My Yellow Scooter

[@PeterSmith-kl3wl]

Wow you are a great film maker ,my partner died recently,now I am a solo scooter rider at the grand old age of 70 your film inspired me.Regards from the Uk .

[@nick949eldo]

Julian - what a great and inspiring movie. I stumbled across it by accident, having dived down a Honda Helix wormhole. I watch a lot of motorcycle video (including many of my own), and yours is one of the most enjoyable I've encountered. You really deserve far more exposure than your 2.4k KZbin views indicates. Perhaps some TV station could air it - it's that good IMHO. Good luck with whatever you are doing, but if you're not making movies (and riding the Helix) it's the world's loss. Stay well. Nick.

[@feelmyjulian]

Nick what a sweet comment. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I am definitely not going to stop making films:) just starting to take this KZbin thing more seriously and see where that takes me. As for the Helix, it's waiting for me back in Canada. I miss that thing!! Cheers, Julian

[@500_niko]

Me too with my Honda elite! Now I shall travel the USA with my scooters!

[@DavidHunt-pw4yd]

Totally agree never just a Moto vlog way more beautiful and who can not be inspired by this great guy❤️

[@DavidHunt-pw4yd]

Top stuff Julian too much to say really wonderful editing and story been on some long journey your like one of them rare unique people that I meet when backpacking the sort u never forget. Perfect film😇

[@nefas11]

What a pearl! Came for the Honda and remained until the end for the journey.

[@paulwelkinsdiy]

Stumbled onto your video. Thanks for showing 20,000 people that there is such a thing as quality content on KZbin.

[@LockRocker]

I'm in the states down in Ohio, a few years back I picked up a white 1987 Helix. The Honda dealer here says mine was actually made for the Canadian market, the dash panel is labeled "Fatten" instead of Helix and the odometer reads in kilometers. They claim they are rare and they hadn't seen one in person. That said, it's a Helix and they can get around! I'm not sure how many "Fattens" were made or much of anything else.

[@ScottWiecenski]

The dash panel reading "Fatten" means it was replaced at some point with a Chinese knockoff panel. This is a common part to replace as the speedo plastic gets foggy and unreadable from sunlight over the years. I have an '87 Helix and I had to replace mine as well. Mine reads "Gongbei" but I have seen the "Fatten" ones before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJareWigdrOghtE

[@Scootphoria]

I've had many adventures on bikes from the Elite 250 (similar to yours) up to the Gold Wings. My best adventures have always been on scooters. You made an awesome video friend. People long to do such but never do it. They watch videos like yours to fulfill their fantasies. Then those of us that have enjoy watching it in remembrance of our own and feel joy for you. Thank you for posting and doing an awesome job of editing!!!!!

[@adrianalvarez3949]

Oh, Julian, dude, what a freaking awesome documentary you made, man! I shared it with my Honda Helix crew here in Argentina. It's seriously mind-blowing and incredible, the way you captured not just the essence of the journey, the scenery, but also the vibes of all of us riding these beautiful bikes. Massive props, bro, and thanks for sharing it with us! Big hug!

[@jeremybarniaud5088]

well done brother, I really liked the roadmovie vibe. Beautiful

[@tobiasfricke91]

Man what a trip. High class visuals and lovely story behind your trip with all the voice-overs! I have to get my Helix running again - I'm stoked now :D Ride safe!

[@victorhawkins3461]

I spent some 20+ years of my life writing and producing both public and commercial television here in the States, and this, sir, is as fine a piece of filmmaking as I have seen in quite some time. I, too, am a scooter rider -- a pair of Vespas -- and like one fellow who commented below, I'm now 70, and I ride solo (my partner doesn't ride). There may will be a Helix in my future. (Why else would I have fallen down the KZbin Helix rabbit hole?!). You take care of that beautiful, faithful yellow scooter, Julian, 'cause she sure took care of you. Thanks for a most enjoyable video.

[@dman7857]

Absolutely loved your documentary! I found this while looking for "slow ride home" and I'm glad I did. I got myself a yellow scooter and live in Canada also. You did an amazing job of documenting your journey and inspiring many. Thank you for sharing this!

[@elise10lies84]

You meet the nicest people on a Honda😊

[@UserName-b8g]

Man I am so envious but so happy that you had this experience! A yellow Helix is my dream bike! They look like a wave runner on wheels lol I love it. The only problem is I've never ridden and frankly I'm afraid to ride a big 250cc as a starter bike..

[@carlrutledge3096]

Don't be afraid. I have owned several small motorcycles, but my Honda Helix (yellow like in the video) is the easiest one to ride. Even though I am only 5 ft 6 inches tall, both feet fit flat on the ground. There are no gears to shift - just twist the throttle and it goes. The weight is low to the ground so easy to balance. It has enough power to easily keep up with in town traffic and can be ridden on the highway up to 70 mi/h. It is the ideal scooter. Good luck!

[@sigmondroland]

I‘m just commenting to prove that I’ve been following you when you had 938 followers when you‘ll have a million. Dude, please don’t stop making these. You‘re getting better with each video, and they‘re already 💯👌🙏

Tu est un génie pour avoir ce talent cette vison et l’endurance pour produire cette œuvre d’art. Tellement fier que tu aies release cette video… C’est super inspirant man ❤

[@robertclark9]

I love that scooter. And it’s nice to still see one around in that condition. I’ve got two. A 650 Burgman Executive and a Honda 250 Elite. They can laugh all they want. I’m having the most fun you can get with your clothes on. On cheap reliable machines that sip gas and barely ever break down.

[@maartenvanderwal9704]

Prachtig verhaal / Beautiful story. Thanks so much for making this type of content. I need more of this. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@feelmyjulian]

so nice of you thanks for watching!

[@bubrupamjcb]

Hi Julian, The way you present your story it's amazing. The script, cinematography, color grading, typo everything was so perfect. I'm glad found your video. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I also ride a small scooter (Honda ADV 150) but I didn't do any long solo but maybe now I will.

[@BethePandaGames]

I just found this video today... Came down to the comments to see if anyone felt the same about this sweet movie.

[@Tylerius87]

i got a beatass 1986 junker helix for 450$ about 6 years ago, mainly as a joke because it was so weird looking and i work at a biker bar and thought it would be funny having it parked amidst all the harleys. the joke was on me because i fell in love with the thing and ride it all the time and am now fully in the helix cult. the reliability of these machines is legendary, they are immortal.

[@lukeguerrero02]

The best content I've seen in a while. Love the trip. Love the place. Relaxing and entertaining. What a journey.

[@ismaelgusta7962]

u must do a moroccan trip and go to swira u will not regret it trust me :) but ofcourse with your yello scooter ;)

[@marcusjahnke9287]

What a beautiful video. I recognize a lot from when me and three friends crossed the US in six weeks. In the saddle you are always alone with your thoughts. A lot happened in my mind on that trip, and I changed my life because of it. On Sunday I’m buying a Helix btw. That’s what led me here. And I’m very grateful for that.

[@feelmyjulian]

The endless North American roads can really change you eh. Thanks for watching Marcus, enjoy your new Helix !

[@sounds_like_matt]

"Don't think just drop" from the guy with the obliterated collar bone lolol. Great video. I'm very glad the Helix rabbit hole led me here.

[@travisminneapolis]

Vibes: relaxed Casey Neistat storytelling. ❤❤❤

[@minhtrietle]

Bravo!! Merci pour une superb vidéo. I am also riding a 98 Helix. Your video is very very very inspiring to me to make a long and meaningful trip like you did. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures

[@claudecarrier3269]

Très beau...bon rythme, belle photo, bonne musique, bon propos...inspirant !

[@rangeroadmoto]

My dude! I am so happy I found this. I rode a cross Canada on a piece of garbage old bike. And recently I rode my Honda Elite to the Rockies. Thanks for making the video, really appreciate it. I got videos about both over on my channel.

[@mikekearsley2407]

Wow, great storytelling. Thanks from Seattle.

[@TOURMANBOB]

Wonderfully put together video. You have captured the essence of motorcycle touring at it's heart....wonderful solitude, the feeling of self dependency, and the appreciation of the motorcycle itself and the wonderful roads ridden. At 80 now, having toured for over 65 years with several million km's under my belt, this video brings back fabulous memories of my own trips in years past. Although I still ride, I am restricted to day trips only due ot my wife being somewhat infirm, and it's good to watch this and have those old feelings come back. Thank you so much for your video. It's not the size of the bike but the quality of the ride that counts....

[@vincentcordero7599]

I've literally been thinking about buying a helix for my daily, amazing short film everything about this was amazing

[@Saidagive]

Beautiful work. I’m going to Memphis tomorrow to buy a helix.

Stumbled upon this video via Reddit. Started doing research on Honda Helix’s and this video is to rad. Reminds me of why I love riding motorcycles, especially longer trips like this. Great editing and overall killer vibe. Well done, this inspires me on multiple levels

[@brentshelton2906]

Just happened to stumble across your video. Wow what a trip that must have been. I've always wanted to do something similar. One of these days I'll make it happen. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. It was very inspiring.

I picked up an old Suzuki Burgman 650 and did some touring in the Black hills this last fall. I can identify with some of the things you talk about. Exploration journeys at a little slower pace it's pretty cool.

[@roblackey335]

You don't need a motorcycle's license to drive that just a regular driver's license

[@michaelb.42112]

I saw an episode of Mike Brewer's "Wheeler Dealers" and he had an episode dedicated to yellow car owners and found that they are the happiest people. EDIT : Also, there is a legendary rider called the Yellow Goldwing who rides the Tail of the Dragon on his 1800cc Goldwing bright yellow. This trip looks like Paradise.

[@MrBiggles53]

I had the same model and colour from 2007 and rode out ftom Ohio to Nevada via U.S. Route 66. Got hammered hy continual head and cross winds that twisted my too tall, eye level windscreen I’d just installed. Didn’t consult my mechanic, so the carbeurator wasn’t jetted correctly for the altitude, which drastically reduced its power and speed. And blew the back tire out at 4,100 miles. He took me to see his trailer full of tires and told me my tirecwas only goid under losd for 4,000 miles, then he asked me how far I got on it. If you aren’t a competent mechanic, seek advice from one.

[@voltzw]

just watching this, shocked to see you have so little subscribers considering the quality of this video. keep up the work man. love the scoot. i drive a piaggio myself but want to get a helix bc that sick 80s look. one day:)

[@spellsecurity]

Oh, a Helix :) What a question at the start, "will he make it". Of course he'll make it. It is a Helix, give it gas and oil and it will go out of this world.
