AWESOME Postie Bikes!

[@garthhowe297]

This put a big smile on my face. Nothing like a gang of bikers, revving their bikes up through the gears, and cruising at .. what? 50 kmh wide open? Looks like great fun!

[@BikerBits]

LOL... good onya Garth! :-)

[@taka-oe2xf]

Hello Mark. Cheers from Japan! Glad to see so many honda cub riders down under. Keep on good riding!

[@BikerBits]

G'day mate, good onya! :-)

[@fontanajim]

Back in 1968 my first motorcycle was a Honda Trail 90. These CT110's remind me of my first motorcycle. Thanks Mark for posting these terrific videos.

[@blusnuby2]

Back in 1962 my Father rented a Honda Cub for a day. With a brief instruct, he turned me loose to put 11 miles on the clock, runnin around my front & back yards ! My "world caught fire" that day, and I was hooked on motorcycles ever since. Over all the decades and miles, on all my mechanical steeds, ((these little hondas)) always bring a sparkle to my eye & a smile to my lips...And have you seen Honda`s CROSS CUB ? YEOW !!!

[@zrkn1]

Those bikes are AWESOME. Excellent custom work by all the men. Keep On Ridin

[@BikerBits]

Good onya mate! :-)

[@lazgyrorider3894]

So cool. Big bikes are good & small bikes are fun to ride....

[@BikerBits]

That's exactly right Laz! :-)

[@stevematthews641]

To me this is the real spirit of motorcycling,and what mighty beasts they are

[@AmazingJSK]

the third bike shown is very nice, not only functionally clean but aesthetically as well!

[@rmlewaz]

Hey, Mark. I've been wanting a CT110 for a long time now. This video, along with the video of you and Matt buzzing around Bendigo, convinced me it's time. Thanks for the inspiration, mate.

[@shawnmoore4292]

This was my favourite postie bike video. Now I want one. Should do a budget build postie bike series on the new super cub.

[@BikerBits]

Thanks Shawn and yeah would be a good idea! :-)

[@GratefulEd907]

The price of a new one would blow the budget

[@metaldog7128]

Thank for shearing mark 👍that was good to see the postie bikes having fun 😀

[@BikerBits]

No worries mate! :-)

[@BornAdventures]

Plastic jerry cans for panniers is such a smart idea.

[@smittyk7810]

Yes I like that they are water proof, cheap and light weight. I agree a smart idea.

[@BikerBits]

Yeah Brilliant idea! :-)

Mark, I recognise 2 of those postie Bandits, Pete and Anthony. Like you Mark they like their bikes and have the odd one or 2 between them like you...lol. I still remember coming around the corner near Maydena in Tassie earlier this year to see a "swarm" of posties scoot past the other way with Pete head down between the bars trying to jockey for lead position in the pack. Had a good chuckle to myself as they were having a ball.

[@BikerBits]

Good Onya Ken! :-)

[@rmlewaz]

Good old Charlie. Great video, Mark. Gotta love the Posties!

[@BikerBits]

Brilliant bikes and great fun had by all. I enjoyed that, Mark. KOR 👍

Yep sure is! :-)

[@zacharyallen5134]

Just did a weekend up at the Leanganook camp at Mt Alexander myself a fortnight or so ago, if only I had been there when you blokes were up there! Love the channel mate, love seeing the sights of Bendigo from another blokes perspective

[@BikerBits]

G'day Zachary, yeah great little spot... Bugger we missed! :-)

[@GearheadStew]

Love these bikes! My first real bike was a CT70 and I always wanted one of the Trail 90's or Trail 110's. Sadly they are as scarce as hens teeth in the area I live in. The odd one comes up but it's usually big dollars for a bike needing a ton of work.

[@dalesworld1308]

ALL bikes are cool!

[@frankfeely9235]

That was fun to watch and was obviously way better to do. Gotta keep my eye open for a little bike to mess around on.

[@BikerBits]

Good onya mate! :-)

[@mcdowell356]

My first bike was a Hodaka Ace 100. I rode it year round .rain ,snow ,ice ,.12 miles each way to work and never dumped it . But man it was cold riding to work in the winter at 6am

[@smittyk7810]

I smiled and laughed the whole way through this video. Good one Mark. I almost want a Postie …… no I don't, no I don't. You nearly had me there. I'm better now.

[@BikerBits]

LOL... Good onya Smitty! :-)

[@diggler2002]

Looks like a lot of fun. I have a Versys 300 but I don't like riding fast. This is the kind of thing I would love to do.

[@mikeborud9130]

And a good time was had by all, cheers.

[@BikerBits]

That's it Mike! :-)

[@streetmoto1384]

Bloody brilliant! I'd love one of those for tooling around on!

[@BikerBits]

Yeah pure fun! :-)

[@carlarthur4442]

street moto yea doesn't have to be a 1200cc , I reckon looking at these little bikes they seem to be becoming a bit of a cult, see Honda have brought a super trail cub 125 cc out but not yet available in the U K yet . Be interesting to see the prices .

[@ChaoticDetour]

When you accidentally said Postie 120s I immediately had the Lifan 125cc engine swap come to mind. Supposed to give them much more power. The whole engine/trans are pretty cheap online, brand new. Might be an idea for a future build for you. Make the fastest Postie in the group. Haha

[@rockbay79]

You guys ride like Professional Moto-cross riders! Heck, I just "putt" around on my 1972 Honda Trail 90.

[@mynameiskhan9222]

I like it. I am going to buy one Postie bike soon.

[@johngifford7725]

Love it! Good times, great video.

[@BikerBits]

Thanks John! :-)

You guys are awesome.

[@AdventuresWithNimby]

Some nice posties mate good stuff! Noticed a RD sticker on that last one good stuff.

[@motohobo]

I like these little bikes. They look great fun. Wonder if I can find one for sale around here(Pyrenees Orientals). Really fancy kitting one up as a mini weekend adventure bike. No need for speed. Just potter along taking in the scenery. Pull up somewhere. Chill out. Good mpg too! Gimme!

[@BikerBits]

Yeah that's the way to do it mate! :-)

[@motohobo]

@@BikerBits spent a couple of hours on the internet looking for one yesterday. No luck yet but I'm going to keep looking. Cheers

[@BikerBits]

Thanks Jim! :-)

[@jimsteele7108]

Best part about these little bikes is the high/low range.

[@timhudson1846]

I don't think these have the high/low transmission

[@jimsteele7108]

@@timhudson1846 , I know the new CT 125 does not have the high low range, I assumed the ct110 still had that option.

Good to see a lot of MONARCHS MCC out and about, you failed to mention them Mark.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Great looking bikes, love the side pannier mods and boy do they seem to be able to carry a lot of luggage.Where did he get the brackets for them?

[@wobblysauce]

Bit of straight stock with a few bends and a zap of a welder.

[@BikerBits]

Yeah they can carry a lot... I actually carried a postie bike on a postie bike! :-) He made them I believe.

[@markh4763]

I would love to see some videos on how to hop up a postie. You could shave the head for a little more compression, change exhaust, things like that.

[@BikerBits]

Yeah that would be cool! :-)

[@jeeves6490]

Easier to pop a Loncin? engine in at 170cc, I think.

[@markh4763]

And then hop that up!!

[@Godshole]

As a young teen my Dad passed on to me his Honda C90 which would not MOT again, he had been using it as a work ride. So my best mate, who had an OSSA 250 (and his Dads workshop) and I welded some steel plates between the back shocks and the swing arm to lift the back to get some ground clearance, stripped off anything it didn't need and for 2 summers I had the best time of my life on that thing tearing up the local disused quarry with him and the other local scramblers. Used up 3 sets of front forks but man that thing could move with just my 8 stone wringing wet skinny arse on it.

[@BikerBits]

Bloody Ripper mate! :-)

[@Godshole]

@@BikerBits cheers for the comment :) Enjoying the channel.

[@smittyk7810]

I noticed that Marks Postie can catch and beat the new postie. I thought the new tech made it the fastest? Maybe it has lost some torque???

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

why dont they make something like a ct200 that seems to be the perfect size 20hp still small and light but not moped sized dont get me wrong i still want a super cub but uping up a hill in a timely maner would be nice

[@302cab]

Bloody good video... I can't understand who the two thumbs down came from? 😕

[@danforbes4513]

some times i have more fun on my moped on a hot day then i do on my ltz400 on the road. as the moped i can get past any line of cars stuck in a jam where the ltz400 i have to sit there in all my gear baking like a cupcake in the oven. so i think the ct125 will be great as i can go on road and off road and its will be nil the sound of the ltz400 and have people bitch at me for being to loud. plus the is only one good offroad track were i live i can take the ltz400 then back on the road with out people bitching. but the ct 125 they would just think im nuts doing all the good tracks then back on the road to get home for cold beers. :)

so the big bore kit to make it 125 can you feel the increase?

Riding one of those postie bikes in my neck of the woods could land a guy a butt whoopin. That's an Australian thing. In Kentucky, USA, it's street cruisers, sport bikes, dual sport/adventure bikes or dirt screamers. A postie bike is a no go. But I enjoyed the heck out of this video.

The Monarchs are a diverse group and this is just an example of the events, both official and unofficial that are organised and conducted by a great Club. Some acknowledgement of that would have been appreciated. lee MMCC Sec.
