    My first bike was a CD175, the early retro single carb version of Shasta’s bike. Vintage Monkey is now officially on my California venue list, if the powers that shouldn’t be ever allow us to fly again.
    Thank you for sharing this inspirational story

    Wow! Just wow! Shasta your bike is super cool. I love the look of it and how it looks while you ride. Just beautiful...the colour, the tone, etc. It is really remarkable that what you re doing with your passion... to find out about your motorcycle repair and restoration venture! Cheers to Vintage Monkey!

    Good for you girl. I just bought a 1979 Honda CB750 and I am restoring it to original. I also had a Honda CL 175 and it was one of the best bikes I ever owned. Would like to find another one. Also had 3 Honda 450's. Another great bike. My prize restore is my 1970 Norton Commando 750 Roadster which I still own.

    my first bike was a CD175 (single carb version) and it was totally bullet proof. Amazing little bike and already retro styled from new! Those Hondas had unburstable engines. Great memories!

    Awesome stuff, very cool little bike. 72 CB500 here, just learning the character of old bikes but I dig it. Super cool story, it sounds like an ideal life. I like her strong presence and character, plus brains and beauty..and passionate about motorcycles?! Triple threat.

    My first was a Kawasaki G3SS. 89cc and would do 70mph. A little Japanese demon! It had an oil pump, oiled the fuel mix automatically. I would play with the engine, take the head off... disassemble the brakes and hubs. Lots of fun. I went to college and about that time my little brother mentioned it and asked if he could sell it to a friend. I agreed and have regretted it ever since. I still have the title and memories.

    What would make that little bike sound really good would be a crank and cam from a Honda CD175. 360 crank. It will sound like a little Triumph!

    So what's the HP on your CL and what gearing are you running? My race bike makes right at 24 hp and we usually run a 17/35 for most tracks. Top speed is about 90 mph on a long straight like at Road America.
