Trail 90 ??  ;)
Anyone here old enough to remember Honda trail 90's ( the ones with the step thru frame), damn things would run forever.
Which proves the adage that "engine life is inversely proportional to horsepower". Since a trail 90 produces almost no power it's life span is almost forever.
A conclusion is the place you got tired of thinking

I rode them at the Honda dealer I worked at.

We did the set-ups and then had mini bike races in the warehouse...never in the dirt though. ;D

raises hand as well.
I own two of them. after i ride the ST alot and then get on the 90 they are scary to say the least.
love them in the dirt on trails. I think that's why my 40yo VW bug still runs strong 50hp baby! [cheeky]

Used to have a 70.

Now, where are the new mystery parts of the day?!!!
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I'll have to get right on it. Don't really have much interesting right now but that could change any day. Spent all day last Friday replacing a battery in a Carrera GT, currently halfway through a rebuild on a GT3 engine that got a little hot, and today I was replacing a main wiring harness on a 996 that got chewed on. I'll try to come up with something creative for all yall yahoos.

Utmost Love, Jon.

Just saw the last few posts, I rode a couple trail 90's around Mexico a little bit, though contrary to a previous post, they both gave up the ghost.

To continue the thread-jacking (might as well have something to read until Jon returns w/a mystery part):

Flight Cycles *very* first paying customer was the resurrection of an early 60's grey-market Honda Trail 70.  Never had so much fun @ 22mph!  Wheeeee!!!!
