The other day I went shopping for a flathead Ford engine for my 35 Carrolet. I bought an engine from an old man who alsao had a very unique bicycle sitting there. After a quick haggle, of course said bicycle returned to my place of leisure. Looking at the bike (it is a beaut, with linkage brakes, etc...) I was looking at the badge on the headstock. After pulling up a little house paint (someone had tried to put the J.C.Higgins arrow on it) I discoveren the bike was made by Honda. Futher research determine that this was a early prototype of the 1947 Honda. Lastly reserch seems to indicate that this is the 6th built, and Mr Honda built this for his bride!!!

    It is always fun to see the collectables that show up in an old car nuts shop. Will we soon see a Honda 90?

    Do you think he would have risked insulting his new bride by equipping this bike with a decent sized seat? Wow, that one looks like a killer.
