Nothing like a Honda!

[200xman]

Decided to pull my 85 Big Red out of the shed today. The last time it was run/ridden was TF 09, after which I hosed it off and stuck it in my unfinished shed standing on the rear rack for space. Fast forward 5 years and the shed is finished, vegetable gardens and a walkway in front of the shed. Had to remove 1 door to get the trike out and then take 1 tire off to fit between the gardens. Pushed it into the garage, drained the old fuel, filled it with fresh 89 and it started in 2 kicks:D. Rode it around a bit and changed all the oils, now I just need a day above freezing to clean it up. Parked it in front of my other utility vehicle and took a picture.

Kind of looks like it's getting ready to pull that big ol utility "vehicle".

I'm amazed the carb wasn't gunked up from setting so long, did you drain the carb before storage? Either way, a start on 2nd kick after 5 years is impressive! Your right, there's Nothing like a HONDA!

It probably could!

I run everything out of fuel before storage since we have been dealing with ethanol around here for years.
