My name is Liam I'm from Australia and I'm 16 years old, i've been watching this site for a while and I've always been interested in bikes, so after about a year of watching builds etc i decided i just can't wait any longer, i looked around online and finally found this old Honda, one thing i realised when i was looking, that the price difference between Australian Honda CB's etc is massive compared to in america where i see them running but in bad condition for $500+/- here with a seized motor etc rusted to guts there like $1k... So having never driven a CAR let alone a bike, i decided not to spend that much and bought this Honda. Its Got a good base i believe for a small Tracker bike, The only issue i have realised is certain parts are hard to come by. It's a 2 stroke, 98cc ( i believe ) and can reach top speeds of 105 km/h. Which i think in conversion is about 62mph. It runs, The seller drove it down my quiet street and reached roughly 80-90 on it no problem and its in what i believe good working order, it idles fine and sounds fine. But i can't ride it as i don't even have my licence. Its mainly got a lot of surface rust. Here she is;

(not quiet sure how to post an image on mac so i have to link a website where i uploaded it).
she's stripped completely and the engine is out and this is how i'm going to attempt to make the seat;

The idea is, because I'm 16, I'm on my L's ( Learners for bike ) My hope is, i can work on this for a year until I'm 17, which then ill be able to ride around by myself on it. Hopefully everything turns out OK and the bike turns out to be great and done by my 17th.
thats it for today more in the next week and so forth, but quick question, I took the engine casing off, and a shit tonne. I mean a shit tonne of Engine Oil came out. Is this alright? Im really this noobish and i hope to learn a lot along the way. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere.
