A friend gave me a Honda SL100, an SL125, an extra 125 engine, three extra heads and two extra sets of forks. I’ll post pictures tomorrow to ensure that no one is envious. The mice moved out at least 30 years ago and everything is locked up and rusty. I’m thinking of building a stripped teaching bike. What could possibly go wrong?
Y’all have seen this a hundred times, but my all time favourite.Age 14, 1972Made me feel happier than I thought was possible.
The bikes of that era had classic lines, or maybe the lines became classic to us because of our age. You were born a year before me.One of the best things marketing ploys the Big Four ever did was to make the little bikes look like the big bikes. The big four were distinctive, but each brand was like a motorcycle "family." Made it very easy for us yutes to imagine we were on big bikes......Alas, I was too poor to own anything cool back then, but, imagination ruled the day anyway!
I’ll post progress pics. Both bikes are very rusty and pistons are locked. My niece wants to learn wrenching, So we are going to dismantle and build them both side by side. I did some quick checking and parts are much less expensive than I’m used to with Guzzis, BMWs and Norton’s. Also without wiring lights they should be easy builds. I’m worried about the condition of one of the frames but we’ll see.
