Blog Post #2: Bike Review

Not Today

Ever since I was little I have admired action sports and the crazy speeds some of the athletes endure. My dad’s dirt bike had been sitting in his garage forever and was planning on fixing it up and taking it out. So I gather up my friends and go out for a ride, but unfortunately we did not make it to the trial that day. We always whip it around and my friend wanted to try it because he had never rode it before. So he takes it down the street and out of sight and does not come back for a while. We decide after a while to drive around and look for him and it doesn’t take long to find him. He had whisky throttled the bike into the curb and crushed his leg in the process. He had been sitting in the sun for a while and looked as if he was going to pass out. Instantly we rushed him to the hospital and the doctor put a cast on his leg. It looked like we were going to have to hit the trails another day!

Description

The item of gear I will be discussing is the Honda Mini Trail 70 and we will delve further into this machine and it origins. This bike can be distinguished by its small T-bone frame and small fat tires. This mini bike has a four stroke engine with a 3-speed automatic transmission that is air cooled. This bike also features folding handle bars and long bench style saddle.

Testing

Ever since I was born this bike has been sitting in my garage and I used to sit on the back of it when my dad would drive around. In sixth grade he let me give it a shot on my own and I crashed it into a brick wall. Then I started getting better and I began getting more comfortable on most terrain.

Origins

Origin

Honda was founded in Japan in 1940 as the country was recovering from World War 2. The creator, Soichiro Honda, manufactured piston rings before he focused his attention to producing affordable motor cycles. This bike is a refinement of others created by Honda in their CT series of motor cycles. There were two models made before this edition released in 1969.
