Finally got my latest project on the road and running. I still have a few little things to finish up on it, and need to source some hard to find trim parts. Here is a quick recap: --- Yes, I have started another project. This time, I at least waited until after I got El Guapo fully up and...

Some details of my latest build: --- I'm starting another project, as the Miyata is 99% done, and I'm ready to build something else. I have had four Honda S90/CL90 parts bikes in the back shed for a couple years, just waiting to become something fun. I've also had a hankering to do up a...

I'm fairly new here, but I thought I would post some pics of my last project. It started life as an abandoned Bridgestone BS-7/D. A little rotary valve two-stroke 50cc job. This is my second Bridgestone project, having previously built up a 1964 90 Sport. I'll keep the words brief, and let...

Just thought I would post a quick intro, as I just found this forum. I have a small collection of little tiddlers, usually resurrected from $200 craigslist finds. In no particular order: 1964 Yamaha YJ1 Riverside 55 with a YSR50 motor (photo shows a GT80 engine): 1966 Honda S65: 1964...
