I had a drive over to see Paul today and took a bootload of bits for blasting. ( I really went to steal fungo`s carbs but they weren`t there.lol)
This is the start of the long overdue restoration of My 1976 Honda tl125s.
I bought this bike new in 1976, it cost £371, I ran it in for 500 miles or so then prepped it for trials, used it for a year or two on club trials then it was parked in the shed until about 1998 when i stripped it down to restore.
I eventually got the frame powdercoated around 2001 and its still under the bench wrapped in the bubble wrap it came back in...
I bought loads of nos bits for it over the last 20 years, and now I`ve finally decided to get my finger out and finish off what i started all those years ago.
Here`s the only pic I have of it when it was new.
I`ll start a bit of a thread on how its going if anyone is interested, but It will probably take a while to complete as its almost time to get the sd out for the summer, and riding is more important than restoring.
