We had a few good weather days last week and I got my first ride(s) of the year!

On Wednesday night the temps were in the middle 60's and I rode out to a dinner with a group of motorcycle friends.

On Friday morning I put fuel in the Honda MiniTrail that I have owned for more than 20 years and I never started or have ridden.  When I worked at Cardinal Engineering I had 3 file cabinets in my office, and this bike was displayed on top of the cabinets......it was my office "art".  It is going up for sale on "Bring a Trailer" and I figured it was important for bidders to know it runs!  They are only 1.8HP - so hauling my heavy butt up the hill required a downshift to 2nd gear!  It is the first year of the MiniTrail (1968) - so there are no lights, a short muffler, white grips and white plastic levers, and an ON/OFF switch instead of a key.

Well......I am hoping to get a lot of money for it.  There are some crazy people out there, and right now the little MiniTrail bikes seem to be in high demand.

Well Dave , I'm glad your selling it !   Lips Sealed

It would be embarrassing if somebody got a picture of both of us on that little seat !!  Embarrassed

I hope the bidding get up enough you can get the long seat model . ..........................

Marcia and I took the DR. out for a 10 mile ride Saturday and it was really tight.
I don't think we'll be taking it next time.   Smiley

Huh

Good point JOG

We need back roads to make a small bike adventure for sure .   I know this whole thing is a joke , but it sure would be fun !  Smiley

Some public roads with camping on the road side would be nice as long as town wasn't too far off.
