Rode this beast to work today

1970 CT70HK0 4 speed manual. 888 miles. So much fun.

 

Upside down fork? Check.
Ape Hangers. Check.
Refugee from That 70's Show. Maybe.
Pretty cool.

 

how far ?

 

Bent knees, hard to get down over the tank for those tight curves, LOL... but then again, it's a "Trail" bike. Kool. I'd upgrade to a Honda S90.

 

It's not far, a few miles. But I have spent all day on it before on a ride called Tiddler Tour. Rode through Seattle, took a ferry to ride around Vashon Island and back. That's a long day on a CT70. Full speed tuck on Hwy 99, it's geared to do about 45.

 

Will a CL90 do?

 

These are my vintage Hondas:

 

Very nice, guys!!

 

This was today's choice for a ride to work. 1963 CA95 Benly 150

 

The blue one totally looks like my first bike. CL360?
But in much better condition. And mine had a weird angle pullback handlebar on it.
The grips were almost parallel to the line of travel.

 

Where I live you can get one like this brand new, Chinese manufactured but with rather good quality for less then 2k USD.

 

Nice! My brother had a red one, and my friend had a gold one. There were a couple of summers where we did nothing but ride those bikes. We bent the frame on the red one doing wheelies. We had a blast! That was 50 years ago now.
