Zack and Ari return to their roots in New England where their friendship and passion for motorcycling began. The adventure begins with fixing up a 1965 BMW sidecar racer that Zack campaigned with his father Tim, then road-tripping the Beemer to Canada to compete in Ari's first sidecar race. Will the old BMW survive the journey to the checkered flag? Only one way to find out!

Ok... now i am curious...
Why is there Ariel 454 Written @ 44:07 on one of your guys push bikes?
Did your dad race Ariels?
I love how the subtitles person put "eh" on the end of every sentence at the border crossing guard whether he said it or not
well yeah, he’s speaking Canadian and you’ve got to translate the subtitles to english
This is better than Saturday morning cartoons.
I’ll second that motion!
Sidecar loons > cartoons
@@bones642 Thanks for sharing that Man !
@@pistonburner6448 Perfect !
Tell that to my kids
Do you two realize just how Unusual it is for two childhood friends to be friends when grown up and then both working for yhe same company??? You are blessed!
Buy from Revzilla guys. That way we can keep watching more productions like these. Imagine Ari and Zack 10 years from now still making these type of content for us. What an absolute treat. Ever since Revzilla signed these guys, they've been the only motor shop I purchase from online. Had my full ADV kit from them and was able to ride coast to coast (Finally, after years of procrastinating)
Guys thank you so much for this. This had me crying towards the end. I’m 32 and I had great friend of 54 named Mike. Every year in July we would take 1 week off of work and ride our bikes towards a destination. No plan no hotels reserved just a destination. We’d ride and stop whenever we felt tired. Truly a feeling of freedom riding with my best friend. He was so tough it made me feel like I was older than he was sometimes. He passed away in March of this year. The relationship you two have is in incredible and when I watch you guys it brings back memories of the past trips Mike and I took. Thank you so much and I hope these adventures continue for a long time.
Wow, Alejandro! That was some story. Thanks for sharing!!!
Sorry for your loss Man , keep those great memories....
Thank you for sharing. It is because of dudes like you that I read the comments.
Tears to my eyes. My friend who introduced me to riding and rode with me almost 10k together is now shifted to a different state. We barely see each other but I know he's only one call away. I have been contemplating a ride together for good times sake. I guess I clear my schedule and do it. You never know when the time comes for you. Ride while you can!
Get back out on the road man, Mike would want it...rust is not an option.
I've lost damned near everyone I used to ride with and the few left, younger than me, apparently have gotten old and afraid of adventure nowadays...
Zach and Ari never miss with these videos. I loved every second of this. Spencer and the rest of the crew behind the scenes also killed it.
I was clenching with them into every turn :-) and a training montage as well , fabulous
Yeah give more money to this!!
Couldn't have said it better 👍
Amazing episode
Don't kill stuff. It's better alive.
What a beautiful story! I never knew Zach and Ari were childhood friends, and Ari honoring Zach's dad by riding in his old suit, just added to complete the circle❤
Wow, I had no idea Zack and Ari went back THAT far, no wonder they work so great together. It's very rare in a duo that one isn't the main man and the other is a side kick, not the case with Zack and Ari, they are both amazing at what they do and equally as important in the production of the videos. I hope those two never separate, and work together all the way up until retirement. Spectacular episode.
This is just brilliant: origin story, nostalgia, down-to-the-wire competition, and a healthy dose of insanity. Kudos, guys.
And I forgot heartwarming, because it really, really is.
Don't forget the romance.
@@pistonburner6448 Bruvmance.
RevZilla, whatever you’re paying these two and the crew that make these videos… it isn’t enough! Beautiful work
So true. I liked RevZilla before. Now it is my only bike shop.
One of the best yet, if not the best of Zack and Ari.
Didn't have to blast us canadians so hard in the subtitles though haha
Why did you spell eh as haha? Sorry, couldn't help it. :D
eh?
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who got this joke 😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😂😂
I know eh 😂
What do you mean eh?
This is the most fun Ive had on youtube for ages. Jeez it brings back some memories from 35 years ago. I used to be a passenger on my dads BSA racing outfit in the CRMC in the UK. My god they were good times. Thanks for sharing guys, you made an old man feel 20 years old again :)
I used to do slalom skateboarding and this reminded me of taking turns at speed. You end up perpendicular a few inches to the ground. A head and then back injury took me out of the sport for the past year and it’s been years since any shops put together a competition nearby to even go to. I’ll probably be feeling the same as you in twenty years haha.
the Isle TT side car racing is probably the most exciting bike racing you can do. LOVE watching those guy hang it out sideways at ridiculous speeds
I have to give a lot of credit to the Director of Photography. I am only 15 minutes in and the cinematography is excellent so far, right down to the B-Roll. Great job crew!
Really amazing! Never feels overdone, I can't imagine how they get those on-road shots done so well (perfectly judged balance as well), and the racing footage was absolutely brilliant. Hardly loses out at all to a fully-crewed team filming with tons of cameras all over the place even on the track, unbelievable job!
Zack and Ari and crew-Well Done. I've seen you guys grow up as I raced against your dads. This video is amazing. You have done sidecar racing a huge service by making a video showing the coolness of racing rigs. This took me down memory lane and I am thankful- David Wilson Dudes of Hazzard 262
Thanks for a great addition to an already wonderful story !
Thanks
The “eh?” Added to the subtitles is much appreciated and not unnoticed! 😂😂😂
My phone rotated the screen a couple of times because I was unconsciously leaning into the turns! This was absolutely captivating. You guys never disappoint. Thank you!
As a vintage motorcycle racer with a young son, I can't imagine how heartwarming this is for your fathers to see. Good job, guys.
It's just magical that the two of you both found a home in Revzilla where you can make content together and the rest of the world can enjoy.
People who haven't driven a sidecar have no idea what a crazy assemetrical contraption we are dealing with.
Ari absolutely selling out on those corners and getting inches off the tarmac and completely horizontal was gold. Genius move to put your arm out to move that center of gravity slightly further out. I can only imagine the toll on the body.
If you don't come back with a few new scratches each stint you were not low enough.
@@wobblysauceno if you're hitting the ground you're too low 😂
Damn i cried man watching this episode , it just hit me on another level , hope i can have someone to share even just a tiny bit of the experience you guys having back there. still one of the best channel i've known
Hope you're doing good bro
i hope both of you guys are doing good! 💪@@cristobalsepulveda9085
This is in the running for my favorite Ari and Zack adventure. Perfect for the holidays with all the nostalgia and Zack's dad experiencing it with them.
Mine is the c90 trip in Alaska, but this definitely is on the podium.
Far better production than the vast majority of movies in theaters these days! Great job guys! So glad you were able to make this trip together, with Zach's Dad providing support! How cool is that!!!
They could expand these and put two or three episodes together and make a feature film I would pay to see.
Imagine if every human on earth had a friendship like that.
WOW, this is the best video I've ever watched on youtube for the past decade. It isn't even the production quality alone that makes it phenomenal, its Zack and Ari and their freindship that seriously shines through.
Zack and Ari's chemistry is what makes this show so spectacular and the adventures they go on is just the icing on the top. Very similar to how the grand tour/top gear guys' chemistry made that show so awesome. I hope there are many more adventures to come :)
Very true! Also quite similar to Freiberger and Finnegan from Roadkill.
OUTSTANDING!!! Loved every minute of it!!
I love when fellow RUclips channels show support for each other. It was indeed an excellent video from tip to tail!
Wow what a fantastic episode. I get sad that there's so much time in between CTXP episodes, but the wait is COMPLETELY worth it! Thank you guys for making so much great content. Even got a little emotional knowing all the nostalgic ties between these two guys, and having Zack's Dad involved too. My favorite episode so far, and that's saying a lot!!
So my youngest son said Dad you gotta watch the episode with the side cars ! ..and I was glad I did..it was epic and awesome ! Next time some 100 octane to help you in the straits ok guys !?
This was wicked! Ari's commitment level in the corners was pretty impressive. I'd love to see you guys tackle some type of endurance race at some point.
Yeah I think that would be awesome - I reckon they should try the Dakar together, what a story that would be.
Glen Helen 24hr!
These CTXP short films are about my favorite content right now on RUclips. Your chemistry is that of people who've been friends their whole lives. And just generally likable people. And the cinematography and editing of these is top notch. What a product someone can be proud of. Can't wait for the next one. ❤️
The race got my heart racing. I just love how amazing Zack and Ari is at racing. I am lost for words. I have never seen sidecar race before this and I could watch this a thousand times more. Please do more of these Zack and Ari.
Damn, i love this two dudes! The storytelling, the explaining, the excitement. Amazing series!
They really do have some great chemistry. I love these RevZilla videos, they're delivering great content.
The editing is lovely on this video. Love the long form videos with these two, they're great hosts and very informative and entertaining
The "eh"s in the captions LOL
Absolutely, hands down the perfect combination of petrol fuelled nostalgia and friendship. Left me with a warm glow and an urge to check my valve clearances. You guys rock 👊
I had a smile on my face during the whole race
this has been better than the most movies that are out there!
The laughs when Zack and Ari made it through the border crossing. I was laughing right along with them! What an awesome experience and huge kudos to the production crew. Just Wow.
Definably a " we got away with it" moment and hope the border patrol don't change there minds and arrest us
More adventures like this please. You guys work really well on screen in this kind of setting. Super enjoyable
that final shot, just pure gold
At 23:59, its so funny how these two act like little kids together. The lil laughter and giggles as they semi scandalously pass the boarder.
That was brilliant. Full credit to Ari for getting in that sidecar and committing fully to those corners.
I’m not crying you are! I have something stuck in my eyes! Wow super happy for your guys’ journey. Amazing video, story, direction and editing.
Ditto, my eyes started leaking a couple of times. Those two are awesome. And Zack's dad just added to all of it!!!
@@cyclezncigarz7015 Agreed! 100%
07:12 that moment when the always in sync Fuel Injection on our modern twin cylinder bikes becomes appreciated.
My Dad & I had a similar 1970 R50/5 back in 1980, that suffered "out of sync" challenges.
Great days & memories to be sure !
But I'm gonna hug my FI V-Strom 650 this cold morning even more.
You guys are fabulous together.
God's blessed your friendship & we're glad to see it.
Safe travels & laughter !
I love that even after a sound thrashing on the track apart from “sweating” a bit, she still purrs like a kitten as you get back to the pits. The old girls still got it going on!😂❤
Those guys are more than brothers, I wish I had a friend to team up and do a quarter of the adventures they have done in their life. Love the videos, you guys are the soul of Revzilla.
This is the best video by you guys. Period.
Zack and Ari
Their childhood
Their parents
Road trip
Racing together
Amazing race
Lots of overtakes
Nostalgia
Great direction
Loved it. Lived it.
Who else was leaning through every turn with you guys!! What a video! I’m sooo happy for you guys being able to do this together and have so much fun 💪🏼
What a wonderful story. I hadn't realised, as others have said, that you two went back so far. This was so much fun to watch. I got pretty nervous during the last race. Was a bit worried you might stack it, but it was all good. What an awesome experience to be able to share with a friend.
In regards to the interested kids on the sidewalk. As somebody who, professionally, is doing something "meaningful" with his life as far as responsibility, etc... I can whole heartedly say you guys live a life full of far more fun, adventure, and enjoyment than I do.
I won't lie, got a bit teary-eyed at the end there. I remember hearing Zack and Ari talking about this a while back, it was such a pleasure to get to watch you guys actually do it!
I'm going to go out and finally get my motorcycle license after dreaming about these machines since I was a kid. These vids are incredible, guys.
I guess this was the most wholesome video i have seen in while,both of you are so lucky to have friendship like that👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉
The editors adding "eh" to every sentence the worker said at the border crossing had me dying 😂
This was absolutely awesome. Ticking off dreams, showing off good parenting and leaving a legacy for your kids, and a major nostalgia kick to boot. This one definitely hit in the feels.
This was awesome, thanks for taking us on this adventure
Man, I've been following Zach and Ari from their motorcyclist magazine days. Honestly one of my absolute favorite episodes that they've ever done out of all of their work with CTXP, Throttle Out, and On Two Wheels.
Never really commented on one of your videos, but I just rewatched this episode and remembered why I love the two of them.
This channel evolved so much... This is literally mini documentary. Wonderful.
As much as my obsession with bikes brings me here, watching 2 best mates having fun like this is the best part. Great video RZ team.
GREAT videos guys! My son John rode monkey for Ed Frankel on his Norton sidecar rig. John sent me the link to this great video. THANKS! for the memories of many of our best father/son memories with old bikes, Tim, Tom, Ed and many others. Charlie Seymour (#119, 450 Ducati)
Man this was a lot of fun. Somehow not having comms made you guys mor in sync. Perhaps because you weren't waiting for confirmation from the partner and just trusted each other. I never thought that passenger in a side car was just along for the ride, but still thought sidecar racig was a silly thing. This episode has completely changed my mind on it and I can now see that this is a true team effort and not just a battle of the fastest. The position on track almost takes a back seat. Almost, because the race was definitely a nail biter!
Thank you for a bag of emotion!
P.S. Ари всё-таки больной чудик!
I had little intention of watching this episode just 'cause "who cares about sidecar racing?" But guys, I'm so glad I did. Great video all the way around. My thanks not only to Zach and Ari for sharing a part of their childhood but also to all the crew and editors for their part in making this hit right in the feels. Fantastic job!
To be completely honest this was my introduction to vintage sidecar racing. I never knew such awesome things existed! The quality and thought put into these episodes make it feel like a full on Netflix series.
its beautiful that two childhood best friends can be host together in a show making videos, Revzilla would never be the same without them together
This was one of the best if not the best CTXP videos I’ve ever seen boys. Absolutely amazing to watch the two of you learning and growing together as a team. Absolutely incredible watching you guys duke it out with less power but fearless technique. Gotta love it boys, can’t wait to see what’s going on next
Three minutes in I knew I would be late for whatever I was planning to do this morning.
It doesn’t matter… this so good.
The editing, the dialogue, two of my favorite biker-RUclips dudes. Plus a rather cool rig (despite the ergonomics.)
Just brilliant…thanks guys and gals for taking us along.
I had my heart beating insanely fast on the race day. This video is so fun, emotional, entertaining, and your friendship is so nice, and now I think even stronger. You can literally feel the bond you have. And I think you made Senior proud! Hats off for the way the story was told, video editing and filming, everything was spot on! Keep bringing such episodes, as we love them!
I love how Zach's dad looks just like ol' "Jack" Courts from the Sport Touring vs Sport bikes episode. 😂 The resemblance is uncanny!
You made that bike relive again ....🎉👏👏
Killer episode as usual!
It’s crazy how much history you two have! Awesome to see things come full circle
Best episode yet! Perfect blend of old nostalgia, simple machines, small town living, and exciting racing. The editing was top notch too.
Thank you so much for this film
Ive been a sidehack fan since the late 70s when I was a kid I attended the first world championship race in America at usgp at Laguna Seca and it was definitely a highlight of all the races I have attended over the years
This film was so compelling from start to finish and you guys really had a very impressive race and riding to the track was a big balls move
Kudos to you both
Thanks again
I had no idea they were friends since always. Even more cool that they get to do CTXP together. Working on the same company as a childhood friend and getting to do amazing stuff with him, just so cool.
No wonder the two of them have such good chemistry
Wow, talk an amazing video! The cinematic quality was great and really captured the emotion. Very well done by team CTXP!
That race edit... OMG, I was like I was watching F1. Great video guys. And what a story! Loved it!
I love all your adventures, but this one was amazing. One of my most favourite episodes to date. Absolutely loved it. Watching you guys for a while now and I never realised you grew up together. Which makes this episode even more special. I must have missed that detail if you’ve ever mentioned it in past videos. ❤
so you guys knew each other for a loong time. dang. that explains the chemistry more actually.
I can´t get enough of Zack and Ari, such an amazing friendship. As always a great video guys. Sending love and support from Spain!
Just this year I got to race my fathers old enduro kart after waiting for 34 years. So I'm really happy you guys got to experience this together.
I grew up down the road from Shanny. Drove cars in amateur series. I knew they had some motorcycle track days and races, but I never knew they held vintage side car races, that would have been so fun to go watch.
When the sidecars was on its angle making that turn. That was the best of the best actions moments.
So happy these guys found Revzilla to lean into amazing productions like these! Keep up the killer job guys 🤙🏻
This right here, it's putting tears in my eyes. Just happy friends and their dreams.
I love these adventures with the best motorcycle hosts in the world
I think what I love most about this video in particular is how invested RevZilla was in telling a story that truly seems so close to the heart for these two. That’s a Family thing right there! You guys are a hell of a crew over there at RevZilla!
It's half 1 in the morning, and I'm cheering for two blokes whom I've watched 3 videos of, doing a sport I've no interest in, and I'm loving every minute of this!! Amazing job guys I'm actually sold on this sport! Awesome awesome awesome! Would love to give it a go myself!
Wow. Just wow. You guys had me in tears with your last words.
Its wonderful to see a friendship that lasted so long and still is pumping like it was the first day.
I have rolled through Chelsea, VT so many times on my own little offroad adventures and never known that was the home of these two. What a wonderful adventure, article, and story. Thank you to the Revzilla team, Zack, and Ari.
Simply, fantastic video. As emotional as real life can get.
Can't help but smile while watching. These guys are such legends. The deserve so much
Sick racing boys, nice batteling and some sick overtaking.The camera, editing, and sound is all 10/10 - very impressive
One of the best from Revzilla so far!
wow! I got great pleasure. thank you guys!
What an amazing film! You guys are one of the reasons I started riding. Your chemistry is intoxicating and I can’t wait to see your next adventure. Kudos to both of you and the film crew!
That was sooo good! Zack and Ari are so good on camera together and with the superb cinematography and editing this was a joy to watch. Well done team!!
Thats one of the loveliest things ive ever seen on the internet...thank you both very much.
This is Top Gear - level production with an even greater fun factor. Surprised this doesn't have millions of views.
Oh my God! Ari and Zack, you made me cry tears of joy. I truly loved seeing you two putting this together. I loved the Alaska journey, but this was better. Cheers to the both of you. May you have many more shared journeys, and please share them with us.
This reminds me of ATV quad racing where the competition is willing to keep everyone on the track and having a good honest race with each other. Not all motor sports are like that. It's great to see that.
It's about time these 2 make a movie with their adventures. Gr8 job.
If I could give more than one "Thumbs Up', I would. This is my favorite episode of yours so far. And I've been watching you guys for years. I even remember Dreads.
