My ticket to the mechanical world!

in Hive Motors3 years ago
  • As a teenager I had a Honda cf50 modified to 110cc. It was really fun to ride, at the age of 15 it was like i was riding a 1000cc super bike. As years passed i forgot it, cars attracted my attention and my mini bike stayed in the garage alone. I thought the bike world was an untouchable and distant dream for me.

  • And there I go, at the age of 23 i bought an old, beated Honda (again) cm250c, 1983 model witch needed a full rebuild to operate as it was soppused to. Also there was a time where i was inspired by cafe racers and scramblers, and after all i decided to custom it as i was dreaming to. This is where the big time began.

  • On my way trying to built the bike as I wanted it to be, it showed me that I need to learn some mechanic skills. I decided to study mechanics, and so I did at the same time I was building the bike.

The whole bike went striped down. Modify and powder cotte the frame, change avery little and big bearing, strip down the engine, change pistons, rebuilt the cylinder head, change cam chain.

  • With every mechanic part working properly it's time for some custom parts. Custom seat and dashboard, new gadges, new frond light and custom tail lights from purpose-builtmotorcycles, new handlebars and custom controls, also rear suspension and new fork springs.

2 years out of hard work and stady, there is my bike as I wanted it.
10000 km of joy, on road and of course off road, hiting dirt roads on the side, a nice and full of knowledge trip.

Cool bike bro, tell me how do you feel when driving it, are you having any problem with it or wanna fix something about it?

Thank you very much, oh driving this bike fells like riding a bmx bike back in my 12's, the stance fills like it to, no problems at all just one little change if i had the option,softer rear suspension but i also like it stiff cause it's spinning easy like a flat tracker.

Welcome back broooo and damn your moto is looking cool!

It's nice to be back! I waiting forward to share more expiriences with the community!
