Hello folks. As always, impressed with culture of knowledge sharing and assistance that a quality forum brings.
My name is Shaun and I live west of Jacksonville, Florida. I've recently fallen in love with early 70's Honda small displacements. Looking for a 350 to get started on. I'm not extremely mechanically inclined, though I can just about do anything I see someone else do once. We had an early 70's MG Midget that soured me for a few years on owning something that old without a mechanic's background. However, I think some of it was my fault for choosing the one I did. Plus, it was mostly Lucas stuff, so what should I have expected?
So, for that reason, I am liking the simplicity of a small moto. Also, I am thinking about finding one that a shop/restorer has already gone through to start me off in a next to new condition - then I can tweak cosmetics.
Any suggestions or general insight to keep in mind as I kick off?
