I don't know if you need a spare gas can. If you ran out, Just turn off the petcock, remove the tank, and you have a locking gas can! 😆 That was another thing about "the monkey", They were simple, and easy to work on.
If I ever find Myself in Minnesota, I know what campground I'm going to pay to stay in! the barns are bigger, But the people there still seem pretty downhome.
That camp host was so awesome. People love to see a motorcyclist on a crazy adventure. This is why you should be open to a conversation with everyone that you meet on your motorcycle trips. You never know where it might lead you.
As the video just passed 40k views and my sub count is finally crossing 4k I’d just like to say I’m totally stoked about the support and all the love coming in for the video and the campground lady 😂 You people rock!!!
I subbed after this video and watching your other uploads now. I gotta say I really like what you are doing here. I hope for more uploads and content like this monkey bike stuff!
Duuuude, that is freaking BADA$$ 517mi on $20!?!?! Haaaa, I'm over here in my 6.2L LS denali laying down single digit gas mileage like she's a tank for sure and has all the soccer ballz with 500hp/500tqe (obviously not to the tires but with minor bolt on power adders and a tune) tons of fun however even if I'm nice to it I'm not even close to 10mpg I believe I average 6mpgs smh! The cool part is with having all-time AWD n zero traction issues I'm able to smoke the brand new dodge cars/trucks (obvs not the hellkitty's) and most stuff that pulls up next to me and sees the only two stickers I have for the MBRP exhaust so either they wanna hear it or they're wondering if the tank is able to move out lol either way they always seem to want to challenge me which I graciously accept then promptly blow their doors off 😂 my buddy has a manual trans Hemi charger a bit older one super nice car sounds great but he cannot come within a bus length of my rear bumper when I drop the skinny pedal... Again though, gas mileage hahaha yeah whats that never heard of it? 🤔🤷♂️😝🥴🤦♂️
Looks like fun. In 1980 I rode bicycle from NYC to Miami then across FL then north and west out the panhandle to Houston. All paper road maps. Camped out in school yards and grave yards. Was 21 years old. Now I'm 66 but I'll never forget that adventure.
I get anywhere between 120 to 130 mpg on a 23' Honda Trail 125, I spend about $3.20 per filling - about 1.2 gallons - once a week, so for a 4 week month that's about 13 bucks. So $20 covers a whole month and another 2 weeks worth of gas. Never in my life have I ever spend so little on gas until I got my Trial. I love my Honda Trail.
@@trevorgifford8917 He would be like hey im doing a youtube video to see if I can go cross country on donations if you could fill up my tank for 3 bucks that would be awesome and do you want to be on the video? :P but yes if you are asking people for like 20-50 bucks to fill up that is really annoying but 1 gallon isnt a big deal.
I put knobby tires on my Grom and lost tons of MPG. If you run street tires, they are lighter and you will pick up MPG and a bit of top end. I switched back to street tires. Great vid!!
It’s oxbow right outside Byron mn lived here my whole life. Beautiful little park for hiking and camping. They also have a small zoo and children’s nature center to check out.
Man. Sometimes the recommended videos are actually good. This is one of them. Glad I found the channel. Subbed! Maybe I’ll do the same challenge on a DRZ!
Dude, wtf! Man I was rewatching your last video and was thinking that they’re really well done. They are recorded and edited with obvious care and talent and I bet you could really do well with more content. Tony being without rain gear, or almost any gear period is a laugh, fuck sakes man! Watched the entire video, outstanding brother! Cheers,,,,, from Canada !
This video popped up on my recommended list last night, and I just wanted to say thanks, I was up till 4 am watching your channel and now I’m at work on 2 hours of sleep and I’ve spent my entire day researching used bikes and planning a route following the coast of the Great Lakes, from Detroit to Niagara Falls into Canada then back to wibdsor and up and around Thunder Bay and then Duluth, then through the UP and down the west coast of Michigan ….great channel, thanks for the inspiration and making my day extremely long today
Hell yea. Trips like these are the best and the ones you'll remember for the rest of your lives. I love taking long-distance rides on a motorcycle. The wind, rain, bugs, and freedom of the open road is why I absolutely love riding motorcycles. One hell of a video, guys. Thanks for sharing your trip!
Cowboy coffee - boil water with the grounds for about five minutes. Here's the trick: remove from heat and throw in some cold water after that so the grounds will sink to the bottom. You're welcome!
I rode a 235-mile round trip on a Yamaha Zuma 50cc the same day. It's one of my favorite rides. Rides like you are doing are the ones you always remember. Great job...✌️
It’s true what they use to say in the 60s.. You meet the nicest people on a Honda.. you ever get in to eastern Virginia, hit me up. I’ll show you around. I have two 2020 Monkeys (and a YT channel as well😉) This was a great idea you had.. very cool!! Great video..
Dude I’m so glad this got recommend to me! This video was great and you definitely earned a subscriber! I’m from Illinois so I know how Iowa feels, I love going north but I’ve only been to the north shore once. You’re making me want a mini again!
The super nice camp lady that enjoyed and respected ur challenge is the reason i had to comment! Its people like her that we stumble across on accident that can make the most profound change in our lives!!
Great video. Your channel came up on my recommendations. Definitely subscribed. Look forward to future vids. I have a 2023 Honda Trail 125. It has been the best bike I have ever owned. Way more fun than bigger bikes.
I got up this morning and said to myself, “I wanna see a guy ride as far as he can on a Honda Monkey for $20.” Quite a coincidence, huh? You’re pretty cool dude. Thanks for me taking along for the ride. And as for your buddy, “freedom mph.” It just doesn’t get any better than that.
An early bike of mine was a brand-new 1969 Honda 125cc "twin" cylinder trail bike. The 3rd gear, wound out, could get me almost to 90mph but, 4th would drop to 80. One of my favorite bikes, many hours of fun!
Dude this was such an awesome watch. I could only imagine how thrilled you were to get the monkey in to Canada!!! I’m close to the Windsor border and will now be making a trip with my buddies on our groms. Subbed. How is this channel not blowing up right now
Fun adventure. Hope you enjoyed your time in Minnesota and come back soon. I got me a Honda ADV160 and intend to do the same kind of inexpensive 2 wheel touring.
He only did 517 miles on 20 dollars. The return trip and a little more was probably another 20 dollars depending on wind being at his back going home. I had a monkey for a while before trading for a WR250R.
@@Motodoggo_ No. He spent $20 and made 517 miles on that amount. You would need to know exactly how much gas he pumped into the motorcycle in order to learn the miles per gallon. If he got the gas for 3.50 per gallon that would mean he burned 5.71 gallons. 517/5.71=90.5 mpg. When I had my monkey bike I got between 85-110 mpg depending on how hard I rode and the quality of fuel. The total trip this guy took was 1092 miles. He probably got even better than 90.5 mpg coming back because he had a north wind pushing him.
@@dwightsmith4641he did say he was riding it at full wick. He is going to be towards the bottom of the average on mpg. I can get 125-155 mpg on my 640 vulcan. It just varies on how hard im pushing
@@LuciferMorningstar-wk8qu Ok. Motodoggo erased the comment where his math was a little off. I have no idea what this man’s mpg was on his monkey because he clearly stopped at three different if not four different gas stations. I doubt he paid 3.50 a gallon all three or four times he stopped. It looked as though he pegged it a few times, but other times it looked like he was going slower. If your Vulcan gets that good a gas mileage and you want to get better then the monkey would be a step down. I only get about 68 mpg on my wr250r, I am lucky to get 45mpg on my GSA1200.
Hello from wales uk.i really enjoyed your vlog and your challenge..made me laugh and smile.thankyou and looking forward to many more. Love and respect always.
As someone born and raised in MN, take time to just drive roads from Brainerd north. You also came through MN in our worst year for rain in a LONG time lol
Nice video! There is a guy called Pablo Imhoff who is travelling from Ushuahia to Alaska on a Honda C90 from 1990's and he's currently at Mexico crossing the border to the USA.
Cool ride, thanks for bringing me a long. Love the monkey. I had one i was 7 years old. Great bike. So many memories on that thing. I still have scares from that bike at 59.
Cool trip man. On thing tho at 17:40 ish haha that lady deserved a hug and a thank you. Not a glance at your buddy and a checking your watch while she gives her little ad for her place. She was super courteous and you can literally see the joy in her eye when your buddy explains your adventure. She just wants visitors and to keep her camp running to keep hearing peoples stories it seems to me. Be more grateful when someone gives you something for free out of the goodness of their heart. Other than that I like the video and keep doing you man! THE FUCKIN CALL ABOUT RIPPING FARTS FROM YOUR GIRL BAHAHAHA. Epic ending in canada and the becoming of an illegal alien.
First time here, randomly got suggested your video in my feed. That host is an angel and I hope the world is forever kind to her. Your content rocks! Keep up the amazing work mate. Another subscriber :)
You went right past my place! I bought a 93 Goldwing after your Key West adventure. It would have been fun to join you on the $20 adventure but the Goldwing will only go 200 miles on $20.
This video was a blast to watch. Can’t imagine what it would be like to actually experience it! Thanks for the awesome video. You deserve more subscribers tbh
I don't know how I got recommended this video and channel, but I'm glad I was. I'm like "That dude looks familiar, isn't that the guy who bought the Junkyard Digs RV?" Turns out you are, while I enjoyed the RV videos, I enjoy the motorcycle videos more! Thanks for putting in the work.
I’ve watched 3 minutes into this video and I must say using a traditional map riding a “vintage style” bike is so bad to the bone man! I’ve wanted a monkey cuz I want a bike I can handle and I mainly want something for in town but it’s cool to see it’s able to take on some back roads pretty well! (Mind me asking your weight? Just curious cuz I’m a bit bigger looks like you were able to hit 59/60 on that downhill)
I just got home from a 7 (supposed to be 9) day ride through Nevada and Colorado, USA. I had to come home early because, apparently, who would have guessed, racing a Adv Bike from 2,000 feet (690m) to 14'111 feet (4'301m) in 35 minutes was a dumb idea, stupid Pikes Peak. Well, to be fair, I did it several times, at slightly lower elevation, over Wolf Creek Pass and Cottonwood Pass. Then I camped at like 11'000 feet (3,332m). I got altitude sickness. I recently buried my dad, and will soon bury my Mom. I have watched my friends do the dance with the heart, lungs and cancer. At 51 (going on 12) I figured I better do the stuff I want to now, before I can't or I become worm food. Stupid Risk has been my middle name, now, instead of doing it for pay, I do it for the love, the joy, the rapture of riding. God Bless my Aussie and Canadian brothers and Sisters who ride for the love, the joy and the freedom of it.
Wish there were more people like you around here. I can never find anyone to ride my adv150 or xr150 with “it’s too small” says all the big bore speed demons. 😂
Shit man i ride a royal enfield 350 lol i have a 650 int and a 1200 bonneville also but the 350 could hang, its hard to have one of those little guys here in texas since speeds are up there
A chain that loose can double over and lock your wheel. Leatherman and a crescent wrench for the little stuff. Looked like fun! Drove a Honda 90 Sport from Yakima to Moses Lake in '64' at night. Two lane but the moon was bright! Thanks for the memory brother!
The sound of rain hitting the tent brings back great memories for me. I used to go hiking a lot in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. I once had a tent that was 'rainproof', meaning rather that once the rain got in, it stayed in, providing ample proof that it had rained.
What is this thing he’s looking at to know where he is going with all theses squiggly lines on it? Why is it frozen on the same image and not reacting when he uses its touch screen?
I may have been to Oxbow. In any case, I spent years living in Southern MN and SW Wisconsin. When you mentioned highway 218, there's a song by the Gear Daddies ( from the Austin area) called "218 is a lonely road". I enjoyed the Mississippi river valley cities; La Crosse, Red Wing, Lake City, etc. Anyway, thanks for the virtual tour!
It's not the size of the bike on the adventure, it's the size of the adventure done with the bike. I love all of these tiny bikes; TW200, the Honda Mini-Moto stuff, VanVan. All great little bikes. The next step up is still fun too; Versys-X 300 and 390 Adventure both offer just a little more performance and still similar smiles per mile.
This is the first video I've watched on your channel. I love it! I've been looking at Honda Scl500s. I'm thinking about hitting the road to record some journeys of my own once I can get a week or two off from trucking!
What's good? I wad hoping you was good. Haven't seen you on the tube for a long min. Glad to see you back. I'd love to get me a little bike just to putt around on. Great adventure!
All is well. I’m working on posting more content this year and building up the channel. I was hoping to film a series of riding through Mexico last year and it fell through so hopefully this’ll be my year
Should've really put a smaller rear sprocket on for a long distance mileage challenge. You ride right through my mom's town she lives in. That was cool I've ridden those roads and highways for decades. It's the perfect ride to me and I've traveled most of the Florida to Minnesota road trip routes. You should've stayed along the West side of Minnesota it's way better!
Great video guys. Love the $20 bike challenge. Btw, I have a Super Tenere also. Love the unique sound of the Super Tenere. Great riding comfortable bike too, loaded with niceties like ABS. Makes huge difference in handling under rapid braking emergency stops etc.
For those wondering about the Camp Spot, it's Oxbow Park & Zollman Zoo in Byron, MN.
5731 County Rd 105 NW, Byron, MN 55920
Yeah i live right here in west concord so we head out there all the time for the swimming lmao
Thank You for posting up this information. That lady knows how to run a business!
I don't know if you need a spare gas can. If you ran out, Just turn off the petcock, remove the tank, and you have a locking gas can! 😆 That was another thing about "the monkey", They were simple, and easy to work on.
What is your gear ratio and tire diameter? I have a 125 and can bearly get to 50?
I am 65 ,been on bikes my whole life ,I want a monkey
That camp host was the sweetest lady ever. I hope there’s good people out there supporting her
She is the definition of "Minnesota nice".
Yea it's nice when you show up on bikes to a spot and the first person who comes up to you has a big ole smile on their face.
If I ever find Myself in Minnesota, I know what campground I'm going to pay to stay in! the barns are bigger, But the people there still seem pretty downhome.
You know the lady with a ragtop purple pt cruiser is gonna be the bomb already
I clicked on this video randomly just to watch you immediately drive through my town and past the street I live on. What a small world.
I know right same homie got close to me too
The algorithms likely know where you live I also was just over in this area last week. Still crazy that it was your exact street!
I live in canada

Right free campsite and I bet she would have donated gas money if it was that kind of challenge. The world needs more people like her

Maybe one day, I will do a Gulfcoast Scoot north on my PCX 160, and see just how far it will go!
Awesome video! What pants are you riding in?
I am 66, female, never owned a motorcycle. I don't know how your video got in my feed, but I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Looks like fun. In 1980 I rode bicycle from NYC to Miami then across FL then north and west out the panhandle to Houston. All paper road maps. Camped out in school yards and grave yards. Was 21 years old. Now I'm 66 but I'll never forget that adventure.
Have you thought about doing it again
I get anywhere between 120 to 130 mpg on a 23' Honda Trail 125, I spend about $3.20 per filling - about 1.2 gallons - once a week, so for a 4 week month that's about 13 bucks. So $20 covers a whole month and another 2 weeks worth of gas. Never in my life have I ever spend so little on gas until I got my Trial. I love my Honda Trail.
But what if it was a 250cc and got us where we are going a little sooner. 70mpg still aint bad. Better than a prius
If you're gonna compromise mpg for speed just get a cbr500. Highway speeds and still gets 60+ mpg
@@gloriahavland9844Rather have that Trail 125 than that Honda 500. One of the most soulless bikes made.
I get 55mpg with my 2005 prius and I can haul my dog , canoe, large cooler, and can sleep in the back.
@@driftlesshermitmost ppl here would rather die than drive a Prius

I was going to suggest the same thing, he'll definitely get a good increase in MPG with a good set of street tires.
10% easily. The resistance is lower but the weight is the big thing. The rotating weight matters.
I won't balk at 900 miles on 20 bucks any day
you need to shout that campsite out because she was so sweet and inviting, i hope she gets so much business and what a beautiful property

She just wants visitors and to keep her camp running to keep hearing peoples stories it seems to me. Be more grateful when someone gives you something for free out of the goodness of their heart.
Other than that I like the video and keep doing you man! THE FUCKIN CALL ABOUT RIPPING FARTS FROM YOUR GIRL BAHAHAHA.
Epic ending in canada and the becoming of an illegal alien.
What a random video im from Thunder Bay and paved that road into it lol.
I love how this changed from "we just goin" to "Shiiiittt... do we go to Canada???" ahahaha so entertaining... making me really miss my grom though
Drinking and driving/riding I'm done.good day.

This was a fabulous video! Loved every second of it!
Shout out to the camp ground lady! Great content!
First time here, randomly got suggested your video in my feed. That host is an angel and I hope the world is forever kind to her. Your content rocks! Keep up the amazing work mate. Another subscriber :)
You went right past my place! I bought a 93 Goldwing after your Key West adventure. It would have been fun to join you on the $20 adventure but the Goldwing will only go 200 miles on $20.
Now you’ll have to buy a monkey too!
This video was a blast to watch. Can’t imagine what it would be like to actually experience it! Thanks for the awesome video. You deserve more subscribers tbh
So it sounds to me like key west is only $75 away via Monkey
Save that for another video haha
I don't know how I got recommended this video and channel, but I'm glad I was. I'm like "That dude looks familiar, isn't that the guy who bought the Junkyard Digs RV?" Turns out you are, while I enjoyed the RV videos, I enjoy the motorcycle videos more! Thanks for putting in the work.
That was beautiful! I want a monkey now!
Ive always loved these kind of videos. If you keep your level of authusiasm then ill be with you all the way man. Thanks for your video
This is awesome. Repping Des Moines here. Iowa boys represent.
That camp host is awesome!
I’ve watched 3 minutes into this video and I must say using a traditional map riding a “vintage style” bike is so bad to the bone man! I’ve wanted a monkey cuz I want a bike I can handle and I mainly want something for in town but it’s cool to see it’s able to take on some back roads pretty well! (Mind me asking your weight? Just curious cuz I’m a bit bigger looks like you were able to hit 59/60 on that downhill)
Go to my channel page and watch the Mississippi River monkey video. We take two monkeys and my buddy I’m riding with is a big dude
28:00 "61, *bleep*" 🤣
Hey' This was awesome! were did you leave from in Iowa, I am south edge of DSM. IA Thanks
I just got home from a 7 (supposed to be 9) day ride through Nevada and Colorado, USA. I had to come home early because, apparently, who would have guessed, racing a Adv Bike from 2,000 feet (690m) to 14'111 feet (4'301m) in 35 minutes was a dumb idea, stupid Pikes Peak. Well, to be fair, I did it several times, at slightly lower elevation, over Wolf Creek Pass and Cottonwood Pass. Then I camped at like 11'000 feet (3,332m). I got altitude sickness.
I recently buried my dad, and will soon bury my Mom. I have watched my friends do the dance with the heart, lungs and cancer. At 51 (going on 12) I figured I better do the stuff I want to now, before I can't or I become worm food. Stupid Risk has been my middle name, now, instead of doing it for pay, I do it for the love, the joy, the rapture of riding. God Bless my Aussie and Canadian brothers and Sisters who ride for the love, the joy and the freedom of it.
17min in, that campsite gal was cool as heck! (fellow Iowan, of the southern flavor here lol) awesome video!

Wish there were more people like you around here. I can never find anyone to ride my adv150 or xr150 with “it’s too small” says all the big bore speed demons. 😂
Shit man i ride a royal enfield 350 lol i have a 650 int and a 1200 bonneville also but the 350 could hang, its hard to have one of those little guys here in texas since speeds are up there
I have an Africa Twin and a brand new Transalp, and I put more miles on my XR150 than the other 2.
A chain that loose can double over and lock your wheel. Leatherman and a crescent wrench for the little stuff. Looked like fun! Drove a Honda 90 Sport from Yakima to Moses Lake in '64' at night. Two lane but the moon was bright! Thanks for the memory brother!
Awesome lady!!!! 17:14
"It's good, but it's missing a little bit of...FREEDOM" Love it! Great video dudes.
Time to give the monkey a bit of TLC, loved being part of your journey
Man. I absolutely loved that video! What a fun trip you guys had.

The sound of rain hitting the tent brings back great memories for me.
I used to go hiking a lot in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.
I once had a tent that was 'rainproof', meaning rather that once the rain got in, it stayed in, providing ample proof that it had rained.
What is this thing he’s looking at to know where he is going with all theses squiggly lines on it? Why is it frozen on the same image and not reacting when he uses its touch screen?
Dude 🙌 first time watching and I loved it. Great video all around.
I may have been to Oxbow. In any case, I spent years living in Southern MN and SW Wisconsin. When you mentioned highway 218, there's a song by the Gear Daddies ( from the Austin area) called "218 is a lonely road". I enjoyed the Mississippi river valley cities; La Crosse, Red Wing, Lake City, etc. Anyway, thanks for the virtual tour!
It's not the size of the bike on the adventure, it's the size of the adventure done with the bike. I love all of these tiny bikes; TW200, the Honda Mini-Moto stuff, VanVan. All great little bikes. The next step up is still fun too; Versys-X 300 and 390 Adventure both offer just a little more performance and still similar smiles per mile.
More open borders!! Fun video. C90 Adventures is another great channel!! Looking forward to your next adventure!!
This is the first video I've watched on your channel. I love it! I've been looking at Honda Scl500s. I'm thinking about hitting the road to record some journeys of my own once I can get a week or two off from trucking!
Really great video! Truly look forward to more stuff like this!
What's good? I wad hoping you was good. Haven't seen you on the tube for a long min. Glad to see you back. I'd love to get me a little bike just to putt around on. Great adventure!
All is well. I’m working on posting more content this year and building up the channel. I was hoping to film a series of riding through Mexico last year and it fell through so hopefully this’ll be my year
Should've really put a smaller rear sprocket on for a long distance mileage challenge. You ride right through my mom's town she lives in. That was cool I've ridden those roads and highways for decades. It's the perfect ride to me and I've traveled most of the Florida to Minnesota road trip routes. You should've stayed along the West side of Minnesota it's way better!
Great video guys. Love the $20 bike challenge. Btw, I have a Super Tenere also. Love the unique sound of the Super Tenere. Great riding comfortable bike too, loaded with niceties like ABS. Makes huge difference in handling under rapid braking emergency stops etc.
Awesome, fun video. Loved em all. Can’t wait to see more from you.
What a pleasure this was to watch 👍
i love how ya'll stopped at a bar, a few drinks later "holy shit we're going to canada" lmfaoo
Yep, that is living, boys!
I can hear, interlaced in the footage, the calling of the road beckoning...very cool. 💪😎👌
I love videos like this. Great job man
