Me too. I bought it for 100 dollars after a summer of doing hay. and sold it for 100 bucks when I moved up to a 125. I've seen the money they draw on CL but I'd have to keep it just to bomb around on. Boy they sure were good times

I'd hurt myself on that.... look's like fun tho. I for some reason can not grow up and become a mature adult. I love going too fast and doing it in a wheelie is a HUGE plus

Memories! Honda shop was close to my house. CT70, ST90, XL70 were all starter bikes. I couldn't afford my first bike until I was 16. By then I was too big for those bikes. Ended up with a left over 74 XL175. Bought for the wonderful sale price of 699$ in 76. Yes, 700$ for a 175. I was one happy camper that summer!

I remember watching Roger Decoster, Bob "Hurricane" Hannah, Tony Distefano,Brad Lackey, Marty Smith, Danny "Magoo" Chandler, and more. Never cared much for Jeff Ward, Rick Johnson, and a couple others, and not sure why....just didn't.
I much more enjoyed the days of country courses such as Carlsbad and Unadilla. Stadium Supercross just isn't the same.

I have never been able to handle the sound of those stupid things, so I have steered clear. I threaten to blow a hole through the block of those running up & down the street! Can't stand them!

I can't stand them around home either, but on a track it's what you expect to hear, so it's not bothersome. And the smell of BelRay 2 stroke oil is addicting!

I always want to ride The Blackwater enduro when I was a kid. I use to read my Dirt rider mag's til the print was unreadable. Broome Tioga was about 45 minutes from my house growing up. It's funny how much has changed I NEVER would of thought that a four stroke could run with a two stroke let alone dominate the sport
