My dad bought me this old honda s90 back in 1978 for $100.00. I rode it to highschool for a few years before I went up to a 450 nighthawk in 1984. I kept it at my folks house and a few years ago my dad told me to get it out of his shed. I brought it home and decided to do a bring it back to riding  shape. I hope to have her done next summer. Should be a blast to ride her after 30 years.

A black S90 with a full fairing was my first bike. Used to ride it to my first job when I left school at 16 knowing everything there was a need to know.

Ran it for 2 years before I swapped it for a Velocette, LE200.

Many years ago we would play "fox and Hounds", like "tag your it" at the end of Blue Grass Airport run ways. There  were all kinds of bikes, a Harley Sprint, two strokes, ECT. I had a 305 Super Hawk. When all the dust settled and all were tagged we looked up on the big hill and there sat a lone rider wanting for someone to give chase. He was on a S90 and always the last one caught.  cooldude
