I'm in the birdshit brigade but at least it's not ruining anything cool!

That second pic of the Hemela just ruins the whole thing.

Pity as he's demonstrably capable of good engineering.

You do him an injustice Greg, hes far more capable than.,. only good engineering.
The flaking paint (cause it was done over 30 years ago) would make it look worse than it probably is.

I was bronze welding better than that in the mid 60's.

You can be a brilliant engineer/designer/developer but still be crap at welding...I'm well aware there are areas i fall short on, we've all got them...

We all wanted the RG but could only afford the RZ, the KR was probably the best bike.

Gilera made a tandem twin 125 mxer, I know of only 1 disc valve honda that was a 125 mxer raced in the All Japan mx championship only (it's not at the Collection Hall), Honda did make a RC125M twin mxer (with RIBI front end) but that was a reed valve. That bike is featured in VMX mag No26.

never seen this one the intake looked suspiciously round.
the RS500/MVX/nsr400 article i posted mentioned the disk 125 twin with disk valve maybe this was a version of it,or maybe not......bugger

Keeping with the theme (in a milder manner)

I had an earlier model of one of these rotary valvers (it had way more power than the comparable piston port motors of the day)

Appart from the power, were they not horrible bikes!

I aspire to birdshit, - but that's a $300 gasless mig for ya. It was supposed to be a stepping stone but I'll have to put off a decent welder probably till the kids leave home.
