Like most people who saw “Dumb and Dumber” when they were kids, Zach Courts and Ari Henning have re-watched it countless times and can rattle off quotes and whole scenes of dialogue.
Unlike most people, these grown men and professional motorheads now have a YouTube channel and a budget for a long-in-the-works “Dumb and Dumber” dream: to build a replica of Lloyd and Harry’s mini-bike from the film and actually ride it from the plains of Nebraska to a little place called … well, you know.
The result is “The Dumb and Dumber Mini Bike Road Trip,” a 30-minute episode of Courts and Henning’s “Common Tread XP” series on Revzilla’s YouTube channel. It comically chronicles the pair’s cold and clunky journey to Aspen in April 2021.

I always wondered if such a trip was even possible (or legal) on such a sweet hog, but I don’t have to wonder anymore, because Ari Henning and Zack Courts have recreated it:
Dumb and Dumber - and yes, one of them wound up with wet pants.

Common Tread custom built a mini bike just like the one Jim Carrey s Lloyd Christmas and Jeff Daniels Harry Dunne used in the hit 1994 movie. Then they drove it 400 miles across the Nebraska plains and over the Rocky Mountains, a trip that took three days and required numerous roadside repairs.
You can watch a half-hour documentary of their journey below, and read Courts behind the scenes account of their adventure on RevZilla.com.
