A Message From Enzo: <\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll find my extensive qualifications noted here assuring when considering me to carry out the work on your beloved Honda Minitrail. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find I\u2019m more than qualified to do such work & that my vast & varied experience in the industry will make you feel at ease.
\nPlease feel free to look around at my official qualifications from Honda.
\nYou will note that the \u2018machine shop techniques\u2019 in the Honda booklet are not stamped. This is not a mistake. When I was 16, I got my first job at the same Honda dealer where I became certified. The shop is connected to a machine shop & they have the same owners. My machine shop training was very extensive & was overseen by some of the most talented and experienced machinists in the industry. While working at the motorcycle shop, business would slow down during the harsh northeast winters. During that time, I would work in the same building, but in the machine shop side. At a very early age, I learned how to carry out all forms of machining processes connected with motorcycle engines; Cylinder boring & honing. Valve & valve seat resurfacing, cylinder head surfacing, crankshaft repair & balancing, transmission gear undercutting & shift fork repair. Anything you could think of or need to do to a motorcycle engine, I did for months at a time every winter. This training, coupled with my official Honda training & 20 years experience has proven invaluable to me in my position. In addition to my Honda training, I\u2019m a fully certified BMW motorcycle technician and Ducati Certified motorcycle technician as well.
\nIt may interest you that I\u2019m involved with motorcycles in many other ways that compliment my technical background.<\/p>\n

Over the past 20 years, I have assisted roadrace outfits with their program utilizing both vintage & modern machinery. Being involved in vintage racing roadracing is another invaluable asset that I\u2019m privileged enough to have garnered over the years. Many of the vintage racers that I work on are from the 1960\u2019s & 1970\u2019s; the same era as many of the vintage minitrails that I restore. It\u2019s tough for me to articulate just how valuable this type of experience is towards the end result in my restoration.<\/p>\n

I could spend days telling you how immersed I am in the motorcycle world, but I will do my best to give you the overall idea of exactly how dedicated I am to my work.
\nI spend my days working on Honda mintrails or scouring Ebay for a customers unobtainium part.
\nI spend my nights working on mintrail engines, as they require very little noise to work on.
\nWhen I go to sleep at night, I can twinkle my toes & touch one of 2 bikes at the foot of my bed: my blue 1969 Z50AK1 or my 1970 Red QA50. These bikes live in my bedroom & are the coolest bikes in my collection of many minitrails.<\/p>\n

On some weekends, I\u2019m involved in modern roadracing & race a GSXR750.
\nI do all of my own machine preparation including engine work.
\nI prepare the machinery of all of my close friends.
\nI have a significant customer base of sportbike riders & racers.
\nI currently possess an expert roadracing license issued by the CCS sanctioning body for the Northeast.
\nI have held a roadracing license since 1994.
\nSome weekends, I go trail riding on my Honda CRF150.
\nSome weekends, I go ride my motorcross bike; a Honda CRF250.
\nSome weekends, I occasionally go Supermoto riding on my Honda XR100 that does double duty. I made my own front disc brake conversion with CR250 parts.
\nI could go on.
\nLets just say that when I\u2019m not restoring Honda Mintrails, I spend a lot of time riding, racing & building Honda motorcycles.<\/p>\n

I have enclosed some photos that I feel are of significance.<\/p>\n

If you have any question as to the level of qualification that I have, please feel free to ask me to elaborate. Also feel free to have a look at my testimonials page. I sincerely hope that I have done enough to convey the message that your mintrail will be in good hands & you will be more than happy with the results. Your satisfaction is my number one priority.
\nI have a very broad Minitrail customer base.
\nI can furnish multiple references upon request.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Enzo
