I just love those tanks!

Cant wait to see what you did with yours. I picked one up a little while ago. Still working on getting mine running decent before it gets torn into. Fun to see what you can do with these little suckers. Tank is super cool.

I have one also that will be a winter project. I'm going for a early/mid 70's racer style for this one as my Hodaka 100 looks more like a 50's-60's style racer so that era is already covered.

Quite a few of them now on the boards are getting the cafe/race treatment. I think they are one of the coolest looking small cc stock bikes Honda or anyone for that matter ever built. What hurt their sales/numbers were that they were expensive little bikes compared to others that were available. They pretty much priced themselves out of the market and not many people were willing to pony up that kind of cash for a little 200cc bike.

Hey Chris,
ARTIFICAL TURF...what the?
Hell No!
That's a brand of soft leaf Buffalo grass called "Sir Walter".... I think it was on its' second full season during summer in this pic. I have re turfed the front lawn with Sir Walter last season & have just finished replacing the last section of lawn in my back yard with it too.... not cheap but the best, very soft, green & thick, as you see in the pic....So I suppose it being mistaken for fake lawn should be a compliment?...do they still make "Astro Turf"? ???

damn,i guess i've just found my next project.
