it's so funny to see you in my neck of the woods, I am an old man now but when I was 12 we had bikes like those only really geared for the mountain, 188:1, climb anything and still run up and down the road, 2 speed trans, no clutch, no suspension, I drove one 110 miles across the southern Utah wilderness in 2 days.... lol...

as an addendum: A Co. called Tote Goat" supplied about 40 machines for the Explorer Scouts to ride on the trip, They supplied several photographers for the trip since the article was going to be in a magazine called "Boys Life". Talk about piss poor planning, nobody brought extra tires, people showed up with steel gas cans to carry the fuel for the trip, after 15 or 20 miles the steel cans would rub through from the vibration of the machine (Briggs and Straton 4.5 hp). One fellow was so terrified he held his legs in against the gas tank, they had to fly him out by Army Bird Dog plane, lol... My father and I were the only ones to have different machines with the 2spd transmission and (6.5hp Briggs engines). Each person was to bring his own food, gas, clothes, and sleeping bags, things like sunscreen lotion and mosquito repellant, just the basics, again, lol... The National Guard had supplied the Army Bird Dog plane, which promptly took all the sleeping bags and food and dropped them at the 1/2 way point, a big no-no... No one made it to the halfway point by dark. The machines didn't have lights... A couple of the really unruly kids took off in the dark to look for the bags and food, they promptly got lost and ran out to fuel. By this time Dad and I couldn't stop laughing, we slept warm in our bags after dinner, which was good, did I say we kept our supplies... Those lost kids walked back into camp the next morning, funny thing they were so humble and no problem from then on. One fellow blew a tire, he was the fellow they flew out. We finished the trip, I'm not sure the article was in Boys Life, I was told a number of times to get off the top of the hill, the "Blazer" I was driving was made by a competing company. Dad and I had a wonderful time, I'm not sure about some of the others... Did, I tell you that Dad grew up as a trapper before going to college and how smart he was when it came to surviving in the great outdoors, I miss him very much...

Glad you guys had a fun day. We used to call such riding as "fireroading", referring to riding unsmoothed fire breaks on a good dirt bike, such as the old Bultacos. Can imagine what the altitude was like for you guys living where you do. While I was raised at 4300 feet and spent a lot of time above 9000, I lived for about 10 years at sea level. Thought I was in good shape. Was riding a 10 speed over 100 miles every week. Then I went back to 4300 feet. First hill on first bike ride I discovered what oxygen starvation felt like. Wasn't out of breath... my muscles just burned from lack of oxygen.

fantastic ride. too bad for all of that beetle kill in the trees there. same thing happened near my dads place in wyoming, they had a big fire there because of it. that 420 seems to be about the perfect size motor for a mountain trail bike, it just pushed through everything with ease, even with the added cargo

Isaac it'll be fine a 15-20 mile shakedown ride before the trip would have been a really good idea. TC shaft mishap, under geared, over geared (wouldn't climb), and that hard tail CT = ouch of course! got an idea in mind for that last one... whip up a springer seat for it!! like a door hinge in front, couple bolts and valve springs in back using stock seat could take a lot of hammering away from your butt and spine, might be a real easy-do. it also might make for an easy bolt on aftermarket kit to sell for them. 1.5" taller at the rear of the seat isn't going to be uncomfortable or bad looking. front might be 1/2 taller because of door hinge in there anyway. just don't forget me if you sell thousands of the mofoz allright! seriously, that might be a mod near everyone would want to have, like yesterday.

Great video segment... Beautiful scenery!!! I like more challenging trails than the groomed wide paths here... But that trip through that grassy meadow was a real nice segment, and a good test of the feasability of the performance improvements on these machines. It was an excellent video of how this various equipment does in areas like this... The way to go is the 420 engine ,series 40 torque converter, and a minibike with a decent suspension system and decent sized wheels... I bet that a souped-up 212 Predator with a torque converter, proper gearing and decent suspended frame and good sized wheels would do well on a ride like this also... I really like bikes with front brakes, especially on challenging down-hills...

I've only been watching you guys for about 6 months or so now. Absolutely love the channel. I myself am approaching my later 40's and after watching some of your videos I decided to build a mini. I came a cross a minimoto80 complete minus motor. Picked it up for $30. I seen your video on the 212 swap and had to do it. Ordered everything I needed from go power sports and it turned out great. The max torque clutch is a wheelie machine...lol. I plan on bypassing the governor and doing the stage one build just to see the difference but that's as far as I'm going with that. Really appreciate the info has given me. Maybe I'll get a chance to meet you guys some day to personally thank you. You guys are great and please keep up the get work.

I have a Baja racer/doodle bug minibike with a Tecumseh power sport 5hp and a Gopowersports clutch. My brother wrecked it (he's fine by the way) in my backyard the other day. One of the issues that arose from that accident was a fitting came loose from the side of the valve cover. This fitting is for the the vacuum secondary on the carburetor that is regulated by crankcase pressure. With the fitting loose the lack of pressure held the engine at wide open throttle. I'm sharing this tech tip for you guys and anyone who reads this so that you are aware of this issue. Please make sure you have a functional kill switch if you are using this engine. If your engine develops this problem it could be deadly. Huge fan you guys if your ever in south jersey message me you can come hang out and if your interested have my t bucket go kart project. It's based on a wheelbarrow tub, some lawn tractor axles, and a flathead Briggs 11hp. Thanks, DTook
