Riding Our Junkyard Motorcycles Over 100 Miles For Ice Cream...Sort Of

REDEMPTION! We ride our junkyard motorcycles over 100 miles to go get ice cream! This is a follow up to our last video where we bought these bikes and had them running in 48 hours! In that video we only made it 40 miles but now we are doing some work to the bikes to make them go the distance.

So what should we do with these bikes next? We definitely have an idea but want to hear yours!

[@kristiansandsmark2048]

Restore them cosmetically on a budget, and see who can sell the bike with the most profit.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

@kristiansandsmark2048 Although that idea could work on another set of bikes, it sort of goes against what these bikes are all about. We're in it for the fun and not making money on them.

Cheap bike makeovers are my favourite content. Great projects - Great trip .

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

🤘🤘 glad you enjoyed!

[@GearHeadGeeks]

What make that so much fun is you have to rev and shift and you can wind out the gears without getting arrested. Those bikes deserve a really cool makeover.They did your proud.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

So much fun! We got up to like 65mph lol

[@leon0]

They do deserve a make over. Not factory restoration. I was worried about you welding an old ally casting, especially when you have a spares bike, and disappointed you didn't grease the head bearings. Really, doing proper repairs just makes sense. You'll enjoy the bikes so much more. I'm sure Seth didn't really appreciate continually topping up his oill because his bike was leaking so much. Not changing gaskets is a false economy. Still, it could encourage him to get a real old triumph.

[@gregorymcnear6474]

Agreed do them justice

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

@leon0 In every single other video we focus on proper repairs, maintenance, and looks. These projects are not about that right now as the mission was making them run from a junkyard. We couldn't have known about the oil consumption when we got them but that has stopped. We didn't grease the bearings because of what was said in the video. This video departs from the normal content that you can see on this channel where projects take months/years and people get upset they have to wait for updates on them.

[@GearHeadGeeks]

@@BrickHouseBuilds I think the best part was you did just enough to get ice cream and back. But they are running and it would be cool to give them a new life without going crazy. It would be a good example of how to take a rough bike and make it decent, not perfect. Just a thought.

Shocking. You are normally so detailed, thorough, meticulous, precise and then this happened. Well done! I was thinking bring a tow rope. At a minimum split the cases to see what we see. Finally, ask Honda for some compensation for the great documentary. Honda testimonials.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It's a lot of fun to just make it run and not sweat the details every once and a while 🤘

[@XJRabbits]

Great redemption. I’ll have to go up 79 from Louisiana to Hannibal again & back. It just sucks there’s that hour of farmland in between. No ice cream?!? The whole set up was a sham. The amazing relief on a hot day that only an ice cream or shower beer can provide, and it wasn’t available. I think I would have stopped at Culver’s and topped the pastries off with a fudge Sunday. Cheers dude!! Well done. You deserved the scones.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Dude Culver's was across the street but we had already committed to this place! The AC wasn't on so we didn't even get to cool off lol

Here in Australia, in October we have a charity ride called the scrap heap adventure ride. It raises money for Down’s syndrome children. The bike can’t cost more than $1000. The scrappier the better. I found a cheap gs500 and my mate a Honda ct185. Looking forward to it.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

That sounds like a great time!

[@leon0]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks to you both. Laughed when you found out there was no ice cream. That's exactly the kind of mistakes of make. But please, a little more mechanical sympathy with these old girls. Fork seals, grease all the chassis bearings, fix the oil leaks. Proper regulator rectifiers for reliable charging. By all means keep the patina but make them work properly. Then go on a camping trip, carrying tent, cooker and bedding. That would be a hoot. And a memory for you both for life.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed. I'm assuming this is the first of my videos you have seen which is great. The mission here wasn't perfection like everything else we work on. Definitely check out the backlog of over 350 videos where I go to max effort to do everything perfect.

Just want to say I love tge quality of your back roads over there...ours are, in general, atrocious!! In fact, a lot of our highways are not as good as those roads you were travelling. Guess it comes from having the same land mass size, and about 7% of the population lol

Luckily many of these roads have been redone within the last 10 years. Many can get rough but we fortunately do have many that are well maintained. To me, Kentucky has some of the best as far as quality

Do you mind me asking why you would swap out a disk brake for a drum brake? I was under the impression that disk is better. I know you originally wanted a drum for the simplicity during the 48 hour challenge but now that you are past that, why switch? P.S. The "jig" you made for fixing the triple was genius.

Sure, I could see that. Maybe a power wash, something for the seat comfort, tighten up the bolts, secure the battery, continue the tune up. And then. Go get some ice cream. Doesn't need to be so far. ~ another video of another ride in the sunshine or maybe an evening ride with the girlfriends ~on their own bikes of course. But ya gotta get some ICE CREAM. 〰✨🙏🍦✨〰

The frame came with rubber bungs at the front of the tank

Right, which I didn't have so I made something similar

[@fizzy49cc]

Apart from the initial tank mods 🙄& not 🤬greasing the head bearings. For some reason this annoyed the p155 out of me. I really enjoyed this project. I grew up fixing/learning on really bad free or cheap mopeds & small bikes. BUT I always cleaned them as it was easier to spot leaks, work on & pride. I fixed them up as best I could with whatever stuff I had available (again usually given to me). The point being they still looked bad but worked (mostly). May I suggest (part 3) going through both bikes properly (spend a few bucks) get them reliable, clean but NOT restored. Then a big trip to a classic resto show to upset the matching numbers guys. Also I found the biggest failing was usually electrical (or carbs) so why not make a new loom ? I'd watch that 😎BTW after years of big fast bikes & cars I now drive 1999 diesel car & ride old VFR's. Plus fix up (not restore) 70/80's small bikes for fun. Circle of life brah. Well done guys.
