My first ride was a Honda Mini Trail 70. Had a blast as kid on that. First real bike was Triumph 500 Trophy Twin win I was 16. But my first real motorcycle was 59 sporster, fully chopped, hartail. First time I drove into the kitchen (open headers) my new wife decided it was time for it to go. So for the next 26 years I looked and dreamed. Finally, bought a 2000 Roadking Classic and not giving this one up. And the new wife (same one) loves to ride as well. Took a long time, but finally back!

Congrats on jumping back in - I started on a Yamaha Trail 80 and rode the crap out of that poor thing. I got back in 2 yrs ago - my Road King is pushing 18000mi and its a blast

Welcome to the Board. This is uncanny but earlier tonight my little one and I were in an antique shop in Grand Rivers, KY and in the window the shop owner had displayed a gold Honda 70 gooseneck and a maroon colored Triumph Trophy - both in near mint condition with "not for sale" signs.

There is a restaurant in Grand Rivers called Patti's 1880s that is a great destination. Get the 2" porkchop.

Enjoy your time here.

As I headed out for yet another chilly ride in the valley today I wondered why I enjoy riding in this weather and it dawns on me that it's the memory of that first ride...that honda mini trail 70 I got for xmas oh so many years ago

Hey 2k, welcome to the forum and welcome back to the sport. Your story echos many of those told here. Had a bike, had kids so had to get rid of bike... fast forward 20 something years and get a bike. The fact that your "new wife" enjoys the sport makes it even better.

We are glad you are here. Post often and enjoy that new ride!

Welcome to the ?prty:
Honda mini trails were the apple of my eye when I was a little tike. I never had one but many of my buddies did and I always thought it would be great to have one. My buddy and neighbor across the street from me scored 2 of them 2 years ago from a guy from a nearby town that were in absolute mint condition. He has them in his shop sitting around for conversation pieces. A couple of years ago I bought a Honda Trail 90 that had less than 100 miles on it tu use as a paddock bike at the car races I was running then (we had one of those in the family when I was young). I put some miles on it and then sold it. I wonder how many of us on this forum used to lay in bed and think about or dream about those little Hondas when we were in our youth. I know I sure did when I was young.
