Soo........ picked this winter project up today ready for the long nights.
I've been after one of these ohv engines as a base for a bike.
I've passed this bike stuck in someones garden for months and last night I plucked up the courage and knocked the door.
Turns out I know the lads mum through horsey circles.
£40 running and with documentation.
The engine is good and the CG 125 OHV copy.
The rest of it in the words of the seller "is made of monkey metal and I wouldn't sell it to my friends"
So the decision is whether to find a rolling chassis to put the lump into or stick with this one?
I'm looking to make an uber sparse cafe with no lights/electric starter/ and run it on a daylight only MOT.
