Rock Out With Ya Cock Out
Ok so i got myself a little 1987 KH125 about 12months ago for the grand total of £150 (My god i love E-bay)
I went for the KH for three reasons:
1: Its a Two stroke
2: Its disc valve
3: It was cheap
It was a complete wreck been used as a field bike for years but this didn't bother me the engine is a good runner, the frame and forks are good and did i mention it was cheap??? Now incase you haven't noticed im kinda on a budget, luckily for me i own Noisy Chrome in Manchester UK and we do Metal Polishing, Chrome Nickel and Zinc plating, Bead/Vapour Blasting and all-sorts of other fun stuff as well as having quite a few random seats, fairings and other bits laying around just calling out to be used.
Now deciding on the style i wanted was easy a 60's racer with a full fairing, my farther in-law has been restoring 60's road racers for years and is the reason im mad about them check him out www.noisytoys.tk he's currently working on a Gus Kuhn Sealy Norton (Sex on a stick!!!!)
Im gunna get some stick for this next comment but 'Im not keen on Cafe Racers' (Sharp intake of breath) i can see the beauty in them and appreciate the amount of effort and skill that go's into building one but it's the big headlight that kills it for me, just like im not keen on Hayabusa's such a big heavy bike no,no,no not for me thank you very much. Each to his own i suppose.
Pic's to follow (once i find my old phone with them on)
