My Vote would be it's all about marketing ....Honda has to sell more bikes to justify the money it takes to be the world champ ... And they get to write it off in the advertising budget , And the move to sell them again thru honda dealers in the states ... It's all about brand recognition ! ( I think !) Glenn And we all know , "you meet the nicest people on a Honda " And Bou , Fuji , and the rest of the crew I met in Tennessee kinda personifies that ad campaign ...

Common SENSE prevails !!!

Not that I know of ...

Well I hate to say it but I just finished my taxes ....Thanks Barrack !!! . I made 2/3rds more this last year and I will get back 80% less than last year ... We need a flat rate tax ! Can't a single dad with 3 kids in school get a break ? So paying cash for a mont is out of the ? right now , But I do have fantastic credit ... Time to do some math ! Glenn

I think it appears so , as the repsol is the only one we can order here in the states , from what I've read ...

Is Honda trying to kickstart trials again in the states ???? One could hope so ! Maybe Yamaha will follow suit with that scorpa looking one they campaign in Japan .... And contingency money !!!!! Move over X-GAMES !!! Let's get some exposure !!! :) I want one !!! Glenn

Lay it to rest now ... it's out of our hands ...

Now That Was Trials !!!

That'll work ! Did you epoxy/glue it too after all the dremel work ???

All the small wheeled ty80's were 4 speeds , As stated above may have a ty50 gearset in the 80 case ?

oh !

Why are we messing with petcocks on a new bike ????

Try it , Buy it , and learn trials on it ! Great little bikes , and you will amaze yourself what you can do with 8hp... It will teach you technique , not how to just power over and thru things . Making you a better rider along the way ! And Tl's will only go up in value , they all were solid bikes . And yes you can share lubricants with your other Honda ... Have fun , get the bike to a event , and have more FUN !!! Glenn

Where are you in these here states ???

I have to admit ... The Backflip was a cool (although useless) move ... And the YAMS are sweet !

To all the Pet owners ... I know you can relate ... Note on refrigerator door – FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PETS, THIS IS A TRUE STORY. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, IT IS A TRUE STORY. The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door. Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed.. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however.. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required. The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough. Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door: TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS: (1) They live here. You don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture. (3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. (4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they: (1) eat less, (2) don't ask for money all the time, (3) are easier to train, (4) normally come when called, (5) never ask to drive the car, (6) don't smoke or drink, (7) don't want to wear your clothes, (8) don't have to buy the latest fashions, (9) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and (10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children ...

Yeah He's Great like that !!! Glenn

What year is your section ?

I don't think it matters , in the photo's they look bent to me anyways ... But I've never seen them in any of my old fantic literature either !

I installed one of a XR100 that was hanging on the wall in my shop , MSR folding tip , I think i paid about $20.00 for it ... Then my kid killed the XR and I cut the frame up and used the wheels and suspension bits to build my other son's big wheeled TY80 , that got swapped for the Reflex ... I never throw any bike parts away ! Glenn

Wow , Some Beautiful motorbikes , Must be some fond memories for you ... Thanks for the look . Glenn

Search for Bob Wrights Fantic pages , He's got some info online that's downloadable ... Hope it helps , Or as above , contact the French Fantic club , They supplied me with the info on my 97 Section .. Glenn

I'm still waiting to put my Section in a section ...

Yours is looking great , I wonder if mine is a later build , as my complete exhaust is chrome plated ...? Glenn

Ventilation wouldn't be a issue for me , within 5 mins. I'd of crashed and punched holes in the walls .
