About this Blog

This blog is about the process of getting a 1979 Yamaha V90 stepthru scooter from shed (barn) find to a running and useable machine. The bike was bought by myself in the 1990's as nothing more than a temporary hack to work and back. That role I am happy to say it complete very well. Tuime moves on however and I soon found myself on four wheels with teh net result that the Yam found itself stored at the back of my fathers garage. There it stayed for the next 20 years till after my fathers death in 2015. On claering the various sheds out the bike was ehumed from its covered state and put to one side to await further attention or at the very least a decision on its fate. It was during this year that I decided to seel my uncles old AJS 500 CS18. This was an excellent machine and had only covered 16k miles, but having ridden it a few times, I decided it wasn't really my cup of tea. So this was duly put up for sale with the result that the funds from this could go to restorin

Above is a short 3 min 21 second file of the bike in it's current state. I have two replacement panels for those missing (both sides) not sure what dad did with those. I also have to find bolts to hold the seat on and also those of the leg shield. The bike is 1.845m long from the tech spec and weight 75kg so I will be hoping to investigate whether I can drop it into one of those towbar bike carriers. The only thing that might get in the way could be those leg shields. Will have to wait however till the towbar is fitted and I have the bike carrying bars. Next clip I will provide a diagram of the colour scheme I intend to use on the bike and the materials I will be using.
