Why she does this sound ? ( i like the sound)

Get er done!

Time for some elbow pads lol

Ouch 🤕

Looks so fun!

Did you switch to power steering fluid or kept using ATF4?

For the millionth time I've watched your videos, Ben, I salute the clarity, the audio, and especially the angle of your camera, so that the view ahead is full and ongoing, and the view of what you're riding is periodic and non-invasive. You give the viewer the sensation that they are on board with you. Thanks from a bunch of us who don't have your activities, yet admire them.

Yikes Ben!😮

Was thinking of buying one, how do you like it?

How often does it Need an oilchange onroad use? And how is the Rest Abort the Intervall of the Engine? (Sorry for my Bad english)

More peugeot 505 content please

I hope to one day be like your dad I have been buying tools now for 3 years I’m 24 and it’s my dream to be in his shoes he seems like a great man and deserves everything he has hard work pays off loved the video! Love from New Mexico

What trail is this

Been waiting for more 12 valve truck content, woo hoo! Bring it on.

great rip- great place ;-)

Where is that?😊

I shit my pants often too!

What kind of windshield was that? Original Yamaha Touring or?

Turning the bars around like that are going to dramatically change the handling. I would suggest getting a different stem. By no means do you want the bars behind the stem like that.

gorgeous out there

Not a small hike to get to, but have you ever tried the couple trails coming right from the top of Black Mountain? Looked pretty well groomed from what I seen.

very nice shop only missing a bathroom. He worked very hard for all of it

Don’t give a e bike to someone under 30

meh ~ 25 - 30k for a glorified golf car? ~ No windows really figured for such cost? There's no trail in this vid my first 4 seat, with course tires ('89?) Club Car didn't do. And it had a ball washer for them hot days. (-: ~~~ Seats back to back all convo can be heard, well yeah..18mph. Fast 'nuff on farmland trails with my lifted chubby tires jobbie. ~ People purchasing these rigs farked things up not forcing companies to block out the weather as standard equipment. eesh, taking cover from Red box storm wasn't the greatest deep woods. ~ Move to smaller trees area 'n crack a brewski in prayer..as the smaller forest folded over forty meters off.

If you took 10,000 expert riders and cut off a thumb and a couple fingers, 9,980 wouldn't make it down there like you. You are so brave and resilient Ben.

For fuck sake! Felt my guts overtighten a bunch of times watching this potentially tragic run. Great skill, but Geez, we want you back alive AND whole.

Recently started downhill my self at 53 🤘, great footage man 👍

Should have posted a video of my impossible rear Mitas RockRider with firm mousse swap for that Tubliss a few months ago. I’m sure there must have been some swearing involved.

Perfect ! Thanks for this video

Love the old bikes

We should go for another ride soon.

Two hands on the wheel will.. help so much as an instructor I would tell 90% of people to use two hands ……seams like a non thing ,, but try. It

@Stocky Baldman Have you thought about Plastic welding your 03 WR450f tank your self ? I plastic welded my 03 WR450F Tank using a 40W soldering iron. The kind of plastic on yours & my bike tank & plastics is called (High-density polyethylene) (HDPE) Basically no glues stick to this stuff at all !! I researched all about it before i began . I bought some 30-40cm long Blue thin triangular strips of this HDPE from eBay of wich there was many, its about 4-5 millimetres wide. I used the soldering iron to make a long groove (Trench) along the hair line crack in the tank but i didn't go all the way through the plastic, just deep enough to seal the bottom of the crack & then fold the plastic piled up on both sides back in on its self over the groove i made, a more powerful 100Watt soldering iron would have been better as i kept on having to let my iron heat up after each bit i did. A Heat gun with an attachment making the gun air hole smaller would be better, then you can lay the new plastic down over the top of that groove. I watched every Plastic Welding video on RUclips about HDPE welding especially plastic fuel tanks as i think they are all HDPE on motorbikes at least, I Scoured the internet for all information i could find, i looked into special sealants to put into the tank to seal it from the inside but most of what i could find online was for metal tanks. Anyway after you can sand excess off the area using course to medium to fine sand paper to make it look neat if you want, But it Works !! Just make sure you don't have a one way ball bearing valve on your tank lid breather hose like i did, it would let Air In But Not Out, The Stupid motorbike shop left my bike outside the back of the work shop in 38 Degree Celsius Sun shine & the Tank built up so much pressure it Burst open at the Weakest place - The Repaired Area! So now im gonna have to do it all over again. This time i will use a heat gun with that attachment to make the Gun Hole as small as a thick pen that i bought online & this time i might melt some short bits of thin wire into the plastic along the welded crack just to make it stronger. You just need to make sure there's No Oil or Grease or dirt on the plastic before plastic welding it. If i remember correctly online said that this HDPE Plastic melts at 300 Celsius, you can find some videos about guys doing the same thing to their plastic tanks on RUclips. I hope this has been of some small help to you. Don't forget our bikes hopefully will be worth quiet a bit of money in the future so Keep the old girl, Mine is Totally Rebuilt from the ground up & i even had the starter motor problem fixed by a machinist, the problem was 3 new starter motors kept being chewed up on the shaft spline because on the 03 there is a part that can be taken off the engine without having to remove the whole engine next to where the starter motor engages, this part has a hole in the engine casing that has a shaft go into it, well this hole in the casing where that shaft goes in gets worn so the shaft wobbles a bit, enough to make the starter motor spline not engage tight enough without eventually chewing up another starter motor spline, the machinist filled that hole with aluminium weld machined it back flat then re drilled the hole perfectly & Exactly so now there's no more play & the 4th new starter motor is working perfectly again. sorry if im not explaining it very well but i was told on the phone about it by a Good bike shop this time who was happy he didn't have to remove my new engine and took the part off the bike that needed to be fixed & took it to the machinist who did it, apparently the bike mechanic was so impressed by machinist's work he said he got a hard on... hahaha This is a problem that Yamaha addressed on the 04 and up models, so its an 03 issue only apparently. my new Safari tank has the radiator shrouds built into it making more room for fuel but i rather the look of the old tank with the separate radiator shrouds, so i will have another crack at it sometime no pun intended. I do still have a perfectly good Blue Acerbis 14 Litre tank sitting in the shed that i bought second hand from eBay it came off of a 03 Yamaha wr450f with 2 radiator shrouds, It cost me $330 AUD, i wonder how much it would cost to ship that to you ? im guessing your from Canada or the US & im in South Australia. any way you can let me know if you are interested, i Opted to go with the bigger Safari tank. so now I've got 3 spare tanks for my bike in the shed one still needing to be fixed again. Wish you good luck Stocky.... Brett...

I fearfully check pressures before each ride, and keep the electronic compressor on board. It's the cost of the rims if dented, plus the highway travel to the gravel that demands 20-25 rear and 18-20 front highway, with 14 gravel. Good luck.

All this activity and outdoor challenges ought to serve you well as time ages your body.

I know a camera hides incredibly steep slopes like yours. At least the ground material wasn't sharp rocks if you fell over.

Awesome

Nice

What year is your WR? I had an aftermarket tank on mine and a I’m pretty sure it used the stock seat but I may be wrong. I also think the gas tank is still somewhere in my garage.

When I see this cool non-motorized stuff, all I can think of is the sweaty hell it takes to get back to the top again lol.

My english is not enough to say what I think about your father and his shop.You are a lucky man.

My having now watched a five year total of several thousand videos relating to bikes, focusing on dual sports, adventure, enduro and some cruisers, and also belonging to numerous Facebook groups relative to my interests, I have frequently seen criticisms of great looking bikes. If a bike like yours looks too pretty and nicely cared for, there's often an outpouring of nasty words about how you must never actually ride or do anything challenging. I agree that a great looking bike is nobody's business but the owner's, and encourage you to have it look the way you want. My three bikes get compliments, but not in the bush world. Have you investigated salvage suppliers in North America? It may be be very reasonable.

Shaving 20+lb off a bike is impressive. Always cool to see an old girl fixed up. Just a shame they weren’t rd legal.

Is it worth doing a Clake brake and clutch dual lever on the left side?

Man @23:27 If I had managed to wheelie all the way up that rock, it would have been so easy to go around lying about being a better rider than you guys lol. Not sure how you got a 3hr ride in to 30min with such long clips, it looks like you got the whole trail in there. That really was the perfect trail and pace for a great video. Great meeting you up there.

also thought it was bad, but then I realized that if I pull it harder, it clicks and stays like that, I hope it helps

Bro I did the same exact thing 😭

Nice, that looks so fun

Seriously impressive Ben. You have emerged a highly skilled and capable rider. And if those equal to you were to have their thumb and a couple fingers removed, I vote that they couldn't begin to match your capability. Thanks for taking us along. I could not manage ten feet of any of what you were on, but it was great to be a watcher.

Hey, it good to meet you. Nice video, we should do it again soon!
