The semi-truck drivers should like seeing your fuel tank on the back rack, a mini version of their saddle tank(s) !! The second taillight is a great idea, not only for the voltage regulating, for your safety as-well.
@@donsoule6411 By the time I cover it with travel bags, etc….you might not even see or notice the tank. Since the video, I’ve painted it black, to blend in with the rack.
Finally got to watch your video Mike! What a beatiful day to be out on a mini bike! Just leave the worries behind hey?! Looking forward to the WV ride. I have an Uncle who lives in Madison heights near Lynchburg VA. I visit every chance I get. Keep up the great work and content Mike. All the best Gavin UK.
Semi-Auto Clutch fan here too. There’s a few videos on YT that show all 4-things it is design to do, including a centrifugal oil filter. If you understand the shift lever action, rev-matching on downshifts can be done just as well as with a manual clutch. I second the motion, Your not crazy… I am too!
The word Cass caught my eye.I have lived in WV my whole life.Around Cass you will need something with a little touque.As you know those 9 percent grades are hard on a mini.Would like to participate but none of my small bikes are running to where I would trust them on a ride like that.Did you say Warner?I know a few of those people..lol
That's why i love my Navi, cvt trans, keeps the focus on the ride, and feels like riding a jetski when carving corners. And we a really tall guy it keeps my feet out in the highway pegs more, not having to deal with shifting. I'd ride it out to WV with you but my top end is right in your vibration zone, 47ish when loaded. 😂
That extra torque definitely looks like it's coming in handy during the hills "Please don't tell Mama Warner" 😂 seems you and I would be safe from scrutiny on whatever we do on the channel. Neither of our wifes watch the videos lol
@@jimsweeney6074 The Beanblossom Bottoms hike isn’t actually in Beanblossom. It’s along BeanBlossom Creek, which runs just north of Ellettsville. I did around 50 miles on this trip.
I like your videos, I have one advice. try downshifting with intermediate throttle, the engine won't jerk as much with the bike and the ride is smoother. It's better when the engine revs match when downshifting, and it's also quite addictive 😛 Be safe ! 🤙
@@mikeb6431 Hey Mike! Yes. One of the taillights had a loose bulb socket. The bulb would vibrate to a spot that it would lose connection, it would go out and the voltage would jump. I tightened the socket around the bulb and all seems good now.
@@shaunjeffries3136 Cass, WV. There is a small bore group ride on Saturday, September 21st. It leaves Cass at 10:00am. I’m not sure of the exact route, but I think it goes thru Cass, Durbin, Green Bank, etc.
bought a k0 ct 70 at swap meet top end missing from engine looks like the chinese kits have wrong piston ? would you have a top end for sale or what are my options not crazy about spending a fortune on it already have 12 other older hondas lol mainly getting it back together and hearing it run
@@bradbrown6255 Sorry, I’m not a parts supplier, I don’t sell parts. If you’ve watched any of my videos, you’d know what I’d do with it…..install a Lifan and have a blast.
@@kennyhelms277 Sorry, don’t know. I’ve never felt the need for one, so I’ve not tried to install one. I saw on FB, a while back, that someone installed a kit, so they must be out there.

Lookin' good Mike. Good call on that exhaust from Bart Moto. I have the same one on my 212cc swapped CT70 and it's awesome.
@@SVCRescue Thanks Patrick! It’s a good looking exhaust. We’ll see how it works tomorrow.
Love the second half of the video with all the scenery! Favorite part though, was the ending! Great shot! 👍🏾
@@franciscoolvera6871 Thanks. I was a little disappointed. UA-cam pulled the music in a couple spots, but it was on their ok list. 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed Mike, Semi-Automatic was the greatest get on the CT70 and now my ice bear champion clone! And I don't think you are a bit crazy.

@@pellingt At your height, I’m surprised you ride that little rascal. They are a neat little bike and great for zipping around town.
Great video, Mike! And the turtle sundae looks awesome too! 😉
@@stuartappleton4178 Thanks! It was awesome!!😁
Nice ride Mike liked the scenery and the bike performance. Could you provide the mirror source.
@@billlester3088 Thanks. The mirrors are KemiMoto, off of Amazon. I’ve used about 10 sets of them now, I really like them.

@@Smallbore2wheels Yeah, the little extra oomph, for hills, is nice. Amy actually does watch my videos from time to time. She’ll eventually see it. 🤣🤣
@@MiniBikeMike 😅
Cool! I'm looking forward to Jiffy Treat on your next ride.
@@tommers00 Sounds like a plan!
You should label the tank...rocket fuel
@@conniewaite1371 Since the video, I’ve painted it black. By the time I load my travel bags around it, it probably won’t even be noticeable.
Great outro, on the ending!
@@tggfinancial Thanks
Maybe some rubber washers to help keep vibration down on the tank?
If you went all the way to Bean Blossom and Elletsville, you did a lot of riding!

@@faridave I kinda prefer the jerking. When you ride a little, underpowered bike, it gives the feeling of riding something with more giddyup. 🤣
I would try to gear down to compensate for the larger wheel diameter. 🤫 on the turtle. man that looked good lol
@@lloydlacross1358 I had already tried, it didn’t help.
Awesome video mike,thanks, maby the voltage problem is in the wire gage size ? I’m not so good on electrical
@@gerardkenny8408 I’m not sure. It’s wired exactly like every other bike I’ve built. It seems to be working and not blowing bulbs…..for now. 😀
Nice
@@cainbeeping8480 Thanks
Always wanted a st90 never got one
@@Roy-xz3dd There are lots of them out there. They’re way cheaper than CT70’s, currently.
Cool video Mike! Did you figure out the voltage increase?
@@mikeb6431 Hey Mike! Yes. One of the taillights had a loose bulb socket. The bulb would vibrate to a spot that it would lose connection, it would go out and the voltage would jump. I tightened the socket around the bulb and all seems good now.

Mike I have a crf100 Honda. Motor needs rebuilt wondering if you could suggest a after market engine I could buy.
@@David-wolff Is the engine vertical style or horizontal? If vertical, no clue. If horizontal, maybe a Lifan, if it shares the same bolt pattern.
@@MiniBikeMike didn’t know if Lifan had vertical engine. Thank you for responding
@@David-wolff They could, I have no idea. I’ve never messed with a bike that has a vertical engine. I only do horizontal engines.
