Amongst the Twisty Roads
|
In my 10-12 year old days I had a TS-50 and CT70H. My best friend had a Z50 and we traded often...sometimes overnight. So I have some very fond memories of a '69-'70 Z50. First wheelie, Z50. First donut, Z50. First bike I ever beat in a race, Z50. The CT70 and Z50 were unstoppable and so were their riders. We would fill up our fuel tanks in the morning and ride all day on thousands of acres of woods, fire roads and powerline right of ways. If there is in fact a heaven, it will be traveled by small horizontal cylinder Hondas...no wings for me.
The Monkey 125 is based on the Grom 125, a bike that is loved by all that have ridden on one. I would love to have a Z125...er...Monkey 125 in my garage - but I will end up having the same circular conversation with myself as I did when the Grom hit the market; I'd love one...what am I gonna do with it and where can I ride it. This debate will go one...until...a friend has the same conversation with him/her self. Then it on!
