third kick after so many
years of sitting idle. These
vintage rides have such a
cool sweet sound to them,
a pleasant sound that can
bring you back to when
you were a kid if you're
an older dude like me and
that's what really makes it
worth it.
-As mentioned above,
this bike was originally
owned and ridden by a
Woman. Since complet-
ing this project, I had sold
it to a friends Wife, a 60 yr young Woman who although had NEVER ridden a motorcycle EVER, had it on her
"Bucket List" to learn how to ride a bike. During the past 2 months, this lady has been trail riding this little
Honda all over camp roads and woods of Naples Maine, mastering clutch/brake/throttle control and just plain
enjoying trail riding for the very first time in her life. I wish I could say there's money to be made waking up
these old beasts but you really can't put a price on personal satisfaction once completing such a fun project and
watching it being enjoyed once again is just priceless!
Winters in Maine sure can be boring but projects like this carry us through the doldrums very well. -If anyone
has got an old ride sitting in their basement, We're always looking
for projects.
