$300 Honda Trail 70 Barn Find!

[@TheFurriestOne]

The CT70 boys are gonna ride!

[@cory0702]

I was a kid when these first came out. My dad brought home two of them. One auto and one with a clutch. Had some of the best times of my life with them.

[@pollyg562]

wish you had home videos of those bikes new back in the day got to be better than watching the monkeys intro

[@CarsandCameras]

They're multiplying!

[@sizableschreib1758]

CarsandCameras 46th!

[@Ravzxy]

CarsandCameras u guys are the best hope we can meet

[@clintmullins4406]

You guys should come ride the tail of the dragon at the Smokey mountain crawl June 8-10. It’s a small bore ride!!

[@reffresh2070]

Kill it before t It lays eggs!

[@zacksmith8567]

No offense John but i like Ike's better.

[@coryyoung2382]

They always look better as a survivor, the looks tell the story👍

[@MatthewSmith193]

I love Ike's idea of John's bike being restored and just cleaning his up and making it a survivor bike. Very cool idea.

[@mustie1]

as long as its a real skinny girl on back your all set, l have a ct70 that makes the green one look good,

[@zebsdreamgarage9898]

Mustie1 I love all your vids

[@countrymankdx200]

You the man mustie

[@benhawke7231]

Mustie1 Holy shiz... It's mustie1!!!

[@ignacio272]

i have a 70 too it s really good bike

[@joecooper2263]

MUSTIE MUSTIE MUSTIE!!!

[@11backwoodboys]

a trick i have done before is have a running bike with the back tire up off the ground butted up to the back bike tire you want to try to start. get the running bike to turn the other tire and boom it works. also have done it with a front wheel drive car with one wheel off the ground....you dont get nowhere near as tired as you do pushing one..lol

[@michaelfiler5436]

I had a mid 70-s Honda Seventy. After about 40,000 miles (Approx) My family worked in the woods so we wore out several of these Bikes. they were fun to ride, and easy to repair. Have fun!

[@mariocontorinojr8948]

Awesome video! We just got a 76 CT70 barn find for $400 bucks! Cleaned the tank and it fired up after a few kicks!!

[@FallenDj122]

you know, I have no idea about anything mechanical at all, and yet ever since i found this channel a couple years ago i think, i just couldn't stop watching, keep the crazy awesome builds goin guys

[@dream2sea]

FallenDj122 That’s the best comment of the day!!! ❤️

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

FallenDj122 thanks for watching

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Those are cool. I wish Honda still made that line.

[@ericturnbull9780]

upside downdog they are pretty cool. . Very, very retro looking. They are kind of pretty in that , "so strange that it's cute way" . . But I definitely like them . PEACE, Eric the Eturn

[@StephenButlerOne]

I'm sure some Indian company are still building these under (some loose) licence.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Stephen Butler I am pretty sure the Chinese do but I want a Japanese built Honda. I am funny like that, my Japanese built Nissan pickup is better than the US built Renault owned newer ones by far.

[@StephenButlerOne]

upside downdog my BiL had a Nissan pick up. It was one of the ones that got bought back from Nissan, cos the chassis was eating itself and snapping in half under light load. Hence to say, it put him and me off Nissan.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Stephen Butler I drive my '84 daily. 350k miles +. It has a full box frame, Hardbodies didn't.

[@alexwood7417]

me and my buddy are putting a 3 hp Briggs and straton engine on a pedal bike. and you guys inspire us every step of the way

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

alex wood sweet

[@bigheadfredbumstead683]

Me too ! I put a LS2 out of a 2007 Corvette with a turbo into my nifty Nash Metropolitan convertible with a Continental kit spare tire on the back bumper, it's tubbed out and has wheelie bars and steering brakes like a sand rail ! I like to race AC Cobra 427's and teach them a lesson!

[@ColtSSR]

Great show guys! Just polish them up and ride them, so much fun those bikes.

[@dmtb1857]

When i read the title i was humbled to see another barn find ! keep it up yall

[@dream2sea]

D MTB I think Isaac knows every motor head in a 25 radius, I think. That helps with the barn finds!

[@blkicemike4857]

I like the vintage bikes n cars, they got personality to them ya know,.. NEw vehicles are nice and all but ridiculously priced. $58k for new GMC xcab??? I'm not paying that much. Just as well build an old c-10, or whatever I want. My point being the ole classics I prefer..

[@dream2sea]

BlkiceMike Exactly!!

[@dmtb1857]

For sure, and yeah the prices of current vehicles are insane... The thing you get with the new ones though is the creature comforts and sleek updated interior

[@StephenButlerOne]

Barns find them

[@williamcolley4182]

I've always done up old peds. Dad taught me a cool trick for removing the rust. Get citric acid and soak the parts overnight. Sometimes best with a sacrificial annode in the dip tank

[@Johnnywhamo]

I have real soft spot for these bikes, I learned how to ride on one of these back around 1977 when I was 13. Good times, I lived in the country and all of us kids had dirt bikes from little 70's like this right up the CR 125 's

[@dumpsterdan88]

If you're cold, they're cold. Bring your rail inside. (Sarah McLaughlin starts singing "In the Arms of an Angel")

[@dream2sea]

Danakin Skywalk3r 🤣🤣🤣

[@drew657]

As you guys said "We're going to go get a flywheel puller and hope it works," I thought "It helps to have the proper tools!" ..... and then 30 seconds later you guys said it haha. Going through the same thing with a '79 Kawasaki KE100.

[@protonneutron9046]

I had one of those over 45 years ago! Great little trail machine.

[@kurtyoung6769]

I live north of Houston 50 miles. When it rarely snows here we have large snow flakes like that I've seen them even larger than that.....about the size of a silver dollar! .

[@raysplace6548]

Kurt Young I live in New England. As of right now, we're getting hammered with almost a foot of heavy, wet snow.. For lack of a better phrase,It sucks.. lol

[@brwhyon]

I still ( I'm 58 ) have my 1972 Ct70 same color as yours and I also have my original 1970 CT70 in the green, the 72 is an auto/no clutch to shift and the 70 uses a clutch. Planning on swapping the engine out on the 72 with a Lifan 150cc, they bolt right up with no mods, so they say.

[@DustinFlu]

These are your channels best videos. U guys just hanging out doing what you like without all the go power sport crap. Oh and ct70s are awesome too

[@DbeeSapphire]

Nice video. Love the ct70. Had one when I was 13, now building one basically from a frame and a box of some misc parts. I bought some used wheel assemblies off ebay. The hubs were great, but the wire lip in the tires rust fused to the rims. Lucky your rims came off the tires 😊

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

I like the idea of restoring one and leaving the other factory but I also think it would be cool to see both of you restore them and see which one comes out better.

[@Greg-so8mx]

Hey Ike, john I made my own racing mower but mine is a 18hp twin cylinder briggs its fast 6 speed but after a month i blew up the transaxle today you guys made it look fun so I had to do it

[@calebmiller6825]

I like the resto and survivor idea

[@JasonSmith-dt4rg]

Just saw two of these in Raleigh Craigslist. Pretty tempted to pick them up.

[@christopherharper5758]

Leave them both as survivors! Love the show. Shame on you for leaving the rail out 😂

[@paulcondie9932]

I like the trail 70 too in fact if I can find a blue one in restorable or descent shape I'm buying! Been wanting for awhile but after watching your vids I'm getting sooner than later! lol my 08 klr650 has the same type setup on the rear sprocket also so that shows how well engineered the Hondas were in the 70s!

[@hansen3bd]

These are the modern day Grom... sorta haha. Awesome video! love the series

[@jif.6821]

Ike, keep that "rat rod" look maybe treating the rust with Ospho then clear-coating with a satin finish. I like "Tina", short for patina? Perfect rat-rod name!

[@bronxbommer3216]

Just found your channel and ive been inspired to start building go karts and mini bikes! Thank you guys

[@blkicemike4857]

That's cool,.. I found an early 70s in papaws barn a week ago. It didn't know that's same as u r working on until I seen that mustard yellow frame. It was my uncles' bikes, decent shape except motor was run dry on oil. He got it with break'in still in?? Run it hot to cease it so papaw would get him a 3-wheeler. I'd have beat his ass for that, but everything else is surprisingly good. My fam has always been into bikes & quads, hell granny had an ol'panhead chopper when she got with papaw,🤭 no kiddin, she was mean mamma'jamma,.. Dad had the Harley dirt'bikes, my number of bikes... Ike the caddy500 for$500 motor only. It's sittin in an old Galaxy 500 for sale also.. Yeah I know Chevy-Chrysler in a Ford?? One of my uncles built it before he was murdered { pussy shot him in the back} anyway the car set in an old barn 30+years. It's not cherry but fixable..

[@aaronblack2760]

Hey just a little information about the ct70's only changed colors through the years the 69 model is gold and the 77 is orange

[@chevyguy5525]

I agree with Ike’s idea for the bikes, but I think you guys should also do some light modding on them (mostly for convenience).

[@CravingClassics]

That garage space is getting packed!

[@pnkflyd61]

That beach trip sounds epic.

[@randyrowe3097]

I had one of those and a couple z50's great fun. That 70 would run about 42 mph wide open all day long on a gallon of gas. Street legal and climb any hill the bigger dirt bikes were climbing. The hubs tend to stripout because they're aluminum.

[@kevinfrmkdz]

Those are dope ass tires!! Look like the vintage style chopper tires everyones running me included im running a 21” avon speedmaster up front and shinko e240 classic

[@raysplace6548]

SlammedHemi Love the vintage look myself. Looks friggin great

[@grandprismatic]

The green frame has a sweet colored patina

[@BeamerTheFox]

yea it does, I love green, an that color scratches that itch lol

[@mindovermatter3988]

By far the funniest thing I could ever done was get on the CT70 realize there was a bunch of stuff where his foot wanted to go and just shoved it out the way like I'm enjoying this moment

[@anthonywebb4866]

Ike, we all know you like that patina, keep it that way buddy. 👌

[@Honda_Explorer]

Ike do a full resto on yours to make them both absolutely perfect then take a cruise to the beach would be epic!

[@ROYLFRSHNESS]

cant wait to see the finished bike! You have to do the road trip

[@brooksimons8328]

I love watching your channel I have several builds and it's great to see like minded projects keep it up

[@brandonzacharias8866]

I love all the chevy I see on your videos

[@CFLGopedder]

When you mounted that headlight assembly that bike took some life !!!!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Christopher sanchez it looks way better. Lol

[@wi11y1960]

The OEM puller for that was a bar that threaded into the flywheel and had a stop inside. So when you tightened the bar it would screw into the flywheel and press against the end of the crank backing off the flywheel. Also I am surprised you didnt ask honda dealer to search for the tires and rims.

[@Chalz108]

I like the survivor bike and restored bike idea

[@ericturnbull9780]

Very cool that Ike was able to find one of the 70s so quick. And for a decent deal. . Keep it up. Peace, Eric the Eturn

[@brystonfranke1691]

I'm with Ike on the restore and survivor combo.

[@richtobias1286]

Valve adjustment on these things is critical set to specs and be amazed at how much better they start

[@Sparkle_2002]

Take the exhaust of the yellow trail 70 and put il on the blue one to stay authentic !! 😃

[@kelldurb8221]

A tip you guys may know already I like to use a heat gun to warm up an engine thats cold to help it start easier. I would love to get one of those old Honda's but to expensive. Some day maybe Ill run into a good deal and buy one. .

[@rocckstar187]

I think you guys should do a restored one and a CaC beast creation one...suicide shifter white walls mini ape hangers...like a old school "chopper"

[@korgeth]

I learned to ride on one these. It was a red one early 70's year model. I think they called it candy red.

[@bubbzification]

Awesome find.

[@pancudowny]

I hear Isaac about those tires... I once saw an ad for "specialty" tires in a motor-enthusiast mag, and when looked at the tread-pattern I said "Hey... This is the same pattern as the Goodyear Viva 3 Wal-Mart sells!".

[@lookawaygrstay9357]

You need a cabinet sand blaster. So damn handy to have. Cool video.

[@ljkkj2511]

Hey guys! Do roadtrip whit this two!

[@ruger9617]

A friend had one of those when I was at calage boy was that wears to ride the small wheels made it feel like you were fighting to stop it falling into bends. I had the the same problem when I tried riding a vespa 150. This is probably why I stuck to motorbikes with proper size wheels LOL

[@ThatOneGuy077]

Crack the door, put a small box fan pointing out lol what I do when it rains. When I had a garage. Now I got a metal barn that's supposed to be a garage but parents have it filled with their crap til their house gets built.

[@dustinday8590]

Keep the bike the way it is looks cool grate find ike

[@dax-tobi]

I would be lucky for finding such a bike... we here in germany are lucky if we pay roundabout $1500 for an old but complete "ST 50 Dax" (german version of the Trail 70) and much more for rare exemplares like the ST 70 "White Dax", which are priced around $2500! So, what lucky guys you are in comparison to us ;) but as i always say: "if it is a hobby, it costs much of precious money!"

[@itsnotafly233]

I have wanted one of these since I saw the roadkill episode about them, I am so jealous.

[@georgedelgado9512]

You guys should soak your parts in a bucket of Chemtool for about an hour then take them out and rinse them off. When you take them out of the Chemtool hit them with a light brush the parts will be so clean. You will see everything come right off.

[@meco72104]

Cool bikes.

[@JamesCouch777]

So much more entertaining than the Harley builds 👍😁

[@callumdavidson8151]

I wish you guys did more videos!

[@rodneythornhill9526]

It seems more and more people are finding those things and fixing them up. I had a red one when I was a kid and traded it for a moped.

[@dx2tophat599]

I’ve noticed that the 73 (k2) generation of the CT70 is really really rare to see. I used to have a light blue 1973 ct 70 three speed with an automatic clutch and loved the thing to death! Until my dad decided to strip the bolt that held the woodruff key between it and the flywheel and destroyed the engine.

[@propaneandpropaneaccessori3446]

So glad your doing motorcycle stuff, even if they're miniature lol the old honda scooters are cool too, try to get some of those

[@DonovanBryant92]

+CarsandCameras my HPE cat mini bike had the same problem with the wheel bearings they looked like someone had left them sitting in water for years

[@Cdbutler]

I like those tires they remind me of the tirea they ran on the harley choppers in the 60s an 70s all there missing is the white stripe

[@Mandelain17]

Love your vids. 2 problems with them. We need more. They need to be longer. That will be fine :)

[@speeedy95]

Hey Ike and John yall might want to be careful push starting your ct70s you could blow the transmission. I have a Baja 90 atv that was swapped to a 140cc full manual and I blew the transmission up in it from push starting.

[@Cubenga]

Do I smell some rivalry between u guys? Now when u both have a Trail 70? ;D Cheers guys, you're amazing! Love what you are doing and how you are doing it :D

[@Firebird_876]

Nice to see some Honda content.

[@LuxxyHD]

Nice to see another video

[@440_Fishing]

I had one just like Ike's 👍💯 . Just in white.

[@kotae764]

Dude that in looking forward to that beach vlog

[@dont_trip3232]

John you should use the rim from the green bike

[@dhallock11atgmailcom]

Come to Wilmington! I'll take you guys out on the beach in my Jeep.

[@havok531]

I had a Mini Trail 50 eons ago. I would love to have one of these.

[@25gidman]

Awesome honda content 🖒 cant wait to see more

[@marioruiz5313]

Great job! Great videos! You guys rule!!!

[@bigheadfredbumstead683]

I notice on the wheels where aluminum meets steel or iron, 2 dissimilar metals in other words , there is significant corrosion, a product such as NO ALOX works great at inhibiting electrolysis as is evidenced on these bikes.

[@jackassnation5702]

can you get a closer look at the stator on your little Honda cuz I got a 1971 Honda and I can't figure out the wiring on the stator

[@chrisvanhook9239]

U meet the nicest guys on a Honda

[@Sloppyjoe96]

if the ones mean green the other one has to be mellow yellow

[@pman1335]

Joe yes

[@jackallen6261]

They call me Mellow Yellow!!

[@Steven_McCrae]

Haha that’s perfect Joe

[@jaysparky1464]

My dad has the same Honda and color and stickers I always remember he told me once he got out of control and drove up a big stacks like 10feet tall and fell off in mid air

[@nielsmaronde2708]

Did you know Honda made the "DAX" they are pretty much simular to the CT70. I dont know its just the european version. You kan by them brand new here in Denmark, theres also a version called Skyteam DAX. Check it out, you could propably find lots of parts

[@andrewforbes4817]

These things are awesome

[@JarredRandom]

That green frame would have been cool to use

[@njdownhill]

Ok now i want one to go along with my qa50

[@motleysbuildandrepair546]

u guys should get one of those fans built in the wall that pull in fresh air and push the fumes out that way yall can paint inside your shop

[@StephenButlerOne]

Emenar Garage doubt his dad wants to encourage spraying near his cars

[@speeedy95]

Hey Ike a good name for your yellow ct70 would be mellow yellow

[@kyleessary1974]

Mean green and mellow yellow

[@nissmopwer]

I used to loose footage all the time on my gopro. I looked into it and something about the sd card becoming corrupt... anyway put it a freshy and it stopped losing footage.

[@tbirdracefan]

yep

[@dustinhicks5216]

What paint is that on your wheels John? That looks great!

[@CarsandCameras]

Thanks! I think they turned out very well for spray paint. It’s Rustoleum clean metal primer (not really a fan honestly), rustoleum metallic silver, rustoleum universal clear coat.

[@dustinhicks5216]

CarsandCameras awesome, thanks! Definitely gonna keep that one in the tricks. It really looks like they were fresh from the factory!
