Drove to Quebec Today to drop off a trike and some parts .. Once I got there made the deal and was putting the trike away in the barn, I seen a strange back wheel sticking out from under a tarp covered in dust and coon sh@*T... Just had to look!!! 172832172833
Long storie short Its been in the barn for about 25 years, and now its in the box of my truck, she runs,(Fresh gas and 3Kicks) and im taking it back to Toronto with me:D!!!
Don't know anything about them CT's but looks like neat little bike for some kid!!! And being me I just couldn't leave it there for another 25 years!!:D

No I have never been one for saving things. I sold hundreds of my trophies,gave away all my riding stuff,3wheelers,motorcycles ect. ect. Even now once I do a magazine project bike I sell it soon after. Yes I do have some regrets, but can't do anything about it now.

You cant take it with you when you die, so i dont blame you.
Take the cash and spend it on something else that makes you happy.

I'm just glad I got my Team Honda 200x back. This was one of those regrets.
