Yes My scooter brothers I have done it, 1986 Honda Helix, 3000 miles drove it home, needs the speedometer fixed and the body needs some work but it is solid! My Dad's friend drove it around Spruce Creek Fly in for its life, It has only had aviation fuel run in it for 29 years. I have a 2012 Gorilla Motor Works 150 with 400 miles on it that is getting sold. Honda is a whole different kinda ride, even 29 years old. I have got the fever even worse! I need to restore it ........HELP

The helix is the ugliest bike you will love from the very first ride. I loved my Chinese Helix clone but it had had way too much shade tree work in its short 1200mile life for me to really ever trust. I would love to come across a real HElix. You know if there aren't any photos it doesn't exist. LOL

 She needs some cosmetic work but mechanically its sound, The speedometer doesn't work, The tires have tread but For what I paid for the old girl I can get new tires and change the oil. |

No need for apologetics on that bike. I'm envious. Ugly is only skin deep. I think the only way to get a longer wheelbase is to buy a Goldwing or school bus. Rides like an EazyBoy. |

 The guy that owned it for the past 29 years is a fixed wing pilot. The maintenance was done on it but I don't think it has been wiped down in 20 years  |
