Yep, i admit to sometimes checking "Wander on a Honda" :D

Nice to see some more vids this year, and he is trying to gather cubs in the states for a possible holiday jaunt across the states with him.

I kinda feel he has helped drive up cub prices somewhat by making them trendy......... a Wave 110i is looking good over a 90 :D

But it opens the eyes to what you can do on a small bike and his logic is sound. Go through 3rd world countries, take a bike they use and know and can fix anywhere.

Then you start looking around for other nutters on smalls. Paris - Dakar Rally on a Vespa ! been watching Stella Alpina rally stuff, and Vespas and Cubs can do that to, the Postie Bike challenge down in Australia, the background of cubs and evoloutions being designed for third world duty.

Ed seems to be living the dream, fair play, carry on, i might get there one day :D

The good thing for us is that in establishing himself as an adventure motorcyclist he used a Honda 90, and that's created a huge interest in the bikes, which finds it's way here.

Really interesting clip to see, thanks for the link. I'm planning a run up to the Artic circle myself this winter, to see the northern lights, and its nice to see the kind of conditions I can expect to encounter. He seems like a chap who likes to travel and has found a way to do it on a budget. Hats off to him, I like his videos.

Ireland's own C90 adventurer Sean Dillon is also a good watch for inspiration. Check out his videos

This is my favourite Cub video of all time......
