Yes.When I was a kid the muffler fell off of my brother's Honda S90.I thought I would pick it up off the street and when I did--yeeeouch!!All my fingertips were blistered and it hurt like hell.I didn't tell my Mom until she discovered it while we were eating dinner.Blisters were there for about 2 weeks and I also got my ass blistered for not telling her earlier.

@gurlwatcher22 wow usually people get burnt on their legs - it hurts like hell so this must have been very sore. One's fingers are usually very sensitive.

@gurlwatcher22 I think that was the first bike I ever rode - chrome on the sides of the gas tank?

@hlpflwthat IIRC yes, the Honda wing emblem on a black slab of ribbed rubber surrounded by a chrome obround ring on both sides of the tank.

Lol - that's the one! Kids up the street had it and I was just devastated when my dad wouldn't let me work out a plan to buy it when their brother sold it.

(because he'd found a Trail 70 for me!)

I'd love to have either of them today :)
