The Flight of the Phoenix




















The Honda officially runs. I took it for a drive down the lane last night. The carbs still need a little adjusting and I need to get a couple of grommets for the side covers but other than that, it's a runner. Looks pretty good even with that chopper wheel it's sporting. Now that I've got the tools out, maybe I should start on another one.

I remember that bike being completely different colors!!?
Perhaps I'm thinking of what it looked like when you got it.

It was pearl white with some gold in it depending on the light. I'm pretty happy with it now. It's kinda nice finishing something. I'm thinking of doing the 900 next. That frame's set up for a sidecar. That could be fun. I'm up for ideas.

Unk- Since your comment was posted on Friday, I'm assuming you mean the week of the 4th - 9th. Answer's yes. Give me a heads up and I'll make sure I'm around.
