The Ct70 Phase

I once called the ct70 or the dax, ugly. Now I think its kinda cute in a ugly way!
I ended up buying this one when looking at a parts bike, this ct70h was in the garage just waiting for me to rescue it! It was the nicest of my small fleet of 70 cc mini trail bikes.

Z50 Monkey bike

Naturally I needed to have a z50 after the 2 speed only fun of the qa days and rear shocks! This littlebike came with a totally wrong tank, one from a puch, but mostly complete running condition. I got the owner to throw in the early z looking tank shown on it in the pic above. I took the whole mess apart and cleaned, striped and repainted the frame, wheels, front end and tank. Filled in the side plate and did a little reprofiling on it.







The QA50 short term obsession

Like most I wanted a QA because it brought back fond memeries of fun times as a young kid! It kinda became a brief obsession.


This one came from Ebay. Classic bike in a box, lotsa new OE parts all ready to put together! Ebay is evel...
These little bikes are a great way to learn motorcycle engine rebuilding, lots of printed material and parts availibility!
