Rode it for the first time...

My name is Mike and I go by Muxster as well as being a newbie.
I recenty bought a a 1971 CT70H from a buddy that has a small stable in his garage of minis.

Anyways, I got the title transfered, new plate and tags at the DMV and went for a quick twlight ride along the ocean where we in So. Cal. Man what a blast those little bikes are.

I will post pics this week sometime. It's a CT70H Emerald Green with 140cc motor. My aspirations are to do an aluminum suspension with Daytona shocks down the road. It did not come wired so my dad and I ran the wiring as a 12v system with everything working on a new 12v lead sealed battery and the original key switch.

Re: Rode it for the first time...

I missed 5 on the CA Written DMV test last night. I am studying the guide here at work and will take it again tonight. In my disappointment afterwards I went to the bike shop and bought a new helmet and took a put along the beach to Manhattan Beach Pier.

Like 7 people came up to me and were all jazzed to see the little bike and couple made offers to buy it. I enjoyed that part!
