She has bigger balls than I do. And they are brass, for sure.

Surprising choice of bike.

The bike is the same age as her.
Her next trip is 'around the whole world'

^^^ Agree.
I stopped the video when it showed the work sheet for the bike and it says 4 something in German. I think it means 4 cycle. (But it's also a 4 cylinder.) It's a 1987

27000 miles of that flatulent exhaust is going to get old pretty quick, but certainly better power than that "Honda 90" she last rode. That poor thing got slogged, and it reinforced some very poor riding techniques from her, despite all those disperate discipline classes she took in season 4.
Hopefully not showing the reward pizza after that trek is not a foreshadowing of things to come. |

That's quite the house/shop that Moritz has there.
I hope she likes and has good luck with the bike. Not sure if I would go that route for the miles and places she is headed.

Moritz built a good platform. Keeping the electrics and other systems dead simple will be key to success. Digging those foot pegs.

She's spent a month driving back and forth from Holland to Frankfort getting the bike sorted out. She could have walked into her local Honda Shop and rode out with a new bike to fit her needs on one day.
I'm not a fan of a restored bike....I see troubles. I hope I'm wrong.

I would expect carb issues more than anything. Her injected bikes were pretty reliable. They dont seem to care if you lay them on their side .

And...if I understood it right, there is no gas gauge on it.
She needs one where she goes...I think.

Episode 6 posted today. She's pumping them out faster now, and making good headway with the new bike.
