Those are pretty cool. I have a TW200 they could convert to the hill climber.

I bought those CT70s cause I was trying to re-live my childhood. I learned to ride on those things! They're a blast! It's just that I don't have the room to ride like I did when I was a kid so I got rid of them. Those things brought back a TON of memories for me.

Just do it Sand_Man! Make sure you taking a riding class and take your time to LEARN/KNOW your bike. When I first got a street bike I rode it when there wasn't much traffic out and on normally not very busy roads. Now I wouldn't hesitate riding anywhere, it's just that I like to ride when and where there isn't a ton of traffic.

Here are some more pics of my Duc:








That vintage Duc that Sarc posted is VERY sweet too!

Thanks!

I hear this all the time when people see my bike. Well 75mph is 75mph it doesn't matter if you're on a rocket or a cruiser or chopper. Believe it or not, I don't speed on this bike near as much as I speed in the P-car.

I've never heard a cooler sounding bike than Bill's Duc. I also have never heard a dry clutch before."Yeah, nice bike Bill, but what the he!! is that loud knocking?"

The bike is actually louder than his 85 911!!

SWEEEET!

Thanks Wayne! I just ordered up a new helmet and a jacket to match the bike. Hopefully, this weather quits soon!
