KOTT OGS-90

In so many ways this is truly the motorcycle that inspired me to pursue restoration and modification of vintage motorcycles! This 1966 Honda S-90 belonged to my Grandfather. It was hidden under a tarp in his backyard in Palmdale California for decades. By my late teens I’d taken an interest in the little machine in hopes to get it running and ride it around a bit. I was able, along with my father, to get the bike moderately restored. My Grandfather seemed proud of the occasion as the bike had been essentially in his possession for half of his life. I felt a sense of approval which really inspired me to pursue additional restoration projects.

That was twenty five years and hundreds of projects ago now at this point! This little machine has been with me since the start,  and is presently on display at the Bike Shed in Downtown Los Angeles.
