FYI: A fully assembled Honda CT90 will just slide into the back of a Toyota Prius with the rear seat folded down. My wife was not nearly as happy about this discovery as I was.
Finally a practical use for a Prius.
Love it.
LOL, they never are.
I LOVE this discovery lol I also discovered a Honda CB175 will perfectly fit in the bed of a Ranger with a topper on it, but your discovery is MUCH better lol
I found out i can take my Sparta bike into my bed.
I sleep in the car now after it left oil spots and my wife kicked me out.
that was like watching jay leno's garage...on a bad acid trip
Ha ha
"Tony stark?" "No" he didn't sound too amused by the joke lol
Lol
I could only imagine how many times he’s heard that same joke 😂
I'm from the UK. The Square 4 was advertised as having 'armchair comfort'; they didn't tell you it rode like one too. Better with a sidecar in standard form. The later ones with 4 headers were more reliable.
In the 70s the healey brothers did a limited run of square fours with a better frame and engine mods, now rare and expensive. The company making the Atom bought the name in the 90s, Ariel motorcycles became part of BSA in the 50s, last making a bike in 1970.
I can tell this guy in the “barn” has never lost a single argument.
100%
Shitty attitude.
@@CommentingTheTruth yeah. He likes to make people feel stupid.
Yup, he’s a dick.
Aidan McKean he’s your grandpa, huh
This is just one of those guys that you can’t stand to have to be around to long he’s the “never wrong” guy
Oh I picked that up quickly too!
Yup, I already hate him seconds in
A "my dog is blacker than your dog" kind of guy, as my dad used to say.
100% right on with that analogy.
The kind of guy you want so bad to prove wrong.
Judge much?
Don't give this guy such a hard time, not all people are social, remember it is not the action but the intent that matters.
playing dumb like they don't know what a steering damper is...uh huh ya sure fella.
SRK: " so is this a Harley? "
Fella: " NO, that's a Harley Davidson "
"i just rode it up there" disregard the 2 years of spider webs, dust & dead battery. 50 bikes & he "just rode" all of them. to much BS tangled up with his facts. He may know his sh*t & he'll be the first to tell you how smart he is.
Either this guy is the best restorer in the world working out of a barn with economic independence, or he has a bunch of bikes he can't sell because the details are suspect and real experts won't touch them.
That was a different Cub, Srk bought the one that was in the corner covered in crap with a buddy seat and aux tank.
To someone his age, "just the other day" could be 5 years ago.
@@BHShamanor none of them are worth anywhere close to what he thinks they are.
*walks up to rusty frame with no engine, “oh yeaahhh that one runs great I daily ride it”
Not to mention that most of the bikes are " someone else's"...,lol
It's a runner!
No
Doubt it’ll fire right up.
Just needs a little tlc she'll fire right up.
I’m sure it fires right up first try
1954 Pontiac Super Cheiftan was my first car! I saw that engine & that dash, oh man brings back 50 year old good times.
When I run across old timers like this guy I just keep stepping you will not get a good deal on nothing just a good screwing seen the pain to many times felt once
The honesty and transparency you guys have... it blows my mind!
Much respect!
Man I could sit and watch you guys go through the barn all day. Love all the nostalgic bikes and that old car. Great stuff.
They bought that Honda trail to get out alive, not wasting his time.
This are pre war vintage harley , restored . very rare and very expensive . Hats off to you sir bringing up from grave yard ,sourcing of missing piece and putting back to life . great job, originality . Thank you for sharing this vedeo .
Never get tired of seeing old iron being brought back to life. Good on that guy!
"i don't do restorations anymore. i only do resurrections."
blank stare
Aha exactly
Means he doesn't fix the part that could be fix to make the bike better,"he just made a bike run,good or bad condition."
"Yeah, that runs, I just rode it in here" the man says about a bike with an inch of dust all over it. LOL
That guy was full of shit half the time.
Haha I know right
ego is size of the moon. but hey. im sure he knows more than myself.
@ebib
So,..... he is only half full of shit???!!!
@@BikesandBeards
That man has spent more time on motorbikes than you have been alive, maybe he embellished a few things but you can clearly see that he knows his shit, more than you do.......... or do you think you could take him on about the facts and data on ANY of his bikes and come off ahead, without resorting to the internet?

Perfect
17:56 "really hard to find" *finds four on eBay*
And expensive as balls.
Very informative..love meeting people like this guy...old biker enthusiasts of any brand area treasure!
I feel like I could point out the anvil and this guy would say "yeah it runs great, I rode it yesterday"
I have two of the CT90 and one CT110 . Love those bikes. I think you got a good deal on a pretty decent one. My definition of 'running' is probably fairly close to that guy. Cleaned up and a little fiddling to run- its a runner. I rode an SL90 in 1974 from Seattle to Fairbanks and back . Well, almost back . The bike took it's last breath in the middle of British Columbia. I hitch hiked the rest of the way back. Good times.
I couldn't watch this one.
* clears throat * "Yea that toaster runs... rode it in here the other day" * cough *
Shawn: What do you do here?
Him: Everything. I am not restoring anymore.
The above is perhaps the very first one, and there were other fallacies throughout the visit.
good job with the seat! I remember sitting in the back of a work van that just had 4 milk crates as seats in the back on the floor that would slide around.
I had a 55 Pontiac star Chief in HS. Was parked behind a garage. Paid $100 for it. Drove like a boat. Smother than a Caddy.
10:38 "Tony stark?" *Chuckles at own Brilliant joke, Only one amused was himself*
I like how the dude just blows off any hint of humor with a quick no, or an awkward answer as if Sean didn't intend it to be funny. He was like a robot vintage engineer that someone forgot to upload important human programming to.
Yeah thats was stupid.
@Fino Menezes 😂😂
"No."
...... *distant cough*
Bikes and beards you have to take a ride out to Nicks cycle salvage in Williamstown NJ. His bikes will blow your mind. I live close to there shop. He has any part or bike you can think of.
That 38 Knuckle is just a classic and absolutely beautiful bike. Even today 82 years later or whatever it just makes you go "frickin cool". That era of bikes the designers had such an incredible eye for true beauty. All these years later and lots of bikes have tried to mirror the "look" of those Harleys and Indians. What a collection of history this guy has accumulated. Not so sure on his prices but hey he isn't selling them so there worth whatever he thinks they are.
Mike Is a wealth of knowledge and a great neighbor and even better friend. I work on most of his classic cars and trucks at my shop for him now that he’s retired from it.
The bike guys didn't know what a steering damper was!? When you get older your definition of "the bike was running the other day" is that it ran 45-50 years ago.
Yep my grandpa was the worst, "just the other day" could be several years ago and "after 'while" could be weeks or months from now.
my grandfather worked at indian in springfield mass. he was a tinker and he developed and patented the drive chain tensioner
Great shop and bikes, thoughtfully maintained or restored, no clown bikes here. Not all are diamonds (polished or in the rough) but allegorically I like many other minerals better than diamonds.
When I was in the US Navy in 1971, a shipmate and friend was called Motor because he was so into motorcycles. Newport, RI, he found a newspaper ad for an old Harley for fifty bucks. It was in an old woman's attic and in boxes. She was selling her dead husbands junk. Bunch of rusty old motorcycle parts. Everything was there. It was an early Knucklehead. He was so jazzed. He was a big guy and would dig his knuckles into the top of your head and yell KNUCKLEHEAD from then on (it hurt but he was such a cool guy we endured it). He carried the handlebars around with him wherever he went as though riding for a few days. He was restoring it last I heard after he got out and bought a new Harley as daily ride. Attic find perfection.
I think that man is part Harley. Freaking awesome shop! I bet he has forgotten more than I will ever know. LOL
Didn’t Jesus mention something about not click baiting?
Yeah, I was waiting to see the $850 vintage Harley they were going to be bringing home.
Pretty sure he did
Yup, lol!
Amen!🤣
Didn't Jesus say something about not judging?
my gosh this place is truly heaven
My brother had a Honda 90 trail and that bike was amazing!!! Go anywhere!!! Really good on the trails outside of town and also good on the roads in town. Never had a problem with it, ever!!! Cool to see it again!!! Thx for the post!!! 👍
Judging by the copious dust, I'm guessing maybe four bikes out of his entire collection *actually* start and run without work.
You could say that about my dad's one single bike. But he just never cleans it. Looks like it has been sitting for forever, but really he rides it almost every day when it is above 45 degrees.
Weird.. I have a bike currently parked in a barn with waayyy more dust than these... It will fire right up.
Open air shops attract dust.
Old bikes always need work to start and to keep them running. Old bikes is one of the reasons they invented cellphones. You're going to break down from time to time. Ride on. VAUGHN
Now a cripple,I MISS RIDING, with all my heart!
Keep the dreams alive boyz
I can't believe I just seen the bike again my dad and my grandfather use to take me for rides when 20-22 yrs ago around my grandfathers 69 acres..I can't believe it. Wow trail damn 90
The Ariel square four often had a sidecar attached, sometimes a double adult version. It was the family "car" before the arrival of the Mini.
My last two were barn finds...a 1955 Harley Davidson and a 1949 Harley Davidson. Would love to own another older, classic Harley. Never should have let go of the '55.
Harley-Davidson makes it very, very easy to know if your bike is original or not. Archives are amazing, parts books abound. 54 with badges, damn... dude has some good stuff.
Its amazing what some have been able to keep running, and restore to original condition! These old bikes are really something else! You picked a good one to work on. That Honda trail 70 is a Go Anywhere bike, and hunters used them to haul out their deer during hunting season, besides have fun on them the rest of the year. A lot of history here for sure! You wont go wrong restoring this one to its original state. You may even run across another old bike thats worth restoration in your quest for more used bikes. The contacts you make while doing this is to your advantage and can be a great source for expertise as well as help to find parts. Great Video!
this guy lives to assert his dominance
He's a pain couldn't stand him
@@boomerhgt did you meet him?
Definitely not the emasculated men of today…lol
He's a guy with a lot of knowledge who spends a lot of time alone. He's being very generous with his time and his bikes. Self reflect more instead of judging everyone
That Ariel is the one you should have bought. Incredible motorcycle and it looks like a lot of it was there.
lol "really hard to find" these old school guy's haven't figured out the internet yet :D
@Motorheadmike These kids still believe what is in their brain is in the garage. Thanx to playstation.
@@jackrichards1863 what’s that supposed to mean boomer? Half these bikes wouldn’t be so “rare” to old timers if they learned that autotrader isn’t everything and learned how to use google.

@@jackrichards1863 boomer.
A friend of mine back in the 70s had a camper and he built a rack on the back so he could take his trail 90 with him camping. It was a fun bike to ride. I started my riding life on a Honda 50 scooter that my brother had when I was 12 years old, back in the 60s. I am still riding and have ridden many different makes and models, (presently a Yamaha 1100 and Harley Fat boy) but I still have fond memories of thos little bikes in the 60s and 70s. 😀
“no low ballers I know what I got”
In 1966-1968 I had a 250cc Aermacchi Harley Davidson sprint. I drove it to High School for 3 years. I loved that motorcycle. The HD sprints can sometimes still be found on Crags list.
Very cool video. 1974 was 44 years ago.
Oh Man..that green Bronco was worth the price of admission right there! Do cool!
Trail 90 has magneto ignition actually. You gotta give them a swift kick but they'll go with a dead battery.
So when he says, everything in here runs, he means runs fluids onto the ground!!!
That guy was a wealth of knowledge but not very flexible. Very... fixed in his way of thinking. lol
Sometimes that’s what gets you to where your going.
Most are
@@jamescole9767 HAHA, yup. Engineer brain. I'm right there brother.
Summer of 72 I was 12 and worked my butt off 7 days a week at my step-dads resort. Pumping gas, cleaning boats, hauling trash and a zillion other jobs. End of summer and he takes me 150 miles to Spokane (city nearest us with a Honda dealer) and buys me a new Trail 70. Loved that bike, I could hit 51 mph on it, packed sand beach that ran for miles at the resort and it was the perfect drag strip. Speedo went to 60 but even at 90 lbs I couldn't ever break 51. That thing was awesome for riding in the desert and sagebrush hills of Eastern Washington.
“Easier to keep running than anything you own”you only gotta deal with the fact it’s a flathead you gotta re torque the head as regular maintenance and gotta dig around just to find parts to rebuild a motor that will probably only go up to 80 thousand miles maybeee 😂 I don’t think he’s discovered the LS yet
Not to mention lack of horsepower for the cost
Better yet, I bet he doesn't daily drive a 70 year old vehicle. Don't know why he wouldn't considering it's the easiest to maintain thing they would own.
viewer note:. This is the last bikes and beards vid i'll watch .just got a text
Tom was in a wreck he's in the Hospital pray for him!
!!
Well guys, I share his definition. You cant expect a barn find for that little money to run on the first kick. That thing is what like 50 years old? Of course you have to dig in a little bit and do some basic maintenance like rebuilding the carb, new fluids and stuff.
So a not seized up motor and very little rust is already a jackpot...
That means it doesn't run. They guy was asked if it would start and he said no because it doesn't have a good battery in it, not no because it's been sitting for half my life and needs rebuilt. If it's a barn find that is cheap and needs a carb rebuild, then he shouldn't have lied about its state multiple times.
If he "just drove it up there" it shouldn't have been hard to start.
You got a good deal on the trail 90, even tho you're gonna have to work a bit to get it going. It's in very good shape for it's age. Add a little more work to it, you can actually get 3 or 4 grand for it. I would want it as you guys got it for that kind of money, since I don't have a lot of money, but I can see why people will pay pretty good money for one that's really in good shape. Way back in the olden days, I learned to ride on one of these, it wasn't even mine, a neighbor's but every kid in the neighborhood rode it. Tough as hell. Took a hell of a lot of misuse and crashes and such, it always faired better than we did. Even though I"m an old man and much larger than I was back then, I'd still love to have one. They're just fun, and you actually can use it to get around town on, tho I really wouldn't want to try it on a freeway, around town they're great. They'll do enough to go down secondary highways at least. Frankly I'd rather have that bike than any of the Harleys he had. I'm not a Harley guy. tho some of the old ones are cool, the modern ones suck, big as they are, most don't fit me. I deplore low riders and cafe racers both... so what I usually wind up with is a street legal dirt bike because they're tall enough to fit me and my long legs. I like a straight up riding position like was the usual when I was riding in the early days, lowriders and cafe racers came along and ruined the motorcycle industry so far as I'm concerned. My next fave is a Honda 350 twin in the CL configuration. Lots of memories there too. Then comes a 650 Honda, and a 750. Wound up riding a 500 Enduro Yamaha for a lot of years as my only vehicle. Rode it year round, even in the Colorado winters with snow on the ground.
$850 is way too much for a Non-Runner. Mine cost me $400. My buddy got his delivered for $375. You gotta look around a little more if your having trouble finding one. It's about $1250 for a Titled Runner with no issues, $2500 for a quality bike. Those $4000-$5000 ones you see pop up in California never sale. One of the nicest ones I've seen, took quite a while to sale, and it was $2500.
@@PowerBeeEngine Thank you for the intiel. Maybe I actually can get one for a reasonable price. The ones I was referring to were in primo shape.
YOU GUYS ARE MASTERING THE CLICK BAIT ERA. GOOD JOB.
This guys passive aggressive skills are top notch
Sean: "Yeah I'm using straps here to secure a seat in the van"
*[National Highway Safety Bureau has entered the chat]*
I had the non-street legal version of the Yamaha Mini-Enduro... It was the bike that got me started with motorcycles back in the 70's.... Great memories.
This guy's collection is amazing!
My first bike was a 1941 45 cubic inch sports Solo. I rebuilt a 1948 pan for an attorney in Florida. It was a very clean bike with all the frame tabs and original sheet metal.
You guys kinda remind me of the “Canadian pickers” on the history channel in this video lol
Enjoying this video and then "Bam" I see my 1st motorcycle. A HD 350. Mine was called a 350 Sprint. I bought it from a co-worker when I was in college in 1982 for $100. Wow... Thank you.
“Uh, I don’t know, $20,000? $30,000?”
This dude is literally just talking to hear himself talk.
you'd be surprised what the really old Harleys go for, especially if they are all original/as was.. depends what part of the country and who has it too of course.Watch American Pickers. That guy paid $25,000 for a complete knucklehead Harley IIRC.
Well there is no solid book on restored Harleys if it was a factory Harley that may be have some dents and dings then you could probably KBB it
The milk Crete fits albums , lol way worth
Hear them coughing makes me think of corona even if the vid is a year old.
My brothers and I bought a 66 Harley Davidson 50cc. Hand clutch/shifter with reg tank. When I found one at an independent Harley repair shop just down the street from Pomona Drag Strip I was shocked at the $3,000 price tag!! Full restored of course!
Suzuki RG500 is a square 4 also. No, the Ariel who made the Square 4 “Squariel” is not the same company that makes the current Atom.
The man has some sweet machines..
Respect to him driving them, enjoying them just like they were made for!
so glad I didn't find that place, I would have baorrowed against the house, the wife AND the kids to leave with a load of cool stuff. Great place!!!
I thought the guy seemed really cool and knowledgeable. Really cool bikes!
Fyi Topper scooters were made in the USA for all production years, they were not made in Italy. They were produced from 1960 to 1965.
There is also a "What fits what-Harley Davidson". written by Kurt Heinrichs.( If I spelled his last name right... it's been since 1982) If I remember correctly he wrote a sequel as well
That dude has got some cool Brit Iron.
That Aermacchi is cool.. I want an SS 350, I just finished a 73 Z90 on my channel and am working through an SS 125 currently.. cool history on them!
really cool. love guys like this and their epic garages full of history
I love them norton commandos... i got dibs on one runner and a partsbike when the guy feels he is to old... he is like 70 but moves like he is 30, and rides like he is 20...

This dude has some of the coolest shit ever!
True but he's far from cool
Good for him, he is living his dream and so are you guys.
My grandfather has a 63 panhead just like that they're absolutely amazing bikes
I had an Ariel Square Four in 1967. Carburettor jammed open when I road it home from the garden it had been stored under a pile of carpets and tarpaulins.
It had been fitted with Jet Igniter plugs but they were as dead as dodos and I kicked it for hours but no joy so I put Champions in and it started first kick.
It wasn't for wealthy riders but for poorer ones who could not afford a car but could put a sidecar on and take the family to seaside.
Interesting shop...although I noticed everyone was coughing from the dust...you needed to wipe your feet when you left the building
with all due respect for his point if view...that '38 is restored and 150k?..I saw one of the 38s that sold he mentioned and his with the pitted chrome and other rough pieces wasnt close...and that trial 90 with a inch of dust..cobwebs hanging off it and a flat rear tire.."yea..I just drove it up there..it runs"...lol
Wow, a. Norton 750, what I took my motorcycle riding test on. I had never ridden a motorcycle before. Borrowed the bike from another mechanic in the shop to take the riding test. Experimented a bit on the ride to DMV. Took the riding test: figure 8,..riding the line...etc. I thought the test was too easy. Got the motorcycle endorsement added to my driver license, and returned the bike to my fellow mechanic. That was back in 1970. Owned many motorcycles since then. Also owned a Honda CT-110 trail bike which was great for going up into the mountains. In low range 1st gear, top speed was about 7mph. 4th gear high range was about 45mph. Couldn't go too fast on 7hp. Besides a Harley Tour Glide, and a Honda Goldwing, also owned a couple of Cushman motor scooters. I used the. Goldwing for serious long distance travel, but the Cushman scooters for fun local riding
Guy says he'll take 800 you pay 850 great business plan LOL
Srk didn’t buy that bike, they bought a different cub. One with more collectible stuff, but not the running one.
My grandpa has a 48’ Harley model s lightweight. Still runs and drives, all original except new paint.
You guys are hilarious! 😂😂😂
I had a Trail 90 and a CT 70 back in the late 1970's. They were considered a cheap disposable bike then . Amazing how many of them survived, which is a testament to Honda's build quality-John in Texas
when I was a kid I saved and bought a Honda Mini Trail 70. I rode the ish outta that thing, but changed the oil etc religiously. It was one tough little bike. Never missed a beat. However I did discover that running into a cinder block in a field of tall grass at 30mph with my cousin on the back would make it come to a complete stop *very* quickly. LOL
Being as Harley-Davidsons records were largely discarded years ago their archives are far from complete.
Ariel Motorcycles ceased production in 1967. BSA assassinated the brand name applying it to a 49cc tilting trike later sold as the honda gyro. Ariel Motor Company was founded in 2001
The Ariel Three was a nightmare. A friend hit a bump riding one, and the front wheel came off the ground. Since only one back wheel was driven, it then went into a pirouette, the tilting part finally pivoting sideways and dumping him on the ground, the actual owner, his girlfriend, was less than impressed.
“All original Harley” “got all the parts from swap meet”
Like that doesn't happen?. Look up the definition of the word patience, you may be able to benefit from it at some time.
@@justtowatch111 Maybe you could also look for the expression of getting your head out of your ass.
Getting parts in a swap meet doesn't "guarantee" that they are original parts.
well its not original then is it
it is bits and piece of different bikes
If all the parts are manufactured by Harley Davidson for that model and year then it's basically all original. Otherwise, the minute you changed a filter or spark plug for your bike, it would cease to be all original.
It gets complicated, 'all original' unless accompanied with 'numbers matching' to me implies nothing aftermarket/repop/pattern on the bike. An all original 48 with a 48 frame and engine is going to be worth less than a numbers matching frame, engine, tins, bike obviously.
Someone like that with that kind of collection, restoring a Square Four Ariel is going to have the knowledge or access to it to find original parts at a swap meet. Theres enough books, databases, online resources to do it.
I had one in West Africa with high and low gear. Great little bike, went everywhere.
I learned to ride on a Honda Trail-80 in the mid-80's. Good times, good times. Now, I'm up to 12 bikes but still have my 1st; a blue '81 Yamaha 400 Special II with 9999.7mi. ✌
My first bike was a '78 CB400T. I gave it to my brother nearly 30 years ago, and it's sitting in pieces in my Dad's shed. Maybe when I retire in a few years I'll fix it up and relive some of the days of my youth.
In Aus it was the quickest point to point bike.Are we talking 2 stroke
Here in UK we call them bikes that u bought a peddle and pop or a stepper and I guarantee they run without battery unless the ones in America are different some how.... We used to ride them off road for a bit of fun as kids... And the battery would always go flat half of the time so we would just use them without the battery and just use the kick start or just bump start them... They are great bikes and great fun off road....
