- Today is Wednesday, July 6, 2022, and I'm taking my Super Cub out for a work commute today. I'm rambling on multiple topics, so skip around with the chapter markers below.
Saddlemen Standard Sport Tunnel Bag: amzn.to/2WwmHTE
Kijima Rear Carrier: japan.webike.net/products/240...
Kijima Bag Supports: japan.webike.net/products/239...
Olympia 734 Digital Protectors: amzn.to/3sCDeTu
Garmin Zumo 396 LMT-S: amzn.to/3xrnWlt
I think that I might leave this @saddlemenusa Sport Tunnel Bag on the Cub semi-permanently. It fits onto my Kijima rear rack perfectly, and it neatly hauls a @schlotzskys11 large deluxe original sandwich, four bottles of water, and other stuff with plenty of room to spare... plenty of room to spare... plenty of room to spare. Echo? Dang, this thing is big! 🤣👍

Good to see your Cub again.
Personally i would want you to take the Navi. Because its kind of an "unticked box".
The only real problem i see is 1)Fuel/range performance is horrible. The Navi already does bad MPG and you're gonna be on full throttle all day for days,and 2) You will be slowing Adrian down considerably. Even if you fix your air/fuel mixture and add fuel cells,you're stuck doing 50-55mph while Adrian is able to do nearly 70.
Smart choice:PCX.
Adventurous(possibly lunatic🤣) choice:Navi.
Man. If you take the Navi, you'll FOREVER be the small bore cannonball run hero, Quasi.
That would be a true badge of honor! No trophies, no prizes... just the bragging rights of polishing my "biggest brass balls" award! 🤣👍 --QM
I like the way you always keep up the chatter
Hello and greetings from Karthik India. Just a suggestion why don't you make a video of you working and cleaning your warehouse and a quick sneak peak into the scooters and motorcycles you have parked inside. It will be very interesting and much appreciated. Thank you in advance
That's a great idea! I plan to do a short series of teaser videos and behind-the-scenes stuff. However, I'll try to clean things up a bit more before I show everyone my mess! 🤣👍 --QM
Can you also show the code to the door opener keypad :)
@@clarson2916 Sure, no problem! I'll just put a credit card swipe on the front door and a subway turnstile on the garage door for the bikes so people can check out the bikes one at a time. 🤣👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Thank you so much sir for accepting my request. Happy riding
Oh man! You make the vote hard! Still leaning towards the PCX though 😊
Thanks for the awesome channel!!
Huge thanks for back to you and Nathan for watching! You make it all worthwhile! 👏😉👍 --QM
Thank you for the video! QM
Nice saddle bags Aaron I purchased saddle bags for my Piaggio but did not fit because of wide seat on the back! I am going make my own custom saddle stripes to fit it better!
It’s insane but Navi all the way. Can’t wait to see the videos from that.
Hello handsome. Great video.
Take the PCX. I think it would be painful to watch the Navi struggle 😂
Great video. Yammi Noob talks about Honda's small bikes on his channel today.
Thanks! I'll check out Yammi's video to hear his opinions. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Love the mini moto videos, keep up the great work. Quick question: which small displacement Honda bike that you have is your favorite?
That's the most common question that I get about the mini-motos. The Super Cub is definitely my favorite out of the trio right now. I might add a 2023 Honda Grom to the stable sometime soon, so we'll see if it can top the SC... that'll be a tough task! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Amazing channel! Lots and lots of good stuff. Just as a side note we pay 2,18 US dollars per liter of gas in Sweden. Insane.
Thanks for the feedback, and greetings from the USA! Our fuel prices are still rising... Texas is $4.20/gallon, and our national average is $4.66 as of today for base unleaded gasoline. We're still paying less than many parts of the world, but that's nearly 2X what we paid just a year ago. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
i rode my wing today. haven't rode in awhile. it felt so scary at first. i was just taking my time to Kountze but when i looked down i was running 90 mph. a couple times. ok question about the Navi will have the power to pull all the gear.
Howdy, Glen! I actually got my SilverWing running again and ride it home from the warehouse a few days ago! The problem was in the starter switch... it's still a bit hitchy, so I need to rip the switch pod apart for a thorough cleaning.
I think the Navi would have enough steam to run the Cannonball, but it'll be a slow ride. I wouldn't load it too heavily... definitely less stuff than I took on the Super Cub last year. It will certainly need a better rear rack that can reliably support about 25-30 pounds of gear and supplies:
- spare rear tire
- spare CVT belt and rollers/sliders
- oil change kit
- emergency road kit (flat kit, tools, tire levers, first-aid, etc)
- lightweight motocamping kit
- minimal personal effects (2 changes of clothes, personal hygiene, etc)
- electronics and A/V gear for recording and live streaming the journey (that's the biggest challenge)
Taking the Navi on the SCBR would definitely be a challenge, but that's the appeal! 😉👍 --QM
Hi Quasi. Love the videos. Please pardon my ignorance. What is the item mounted on the bike in front of you? It looks like a mounted canteen or an extra fuel tank. Thanks!
Howdy, Tim, and thanks for the feedback! That red auxiliary tank is one of only two "Neil tanks" in existence! I have one on my Cub, and a friend of mine, Adrian, has the other one. Our buddy, Neil, custom fabricated those tanks and mounting cradles for us before we left on our 10K-mile trip for the 2021 Scooter Cannonball Run.
They hold about 1.3 gallons, but they aren't plumbed into the main fuel supply. We used them as emergency fuel supplies and as transfer tanks during our extended road trip. You can see it in action here: czcams.com/video/NYjmV7FqLOM/video.html . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Thanks for the quick reply, Quasi. Can't wait to check out more of your videos!
Great channel...love the Cub !! Based in the UK, can I ask where you sourced the extra fuel tank ?? Looks to be quite a neat solution...

@@QuasiMotard Mate thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Just negotiating to buy a Cub to add to my Triumph Daytona R. Its a bit of nostalgia for me because my father used to commute daily on a C90 in the 60's. Cheers !!
I think you shot take Honda 150 because Navi be uncomfortable for that long drive and taking those HWY & back roads it be to danger! Mr. Aaron 🍻
Take the PCX150 with no modifications. Master the event first, then make it more challenging. :)
I'm already a Cannonball Run alumni after completing it last year in the Super Cub. The routes are always different, so it's more about prep and perseverance than anything else.
The 2023 run might be a good opportunity to try the Navi because it's "only" 3170 miles compared to last year's 4550 mile route: scootercannonball.com/route . My round trip will be around 6K miles after riding to and from the race start and end points. Fuel capacity and range would be the big hurdles for the Navi. 😉👍 --QM
Do you think the super cub is a good choice for someone who has only ever ridden scooters? I'm a fan of the simplicity of twist and go but also really like the styling and design of the cub. The sifting doesn't seem like to big of a deal once i get used to it since i don't have to feather a clutch.
The Super Cub is a fantastic machine for riders from any background or skill level. Shifting gears smoothly takes a bit of practice becasue the clutch engagement is controlled by the shift lever itself. The beauty of the Cub's centrifugal auto-clutch is that you never have to worry about slipping the clutch or stalling the engine from a stop.
There is a different timing and technique to shifting the semi-auto transmission compared to a traditional hand clutch. Smooth release of the shift lever is the trick because that's what re-engages the drive clutch. Experienced motorcyclists need a few miles to retrain their motor memory on shift timing, but newer riders can usually learn to shift smoothly almost immediately.
Note that there is a second clutch (a traditional wet clutch pack) that is attached to the transmission input shaft, and that's what is briefly disengaged when you operate the shift lever. The centrifugal (automatic) clutch is what drives the input of the traditional clutch, so that takes away the need to manually disengage the clutch while idling at a stop (low engine RPM's below the engagement point). Check out this video if you'd like to see the guts of the clutches: czcams.com/video/rYjO_8luido/video.html . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've become hooked on your ride videos, keep churning them out!
That Navi could be a painful choice in a lot of ways. Go for the PCX...Or you could get the NEW PCX 160 and give us an extensive ride report :)
BTW, did you see they released the dimensions/stats for the ADV that will be using the 160 engine? Looks like they lowered seat and it may also have more under seat storage.
Yes, I saw those early stats for the Asian market bikes. I hope those hold true for the US market and that they bring them here soon! 😉👍 --QM
Hey Quasi, your actually considering the Navi? If anybody could pull that off I have little doubt that it'll be you! Adrian can always stick out his leg and push you along whenever you need it! But seriously you think that it could make the trip? I thought years ago someone rode either a 49cc Ruckus or Zuma throughout a SCB. The big worry is how much saddle time are you going to have to put in? All the best - stay hydrated!
Howdy, Dean! Yep, I'm still considering the Navi for the 2023 SCBR trip. It will definitely be a challenge, but that's part of the appeal. I know that a few people have competed on 50cc scooters like the Honda Ruckus, Yamaha C3, and Yamaha Zuma... not sure how many of them finished or how long the ride days were for them.
I think it would make the trip without any problems, but the fuel and top-speed logistics are the critical factors. I'll need to dig into the route to check the highways and distances involved to know if its feasible or not. The fuel contingency can be tackled with a larger fuel cell and/or jerry cans. The road speeds and longest day will be more tricky if I'm limited to 45-50 MPH. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
From the looks of it, I’m guessing that Saddlemen bag would be too big for my OEM Honda rear rack on the Super Cub.
Yes, the OEM rack would be too short, so the rear of the Saddlemen bag would probably hang off too far. 😉👍 --QM
Wonder if he would make a hitch for the cmx300a rebel
I'm sure that it can be done. Joel at KipMoto only needed detailed dimensions and pictures of my Super Cub to construct the prototype mounts for Adrian and I last year, and those worked out great! I'm planning to ask Joel if he might consider building hitches for the PCX150 and the Rebel 1100 as well. 😉👍 --QM
Hi handsome. Great topic. I would like to buy a 2023 yamaha Xmax for the year scooter cb. The yamaha is a 292 cc and the cutoff is277cc.
I considered the XMAX 300 for the Cannonball as well, but the displacement cutoff disqualifies it. The Honda Forza 300 slips in just under the limit at 279.2 cc's, so that's what a lot of the riders chose for the 2021 SCBR event. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
were did you get that external fuel tank asking for a friend lol
That's one of only two "Neil tanks" in existence! I have one on my Cub, and a friend of mine, Adrian, has the other one. Our buddy, Neil, custom fabricated those tanks and mounting cradles for us before we left on the 2021 Scooter Cannonball Run last year. They hold about 1.3 gallons, but they aren't plumbed into the main fuel supply. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
what gear you wear? cant stand this houston heat. lol.
Man, I hear ya... it's HOT in H-town! One word: MESH! I typically wear one of my mesh jackets, mesh gloves, and a modular helmet with good airflow (links below):
Jacket: Fly Racing Flux Air Mesh amzn.to/3uNfz3t
Gloves: Olympia 734 Digital Protector mesh gloves amzn.to/3HtjY0y
Boots: TCX Explorer EVO GoreTex amzn.to/3O1RWuE
Socks: Darn Tough Micro Crew Ultra-light amzn.to/3P7l2tZ
Helmet: SHOEI NeoTec II amzn.to/3P8ixHX , or Schuberth C5 amzn.to/3o405US
Modular helmets let me flip the lids open when I'm baking in stop-n-go traffic so I don't overheat as quickly. Beyond the list above, I typically wear an athletic shirt under my main shirt to keep me from sweating through as badly. I also use Gold Bond powder ( amzn.to/3chIt5n ) in my shorts, socks, and boots... just to keep the odors to a minimum. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Quasi, give yourself a break. Give your riding partner a break. PCX with trailer my vote! Well, unless you can find an old Briggs & Stratton minibike...then...
I'm thinking about strapping a gas-powered leaf blower to a shopping cart! 🤣👍 --QM
Rig you up a bigger gas tank on the Navi
Yep... it would definitely need a 3+ gallon fuel cell down where the storage box is now. 😉👍 --QM
Don't do the Navi. You will be beyond miserable and I don't think it will make the trip too well. If you do take plenty of belts because they smoke belts at top speed (especially with lighter rollers).
random schlotzskys ad there lol
I thought about asking for a sponsorship for free grub! I knew that someone would eventually ask what food was in the bag, so I slapped the Schlotsky's logo on there in advance!
Hey, @Schlotzsky's , love the sandwiches! 😉👍 --QM
