What a weekend!!
After officially selling the '96, Me, an' me good mate made a trip to Hamz Friday night to pickup the tatty but newer bike.
The new hack is a 01 Honda CR125. and has recently had a top to bottom rebuild, I still don't trust it though, I'll have it apart again in about 5-10 hours of ride time for a topend and decent inspection. (when we ran it it smelt like a lawn mower.... probably been treated like one 2 ... :oi-grr: )
It needs some serious TLC . When we saw it, it looked like it had been riden in the mud for about a week and left in the sun to bake on for a few months! faded plastics, rusty chain, worn rear tyre, mouldy air filter, bent bars, and dried mud everywhere! Lucily handed over nowhere near the market value for it though.
We've started dismantling for cleaning (and polishing that nice alloy frame =D ) and to make up a list of parts needed to get it up to the normal immaculate condition our past/current rides.
Below - Just arrived
