Default Just another newbie

Just another newbie I own (in my opinion,lol) the most beautiful bike on the planet. A 1965 Honda C200. Bought her off eBay and paid WAY to much but it was love at first site. They said it ran well. Interesting considering when we got it home the gas tank was loaded with pinholes and the rust in the petcock had CHISELED (sp?) out. So obviously it needed replaced as well as the carb. Anyway, a few years later I now have her running!

Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high.

Love at first sight... I'm impressed to see your courtship made her alive and well.

For you information, bikes made before 1970 are not designed for unleaded gasoline, so lubrication problems and premature wear can occur, especially on valves. You could prevent trouble with a lead substitute added to the gas tank. This is a common issue with vintage and antique cars as well.

It would be a shame to break her heart, now that you have it beating again !
