    I still have the 1971 CT70 my dad bought me as my first bike. I will never forget doing my first oil change on it at 9 thinking I was some genius and the many burns I attained by the exhaust. I need to go over and refresh it like it deserves after my many years of mud bogging and ratting the thing out. Not to mention it still starts on the first kick.

    The Trail 70 was the first two-wheeler I rode with a clutch. The late 60's and early 70's was an awesome time to grow up. Everyone in the neighborhood had mini-bikes.

    This is cool, big fun. And same here for me, a 50cc Honda Dax was my first motorcycle in '75 when I was an American teen in Frankfurt, West Germany. And local laws were a bit relaxed for us 'military dependents' as I recall that we could ride a 50cc motorcycle at the age of 15 and then something more powerful at age 17--so I had the Honda for the street and the woods and then an italian-made Harley 175 once I turned 17. And my favorite trip on the Honda was an August '75 ride from Frankfurt to Darmstadt and back with a friend who had a 50cc Yamaha. And we took turns at the front to give those little engines a break.

    My dad bought one of these and the Honda 50 model back in the 70's, we mostly ran the 50, the 70 was a torque monster. I was going up a big hill on the 50 and guy on a big bike said you will never make it up there I told him you just watch, I did make it up there. I love these bikes.

    First, your daughter is just TOO CUTE! Great job on the rebuild. Kinda concerned about baking off parts in your home oven tho. Wish I could find a workable CT bike around me. They're either rusted beyond belief or people have restored them and want thousands.
