- REDEMPTION! We ride our junkyard motorcycles over 100 miles to go get ice cream! This is a follow up to our last video where we bought these bikes and had them running in 48 hours! In that video we only made it 40 miles but now we are doing some work to the bikes to make them go the distance.
Watch the 48 hour revive and ride video if you haven't seen it already:

So what should we do with these bikes next? We definitely have an idea but want to hear yours!
Restore them cosmetically on a budget, and see who can sell the bike with the most profit.
@kristiansandsmark2048 Although that idea could work on another set of bikes, it sort of goes against what these bikes are all about. We're in it for the fun and not making money on them.
A beardy adventure? 🤔
Take them on a motorcycle camping trip.
@@raymondsmith6504 😎🤘
Cheap bike makeovers are my favourite content.
Great projects - Great trip .
🤘🤘 glad you enjoyed!
Can’t overstate the fun the can be had on “ordinary” road bikes on decent roads 👍🇬🇧
100%
@@BrickHouseBuilds 🤙
What make that so much fun is you have to rev and shift and you can wind out the gears without getting arrested. Those bikes deserve a really cool makeover.They did your proud.
So much fun! We got up to like 65mph lol
They do deserve a make over. Not factory restoration. I was worried about you welding an old ally casting, especially when you have a spares bike, and disappointed you didn't grease the head bearings. Really, doing proper repairs just makes sense. You'll enjoy the bikes so much more. I'm sure Seth didn't really appreciate continually topping up his oill because his bike was leaking so much. Not changing gaskets is a false economy. Still, it could encourage him to get a real old triumph.
Agreed do them justice
@leon0 In every single other video we focus on proper repairs, maintenance, and looks. These projects are not about that right now as the mission was making them run from a junkyard. We couldn't have known about the oil consumption when we got them but that has stopped. We didn't grease the bearings because of what was said in the video. This video departs from the normal content that you can see on this channel where projects take months/years and people get upset they have to wait for updates on them.
@@BrickHouseBuilds I think the best part was you did just enough to get ice cream and back. But they are running and it would be cool to give them a new life without going crazy. It would be a good example of how to take a rough bike and make it decent, not perfect. Just a thought.
from a distance..squinting, i would say these road warriors look pretty decent..bikes too..seriously tho..good fun had by all..especially the viewers..
Thank you for not putting generic music overtop the riding! It's more enjoyable this way in my opinion
I finally have my riding audio figured out so I can leave it as is
You all are living the dream
Great Video I think the bikes deserve a little resto
Glad you enjoyed. A resto won't make it more fun. The fun is it being cheap and having no fear of damage, scratches, etc.
That CB360 sounds strong! Can’t believe it ended up at the scrappers.
It runs so good. It had a broken camshaft when I got it so maybe that's why
Love to see the old Honda’s chugging along!!
I have an 86 Nighthawk so it warms my heart!
I have an ;83 650 nighthawk I saved from being scrapped.
That was awesome! Thanks for carrying us along 😂 Enjoyed the video B.J. and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Glad you enjoyed! It was fun
I drove about the same distance today, Props to you guys for riding that far on bikes...older ones at that
🤘🤘
Honda engineering. The greatest motorcycle brand, ever!
🤘🤘
Quite the campaign!! You guys did a great job on your bikes and you sure had some beautiful country to roll through! Epic effort!
🙏🙏
Great ride out guys,the scenic route is the way to go
Definitely wasn't mad about it!
Remember, safety second!
Another fine video 😂
Redemption has been achieved IMO 😁
I think you both love your junkyard bikes - just a little bit.
Looking forward to seeing their next adventure.
Great redemption. I’ll have to go up 79 from Louisiana to Hannibal again & back. It just sucks there’s that hour of farmland in between.
No ice cream?!? The whole set up was a sham. The amazing relief on a hot day that only an ice cream or shower beer can provide, and it wasn’t available. I think I would have stopped at Culver’s and topped the pastries off with a fudge Sunday.
Cheers dude!! Well done. You deserved the scones.
Dude Culver's was across the street but we had already committed to this place! The AC wasn't on so we didn't even get to cool off lol
Shocking. You are normally so detailed, thorough, meticulous, precise and then this happened. Well done! I was thinking bring a tow rope. At a minimum split the cases to see what we see. Finally, ask Honda for some compensation for the great documentary. Honda testimonials.
It's a lot of fun to just make it run and not sweat the details every once and a while 🤘
Super cool ride!
Glad you enjoyed!
There’s another place about a mile up broadway that has really good ice cream. Deters frozen custard. 3024 Broadway.
that fuek tank adjustment seemed very Vice Grip Garage, Derek would be proud of you
🤘🤘
Here in Australia, in October we have a charity ride called the scrap heap adventure ride. It raises money for Down’s syndrome children. The bike can’t cost more than $1000. The scrappier the better. I found a cheap gs500 and my mate a Honda ct185. Looking forward to it.
That sounds like a great time!
Very cool I really enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed 🤘
That was an awesome video BJ!!!! That quick scare when you hit the dirt road man I thought the worse !!! But you calmly kept narrating.
Little stepping out moment for sure lol
What a fun video to watch guys. A new motorcycle type has been created: The "Ice-cream-racer" !!
Umm that may catch on!
In the first episode I was sure you pulled the short end of the stick between the two of you, but boy was I wrong hahaha
Hahaha the verdict is still out but for now this 360 just wants to go!
Your 360 sounds like my offroad bike❤
It sounds crisp for sure!
those old hondas are a blast to ride, the 360 was the first bike I did 100 mph on
So much fun!
Really great stuff - custom !
👌 custom 😉
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
I really enjoyed this video, thanks to you both. Laughed when you found out there was no ice cream. That's exactly the kind of mistakes of make. But please, a little more mechanical sympathy with these old girls. Fork seals, grease all the chassis bearings, fix the oil leaks. Proper regulator rectifiers for reliable charging. By all means keep the patina but make them work properly. Then go on a camping trip, carrying tent, cooker and bedding. That would be a hoot. And a memory for you both for life.
Glad you enjoyed. I'm assuming this is the first of my videos you have seen which is great. The mission here wasn't perfection like everything else we work on. Definitely check out the backlog of over 350 videos where I go to max effort to do everything perfect.
Anytime the phrase “we are trying to avoid law enforcement “ is involved, a good story is happening
100% 😎
That thing has a 6 speed gear box? Sweet!
Indeed! The 360s were pretty cool
Yeah, there were round rubber bushings on the frame pins to hold the tank steady.
Right, which I didn't have
Have made several of those from old hockey pucks :) …… cheers from Vancouver Island BC 🇨🇦
@@maltejuergensen2118I was at the dollar store last night and saw a bunch of hockey pucks, my first thought was look at all those bushings 😅
I grew up in Quincy and I was actually there that week visiting family in town and at Mark Twain lake. I really wish I would have run into you two... that would have been awesome.
We weren't there long and couldn't really give an eta on when to arrive. It would have been cool to make a thing out of it
@@BrickHouseBuilds yeah man all good.
very nice!
🤘🤘
Up with this sort of thing! ;-)
Hah, they dont do icecream! That is just perfect.
Total dingus move by me lol
😅😂
Everyone needs a BFH!!
🤣🤣🤘
Commonly a d washer is used in gap on top triple clamp. I scored a new top clamp from common motor. Much stronger than original and better metallurgy.
Cool channel. I have learned s lot.
Thanks
Not really on the 350s and 60s. The larger bikes definitely had them
Just want to say I love tge quality of your back roads over there...ours are, in general, atrocious!! In fact, a lot of our highways are not as good as those roads you were travelling. Guess it comes from having the same land mass size, and about 7% of the population lol
Luckily many of these roads have been redone within the last 10 years. Many can get rough but we fortunately do have many that are well maintained. To me, Kentucky has some of the best as far as quality
Heck yeah!
🤘🤘
Except for at the end with your buddy tired lol 😅
The content is so much better when you add some adventure. Now do a grand on them after a wee makeover.
We love this stuff so definitely much more to come
Really good work guys. And fun to watch. I just got a 74 cb360 that doesnt run currently. I have no idea what im doing, but hopefully I can figure it out. Would love to have 1/8 of yalls skills someday
Glad you enjoyed!
All that and no ice cream? Dangit! I knew a guy who rode his CB350 around the perimeter of Texas, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody (or do it on mine)!
Well we got ice cream the first ride but didn't make it 100 miles. Now we did the distance but no ice cream! 😅
I love your videos and I think you guys are pretty freaking cool, but, with all of your crafting skills, your best solution was an innertube for a rubber bushing for the gas tank? Lol! I am glad it failed though, and the chunk of wood was a way more better solution, lol! But you know, you gotta try stuff, because that's how we learn if it is going to work, or if it is just going to give us fodder for great video content. Love what you do and I have already learned a lot in just the few vids that I have watched. Keep it up and thanks for your hard work!
Did you see the 48 hour challenge video where we got these bikes?
加油!!
🤘
Entertaining.
Randakk
🙏🙏
Restore them to a safe, reliable standard and then repaint the frame, redo the rims etc.
They deserve some TLC :)
We just think they are more fun as beaters lol
Triple clamp uppers should have a couple of washers in them with the edge take off with bench grinder. Otherwise they break😢.
The 350s and 60s never had them. Post 72 cb750s did among others
I never do stuff like modifying my gas tank at home, that's what the field behind my house is for.
I think the internet needs more "rat bike" sketchy restorations. They all don't have to be shiny perfect custom show bikes. The entertainment value is a lot better. I recently picked up a 75 KZ 400 that is in rough condition. I think i might get it running and leave it crusty.
Hell yeah it does! Small budget, high fun!
This was really really weird for me to watch. I’m so used to you doing some really clean finished bikes,
Then you throw this curve ball at me 😂 But I get it, you do it because you can. Craaaaaaptacular 😂😂😂 CU in the next one BJ 😊👋🏻
It's weird for me too! This is a good exercise in just "getting it done" and not making it perfect
…I like your old rusty Hondas🙌🏼 …nice welding job by the way👍🏼 …what is with the metal flakes in the oil…? …are they still there?
I really hope you will give these bike a bit more love step by step…and some more road-trips…I like to watch that🙌🏼🏍️💨
Thank ya! We haven't drained the oil since this trip so no telling if there are more flakes or not
Hahahaha they don’t do ice cream 😂😂😂 brilliant you two are like the flinstones on these bikes lol, all in all the bikes done well no really major issues got you both there and back what more can you ask and you didn’t get a ticket, result great video guys take care to you both and all the best 😂👍👌🏍️🏍️❤️🔧🔧🔧
The only issues we keep having are the new parts! Last time it was the petcock and this time the batteries. Crazy
@@BrickHouseBuilds yeah that's bonkers lol
Молодцы
It’s a Honda it’s fine
Can't kill em'
How about 500 miles to overnight camping after reworking the bikes a bit. The blue bike sounds great at speed. Just subscribed…
That's an idea!
Getting a cheapo master cyl from someplace like AliExpress or Temu and getting the disc to work would have been a great "How to get cheap junk to work" episode.
40:38 my playback paused to flip to a HD CVO Pan America commercial showing a guy doing the exact same thing. lol
Lol nice!
Cool little series! Almost makes me nostalgic for my CB175... almost.... Was worried Seth was going to end up with a slick rear wheel with all the oil, glad ya'll made the whole trip!
It was definitely trying to push it's oil out lol
Lets do a great crap heap build. A bunch of us build a bike for like 1500 then do a drag race ,a road race then a road trip. See what happens dude. Me and the boys are in. get ahold of us Geist Wulf Cycles
That sounds pretty epic!
I hate going across that river....
The frame came with rubber bungs at the front of the tank
Right, which I didn't have so I made something similar
Apart from the initial tank mods 🙄& not 🤬greasing the head bearings. For some reason this annoyed the p155 out of me. I really enjoyed this project. I grew up fixing/learning on really bad free or cheap mopeds & small bikes. BUT I always cleaned them as it was easier to spot leaks, work on & pride. I fixed them up as best I could with whatever stuff I had available (again usually given to me). The point being they still looked bad but worked (mostly). May I suggest (part 3) going through both bikes properly (spend a few bucks) get them reliable, clean but NOT restored. Then a big trip to a classic resto show to upset the matching numbers guys. Also I found the biggest failing was usually electrical (or carbs) so why not make a new loom ? I'd watch that 😎BTW after years of big fast bikes & cars I now drive 1999 diesel car & ride old VFR's. Plus fix up (not restore) 70/80's small bikes for fun. Circle of life brah. Well done guys.
They just needed to last 200 miles hence the decisions that were made
What brand tank bag ? Looks like a good fit. I need one for my CB 360
I believe it's a rapid transit but can't be certain. I know it's more than a few years old
Thanks for this one. BUT ~ I don't know there guys.... Not sure about the "NO ICE CREAM" part. ~ya know. No shame no blame B.J.~. Seems like you need another video with these bikes. Sure, I could see that. Maybe a power wash, something for the seat comfort, tighten up the bolts, secure the battery, continue the tune up. And then. Go get some ice cream. Doesn't need to be so far. ~ another video of another ride in the sunshine or maybe an evening ride with the girlfriends ~on their own bikes of course. But ya gotta get some ICE CREAM. 〰✨🙏🍦✨〰
1960s British bikes lost less oil than Seth's bike.🤣🤣 It was always a joke in the UK that if there were no oil drips under the bike then it was out of oil.
I think Seth's bike rivals the Exxon Valdes
Make a Chopper out of one and a Bobber out of the other.
That would be fun
Say a quick thank you to Soichiro...
He made a great product 👏
Don't see smoke out off the red bike
Check the first video out. Lots of smoke

Do you mind me asking why you would swap out a disk brake for a drum brake? I was under the impression that disk is better. I know you originally wanted a drum for the simplicity during the 48 hour challenge but now that you are past that, why switch?
P.S. The "jig" you made for fixing the triple was genius.
It's still just for simplicity and cost. I had the parts to make it work rather than buying rebuild kits, used master cylinder, used caliper, and new lines.
@@BrickHouseBuilds Thank you for getting back to me. I loved these two videos. New Sub here.
Haha glad to see these delightful disasters hitting the road again!
I love that name!
My butt still hasn't recovered from this...
There's still time to delete this comment 🤣
It's jank Bj but also art.. janky art, arty jank... jankart.. lol #nodsforchops
Ok B.J., which one of you is "Captain America and which one of you is Billy?
Based on my favorite bike I'm Billy as I like his bike better lol
Fix the issues again, do a motorcycle camping trip
🤘🤘 that would be a great time
Where you said that you will never know what that said. I bet it said, Don't clean with a wire brush."
It was already faded but the soft nylon and solvent still took it off
Work on the bikes some more & ride them to get icecream somewhere closer. No solution to a sore butt other than dont let anybody kick you in the butt! Lol!❤
Well we were able to ice cream last time but didn't make the distance! Can't get it all together lol
@@BrickHouseBuilds Gotcha! Change it up to a shake! But.....I would definitely fix that oil leak! No more marking your territory! Lol!
Instead of wasting those rubber tubes & a good piece of wood you should have used a big mac burger , they last for twenty years !
🤣🤣🤣
That oil filter situation was the worst I've ever seen!
It was so bad! I legit thought there was a machined lip surface but it was just compacted junk!
Why do people use soapy water on tyre walls to mount them on rims? Because it is a lubricant. Why do you apply oil when drilling through steel? Because it is a lubricant. I think you already know where I'm going so I won't state the obvious.
I don't know. You must state it
@@BrickHouseBuilds Next time if you insist on trying to drill through rubber use a lubricant to prevent snatching.
"Comedy"
Don't think it's burning oil as much as leaking
You should watch the first video to see how bad it was
I would have probably used a super heated screw driver to make a hole in that folded up rubber inner tube. 🤔
Also, there's something about that bike you're working on. I kinda dig it.
I thought about that
Uneasy Riders 😂
🤣🤣
You boys been feeling the pinch in the used motorcycle market? I’ve spoken with so many people who’ve had bikes for sale for 5, 6, 7 months with no action at all.
I've never had good luck selling anything but I have had a Burgman for sale for 6 months with endless time wasters. Literally thinking about doing a Whistlin Diesel style video with it at this point
@@BrickHouseBuilds I sold a Grom recently with 42 different time wasters messaging me. Thats right, forty two!
I’ve had a Ducati scrambler for sale for a year. My buddies VFR took 9 months to sell and I’ve seen the same bikes on Craigslist for 7 months now just sitting.
I don’t know what’s going on but it sure seems like motorcycling as a hobby is drying up.
All of that and no ice cream? Dang! I know a guy who toured the perimeter of Texas on a 71 CB350....but I wouldn't wish that on anybody!
if they really sit unsold for that long, it's because your price is too high. I've never in my life seen as many motorcycles on the road as i have this year, motorcycling is not dying whatsoever
@@bren42069 would you sell a Ducati scrambler for $3,000? What about a Honda grom for $1500?
Typical old Honda's, they look like homely bums and have glitter where it shouldn't be. But they continue to operate without giving up. At least they didn't sound like a bag of hammers in the process. :)
Hahaha can't killem'
If ys run suzuki wouldnt hsve this problem
False
Any plans to enter these rough diamonds into a bike show?
Hmmm, haven't thought about that but could be a fun idea!
The bikers from hell 😂❤
🤣
B.J. please stick to your custom builds. There is way too many ( can we make it run and drive videos already).
These are fun though and don't take 3 years to do. Viewers get upset that work takes time and often complain to me.
This is not to say that my custom builds are stopping. I have multiple going right now and I'm just changing the video format which you will see
FAIL!!!! NO ICE CREAM!!!
I know!! 😅
@BrickHouseBuilds "JD" , i seen you Fabricate pans under the seat on a couple of builds for electronics.... you don't ever get to where any water comes off tank or blow up from the road to get in the pan?? and if so i see you have 1/2" to 2" Lip on the pan..... and no way to drain..... just curious how that works........ Take Care and God Bless........ Love the Honda 750four.... that was the bike a friend "Buster Crab" had in south Louisiana..... He could out run any one but the new Kawaski 900 triple two strokes.
Looks like some of my "quality" work Mr BHB, Did i see a Triumph triple near the parts washer?
🤘 gets the job done though!
