From age 10 on, I spent many summer days on the Honda Trail 90s that were kept at our family's Bucks Lake cabin. We were allowed to drive them as soon as we could set the kick-stand and had strength enough to place the bike upright from a lying position. It was great fun. *[Image from "My Freedamn Vol. 8" available at Colette.]

Abby you should check out "On Any Sunday", Bruce Brown's 1971 film about motorcycling. I'm sure even the first minute would have all those gasoline-soaked memories flooding back! Hulu just added it: http://www.hulu.com/watch/79438/on-any-sunday
Also, I love the general purpose/number combo, like the old Olympus "Trip 35".

Ha! I'm a Honda CT-70 girl, myself. I couldn't reach the pedals on the 90. Actually, I probably still can't.
