The Roadtrip.

Turn on subtitles/CC's if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video. I was about to leave on a roadtrip from Minnesota to New York when I was offered an old, non-running, Honda motorcycle for free (thanks Mike), it being located on a slight detour in Iowa. With that, I neglected any preliminary maintenance on my 1973 Mercury Wagon to instead hastily weld a motorcycle carrier on it to pick up my free 1973 Honda XL250 and proceed to embark on a ~3000 mile round trip to the east coast and back.
