Explanation.

I bought a Honda motorcycle for my son. This was to be his first.

To say it was a mess is an understatement. It cost £300 so that gives you some idea of how bad it was. It sat in a garden, unprotected for four years.

Given our fantastic British climate you can imagine how much rust there was. Wheels brakes and bearings stuck.

After weeks and weeks of effort it is up and running and looking pretty. I would have loved this as my first bike!

Shame it's intended recipient has absolutely no appreciation :-/

I don't know if you are speaking of yourself in a mirror, or your beast of a motor-bike ;)

There is something immensely satisfying about bringing something to life, even if the recipient wont appreciate this as much as you do. Well done Craig, on the bike and the write.

Fantastic, like a frenzied Frankinstein scientist, you're a mechanic breathing life into what was once dead. 'He's alive!" You scream with blood dripping over your workshop floor.
