One more reason I regret not going and seeing you guys, but we had a great family vacation that weekend. Seeing this video I think the lower camping may have been what did it in alot of big vehicles on very wet grass. I thought that Power Wheels downhill was a bad idea when I saw it announced. Then I saw the video of it and how it ran out on the concrete pad at a sharp angle and thought thats a really bad idea. I don't know man I'll miss it. Theres gotta be enough rednecks in the south to find a big venue, not as cool of one, but something. My vote would be Texas, that would get it centrally located for most of the participating states. But, I know the southeast is pretty big for car and bike stuff. Thanks for posting this, we have had a busy year. My oldest daughter you met, Ashlyn is having some health problems and my brain has not been on anything fun. Were in the ER yet again right now as I'm watching your video. It's honestly a relief. Take care.

Love your videos, currently saving up $ to buy a blue Honda CB550 Four (dream bike). Any advice on what to look out for? Also, I am slightly concerned about the brakes and safety of driving an older bike in aggressive traffic. Thank you for your videos!
@yesterdaysgarage24 күн бұрын
The more original the bike is the better. The more it has been modified over the years the more problems you will have. Most of my cars, trucks and motorcycles were built in the 1980's. The brakes are not as good as a new vehicle. Always leave a little more room for stopping and drive more conservative in heavy traffic. The brakes are not bad but not as good as modern vehicles. Remember in the early 1970's the govt mandated a 55 mph speed limit across the USA. These vehicles were designed around that a little more than now when the speed limit is 70 +

Nice video. Wish more people would just do a riding explore video like this. Up in PA here we have Centralia. They accidentally set the coal on fire underground and the goverment bought everyone out but 3 or 4 people. Bunch of roads with no houses. A temp. fix for your squeaking brake. Rub a pencil on the rotor. The graphite works for awhile. Large kids pencil or carpenters pencil works best.
@yesterdaysgarage28 күн бұрын
I have heard of Centralia, very cool story. Stick around I have a bunch of explore videos coming up. I will have more info about the towns and history also. Might redo this one since it is so close to the house. I fixed my brakes, got a new rotor, caliper, lines, and pads. works great now, and no more squeaking.

Nice 550! Ive got a 92 750 Nighthawk I'm running around on. Does hiway fine. Here in PA they're adding a couple rondabouts here and there. They're fine if only one lane. In Wisconsin, they love them 2 lanes entering and exiting, and then 1 every 100 yds. 3 or 4 in a row. Hate them! If you don't know where you're going forget it! If traffic is heavy you just sit. We'd plot on Google to avoid them. Couldn't everywhere so some places we never got to. The newer, shopping, motel areas were polluted with them. Just Google maps Oshkosh, WI.
@yesterdaysgarageАй бұрын
They are adding a multi lane roundabout a couple of miles from my house. Honestly it will be an improvement over what they have now. They one now is the size of a donut. The problem is nobody around here knows how to use a roundabout. They think its a four way stop. I love the early 90's nighthawks. Awesome looking bike.

Get a Nighthawk and you'll never regret it even if you switch to something else later! 92-03 Honda Nighthawk CB750 is the best of the bunch when you include cost and parts availability.

Couldn't agree more. I live in Vegas and it's wall to wall people here and every light is red so the time. I'm 56 and I've just started riding a couple years ago. I didn't understand why bikes are so quiet these days. When you add ear protection, you can't hear anything. I didn't like Harley's so I guess I have to pay for aftermarket exhaust on top of the cost of the bike. I don't understand why people listen to music when they ride. The engine makes it's own music which a huge part of riding. Stay safe.

That's why you never see a motorcycle parked outside a therapist's office, riding IS therapy! I've been riding for 40 years, owned too many motorcycles to count over those years. When I have to ride so defensively that I don't enjoy it anymore, that'll be the time to give it up. Hope that doesn't happen for a few more years though. My current bikes are a 2018 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, and a 2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Special Edition.

I just started riding myself a few months ago, also late 40s, and for the exact same reasons and results you describe. Anyone thinking about it should just do it. I agonized over it for several years before taking the plunge, and only wished I had done it sooner. Do take some time and sit on many bikes, and not just for a second or two, really feel them under you and all the way around. Try ones you might not even think you would like or want, that's how I found the one that fit me perfectly yet unexpectedly, and couldn't be happier with my choice.

I have noticed though in the last year is they are going around and promoting small creators or videos with low view counts.
