@CarsandCameras I love this build. But this engine. Would be a lot better on another KJ cross cart

[@tylerbaldwin1633]

no thanks i don't buy garbage youtubers advertise

[@drinkmorecocacola]

NAME IT DU-BUSSY PLEASE

[@damienthomas6655]

you guys could put that hugely overpowered 900cc motor in a really nice home built crosscart ,and then put something a bit smaller on the go cart ,,CR500 motor in that cart be sick !!

[@damienthomas6655]

Now the Honda was a good buy and the perfect bike for john to learn on,that CR500 Will kill him .

[@Brock_Landers]

So I am 41 now, but I had my first minibike when I was 7 years old. My mom bought me an old minibike with a 5HP pull-start Briggs on it and I hated it. It took FOREVER to start and the brakes were a steel plate that rubbed on the rear wheel to slow down. My mom bought me a newer one and it was amazing. My youngest son (I have two teenagers) is 12 and last year I bought him a 110cc Thumpstar and it was BEAT and smoked like crazy, but it ran great, so he rode it. I recently rebuilt it into a 140cc monster dirtbike, and he's in love with it now. It's almost too big for him now with 16" rear and 17" front wheels and tires.

[@BackYardRedneck]

Sounds really cool maybe when he grows out of it make a bigger frame and add more power

[@chadscatharsis3287]

I had the same brake on my first mini-bike lol. 5hp Tecumseh bright orange called the EZ-Rider

[@bodiewane2294]

Yup had a blue one for ever I put 5 motors and n it traded it got it back moved it all across tx .I had my kids on them two but there 18 an 19 so Iam back to riden buy my self ...😢😢😢😢😢

[@topshopbuildandfabricate24]

I’m 62 and my first mini bike I was 7 also best Xmas I ever had lol I turned into a motorcycle daredevil I started jumping small ramps and if somebody jumped further than me then I would build a bigger ramp and bigger until everyone else would chicken out then I would do it again and again thank goodness I had plenty of spills but never got hurt badly lol

[@fadedlight8596]

20 here.. built a ct200u that was rough put a subaru motor on it 5.0 horse with a torque converter with the riser plate. didnt re gear it. but im getting road tires, a horn, reflectors. I have a mirror and got footpegs with studs. like a little truck but a mini bike like a four wheeler with racks tied a basket with rope onto it so I dont drop my phone or nothin. its so useful I love it because I can use it regularly! also. odd i know for a motorbike. I really recommend thumb throttles. they are much safer and a smoother ride/fuel delivery to me like a pedal.

[@Topofthehilloutdoors]

Having Charles back was awesome.

[@danielschabilion9435]

Wow, that’s an oldie! I still remember watching you guys build this….

[@Brock_Landers]

I hear you Danny. I didn't think that was 8 years ago, but it must've been. I just turned 41 last month and I still love messing with Go-Karts and dirtbikes.

[@robertbelote5273]

I know I'm bringing up an old dead horse but seeing that engine on the rail and that 670 on that cart would be freaking cool.

[@josteincarlsen2905]

Amen brother!!

[@OGMrE]

You guys should do a throwback episode were you burn the shit out of Johns pops garage with bugger welds.... Then do a complete restore of the garage with glowing epoxy floors.

[@jonard7037]

You guys are definitely onto something with the Bug body on a shifter frame....even if its not the Dukarty.

[@seanknisley3137]

"you got some big ones, boy" We're just here for a good time.

[@albertmdh]

This really needs to be a t-shirt...

[@xxturbowesxx]

The Ducarti for sure needs to be taken on a go cart track(maybe even a full size track) or at least 1/8 mile drag racing. That thing is nuts.

[@danielsteger5467]

Who wants the Reviving of the red rod wagon

[@jerrywilcox9890]

Just you

[@NubsWithGuns]

Meanwhile the rest of the world went on with life.

[@IngenTechNational]

I remember when y'all built that! Good ole times!

[@chadscatharsis3287]

Man dad bought me a 1983 Honda Odyssey SOOOO MUCH FUN!!! Man I got some really killer memories with that rig! So much torque! Man what I wouldn't do to have that thing again!

[@JeffKopis]

Man you sure say man a lot.

[@rickshaw3005]

You guys need a burn out pad/ paved drifting area in your backyard..lol

[@dawnfranklin7870]

YES i'm so glad to see you guys ripping the dirt up with the Dukarti once more, have a good one fellas 😁

[@prestonsgarageandgaming653]

I’ve been waiting for this episode forever

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

That Ducati engine needs to go on that real cross kart that you built a little while ago. Saw you on Richard at gas monkeys garages video last week

[@therealcmplx]

Agreed

[@deanoliver5172]

The fl350 odyssey, and really every iteration before and after it (250, 400 pilot) were such 80s icons. I can remember seeing them riding on the riverbed in late 80s when I was 10 and wanted one for what seemed like forever. I have been fortunate enough to have several of each model since then, except for the 400, and still nothing beats the feeling of sliding down into the cockpit, hitting start, and taking off in one. There was a good dude in Kansas years ago that sold new and used odyssey parts, Randy was his name, might check and see if he's still around if you need parts, he had everything when everyone else had nothing. Really looking forward to the future episodes!

[@BSConservativeGOAT]

Those odysseys are super rare. Ive got one i bought in 2008. You guys will love that thing

[@jams_finest]

Putting a body on the ducarti would be great, looking forward to the build

[@electricbloke]

That swap meet looks amazing! I wish we had this in the UK. We don't even have anywhere to ride off road anymore, everywhere has been closed down. You have to own your own land, which is unaffordable.

[@sykwookiee]

Come on over here, we have room...for anyone who wants to do it right...hang out for a month or so...some KZbinrs would probably be glad to sponsor you...there are so many interests on here, from powersports to firearms...just contact them through email and let them know of your interest...good luck...

[@electricbloke]

​@@sykwookieeI would love to come over, but unfortunately I have been banned from setting foot on US soil. I visited Dallas FW area on a visa waiver, but I had a criminal record for growing weed years ago, the American embassy in London wasn't happy with me, and that's why I'm banned 😕 I really enjoyed my time there, I hired a Glock 17 at the shooters club in Fort Worth, and went karting at a place I can't remember the name of? You paid in, and rode the karts as much as you want, they had a 4 lane dragster track on rails as well. I am quite jealous of the motor sports action you have there. I also visited a modified dirt oval at Grayson county, it's crap here in comparison 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GoPowerSports]

Such a great time! Loved the video recap.

[@thatdragon4988]

Coming back after a couple years and holy moly you have GROWN!!! Congrats on the million plus dudes!

[@backyardhacknz]

Fort worth airport is massive! One terminal is bigger than the whole airport in New Zealand. Everything is bigger in Texas! Such a great bunch of guys at go power sports!

[@PiercesTrains716]

This is probably one of my favorite builds you guys have done

[@teltwosheds2972]

Great viewing,so glad i cracked a beer first👍

[@robmanueb.]

I do like all your new projects but I can't help but think I would be happy to see you guys improve your old stuff for the rest of my life! Cheers. Edit, you probably want to look at baffles in the sump and keep an eye on oil pressure. Motorbike engines are meant to be leant into corners, by keeping it vertical you can get oil starvation.

[@mostlyinept]

You guys should upload a blueprint for that little micro kart thing because I bet a lot of people would love to build one of their own

[@CarsandCameras]

Stay thned

[@Jettset80]

That's cool they have real motorcycles there too!

[@ni_wink84]

I’m so stoked you picked up that FL-350!!

[@swedebug2889]

OMG!! The Ducarti needs that bug body! 😍😍😍

[@soarinsoarer1]

Well look at that little beauty the Honda XR 75 I had one as a kid ... wow the memories come flying back

[@drewg8269]

The Ducarti !! This is the peak build that had me following you guys & from then, i haven't missed one built. Keep up the GREAT work fellas 💯

[@burridge911]

Cleanest I have seen that shop in a long time 😮

[@Fast85CamaroLSX]

Always good thing to support all tracks to keep the sport of drag racing living for years to come

[@stephensuverison6803]

The last clip of Ike drifting the ducartie reminds me of y'all's "back in the day" intro 😎so cool!

[@breakitjake579]

That kart is the source of all my inspiration, and what originally made me want to build a small-engine danger machine. Much love, guys, keep up the awesome work, and yall should consider a track day with the Ducarti (maybe with a muffler).

[@craigbowley6783]

That thing is so sick! One of your coolest builds 👌

[@CarterCassedy]

I own a 1989 Honda XR250R so I was hyped to see you pick up the ‘87 XL! Me and my dad just rebuilt the motor and next time I’m at his house I’m putting it in the bike.

[@danf4616]

Hey, I have a 1986 XL-250 just like that one! I bought it new and rode in CA desert for 30 years. Still have it and it still runs. Great bikes. 👍👍

[@user-li1fi4qu5n]

Very cool episode! Little bit of everything. Y'all stay safe on those rides.

[@TheKencoffee]

Would have been a riot to see it go around the race track!!! Well done gents!!!

[@rickybearden4575]

i get a kick out of the fabricating you do and the wild creationsyou come up with keep em coming !!!😅

[@oskarvidarsson3258]

Seeing those pallets at Go Power Sports made think you should build a wood frame go-kart with bicycle tires, mountain bike gears and two weed-wacker engines!

[@stevenkwasniak6494]

Im 22 and my dad had a honda oddesey fl250 I never got to ride it but man watching him, that thing ripped!!! His was older and straight axle tho

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff guys thanks.

[@davidronneberg2643]

Y’all bought it!!!! 🤙🏻 Awe man I can’t wait for that episode!

[@JBAquapetz]

Love that ducarti brace 4:59

[@rottencorpse21]

I think you should put a shield next to the exhaust to prevent getting burned, or an exhaust wrap on the exhaust pipes. You guys are so cool 😎😎.

[@greggory448]

There's a video on KZbin with a Honda Odyssey with a 670 at snowmobile motor.😮it Rips 😮

[@power2thepeople53]

Charles on the drum role!!!!!.... please help him figure it out. Hes worth it.

[@smallmiraclesgarage622]

Love that you got the oddy, had 7 of them in the last 3 years they are so much fun

[@noelwarner1235]

I would rebend that exhaust and definitely add some heat shielding.A higherback seat might make it more comfortable under heavy throttle. acceleration

[@dominicrichardson5546]

Pate swap meet vids are always my favourite. If i lived in the states id love to go to a swap meet like that.

[@colorblind1983]

All hail, The Ducati Death Cart! My ABSOLUTE favorite thing you guys EVER built! I LOVE THAT THING!!!!

[@bruceclark5168]

You guys need to work with go power sports to bring the micro karts to the masses. Out of all the projects I've seen you guys make over the past 8 or so years that's one I'd definitely buy to throw in the trunk of my car

[@berettaboy442]

Love the new edits, way to up the game 💪

[@Knee-ko]

Ike's burnout session at the end - gold !!!!

[@STONEdamexhanic]

A body on the ducarti and some engine upgrades lord have mercy that will be the fastest thing on the track

[@EJ-74]

This brings back some great memories 👍 Love it guys 🔥

[@shk2564]

I literally said “Bugarti” right before you said it! And I was eyeing the Baja bug body from the first second it showed up in the video! 😂

[@frankroll8080]

Hey John quick painting tip from a 30 + year painter instead of using so much tape wrap stuff with aluminum foil it does a great job and a hole lot easier to take off.

[@Robert-ni6ut]

I could see all the future 💡 ideas for that bumper vart Ike

[@GenerationAI2024]

Its called a Dax in Denmark too, just only with 50 cc instead of 70 cc :) Thanks for sharing

[@mattmcdewell131]

i been waiting sooooooooo long to see this finally happen this is one of my fav. builds😊

I had a Honda Odyssey back in the 80s/early 90s. They are a fantastic amount of fun.

So very close to correct use of the words in that sentence. I was going to applaud you for "you're" and "your". But then "were" happened. Maybe next time.

[@chadscatharsis3287]

@@fortyfukinseven Well that fact that you sound like a blue and pink haired, septum pierced he/her from one of these California colleges that would rather get on and sound like an idiot trying to correct someone's sentence instead of a "fortyfuckinseven" year old that would realize it's a typo. But thanks for the comment anyhow it cracked me up!

[@timothywachter3156]

Use car battery to paint. Hook negative to what your painting and the positive to the can and spray. It makes a big difference

[@davidronneberg2643]

Dude the odyssey is such a sick machine, you should definitely buy it!

[@PatrickTolmie-fe1ty]

Good video guys keep it up as per normal

[@nhenderson2094]

Hey Jon, Ike, viewer thoughts as I sit and rewatch the rat rod wagon build. . . You guys should get that driveway paved. . . All the way back to the back. I know you guys have built some epic off road stuff but even it would benefit from a few feet of black top to test top speed. Next challenge. Grab an old wheel barrow and a rototiller with a couple of short chains to run to the split rear axle and get a “limited slip rear end”. Maybe it’s just my dream but it would be sweet to see how you guys would build it.

[@marcogutierrez4283]

I started watching this show because of the Ducati go kart....can yall just keep making videos of this hahaha

[@shaunewing8973]

love it. its alive and better 😀

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Glad to see you grabbed that Honda Odyssey. Let alone the fact that it will be a blast at the C&C Grand Prix but it's also fairly rare. especially the fact that its a 350 and not a 250. glad you guys had a good time...🤓

[@netronet1383]

Chris at Rather B Welding is almost finished with a mini VW bug build. I do like the idea of a body for the Ducarti.

[@rnts08]

Got to line up with something from GHCP and drag race. The ruckus or something maybe. Build engine and exhaust heat shields though.

[@relocatedhypno3498]

@CarsandCameras you guys can look up a clutch for the xr250r. I'm pretty sure there is a Rekluse clutch for those.

[@bradhoffman77]

need to check out the kaw 350 big horn..then let me know if ya want a couple of them

[@travisrose7540]

I think a heat shield for the exhaust would be good. A little close for comfort personally

[@kelevra558]

See i think this is the craziest thing you guys have ever built. I used to have a '94 Ducati 900. I cant remember the exact model it was heavily modified i dont even think it was the original frame. I know the swingarm, front and rear brakes, and fork were from a 2007 1098. The engine also had custom ground cams, a bunch of headwork, oversized valves, stiffer valve springs, super trick Italian polished carbs that didn't even have a brand name. The dude i bought the bike from was Italian and told me the carbs were from a 90s race bike. I believe him because they were probably the best carburators ive ever dealt with. When i sold the bike i put 2 yz450f carburators on it and put those carbs on both my yz450s. Its unbelievable how much power you can get from a really really good carburetor. The difference was honestly kinda crazy. I fell in love with 2009 yz450s. I own a 2024 yz250 2 stroke too. But ill never go to a fuel injected dirt bike too much can go wrong when youre in the middle of the desert. Anyway that old Ducati didn't have a speedometer, just a tack. But i was 6th gear pinned right behind a buddy of mine on a zx10r and he said we were touching 180 mph. An engine capable of driving my 6'5 250 pound carcass and 360 pounds of motorcycle to damn near 200 mph would be TERRIFYING on a shifter cart with no suspension and rear brakes only.

[@NubsWithGuns]

You do know that such a build had been done a lot of times before you saw this one?

[@kelevra558]

@@NubsWithGuns um..no. that actually has nothing to do with what i said. Anything with no suspension and that power to weight ratio is ridiculous. No matter how many times its been done.
