My first bike was a pristine Honda CL100 that I beat the piss out of in the
backwoods of the Ozarks.

All the other neighborhood kids had Honda Trail 70's (5 of 'em in the
neighborhood). I was kind of the cock of the walk during that time until
one of the kids got an XR75 that could keep up with my CL100 due to the
better gearing and suspension.
After I got rid of what was left of the CL100, I got an old Honda 90 that
looked alot like the S90. It ran well, but the home welded abortion joint
on one of the rear swingarms was frightening to look at. The 90 did the job
for about a year until I could once again unload my savings account and
spend the $125 for an old worn-out Chevy Impala taxicab.
