guzziart:
Great story!

The original Trails are going for almost as much money as the new re-pops.  And the new ones are nice..FI, abs, electric start,
etc.  One of my riding pals has a new one...CT125.  We loaded his new CT125 and my ct70 into his truck to use at Barber Vintage Festival last October.  We both had a lot of fun riding around Barber and to & from hotel on our respective bikes.  The auto clutch feature really makes these bikes great for noodling around swap meets.

SIR REAL ED:


Great video.  I assumed that Herb was related to the off road racer Billy Uhl, and sure enough, Billy is in one of the photos shown in the video.

Anyone who liked that video will love the DVD "the John Penton Story."

What a different country the US used to be.

Listening to the old timers as a child, I often wished I had been born decades earlier.

I’ve had mine for 52 years

Learned the basics on a first year (64) Trail 90. Also the first bike I went down on at 10 years old farmyard racing my cousin who owned the bike. Learned not to use the front brake while turning on gravel. Not hurt, I mean I was 10 so very crash worthy at that age. About 10 years ago my late cousin's wife gave me the bike but 64 was quite a bit different than 65 on and some parts are very hard to find so I did not attempt to restore it at all. Ended up donating it at a fund raising auction hoping someone more talented and patient than me could do something with it.
