Dad's bike

[eemsreno]

Well with cold weather starting up maybe I can get something done this time.
It hasn't run for about 25 years.
Here is dad on it


Looks like he had a big rear rack for it, I missed out on not picking that up out of his garage when he died.



It's also missing the battery cover on the right side. I looked all over for that at the time but to no avail. It was just like him to have removed it and just pitched it.
It would have just been in his way.

Steve since you're missing the rear rack maybe install one of these touring seats and long range fuel tanks instead. LOL LOL

My dad had a red one that we learned to ride on. We trashed it for him.

Learned on my dad's '69 Trail 90. Wish I still had it. Have you seen Honda's new Trail 125? So want one.

Probably kick over first time.

Used to go to a mate with a field and mess about. The 90 would just keep circling while 125 Bantam was being fixed with string and three different sizes of hammer.

This guy has some good footage of how an adventure bike performs lol...

Late 30s, maybe 1940-ish with the clothes. My Dad is the one in back.

Youngstown tore down his house shown below about 2 years ago. The house at the right in the photo above was where the grass lot is.

why did they tear it down?

My first bike!

Mine too! Had a yellow one also. It took some abuse but always ran.

Never had one growing up but I occasionally saw them around. Ended up getting a couple of them over the years and kept all the extra parts to build my own Trail 125.

I think I have an extra rack like that laying around, if I do you can have it for shipping cost.

Youngstown lost a lot of its' population and has a problem with abandoned buildings.
