Honda SS50 Restoration - Epsiode 1

A project with a bit of a family history. In this series of three episodes I am going to restore my brother's Honda SS 50 that he owned for 25 years. This almost 50 years old bike is going to a new owner: our son. In this first episode I am starting with the rebuild of the rolling frame. I start off with a 10+ minute introduction about the background of this project. Please use the timestamps to skip ahead if you wish.
