Maybe you could ramp up your channel with a Giveaway! Not that you're not doing great the heck I would buy more merch if I had a shot at a 76 Buick with holes in the floorboard LOL. Buy merch get entries all that good stuff. Your channel is awesome. I don't know I would just love to see you ballin like Street speed 717 or something. You deserve it man 💪. I'm sure there's a lot to it though. I'm going to go buy some merch😊
Mike's smiles and joy at the end was the icing on the cake at the for this video. Considering it took 2.5 years to make happen I was a little worried we'd not get that happy ending. That's in no way meant to knock you young men and the fact you did it all free of charge is truly heart warming. Take care and God bless...
Dude Kevin this channel has 100% come together for me. Kevin you have the perfect narrator voice and such a fun demeanor. Having Angus and Ezra in the videos is just money. You guys are so entertaining and make this stuff so much fun! Been watching a long long time and man I so appreciate when you guys sometimes slow it up and deep dive on how something works and how to fix or replace it. This is quality and so so much respect for how y’all could get any damn thing to run, road, water, trails, anything!
100% ....I'm NOT a car guy, but somehow he has roped me in with his personality and humor. I've learned a ton from him (that I'll likely never use) it's been a joy to watch his channel grow!
EZRA!!!! Keep this guy in the channel!! Absolutely hilarious every time he’s on an episode. From the stories to talking like a Canadian. This guy is a hoot.
The correct term is hoser, eh, and if he replaces Angus I expect the video of Angus being fired to be posted, preferably filmed during another excursion to visit Possum Lake....
The one thing I love about this channel is you guys enjoy fixing stuff for people and you don't charge them anything. People helping people is a great thing
I honestly can’t believe he just let you take it home for 2 years and he trusted you guys that you would bring it back or I may just have trust issues lol
It's that Midwest kindness. I'm from the northeast and visit Missouri once a year. I definitely feel like I have trust issues when I visit but just realize everyone is just really kind.
The sound of that motor running gave me flashbacks to 1980-1981. Three-wheelers really are dangerous. I was one of those kids that got my leg under the tire after my foot bounced off the foot peg while going too fast down a gravel road. It ran over my back as my face skidded through the gravel. So much fun! Kids today don't know what they're missing. 😂🤣😂
Their only Dangerous to People that don't know how to ride them and that's what got them Banned in the USA. I grew up in the 3-Wheel Mania of Early to Mid Eighties when everybody and their Brother could go out and Buy these not knowing how to ride and getting injured or Killed. Yes, they are Harder to ride than a Quad or a Dirt Bike, but if you know how to use Body English in the Turns and Off Camber they were a Blast.
They're only dangerous to those who don't know how to ride them! Trikes are basically all I ride lol now mind you I've had a few tip overs in my day but that only happens when I go out of my comfort zone and push myself too far lol nothing beats a honda 3 wheeler!
These smaller revivals are fantastic and having friends like Ezra is great. Great video and troubleshooting. Plus like Ezra said it’s just friggin fun, you spent a day and got this thing running and plastered a huge smile on the owner’s face. He turned into a kid instantly.
I may have cried just a little there at the end (but in a very manly way, of course)! Good on you for restoring Mike's little Honda, and getting it back to him so he can enjoy it once again! GREAT video! A+++++
How fun. The Honda ATC. The 70, 90, 110 , the 185’s, and the big red. And then the three wheeler that killed them all… the 250R. That and the Yamaha tri-Z. And the 4 wheeler was born. The 110 was a fun ATC with the Honda 3 speed clutch less transmission. The only flaw was the suspension was the air pressure in the tires. 😄 You guys saved an absolute treasure!
Reminds me of my old 84 honda 200s atc I had as a teen. Found it just the same sitting in a yard and the person said if I could move it I can have it. I pushed that sucker down a hill with all flats. Lol😂 haven't seen it in over 15 years.
My first experience with a three wheeler was a buddy's Honda 110, he used to whip us around on the snow with a 15 foot strap tied to an innertube. Good memories!
This brings back memories. Growing up we had a 1977 or 1978 ATC70 and then in 1980 Mom and Dad surprised us with a brand new ATC110! I wish I knew how many miles us kids put on those wheelers. Woke up in the morning and they pretty much ran all day. I remember one time we had to sand the points. In 1997 we sold the farm. Wheelers went with the farm. I have no idea what ever happened to them.
So cool to see Ezrah again ... he, "PBG" Dalton, Tom, John, and Angus (together or on their own, or mixed and matched with all of your other gearhead cronies) always make for great interaction, awesome content, add Mook, along with you Kevin, and your straight up freekin' hilariously funny yet instructive babbles of information always make the wait for the next vid just too damn long... so getting 2 vids in a week is a welcome bonus. Peace out, from Doc, in the Great White (yup, it's gettin' white again) North of southern Ontario, Canada🦫🦫🟥🍁🟥 .... BTW, listening to you and Ezrah doing your "North Country" or Minnesota/Wisconsin accents reminds me of when I lived in Thunder Bay, Ontario... there are a shit ton of folks there and in the area southwest of T-Bay that sound JUST like that...lmfao.
Loved this episode!! Made me miss my long gone Honda 250XL Street/Trail Bike. Bought it new in 77' when I was 19. Joined the Air Force a year later and then left it in my parents basement for 18 months while I was stationed in Okinawa. Returned back, put the battery back in, gave it one kick and it started like it hadn't been sitting in a dark damp basement. Wish I had never sold it. Course, I'm 66 now and too old to ride.
Your never too old to ride always remember that I don't care if I'm ready to kroke I'll be out ridding till the day I go to heaven as of I go to heaven hint..but yeah I love my toys..
@bernardowens1648 I'm so sorry to hear that you can only do so much hope you feel better take a lot walks and keep moving git exercise when you can it helps a lot...👍🏻
@anthonycoach4551 yeah, with the multiple strokes, I've developed Neuropathy in my feet which is not only causing constant foot pain, it also causes severe instability while walking. Both feet are practically numb and with little sense of feeling, your brain can't tell when more pressure needs to be applied to which leg for equilibrium. I walk with a cane but am a severe fall risk anytime I'm on my feet. Just a matter of time before I'm doing a commercial for "LifeAlert". Lol
@bernardowens1648 😆I'm sorry I had to laugh I'm so sorry hear about that my 1 uncle that passed away had Neuropathy in his legs and feet also he couldn't hardly stand up it was bad then he wound up in a rest home and developed slight dementia and a staff infection and died from it he just passed away the middle of summer this year it was my dad's brother..took it hard for a little while but ok now..he was only 80 years old my dad is 85 he has sciatica in his lower back but still moves around..I hope u git better with therapy...
I daydream about all of you having a huge collaboration with the corn, Cole The Cornstar, the equipment, and a bunch of folks riding on trikes filming the planting/harvest.
I'm so glad you uploaded this! My neighbor down the street offered his Honda ATC200 for $350 CAD so like 275? USD and I kind of want to buy it but I know nothing about fixing it. It isn't even seized!
@@Lane-jq3ed after watching this I am thinking I might do it, unfortunately I don't have a storage unit full of spare 3 wheeler parts lol. It needs a front tire at least, the bars and stuff are a bit bent from a rollover and it turns over but there's a bit of water coming out with each pull of the cord 😅
That brings back some memories. I had a 250 back in the day. A friend managed to flip it on top of himself and broke a collarbone. Ah... Memories... They're pretty much illegal to sell new these days, so all we have are these old ones. It's good to see one running again. Now if only they bring back lawn darts.
So when I was 9 for Christmas my parents bought me a brand new Suzuki lt80 quad for Christmas. My neighbor and best friend who was a year younger then me. Got the 72cc version of this 3 wheeler. His was definitely faster and it had a 3 speed where my was automatic. To give you reference to the year I was born in 86. So like this was 1995 I think. I'll never forget the first time riding. And then going next door to his house to see him ride his. He drove up from his house to the alley all in first gear. Down into the house next door that was empty and decrepit straight to the house wide open and right through the back door into the screened in porch. His dad freaked out. Afterwards he was fine for whatever reason. Needless to say. We drove the crap out of them both. Good memories for sure..
I don't know which was better. The smile on mike's face when he was riding it and wanting to share with his grandkids....or the high 5 at the end....the pride you guys felt at that moment.....Oh Ya!!! Dat was Werth it!!! Great job guys!!!
The torch tip cleaner is nice, but if you have a buddy who plays the guitar, go over to his house with wire snips and ask if you can trim the "whiskers" on the tuning head. It doesn't affect the guitar, and the small pieces of metal wire fit very nicely in the orifices of most carburetors. And if his guitar has nylon strings, you really need to choose your friends better, eh. Another great video!
Kevin, I just want to thank you for the diverse content you have. It shows me that the same principles apply no matter what you are working on. I recently inherited two four-wheelers, hardly ridden any and certainly not worked on one. These had been sittings for years, I got the first one running today and hope to get the second one going tomorrow. I enjoy watching you and your friends working on things and having fun, definitely helps me not get frustrated. Keep up the good work, and I wish you, your friends and family a great holiday season!
That was a very kind thing you two guys did for your friend Mike. Even if it took some time to do, it's the though that counts. Another amazing video and the reason we keep on watching this incredible channel!
Now that im a bit older, I really understand the value of things like that old ATV. You just took 40+ years off that guys smile as he rode it around for the first time in decades. Now he gets to share it with his grandchildren? That is priceless. While i know it was done for the channel in some ways, I have a feeling you would do it just to be a kind person. Cheers to you guys for helping that family make an entirely new generation of memories!
Best episode ever! Everyone has a small Honda motorcycle story which they remember with fondness. I also have an old Honda Cub / C90. It's the quickest thing into town because you can park it anywhere, but the trips take the longest as someone will always want to talk to me about it, and tell their story. Love the small Hondas.
One of my favorite tricks learned watching these style videos is to always keep a dollar on me. Sounds crazy but you can use it to clean the points on the distrubtor after sanding. 🤘 Rock on love the videos from Missouri
I got an 86 honda rebel 250 at an old Danish farmers estate auction that was around fertilizer since 2001. We drove it home from the auction with his old helmet. I shined it up with steel wool and Walmart wd40. Some clearcoat and a ceramic coating, and it's beautiful 😅. I wish he could see it!
Who was cutting onions at the end of the video? My eyes were watering a little bit..but yeah seeing Mike’s smile and riding the 3 wheeler , the joy in his voice when he talked about letting his grandkids ride it, and not charging any money for restoring it for him , awesome, just awesome.
I agree. Torch tip cleaners are my go to for carb jets as well. They are the best tool that I have found, besides an old wire brush that I pull the bristles out of.
The screw heads are always stripped because guys use Philips screwdrivers on JIS ( Japanese Industry Standard ) screws. Honda ATC’s are great well worth saving.
As a 13 year old boy, with little money and minimal tools who wants to get into working on engines, is there any small machines that you would recommend me get (atv, three wheeler, snowmobile, etc) that are simple and cheap to work on.
Love those old Hondas. We used to buy them in college for $50. Get them running, clean them up, resell and be lucky to have enough to buy beer afterward. I’d bet I’ve had 3 dozen over the years. Little one owner 76 ATC 90 is still my absolute favorite. I do miss my 350X though.
I bought my Honda 250 ES shaft drive three wheeler in 1985 brand new, it’s never been in the shop and still runs great! A year ago I put new tires and brakes on it and I just changed the choke cable! The start button quit working so I put a heavy duty button on it, push the but and choke it and it fires right up every time! One thing is the kick start is kinda stripped out and I have to kick it and hold it until it quits spinning and the next kick it cranks up! You can’t kill em!
The best part of this video was not when the engine broke free. It was not when you and Ezra were joking around, ribbing each other back and forth. It wasn't when you went and dug out the wheels from the other machine, nor when you mounted them on Mike's machine and rode it for the first time. The best part was when Mike rode it for the first time in decades. Keep doing what you do Kevin 😊
Kevin, when people send you amazingly useful items like that gasket set you should write their name on it and give them a shoutout. I promise that I'm not trying be a dork, but that would be really cool of you to give thanks to those who help you out. Edit: I'm sorry bud, that sounded really rude on my part, but I don't mean to be ignorant. It was just a suggestion.
my dad bought a brand new Honda ATC 185 in 1980 or so. It had the big balloon tires and solid front forks. I was 10-11 at the time and rode that thing every chance i got, even until my thumb went numb riding in the winters. Good job on saving an old ATC!
So awesome to see people still having things there parents bought them when they were kids. He was a lucky little guy to get this for his birthday. My parents got me plenty of motorized things over the years. Unfortunately with moving I didn't keep any. Only 2 years ago I found a 1979 stepside that was the same style and color as the one my father had when I was in grade 10. I bought it and have enjoyed Sharing the new memories with my daughters. Hopefully this winter I get a 502 engine to put in it in the spring
I know how life can get in the way of stuff like this. I took an antique mower from a friend of mine and told him I would get it running for him. I got it running, but two years later, I still haven't gotten it to run right. It happens sometimes.
I started out working on old mopeds etc and a little thing I ended up researching and finding for corrosion removal is phosphoric acid which can be bought in large containers then diluted, saved me trying to get in all the little fins on the cylinders and in the tank. Just generally useful and used properly is just a corrosion remover for most metals. Not sure this is new info or useful but its certainly efficient compared to buying rust converters that need a small mortgage to afford :) Loving the content as always lads, blows my mind as someone from the UK.
Not surprised at all I expected as much. when I watched the intro. I thought you would take it home do what you did and get it back to him for his birthday 24 hours later.
I grew up on a Honda atc125M and my best buddy had a atc 110. We have some wonderful memories from these machines. And just in case you were wondering. Yes. They do float!
What a great restoration. 2 ideas as you like to work on these old machines on a budget. 1 plastic stapler/welder is a great way to repair those plastics. It is much faster and easier with a better finish. Less than $20.00. Also if you add ATF to those old dry rotted tires they will swell on the inside and prevent slow air leaks. I have been doing this for years on dry rotted tires and they hold for years. Thank you for sharing.
They're known for being dangerous because the average person would try to ride one like an ATV and roll it over because its a trike. The singular front wheel makes it tippy when you make hard turns at high speeds. If you understand how to shift your weight on it they were perfectly safe to operate. But like I said, people that didn't know how to ride them crashed them and called them dangerous.
@@ville-pekkaihamaki1166 they go a lot faster than what was seen on the video. You also saw how when someone like Kevin got on and sat a little farther back on the seat made it wheelie when he shifted gears. The trikes were originally meant to fulfill the UTV role. Low range for pulling trailers, high range for road travel or trail riding. And while yes, let's call it 20 mph, may seem slow it's more than enough to cause it to tip or roll. The other thing to remember is the trikes don't weigh hardly anything, so there's not much to keep them grounded. You know the three wheeled motorcycles you see old people riding on the road? They have two wheels in the front and one in the rear because it's way more stable, unlike the Honda's. Like I said in my last comment, they're not hard to control if you know how to ride them but are still more likely to roll/crash than any ATV.
Great revival, and a nice thing you did for Mike! Ezra, riding out of the shed holding the gas-tank, looked like "Diogenes in Search of an Honest Man"...on wheels!
I knew it would run. Me and my cousin got his old 185 running, it had seized from overheating, we stuffed it in gear and rocked it back and forth until it finally broke free, far as I know it still runs
Not a fan of their cars, but had a honda pump that went swimming. Quick clean up, clean the mud out the carb, sand off the rust and new fluids. Runs like a champ and hasnt missed a beat since
I had a 110 as a kid, it was a wore out irrigating rig on the ranch, so I drug it out of the barn, and got it running. Ran it with the choke on the whole time I had it because my dad told me if I took the carb off, I would never get it back together. I remember the muffler was rotted out, so Dad welded up a piece of galvanized pipe for an exhaust, and that probably contributed to my hearing loss.

I don't know which was better. The smile on mike's face when he was riding it and wanting to share with his grandkids....or the high 5 at the end....the pride you guys felt at that moment.....Oh Ya!!! Dat was Werth it!!! Great job guys!!!
picked one of these up for like $700 off an old yard sale
needed new battery and thats about it, ran smooth as butter
The torch tip cleaner is nice, but if you have a buddy who plays the guitar, go over to his house with wire snips and ask if you can trim the "whiskers" on the tuning head. It doesn't affect the guitar, and the small pieces of metal wire fit very nicely in the orifices of most carburetors. And if his guitar has nylon strings, you really need to choose your friends better, eh. Another great video!
Knowing musicians and carburetors is a good thing. You get Guitar and tailpipe melodies as a side effect.
46:45 Aww man he was hoping that was it and yall delivered! That's got to feel good.
Kevin, I just want to thank you for the diverse content you have. It shows me that the same principles apply no matter what you are working on. I recently inherited two four-wheelers, hardly ridden any and certainly not worked on one. These had been sittings for years, I got the first one running today and hope to get the second one going tomorrow. I enjoy watching you and your friends working on things and having fun, definitely helps me not get frustrated.
Keep up the good work, and I wish you, your friends and family a great holiday season!
Dad bought an 85 Big Red and that sucker was a tank. It was stolen and never recovered many years after we had it but it was awesome while we had it.
Nothing is better than Ezra !!!!
the fact i remembered it was the one from the same barn as the planter by just the thumbnail was insane.
Yeeep, I was like, "Is it THAT one?"
Great revival, and the joy you gave that guy, priceless.
That was a very kind thing you two guys did for your friend Mike. Even if it took some time to do, it's the though that counts. Another amazing video and the reason we keep on watching this incredible channel!
Seeing Kevin on the 110 reminds me of pictures of Andre the giant riding his 200 big Red
Now that im a bit older, I really understand the value of things like that old ATV. You just took 40+ years off that guys smile as he rode it around for the first time in decades. Now he gets to share it with his grandchildren? That is priceless. While i know it was done for the channel in some ways, I have a feeling you would do it just to be a kind person. Cheers to you guys for helping that family make an entirely new generation of memories!
His smile is contagious! That's what it's all about! Mad Luv N Respect
Best episode ever! Everyone has a small Honda motorcycle story which they remember with fondness. I also have an old Honda Cub / C90. It's the quickest thing into town because you can park it anywhere, but the trips take the longest as someone will always want to talk to me about it, and tell their story. Love the small Hondas.
One of my favorite tricks learned watching these style videos is to always keep a dollar on me. Sounds crazy but you can use it to clean the points on the distrubtor after sanding. 🤘 Rock on love the videos from Missouri
I got an 86 honda rebel 250 at an old Danish farmers estate auction that was around fertilizer since 2001. We drove it home from the auction with his old helmet. I shined it up with steel wool and Walmart wd40. Some clearcoat and a ceramic coating, and it's beautiful 😅. I wish he could see it!
Hell yeah brother perfect timing for this snowy Saturday morning
Thanks!
Happy to see a fellow smiling like that makes ya feel good
Man that's cool. Getting to make a guy happy like that and see the joy in his face is worth way more than money.
Who was cutting onions at the end of the video? My eyes were watering a little bit..but yeah seeing Mike’s smile and riding the 3 wheeler , the joy in his voice when he talked about letting his grandkids ride it, and not charging any money for restoring it for him , awesome, just awesome.
I agree. Torch tip cleaners are my go to for carb jets as well. They are the best tool that I have found, besides an old wire brush that I pull the bristles out of.
Making me want to become a farmer or a youtuber fixing junk.
Always enjoy when Ezra is in the videos . He’s such a good dude . Well done guys , made that guy super happy . Good stuff !
Ezra is such a joy anytime he’s in a video.
The screw heads are always stripped because guys use Philips screwdrivers on JIS ( Japanese Industry Standard ) screws.
Honda ATC’s are great well worth saving.
I was just rewatching the 250 SX video, and I think you should help Ezra save that green squarebody at his cabin.
Had a 110 as a kid. My brother and I put probably a couple of thousand miles on it and it never failed us. Toughest machine i have ever seen.
Those old Honda 3 wheelers are tough af. I'm glad you young guys saved her.
As a 13 year old boy, with little money and minimal tools who wants to get into working on engines, is there any small machines that you would recommend me get (atv, three wheeler, snowmobile, etc) that are simple and cheap to work on.
Hells yeah!! Another Junkyard Digs this week!!?!?! I’ll take it!!! Thank you for the awesome content !
What should I look for as a midwestern teen looking for a first truck?
It took a while, but you fellers done good! Thank You for making someone happy!
Mike's smile and the thoughts of him riding with his grandkids, PRICELESS!
22:18 my favorite way to fix random not so loud noises, turn up the stereo.
Love those old Hondas. We used to buy them in college for $50. Get them running, clean them up, resell and be lucky to have enough to buy beer afterward. I’d bet I’ve had 3 dozen over the years. Little one owner 76 ATC 90 is still my absolute favorite. I do miss my 350X though.
Nice one Kevin it looks amazing and that gentleman will have adventures with grandkids
Really awesome Kevin and Ezra for getting the 3 wheeler running for him. He looks like he was thinking he was a young boy again when he got on it.
This just made my week, count them two JYD videos plus Dalton and this one is a blast from the past, how time doth fly lol.
Well done! I too was not thinking it was going to recover that well and that quickly.
I bought my Honda 250 ES shaft drive three wheeler in 1985 brand new, it’s never been in the shop and still runs great! A year ago I put new tires and brakes on it and I just changed the choke cable! The start button quit working so I put a heavy duty button on it, push the but and choke it and it fires right up every time! One thing is the kick start is kinda stripped out and I have to kick it and hold it until it quits spinning and the next kick it cranks up! You can’t kill em!
Another video all in one week yay
The best part of this video was not when the engine broke free. It was not when you and Ezra were joking around, ribbing each other back and forth. It wasn't when you went and dug out the wheels from the other machine, nor when you mounted them on Mike's machine and rode it for the first time.
The best part was when Mike rode it for the first time in decades. Keep doing what you do Kevin 😊
Kevin, when people send you amazingly useful items like that gasket set you should write their name on it and give them a shoutout. I promise that I'm not trying be a dork, but that would be really cool of you to give thanks to those who help you out.
Edit: I'm sorry bud, that sounded really rude on my part, but I don't mean to be ignorant. It was just a suggestion.
my dad bought a brand new Honda ATC 185 in 1980 or so. It had the big balloon tires and solid front forks. I was 10-11 at the time and rode that thing every chance i got, even until my thumb went numb riding in the winters. Good job on saving an old ATC!
You and Dylan need to race your mustang 2s
Don’t forget Dalton
So awesome to see people still having things there parents bought them when they were kids. He was a lucky little guy to get this for his birthday. My parents got me plenty of motorized things over the years. Unfortunately with moving I didn't keep any. Only 2 years ago I found a 1979 stepside that was the same style and color as the one my father had when I was in grade 10. I bought it and have enjoyed Sharing the new memories with my daughters. Hopefully this winter I get a 502 engine to put in it in the spring
You’ve outdone yourself with this one! Absolute banger.
I know how life can get in the way of stuff like this. I took an antique mower from a friend of mine and told him I would get it running for him. I got it running, but two years later, I still haven't gotten it to run right. It happens sometimes.
4:14 what are you gonna use them slicks for Kevin ? 😂😂
Ezra: Eh?
Kevin: Eh
Both: OHHHHHHHH
This is the kind of commentary I love from Ezra and Kevin. Never change boys!
Use a light bulb and crocodile clips ,Sideshow Digs. It never lies.
I started out working on old mopeds etc and a little thing I ended up researching and finding for corrosion removal is phosphoric acid which can be bought in large containers then diluted, saved me trying to get in all the little fins on the cylinders and in the tank. Just generally useful and used properly is just a corrosion remover for most metals. Not sure this is new info or useful but its certainly efficient compared to buying rust converters that need a small mortgage to afford :) Loving the content as always lads, blows my mind as someone from the UK.
Not surprised at all I expected as much. when I watched the intro. I thought you would take it home do what you did and get it back to him for his birthday 24 hours later.
I grew up on a Honda atc125M and my best buddy had a atc 110. We have some wonderful memories from these machines. And just in case you were wondering. Yes. They do float!
I remember when you guys found that thing. I never thought we'd see it again lol.
Kevin is a good man. Always does it right. Ezra is always good to see. Mike was very happy it came back home better than she left! 😊
Great video!
What a great restoration. 2 ideas as you like to work on these old machines on a budget. 1 plastic stapler/welder is a great way to repair those plastics. It is much faster and easier with a better finish. Less than $20.00. Also if you add ATF to those old dry rotted tires they will swell on the inside and prevent slow air leaks. I have been doing this for years on dry rotted tires and they hold for years. Thank you for sharing.
Are those popular because they are so dangerous?
They're known for being dangerous because the average person would try to ride one like an ATV and roll it over because its a trike. The singular front wheel makes it tippy when you make hard turns at high speeds. If you understand how to shift your weight on it they were perfectly safe to operate. But like I said, people that didn't know how to ride them crashed them and called them dangerous.
How can something that slow be dangerous
@@ville-pekkaihamaki1166 they go a lot faster than what was seen on the video. You also saw how when someone like Kevin got on and sat a little farther back on the seat made it wheelie when he shifted gears. The trikes were originally meant to fulfill the UTV role. Low range for pulling trailers, high range for road travel or trail riding. And while yes, let's call it 20 mph, may seem slow it's more than enough to cause it to tip or roll. The other thing to remember is the trikes don't weigh hardly anything, so there's not much to keep them grounded. You know the three wheeled motorcycles you see old people riding on the road? They have two wheels in the front and one in the rear because it's way more stable, unlike the Honda's. Like I said in my last comment, they're not hard to control if you know how to ride them but are still more likely to roll/crash than any ATV.
@@ville-pekkaihamaki1166 tippy and flippy
@FreezyAbitKT7A helmet on the melon
Great revival, and a nice thing you did for Mike! Ezra, riding out of the shed holding the gas-tank, looked like "Diogenes in Search of an Honest Man"...on wheels!
I absolutely love that Kevin changes accent when he is around Ezra.
We need more Ezras in the world 😎
The smile on Mikes face was worth its weight in gold for sure! Great job Kevin and Ezra! You guys rock!!
This might be one of my favorites. Watching Mike ride that thing after so long has a fat smile on my face.
One of my favorite vids in a long time! Mike was so happy! Great work fellas!
I knew it would run. Me and my cousin got his old 185 running, it had seized from overheating, we stuffed it in gear and rocked it back and forth until it finally broke free, far as I know it still runs
Not a fan of their cars, but had a honda pump that went swimming.
Quick clean up, clean the mud out the carb, sand off the rust and new fluids.
Runs like a champ and hasnt missed a beat since
I think that one thing that makes this channel most entertaining is that the guests that you have on become the main character.
You should get that plastic welder took thing that Pole Barn Garage got in one of his videos. Would be handy to repair all your 3 wheeler plastics.
I had a 110 as a kid, it was a wore out irrigating rig on the ranch, so I drug it out of the barn, and got it running. Ran it with the choke on the whole time I had it because my dad told me if I took the carb off, I would never get it back together. I remember the muffler was rotted out, so Dad welded up a piece of galvanized pipe for an exhaust, and that probably contributed to my hearing loss.
