    My dad was anti motorcycle when I was a tyke. "Nothing but a damn deathtrap" One day when I was nine or ten he comes home with a Trail 70 in the truck, to store for a buddy. Since its there he takes it for a putt around the back yard. Couple weeks later he brings home a Cl 360 Scrambler and is riding that around town. Next spring he gets a 550 which he ends up trading for a full dressed Goldwing. The Ct 70 ended up being mine. That one little 70 was responsible for turning one man from a motorcycle hater to a road dawg and launched one little kid towards a lifetime obsession with bikes. All hail the Trail 70.

    My family's first was a Yamaha Dualsport 125cc in 1980... Funny Mom wanted it. Dad hated bikes. Dad rode the bike the most. He tore it up like he did any vehicle doing normal riding... I fixed it up after it sat for 10 years in 1993. Got it running for 2 years. But it just didn't want to be reliable after sitting so long. I've bought other bikes since then... Big bikes and small bikes. I just get more enjoyment from the smaller bikes though.

    100% right. Folks of our generation (I was born in 1971), couldn't wait to come home from school, change into old clothes and go riding with our friends. I haven't had a bike in several years, but I STILL have the two minibike frames circa 1982 when I was kid (they were well used when I got them that year). Many hours of riding with my friends and as my dad watched me go up and down the street that I still live on today.

    An old trick we use to get something to tie wire to in order to fish them through handlebars is dental floss and an air gun. The dental floss will go in the direction of the air. So in the case of your handlebars, you would put the floss in the lower hole and blow towards the grip end. Works every time and it's super simple and quick. Just for future info. Zip~

Now, the big question is, do you have a trick for getting the rubber grommet into that handlebar hole while still leaving enough room for the headight lead (or is it the horn?) and the throttle cable. Oil and four letter words aren't working their usual trick.

Was always a great time for just us to travel the back country. She passed on 3/06/2019. Your doing that CT 70 helped take me back to those carefree days. So yes, please get your wife a CT so you can watch her smiles, for miles and miles. Thank you, it helped me get through.

    Came out rather well for the condition it was in when it came your way. A couple things though, some of the older bikes just used straight weight oil in the forks, and if I remember the early Honda's 70's were one of them, will have to dig through my service manuals and see if I didn't let the manual go w/the last 1 I sold, as it's been a while since I did the last one. Also the speedo/odometer and headlight all originally had rubber washers between them and the metal mounts..to stop that shaking/vibration you see on them when you have them at speed, they are frequently gone from when someone got it to them, or they deteriorated off..was lucky to buy a box of round rubber blanks, that I cut holes in for size on those parts on bikes. Great size for riding around shows they would be..but off road you quickly remember how they didn't have enough suspension or power, and why we wanted bigger bikes even as growing teenagers ;) Interesting they have the 88cc kit though, and as that needs some engine love, hope you do get 1 of them in. Also want to see that 4speed get going as well.

    After seeing you have all of the fun with the steering head / bearings, it brought back memories of when I replaced the upper and lower bearings (ball) and both races in my 1975 Honda CB750. I had 2 jack stands holding the bike up in the front in a very cold garage and somehow managed to get it repaired by myself. The steering had a dead spot off center that was very annoying - so much so that when I rode the bike (I bought it new) that it affected handling! Unlike your repair, I took the entire triple tree apart - removed the forks and all other items involved with the upper and lower triple trees.

    Cool , this brings me back to 1970 when I first got my blue green ct 70, 4 speed clutch type so much fun for a 9 year old :), Never had any serious crash . Fast forward to 1974 and I got the awesome Suzuki TS 185 2 stroke , man I was in heaven , and living in Yuma az. small country town :) )))))

    I had a friend who competed in racing motorcycles, He eventually went up in class, and sold me his 1974 Honda XR-75, It was a 5 speed, top speed 45mph. My dad allowed me to bring it when we went camping, And I left those bikes you are riding behind me in the dust!!!! by the way you did a very good job on restoring that bike to running, I really enjoyed this video!!!!

    I had one of those new. In the famous Honda gold paint, it would start with one kick and go anywhere off road to on roads with traffic. I looked them up on E Bay and they are from $3000 to $5000. It's one of those things I wished I still had.

    @@furface9779 Exactly... good call! Also, the original batteries had an inline glass fuse holder, and if the fuse popped, it would generally blow the lights, plus make it run like crap. Most of these small Honda's had battery ignition, and that battery in the circuit was essential to keep the voltage down (7.5vdc or so) to where they don't arc across the points and throw the timing out of whack.😉 Also, you have to keep an eye on the battery acid level at regular intervals, because the 50's and 70's both had no voltage regulator, just a simple selenium rectifier, and were prone to boiling the battery on extended rides.

So, maybe he really didn't see the "WT" inside the 20. I didn't at first, but when he spun the bottle around again I saw it. Still, I put a wink on the end of mine because it's a mild tease and a "maybe you're messing with us" sentence.
