10.2.20   THANK YOU ! .   Outstanding photography and good writing too .   I loved Japanese trucklets beginning in 1971 when first I saw and made a living driving a Courier (" FORD'S NEW 1800CC IMPORT !" said the decal on the backlight) . under powered and noisy all those old trucks had easy rusting tin foil bodies but actual truck frames and running gear that took a beating and came back for more .   Kudos to Glenn who hipped me to this great article .   -Nate ...

Sweet little bikes .   I began riding on a Tiddler 50 years ago and still love riding them ~ you cannot look macho or other foolishness on little bikes and yes, they still go as far as you want ~ I've ridden 47 year old Honda CT90's (& CM91's, CL90's, etc., etc.) to Death Valley and beyond then back to Lancaster, Ca, again many times over .   All these old Hondas are designed and built to be run wide open in top gear, as long as you like without any damage as long as you keep it properly maintained .   I'm going again in October with some like minded fools in the V.J.L.A., it'll be our 27th annual Death Valley Ride .   -Nate ...

InLine 6 banger .   -Nate ... View more
