    Nothing like a Honda!

    Decided to pull my 85 Big Red out of the shed today. The last time it was run/ridden was TF 09, after which I hosed it off and stuck it in my unfinished shed standing on the rear rack for space. Fast forward 5 years and the shed is finished, vegetable gardens and a walkway in front of the shed. Had to remove 1 door to get the trike out and then take 1 tire off to fit between the gardens. Pushed it into the garage, drained the old fuel, filled it with fresh 89 and it started in 2 kicks. Rode it around a bit and changed all the oils, now I just need a day above freezing to clean it up. Parked it in front of my other utility vehicle and took a picture.

    I'm amazed the carb wasn't gunked up from setting so long, did you drain the carb before storage? Either way, a start on 2nd kick after 5 years is impressive! Your right, there's Nothing like a HONDA!

    I run everything out of fuel before storage since we have been dealing with ethanol around here for years.
