[@CarsandCameras]

Y'all really did this bike justice, from a resto and production point of view.

[@connorssmallengines6663]

I knew you guys were watching!

[@Hagerty]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@jasondk5127]

Oil drip, it'll be fine!

[@iancameron198]

[@CAHelmer]

Camera and editing crew deserves a huge congratulations David. Enjoy the stop action with the parts moving and the vintage add voice overs. Truly a great team effort. Keep the videos coming.

[@slick4401]

Yes, it is truly first-class work.

"Some don't believe in growing old" This quote can't be more appropriate. Watching Davin having fun with this iconic machine after all of this fantastic job will just *never* age.

[@bleudogboston]

I still have my 1970 CT 70. My dad bought it for me new when I was 9 for 300 dollars. I always said I would restore it when I retire. Thanks for the video these bikes hold a big place in my heart. I think I put 6000 miles on it in the yard.

[@harleyausten]

I had a gold one when I was a kid. Little 3 speed! Lived that bike!! 👊🏼🇺🇸

[@Jeff_Klein]

That’s what happens when a group of talented people get together. Amazing job.

[@brianblair6747]

My Dad had 2 and I loved driving them growing up as a kid!

[@Danutzz2010]

I watch these videos for a long time, the quality of the edits amazes me everytime.

[@jirka87]

This guy is more skilled, than McGyver. He is awesome. Give him a time and he can repair or rebuild everything from car and motorcycles to space ship. No matter 4stroke, 2stroke, diesel or petrol...INSANE skills. I love this.

[@TheCbxmaster]

That might just be the best video I’ve seen on restoring rebuilding.

[@WorkshopRebuild]

Great work Davin, another restoration checked off! The editing is insane and it's nice to see a variety of projects, not just necessarily cars. Keep them coming

[@anthonycassata5152]

I was 12/13 in the very early 70’s and knew another kid who had one of these and I wanted one sooo bad. This is so cool, super job on the restoration. I forgot all about these. I’m in my mid 60’s now and if I could find one, I’m sure would cost an arm and leg, it would be cool to share with one of my grandsons, na, I’d keep it for myself.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnstorer159]

This puts such a smile on my face. My first motorcycle was a Honda Z50 passed down to me from my mother. I think it may finally be time to bust into my dad's garage, bring it to my house, and get her ready to roll when my daughter gets old enough. Cheers guys!

[@ronreitz2399]

What an incredible series of videos on the Trail 70. Thank you taking us along on this rebuild! I had a Honda QA 50 and a older friend had the Trail 70 back in the early "1970s" this really brought back a lot of memories! Thanks again!

[@Леха-л2ш]

I swallowed my tongue, no words. Perfect hands and video editing. I love your channel, although I am from Russia, but I have never seen such high-quality content. Thank you from my soul that you and your channel are Super !!!

[@Gynotai]

I had one of those as a kid. Loved it! Mine was a 4 speed, which I was told was rare. Too bad I sold it what feels like eons ago, Best of luck with it. Cheers!

[@N-Scale]

That was really an outstanding build on a relatable Icon. So happy to see one restored the correct way !!!! Thanks so much for this one !! I am headed to the garage to work on the 2008 Mustang Bullitt. Mike Fifer

[@rgd2598]

Brought back some big memories....I had the first year trail 70 within 3 months of them being introduced. It was a gold one and had the three speed auto clutch. My dad paid 311.00 out the door for it....I had to pay him back, by mowing a bunch of lawns.i rode the thing many of a mile through the orange/ grapefruit groves in the Rio Grande valley (south Texas)....and later in the desert on the outskirts of Del Rio Texas. ( my dad was a Border Patrolman). Thanks for the memories compadre!!!

[@marcryvon]

As a kid, I was dying to have one. We were quite a poor family though, so no way I could get. But, years later, when I started college, I bought a well worn out Cub 50 from a friend. I did as Davin and took it apart, cleaned it, putbin new rings and brake linings. That’s it. It took me dependably through collège without a single glitch. I gave it to my younger bro who rode it through college too ! Incredible lil’ machine !.

[@ZACHATTACK9696]

I don't know what you're paying your camera man/editor but I think he's due for a raise. Fantastic video!! Enjoy that bike

[@caseyfitzpatrick5024]

Amazing. I grew up in Iowa in the 1980s and had a Trail 70. It was the best!

[@claudearchary8600]

No boasting, very modest but the best time lapse content I’ve seen in ages, let alone a free to view KZbin channel. Honestly I this is premium quality entertainment you won’t find on paid subscription television, or at lest you’ll spend a lot of time searching for it. Great work.. !

[@bigalphadog5209]

I had one to ride back in the day, my oldest brother just came out of the army and got a job working on this lady‘s 600 acre estate, it was 1971 I just turned 11 years old my brother rolled out two of those for me and my other brother an sister to ride around the whole estate with for the rest of the summer best times and great memories., God bless it he’s still alive..,

[@donparker1823]

Those little bikes are so fun. I can't ever stop smiling whenever I ride one. I've never seen a restoration this good before. Nice work!

[@Cartier_specialist]

When I was 14 I owned the full size manual transmission version of this known as the Honda CL70. It was blue and silver. Many memories were made on that bike.

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

That is so cute, it'll put a smile on your face every time. I love that you guys treat every engine no matter what size with equal respect. True professionals.

[@arthursmith5409]

Always living for the time lapse and first start! Memories coming back, I brought two of these back from Japan in 1989 after service in the Marines. I drove these little bikes all over Iwakuni. Lots of fun. You always do a super attention to detail, job.

[@thatguyoverthere531]

The edits on these get better and betterment

[@lucascady4992]

Had one of these in 1989 when I was 8 and my sister was 11! Very cool bike, had a horn, turn signals, mirror's, and speedo!!!

[@arielthomas6983]

Back in the 70s we had one of this at home, very fun to drive as a kid, good job!

[@toddruch2744]

Oh the memories this brings back.. thank you.

[@longrun-yoshi]

懐かしいダックス。見事なスキルに完璧なレストア。テキストになるような映像に感動しました。

[@555Trout]

This video production is extraordinarily well done.

[@JMKGarage]

So satisfying to finally watch this entire build as one time lapse start to finish!

[@dannmarceau]

I loved My 1971 CT70, same color, 4 spd clutch, I learned how to operate a clutch on that little bike 50 years ago.

[@craigm.9070]

That is one happy Honda going into its second life! Nice job everyone!

[@FrenchRenovation]

Incredible work and video production!! I love it!

[@bfarm44]

Supper groovy. The bike I always wanted but couldn’t get when I was a kid and now forget it everyone thinks they are worth a million for a bare frame. You did this legend some serious justice. If you ever get bored I’ll stick it right in my living room

[@drvonschwartz]

Omg! This was my first bike. That little thing could barely get up an incline, but gave me some of the best times of my childhood.

[@scootosan]

Amazing how those Hondas seem disassemble and reassemble themselves when you're not there. What is old is new again... great result. Nice editing as well.

[@DonMachado]

It belonged to my friend who's family had two, but as a kid I would right one all the time. It was my first mini-bike until I got my own Honda XL 70 (which was also orange). Still holds a place in my heart.

[@janmartens7954]

Wellll that’s a proper restauration! Reminds me of the time I was a kid and working with my father on these mopeds

[@ronaldlapointe1219]

Hi Davin, I watched your videos with great happiness and it is with great pleasure to see you realize the rebirth of a magnificent little beast of my time ...

[@JMKGarage]

Awesome to finally see this thing back together and running. Great work as always Davin, and to the film/editing crew for their awesome video!

[@zacharyvought5597]

The level of skill necessary to rebuild a machine like that is remarkable. Then I think about the engineering to create a machine like that is mind blowing

[@blackmax52]

I owned a Honda trail 70 and I cannot tell enough how much I absolutely loved this video and thank you so much for taking me back down memory lane!

[@doublel7337]

The CT70 was a great little bike, I worked on them at the local Honda shop. I believe they came out in 1969. Davin this is one beautiful bike, Thanks for the memories!

[@Recklesshade]

Best video yet. Amazing filming and project. Thanks!

[@kennethfisher3079]

That video was way cool. I had a trail 50 when I was a young lady back in the 70's.

[@efill345]

Супер реставрация! А качество съемки и монтажа вообще поражает. Вашими видео наслаждаюсь, часто пересматриваю просто для удовольствия. Hello from Russia 👍

[@cobraninetysix3883]

Gorgeous..... awesome Job! I had the exact same bike when J was a kid. Acquired it at 13 years old and it barely ran. Bought the Honda service manual and a $15 wrench set and rebuilt the motor and it ran like a monster. Although I’m not a professional mechanic; I did attend a trade school and learned how to wrench because of that bike. And to this day I do all of my own work because of that bike. Love it, I have to find one if these to restore! I would ride is in the rain, the snow, you couldn’t get me off of that bike. I wish Honda would to a retro like they did with the monkey bike! Great Job, Happy New Year!

[@pablocespedes5880]

Excellent job! Nothing like a trusty Honda, they are like old friends!!!

[@markchapman2585]

Awesome video. My dad said these thing were so reliable. He said he tried to show off infront of some girls and ended up hitting a parked pickup truck. But he said the engine still ran great.

[@giveswings8786]

Ждал это видео ! Отдельное спасибо операторам за работу, это волшебно!

[@leontevich94]

Просто невероятно как преобразился этот gasoline bike. Всë настолько досконально было реставрировано что теперь эта хонда теперь новая. Невероятно талантливо и красиво! You the best

[@bobwells1517]

Beautiful job. I've wanted one since 1971. Someday...

[@UGA.D]

Perfectly rebuilt, filmed and edited. And MAN what a bike. Thanks for this!

[@RestorationObsession]

That is a sight to behold! One of my favorite little bikes from back in the day. Davin, you are a masterful restorationist!!! I've enjoyed so much happiness watching this build. 💜

[@helmysetiabudi9915]

When i was a kid, those 70cc engine were so reliable, that almost every small displacement Honda bike in Indonesia, used those engine design as a base for development. This video brings back many memories back in the old days Love it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@daffyduck9901]

We all had bikes in the old neighborhood back in the day. One of my buddies had a 2ed bike the CT70 we used to call it the toilet seat 70. We'd beat the ever-loving s**t out of that thing for years and it still kept running.😍✌️

[@Rumplestiltskin777]

This was so awesome and brought back memories of better days ! Thank you

[@kellyherald1390]

I learned to right a motorcycle on the Honda CT70 when I was a kid. The one I rode had a manual clutch. My dad loved that bike too because he would just putt around outside the campground in second gear at idle.

[@alfredocarpaneto5976]

Best total rebuild video I have watched on YT. Bravo gentlemen.

[@KGTX512]

This will go viral. Calling it now!

[@tim0025]

Hi! Very good summary of this long project, the music was just right! And Davin was back in his youth,just look at that big smile! I remember my youth when I did my first rides on a moped. But in order to ride, the moped had to be repaired a lot.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

Get'cha motor runnin - Head out on th' highway - Born to be wild!!! This was a cool series, brought back a lot of good memories. Good Job Davin, and your videographer deserves a raise!

[@beechproduction220]

I might not care about bikes but thsi video is INSANE. Perfectly paced, YES

[@harleydavidson6851]

Myyyy God! Memories! Theee Best times Ever! 70's ROCK BABY!

[@stephenwilliamson4556]

This is my third time watching this video. I love it! The advertising voiceover in the background with the music suited this restoration perfectly. This one, and the Ford Flathead V8 are the ones I keep watching over and over.

[@damiand4835]

I’m restoring my 1969 Honda Dax ST70 and your videos really helped me . Fantastic videos and work 👍👍 exceptional eye for detail and Thank you . Hi from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 😀

[@moiaredhawk]

Insanely awesome...I just bead blasted a trail 70 frame for a customer at work last week. I had to look up the trail 70 I hadn't been around them for over 15 years.

[@craigwiess1656]

Got hold of a barn find 1972 CT70H. Carb looks extremely clean, oil like new, chain was rusted solid. Cables are in decent shape, repaired the wiring. After removing the chain it kicks over, needs new points and exciter coil. Seat was chewed up from mice.

[@manuelgonzales6483]

Now that was AWESOME!!! THANKS. ❤😃❤ You looked so happy cruisin' on that baby 😅

[@costaboy337]

That chain play @ 8:18 is scary...awesome job on the build Davin

[@ReadTheBible8]

Man what memories you brought back. Thanks.

[@Auguste88]

So satisfying! This have to be the best production bike ever made. It ignited my passion for bikes as it did for so many kids around the globe.

[@ThiagoAbelhas]

WOW!!! Next level production. I love Hagerty stop motions!

[@hikmahdarusalam8077]

[@vincetugg25]

The editing on this video is amazing love it

[@MyGorilla1]

WooooW!! What a great job, even with the post prod! Amazing 👏🏼 From France with passion and respect ✌🏼🇨🇵😎

[@Spudnik15]

Was such a long wait for the time lapse but worth it, CT 70 was my first bike and really bought back some good memory. had a 71 and a 75

[@exothermal.sprocket]

That's some fantastic video editing work. No small feat. Awesome job on the restoration and you captured the pure joy of riding a motorcycle. Wish more people would ditch the brick and get on two wheels.

[@americancitizen405]

You guys have had that bike for a minute!.....Nice to see it rolling!

[@orks_media_relations1876]

This is one of the best videos of this kind I've ever seen . Be really proud of the photography and editing, and as always the build.

[@paulstan9828]

Brings back fun memories. I was lucky enough to get to ride one of those years ago!

[@Cartier_specialist]

The camera and production work required to put a time lapse video like this together is legendary.

[@santiagomartinez157]

Nice to come home after a long night of work crack a beer and just zone out watching this!

[@Nickdrivesatnight]

The video magic and the mechanics experience makes it look so easy.. GREAT WORK, and GOOD VIDEO EDITING 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Earliest I have ever been to watch your videos ( even beat the notification ) 😲 ! Great stuff Davin !

[@coblass]

Beautiful! Honda had a great idea with those. If that comes up missing, I know absolutely nothing about it.

[@martinryzak8011]

You meet the nicest people on a Honda

[@TheCeki1982]

In Europa these were named DAX! Over here in Belgium we have many & pretty fanclub's! It's all about the joy, pride, sound, smell and bringing people together! Some Amsoil 10w30 straight from the States and these bikes run forever!! The metric, or Dominator. But FIRST sae 30 to break in the cylinder. Grtz

[@bradkeskey]

On a scale of 1-10 this is a 20 video. Best restoration of anything I’ve seen. Well done

[@arthurstube]

Absolutely great editing 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@yamahasuperbike2202]

Absolutely beautiful little Honda.

[@ericbennett-wu4zx]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Masterclass building, editing, ideas, mr Honda would be proud.

[@BoBBaB0oN]

The patience those mechanic had for working together with the camera crew for the stop motion scenes.

[@xapaiz]

Imagine this beauty in a showroom floor back in the day. Pure class!

[@architjones3280]

Love how it looks like you're painting on the chrome there on the reassembly
