Cross-Country on a 50-Year-Old Motorcycle

[@sjv6598]

I’ve seen some dumb things on KZbin over the last few years but this is by FAR one of the best bike adventures I’ve seen. Those quiet roads look great for riding on. I’m definitely going to push myself out of my comfort zone this year and go on some little tours 🙂

[@motorcyclerewind]

That sounds great look forward to hearing about your adventures. Thanks for watching.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

🍿 on the ready!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Loads of fun.

[@jeffwright9431]

My record on a CL350 was 560 miles in one day. That was 1969 and I was just riding between fill-ups because I was almost completely out of money at the end of a 46 day adventure. Got home with 16 cents in my pocket and 8,500 miles of memories.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I would love to hear that story. Let’s connect send me an email to [e-mail]. I would love to talk to you. These old motorcycles are cool but the stories are way cooler. Thanks for watching.

No way that was a fail, what an amazing adventure. This bike is dated exactly when I started riding. Loved that era. Look forward to watching you smarten it up.

Loved your video sir! Your closing comments did make a lot of sense though. In hind side we get to see what we should have known, but at least you did what so, many of us wish we could do at least once in our life. I enjoyed taken this trip with you. God Bless you and your family.

Cool to see a classic bike restored

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching.

[@Bob-xc2us]

WOW!!!! My first bike was an abandoned 1972 CB350 that I dug out of a snow bank where it was laying on its side. I fixed it up and got it road worthy. I then traded it in on a 1981 Honda CM400T. Sold that and bought a 1982 750 Virago. Then sold that and didn't ride again until 2022 when I bought my Kawasaki W800 which is my current ride. Good to see those old bikes still running.

[@motorcyclerewind]

It's cool to see the progression of your motorcycle journey.

[@68M35A2]

Man, we almost have the same history of bike ownership, almost. Pretty amazing how some people's lives are parallel to others.

[@adampoe6139]

My first bike was an 81 CM400T back in 2002. It had a 2 into 1 exhaust that someone put on it. It was held together with bailing wire and a bungee cord wrapped in tinfoil. Dented tank, kickstart only Suzuki headlamp mount and a giant SYF sticker on a green spray painted tank. I rode that beast about 10,000 miles through Arizona over two years. No tags, no insurance, no MC endorsement. I just rode everywhere my 8 dollar an hour job would afford me. Now I am on a 09 Kawasaki KLR. No more long distance winter riding. My last big one was just before Covid hit and going up the mountain I watched the temp go from 28 to 9. I'm either lazy or smarter as I approached 50

[@Bob-xc2us]

@@adampoe6139 My CM400T was a new bike when I bought it and it was a decent machine. The CB350 was a paint shaker and would shake your feet right off the pegs. My W800 is twice the machine. Cheers: BJ

[@dave1135]

I had a 1982 Honda CM400E, got it with 3,000 miles on it when I turned 16. Was on it all summer and put 8,000 on it that year. Rode it until I got a 1976 GL1000 goldwing. Sold it and didn't ride until I got a 1982 gl1200 interstate. Currently have it and a 1999 gl1500SE.

[@BillySBC]

Prior to the late 1970's muscle bike wars, riding a 360cc or a 400cc motorcycle long distances wasn't at all considered unusual. A bike that size was considered a good sized all-around motorcycle. So thanks for reminding everyone that bikes of this size are very very capable machines.

[@motorcyclerewind]

You are right, they are capable machines! The only think I missed on this ride vs the 3,000 mile trip I took on my 83 GPZ1100 was the fairing and the fuel capacity. Thanks for watching

Excellent!! "Nothing to do but do it". The excitement, the unknown, the tension and anxiety and THE REWARD of the ADVENTURE!! There are many cheap bikes out there people. The one in your neighbors garage , on Craigslist or Marketplace. For an amount less than the sales tax on an Ultra Glide you can have your own adventure. Dont wake up 5 10 or 20 years down the road saying/thinking "would've, could've, should've". Craigslist is open right now!!

Wow my friend, there's lot's to comment about. First , I was scrolling & looking for something to view when I came across your video. The reason that I stopped & clicked on to this one, was because way back in 1974 I purchased this bike brand new in tangerine orange color. So you see how happy I was in going back in time, Second, this adventure proves that you have a lot of kid in you, because this type of thing is precisely the thing that a kid would do. They gave the" Golden Globe Award" to the wrong person this year; you deserved it my friend! I quote you "the only way to do it is to do it". What you just showed, is what motorcycling should be all about!! So I thank you my friend for the memories! I thought that this video was worthy of a subscription sign-up, so I did just that!

Watching with closed captions on and, while the bike runs down the road the CC notification "[Music]" keeps popping up on the screen, even when there is no other sound but that 1974 parallel twin. It's not wrong. And 1970s music is just about my favorite.

I was the only one that had any rider experience having owned 1966 Honda sport 50 and then a 1970 BSA Thunderbolt 650. I think there were about 4 crashes/fall overs by the second day. Lots of fun. Over the next couple of years I put about 10,000 miles on that bike. Later I got a Honda 750. I bet those heated grips are nice😜

My first long cross country trip (more than a weekender) was to deliver a friend's CB350 from Chicago and Champaign, IL, to Berkeley, CA, where he had just started grad school. This was June of 1975, and I was almost 22 years old. I rode US36, US40, and I-80. I stealth camped the entire trip, and my longest day was about 700 miles, from somewhere near Duchesne, UT to Donner pass. It took 6 days, including a short day in Colorado where I visited some girl, that in retrospect, was not really interested in me. Ah youth! It was a incredibly fun trip, and I'd do it again, even though I'm 71 now. I also did not ride at night there, except that 700 miler, when there was no place to stay. My luggage was of similar design. Two Boy Scout Yucca Packs slung over the seat, a plaid cotton sleeping bag on the tank, and a $7 orange tent from EJ Korvette. And a Boy Scout cook kit and a Sterno stove. I still have the Sterno Stove. Works fine with a Trangia, with only a slight mod! When you wired the tank cap, is it possible you have lost the venting and the tank isn't feeding?

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for sharing your story! I love motorcycle stories. Thanks for watching.

[@celiaketley5496]

Great video. If the bike was mine, I'd make an ally headlight nacelle, to sit the existing lights as they are and enclose the wiring. The bike looks great as it is, a classic shape tank, stepped seat, high bars and 4 stroke twin (like the original triumph bonneville).

[@motorcyclerewind]

Those are great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching.

[@les5386]

Fun video.i bought a CB350 for my sons first bike in the 90's. I paid $25 for it. It had been abandoned and vandalized. We worked on it together and got it back on the road. You can't kill these old Hondas. I'm working on my Father in laws CL200 now. The motor has been seized since 1981 (the year my son was born).

[@motorcyclerewind]

An incredible amount of these CB360s seems to have appeared on the used bike market over the past couple of years. A model that I never saw in the UK back in the day, and now there are so many that owning one is a bit naff. A lightly stretched CB250 that was very easy to blow up if you went too far and too fast at the same time. The CB500 version was the bike that was a good seller here.

[@motorcyclerewind]

You’re right. These have been popping up pretty often. I bought one last year for $125.

I love Slidell ! Best fried oyster po boy ever was at the union 76 truck stop there. And at the crawfish shack in town, I bob tailed to there and waited for the laundry baskets of crawfish to come out and get my five pounds. I have a 1983 Honda CX650C. I subscribed, but i don't need the poster, ....but good an ya, Slidell...hope all is well down there. (there was a restaurant in a neighborhood on the lake...they had good crawfish ,too; it was a cool place.)

[@motorcyclerewind]

Slidell is amazing, you can get great food at gas stations. Thanks for watching.

[@MegaChuck1972]

I had a 78 and you just couldn't beat it! The electrical system was shot and eaten by rodents, but the kick start worked! That unmistakable 360 sound makes me nostalgic. I dont envy your trip tho, i rode mine in winter and remember that VERY WELL😂😂😂

[@MegaChuck1972]

I LOVE the tank bag!!

I will remember this winter ride as well. Thanks for watching.

[@MegaChuck1972]

@motorcyclerewind I glad you got there safely!

[@geraldscott4302]

It's absolutely amazing you made it that far on that thing. It obviously has aftermarket straight through "mufflers" and it has pod filters on the carburetors. A 1974 Honda CB360 has CV carbs, and with straight through mufflers and pod filters, it would be ridiculously lean. CV carburetors are almost impossible to make work with a super lean mixture because they need intake vacuum, and you don't get much of that with pod filters. They have way too much air flow. I noticed it backfiring several times, a clear indication it is running way too lean. The engine probably overheated and possibly soft seized. My guess it now has very low compression. I am 65, and have ridden over a million miles on 40+ different motorcycles, some new, some pretty ratty. The worst thing that ever happened to me was flat tires. LOTS of flat tires. I finally gave up riding bikes with tube type tires. I once spent 4 days in a motel, a fortune on towing charges, and another fortune to a dealer to replace a rear tire and tube because of a flat tire. Had it been a tubeless tire, I could have plugged it, reinflated it, and been on my way. You are lucky to have roads where you could ride that bike at a reasonable speed and not get run over. I'm in AZ, and other than in town, where most streets are 45 mph but traffic goes 60+, all other roads are 65 mph and higher, and most traffic goes 15-20 mph over the limit. I would never be able to ride that bike here, other than a few places out in the country. Here in AZ, winter is riding season. It will be 110+ degrees during the long hot summer. You can get up at 4:00 in the morning and ride 2-3 hours before the heat becomes unbearable.

[@markcollins5026]

Man, nice I also live in AZ, if you can't at least maintain 65 or more stay off the HWY, or you'll get run over !

[@billarmstrong7155]

You did great! I didnt thiink it would make 100 miles. Stranded in Goss Mississippi, hadnt been through there in yeaars, it looks like they have upgraded their gas station. I grew up in Columbia 55 years ago rode many of those bikes in the courthouse. Great gutsy ride! I always enjoy your videos, never know what you will do next, but wasnt expecting this. I noticed it had a Mississippi tag so it made it home and quit.

Good point! Good luck in your inning the poster. Thanks for watching.

@@motorcyclerewind It's great to watch I used to be an all year round biker and this took me back to early morning rides to work in January in the Yorkshire Dales .

[@motorcyclerewind]

I would love to do a ride around the UK

[@martinowl]

A great effort, well done. Pity it fell a bit short, but that’s the adventure, a pity it was so cold. It could be a rotted electrical cable or dodgy connector. These old Hondas don’t want to die.

[@motorcyclerewind]

No they don’t. I will get it sorted and have other adventures on it.

[@CycleGeezer-cq9lm]

​@@motorcyclerewind Yep! You'll figure it out. Almost sounds like you have a big vacuum leak; like carbs loosened up and causing really lean run. Most likely something minor anyway. Heckuva good effort you put in. Shame you couldn't make the last seventy miles, but at least you got to a distance that was not a great inconvenience for a family member to make a rescue. Great effort and we enjoyed the video! I had a CB360 back in the day. Really loved that thing! It was a jewel. Rode it 13 months out of the year for quite a while. Great bike. Would like to find a decent one just for ol' times sake. Probably a pipe dream. lol Retirement doesn't lend itself to buying play toys! Maybe some day after I complete some of my other projects. Chuckle! 🤭 Again; great video! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@motorcyclerewind]

@cyclegeezer I'm sure its nothing major. these old bikes are out there I bought one last year for $125.

[@whsl824]

We never remember the trips where everything ran flawlessly. It’s the ones where you’re miserably in pain because of the cold, the one with mechanical issues, fuel shortages etc… in part, I felt like I was watching myself in this video lol. Kudos to you, sir. I would call this a true adventure.

[@motorcyclerewind]

It’s definitely the adventures that make you appreciate the smooth rides! Thanks for watching

[@djs4134]

It takes an honest man to admit he bumped the kill switch by accident! BTW some of those aftermarket RH switches are notorious for crappy kill switches. Cool video!

[@motorcyclerewind]

I know! That was the dumbest thing ever. I learned my lesson!🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@garyr5430]

Dude! You are NUTS! Love it!

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s what my wife says.🤣😂🤣 Thank for watching.

[@garyr5430]

We are a ton alike. I have socks that stuff worth nothing that I would walk a mile to get back but.. don't give a crap about things worth 10x as much.

[@ballockybill2277]

@@motorcyclerewind That bike needs some " Oxford Handlebar Muffs" ! All you muff guys know what I'm talkin' 'bout!!

[@motorcyclerewind]

@gary5430 I totally agree!

[@motorcyclerewind]

@ballockybill Those sounds great

[@craiggagnon4013]

Last few years I drove my 250 Honda 800 miles, 3 different time. Respect.

That’s awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@JosephMiller-fu1ww]

Love the sound of the 360. I hung a cl360 engine in an old ca77 frame, just because I had them both lying around. Commuted to work with it. Sounded just like yours. Thanks for the great video

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sounds like a great project, thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching.

[@rogerstephenson5639]

Good on you for sticking with it as much as you did and I think that you made a wise call on stopping when you did. I too hate riding in the cold and I choose not to these days.

[@motorcyclerewind]

It was a tough call but the right one.☝️

[@marclabrecque3823]

Such an underpowered junkyard bike for a far adventure. That took guts . Great video

[@motorcyclerewind]

So much fun. More life left in this old bike. Thanks for watching.

Not sure if it's bravery or just being naive! Thanks for watching
