks and a 16" wheel. That would look sick.
@@fellenXD hell yeah
I know how deadly it would be and how much work it would take, but imagine this thing on the drag strip with a slick in the rear and a 670 up front
I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting much from this build, but that unholy mishmash of metal turned out pretty cool. It doesnt look real comfortable, though, unless you're 5 feet tall.
Would be cool to get some ape hanger bars off an oil banana seat bike
Great to see Isaac back on a bike again!! Great Run Buddy for the first time back. Take it easy for a while.
"You're not allowed to go again" good call John
I agree. Take it slow Isaac. You’re not seventeen anymore.

I'm glad to see you guys "gearing up" now when you ride, AND not going FULL BONZAI on the first lap. Sets a good example for the kids.
I don’t no what the bullet proof vest looking thing is it seems kinda stupid kids probably don’t need it

IM GOIN FAST AGAIN WOOOO!!-talledega nights
A springer front end would be awesome!
Stay tuned!
So great seeing Ike is recovering more and more from his injury. Still a long way to go but hey, it'll be fine!
Good to see Ike back in the saddle, guys! I feel ya about tying to turn that big squishy tire- they don't slide much behind you, do they! FR
That turned out great! With my splatter paint idea, I was thinking black/yellow splatter (keep some of the original bike color) but that all yellow looks good.. expeciallly with the blue handkerchief seat and blue engine color.
Put a new tire on it, work the engine over to stage 3 it will be a hoot.
Charles looks like Shaggy there at the end😂😂😂
10:00 Now THAT may be the best launch of any project you've done!
It is begging for a slick on back! Cool build!
I feel your pain Isaac... I separated my shoulder from my collarbone on a Coleman 200x LOL
From now on we shall call him “Strong Hand Charles”
Are y'all freaking kidding me with this video everyone in full gear for a stock build bike I am very disappointed
This build is awesome. If I could do the same build I might use a wide tire on the front also. Great build fellers!
Prob my favorite build, don’t know why just love it
ABOUT 99% OF THE BUILDS ARE MY FAVORITE, BUT ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT.
I'm glad to see Ike "back on the horse", but also glad he didn't go again. We need him back in shape so he can do crazy things in the future!

Looks like another cool build, good job you guys. Take it easy with that shoulder, mine took over a year to fully heal.
Really cool build! I wonder if it would benefit having a steering stabilizer with that rigid front and narrow tire.
Y'all knocked it out of the park again I'm glad to see Isaac is getting better and joining in on the reindeer games
This bank story really sucked me in.
Love the name of Mullet and what a great build! Unfortunately the colors are Blue & Maize like that university up North. Lol
Love the wheely shots! Wish Isaac a quick recovery...to hold the camera longer..LOL!! DVD:)
Didn't put the wet paint sign up lol Charles 🤣
Awesome job on the frame. I like this bike.
This is the coolest looking build I’ve ever seen you guys do

I would widen out the front fork and put a dirt bike tire on it
Call it "Banquet" Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet.(the gold is usually more yellow. Look at getting a "Peerless" 100 differential and build a trike to go with.
You guys already chopped the rear end, put some suspension on this with a slightly bigger tire!!! I love this build 🙌🏼
This has always been fun to watch, you boys take me back to the 50's when I built my first mini bike...but...Charles adds that little extra zing you guys have been needing all along.
Super cool bike y’all made. We Love watching you guys. Y’all need to keep Charles in the videos. He is y’all’s James May 🤣🤣
....This week on Orange County Cars & Cameras...The boys take their 1st thrilling rides on "Mini-Chops"....Sahweeeet....The straight pipe Rocks
John, why did you take first ride ???
And why do you have so many opinions about it or how the builders ride it ???
Otherwise, well done Isaac & Charles, it's beautiful 👍
YALL BOYS NEED TO WRAP MATTRESSES AROUND THE TREES

Been watching for years and enjoy all the kart stuff but a lot of the time I would really like to see some car/truck/whatever content. Even if it's something stupid and small.
Now you guys need a project with more than 4 tires like...oh I dunno...a 6 wheel Argo...just sayin.
That bike looks like it was built by either NAPA, New Holland Tractors, or the LA Rams! Great color combo!
One motorized dirt drag bicycle down, what's next? Maybe a hill climber (steeple chase) bike or side hack?
you guys should make a generator powered E bike, like 50cc generator cheap one and a drill motor of something
I have a tire you guys can haveFor your minibike project. I bought it new for an old three wheeler that I ended up junking. you guys only live about 15 minutes from my house so you wouldn’t have to go far to get it.
This thing turned out much cooler than I thought it would! Just a really cool, quirky machine. I would call it "Big booty Trudy"
Put a back support cushion on it. Give it a nice 60-70's era look to it. Plus help keep the heat away some. Only need 5 psi those tires but if you really want to help with the bounce then put helium in the tires. 1psi helium 4 psi air.
That rear tire reminds me of Batman's motorcycle in the dark knight movies. Should've painted it all black!
That thing is sick gents! Dude that thing would make a sick sand drag bike for busco beach! That thing would absolutely rip across the beach with a paddle tire!!
This build is awesome, but you need to build another one just like it with a wider heavier front tire. If you can custom build a front end for a 19" motorcycle tire, it'll do a whole lot better, but I do really like this thing!
Issac that's damn ballsy for first ride since surgery. I'd have taken something less janky for first ride.
You need to figure out either a pit bike front fork and suspension or at minimum a mountain bike front fork and suspension. A 80cc dirtbike tire with suspension would be epic and y’all could actually trail ride it
I know it goes against the concept of this build but you should get a fatter tire on the front, and/or do a motorized "chopper bike" you know the bikes that looked like motorcycles, they are pretty cool.
Please add a gusset or plates to the headtube. It wasn't made to handle the weight or forces its experiencing now. Likely it will crack at the down tube and break off.
You guys should make a Batcycle style vehicle with the fat ATV tires on both front and back
LOL heated seat. so out side the front tire put the skis from an old 1960's to 70' Johndeer snowmobile and ride it in the winter. may have to change rear tire to one of those sand tires!
TEST RIDE! Not "Test drive". (2 wheels=Ride / 4 wheels=Drive) LOL!
You should big wheel the front too.
Helmet and armour and no gloves? Your hands will always be the first thing to touch the ground, or the spokes or the engine or anything that will remove skin...............really cool bike, put on a twist grip??????
y'all should take that to mini mayhem. Wish I could be there, but I live in eastern Oregon, and can't make the drive.
ONE sweet little bike --- Good ride from each of you boys --- HoooooRaaaaaay !!!!!!!
It should be named (The Bunker Buster) 😁 because if it doesn't break your bunker it will burn it 😂
I love the build and all of your videos. Your safety gear is lacking, all of those protectors but shorts and no gloves. Your hands are the first thing you put out when you fall. I hope you guys stay safe.
I think it would be cool to build a kick start setup on a mini bike with a similar chain jack shaft setup. Use an idler sprocket that only turns one way sorta like on a bike and use that to crank the engine. Install a kick start lever on a jack shaft setup. Ive been really wanting to try this and i think it would be cool. Would eliminate the pull start and maybe start a new trend.
Looks like a Huffy BMX bike from the 80's due to the yellow and blue paint.
I think you need a fatter tire in the front for traction. That big tire in the back is pushing the bike anywhere it wants to. A dual purpose tire would do good. Widen the front forks. The way that bike is set up would be perfect for drag racing.
Very cool , but I'd have loved it had ya'll followed through with the Springer forks.
Maybe build another one ?!?
😂🤣😂 Being an old fella fellas like these brings the big kid out in me. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Idk if yall know or if anyone's already said it but make sure the stem that holds the handle bars is tight. That style stem comes loose pretty easily compared to a threadless headset. Killer build tho. That thing is awesome🤘
I like the C's in the bottom bracket (were the cranks go). it's the "mach-fun"
I like how you guys did the jackshaft that's pretty awesome you guys are all pretty cool but I think Ike takes the Cake lol
Just want to say, I love the quality of your channel, And the quality of your builds. You guys inspired me to get a Coleman mini bike, and upgrade the Heck out of it
They made me get a baja and do stuff to it.
Nice! I would make a thicker seat for more cushion and get some beach cruiser handle bars with a small bell :-)
I think it would like sick with a crf110 front wheel and tire. The bicycle tire just ain’t it.
Please put a knobby tire on the front of that bicycle rim 👍 and they make a big wheel conversion to for bicycle rims and tires
