Glad to be able to help you guys out and get you back on the road!

The enthusiasm Craig has for literally anything is amazing, everyone needs a Craig to their Sean. Love these videos.

Just wanted to let you guys know you all are the reason I got into riding! 25 years old with 2 kids and I have found the love of riding my new (to me) 1985 Honda Goldwing Aspencade. I loved your videos showing the old wings and I couldn’t be happier with my bike! Thank you all and God Bless you guys for what you do!

I bought a 1982 Honda FT500 new out of the crate in 1984. Drove it for 5 years when I was in college. Last 4 of S/N were 1770. It was a great little 1-thumper. Hardly any oomph, but great gas mileage. Loved that bike. It is immortalized on film parked outside a diner in an early scene of 'Point Break'. Only place I've seen it.

New challenge: fly a long distance away and have Sean and Craig each buy a bike, fix whatever needs to be fixed, and ride it home for as little money as possible. Choose the city at random, and don't start looking for a bike until you get there. Could be fun

The greatest Craig quote ever "I may not be a formula 1 mechanic but I can get you out of the woods" gotta love these guys!

I have a 1982 Honda GL500 Silverwing Interstate (with a complete spare set of plastics). I love showing it off to people (even tho it's currently down with a bad case of old) and pointing out how ahead of it's time it was. Epic bikes from the 80s.

The version of this Ascot 500 was just sold as a Honda FT 500 in the U.K. . It had a twin port 4 valve single OHC engine . I had a CB 250 RSA with a 250 version of the same engine ,it was more popular seller than the FT 500 as it handled & quick for 4 stroke 250 single at the time . The FT were regarded as a slug for a 500 cc reported to have issues & never sold well in the U.K. ,they usually ended up being bought used by riders on a budget looking for cheap utility hacks to spanner & get about on . I doubt If modern bikes will last as long as some of the old Honda models 👍

I love seeing the Ascot getting attention. My old man has his 1983 FT500 and I've ridden so many miles on it on the bike and in the saddle myself. I took my motorcycle license tests on that bike. Still runs to this day.

As a helix owner after many years of "real" motorcycles, I can tell you Craig was the most comfortable on this trip.
-
Being able to ride a new 40-year-old motorcycle is like a world of time tunnels. This is a dreamlike event, and I envy you. I think Honda engineers who have already retired from active duty are pleased.

Having been a teenager in the 80's i have a special place in my heart for that era. My first bike was a 78 Suzuki GS750E. I will always love the classic lines of a UJM.

Everyone THINKS this is how they want to come across a "vintage" bike... Glad you guys stick to details! Keep up the GREAT work, and GOD BLESS!

This was my first motorcycle! My uncle gifted me one he had in his garage as a gift for graduating from Coast Guard officer candidate school almost 20 years ago. Wish I had kept it, fueled a life long love of riding! I was missing a side panel I could not find at the time. Brings back memories of wrenching with my uncle who is no longer with us and we miss him, he sported a rad beard!

I love how fellow You Tuber's help each other out. It really is a bunch of communities of shared interests. Motorcycles and boats and mechanics are my thing. Favorite Bike channel right here, your guys bring great content. Thanks. I gladly give you my clicks. This was great to show what sitting can do. (Working on a 2006 outboard that sat right now. Can be frustrating as the stuff broke from sitting. My carb is shellac'd. At least your had no gas sitting)

Just got rear ended on my motorcycle yesterday Blessed to be alive and hop away with a broken ankle and road rash. Glad you guys are able to give me more motorcycle fix

I am way more excited about the Honda Helix than the Ascot. I wanted one of those SO BAD when I was like 16. My first bike (when I was 27, was a 1984 Honda Interceptor 500, but to this I would still love to have a Helix. Modern scooters just look like smaller versions of existing bikes, but the Helix looked like a futuristic transport. Nostalgia for the win.

God I love the 80's aesthetic. That bike is gorgeous. We all love flowing curves but sometimes geometric lines just hit the spot.

Nice 👍 video Sean and Craig. I'm a sucker for vintage anything. Back when I lived in California I bought my Honda from the dealership and would pick to ride in this shopping center parking lot and do doughnuts and figure 8s. In this shopping center there was a mechanic shop and this guy (can't remember his name) used to see me doing that and became friends. His dad owned the shop and he showed me a 1969 Honda. It looked neat but it was kind of different than today's bikes. The clutch wasn't on the handlebars and other different features. Not motorcycle related but 3 years ago I bought a vintage mountain bike frame because the color and style was the same as a mountain bike I used to have. The challenge was finding vintage parts or similar new parts. It's awesome that mountain bike looks so much like my old mountain bike.
