- Ike bought six vintage mini bikes! Two Honda Z50Rs, one hardtail Honda Z50 (an early model, around 1970-1971), one Scat Cat mini bike, and two unknown vintage mini bikes- one chopper, and one bobber. All six of these mini bikes (plus other parts) cost us $1,000. Not a bad deal! Of course all of these old mini motos need work. In today's episode, we work on getting the two Honda Z50Rs running, and we take one of them for a lap around the CarsandCameras Grand Prix!
Thanks for Watching!

That austin powers reference just cracked me tf up, that was so perfectly in sync and well placed :D
Bahzinga
Dude these 30 minute plus long videos are awesome😂
Yes. Keep them coming
Yes they put more details
I love em too!
Sometimes they just seem slow though
The red Honda’s name gotta be hondifin😂
Are we all gonna just ignore how magnificent ike's retirement beard is looking? Love the content guys, keep it up. Lets see some more trophy truck action.
I wouldn't be surprised if he returns to clean shaven as soon as it gets warm. I like the short beard look.
hell ya! Think I saw a baby bird poke its head out of that mop.
I still think they should rename the channel 'ikes and beards'...
I agree liked where the trophy mini truck was going bet it is kinda hard to support that with out that many sponsors for that build though especially after he ran into a tree (LOL )
👑
The switch being backwards is a “security” feature 😂😂
I'd say more like an alarm system lol. I have a motorized bicycle and it doesn't have the bicycle chain hooked up and the pedals just spin. A kid tried to steal it one day and couldn't figure out how to get it to move because I had the clutch engaged and he was just sitting on it spinning the pedals for all he was worth lol 🤣
@@newsnowpermianbasin8977 thats real funny
Well we know the next few months will be mini bikes rebuild content, nice. I live in a small farm community and our honda shop closed about 5 yrs ago and last week I went looking at the old building to buy as a shop and the whole place is still full of new parts and used dirt and street bikes. It's like they just closed one night and never came back. Hoping my bank loan comes though then open as a small engine/cycle repair shop.
To me that sounds like a blessing in disguise
Any updates?
@@Lukeluzier86 Yeah the place was emptied out the next time I looked and the building was sold. Never got my bank loan.
@@SadPuppySoup damn I hope you find something like that again
Oh I absolutely love the whole thing Isaac has goin with his beard.
Gotta let it hang sometimes
The one with the spoked wheels is a bird manufacturing “thunderbird”. Build break repeat built a cafe racer out of one.
It looks like a modified Rupp bike.
Rupp made about three different models I think, One of which had the spoke wheels.
@@wadewehunt502 Pretty sure it's a Thunderbird, looks just like the one I have. Hang a Hemi 212, add a smaller sprocket and it is one scary ride, nothing but a scrub brake to slow you down.
It is a Phoenix thunderbird
All these big guys started brainstorming on the "throne"
Day 14 of seeing if the mower will be revived
Ike's looking more and more like an instagram boutique leather crafter every video 😆👌
Love the longer vids makes for good watching at night when I come in on the tv just like a show actually better than them junk tv shows
You guys keep motivating me fixing up my bike. Thank you!
That exhaust system your cousin Cletus put on that Honda is a real masterpiece.
In all my years I have NEVER seen anyoene successfully do a vertical 180!!! Kudos Ike!!!
damn ikes beard is growing in nicely
When you have a stripped bolt hole sometimes you can wrap cooper wire around the bolt and the cooper wire will allow the bolt to grab the threads just a temporary fix but in a pinch it'll last a while.
Nice Skunk Stripe.
Love Ikes narration.
Hey Fellers - Always wanted to ask, you ever see any Squatch in your neck of the woods? Waitin to see one peekin from around a tree when you are doing your time trials!!
Sasquatch is normally seen in the Northwest. John and Ike are in the South. I live in Washington State there are tourist attractions for them here.
Every once in a while you'll see one in an ad break claiming to be a doctor and selling soap.
@@harryrenner4016 They are all across the united states and in many counties, Not just the NW. I think in NC the locals call them "Walkers".
@@PossumKing Skin Walkers are a different kind of scary beast.
17:40 Nice aftermarket upgrade exhaust! That must add at least 50 hp.
Love the vintage mini bike videos really cool to see
The blue bike with fenders and missing motor is called a Grand Prix by Deckson. Aussie-commissioned, built in Taiwan. Originally came with a 3-3.5 Tecumseh engine as far as I know. I've just restored a grand prix with a Tecumseh H35 and 15 tooth max torque clutch. Runs up to mid-30s on a little small block, the entire bike is extremely lightweight with dual suspension and folds completely flat including handlebars for backseat storage, I bet fully folded the bike could fit in a Miata trunk... I recommend building a new seat bracket, the stock ones seem to be made of tin-foil
I wanna see a video on the Subaru Yerf Dog! Rebuild that engine!!😃
In a pinch if you have a wallowed hole you can wrap the stud with fine copper wire , or sometimes just put stands down in the hole and get it to grab .
I learned it from AvE and used it on multiple occasions with a motorized bicycle .
You guys are awesome for not making us wait for 2 videos
You can tell IIke is. Happy with his new 50/125.
I love the handle bars on the blue frame.
Water always sit on the bottom when it's with gasoline. it still has a vacuum leak, after Ike pulled the choke on partially it started to run better a for sure sign. that exhaust LOL!!!! that mud is slicker than snot. Ike's beard is getting sort of lengthy. when mine gets that lengthy it starts driving me crazy. and it's got to come off.
I had a Scattcat AYT660 as a kid. That one is a 1976 model. The best motor to put on it is a Briggs and Stratton 5hp edger motor with a centrifugal clutch. You cannot put a foot starter on it. It will not clear the frame. You're going to need to use a pull starter like the one that comes with the Briggs and Stratton.
It would be cool to see one of these with a 2 stroke
Can you try to find a 1983/1984 Honda fourtrax I would love it if you could
One
ike got that magic touch to find awesome stuff
SSScat is definitely the gem in there...any artic cat minibike is hard to come by. Good luck finding the missing parts. I have a ramrod and SSScat myself
That Honda mini-bike ike is riding reminds me of the old Honda " q 50 ", which I'm surprised they haven't run across one of them, they were very popular in the 70's with the younger ones 🤔, big brother would get the SL 125, or the very popular SL 70, then Jr. High school brother would get the honda trail 70..... but, all in all everybody was riding something!!!!!, we had a cool motorcycle riding club.....the developer was very happy because we were not hell raising on the freshly sodden golf course! ( as far as they knew)....... , anyway, watching these episodes takes me back to a simpler time, before all the; B.S that we all have to deal with!!!!!, ..well, have a nice day 😊
Ike, I've done a 180 with my mini bike going way to fast on wet grass. It will get your attention for sure. It's cool you got that on camera.
You should hang the time slip sheet metal on the wall so we can see it better and you don't have to bend over to add or change time slips. Keep up the great builds, always fun to watch.
Yall have built everything BUT A MUDD RIG yall should build a Mudd mower
they really should
You two jokers are living the dream I love your videos keep them coming guys
Heli-coil style thread repair kits are awesome. I just keep a couple of the popular sizes on hand.
Nice info. Good to know that I can use cereal boxes as Carburetor Gaskets.
I use them for a cars water pump and thermostat also
That is amazing. Here in Houston if you get lucky... a striped down frame will run $400.00. Supply and demand I guess. I need to look way outside of town to maybe find a deal. Keep up your good work...It'll be fine! Rusty
Sometimes I don’t like to watch them because I get jealous of their finds😂
That happens to me too. Lol
Those vintage wheels are cool as hell looking
Please stretch one of the mini bikes. Been waiting to see you guys do one.. just saying, drag style stretched old school mini bike would be bad assss!
Here's an idea, how about making those two Z50's into twins? identical bikes?
And maybe a cool idea would be to make mini bike with side car?! would be so funny seeing you both doing a hot lap in one!
I have a scat cat mini bike , came with a 3hp briggs but was modified to fit a 212 predator . Funnest mini bike I've ever road.
Cereal boxes work really well i always used them to make stator cover and clutch cover gaskets for my sport bike
Can’t wait to see all the great videos coming
Ike, when you are running a carb that is too small, you draw more vacuum. That causes the engine to run rich. A bigger jet only makes the problem worse. A bigger fuel jet doesn’t allow more air to the engine, it just gives a choked down engine way too much fuel.
Ike is starting to look like Robin Williams on Jumanji🤣
Issac: "OHHOHHH!"
John: "Alright, internet nature people, what animal made this mark?"
🤣🤣🤣
Would REALLY enjoy one of them built as budget and easy as possible... something we can learn from and do over a weekend... do one with new parts and another with used/ found parts... no welding.
The spokes one awesome video guys keep it up love it
Isaac, John, make a map of the areas where the mud is worst. Those are the places where the water isn't running off well. Use the tractor and a little "engineering" to improve the drainage in those areas before next fall. That is the pest answer for that problem. From the videos, it looks like there are some lower places you should be able to arrange for the water to flow to and then drain of rather than sit in puddles in your track. FR
I couldn't help but notice yall had batteries sitting on the concrete floor. They'll keep a charge a lot better if stored a few inches off the floor on an insulated material. Great stuff guys! can't wait to see what the next epic build will be.
You guys should take one of your minibikes, and make a mini 3 wheeler with suspension, front and back. Use those forks, with the shocks, from Go Power Sports. Maybe an extended swing arm wide axle.
That exhaust mod is the best I saw in some time XD
Thanks for saving them old mini bikes👍😎
The beard is back in full swing there for Issac😂
Hot lap or muddy lap. Either is fine. Muddy laps are fun, because I enjoy seeing you guys get all muddy. Lol!
Okay come on 😂 where do you guys find these!
On the capper!!! 😂😂
In the throne room
Probably from the same place you're watching this video from.
@@Captain_Yodelstein Parents basement? 😂
Guys who know how to find these deals, don't tell you guys that don't! 🤣
I'm here for go karts and custom builds but you're turning me into a mini bike fan, might have to build/mod one.
I've really been enjoying the content lately. Thanks guys
i wish i had a friend as good as you guys.
I actually seen the one with the exhaust pipe on face book but I never thought @Cars and cameras would have bought it
Ike's beard is getting epic.
I’m all about that z50r get some wheels on it and have fun! Meanwhile I have a 1980 atc 110 for a project. I pulled it off a dump trailer before it was gave back to Mother Earth.
coco pops boxes work well as gaskets,
also add metho to your water logged fuel tanks
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your guys content. Discovered your Channel about a year ago and I love watching all of the crazy builds
That exhaust, you have the "Wide Trail Edition". Nice save on the 180!
My ex had that too.
Nice find Ike 6 mini bikes and so far 2 runners .im dying to see the one that looks like a chopper(the blue one) fixed up and running ..all the best from Scotland.
The five spoke bike looks sweet! Get it running next
And theres John saying DUDE over and over again. lol
That z50 that runs those 125 that is in it are fun as heck
I really want an old school go kart for my kids I can’t find anything near me you have anything laying around?
That 180 was awesome! Nice find with those new projects. 😃👍
ok, the last one... I dont remember the brand but it was a 1984 maybe 83 and came with 3hp tecumsa.. or brigs.. I had one back then and replaced the engine with a 4hp brigs.. loved that bike..Rode it for years as akid.. Im old now..
I always click the like button before I even watch their videos because I already know its going to be a good!😂🙏🏽
I have that same carb on one of my atvs and when I took it apart and saw that choke I was kind of confused. Rebuilding it now so hopefully I can go rip soon.
i think the five spoke one is allmost the best looking one!
The one with holes in the wheels you can I’m pretty sure you can buy them at Gault Powersports
I had one exactly like the rusty one at 6:55, same condition and foolishly got rid of it before trying to do something with it years ago. Good luck with this collection, plenty to work with there!
Been saving this video for bed time
You really hit a honey hole. Those bikes are awesome.
Hey guys great score with those bikes, and I definitely agree with hooking up the five spoke' I also like the rake on that bike, and it looks like it could Shred the course better than some of the others.👍🤙👋🤙👋✌🍻
The throne room is the best place to do work. I get all my best ideas there lol
The Z50 with the side exhaust would be a great start for the makings of a "Sidehack" monkey bike!
Digging the longer videos 👍 Keep up the awesome content!
I just picked up the one with 5spoke wheels. I need to work on it, so that would be a great one (it has a Tecumseh)
John and Ike this Old Man loving your videos. 😎💝💝
Another old man that loves watching these guys. Great content 👍
@@JamesCouch777 John's Dad told me about their channel during a doctor appointment. I was hooked when I watched the first video. Love it. 🛵💝💝
@@JohnHill-jm7tm I found them when they built the Honda Davidson ☺️. I didn't watch much of their go-kart videos at first but now I'm hooked and have enjoyed being able to go back and catch up. They've come a long way.
Hey Ike, cheer up you did beat the tractor.
Love issacs middle part 😂
Man the rusty one with nothing is so sick I want it ! Love the handle bars!
Buy a bulk sheet of fuel rated gasket material pretty cheap and you've always got gaskets. Some good hammer type hole punches are nice but not needed
The orange bike carb is a pz22. Love them put them on all my Chinese ATVs 50-125cc. It's the pz19 you don't want, the round bowl one's
Wow old orange has old school bicycle knee saver bars.
The sunglasses though John 🤣
2:23 That the type of bike I had a s a kid. Mine was white with red strips and had a number plaque on the front. After trying to research it I believe it was called a "thunderbird" by Bird Engineering.
I would be interested in seeing y'all go with 72v3kw on that blue bonanza. Bring us in to the new with an old-school frame.
"One size" and Ike is like a kid in a candy store.
God these cold opens are getting better and better😂
