The sturdy little motorcycles are the most popular ever built...in the entire world. In June of 2015 they will take restored Honda Passports across the United States, and hopefully Miles will be with him to film the entire journey -- that’s if he acquires a Passport of his own. They’ll ride from Pacific Grove to Los Angeles, then, for the next three weeks or so they will ride the Honda Cub across the United States, documenting the journey as they go. They’ll travel to the town of Lubec, Maine, the farthest eastern longitude of the United States, where they’ll dip the tires of the Honda Cubs into Good Old Days Booth #79A the Atlantic Ocean... and then ride back to their home town.
