Just thought I'd stop by, say hi, and post up some pictures of my bike. So far I've found the forum to be very useful and informative - Thank you!

pics of my 6v 1981 c70 on a camping trip -

Yeah, the electric start is nice, but I've started to discover that sometimes is faster to just kick it.

Those Passport things look well smart.
I've only ever seen one over this side of the pond, selling for silly money.
Welcome to our forum, Brother.

Original 72cc with only 5300 miles on the odometer. (very high revving). The only things I've done to the bike so far is replace the long seat with a solo seat off ebay, swap the badly placed square U.S. market turn signals with more aesthetic ones, and remove the "Passport" stickers from the fuel tank.

Here on the east coast, gas stations are actually pretty easy to find. For long distances, or heading to the mountains, I strap a gas can to the front rack.
