Vaseline, talk about a cheeky pup ..................

All it needs is a top end?
Pity its water cooled, so probably a good bit missing

Well it's been a while but....last Jan I found Honda XL 185s from 1979 in a mates barn, complete with chicken muck. I had a half day off for my b'day, changed fuel, battery and plug, kicked it and kicked it for 10 mins, had a brew, took out plug and dried it out. Kicked it again and got a splutter of life, kicked again and it went, not worked for 7 yrs minimum.
Had pasty for lunch, brother picked me up and went for a couple of pints, back home, afternoon nap, out with missus at night best B'day I've had for ages
Bike now in rebuild mode, frame blasted and powder coated, wheels respoked, forks rebuilt, I'll put some photos up
