A 66 Honda 305 Scrambler in pcs that was my dad's. He gave it to me to put back together. The pretty pcs like fenders, tank, etc are already painted. Needs chrome work and needs to get running again. Has good compression still, think it needs electrical bits. Hasn't run since the mid 80's I believe.
And a 74 Suzuki TC100 that is gonna cost me a few bucks from the folks....but....it has 640 original miles on it...most put on by me...lol. It's real clean for original.

I'll try to get some better pics by pulling them outside if there is any interest in seeing them. The honda is rough obviously.

So did mine! lol.. My dad had it from the early to mid 70's up until the mid 80's...When I was about 4 or 5 he gave it to his brother to ride back and forth to work. I don't know how long that continued, but it was cast off into a metal garden shed after it quit running for my uncle and sat there until about 1996 when my dad asked about it and we rescued it from the shed. It was almost too late....All the chrome has gone to crap, but the rest of the sheetmetal was in decent shape. I sandblasted all the sheetmetal in auto shop and we had everything painted at the same time and same color as my jeep that was painted for a graduation present. Like alot of my dad's projects, it got taken apart and not put back together. A little over 3 years ago my dad had a massive stroke that left him a quadriplegic. He handed the chore of finishing it off to me. I don't know when I will actually get to it, but I will get it back together someday. I'll drag the Honda out of the garage and get a better pic at some point too, but all the paint work is boxed up safe in the attic.

And the TC100 was bought from my parents neighbor that bought it new. He had purchased it for his wife in 74 and she rode it a few times and then did a slow dump in their gravel driveway on it. Broke the rear turn signal and mirror on the right side. Never rode it again and it sat in their shop until my dad picked it up for $500. Dad was in the right place at the right time on that one. It had just under or just over 200 miles on it then I think. A little bit of surface rust on the chrome that cleaned right up with an SOS pad. I need an oil tank cap for it and a right side mirror still... The rear signals are not correct but they match each other. I don't know what happened to the originals other than one was broken. It runs great though!
