Blood, Sweat, and Tears

You are looking at a 1981 2-stroke Honda Express SR NX50m moped complete with electric (and kick) start, 12V system, horn, turn signals, auto choke, Honda Vmatic automatic transmission, the works.

I found it in Allison's parent's barn in pretty rough shape, having not been running in years with a lot of parts broken and missing. After taking apart literally every nut and bolt and rebuilding the entire thing, it now runs perfect. I put in $120 total into it, and as you can see, it now sports a custom bra and seat cover (thanks Allison and Susan), basket, and custom body panels and fenders hand crafted myself from barn roofing.

Since it's under 50cc's, you don't need a driver's license, registration, insurance, plates, or title to drive it in Colorado. So, I took it all apart and packed it into the Subaru and brought it to Boulder. Gets 100 miles to the gallon. Say sumin'.




















Jealous?
