I got 'new' toys
My dad and I spent the weekend driving up to Missouri in a truck with no air conditioning to pick up two bikes from my husband's family.
Big one is a 77 Honda 550 Four. Little one is a 69ish Bridgestone 175 Dual Twin(we still aren't entirely sure what Dual Twin is supposed to mean). It was a painfully long trip, but so worth it. I've had a shit eating grin all weekend. :D Best thing about it, both engines turn over :eek: The Honda has been sitting for 27 years and the BS for 34....I love Japanese bikes. :lol: Honda in the truck: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...r/100_0997.jpg Bridgestone in the truck: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...r/100_0986.jpg Both of em just barely fit. That Honda is huge! http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...r/100_0996.jpg We spent a good chunk of the 14.5 hour long drive back discussing what we should do first. We decided that we need to drain the tanks first. We discovered that the Honda has gas in it still...unfortunately we found that out because there is a hole in the tank. :lol: Should be fun getting these guys cleaned up and running. We might make the Honda a street bike, but will probably just have the Bridgestone as a show off bike. |
Those are great finds.
I don't know if it will work, but I have a spare CB350 gas tank sitting in the shed, its almost completely rust free. It would be yours for the cost of shipping (plus $1, a jew gotta make some money and all) |
congrats heather! im jealous! drop the old gas, put in new plugs and jump that sucker. it'll probably fire up you never know. seafoam is your friend ;)
