Little Old Honda on Mary's Peak
Beautiful morning and time to kill before HH's BFF from high school arrives, so HH took the little old Honda 100 for a ride up to the hill top. BFF lives on the opposite coast, so his arrival is a Big Deal. He works as an ASL interpreter and has always since high school driven motorcycles.

Hi Vita
That little Honda looks good, do you know what year it is? We never had that model in the UK, only the similar 125cc version.
I am still getting out on the Sinnis 250 and enjoying it. Only thing that has gone wrong (so far) was it needed a new battery, but that could happen to any bike. It had a Chinese lead/acid battery. I have fitted a no maintenance glass mat one.
My only other 2 wheeler these days is the Honda SHi125 scoot, which is convenient for bad weather (it has a screen) and so easy to ride as it is "twist and go" and a kid could do it!
Regards to HH.
Hurrah! It's you!
I think the little Honda is a 1970. We could be at a British Car Club gathering right now, but HH is dismantling a wheel w/tire for one of his bikes to lace spokes onto the new repop rim the UPS driver just delivered. He gave up trying to find an actual original wheel. I was gassing up the 2009 Chevy when I saw the beige fixed head XK120 drive by, which reminded me of the picnic at the park where we could be. Maybe next week. Or the next.
Modern oil and batteries are so nice, don't you think? I know those twist and go things are easy, except the stopping part when my questionable knee behaves questionably. I like my 3-wheel bicycle, even though it's awkward in some situations, and I'm SLOW in all situations. I get no complaints from my knee.
I'm happy you're still enjoying 2 wheels, and showing up here. I will give your regards and battery purchase info to HH. Ah. He just walked in, and said the AGM - Deka battery he uses in most everything lasted 12 years in his Gold Wing. He has a Lithium Ion battery in a Harley that he'd originally gotten for a Ducati that turned out to be too shot to fix.
