3000km Supercub Trip - Part 1 Northern Territory - Australia

[@loveisall5520]

I'm too old and crippled to ride anymore; I owned my last cycle in the 80's. But I'd snap up one of these new Cubs in a heartbeat if I could ride it; I rode my first one extensively in the sixties. Green with envy and best wishes from the Texas Gulf Coast!

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks mate, I love riding the little Honda. So light & easy. Cheers Jeff

[@wombatone5577]

Postie bikes sure are a great way to explore our big country, you don’t miss much and so cheep to run. Cheers!

[@Jeff4fun]

Yep great fun. I wasn't sure how I or the bike would go on this trip but now I just want to plan more. Cheers Jeff

[@carlarthur4442]

The sound track suits the ride . Love it . Thanks for the trip looks a beautiful place ✨️ 😊 😍

Lots of k's to cover :-) good fun. Cheers Jeff

[@Jeff4fun]

The little Hondas are great fun. I've been riding my 1985 CT110 today :-)

[@zamdrang]

Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. Great to ride along on a tour of Australia and even better that it's on a small bore bike. Strikes me how similar it looks to parts of the western u.s. Look forward to watching the rest of your trip.

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks mate, the trip was great fun. I'm looking forward to more trips. The final video for this trip should be published by the end of this week. Cheers Jeff

[@carlarthur4442]

Very impressed with these little bikes , I feel an urge coming on 😂 great scenery 👍

[@Jeff4fun]

Yes the little Honda's are great fun & so easy to use off road as well. Even rode it in snow & ice last trip with no problems. Cheers Jeff

[@littlepebble4836]

I like this. I like you checked the oil.... Hilarious🤣 but no comment 😩. Honestly I was surprised for such a long trip you did not fit a windshield/deflector the older guys swear by them here.

[@Jeff4fun]

Didn't have to add oil but I did do an oil change half way through the trip in South Australia. I ride with a full face helmet & at the speed the little Honda goes that works fine plus it's hot & the wind helps keep me cool. Good fun. Cheers Jeff

[@scootamikekannegieter6549]

Great first video of your trip to the south. Those little Cubs are so good hey. Enjoyed watching this with Google Maps open as well. Recognised a few places you stopped after Alice. Hoping to get my hands on a CT110 or Cub myself very soon and will be doing as few vids as well. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe 👍

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Mike the little Honda's are great fun. Cheers Jeff

Little bikes, big adventures!

[@Jeff4fun]

Yes good fun. Cheers Jeff

[@davidharlem6824]

What a great trip! I have towed a van to Darwin and back but must be a challenge on a bike. Thanks Jeff!

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks David, I enjoyed the ride. Cheers Jeff

[@mike1525]

This was a great watch! Awesome to see what these little bikes can do. Just got my nbc110 a few days ago 😁

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Mike they are great fun. Still editing the next one. Cheers Jeff

Thanks. Cheers Jeff

[@timoflynn2531]

Blimey mate, that's a pretty impressive trip! Inspirational to see someone using a small bike for such a big mileage. Thank you for posting.

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks mate. It was fun. The little bike was comfortable to sit on all day. Cheers Jeff

[@LittleRedRoosterADV]

Looks like a great trip Jeff. Can't wait for the next instalment.

[@Jeff4fun]

Yep it was fun. Hoping to upload the next one soon. Cheers Jeff

[@vincentjohnny1]

Hi Jeff, Superb content you show to us! I'm little jealous what view you have on your trip, I love wide open spaces. Can't wait for more videos from you. Best regards from Poland.

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Xav it's always good fun getting out on a bike. Next video out in a few weeks. Cheers Jeff

[@simonbell8996]

Hey Jeff, really enjoyed this video of your ride through the NT. Gutsy ride! Looking forward to checking out the others. We met near Quorn SA a couple of weeks ago, I was on an FJR looking at steam trains.

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi Simon glad you liked it, it was fun to do. Hope your ride back to Canberra went well. Maybe we'll catch up riding somewhere although I will need a bit more hp :-) Cheers Jeff

[@cooperwelsh3471]

How come you have so little subscribers?? Love your content and adventures. I go out on my super cub 50 cc on the Netherlands as much as possible. I make 3000 km a year. But Holland is a small country only 300 km from north to south. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi Cooper. Thanks for your comments, glad you like the videos. I enjoy making them. I think most of my views & subscribers come from sharing my videos on Facebook groups so a lot of viewers aren't logged in to KZbin to comment or subscribe. It's great fun getting out & exploring. I have more planned but I think there will be a while between videos this year as I finish working in the NT & move. Cheers Jeff

[@donaloherlihy9710]

A great video - thanks for sharing!

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Donal glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Jeff

Love it mate . Come and see me at Vic River in a month's time.

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Steve. I will be loading up our ute in Tennant Creek & driving to nsw in a month so won't be able to get to Vic river. I road the postie out there a couple of years ago. Nice spot. Cheers Jeff

[@timhudson1846]

Don't know why.. but reminds me of Oklahoma... Your bike is a Cross Cub?? Wishing we could get those here.. I had a 2020 Super Cub.. traded it off for a Rokon.. hated the super cub solo seat.. traded before I found out you can buy a long seat for it Miss it Terribly.. I'll get another one someday soon.. In The meantime..I'll ride my Yamaha TW 200

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi Tim. So many variations of the Honda Cub. My one is a NBC110 used by Australia Post. Much the same as the Cross Cub. I love riding it but I am also looking for another larger bike to add to my collection. That seems the way with bikes :-) Cheers Jeff

[@timhudson1846]

@@Jeff4fun try out a Yamaha TW 200.. I really like mine.. they've been building them for something like 35 years.. for your riding and terrain.. I'd probably be perfect for you.. But I'd definitely keep the cub.

Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb, beautifull song founded through Shazam

[@Jeff4fun]

Love that song. I'm glad that KZbin has a license agreement with Pink Floyd so I could use it. Cheers Jeff

[@beverlyhills7883]

Thanks, great video. Just curious, what does a new 110/125 cub cost in Australia these days?

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Beverly, glad you liked it. A new 125 costs about $8000 which is a bit expensive in my view & I think if I was looking for a new bike in that price range I'd probably get a Himalayan. My one is an ex Australia Post bike. Cheers Jeff

[@BudoReflex]

Well done mate. 👍😎

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Andrei. Cheers Jeff

[@lesleywillis6177]

It looks great, but my mind would be on getting mashed by a dozing pickup or truck driver on those straight roads!

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Lesley, it was fun but I did keep a good eye out on the traffic. A few years back some of the highway was open speed limit with some vehicles travelling over 200km/h. Cheers Jeff

[@sophieangell9482]

What preparation did you do to the bike for the trip and any tips that you recommend about how to ride/treat the bike on long trips??

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi Sophie there is a video on my channel showing my prep work. Basically new tyres, battery, drive chain & oil. Previously I changed the cam chain. I rode mostly full throttle in 4th. At the end of most days I adjusted the drive chain & lubed it every day. I checked the oil every day & changed it once. Normally I change it every 1000kms. The little bike was great. Cheers Jeff

[@happyhonda1968]

18:08 time which music is this?

[@Jeff4fun]

I see you found the answer. Love Pink Floyd :-) Cheers Jeff

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you! This is great adventure video by Cub and you !! Awesome!! I have a question! Do you have any extra fuel tank for Cub? Cause you run about so so long distance . Cub tank capacity is not enough!!

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi. Yes I have fitted an extra fuel tank that gravity feed into main tank. I have a video of fitting it on my channel. I have over 9 liters so can easily get over 300km between filling. Cheers Jeff

[@cubgsan]

@@Jeff4fun san It is great modification!!! Extra fixed tank !!!!

[@marceltromp1454]

​@@Jeff4funhi Jeff are gas ⛽ usually within 300 km or further apart. . Where's Ur navigation?

[@Jeff4fun]

My original planned route would have one section further than 300km between fuel & I was carrying a container for an extra 5 liters. Didn't end up needing that. Navigation wise I knew where to go plus I had my phone with Google maps & paper maps. Cheers Jeff

[@ignaciofuertes3642]

I want to do exactly what you do with my honda super cub 110 from Perth to Exmouth. Some people told me it can be very dengerous because of the Camper van and trucks, and also because of kangaroos. Any opinion?

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi mate, your planned trip sounds great. Riding a more powerful bike would mean that you are traveling at the same speed as the other traffic but greater chance of a roo encounter. I found most vehicles were able to overtake quickly & gave me room. I had one roo jump out in front of me ( didn't have the camera on) but as I was riding slower I was able to miss it. I reckon keep an eye on the traffic & enjoy the adventure. Cheers Jeff

[@marceltromp1454]

Which vid is about you mounting an extra fuel tank ?

[@Jeff4fun]

The first 2 videos on my channel. My Postie bike is fuel injected so the extra tank gravity feeds into the main tank. I originally used a XR250 tank but it was too old & leaked so I fitted a pit bike tank.

[@marceltromp1454]

Thats what im preparing for too on a 190xr. Cairns to Perth. Hows Ur butt 😂

[@Jeff4fun]

Hi the seat is really comfortable but I had lots of short stops to stretch. Your trip sounds like fun. I have another video that shows what I did for prep & carrying. Cheers Jeff

[@Jeff4fun]

Are you planning on riding via Yulara? I'll be working there for the next 2 years so depending when you travel maybe I'll catch up with you. I would like to get some feedback on how your Honda goes. Cheers Jeff

[@marceltromp1454]

@@Jeff4fun I'm waiting for parts for the xr190 a farm bike . And want to do cape York from Cairns. And one day to Perth from Cairns.

[@Jeff4fun]

Great to getaway on a small bike. I reckon a light bike is the way to go. Cheers Jeff

[@marceltromp1454]

@@Jeff4fun yes I believe so too. The 650s are all to high and to heavy, I'll fall over standing still 😂. I saw Ur packing stuff vid now I have an idea about what to pack too. So U navigate with the phone just on google maps ? And how do you find the gas station distances all within reach ?

[@marceltromp1454]

Any spare tyre or pump ?

[@Jeff4fun]

I started with new tyres & carried spare tubes, a 12v compressor, tyre gel & air cylinders. I had to get a new back tyre mid trip. Cheers Jeff

Hi. Wait, let me watch the video and will comment.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Fantastic. Love the solitude, love the super low footprint of riding a postie bike. Do you reckon a wind shield will help the top speed?

[@Jeff4fun]

Thanks Benny glad you enjoyed it. Windshield may help. When I was riding to Broken Hill the wind was so strong I was almost laying down on the bike & in 3rd gear at times. That will be in the next video. Cheers Jeff
