on strange occasions...

shinya found honda XL100 (SL100)
on saturday.

これ見つけて、買ってしまった木村氏。

 he's so happy.

he saw fully customized XL100 when he was 16
and has been a big fan of it since then.
now he got this not running condition bike
and says will restore it. will see...

上野のバイク街で部品を探している時に、
とある部品屋さんにいた常連客のおじさんに連れられて
見せてもらったのが、SLのチョッパー。
木村氏当時16歳。 そのバイクが凄くカッコよかったそう。
後にその常連客のおじさんというのが、
地獄商会のHさんだったことが判明。
ちっともおじさんじゃなく、当時20だったんだってさ、Hさん!

    Maybe you can design a tool box for this bike?
