In preparing my workshop for the R2 project, I'm attempting to get other past projects out of it. Case in point being a very cool 1965 Honda 90 motorcycle. Two summers ago, I found this bike in my father-in-law's garage and set off on a restoration crusade to make it shine again. After three months, the thing was brilliantly clean...only it wouldn't run.
I've tried reseating the valves, rebuilding the carburetor, cleaning out the gas tank...and nothing. Tonight was my last ditch effort and the damn thing does NOT want to turn over. The only thing that I can think of is that magical patch of grease holding the thing together was wiped away, never to return. I found another bike last year off of craigslist (same year and model) and it runs like a top. I'm afraid this bike is destined for the same fate as the stupid air hockey table.
One R2 related note: I've discovered that all of my drawings for the droid are in metrics. So either I move to Europe or get some conversion charts. Yeesh.
