    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

She is a '67 Honda Super Cub CA100 w/just over 6K miles.
Mostly there, needs some electrical problems sorted out, but it runs well.
Buying it from a fellow GSR member.

I had a white one when I was 15 and have always wanted another...so I got a new project.




 
Even better...the faster red model.
Looks great.
Do you know how much of it is oem or does it have some repro parts on it yet?

Don't know. I think it is pretty much all original. I do know the exhaust was replaced, but not if it is OEM or aftermarket.
 
I had one of those. Crashed it many a time in dirt fields and railroad right of ways. Tore the foot pegs off the frame. broke or bent about everything. I liked the way that you could push the shift lever part way and it would rev in first, and you could pop the clutch and wheelie that way. there was a big patch of ice plant, where I could get the bald tire to spin. then it would inch to the dirt and wheelie. I was under 12 years old, I think.

Yours looks better...
 
I think everybody in the whole world must'v had one of those, I had couple of those in the fields. The headlight glass on that one has slipped round a bit, and considering its age it's in very nice condition.
 
The best selling motor vehicle of all time.

I'll have one some day, as I have been keeping my eyes peeled for that beautiful one that screams "Take me Home!"

I've ridden many of them in different parts of the globe and they are economical & outstanding transportation.
 
Gorgeous little machine! All you're missing is Audrey Hepburn on the front. It looks like a gas to ride -- at least when there isn't much traffic.
 
Bob I think if you hang a bar on the back it will make an awesome bracket bike.
That's a sweet little bike that will put a smile on your face.
 
Well brought the Honda home this morning. She started right up, although the lights aren't working, but I'll get that fixed.
Took a few "before" pics. I'll start a separate thread when the project officially begins.









 
That's awesome, Bob! I saw a 'mature' lady getting on one of those a few years ago when I was down in Milford, NJ. She may even have been the original owner, which would be way far out cool. I love them little old Hondas.
 
Poked around a little yesterday. Battery is shot...two cells completely dry. Cute little thing, though.;)
