Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival - Bought 9 bikes! Will they Run? + Camp Life

That dude helped lift the second bike into your pickup. A True Biker.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and it's a perfect example of how bikers interact, they're all willing to lend a hand or offer up advice to help eachother out.

I bought a moped when I was a 14 year old teenager, 25 dollars, from a friend of mine. It looked new, but no one was trying to get it running because the instructions were in Korean, and all the bolts were metric. This was 1978. I had to figure it out and fix it. Basically replaced plug, changed out sparkplug wire, cleaned up the fuel line. It was fun, had a 2 cycle engine. I drove it all over the place, would show up at family houses and they were surprised to see me riding a moped. They all gave me the "how dangerous a motor bike is" speech, my mother especially, thinking it was like a normal motorcycle, but it only did like 30-35 mph downhill. I would have kept it, but the guy who sold it to me wanted to buy it back since I got it running better. I charged him $35. Well, he pulled a fast one on me, he sold right off to another dude for double what I sold it for. I didn't care, got my money back. Coolest thing about it, the spark plug, wire, and entire expenditdure for gas was under 8 bucks total. Plugs were about a dollar back then, the plug wire was about 2 bucks, 2 cycle oil was about 2 bucks. Gas was 79 cents a gallon. it held a gallon. IT got close to 120 mpg, since it was pedal assist. I replaced some bolts because dude was using vice grips instead of getting some metrics to fit the bolts correctly. I couldn't tell you the brand name on the moped, it was pretty obscure. Like something you would buy in FingerHut catalog or Montgomery Wards way back then. I really want a Vespa. Would be very economical to have it now. Good Luck with all the bikes!

Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite motorcycle channels!! Thank You!!

Ya'll got a good deal of stuff hope to see you building lots out of it. God Bless

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the new bikes!

I'd love to attend one year. Got the bike bug at 13 years old, been through dozens of bikes, mostly barn and pasture finds, rescues, but I have purchased three brand new bikes in my time

awesome video, glad you can make it. we actually camped across from you guys. we’re the campsite with the white tacoma and the blue tundra

Thank you for sharing! Some great prices there and enjoyed watching.

Really enjoyed and had fun watching, God Bless and I subscribed! 😎

Sure would have been nice to see the prices posted on those bikes you videoed, thanks for taking me along!

Great fun and adventures

In 1979 while on sales call for auto test equipment, I spotted an identical green Honda Express in a box at a auto repair shop. The forks were bent as was the frame tube. It had been backed over while parked at curb. I bought it for $35, straightened the forks on a press and notched the frame, rewelded and straightened it. My wife rode it 10K over the years.

Love the MCs

Im enjoying the longer weekend adventures videos. Keep up the great work. The race bike is so awesome. It would be cool to set up next to the street bike at your show. to see the differences

like your video my wife and i were there too had a blast our first time we saw ourselves in video when you were watching the bikes in the black dome we were by the yellow flag i have white beard and she has a burnt orange shirt . next year we will have to say hi

It’s a Peugeot “poo-joe”. There isn’t a R in the name. That company makes cars in Europe. Looks like y’all had a great time there. Keep up the great work!!!!!
