Your brakeless, throttleless minibike reminded me. Me and a buddy bought a go cart for $20. No brakes, no throttle, we knew nothing about clutches. We got it running and the engine would run at full throttle, tire spinning, so we'd put it up on blocks, one of us would jump un and the other would push it off the blocks. It would just run wide open throttle until it died or we ran into something. Lol, good times!
That screwed up MY christmas BUT made the day for two 14 year olds and 1 15 year old who were glued to my pc big screen watching you !!! So a huge thank you for that buddy :) These boys are learning more from your channel than a year worth of schooling. Stay safe and well Mustie and keep the channel turning on young boys to engineering.
That's true you'd learn more on RUclips than in school.
Taught me how to fix a lawnmower!
Some tiny balls😂
As i remember those ST 90's were marketed towards adults as a take along vehicle to have with your camper or motorhome. One of my coworkers back in the 1980's had a pair of them for him and his wife just for that.They were a couple that decided to never have kids of their own so they could travel all over on the weekends and on vacation.
Mustie, you are training thousands of people how to restore a bike so they have something to ride with their friends, excellent for a man and his son or daughter to do together. 15 years ago my 10 years old son wanted a 4 wheeler, so I said he has to learn how to fix it because I wans't . So we bought a Yamaha Warrior in boxes and pieces and he had to do the research to find out how it went together, what parts we needed and if the engine was good. Some of the holes were stripped, so I taught him about tapping and retapping threads, wheel bearings, installation, wiring, battery maintenance, engine rebuild, the whole nine yards. Since then he has been through 4 motorcycles and 3 wheelers. He buys them and fixes them up and uses the profits to buy a better unit. So you are helping to make America great again, LOL, yourself. Keep up the great videos.
At 1:05:00…meanwhile Mrs. Mustie is looking for the electric knife so she can carve up the Christmas turkey……lol
Merry Christmas Mustie ! Thanks for your hard work to provide ME with great learning and entertainment! I worked on a bunch of stuff like you for 40 years. I am retired now. I got some great ideas for my shop from you. The lift table being the greatest! Thanks for that one in particular!
you.🎅🎅🎅🎂💋
Well Mustie1 you have made a fantastic job with this little gem. As always many thanks for letting us along on the journey. Christmas greeting from Greece 😎🇬🇷
Very nice job on this one Darren. I would've loved to had this little gem as a kid. . I had a mini bike similar to this one but with a little 5 horse Tecumseh. This one turned out nice. Merry Christmas my friend. 😁🎄👍

Nothing better than a fresh Mustie video after cleaning up the wrapping paper, kids playing with toys, and the wife is napping.
As a kid I had a CT 90 that I got in a trade for a couple pellet guns and a CB Radio. It was the greatest thing ever in the snow. I hear that honda engine exhuast sound and I'm instantly transported back in time.
Merry Christmas old boy. I subscribe to and watch a LOT of RUclipsrs on a regular basis but your regular Sunday videos are the absolute highlight. Always entertaining and relatable to so many of us. Here's to hoping you stick with it as you bring a lot enjoyment to many folks.
Wow, my Christmas plans fell through the roof, when our hostess got ill. So, left to celebrate Christmas alone with no turkey or festivities, how cool is tis to get a Mustie video to pass the afternoon? Merry Christmas to you Darren, and your family. And all good things to you for 2023. Thanks for an entertaining and enlightening 2022!!
Merry Christmas Mustie. Thanks for all of the cool content the entire year. We appreciate not only you’re keen ability to fix stuff but your editing and filming skills. You’ve empowered us all and we all believe we can fix just about anything in 90 minutes!
Just think, before the internet age you had to have a real background with fixing things, the "heart of a tinkerer" at the very least, but many were afraid and thought basic repairs were beyond their skillset. And now, we have people willingly sharing their secrets and many times they are professional mechanics who, by sharing, are possibly losing business by teaching someone to do their own repairs.
@@Hjerte_Verke the truth is I will never need to rebuild a carborateur or anything else but his easy way of showing and explaining how to do it takes away the intimidation factor. I find it mesmerizing to watch a VW rebuild or weed whacker repair.
@@Hjerte_Verke many years ago my dad started a pest control business after he was laid off from work. Eventually I and my brother went to work for him. We opened up a store to teach people how to do it and sell them the chemicals. We offered free schooling for it.
My dad's premise was right. We taught them how to do it, sold them stuff how to do it, then they went home screwed it up and called us anyway! That was a valuable lesson I learned!
Song Mountain near Syracuse, NY used to have the "Alpine Slide" in the warmer months when I was a kid (40+ years ago). Sounds exactly like what you described. Concrete track, sleds with skateboard wheels underneath that defaulted to the brake position. You pulled a lever to make the wheels contact the track. The faster you went, the harder you ran into the kid in front of you who was too scared to race down the mountain. It was a blast! Thanks for bringing those memories back.
I knew Santa mustie wouldn't let us down for Christmas!!! Now the holidays will be complete!!! Thank you for all your hard work, and great vids all year long!! Merry Christmas buddy!!!
Holidays = Holy Days plus you said Christ-Mass. Let He whose birth we celebrate make your life truly complete
That is not just a motor bike, it is a time machine for Mustie to revisit his childhood. I read a book written by the son of the man who owned Action Park. All his children worked there. There were accidents daily, and some serious. A couple deaths.
Looks way better than it did, fun ride!
I have thousands of hours on that same bike. I'm 67 and at 15 I went all over. If you want to sell it, let me know. Love your work.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas.
im just 4 years older then this bike... nevr had a mini bike when i was young but i did have that bannana seat three speed schwin stingray. gold even just like the one at the end. Great series on a very cool bike.
merry christmas to every Mustie1 fan!!
Oh yeah, my Stingray was the jewel of my childhood. Damn, I should have kept it.
My "victim" was a 1965 Honda CB-160, bought used from a friend. I drove that thing everywhere, through winter and summer alike. Great fun!!
I have had alot of stress in my life lately. Your channel and content is my therapy. You have no idea how much you have contributed to my mental stability. Thank you sir. Your talents are beyond what you think.
That's a very nice little resto job. It's beat enough to use, but straight enough to admire. :)
Mustie1 would make a great school shop teacher and guide kids in good directions. Thanks for all the fun hard work you do
I grew up next to a ski area. All the motorbikes became hill climbers. The toboggan chute where they hold the national championships was fun in the summer with a bicycle and in winter on an aluminum flying saucer. As far as I know nobody was permanently damaged.
Thank you for the GREAT Christmas vid. I am alone for Christmas, and I was so happy to see your vid this Christmas morning. It makes it much less depressing being alone and I thank you for that. I love ALL of your vids!!!! Not only are you A great mechanic but you also are very entertaining. You have A very special talent, A gift from God that you use to help others. I believe that you made sure to make A vid for Christmas because you know that there are some people that are alone and I think that is your way to make them feel better, which you most certainly have!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family and God bless my friend.
46:25 or so.. I live by this theory.. Totally agree 100%, yes YOU CAN look it up today (and you could've gone to the library before, it's there too if you look hard enough) but there's really NO way to learn about things (like this) other than just jumping in and getting it done.. this is why SO many people love you Mustie.. I'm surprised you have so few subs, not that 635k is few, but you know, this is like to me a 3 million sub channel at least!! Keep up the therapy and thanks SO much for the great advice and content!!
RUclips broadcasts your name more when you play the game how they want you to. Not many people care about fixing things anymore, most everything is throw away so why bother.
I always enjoy your RUclips offerings, I had a number of small Hondas when I was a kid. Had lot's of open desert to ride in.
This is, and has always been, my favorite channel. I love the problem-solving approach. If I had one criticism, it's that you should start mild when it comes to cleaning up old parts. The front fender would have come out perfectly with 0000 steel wool but, starting with the abrasive scotchbrite wheel on a power tool resulted in damage. Still love ya, man.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!!!🎄
My brother had a 60 something Honda Trail 90, that he bought used. He'd take it deer hunting and use it to drag the deer back to his old Econoline Ford van. It was a tough little bike. One day, he was on his way back from a hunt, driving down a interstate. The Honda was secured to the back of the van, until it wasn't. It came loose and bounced of it's rack at around 80MPH, it was then eaten by a mid 70's Lincoln Town Car.
And decades later this still makes me wince.
It is nice to see an "older" thing functioning again. It is not about the popularity or the value. It's all about seeing it running again. You don't get to see them anymore because, people didn't see the worth of maintaining them, once the repair cost became too high. People who fixes old things, are becoming a dying breed. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas! A fine grit sand paper, DA or palm sander will take down the foam, even memory foam. It helps for installing seat covers if your use a thin plastic bag over the foam like a really cheap generic trash bag. Also, steaming the seat cover after installing helps for final fit and tightening all your seams up.
Came together very nice! Thanks for bringing us along! Merry Christmas Mustie!
Great restoration series Mustie - thanks for all your content this year!
Mustie1, Thanks for bringing the little guy back to life!
Merry Christmas to you and the wife. Hope you have a great year in 2023!
Nice looking bike and great work! I'm hoping you eventually do another bike build. Your bike builds and Crusty series are what got me hooked on your channel. The bike builds especially show off your talent and artistic side because you are creating something that never existed. Thanks for the entertainment and real content. No B.S. here.
I really enjoy your bike restorations! Keep them coming.
Merry Christmas Mustle1 and all your viewers, Great help and comments and content throughout the year.
You made my morning with the video. Amazing transformation for the little Honda. Thank you sir 4letting us hang out and doing some wrenching.
That bike cleaned up and ran great. We had the xl and xr around at that time. Bikes I learned to ride on. So much fun.
Merry Christmas everyone!
And to you 🎉
And to you too
You as well
Yup, happy Saturnalia!
What's merry about it?
Merry Christmas bud. Thank you so much for countless hours of entertainment you provide every month. We all really appreciate it.
Hey Dennis. I enjoyed listening about your times in Accident Park. I live near the Meadowlands and I used to go up there in the summer with friends during my high school years. You would absolutely have to test the brakes on the carts used on the Alpine Slide. A few of my friends did not slow down on the high banked curves and wound up paying the price of bruises and cuts and scrapes and friction burns. The documentary on HBO Max stated it was dismantled and reassembled somewhere in the State of Pennsylvania. Never got enough of guts built up to try it again. I am just glad I survived. Thanks for the memories and happy holidays.
Merry Christmas Mustie. Sure is a Christmas surprise with a video from our favorite wrenches. Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful festive season. This little Honda is looking awesome. Thank you for all that you do…..
Great series Mustie, I appreciate all the hard work ya put in. Merry Christmas 🎅
Thank you for a great year Mustie1. Looking forward to the next!
Thank you Mustie, that was a very nice and enjoyable Christmas present and conclution to this project. God bless you and keep up the good work!😁👍
Nice job Darren. One heck of a transformation on the little 90. 👍
Wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy 2023 🇺🇸
Nice to see it brought out of it's coma! What a difference!!! I remember riding my SL70 and my friend got an ST90. So many good times and laughs! This really took me back. Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks Mustie as usual great video. Watching your channel is like visiting with an old pal. Keep up the fun times.
I love the way you chuckle when you find something awful with an engine, and I laughed along with you when you took it for the shakedown. It was good to hear the genuine pleasure you had when you went out!
Merry Christmas Darren, best wishes to you and your loved ones. Hope 2023 is a great year for you all.
I've birdwatching the news about the terrible weather in the USA at themselves ment. Keep safe and thank you for all your hard work keeping us informed and entertained.
Best wishes from the South West of the UK.
Merry Christmas Mustie! Thanks for this great gift, letting me learn from your excellent work. I hope you and your family can take some time to enjoy the holidays. Wishing you a Happy New Year 🎆
Merry Christmas to all Mustie fans across the world! Best wishes especially to Mr and Mrs Mustie from the UK, as we're watching on Boxing Day.
Another terrific rustoration Darren. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for all the great educational content.
I know exactly what you mean when you say that time just melts away when you get into the "zone". I just love that feeling, when your mind is in full creative mode...magic! Thanks for this great series. It is incredible what you accomplish.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all the videos you have worked so hard on. Looking forward for your upcoming season 😀
Our family has enjoyed watching your journey this year, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for all the videos. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas. Looking forward to what you will dig up for next year.
Merry Christmas Mustie to you and you’re family hope. You have a good one thank you for all the knowledge and entertainment you’ve given us
Merry Xmas to you and yours. I have been enjoying your videos for years now. I always enjoy watching and learning from your experience..
I will speak for myself and say I always can’t wait for your videos. Thank you for your hard work
Simplicity and logic of his repairs is intriguing and captivatingly. Good
The best of these types of channels on RUclips and it’s not even close. Great content as usual
Well took me a couple days to finish this awesome video, but thank you for a whole year of learning how to do things I probably would of not done. You are truly an excellent teacher. Thanks so much for everything you do for this channel. By the way that was some nice skiing on the 90 their. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings. God bless you and your family. Thank you.
I agree , amazing shape and condition for 50 years old. Good video and enjoyed watching this Christmas Morning … Great way to start the day with Mustie1
Cheers and Merry Christmas from Alberta Dave 😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
Merry Christmas. I'm in Calgary.
Merry Christmas !! This was a great series, and the bike looks fantastic !! The new seat cover really , really helped !!
Loved this restoration, so good to see something looking real nice when finished (rust removed, re-painted where required, etc).
Good revival Mustie. Hearing it run and ride reminds me of 12 years old. Really enjoyed the summer with a bike like that, Thanks.
Merry Christmas ! I compress the seat frame down when I reupholster my mc seat. It goes a lot easier . The tabs will fatigue ,break,so the less you bend them the better. With the foam compressed, the covering slips over the tabs and pulls under easily. Winter riding on snow always fun ;) Good restoration . Have a healthy safe 2023.
Great video series and thanks for the blast of the past, Vernon Valley/Action Park brought back some memories! I grew up in North Jersey and have lots of memories from "traction park". My buddy Scott had the unfortunate experience of going down a section of the alpine slide without his sled...road rash on top of road rash! They had some crazy ass water slides that would mess you up if you didn't position yourself right. That place was a horror show but we loved it!
I just love watching and listening to your videos. I have watched numerous hours and have learned a lot of things over the years. Your ability to explain even the simplest things so that I can understand them is great. Its also wonderful that you explain repairs and how things work to an "invisible" novice is so useful. Thanks for the knowledge and the humor.
lucky little bike to land in mustie's garage . hey mustie if you read this still waiting for another bike build . merry Christmas happy new year buddy .
Merry Christmas Mustie. And yes, we call them spanners. A wrench is similar to what you used to get that big nut off on the front bearing on the bike.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching both vids xmas day whilst relaxing and reminiscing of the good ol' days of the 70's when bikes were my life. Thank you for the nostalgic trip down memory lane.
I can see mustie as a kid begging the parents to go play on his new dirt bike he received for Christmas.even if it was snowy. Ride safe
When it comes to cutting polyurethane foam with an electric knife, you might help the knife to cut thinner slices by dressing the blade with silicone spray. It really cuts down on the blade getting caught up or struck. By the way, the finished seat and the whole bike look great!😊
Merry Christmas Mustie! I love the content of your videos. When you lubricate a chain, lube it from the inside circumference of it, that way the lube will be pulled outward through the chain instead of being thrown off of it by centrifugal forces. Just a helpful hint!!! ;-)
Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs. Darren! Take care, and thanks. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.
Wasn’t sure we were going to hear from you today. You certainly brightened my day. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas All!
Thanks for another great year of learning Mustie!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope everyone is safe and warm.
I’ve been watching for years. This was a favorite. Growing up in the 60s-70s I had the Raleigh Rodeo 3+2, Lil Indian Minibike, Honda 70, Kawasaki 175 etc… I’d forgotten how much I learned riding and maintaining those bikes. Your channel is one of my favorites and I look forward to them week after week. Thank you for keeping some of my greatest memories alive.
Another save. Thanks for the knowledge and the big grin on ur face as u rode it in the snow. Have an amazing Christmas and we will see u again in 2023. Greetings from Ireland ☘☘☘☘☘☘
That's an impressive amount of oil for a little engine. Merry Christmas to all of the family, this has to be the most intensive services I've seen in a long time on an old bike, would be worth a good bit of money upon selling if including the video of all the work done to it. Was thinking about the chrome, I've had reasonable results with aluminum foil scrunched up and rubbed into the pitting, seems to fill those small pits very well.
Probably why those little engines last forever ♾ even tho it doubles as gear ⚙️ oil too 🤷♂️
Your air-driven buffer wheel thing sounds like a high revving 2-stroke engine too. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Merry Christmas Musti1.
Great way to start a Christmas morning watching you finish the Honda. Another success.
Merry Christmas! Growing up in NY, I had a friend who had started his life in NJ. He would often go visit family there. One time he came home from one of those visits, and he was torn up pretty good, scabs everywhere. Looked like he had been drug behind the family car for a couple of miles. He told us all about Action Park that day. Apparently, he flipped one of those carts, and slid down the concrete tube it rids in for a pretty substantial distance, mostly on his face and arms.
Merry Xmas Mustie - never knew ATF was a sub for fork oil- why not? Nothing better than soap SOS pads for rim rust
SOS pads work great on rusty spots. Not too sure about ATF. Why not just use fork oil?
I live in germany where the little hondas were sadly only sold as 50's with the 10" wheels (maybe some 70's not sure). I personally own a Honda DAX replica with 125cc's and wonder how much greater it would ride with these big spokewheels, let alone how great those would look on it. But I guess I'd have to get taller suspension and a longer swingarm if there was a way to get wheels like the ST90's here in germany.
Great Video and Merry Christmas :D
Great project Mustie.
Oh the 70's teenage Honda days, I remember them well, you brought it all back, thanks Mustie.
Happy New year.
It would be cool to see one of your motorized bike builds.
1st comment 1 Merry Christmas
Cut all the bad old pad about 2 or 3 inches down replace it with a new memory foam top that you have a lot of upstairs that you can shape with you cool electric turkey knife. Your ass will thank you.
Love all your stuff brother keep liven good and fixing stuff and I'll keep watching.
Awesome job on the bike, and a trail ride in the snow on Christmas! Over the river (ok, no river) and through the woods !Thank you!
Mustie1 on Christmas Morning! A great gift! Thanks for giving this old gearhead something to look forward to each week!
So many memories for you mate. Merry Christmas and a safe and wonderful 2023.
🇦🇺
Thank you so much for taking me back to my childhood, if only for a little while! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Merry Christmas Mustie and Family. Thanks for all the great videos and the laughs along the way this past year. Looking forward to more next year. Have a great Christmas and we'll see you on the next one. Cheers from Sask, Canada.
Merry Christmas Mustie. Thank you so much for all your videos. Absolutely brilliant 👍
Merry Christmas and happy new year thank you and also your wife for your time making the videos learned a lot for them and I am 67
