[QUOTE="Bandit Bill, post: 68896, member: 1741"] While not a 'minitrail' as such, it is of the same engine family, so thought i'd post it up as a light restoration project to be done over this winter. It's destined for the street next summer. a 1982 Passport with the CDI ignition, the 12volt electrics, and in Canary Yellow. Yay. It needs a light restoration. It needs a little TLC, an exhaust, and a pair of new shoes, but i did hear it run. This one is destined for the street, next summer. A picture flood of the new '82 Passport addition: Ridden 3 seasons, 3108 km's total, then parked for 24 years. What a waste.. Coincidently the same year that i had started riding on a $50.00 1966 Honda C65 Cub. Last Registered in 1986, thereafter the original owner sold it to his brother in law on a promise to pay. He never picked it up. Came with OEM front basket, and a 'barn-door' plexiglass windscreen. I bet that sucker reduced the top speed by 10 km/h. The Bling CT70 can just be seen behind the couch in it's storage spot for the coming winter. The exhaust looks good from a side view shot, but the back side has more holes than all the Swiss cheese in Switzerland.. a good example of why it's a good idea to fog up an exhaust with oil before storage, and occasionally thereafter for the duration. Not sure what i'm going to do with either the '81, or '82 Passports in the way of work, modifications, or parts swapping. The '82 is destined for the street - the '81, i'm thinking that i wlll be reviving my long dormant account (last time i went nuts with it was for the sidecar rig sourcing parts for it ~5 years ago) and going on Ebay to farkle it up with some Asian aftermarket bits over the winter, as well as fully repair the lighting electrical system. Time will tell. Until i make up my mind, i'm likely not doing much with either. Someday, i'll get to that 'bike in a box' CT70 sitting on the trailer for the start of the restoration... [/QUOTE]
