97mi Motorized Bicycle Ride to Manhattan (Motor Bike Part 3) - VLOG 

I started long bicycle rides a few years ago. Nothing like the freeedom of strapping a tent to my handlebars and thoughtfully packing essential gear to sustain me. At this point I carry enough tools to do 95% of possible repairs, cook almost all my own food and no longer require motels. Once in a while a paid site for a hot shower and to get stuff dried out. Going south from Upstate New York, the possible dispersed camping dwindles drastically after Pennsylvania if going down the coast. Much better if further inland! Seems like every square inch is accounted for in some places. When I do hopefully find a good spot, I am always respectful and leave no trace, always in near dark out by dawn. Sometimes I get somewhere and it just feels not quite right so I try again, somewhere else. The past couple of years I got good at doing these things in the winter and got better about diet. Its tempting to go straight for carbohydrates but I'm much more capable with extra meals and with extra protein and fats. Made my own pyramid tent from a large tarp and with bug netting for an alternate door and skirt. That thing is the best I can figure for all the possible weather and places. Pops up with a hiking pole, very lightweight. Could carry everything in a packpack if needed, baseweight 12 lbs, all seasons. Been messing with motorized bicycles and just rode an Avenger 85 up into the local moutains for a 40 mile ride with a camp. Fun time! Be fun to move on to the dual sport bikes but I also think bicycle is excellent for not needeing gas, insurance, having a low price for repair. Bicycle provides access to most places, 40-100 miles at a time. Stealth camping, using good principles allows someone like me who was born low income class, to see more of the world and grow as a person.

You are a trip man. I think I like the parts of the video where you focus on things like the train coupling and bridge views. Yeah, mechanical minded guys look at that stuff and just appreciate the history that has gone into making all this stuff work. Great video, Chris.

Genuinely enjoyed this series, it was enlightening seeing how much you can get up to in a day, meeting people and seeing sights. Thanks for this!

Cool video, longest run on a engine powered bike that I've viewed. Im a 2stroke rider and am considering building a 4stroke. Thanks for the video and stay safe brother!

Haha you're nuts! Maybe not as nuts as those dudes on the quads but nuts. Great video!

gotta make more motorized bike content. i’ve watched all 3 and they are sweet, you document it so well. definitely will be subscribing and watching more. keep up the good work

Man this was such a great video, this definitely gives me more confidence to finally buy myself a phatmoto and swap the motor with a 79cc predator engine. Add a front wheel electric hub and take a round trip of 800 miles to plano, texas. Ive done a round trip of 35 miles on my 2 stroke 66cc bike. Cant wait to go camping with my new hybrid build. Stay safe and keep doing what you love brother.

I bought a 2 stroke motor that was a pain in the ass and I could never get it started. I’m currently saving up for a 4 stroke motorized bike kit. The fact this can travel so long without any issues definitely convinced me it can be a form of reliable transportation.

Wild bro. The 12 oclock boys was a great part.

Unlike e-bikes, gasoline bicycle kit is 100% illegal to use in NYC you can't register it either, it's amazing you didn't get stopped riding one.

Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome

Just found this video, absolutely incredible to just go out and do this, awesome

Freaking sweet! What a fun series of videos!

That…was…awesome! Crazy seeing those 4 wheelers ripping down the street popping wheelies! Looks like you shot up 1&9 for a little bit, went over the Bayonne Bridge and GW. That takes some serious guts for anyone not familiar with the area. I’ve got friends up north that would ride down the side of a mountain but would definitely chicken out on a trip like that. Keep the videos coming!

That Shit was DOPE!!!! Thank you for sharing man👍🏻 looked like a hell of a lot of fun

hi from Mexico. A few questions; why did you decide to opt for a traditional gas powered engine? Was it for range? the fact you wouldn't have to charge it as with batteries? Or the low price of $200 for the kit? If it were battery powered you wouldn't have the issue of it being a "motorized vehicle" and having to hide it in certain places, as of course motorized vehicles aren't allowed on public transport etc. This was a great trip! It's something i'd also do! 😀 We make vids on a variety of topics

you did a real good video no one else does

Thanks 👍

Unbelievable! Love it love it love it. You always make me smile.

You live close to some really cool areas with great visuals, here in Yakima Valley Washington its pretty stale. Just lots of farm land, dirt, grass, the occasional trees, and a handful of hills. There's a lot of suburbs too but not many good paths to ride on. Anyways, the video was really good and is something I definitely need to try

Wow...obviously those quads are street-legal. cool.

Right 👍 on brother I just bought the same engine.. good to see it can handle long rides

Great video bro

I love your videos Chris.....you're the man. Crazy Manhattan though.

My hats off to you, what an adventure ✨️

You are The Man Chris! These Travellogs are the Best! How many people do you know in the City?

great video

excellant video .

Quite an adventure NNKH!

That had to be a hell of a day

Love it!!!

Awesome adventure 😎

loved this vid .thanks Chris....peace out

Uruguay here

Great content

Bro just casually pass by my favorite food spot in Trenton 😂😂😂 by west state street

That was pretty awesome. You need to tell us what seat is on there lol

Nice bro i like that. How did that clutch hold up after that journey. How many CC was that engine.

Your one cool dude!

Epic vlog

Italy here hahahaha 💙😄nice to meet you.

I.e--Looks like the sthus Arch tensioner is claimed to keep better alignment and prevent bracket from being pulled into spokes but unknown if really works and especially fits the Hardrock frame

Bro how much oil and gas do you mix. How long would it take to go from Boynton beach FL to lambertville NJ. And do I need to keep adding oil every stop I've never used a motorized bicycle plz tell me

Chris A question,is it heavy to pick up? Im definitely gonna build me one of those motor kits.You have to take it out again for another long journey 👍👌🤘🤙

I also have a Hardrock frame, thinking of getting 4 stroke kit for but no gumption/time for constant chain headaches. Please comment on how the stock tensioner has worked out for you long term and particularly if you have found any ready made better replacement. Can the stock tensioner be made safe and do you replace pulleys often? Many thanks, very inspirational videos

What should I do if my moterized bike chain keeps breaking or falling off and how tight should I have the chain

Nice adventure, ggz

lol crazy bro

You ever burn the clutch pads on these some people hate the chain drive

Crazy cool video 👍5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

How the hell can this have less than 200 "likes" ?!

Do you have to register the bike in nys or insure it

Are these street legal without a license?

@5:37 .... What was that yellow and white car for? What did it say on the side?

russia here

Hello bhai aap kahan se hai

What size is the bike?

I’m know nothing about 4 stroke engines but you might have install your rear sprocket on the wrong side. That maybe the reason why your chain is rubbing

Bhaiya please reply do

FYI: All those “mask on your face”, fools

1000 time batter than electric cycle 😢😢😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
