    I've binge watched this channel for the last 4 hours and I have to say I have the utmost admiration for you exploring in the Bus, I came across this as the you-tube algorithm must have seen me watching "Monkey bike" vids and recommended the channel, and it takes me back 40 years when I was between jobs and relocating and myself and wife rented a tumbledown "motorhome" and toured Scotland, what fun we had, and after relocating to southern England, 6 weeks later, my wife announced the pregnancy of our first child, so a great bonus (not suggesting you do that LOL) But living your life on your own terms is what it's all about, and I have really enjoyed watching these vids. I'm on my own now, both my sons and my wife have sadly passed away, and I ride motorcycles everyday in Wales UK, Life can be hard, so use all your available time to enjoy yourself and live life to the full, here one second, gone the next, take care and kind regards from Wales UK.

    You was talking about problems with your bike, and it reminded me when I was younger, I was following my step brother on his motorcycle. He had been drinking a little and ended up laying the bike over. No one was hurt, but the bike wouldn't start with the push button starter. We was out in the country on a paved road, so we decided I would push him and he would try to dump the clutch and start it that way. I'm very stubborn, so I pushed him over and over again, and he tried many times, but the bike wouldn't start. I was young, so I probably pushed him a mile before I was finally winded enough to tell him it was his turn to push me. I got on the bike and immediately noticed that the little flip switch was not turned to the "run" position. It was amazing how when I turned it to run, the bike started with the starter. All that effort... But in the end, like your loose battery wire, it is nice that it was something simple.

    When you drop your bike it's easier to pick back up if you turn the front wheel toward the side thats down. This lifts the bike up a few inches. Now hold the bars by the lower side hand grip with one hand, put your other hand back on the frame by the seat or just behind. Put your behind on the seat, then push with your legs.picking it up by just using the handle bars can bend them.
    Your legs are the strongest muscles you have. It may take a few tries to get the knack of doing it. Once you learn this technique you can pick up heavy bikes with no problems.

    Hi Emma love how you just have a go. Don’t stress about dropping your bike, It happens and you’re only new to riding. I’ve been riding road bikes since I was 21 and I’m 55 now and still have dropped my current bike. The last time I dropped it I forgot to put the side stand down when I got off. How dumb is that lol.

    As an in-experienced builder, but willing to take on any project, no matter how complicated, myself, I related to your bus build series very well. I have discussed with my wife, that our soon-to-be RV conversion, no matter what platform we settle on, is going to look a lot like yours. To that note, I find the imperfect nature of your build to be... ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Well done. :)

    Emma, they make luggage racks for the Honda Monkey. You will find a lot of aftermarket stuff online in the $150.00 range. real easy bolt on upgrade for you. It would make it a lot more utilitarian for your uses.

  • @leonhart2452
    @leonhart2452 Год назад +1

    A luggage rack mounted on the back of your bike to tie down loads to will make your bike easier to ride.
    Carrying weight in your back pack raises the center of gravity. Tieing the back pack down to a luggage rack lowers the center of gravity. Being tied down keeps the weight more stable. On your back it can flop around.

    I made a camera buoy out of a piece of conduit and foam noodle that would float about a foot above the water. it would spin with the waves but I put a slit in another noodle and put the buoy through it forming a T, which stabilized that camera so it wouldn't spin. Awesome shots with both options.

    Emma, I can see you are having a great vacation, make sure you do all that you want to. There should be a compressor fitted to the bus, which supplies air for the brakes, there should also be an outlet of some sort, where you can connect a hose and then you could fill your paddle board from the bus, also great for checking your tyre pressures.
