Today was a some what sad day, for it was the last day i will ever get to start one of my Hondas I restored over the past couple years. I have had 3 and completely restored each motorcycle, using all the original parts i could find. These are awesome Hondas produced before the cam chain modern sprot bikes and modeled after th original harley davidson motor. Push rod and tapets with cam gears. Nothing to ever break and as loud a motor as was designed to be. This last bike i sold today has points and condenser ignition.. I changed or upgarded the other two bikes to electronic ignition, but i must admit, l liked this one most of all. It starts up on the first time and it runs smooth and acelerates fast for a Honda motorbike. the original bikes were all 110 cc motors but i upgraded the first two motors combining the cb125 motor and gear box with my 110cc Honda motor. swapped the 4 speed gears for a 5 speed gear box. I also upped the piston size to 125cc swapping out the cyclinder jug for a an original 125 honda jug. This led to me having to adjust the cyclinder head and valves. I had the head bored out to fit the bigger cyclinder. Wow these bikes are great. Long live the Honda 125cc CG and the JX110 Honda. Two great bikes and too this day the old CG Honda 125cc model is still produced in Brazil, China and In europe? Any way i bought another Honda to restore, this time a Four speed 100cc Honda Dream. An original Honda Motrcycle imported from Japan. Japanese Bikes are the best quality for price on the market. Beating the cheap Chinese copies hands down.
Still i will miss the old bike, I had hoped to take it to the Mountains in Virginia and Use it to haul rocks and more after making a side car and attaching a side car. With a 3 wheeler or Side car i could haul a whole family and my dogs in the cart. Next time! I still make get the Honda Dream a side car as it has an expired title and the office of DMV wont offer any help with my trying to pay back taxes. Stupid DMV, I am trying to drive legal on the road and want to pay my tax and yet they are stuck over paperwork and locating the original owner to sign the release. Hum 17 years ago was the last time this Honda was licensed. And it went from two more owners never being registered in a new name. Why make it hard to be legal. this just encourages me to drive it like i have been... Unregistered and illegal! Oh well. I sold that one and now its time for new one!
