My luck turned around today, look what I just found in a condo storage unit, in Crestview Hills, KY. Don't ask what I paid, I'm ashamed to say but it was less than anyone could guess. It was on Craigslist yesterday for about 2 hours when I saw them. One has 3K miles, the other 5K miles, story I got was that they were in his family since day 1, his Dad got them new in 1971 in Florence, KY, his brother also got one. 10 and 12 years old at the time! He said they walked into the dealership, picked out the ones they wanted, and were riding them a few hours later! They were used throughout the 70's until around 1980 when the kids went off to college, stored in a barn in Berry KY until around 2010 when he picked them back up and took them to the same Honda dealer in Florence, got them running one last time, used them for about a year or two with his kids and then they got stuffed away when his kids went off to college. Sad story now, getting divorced, he was in the middle of clearing out the storage unit, these were WAY in the back. He said they were both running fine when he stored them, I bet I'm riding them around the neighborhood before the weekend is out. One is dated 5/70 and the other 6/70, original keys too. Also threw in a bunch of extra parts and some service records I believe. These are going to be fun to bring back to life, not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, I will most likely take them to our July 4th family reunion this year to show them off!
