figured id make a new place for folks to post their second or even third string bikes. mines an 82' honda cm450 which i rescued from a coworkers backyard for the measley sum of $200. had it running again in two days with new air, fuel, and plugs, removed the baffles, broke down the carbs for cleaning, mounted a much better handlebar from ebay, removed the mirrors and did a lot of rust removal and detail painting. :dthumb: ride it almost everyday on the way to work :dthumb:

Hey dave, is that the nsx in the background of the 2nd pic? If so you definitely need to put up pics of it. Those cars are gorgeous.

It's a Honda. All you need to do is crank it up and go. I had two pressure washers that sat underneath a deck for 2 years. I bought them and put some new gas in and bam they worked (And still do after 4 years) perfect!!!

My normal bike is a beater bike. I bought it wrecked and put it all back together. Here it is...

Which I plan to rattle can it primer black today. I was going to paint it but I don't have the time so I'm just going to primer it for now.

If you did I must have missed em. Ive been into cars since well before I started riding so probably would have remembered if I saw em.
