Today, Adrian and I are
Today, Adrian and I are starting out on a ~2000-mile road trip on our Honda Super Cubs! We are headed up to Arkansas to meet with Neil, then continuing north to Missouri. Skip to the end of this description for clickable time indexes.

Neil decided that he was going to ride up to Missouri to watch the World of Outlaw dirt track races, and he asked Adrian and me if we were up for a road trip. Well, of course! So, we loaded up the Super Cubs for a week-long trip and headed north.
We originally planned to ride about halfway up to our meeting point in central Arkansas, but then we decided to crush the miles and get the hard part behind us. So, we ended up riding about 14 hours and 600 miles today to reach Plainview, Arkansas. Neil already had a campsite waiting for us, and we finally arrived around 12:15AM at Nimrod Dam in Plainview. We sat around for a couple of hours chatting and catching up, then headed off to sleep for a few hours.
The bikes and all of our gear fared well today, and we didn't have any failures of any kind to report. The little Super Cubs managed to eke out a very respectable 55-60 MPH average speed while maintaining nearly 100 MPG in the process. My Cub seemed to run about 10% more efficient than Adrian's, but his motor is still new and might need more time to loosen up. We both saw our fuel economy dip below 100 MPG for a couple of tanks when we were pushing full-throttle against headwinds and hills... 94-98 MPG was about the worst that we observed.
Time indexes:
0:00 Heading out from Katy, description of our very loose trip plans
2:10 Topping off Adrian's tank with a whopping $0.70 of fuel! 🤣
7:35 Our new Fieldsheer Moto Morph mesh jackets seem to flow enough air
8:45 Answering viewer emails regarding rough shifting on the Cub
11:50 Our first fuel stop of the day at Buc-ee's in Madisonville, TX
14:10 Continuing the trip on TX-21 and other back highways (GoPro GPS is stuck)
16:15 The highway is turning into country road and gravel... uh-oh 😮
18:02 Garmin's Adventurous Routing is taking us down a dirt road again
23:13 Finally reaching pavement again, now Adrian needs a chiropractor 🤣
26:17 Fuel report after our 3rd fill-up... we finally dropped below 100 MPG!
28:20 Adrian ran out of fuel, refilling on the side of the highway
31:45 Stopping for fuel again (4th stop for me), Adrian was only short by about 10 miles
32:28 Slipstreaming on the C125... 15T front sprocket for the WIN!
35:58 Adrian's first oil change (600 miles) is complete, back on the road to ride in the dark
37:25 Headlight discussion and opinions, adding the driving lights to my Cub drastically helped visibility
38:36 Smooth shifting the Cub discussion... slowly releasing the shift lever is the trick!
40:04 Resuming from Nimrod Lake the following morning... 12:15AM arrival and ~5 hours of sleep
