When I was a boy I used to ride that Honda Mini Trail and Trail 70. Back then we thought they were the chit!
Nostalgia mode ON:
I got my Trail 70 with money saved from paper routes.
In the 70's when they built the missing mile connecting the northern end of the NJ turnpike to Rt 80,
we referred to the massive construction site as 'the dunes'. Flying jumps out of the on ramp valleys,
it was heaven for about 2 years.
When I finally sold it I demonstrated for potential buyers in front of the house.
I pulled a standing start wheelie and with the front still in the air, shifted into 2nd and held the front up a bit longer.
That was the pinnacle of my motor riding prowess, at age 15 ;-)
