Anyone in the Bay Area wanna trade their old Honda CT90/110 for my 1989 Honda SA50?
His name is Budders, has 742 miles on the clock, and starts on the first kick.

Santa Cruz is lovely today.
Warm enough to ride to work, but too cold for tourists.

While refurbishing some alloy wheels, I've begun to regret not setting up my media blasting cabinet.

I have a CH125 wheel, and I just learned that it swaps directly onto a CH80... so, you know what that means?
THAT'S RIGHT!
Percy is getting some more unnecessary customization!

Off to do some repair work on a new friend's Honda CH125.
Dash is dead, and it needs tires and brakes.

Drove past a super gnarly motorcycle crash this morning.
Kawasaki mangled in the middle of the road, and the rider balled up on the shoulder.
Looked like a lowside into a guardrail post while coming down the hill.
Hwy 9 takes no prisoners.

Percy's old exhause developed a crack and was way too loud (and hurting acceleration) so it was time to replace it.

Got Percy a new Fart-Can 3000!
The old one has a hole in it, and all the packing is blown out, so it's basically just a straight pipe now, lol.

Percy needs an overhaul.
Plug, Belt, rollers, air filter, carb clean, and exhaust (suddenly got really loud and a little slower, so there's definitely a leak)
He's long overdue for some TLC.
Gonna get performance exhaust and a carb kit when I can afford it, and maybe port and polish the head.

This bike tried to kill me back in 2020 when the engine froze solid at 85mph on Hwy 9 (2 strokes won't hesitate to end you)
Might drag this one out of the shed and finally rebuild it.

This bike is gonna look so good.
Still hunting for that frame.
Amazing how there were plenty of cheap project 90's and 110's nearby when I wasn't looking for one, lol.
Oh well. One will pop up eventually.

I was searching for ways to make the CT90 faster, but I was looking in the wrong place.
It dawned on me that I should be looking at CRF50 pitbike forums.
BINGO!
I also happen to already have a CRF50 engine with an 88cc BBR kit installed.
