Not in my midget because it is awaiting parts, but on my little vintage motorbike. Its a 1982 Honda Twinstar 200cc bike. Small but with enough motor to run the highways ok. It only has a top speed of 70 but I like it because it averages over 80mpg going to work and back or whatever. Just went 176 miles on 2.1 gallons. Anyways, I rode into asheville and was gonna go to a place called barley's tap room, but I could not even find a place to park the bike it was so crowded, so I just kept on riding and went back towards home. Started to pull into a grocery store and there is a Spitfire all slumped over in the middle of the parking lot. I talked to the owner and it had a ball joint come loose on the drivers side and the tire was up against the firewall. Not much I could do to help him, but talk to him until the wrecker got there. When he gets the parts it will be a fairly easy fix, so I expect I will see him on the road.
 
Kim, I keep forgetting you're up in Asheville. If you aren't already familiar with this group, look up The British Car Club of Western NC.

Little bikes are a good time. My Honda S90 is the only one of my 3 little fun vehicles that is (sorta) running right now. Sounds like a nice little run, and you made a new friend.

I went to the meeting last month. The place where they meet is only a mile from the house. I am not good with names but I might have met him. Had the midget at the meeting. Ask him if he remembers a 71 mustard midget.
 
Neal does have an early Midget or Sprite but he spends more time driving his blue Mini-1000. I'll send him an email this week and ask if he went to last month's meeting.
 
There is one again on Tuesday. I am not sure if I will go or not. Depends on my work and I got a feeling that I did not exactly fit in there. Lots of "credit card mechanics" if you know what I mean.
 
Drew,

you're Bonnie's not running? What's up?

I like to fantasize about buying one of those one day.


Ahmen to praise for small bikes. I think they are going to make a big comeback now that gas has officially gone from $$ to $$$. I deeply miss my CM400. But what I really want is an early 350 scrambler. Both are a little bigger than the 200 and the 90, but still small by today's standards.
