It’s a shame that you had to roar past all of that magnificent scenery and not take it all in. Best wishes for a UK Cub owner, and yes it’s all your fault !!
Awesome video! I’m really enjoying this, thank you for all the work. I bet that was a great tasting meal & beer. You deserved it. You have a great temperament. Funny line about the old timer saying your f’ing stupid for going down that road, too funny. 🤣
Hey bro 😊 ...you were a big influence on my purchase of a 2019 supercub. I bought it from a person on FB market place for 3500.00 , it only had 220 miles on it. Greetings from Illinois. Awesome videos.
Howdy, Darren! Thanks for the feedback, and congrats on your new Super Cub... that's a steal for $3500! The anniversary colors on the 2019 are the best, IMHO. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Grazie per la visione! È stato un episodio molto lungo, ma non volevo tagliare troppo la corsa. Le pendenze della strada e i panorami sulle montagne sono davvero spettacolari! 😉👍 --QM
now at 22 mins - until you get off the bike didnt notice the gravel just happened - the road just ran out but yeah agree about the off road - they need telling its SCOOTERS not MOTOCROSSERS
I love the new telemetry overlay that you put on the videos but that elevation graph on the bottom right always throws me off🤣. Like when i see theres a spike on the elevation on that graph im just thinking "oh no its gonna be an uphill battle" but then i read the numbers and its only a 30ft climb😭
Agreed! That scale is auto-ranging, so a small change can look huge if the overall deltas aren't large amounts. I can probably configure manual ranges for it, but I'd need to scrub through the entire clip looking the the min/max values and set arbitrary stops. That would be really painful! 😉👍 --QM
Those Honda Super Cubs are like Timex watches, they take a dickin and keep on licking…. No take a liking and keep on ticking, yea that’s it…. Amazing bikes for sure, my hat off to you for the cannon ball run. -Brad
I took a couple of trips on a 550cc Suzuki and one was from bluffton ,Ohio to Daytona Beach FL. Went 550 mi. First day the second day went 800 miles I set every were you could set on a bike,boy was my butt sore half the time I was riding in the rain, what a trip,ran in to a young guy going out to California and wanted to know if I would tag along I said no thanks and stayed on my route .it would've been great if I would've took 4 or 5 days to take the trip.
Very cool, my stomping grounds. Glad you go to experience switchbacks coming down 191 from Flaming Gorge, always a hoot. I've done that dirt section on my Trail 125 and it was rough even on it, I can imagine how it felt on the Cubs, I agree the footage doesn't do it any justice. I've done 9 Mile as well, your footage does capture what a fun road that is. Those concrete dips can and do literally fill with water, you mention it and you are right, that is not a canyon to be in when it decides to dump. I believe when you get to CA you go through two places I lived before moving here, Mineral and Red Bluff. Haven't got that far yet, but looking forward to it. Enjoying the hell out of this and wish I could have tagged along, what a cool adventure!
Yep, I just posted the video this morning with the long ride on CA-36 West thru Mineral and Red Bluff toward Fortuna. That's a fantastic highway! 😉👍 --QM
Nice to see you out there. I'd love to take on those dirt roads on my Wave :) Taller tyres certainly make a huge difference, especially if you let them down a bit. With some modifications to the fender I managed to just fit 3.00-17 front and rear. On the scooter comparison. The 17" wheels certainly make a huge difference compared to true scooters. My partners Grom feels shocking on gravel roads. I'm not sure about the suspension you have. On my Wave I managed to get some good improvements for that sort of environment with YSS rear shocks and a YSS fork kit. However, I needed to drill out ports and run 10W instead of the recommended 20W oil. For the rear I had to get a suspension specialist to replace all the fluid with 3W oil as the YSS guys made everything way to stiff. Still no comparison to a true dual sport but certainly a lot better.
We figured out what that plant was after we finally arrived. It was a coal mine (Skyline Mines), and the conveyor system led back to the processing center. Unfortunately, we didn't see it in operation... that would have been cool. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
This looks like home. I live in Salt Lake and the arid terrain looks very familiar. View of 38:46 looks like area around Deschene. I have ridden that a few times. It is gorgeous country. I think you are northbound between Helper and Deschene, UT. Really have to watch for cattle as is open range. I had you going N-S, you were going opposite to Price. Route 6 west.
I think that is Strawberry reservoir driving past.and you are headed to I-15. Coal is what was mined. Down below in Orem was the Geneva steel plant for WW2. Ore would come in by rail and steel ingot and plate would leave. Minerals for all the products plus coal to make coak for the processing was made right there in a single line system. Yah, that section of road from the coal mill is a complete illusion. Your downhill section is now 3 & 4 lane, This is the Wasach range which form the east side of the upcoming valley & the Occhure mountains on the west. I know this road well.
enjoying your trip possibly more than your butt was, I have my new 2022 cub and have packed a kit for a trip for the umpteenth time and have it down to 21kgs less spare fuel and water and all of that is on the rear rack the fuel and water will be in the front I do have the tunnel rack for the fuel and two molle pouches to carry the water and snacks. I thought I could do without the side stand but with the front rack fitted I have problems lifting my leg ( arthritis in hips is a real pain ) over so gave up and ordered one, I watched your vlog on fitting it so I have the tools ready.
I am led to believe the side stand kit that includes the complete footpeg assembly will not fit 22 model as fixing points different. I have 22 model and asked seller first. I believe the engine cases are different to 2018 - 2020 cubs.
I heat my house with coal, really old school. It's really hard to start a coal fire, takes a really good hot wood fire to get the coal going. However I have friends in Pennsylvania and if I recall they have had some underground fires and they just go on forever. Once coal is burning, as long as there is there is more coal next to it I'd imagine it's hard to put out.
It’s not like the Cubs come with a guard underneath the bike to protect like the motor and stuff the trail does but yeah, the cub not meant for this stuff
Hey Quasi, I've been binge watching your videos for the last week or so and have finally got caught up. I've been enjoying the hell out of your videos. I've done a couple of cross country rides on a BMW and can't imagine how badly my butt and shoulders would feel doing the same ride at about half the speed. My hat's off to you and the rest of the scooter cannonballers. I've got a question: I've been scratching my head about something on the portion of your videos that show the telemetry data. What is the data just to the left of the speedometer that shows something in degrees?
Thanks for the feedback and support! That mystery gauge is the lean angle sensor data from the GoPro Hero7 camera. It's not 100% accurate because the camera or my helmet might not be perfectly level all of the time. I'm using a third-party application called GoPro Telemetry Extractor to display the gauge overlays, and that gets it's data from the GoPro video also and my Garmin Zumo GPX files. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Awesome videos. I have been watching while I work at my home office. The cannonball is on my bucket list. I ride an ADV 150 - QUESTION - How do you get all of the on screen details like the speed and elevation, etc..What software is that? Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback! The telemetry data for the HUD is recorded by my GoPro camera and my Garmin Zumo GPS (when I'm riding with it). I use a third-party program called Telemetry Extractor ( goprotelemetryextractor.com/ ) to combine the GPS data to generate the gauge overlays. Everything is stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
now its quasi f bomb - while its lovely the transport needs to be specific for that - when you got to the start of this did you have the option of detour to stay on pavement or was it gravel or nothing? it seemed to happen quite a lot even from the first video - i wouldnt be crying but i would def not be happy when the days are long cos thats just not funny when it can break you and your machine - endurance is ok when you know what youre gonna get when its unexpected then that blows
Concordato! Queste aree sono molto remote e aspre. Non riesco a immaginare di cavalcare queste montagne a cavallo... sarebbe una vera prova di resistenza! 🤣👍 --QM
Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of camaraderie between the riders on the road? Maybe it was out of camera view but I noticed when the two scooters went sailing by there was no acknowledgement from a wave or a helmet nod.
The pace was fast and furious for 10 days, and we were all pretty road weary after the second day. This was technically a "race", so we were competing and not on a relaxed ride. We generally had plenty of camaraderie and time to catch up at the end of the ride each day. I didn't record several events where we stopped to check on other riders that had stopped on the side of the road. Usually those were navigation checks or refuels, so we wouldn't stop for them. Occasionally, when it looked like someone had a mechanical issue, then we would stop if they didn't have anyone else around them already. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Hey Quasi have a question still debating on trail 125 or the super Cub I love them both I like the trail 125 because of the accessories and like the super Cub top end.
Howdy! That's a common dilemma and a popular question that I receive regarding the two Cubs. These bikes are similar and share common parts, but their intended uses differ. The Super Cub is a road bike and doesn't like doing off-road chores at all... too many plastics to scuff/break, narrow cast wheels and skinny tires, limited suspension, minimal ground clearance, etc. The SC's higher top speed (62-68 MPH) and higher efficiency are great for commuting and exploring back roads. The Trail Cub (CT125) is a trail bike that can handle on-road chores when necessary, but it's more suited to a slower pace on gravel and minor off-road adventures. The CT has better suspension, slightly better ground clearance (high-swept exhaust), and better trail riding ergonomics with higher handlebars. The CT's lower top speed (48-55 MPH) hampers its on-road capabilities for faster city streets or cruising back highways. The difference in final drive gearing and mid-range tuning is relatively minor, but they are immediately felt on the street when you ride the two Cubs back to back. So, the decision boils down to your expectations and your riding chores. The SC is the better option if you're primarily riding on the street. If you want to do any off-road riding or need better suspension, then the CT is the winner as long as you don't need to travel above 55 MPH. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard i appreciate you writing back friend and here in wv it’s just a $100 difference in the two so still debating on which one and I say either one be a very dependable bike, and can’t wait until you guys next long adventure and iam so glad I found your channel and the places you guys go still amazes me!!!
Quasi, what is the BEST Raingear setup out there? One that will keep me dry, lightweight and cost effective. After all, I've seen you in some torrential downpours on your travel. Keeping DRY is important!
Howdy, Alberto! There is no perfect solution for rain gear because all of solutions will have compromises in either quality or price. Any gear that uses GORE-TEX is usually the best answer, but those are never cheap. I've had very good luck with the "cheap" Nelson-Rigg Storm Rider 2-piece rainsuit ( amzn.to/3KBSLJ8 ), but it's not necessarily lightweight or compact. I've used the Frogg-Toggs ultralight rain suits as backup/emergency items, but they don't last more than an hour or so at freeway speeds. You'll also need decent waterproof gloves and boots. My personal favorites have been the TCX Explorer boots ( www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tcx-explorer-4-gtx-boots ) and the HELD Air-N-Dry gloves ( www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held-air-n-dry-gloves ). Neither of those are inexpensive solutions, but they are long-wearing and work very well. I'm still rocking a pair of TCX EVO Explorer boots that are 7+ years old with over 250K miles on them, and they're still going strong! If you're interested, you can jump into my Discord server and we can discuss a bunch of this in realtime. I just created a new channel for gear & equipment discussions: discord.gg/DfC97FU . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
What's wrong with the organizers for including these off road sections? It's not a dualsport event. I would verbally blast them and tell them I won't be riding anymore of their events unless they guarantee no offroad sections. From a 2020 Super Cub rider.
We were all cussing Dave (the organizer of the event) on several of those gravel roads. He even cussed himself for a few of them, especially the horrible mountain pass near the end of Day 10: ua-cam.com/video/Lnr6yrjbNm8/v-deo.html&2963s . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

The gauge data is recorded by the GoPro Hero7 Black camera and my Garmin GPS. The software that creates the gauge overlay is called GoPro Telemetry Extractor ( goprotelemetryextractor.com/ ) and it's very flexible for creating custom layouts to display gauge data. It will work with any GPS data streams from the GoPro or other devices (e.g., Garmin, DJI, etc). I use TE to combine my GoPro data and also the GPX files from my Garmin Zumo GPS to achieve better accuracy. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Most Japanese motorcycles are vastly superior to Chinese brands in terms of build quality, reliability, and longevity. Honda and Yamaha are legendary for building the most reliable motorcycles and scooters on the planet. Honda has been the most reliable brand out of my 150+ motorcycles that I've owned in the past 40+ years. Some of the Chinese GY6 scooters have been known to last quite a while mechanically, but their fit and finish is usually horrible (e.g., rattles, metal fatigue, rusting, electrical problems, etc). However, some of the Taiwanese and Korean makes (e.g., SYM, Kymco) are nearly equal with Honda in terms of mass production quality and longevity. 😉👍 --QM
This is the KipMoto SherpaX adventure trailer: kipmoto.com/pages/sherpax . We asked Joel at KipMoto to build a custom hitch for our Super Cubs so we could pull them on the 2021 SCBR. He did a fantastic job on the hitch, and we haven't experienced a single problem with the bikes or the trailers in over 12K miles! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Absolutely love these videos. Makes me want to buy a Supercub and torture myself with a cross country ride. Keep up the adventure.
I would get the CT over the cub
I really like this cannon ball stuff and I have learned at least one thing from it. I'm never going to put myself through it haha
Lol
Love the overlays on the screen! UA-cam needs more channels like yours, keep up the great work and stay safe out there!
1:15:52 got me singing. "Country roads, take me home." lol
Yaaay, been waiting for this. Love the long versions, from a fellow Super Cub rider in England. Such beautiful countryside.
Hell Yeah !!!! , Guess what I'll be watching for the next 4 nights ... In 35 minute chunks . Cheers Aaron 😉
Forgot how late we left that morning, At the start of that morning, I realized I was the only Vespa GTV left in the event.
I'm uploading Day 9 now. That's the night we gave you Hell for getting lost on the way to the restaurant! 🤣👍 --QM
This event looks like an awesome endurance challenge. I appreciate the unfiltered view of the ups and downs on the ride!
It’s a shame that you had to roar past all of that magnificent scenery and not take it all in. Best wishes for a UK Cub owner, and yes it’s all your fault !!
My madness loves company... so welcome to the addiction! 🤣👍 --QM
The conveyer brings the coal to a railroad loading station back the direction you came from. It's for Canyon Fuel Skyline Mines.
Super Cubs go flying fast!!
Awesome video! I’m really enjoying this, thank you for all the work. I bet that was a great tasting meal & beer. You deserved it. You have a great temperament. Funny line about the old timer saying your f’ing stupid for going down that road, too funny. 🤣
fantastic episode - amazing scenery once again!
re 1:23:20 - canyon fuel co skyline mines
Dirt roads is where the CT Shines..
Yeah, you know if you guys are consuming oil you should still change it oil at regular intervals to check the gold plug magnet

its truly amazing what the supercub can do im going to save up for one

Yay the coal would burn until all the fuel was consumed. There's a mine in the smokeys, that has been burning for +75 years.
I took a couple of trips on a 550cc Suzuki and one was from bluffton ,Ohio to Daytona Beach FL. Went 550 mi.

How do you think the Adv-150 would have done on this trip? I'm picking up one next weekend, gonna test it out on Michigan back roads as soon as i can.

I've had very good luck with the "cheap" Nelson-Rigg Storm Rider 2-piece rainsuit ( amzn.to/3KBSLJ8 ), but it's not necessarily lightweight or compact. I've used the Frogg-Toggs ultralight rain suits as backup/emergency items, but they don't last more than an hour or so at freeway speeds.
You'll also need decent waterproof gloves and boots. My personal favorites have been the TCX Explorer boots ( www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tcx-explorer-4-gtx-boots ) and the HELD Air-N-Dry gloves ( www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held-air-n-dry-gloves ). Neither of those are inexpensive solutions, but they are long-wearing and work very well. I'm still rocking a pair of TCX EVO Explorer boots that are 7+ years old with over 250K miles on them, and they're still going strong!
If you're interested, you can jump into my Discord server and we can discuss a bunch of this in realtime. I just created a new channel for gear & equipment discussions: discord.gg/DfC97FU . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
What's wrong with the organizers for including these off road sections? It's not a dualsport event. I would verbally blast them and tell them I won't be riding anymore of their events unless they guarantee no offroad sections. From a 2020 Super Cub rider.
We were all cussing Dave (the organizer of the event) on several of those gravel roads. He even cussed himself for a few of them, especially the horrible mountain pass near the end of Day 10: ua-cam.com/video/Lnr6yrjbNm8/v-deo.html&2963s . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
SUPERCUBS!! NOTHING NICE!!

I’m just wondering if whoever made the route with all these dirt roads got punched in the nuts over that. It’s like yay more dirt Roads winning no.
When do they have the next one?

Meh......the front brake provides more stopping power anyway.

@@QuasiMotard thank you
how do you have this much info on the screen? how are you getting it?
The gauge data is recorded by the GoPro Hero7 Black camera and my Garmin GPS. The software that creates the gauge overlay is called GoPro Telemetry Extractor ( goprotelemetryextractor.com/ ) and it's very flexible for creating custom layouts to display gauge data. It will work with any GPS data streams from the GoPro or other devices (e.g., Garmin, DJI, etc). I use TE to combine my GoPro data and also the GPX files from my Garmin Zumo GPS to achieve better accuracy. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard thank you very much for responding with a detailed reply.
Are Hondas better than the cheaper tia bikes
Most Japanese motorcycles are vastly superior to Chinese brands in terms of build quality, reliability, and longevity. Honda and Yamaha are legendary for building the most reliable motorcycles and scooters on the planet. Honda has been the most reliable brand out of my 150+ motorcycles that I've owned in the past 40+ years.
Some of the Chinese GY6 scooters have been known to last quite a while mechanically, but their fit and finish is usually horrible (e.g., rattles, metal fatigue, rusting, electrical problems, etc). However, some of the Taiwanese and Korean makes (e.g., SYM, Kymco) are nearly equal with Honda in terms of mass production quality and longevity. 😉👍 --QM
abuse of man and machine lmao youre used to that at your age right :D
Quasimotard - whered you find that cargo trailer?
This is the KipMoto SherpaX adventure trailer: kipmoto.com/pages/sherpax . We asked Joel at KipMoto to build a custom hitch for our Super Cubs so we could pull them on the 2021 SCBR.
He did a fantastic job on the hitch, and we haven't experienced a single problem with the bikes or the trailers in over 12K miles! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard thank you!!! Keep on making these vids!!
Don't understand buying one of these over a zuma.
Another great episode of the cub cannonball!
