Happy Labor Day weekend! Guess I'll buy a CT110!

Admittedly, I've been keeping an eye out for one for a little while now, but 110s are hard to come by. I found this one on craigslist just 20 miles from home, and picked it up this morning. It's got the classic issues of a bike that's been sitting a while, but it came complete (minus kill switch) and had it's paperwork.

I gave it a quick tune up and 5 minute carb clean, and had it running well enough to terrorize my neighborhood! The tires are so old and hard that I ended up terrorizing myself when the torque of 1st gear caused the front to slide like I was riding on sand.

Now I can't wait for tires to show up so I can start riding it for real!

Still have to get mine titled and registered so I can get on the road. Enjoy the bike--they're a hoot.
