Honda ATC description

This is a 1983 Honda ATC 70 that is in good running condition and is mostly original Honda from top to bottom. It is a 4-speed with centrifugal clutch (no clutch lever, just 4-down on the foot lever) I have had it since 2009.

Here are the details: I bought in 2009 it as a non-running machine in need of TLC, top to bottom cleaning and some parts. It was a gift for my children that year, they had many fun times on it but have now outgrown it.

I replaced the following right after getting this ATC 70 in order to get it road worthy:
  • tires
  • seat
  • seat cover
  • rear decal
  • gas cap
  • stator
  • condenser
  • points
  • brake shoes
  • spark plug
  • spark plug wire
  • carburetor and air filter
It is in good shape, but bear in mind it is 33 years old! It's nice, but it is not a museum piece. There are scuffs, scratches, dings etc. Exhaust pump is rusty. Dent in right side of fuel tank. One of the footrest metal pieces is missing. It can be ridden fine without it (the main foot pegs are both there), but you may eventually want to buy a replacement for it on ebay or elsewhere, it will bolt right back on. Please look at photos and ask questions BEFORE you bid. I will take more photos if you need them. Non-paying bidders will quickly reported to ebay, I don't have any tolerance for people wasting my time with irresponsible bidding.

It does not have an odometer so no idea on mileage, particularly because it wasn't mine till 2009. Mileage with my kids is less than 200 miles.

Always stored in a garage while I owned it. I changed the oil every year and kept the tank full of gas all winter to minimize rust but drained the carburetor. Each spring it started right up. There is small puff of smoke on cold startup but not when running. Always allow warm up for a few minutes with these small air-cooled engines for best results and long engine life! Chain was kept lubed and is not rusty. Brakes work well. It does not leak gas or oil. The tank is original steel. It has very light surface rust inside. I installed an inline fuel filter to prevent particles getting into the carburetor and have never had a problem. There is a governor screw on the accelerator to make sure kids cannot go full throttle until they are ready, this was a handy feature that I used. It can move pretty quickly at full throttle, so safety is an important consideration when the little ones are figuring it out. This is a fun little machine, rock solid Honda quality. They don't make them like this anymore :-(

Thanks for looking. Arranging shipping is buyer's responsibility. Pick-up is also fine, but please work with me on that as I work a lot.

Bear Riding a Monkey? Yep, Bear Riding a Monkey

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Okay, maybe it’s not a real bear, nor is it an actual monkey, but “Bear Riding a Monkey” is as apt a description as any. What we have here is a video about a bear mascot in Japan riding a Honda Monkey. Why?

Rossi Wins at Assen, but Lorenzo Is the Hero; Alpinestars Releases Crash Data

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

There’s only one thing left to say about Jorge Lorenzo’s 124 mph crash during a rainy practice session last Thursday while warming up for the TT Assen: It could have been a lot worse. The images are horrific, but thanks to groundbreaking protective gear, Lorenzo walked away with only a collarbone fracture and a heck of a tale to tell. Today, Alpinestars released a trace graph analysis of Lorenzo’s spill, thanks to data collected from his TechAir airbag suit.

Used: MOTOTENT by Lone Rider

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Since wild camping in the UK is generally regarded as trespassing, I opted for a crowded campsite in the heart of Sussex, open fires allowed, to see if the MOTOTENT is worth the £399 price tag. On the face of it the MOTOTENT is essentially a two man dome tent with a porch, Well I can pick up one of those up from Argos for £100 or less. Also I was struggling to understand why you would buy a tent that you can sleep in and store your bike in overnight, certainly in the UK most places you are likely to stay are fairly secure campsites.
