hope the pic got posted. got a 69 honda CL 2 cylinder 4 stroke 125.. it was sold to my dad in 72 from a Navy Chief/boozin buddy real cheap hmm bar tab?? I got it from my dad in 77 it was rode,and flogged by my older brother,sister, then me till i traded it in 1980 for a Can-Am 250 qualifier desert/enduro racer.. Ya know that old CL was a "E" ticket ride not fast but reliable.. I heat seized that damn thing at least twice a week in the 100 degree plus summers in Ridgecrest calif (Mojave desert) and i'd let it cool and she'd go again.... ignorance of youth lol. i guess i should of kept that Honda.. my timex quit way before it did and so did Patrick Swazee..
Enjoy the Ride....

The pic came through just fine Terry, thanks for posting. That's a great story and a nice bit of history all rolled into one. I had a couple bikes similar to that that I flogged also. I had a yellow 125 Benelli that I rode to high school and stunk up the neighborhood with it's exhaust. Maybe that's why all the neighbors didn't like me. Rich
