Took my Honda CM125CC for its MOT today and it passed. Got three advisories but nothing major and it was good to have another pair of eyes picking up on some bits that I had missed. It just goes to show how you can spend hours checking things over and can still miss things that are obvious when its pointed out.
This is a big milestone and for me completes phase 1 of the project which was to get the bike back together and road worthy again. I’m going to ride it a bit now before embarking on phase 2 which is to really bring it back to top condition with lots of re-chroming and a professional paint job.
I’ve already placed orders for some engine bits I know I will need and a full gasket set. The full engine rebuild will come later in the year along with stripping to the frame and getting the frame powder coated and the centre stand mount repaired. I still have a long list of things that are not perfect for me but for the moment I am just going to enjoy two wheels again…and don’t you just love that feeling of paying just 16 quid for your road tax!
