I miss my old airhead. Those bikes are pretty simple and so satisfying to work on.
I got my 12 year old a model R90S engine for Christmas. It was fun putting it together. Not much difference from the real thing except it was smaller and made out of clear plastic. I think the gearbox was my favorite part - - I'd never taken my real one apart so it was fun to see how it all worked.
I didn't care for the brakes on the real bike. Brakes have come a long way in 40 years. But the rest of the package was mechanical bliss.
