I could watch this twice, and I might. Your channel is becoming so much more rich. Thanks again for the hard work.
+chaysebrown Thank you brother!
Like a cross of Paul Harvey's radio segments and Mike Rowe's podcast. While seeing something being restored! Great as always!
+Zach Berg Thanks Zack. I probably could slow down a bit..
Brilliant. Your informative and artistic commentary shows the devotion that you have have to not only you're craftsmanship but to the creation we are all unaware of being a part of. History is our story and our story is the future. Thanks for being thought provoking content creator.
Good mechanic,The best restoration vid I've ever seen (after I turned the sound off).
I was 11 when my mother brought home two of these amd another bike. I loved hondas instantly but was really miffed that the little 25 CC home made mini mini MINI bike was mine. When mom was working I would drive hers all over the land of Pinckney Michigan.
Back then state owned land as well as city and county was beautifully perfect with its trees and untouched land. I would pack a lunch, grab a bit of something to smoke *it was the 70's after all* and disappear on the game trails and dirt bike tracks made by the boys. The lakes were glorious. You couldn't reach out and touch your neighbors house from your own window back then. Lush and vibrant, I will forever remember the beauty that was my home.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When I was 15, I bought my first (of many) motorcycle. It was Spring of 1980, and I bought a 1972 Honda SL125, from a friend for $250. He had just upgraded to an old BSA, and needed to sell the Honda so he could buy part for the BSA. At the time you had to be 16 to get your drivers license in Calif., but you could get your motorcycle license at only 15! So I bought that red, two-wheeled taste of freedom and got my license, and rode that bike all over Southern California for several years. Was it the most reliable? Nope, but I learned to work on motorcycles because of it, a hobby I still have to this day. Several years later, I gave the bike to another young man who was wanting his first bike. I am really looking forward to the rest of this rebuild.
Wow...complete teardown. This is not a Mustie1 "rustoration." I like the format with the history lesson integrated into the demonstration video. Beats crappy music. Thanks!
Good story. Looking forward to the rest of the restoration.
An audible story set to the teardown of the subjects early work... brilliant. Hope a great Christmas time for yourself, Amy, and all of your family !
Loving this new approach to renovation videos. A big thankyou for all of the content in 2019 and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.🎅
excellent video, better and better, congratulations.
Great video.
Merry Christmas. waiting for part two
Good stuff, OK with the rant, no sweat with the microphone.
That SL125 was sweet looking.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
Appropriate timing considering Honda just built it’s 400,000,000 motorcycle since Mr. Honda built the first one using a surplus war engine added to a bicycle.
+Wayne Crews Love that you know that but knowing you, of course you did! Thanks Wayne!
These are my favorite videos with the history behind it
Looking forward to part 2, well done.
My first street bike was a 1967 Honda CB350. Merry Christmas Justin!
Love this format great history of Honda. I was just looking at your channel to see if you had any new videos and this one popped up :)
Awesome video, keep up the good work !
Thank you kindly for your awesome job, Justin looking forward to next year's content.
From my family to your family, Merry Christmas and the best to you all in the New Year.

Looking forward to the rest of the restoration. The background story would make Paul Harvey proud. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas.
Good job bro 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas Justin to you and your family!
Nice! Merry Christmas to you and Amy!
Good video bro
Merry Christmas
i love it.
That my friend was freakin awesome!
Love this kind of video. Informative and interesting. Might be even more like music to our ears if you talk a little slower. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Now THAT took me back!
Back in the mists of time ...... well 1978 ....... my first motor vehicle was a Yamaha FS1E. A year later I "graduated" to a Suzuki Hustler (250cc). Both bikes were rendered to their component parts as at least once in their lifetime in my shed ...
So seeing the rats nest in the headlamp and those bullet connectors took me right back to being 17 and knowing not only that I was right about anything I could care to express an opinion on, but to poses the sum global knowledge on all subjects of value ;0)
To be fair I could understand exactly how and why everything on those bikes did what it did ..... but time is a harsh mistress!
She takes and she gives! She has taken my shield of immortality and omniscient superiority and bestowed upon me the realisation that I am after all just a normal guy and (with the inevitability of a car wind shield hitting the back of my skull causing an interesting trip to A&E via a 45 min wait for an ambulance whilst I chewed tarmac) after a certain amount of introspection, the realisation that my life was my own destiny and that I had not been the most pleasant person on the planet, but I could be .... if I wanted! And I found I did want!
The realisation came to me that modern society is becoming more specialised and that while greater specialisation allows for the pushing of boundaries In That Specialism! Those areas of specialisms often do not communicate with each other though ..... and That is where innovation lies!
Let the specialists have their fields!
This is to the Generalists ...... All the best lads (and lasses) Each and every one of you!
Justin: all I can say is Thank You Brother...
Please hurry I’m very interested
I just recently was given sl125 and 75. Where do I get parts? Any advice I’d appreciate. Thanks
Any ideas on where I can get this engine or anything similar that would work thanks in advanced
A little tid-bit on todays information tect. When was 6 years old found a US sword dated 1914, in foot hills where I live in california. It had no handle or scabbard just the blade/hilt. Just today,used Google to try to find out type and info on what it was. It is a Patton's calvary sword. One in my condition /possession is not worth much but now know the back ground/ history/ and intended use. Nice to know but, in hind site, the years of unknowing and fantasy of it was a more interesting. Yet still have the wonders of how it got there and who lost it?
+Kyle Greer So cool! Very glad that you finally know the history!
God damn bro...this is the best resto you've ever done...love the history hoss.
Cant wait for pt2
I agree ave daughter probably knows more then the other girl just recently got put on magazines can't remember her name saw her on people mag ericthecarguy spoke about her on a recent video as well
Sorry, I glazed over at about the 4:37 mark. What did you say about fixing bikes? LOL just kidding. Love Honda, have had a few threw the years. Looks like you got a great one even if you were just doing a good clean up. Might be an idea to not do a full resto and leave it as a survivor. Merry Christmas
I Never knew
🇪🇨👍🏻
Did you ever make the other videos, showing you finishing it?
Not yet, I am building a large powder coat oven for the frame. I promise it's coming.
Y e s
so at least a two parter?
Thank you for an intelligent and entertaining commentary and video. I especially liked your term of “marionette puppet” to describe the Time Person Of The Year. Very accurate. Thanks again for your videos and channel. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
Is yours a sl125s model? The tank is different
How dare you. Lol.
5 minutes of laughing.
Any word in Japanese that ends on a consonant has an "O" tacked on to the end of it... most of the time anyway
Subtitle this "The OTHER Ichiro".
Holy cow dude write a book or something but I want you to talk more about what you're doing.
Rack and pinion growl? Great video though.
+Keith Brookshire Yeah! Search TH-cam for Warner horn. Very cool! They later became Stewart Warner
Was good when I turned the sound off !
There is a version with no voice over.
What the next project?
+BSSMALLENGINES After I finish this I have a few options. Might go for a rough restore.
The Good of the Land I got a old Briggs Engine I’m restoring now but I got to get my tractor fixed
The smell of the exhaust. Mmmmm lead poisoning. Lol
I sent u an email I hope u got it.
The Greta rant was on point.
...so where is the restoration part? You just disassembled a bike...
Merry Christmas
