RUST&RUIN // VINTAGE REPAIRS
VEHICLES COME AND GO
At Rust and Ruin, we wish we could keep them all, but hoarding vintage motorcycles and Busses isn't good for anyone….So here are a few of our current projects in the shop that are either on their way in or ready to roll out.
See something you like? Want to learn more about it? Contact Rust and Ruin and let us know.
84' XR100s
Affectionately known as the "Red Headed Sluts", these girls get you where you need to go and in style.
This prick stinks so bad we have to roll around with some freshness
82' Trac // Eagle
The moped known as Dick Kay.
Another moped that was kicked into the corner of the garage and forgotten until we showed up and brought it home. The gas smelled like it hadnt been used in years.
Stripped and ripped. Just waiting for the belt to snap.
75' Honda // XL250
This bike looks like it just rolled off of the showroom floor and into the Rust & Ruin garage like it was still 1975 (with one small dent in the tank)
Able to carve up a wooded trail or do 60+ on the highway. More photos to come.
Started from the bottom now we here
69' Honda // CB350
The Lot Lizard. 1969 Honda CB350 SuperSport with modified scrambler pipes and a DIY headlight grill. Patroling the dark reccesses of your city looking for a good time.
This bike makes everyone feel all uncomfortable in their britches.
74' Honda // CB550F
Tommy Johns is a 1974 Honda CB550F beast with four into one exhaust. An emaculate example of the Japanese enginering of the mid 70s.
All Power - All day.
77' Westfalia
This Berlin model Westy is very orginal and has been running extremely well for the past view years (knock on a wood cabinet).
Originally from California it was shipped to New Jersey for a corner store owner to use as a weekend get away and product hauler. Then sold to acollege student in upstate New York before being sold to a couple in Minnesota before coming to the Rust & Ruin stable.
77' Westfalia
This Westy is the Deluxe model with "full" kitchen and bell and whistles.
It came to the Rust & Ruin family a bit neglected, but it was back on the road and running well before long.

58' Allstate
This is a 1958 Allstate. This scooter is a head turner everywhere we ride it. Its rough, but with most machines "rough" equals character.
Originally it sported its Cornflower Blue paint (which can be seen in a few spots), but was painted over with a bizarrely close in color Teal house paint. Still sports its original Sears i.d badge.
Currently in the process of upgrading to a Bajaj motor under the cowl.
64' Peugeot // BB1.C
The Moonraker - This 50cc Peugeot made its way to the Rust and Ruin shop all the way from France. Then we repaired it and sold it - only to see it pop up on Craigslist so we traded to get it back.
Rebuilt the engine and fitted it with some nice knobby tires and had a blast on this thing. Takes us any and everywhere in style.
81' Motobecane
This is a 1981 Motobecane Romp. A 49cc moped that is made in Taiwan. It is the
same as a Mobylette that was made in France for years, but when Motobecane went out of business in 80' a Taiwanese Co. started reproducing them under the Romp badge.
