Still here guys, thanks for the concern.
Moved home and no internet. It's pretty difficult reading stuff on my phone in coffee shops. 😒

I've got a new winter hack I'm just preparing for the road, (mot etc) 2005 Kymco thats been sitting for 6 years. Only 3600 Kms on the clock. Starts first kick every time...even without a battery!


I also have a couple of job interviews coming up so hopefully things are looking up.
OH, the bike cost £0.00p.  ;D

Looks very like the engine is a Chinese clone of the CG125, if it is, it should be reliable, the only known weak point on the chinese version is the piston, but many people reckon putting a Honda piston in it makes it inburstable. :))

Kymco are Taiwanese they used to make engines for Honda under licence.My sister had one for a while the only weak point was the wheel bearings.

My very generous brother-in-law donated it. Otherwise it would still be in his garden in 2020.
