- My buddy accidentally binned a bike of mine off a cliff in the blue mountains. It was in a remote valley but I didn't want to let it go so I set out to try and save it.

"Hey bro, remember that bike that I've borrowed from you? Well a week ago I dumped it in the bush, so if you want it back go get it yourself!"
That's a really solid mate right there 🙄
Ivo Georgiev read between the lines mate, if the police were informed, it probably got stolen from his mate and then dumped.
@@rowanskull Mate probably told him it was stolen, when in fact he crashed it and didn't want to tell him until the police got involved...
Typical bad aussie man
Suffice it to say, I don't think he'll be lending anything to him again.
@@MeleeTiger rightfully so.
Can't see the video? This video is coming up as unavailable for many people. There's no strike against it and video manager says its public. Have forwarded to TH-cam Support to look into it.
Video got Chopped? Thank you for the info! I'll patiently wait
Yup, still unavailable for me. I’m waiting patiently.
This is the first video I have ever got a "not available for device" warning on my phone. I am in the U.S if that helps at all.
I've tried incognito mode, even debugging youtube, but no luck. The video just doesn't want to load. Can't remember this particular fault ever happen before?
Tnx for the update Moog and Marty👌👌
I genuinely think, that Moog is someone, who can change peoples lives. So much energy and willpower paired with a happy personality that easily manages to make people smile!

Cool
Man no 4 wheelers in Australia to tow it out with.I could throw a rock and hit someone with a 4 wheeler with an electric winch on it
you guys are awesome!
Is there a link to donate?
Good on ya team 🤙
Been an MCM fan for the last 5/6 years... This is by far the realist video you have done. Credit to you, for not giving up on the bike and demonstrating what can be achieved when people work together.
Well done team !
Nick Burns the real difficult part is finding people who give a shit
I’m trying to calculate how many beers you have to consume to get a bike like that in such a precarious situation...
Only 10 cases of Corona
@@thatfunnykekguy6377 Not that piss water, blech.
Almost as many as the number you have to buy for your mates to pay for their help getting it back out.
Well the lack of front brake as he mentioned in the video probably was the culprit, guessing vibrations untightened it.
Approximately none. I live in the Blue Mountains. Where this bike was is fairly typical, if not a mild example of the terrain. If you can walk through it, you're not in the rough stuff. Vast majority of the area, aside from fire trails cut on the kindest terrain, is not negotiable on foot, let alone on a motorbike. If you have had ANY beers & you're in this area, you're asking to be winched out by rescue helicopter by some people who are VERY unhappy with your irresponsible nature & are working out how to send you a bill for it.
How multi skilled is Isaac? Bush Craft, Guitar Tech and VW specialist
Also heard he is a gourmet camp cook and can make origami art objects from toilet paper....
He is basically the Australian version of a Swiss army knife.
@@neovenom9833 You mean a Bowie knife? 😂
A "Jack of All Trades" LOL
@@douglasfenbert1020 god damn it that is a precious commodity RN and hes using to to make ORIGAMI?
This is really cool and different from what you guys usually post. Love it
They should have different people steal their stuff and hide it in the bush each week. Then Marty and Moog have to find and retrieve it without being killed by Australia!
@@Sharklops or just have a friend borrow it
I’m waiting for a mate
I think he is jokingly using the word friend. I think someone stole it and drove it off this cliff and the police found it and notified him of it's location
Yeah id suspect something like this
Doubt
@@awsombuttfacemonkey ok
10:41 Uhhh... I don't think so.
@@Oblithian touche
"People are willing to help... ...if you need help, ask for help" amen to that!
I'm imagining some random bushwalker coming across a parked Honda cub. What the...?!? How the?1? WHY!!???
And then it starts speaking the language of gods.
If I found a random bike in the woods that looks fresh, I'd be looking around to see if someone was injured. Then inform police.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats what i was thinking i did not expect that bike to be in that forrest. i was more thinking of a dirtbike.
not uncommon at all in my area to find vehicles abandoned in the woods stuck, be it for the night or forever
You know you’ve been watching mcm a while when you notice moogs grey beard
It’s like Bunnings outdoor carpet. Mostly black, surprisingly even dusting of grey flecks.
I don't make comments about another mans public hair. . .
They’ve got to in their 40’s right?
I was shocked when I saw someone mention Moog's age the other day.
ArthurAlcantara what is it?
Thanks Moog, was really cool to come on that adventure with you!
With friends like this, you have no need for enemies.
theres a reason somebody nominated this fella to be an ambassador for mental health,i think he seems like a nice caring type of person with no hidden agenda attached,everybody needs a friend like this one,nice words at the end well said
My daily driver is a 2008 AA01 model supercub 50 here in Japan. I love these bikes. Thanks for rescuing yours!
15:11 Very solid life advice. Love the occasional words of wisdom from Moog!
Buddy was out checking his crop eh? Done himself a mischief 🤣
If you dont give up on a Honda, it wont give up on you. Legend of a man, legend of a machine, they belong together
I forking love Aussie resilience and charitablity! You are all absolute legends!!
I was wondering what kind of bike that is until I realised that some absolute mad lad rode a scooter into the bush.
Naw man, the Cub was made to go anywhere. From pizza delivery in New York to the backwoods of India. They've even made an off road trail version of it, the CT90/CT110 since the 60s. This one looks like a street version but this isn't the strangest place a Super Cub has been.
@@DeadnCold i mean you can off-road anything but in Australia I would assume somebody has access to a more suited vehicle
I used to amaze people on 4wd only tracks by cruising past in my XW.
You can go a lot of places by just taking your time
@@DeadnCold The old CT 90 had Low Range that would have crawled back up without the tow!
@@petergriffin4629 A CT110 is probably slightly more suitable, but the super cubs can go anywhere
Thanks for that message at the end Moog we appreciate you! ✌🏻🚙💨
Most people would have left the poor little Cub down there, so impressed you banded together and saved it! Legends.
No clue why this was so entertaining to watch. Couldn't look away. Perhaps the teamwork aspect. "I've got a quest i can't complete. I'll bring some mates and win the day." Not sure. Loved the presentation 👌! Thanks
Moog started a new workout called “BushFit”
Hardly a new concept.... check out mick dodge
American scary stories: "...and then we found a staircase in the middle of the woods!"
Aussie scary story: "...so while we were hiking half-cut me and me mates found a pristine Honda Cub in the middle of the woods! Crikey!"

Thank you for talking about mental health Blair, we love you guys so much
Man,
I reckon this should of made the your main channel this is a perfect example of how against odds asking for help and reaching out beyond your known circle can reap great rewards.!
Fantastic effort guys and gals I will be looking forward to more content like this.
With a rescue like that, the “unrecoverable supra” in japan should be a piece of piss lol
thx going down that rabbit hole now
That is hardly 'unrecoverable', just not financially worth it to anyone to do it. If you want to talk about unrecoverable cars, see Lake Rose in Winter Park, FL, where there are a couple of Porsches that were swallowed by the sinkhole that created the lake.
Not many people interested in MKIII Supras (The coolest one in my humble opinion) to partake in something like that. People would dig It out if It was a MKIV though.
Yup. If you've ever seen that show where they tow upside down crashed semi trucks up cliffs, you know that supra could be recovered without crazy effort. The body is a lost cause with the water level though.
And the fact that he is still a friend says a lot for who you are!
Moog, one of your best episodes ever. I'm a biker and I've done loads of recoveries with binned and stolen bikes. Plus, thank you for shining a light on mental health services, it removes stigma of mental illness (which I personally reckon is the worst part of dealing with mental health issues).
This is a mission I would enjoy! No motorbike shall be left behind! I have been on a similar mission in the Watagans National Park - We headed down a valley on dusk and got stuck with mud, leaves and clay. We used Telstra rope to sling the bikes from tree to tree all the way to the top. I love the episode - some great people banding together to rescue a mighty postie!
Your buddy should make a pretty substantial donation to ReachOut just so he can regain some of the lost karma....
Love the video. Thanks for giving us a little insight into a bit of your life outside of the usual Mighty Car Mods stuff.
Asking for help can feel like an impossible task when you are struggling.
The more we talk about it the easier it gets.
top work bro 👌🏻
Badass retrievable, I bet it hurt that guy to come to you and be like "dude, I dumped your bike down a cliff", lol. That had to be embarrassing. Glad you got it out, very cool to see everybody rally together like that.
When you finally get on the bike and ride up the hill there I feel like Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman should be coming back down the other way.
Isaac! Twice in a week!
I don’t know if you will see this but your channel turned my life around and am know doing youth advocacy work for kids with mental health, maddddd respect to mcm and mcmtv2
Thank you for not giving up on the little Honda!
Why does this say "this video is unavailable on this device"? I've never seen this before.
I love this. I love that you have good friends. I love that you recovered it. I love your message. Well done Moog and friends!
I did the same thing to myself with a WR450 down a hill. All I got for help after I walked out was my wife and father in law. It's good to see friends showing up with a smile and willing to work.
A "friend" tried borrowing a 650 dirtbike, i had one less friend after that. You are more forgiving than myself.
I feel for you Moog ive been in kinda the same situation but i was the one riding , i was in the Ourimbah state forest on the central coast , i crashed my KLX 250 down a small cliff face , i couldnt retrieve the bike as i was by myself (big mistake) i tried for about 3 hours until i gave up , i had no water left no food my phone went flat , i ended up having to walk about 4 hours home , i was lucky enough to get some mates together and went back in a 4x4 and retrieved my bike that night , i have not gone riding in the bush by myself since that day nearly 2 years ago
I had a simular experience riding snowmobiles.
Haha I've had a similar experience in ourimbah state forest. If i ever want a riding buddy hit me up!! :)
You don’t realise how far a bike takes ya into the bush in 10 minutes until you’ve gotta walk back
You should never ride alone in the wild. Doesnt mather what you are driving. Its always a bad idea.
Pussy
I always see the mountain bike hanging in the back of the shop. I would love to see some videos of you guys biking. I've had the car/mountain bike bug for a while now. Even bought one of those suction mounts so I can use my Genesis coupe to transport my bike.
You guys rock!!
I want to see a video of them. Can't quite make out what they are
@@app6072 right?
Moog, I hikes that track last year and found your missing mirror off the supercub, that made me search for 'find motorbike in the blue mountains' that led me here. That led me to mighty car mods and im now a subscriber. Love your work :-) and now I have your mirror!
Didn't expect to cry at a MCM episode but Moog talking about how you can ask for help is important and took me a long time to learn.
From all of the stories I have heard I can't believe he rode that bike into the Blue Mountains!
he didn't, did he?
@@TheDide not Moog no. His mate sure did
I was thinking the very same mate, and when i saw where it was, i couldn't help thinking what kind of busted tool rides a bike like that to where he left it...
@@edwardmolloy7548 right
If you read between the lines, someone stole the bike and it ended up there, not sure if it was stolen from moog or from a friend of his. hence the police involvement.
I noticed your voice breaking up somewhat when you where talking about mental health. What ever it was, I hope whomever it was, got help, in time.
@@Garden-Tech 🤏✊👉🚵♂️
We were at the very same location today - we walked from North Katoomba to Wentworth Falls via this track which is known as Bruce's Walk, built in the early 1930's. Firstly, on the side of Wentworth Creek where your bike was found, just near where it was laying, is a small cave with a bench seat. Your left mirror is in this cave. We were looking at the mirror today and was wondering how it got down there. Now we know. Secondly, if you had stayed on that same side of the creek where you found the bike, you could have just ridden back up the track quite easily - as the track on that side is much easier and has several switch-backs that would have made it easier to ride back up. The track then connects with Mount Hay Road which pops out at Leura. But at least you got the bike back. Well done.
Great positive message at the end, no matter what stage of life you are in, you will need help. Do not be too proud to ask for help, you will be surprised how many people are willing to help you.
"This video is unavailable on this device." What?
Same
Try again now, the same thing happened to me the other day when it came out
"Australia man rescues cub from bush."
Issac is a great guy. Always willing to help and good at everything We all need more friends like Issac
I'm impressed your mate got it so far into that trail. Glad it was still there and hadn't been nicked.
"This video is unavailable on this device.

It'd be nice if I could watch this on my desktop lol
EDIT! - It works now.
Original message- I'd love to be able to watch this video, but youtube is refusing to let me. on PC it just shows a black box, and on mobile it says "This video is unavailable on this device"
Absolute wicked video. The effort put in to retrieve your bike by everyone was great. And then to the reachout part at the end... perfect
Much respect for your final comments. You're an awesome individual.
Great video. I hope there will be a full rebuild video on this 😁
anyone else not able to watch? getting error hat says this video is not available on this device, on my comp. and phone....
Hey Moog I hope the charity use this video because it is a perfect metaphor for the steep upward struggle people face when dealing with mental health issues, that you can climb out of the hole with help and that there are friends and strangers there that care and will help if you ask!
I love the spirit shown by everyone in the fight to recover that little old bike. There's a message in this for all of us. I lost my mother earlier this year and at times, it feels so hard just to put one foot in front of the other. But the more you stay positive and just get on with life, with the support of good people around you, you will get through even the darkest of times. Great content for a great cause Moog. Love your tenacity. Well done mate!
Haha the Aussie out back I love the blue mountains hello moog and Marty
"This video is unavailable on this device." ???
I'm getting the same message on every device, but any other video will play...

Same here. :-(
i just get a black screen...

One of the better ones, so far.
I love your support to Reachout. It´s such an important effort.
Good job!
A true man never leaves his trusty Honda Behind. Car or bike, as long as it's relatively straight it'll live on :P
"a friend"
... yeah right 🤣
Howcome i cant view the video on anything? Just straight up black screen on pc with no explanation and a "this video is unavailable on this device" message on my phone...
My wife and I visted the Blue Mountains last year around July. Absolutely beautiful! :-)
You’re an awesome dude! Love MCM and always look forward to new content from you. You’re positivity is infectious. Keep it coming. Thanks.
Last time I was this quick she said it was normal and it happens to everyone
The video isnt playing for me? Anyone else get this?
Dude i heard that voice break. If you started crying I would've lost it! Keep after it brother!
Just watched this video from the link posted from you video fixing the red posty bike.
Love these kind of videos. Grats on getting that beast out.
“This video is no longer available on this device” it says that no matter what device I’m using.
I can Not watch this Video. Ist keeps refreshing on pc and on my iPad ist says „this Video is unavailable on this device“.
Well Done Blair. Get that Honda home, cleaned up and safe. What a great clip.
Mad props to the volunteers.
I can't play this video on any format in the UK. Is there a reason for that?
Same here in US
Ross is a legend 🤘
Love all the guys that came to help. They seem so nice!!
Bush Adventure Therapy sounds like a fantastic job
Everything I try to watch this on, phone, firestick, xbox, it says "this video is unavailable on this device" can anyone tell me why?
Too hardcore
You found a Nugget in the Creek 👍🏻
classic !
What a great detour from y'all's normal programming. Loved the inspirational bit at the end. We need to see more of that in the world. Kudos Moog!
There is something very special about when you are stuck and you think there is no way out and you have the courage to reach out and some one help's it's amazing what you can achieve
If you are stuck reach out
It will get better !
Vid doesn't load on any of my devices for some reason. All other mcm2 vids do
I think this is the first time I’m this early to a mcm vid. In like 10 years 😂.
Love your work Moog, a great way to relate a mediocre task back to the importance of mental health ❤️
Absolutely loved this episode! I really like the content which shows day to day adventures, connections and friendships that Moog and Marty make.
When your mates watch too much 4wdaction and decide to take a 1wd motorcycle on some crazy trails
Breaking News! Moog has written off Marty to Toyota. Moogs new Friend for adventures: Isaac.
I watch TH-cam on Roku and so it is a pain to comment. But I went to trouble because I wanted to tell you how much I love it when you do videos IN Australia. This will be one of my favorites.
After recently being airlifted to hospital from an accident on my wr450 this hits home. Hope your buddy who crashed was ok. He seemed to be walking fine buthope he is well. Thanks for the video awesome storytelling!
Thank you moog. You guys literally save lifes.
Ask me how i know. Because I am still here and alive. Across the world in america , you guys feel like my best friends. On my shitty days ill re watch some old videos just to smile. Trd.lazar
Can't watch this on my device?? Anyone else??
Same
Me either, on any device. WTF?
Same
Yep, US viewer here, is it for AUS only?
Well done…, Flipping well done!!! I live back in Belfast , But used still live in Castle Hill, Sydney, and would travel frequently to the Blue Mountains by either road cycling up there, Or by mountain biking, or by four wheeling. I always travelled with my local friends, he knew the area well, and it is a place that should never be underestimated. You have done well
