CM91: The Sacrificial Lamb


Poor old '69 Honda CM91.  She's lived a long, hard life only to end up as the Rookie Wrench's very first project bike.  She'll soon be disassembled and rebuilt by a guy who has never disassembled or rebuilt anything in his life.  Ever.

If only someone had been quicker on Craigslist, maybe she could have become someone's Sunday morning ride, or joined a garage full of other vintage Hondas.  Maybe she could have even been restored and added to the some Honda Thumper museum.  But alas, the Rookie Wrench got her and now she'll be donating her body to mechanical science, getting torn up and torn down, just so the Rookie Wrench can actually see what a piston looks like.

Hats off to you, brave Honda!  Maybe we'll see you again on the other side...
