Exploring Missouri Backroads via Honda Helix

[@blipco5]

Hahaha, nothing stops the rain like finally putting on your rain suit after you've already got soaked. 🌩

[@norith4300]

[@uwex77]

[@slo0215]

Safety meeting 👍👍🧡orange looks good on the Helix!

[@LuvMyTJ]

Safety meetings are important! Stay safe and happy trails!

[@Mattenmarie]

Great. Makes me want to go out on my Helix.

[@gabriele8755]

Hi, I wanted to ask you, have you ever had starting problems with the clutch tearing with this scooter both cold and hot. Mine tears a lot, I wanted to understand if it happens to others too, thanksss

[@Lloyd-mo]

nice music too

[@Lloyd-mo]

i just picked up a 93 helix. gonna be a project.

[@thomasscialpi8330]

love the music, is there a link where I can download

[@Kinglegend-nq9dp]

Ain't nothing like a scooter

[@wjay2k]

Cool video, curious what kind of phone holder you have and what was the orange thing on the handel bar

[@charlesdrums]

You got the video without the music? Nice

[@TheCraftyTech]

safety meeting lol

[@billbohner4374]

First time to your channel, really enjoyed the video and commentary. Thanks

[@samhyde6395]

Nice music choice.

[@shsjsjsjsjsi6479]

Your voice is very satisfying to watch and appreciate your narration and you let video

[@arturorodriguez2234]

Thanks for the video.... Really appreciate it... Cheers from south Texas 🤠

[@DragosRDS]

Great video !!! I just bought a 1997 one and your video is also the reason why :) , hope I will enjoy it. Salutations from Romania.

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Thanks! They are really great scooters! Best all around bike in my opinion!

[@123edwardzpad]

I would love to cruise the back roads of Romania. For some reason this brings to mind that Spartacus was actually a Scythian which would make him a Romanian today. I believe. Romania and Croatia are my number one desired travel destinations in Europe, outside of Scotland. My mom is from Scotland and that is where I wish to go 1st. Anyways, happy trails.

[@DragosRDS]

@@123edwardzpad Eduard the scythians were georaphicaly located in today's Ukraine the very border of Romania. Our country is one of the last wild places to ride offroad in Europe into the mountains. Here it is still alowed. It is wonderfull, wild, remote, the landscapes are breathtaking and the people friendly and hospitable. It is a very nice destination for an adventure rider and I say that you have the posibility to do you, you should ! Thank you

[@123edwardzpad]

I seriously enjoyed the video. I am thinking about picking up a 94 helix with only 22 000 miles on it. It could be a camera angle effect; I am curious do the mirrors act somewhat as wind defectors for your hands? Your music selection is seriously kick ass good! Watching you cruise, where, through, and how you did, really sells me on the Helix. Safety meeting. I love it. I was literally cracking up. Anyways. I know the travel blog is 2 years old I just wanted to leave a comment, show my appreciation. I subscribed your channel just to see what else cool you have going on. If you have any suggestions on what to look for or avoid when looking to buy a Helix? It would be appreciated. All my research points to it being classic Honda reliability. Thank you. Hope all is going well.

[@petergunn9149]

How much are they asking for it 👍 I am thinking about getting a helix there asking 2000 for it 8500 miles on it’s a 99

[@123edwardzpad]

@@petergunn9149 $2,500. They want. I am sure that I can negotiate that down a 10 to 20%. It is worth paying more for a machine in excellent condition, in my opinion.

[@markcouch4235]

Just discovered this bike for sale - might have to get one eventually - greetings from Pike County

[@tombstone2826]

My scooter is my daily driver takes me all over the place just no freeways ! very dependable and the MPG is the best !

[@DaFanky]

What tires do you use?

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Safety meeting? Were motorcycle gloves discussed?

[@AJGaitherOMB]

I do not think they came up at this particular meeting...

[@jamiebetts3923]

I have just got one of these Honda's. Because of watching your videos thank you my friend. From the uk.

[@AJGaitherOMB]

They are the best!

[@wjay2k]

Also curious how you are charging your phone

[@AJGaitherOMB]

I just added a 12v socket in the glove box

[@Moon__Zombie]

How did you mount your phone?

[@AJGaitherOMB]

It's just a generic phone mount I found someplace.

[@lewi4117]

Yoyoyo!!!! Awesome video! That looks like a good ride!!!❤💚💜💙💛🛵🛵🛵

[@TheZom1965]

Dig it

[@julianmorning]

Kansas City native here, just redid my og ‘86 Helix. Got some pics and video on ‘KC Scooter Riders’

[@greenkeeper448]

I hope everything was OSHA approved at that meeting.

[@glenmiller7294]

Wow, I have a cousin that lives in Richards, MO. !!!!

[@glenmiller7294]

I was born and raised in Peculiar, MO :-) Looks like you may have gone thru Freeman as well, the oil tanks, etc.

[@CREUS-x4k]

Hey buy great video and awesome bike. Wish I had one

[@chadschrum1306]

I live in Missouri this looks very flat from my area which is 65 miles south of saint louis

[@shaunh2195]

What kind of tires are you using?

[@conservative457]

What phone mount do you have on this video

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Dunno, it's just one I picked up cheap at the local swap n shop for like $5....

[@conservative457]

@@AJGaitherOMB thanks quick question I just bought one 1986 how often should the oil be change if I used full synthetic

[@AJGaitherOMB]

@@conservative457 dont use synthetic, and change every 1000 miles, there is an indicator on the dash, green square turns red.

[@rochrides8730]

where did you get the phone holder

[@pauldub5767]

How did you mount your phone?

[@Edwinbraun20]

I love your bike mate.

[@seanmcgivney7631]

Loved it! Thank you.

[@SchleighSimeon]

How is your phone mounted

[@derrickmeno7586]

Lol safety meeting. ..3 a day

[@LockRocker]

Safety first!

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Always!

[@g.8222]

Good morning!

[@SchleighSimeon]

Awesome video

[@thomas4315]

Really nice, do you think it could fit on the back of a 1994 Ford van.? And can you lift it off the ground? Long ago I had a Honda hawk 400 and it still was 400 lb LOL

[@AJGaitherOMB]

A Honda Helix is a 250cc bike, I'm not sure it could be lifted alone...

[@thomas4315]

Big engine, more of a bike that a moped, but maybe one side at a time. But I try creglist, Iam in Honolulu, maybe, thank you.

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Its definitely not a moped, as it does not have pedals. It would be classed as a scooter or step through motorcycle as it requires license and insurance. The step through design seems to make most folks clump it in with the mopeds, despite them being very different. This is the same length as a Harley Sportster, and same displacement as a Honda Rebel...its just a different design really...it gets up to 70 on the highway like any other motorcycle that size...

[@ACoustaDC]

Rain on a helix is like a cold bath for your balls. It just pools up and soaks em.

[@AJGaitherOMB]

I know right! It's the first place I notice water every time! I'll be going along, thinking, this little fairing and windshield really keeps the rain off! And bam! Cold wet balls!

[@ACoustaDC]

@@AJGaitherOMB to me that is the only flaw of an otherwise perfect motorcycle. I love my helix

[@AJGaitherOMB]

@@ACoustaDC same, best bike I've ever owned by far

[@broncobillee]

Noticed at the end your helix was up to 72mph. did you do something to make it go faster? Mine goes about 65 :(

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Just keeping it tuned up and maintained proper...

[@wjay2k]

Mine also will only go 65

[@DrowningBurrito]

What songs were yuans in the vid

[@evvignes]

Was that you singing?

[@DaFanky]

What tires do you use for rainy weather?

[@AJGaitherOMB]

Perili SL26 was my go to, but they became unavailable, so now I run Bridgestone Molas
