I met up with a old friend of mine recently who I hadn't saw for quite some time and got talking bikes. I called out to his house to see his little Honda CZ100 Monkey Bike and it is a cracker. I think he said it was 1963 and he has spent a fortune restoring it but it is a real credit to him.
He also had this KMX200 which he bought new in 1989 then sold in 1999 and then bought it back in 2009 as a scrapper. He said it was completely ruined by then, it had been stolen at one time and had been totally butchered and wasn't really worth fixing. Because it had been his from new he decided to restore it and what a job he done the photo doesn't really do it justice it is mint.
He also has this RD again restored by him and again an absolute peach.

Most of the work on those bikes painting, engine rebuilds, carbs, welding etc.he done himself pretty much everything apart from the electro plating. He fabricated the rear brake pedal on the CZ100 from scratch and had it plated.
