    Here is my 1965 Honda S90 motorcycle that I'm currently trying to restore. I'm the third owner of it. I bought it sometime in the 70s from a guy my dad worked with who bought it from another guy they worked with. This was my very first motorcycle. When I parked it all those years ago, sometime in the late 70s, it wouldn't start. It's been sitting in my parents' barn up in PA all these years. I never had any intentions of restoring it and am really surprised that someone didn't haul it to the dump years ago. When I was home for Thanksgiving last year, I went to the barn and looked at it. Found that the motor wasn't seized up, and I immediately decided that I was going to attempt to restore it. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. Parts for these bikes aren't so easy to find. Thank goodness for eBay. I was actually able to get it started again after all these years though. Now I just have to repair/replace a bunch of other parts and pieces and hope that I can get it running good once more.

      I remember these as a kid (well, early 20's)! People were laughing at "Rice-Grinders" then but not later. Ambitious project but you should be able to find the parts. Bon chance.

      Thanks for the love, folks! Yeah, blunderbuss, these old Japanese bikes can run forever. I have a lot of the parts already, but it's just been too hot and humid here to work on it. Luckily I found an online group of guys who have these and they can answer any questions I have. A couple of them know these bikes inside and out, which is good because I'm not very mechanically inclined. I didn't know these bikes were so popular until I decided to restore it. If it wasn't my very first bike, I wouldn't be doing it.

      Don't shy away. I'm an aircraft technician & I'm not mechanically inclined! LOL!

      Thanks, Michael. There's no going back now because I've already gone over the budget I set for myself.

      And thanks for the love, folks!

      Thanks, Sean. Even better than the bike though is the barn. Built by hand by my grandparents. Those walls are all flat rock, and you should see the huge, hand cuts beams in it.

      You have your hands full there,Good luck!

      I have some from when my mom was a little girl and some from now. We tore down the top of it over 30 years ago because it was starting to be unstable but save the bottom part and turned it into a storage place, garage-type building. Is there a section for buildings here?
    12. gargoylecollector gargoylecollector, 10 years ago
      Probably not ,but post it anyhow,they will re-cat. it anyway!

      Staff, I'll keep my mouth shut!

      I posted some pictures under the Photographs category of the barn.

      Very nice looking, the bike looks like it'll cost/cause a lot of Playtime
    16. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 10 years ago
      Doesn't matter what you poste it under as it will be changed anyway. Sorry Staff. The devil made me do it! That's my story & I'm sticking to it.
