This is my father, Don Graves, and he was responsible for setting up the first Honda dealerships in the U.S.. I never saw this film until after he passed in 2020. He was a very humble man.
Great film. I dig the taxidermied bucks in the woods. Someone gave them the forwards and aft, the camera cuts away, shot is taken and when the camera returns, the taxi’s on the ground! Great stuff, well done.
In 1965 we took Mike's Honda 50 step thru and loaded up our camping gear and a 30-30 and a 30-06 and drove up into the Huachuca Mountains from Meadow Lark in Sierra Vista Az. We had to weigh 350 pounds or so.... 15 miles or so one way....All we got was a jack rabbit and we could find of it was the hind legs, the soft point 30-30 just seemed to make the bunny disappear. And as food, the legs we like piano wire.
I had heard about this film from Herb and Mike Uhl and I am thrilled to be able actually to see it. As a Honda Super Cub trail motorcycle enthusiast, this is an amazing historical film and I am interested in finding out if there is the possibility of a higher resolution version in existence. Thank you
We bought a 1967 CT90 from original owner in North Idaho and boy oh boy the man had so many great stories about he & the bike. We still have it down in Borrego Springs Ca now
Great video. When I was 9 yo my brother (7yo) and I bought a 1962 C100 Super Cub 50 for 65$. It had a 55cc engine with a trail sprocket and missing the front fender, so it was very close to a Trail 55. Tore up 3rd gear in the trans 2x and bent the rear swing arm 2x but other than that it was tough as nails and tons of fun for us.
At last I could see the buck . Got a little closer aimed and took my shot . Dam I missed , Bullet bounced off a rock then a tree then another tree . I just shot my self in the eye .
