Good Afternoon to my fellow CT70 enthusiasts!
My name is Christopher Helenthal. I figured I would tell you our trail 70 story if you will indulge me a minute.
My family and I have a Total of nine Trail 70 K0's, including all colors of 3-speed K0 and 4-speed HK0 bikes to make up the original K0 family. We have 2 additional candy gold bikes and one sapphire blue. Most are original bikes but 2 of the 4 speeds have been restored, the emerald green and blue-green bikes.
My uncle John always dreamed of getting a Trail 70 as a kid, but as one of eight children this was never a real possibility. He had fond memories of riding his friend's bike in their neighborhood.
He ended up buying two, 3-speed, Trail 70 about 10 years ago, candy gold and candy sapphire blue to finally realize a childhood dream. Needless to say he is an enthusiast and he as proudly shared them with everyone. We surprised him last year with the candy ruby red bike to complete his 3-speed K0 collection . I mean, if you dreamed of getting any one color as a kid, why not have all three as an adult, right? In the process of buying the red bike our family purchased the 3 colors of the 4-speeds and now have the original K0 family. It's been an obsession and a passion ever since. We are always working on a project bike and tuning.
We do an annual scooters-only charity ride for breast cancer in Orlando, called Scooters 4 Hooters, where the Trail 70's really get to get opened up and shown off with a police escort.
Looking forward to learning more from other Trail 70 enthusiasts!
