    Barn find..

    Mine are never anything like that.
    I did get a sweet '91 Mazda B2200 pickup with 35k miles yesterday. I had a guy pick it
    up and drop it off at my son-in-law's shop because the clutch wasn't disengaging. My
    daughter saw it and next thing I know, they own it.
    I came up from WV where a 101 year old guy had it and only drove it into town to church
    and do shopping. He gave it to his granddaughter up here but she didn't like standard
    shift and roll-down windows. She needed a bathroom renovation more that the truck so
    a barter deal for some of my labor was made.
    My son-in-law freed the clutch and took it for a test drive, then my daughter drove it. She
    loves it.

          Talking about "barn" finds. In our case, it was a "sheep station" find. Waz's cousin bought a sheep station up in the Murchison region of WA from a 90yo guy who had the place for something like 70 years. The wife had long moved off the station and rehomed herself in Gero (Geraldton). They had no kids. So the cousin bought out the crown lease (you can't buy the land up there). So anyway, when he was clearing out all the shit in the outbuildings, there was this bike parked up, still with the key in it. He bought it down a few years back and gave it to us. We've just stored it in our shed - LOL! I know its a Honda cos that's what the badge says. Perhaps a Benly? We dunno. I was thinking about turning it into a letterbox, or something .... Apart from farked, any ideas what it actually is?

              My cousin bought one of those in the 60s and passed on his 50cc Honda to his
              younger brother and I to rip up the pastures on.
              We thought 305cc was big power then.

                Hey Mike, do you have any old photos?

              Fran, that is not too shabby. Maybe you guys can restore it. At least pull it apart and see if its possible.
              What a cool find!

                That was the intention, but very time-poor ATM. One day .... maybe

                55cc? Is this a trick question? Am I a smartass?

                OMG!!! I rode one a these so many moons ago...Very heavy to steer and power was an unknown concept.
                If I remember well, the first inch on the gear shifter disengaged the clutch so you could actually use the hand lever only pulling away.
