Thank you for the beautiful video. We should all celebrate the harmless enjoyment of life more often.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, he shot himself in the foot lol 😂
dude, you're actually really funny, your references to 70's Hong Kong kung-fu movies, your scenario, no thrills low budget full of ideas videos are really cool. You made me laugh in the first minute of it, and actually clapped my hands saying; haha, that was funny...
I'm glad you enjoyed it.🙂
You are a true motorcyclist, real spirit of adventure.
Thanks.
I just love this video... Your sense of humour and the camera angles as well..
Those Harley riders had given a glance of admiration and amusement for you and the Monkey..
Just enjoyed it... Keep going 💪💪💪 😄😄.
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Can't wait to buy my Monkey this summer, had a 2014 Grom in 2014 when they came out. Sold it to buy a 2017 FZ09, big mistake. The FZ was fast, big, fun but too much bike for my needs. Missed my Grom too much, sold the FZ09 to buy a 2019 CB300R, aka the Big Grom. Loved it, did everything right but I crashed into a deer going 90kmh. The CB didn't survive 😢
After one year without riding I'm ready to ride again, all healed up, so it's Monkey time 😊
Love watching your videos, they are very well made. Beautiful Monkey, good choice in mods 👍
Thanks. Winter is the best time to buy because dealers are desperate. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video. Commentary was funny and thoughtful. Really appreciated the part at 13:18. Subscribed. Hope to see more from you soon.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have another video coming soon. It’s all edited. I just include the commentary.
As a Monkeybiker myself I realy enjoyed your adventure to Sturgis 👍🙈😎 great editing sir, you have my subscription 👌 I have lots of adventures on my Monkey here in the UK 🇬🇧 PS stock seat always 😅😂👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for subscribing.
Hilarious intro and editing! Really enjoyed the video mate
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Came here for the monkey. Stayed for the unexpected life lessons. Kudos 👍🏽
lol…. Well, I can only talk so much about Monkeys…
You should ride a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic just to try it out. They have fairly big tires and enough power for the highway
Hilarious video, thanks! I also want a Monkey now!! 😂
Thanks. You owe it to yourself, because you deserve it.
@@monkeyfever and so I pulled the trigger! The 2022 version in the garage in two week time. Thanks for the inspiration 👌🏻
@@wltrlg you won’t regret it. Don’t be surprised if random strangers strike up conversations about your monkey
Nice! I had a Grom, then I sold it.
And now you want it back 😭
Thoroughly enjoyed your ride along. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
Greetings from this side of the Atlantic Ocean!😃 The dramatic event that ocurred, when he was on his way to work, was awesome! Even way better than the whole last Star Wars triology with Rey!💯🤣
I could easily imagine it being narrated by David Attenborough, like a british voice describing a mating ritual in a episode of National Geographic.😂
"The human species is a curious one... Often the male ask some kind of permission to the female, less the male doesn't mind peeling his banana on his own later at night... So, this grumpy male, was on his way to work... But, was unfortunate to step on a banana peel, left on the ground by some other primate that populate the area...
And after crashing its body against the coconut tree nearby, on his way to ground, he was hit&encapsulated by a falling coconut, which made him groggy... Like a drunk kung fu motorcyclist at Sturgis during the Wet T-Shirt Contest... Until he finally stumbled and falls on a working 2 wheel monkey raft and he's taken away by the river of tarmac, very far, far away from that place..."
😅
Wow! I've never seen such a seat! That seat looks really great, specially if you're looking to photograph your bike, but the original is way better to ride a long trip.🍑❤🩹
Beautiful and interesting scenarios on your way to Sturgis! Nice choice of melodies as well.
And the roads look in good shape... It makes wanna ride on it.
Was it boring, taking in account the fact that Honda Monkey has very low maximum speed, and the jurney made on very long straight roads?
I love H.D. bikes but i have the same opinion about it: overrated and overpriced, indeed.
And they overconsume too much fuel too.
«The Honda Fury resembles a Praying Mantis!»
- Hilarious analogy!!!🤣I love that bike! Not the insect in matter.😅
The Honda VTX is impressive! Great choice!
Have a great week, ride safe, and watch good movies!🏍💨✌😎
(PS: you forgot to turn On the automatic Subtitles.😉)
So loved this video
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I think the perfect bike for you is the Honda CL500. It’s a compromise between the Monkey and a larger bike. There are also a ton of aftermarket parts since it’s a rebel!
But I don’t think there’s any fat wheels available for it
Very entertaining dude..
Well, 1# you found out the bigger original seat, although not as "Cool looking" as the little thin silly seat. Would have made this trip a lot more live able. I made the almost same exact trip from MN in a Jeep Grand Cherokee last fall, and my butt never got sore!
Love the shots your 360 took!..
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
great video..
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
great editing and humor !
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Cool adventures man. I’m jealous. I want a monkey and do that lol
They’re not too expensive. You should get one. You deserve it because you owe it to yourself. :)
I will. Winter’s coming fast but ill make sure to get one before next spring. Thanks for sharing your trips! Subscribed
What an adventure. I bet you wished you had put the stock seat back on for that ride. You're inspiring me to try a longer road trip. I have a 2019 Monkey and love it. After riding the Monkey for three years, I thought bigger would be better as well and purchased a KTM 390 Adventure. I'm glad I kept the Monkey because I don't like the KTM after all. I would like to test ride the new Honda SCL500 and the new Triumph 400's that are coming out. I sat on the SCL at my local dealership and it kind of felt like a larger Monkey, so I'm anxious to give it a go. Looking forward to your future videos.
Yeah, I did regret not putting the OEM seat back on. You definitely should go an adventure. You owe it to yourself because you deserve it. Thanks for watching :)
Have you looked at the Honda SCL500?@@monkeyfever
Subscribed, brilliant!!👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for subscribing. :)
The mount Rushmore one is great, looking forward to the Sturgis vid. I'm in the UK and own a Ducati 900ss ie and a Ducati 996,hoping to get a Monkey at the end of the year.@@monkeyfever 👍
@@mojin699 you definitely should. You’ll be smiling ear to ear!
I have friends in Italy that i rode down on my 900ie in 2015 and i want to do the trip down there again on a monkey, it's all about the journey. I will ride through France then over the Alps into Italy, i know the route, anyway keep up the fantastic vids and god bless you and your family and friends!!@@monkeyfever
Like your vid I loved my Grom. Get a mid sized bike. 500-700cc Or good too. VTX are good. Heavy but good.
I want something with fat wheels, and to my knowledge, the VTX is the only Honda with that option. I lean towards Honda because I’ve always had good experience with their cars.
New sub here. Thanks josh for the info u put in your vids
You’re welcome. Thanks for the sub :)
Great content bro. U make me feel that monkey fever. I want one. Best price new for 2023 is 4599 here in Ireland. Probably need to lower the seat height. Could I just lower the back shocks and leave the front forks alone as it looks to complicated for a newbie like me.
I’m 5 foot 2 inches (157.48cm), and I was able to flat foot with just the Kitaco seat. The Racingbros suspension lowers it 2 inches (5.08cm).
Monkey ❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Brilliant
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it
i hear ya. i just finished a 1000 mile ride on my csc rx250 cyclone.just shows you can enjoy just riding
It can be life changing
So much craftsmanship in your story telling!
You were intrepid!
The whole Black Hills are a hoot, yes?
I’m in MSP too - Trail 125
@@NitwitMN thanks. It was really different from my normal routine
If you're going to ride 700 miles on a 125 Honda, make it a Monkey. Great video
Thanks. It’s about the smiles per hour. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
1st class Video with 1st class Scenery. Suppose the Scenery is on Parr with over the pond here in "Bonnie Scotland" but without as much rain lol.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
So wehen it comes to highways with 65+ mph what do u do? Do you ever ride the shoulder or just ignore everybod? Im curious kus i wanna try it on my spade 150
I just ignore everyone
If you like Hondas, try the rebel 1100. Great bikes.
I might have to try it one day. But when I have enough room, I am leaning towards a VTX 1800, because it’s a toy that I can play with. It’s the only Honda with an aftermarket fat wheels option
@@monkeyfever good luck with the search! If you can only have one bike (like most of us), you want to get something you love to ride and can make your own.
Hi man. Great video. I found it because Im buying a stock monkey bike and going camping on it straight away.
Im also going to put my insta360 on mine. How far away is the camera from you? It looks pretty cool
Hi. My camera is about 2’ to 2.5’ away. Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
No way you're from Minnesota too! HAHA
Join the MN Honda Monkey Enthusiasts Facebook group I started recently
Awesome, I'm thinking about buying a monkey, it's a toss between a monkey or Honda Super cub, doesn't seem like you can get as much gear on a monkey than on a cub??not sure, new subscriber n great video btw.
I believe the Super Cub is a 4 speed automatic. The Monkey is a 5 speed manual. Thanks for the kind words and the sub. I’m glad you enjoyed. Hopefully it made your day a little bit brighter.
Cheers mate I appreciate the reply. Watching from a very wet n windy Ireland 💪 👍 @@monkeyfever
I accidently went to Sturgis sweetie!. LOL
lol
Hello are you happy with the Monkey ? No problems mechanical ? Thank you 😉🇧🇪
I’m very happy with my Honda Monkey. I have not had any mechanical issues.
@@monkeyfever ok Thank you very Much .have à Nice day 😉🇧🇪
@@mxseba7232 you’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
You rode that thing on the hwy? Wtf?
Sure did. I’m crazy. I know lol
Would never go where there are that many people, just call me antisocial. Nice trip for you thou.
Most of the folks just mind their own business, and when they approach me, it’s usually to compliment my Monkey. Anyways, I did it for the Monkey enthusiasts :)
On the Monkey I’m sure you’re able to enjoy the scenery a lot more instead of having a big fairing blocking half your view!
The view is very nice
But I also recently got a VTX1800 and love it. Has a clear “road king” type windshield so I can still have a wide field of view

@@Sinatra192 you should get an Insta360 X3 camera and do some videos. I really want to see the VTX on the road rolling
@@monkeyfever I do have a GoPro max which is their 360 camera. Kinda wish I got the Insta because the GoPro uploading app is a pain in the ass
PS, my other Bike is an Indian Vintage dark horse 116 👍😎🙈
