This the first real motorcycle I ever rode. My older cousin bought this new in 1970 paid $980.00. First rode this at age 13. I took this picture in my uncles barn recently, still turns over but wont start. I remember that first ride like it was yesterday.
 
Thats sweet! You should clean that up and get her running. There are still a ton of parts available for those old Hondas on Ebay. My friend finished a 1968 CB125 not too long ago for minimal dollars and it looks and runs like new.
 
My Uncle's has a country place...

An old machine in your Uncle's barn. Reminds me of a Rush song. You really should get it shined up and running. Very cool.

Lucky for me I'm the favorite cousin

I think thats a 72 or 73 RD 250, when I was a little dude he had Yamaha Big Bear 250. If you remember those you must be a little gray on top like me. I've been trying to get my hands on that SL 350 for years. He's older than me he cant hold out forever.
