Scored 3 vintage bikes

Scored 3 early 70's vintage cycles from a little old lady who's husband was into some oddball bikes. These were all tucked away in the corner of here basement under 30 years of dust and debris. I havent had a chance to get them cleaned up yet due to our early snowfall, but it will be warm enough to give them a scrub this weekend. There are 2 Sachs 2 stroke 125cc enduros, one is complete the other was purchased as a parts bike. The silver/blue one is a Van Tech framed Honda Super 90, apparently the frame and tank are fairly rare according to my internet searching. I also got 4 tubs of spare parts, extra tanks, fenders, bars, tires, etc. I hope to get the Honda running and maybe just part out the Sachs's.

Contrary to the popular consensus of me being a chimp with a cutoff saw, I plan on doing a proper restore of the Van Tech. The Sachs are awaiting an appraisal, then they may go up for sale. Although I do like the thought of making one of those Nazi dirtbikes out of Indiana Jones with one.

The Sachs bikes are neat, but I especially like that Honda S90.
