I'm doing practically the same as you with a 25 year old CB 250 nighthawk and it is in bits all over my wife's kitchen so I have to get it in a bit better state and maybe our marriage will have a wee bit longer to go, I'm really rusty on the tools but it is good to do the work and bring the past experience into the present, spares for these older machines are not easy to find and the prices are not appealing so a lot of repairing and mending and painting, I haven't even been able to find a carb for the honda that is under 250 quid, I think it will take the winter and maybe a bit longer to make a nice bike out of a scrapped one

At the moment I have a Moto Guzzi Nevada in really good original condition, nice and clean and not a lot of rot, for an Italian bike, only 5k on the clock and I don't think I'll be putting many more on it, the bike is too heavy for me to be able to wheel it around, even getting it out of the garden is too much for me, health is something I used to have, but the wee honda CB nighthawk is a bit better and it's a little belter, easily keeps up with the traffic in town and I'm fortunate to live out in the sticks with country roads and just the drunk drivers and the recent influx of drivers who have no licence or insurance or ability, but they are here to better their lives and good luck to them with that, I have driven in Cairo with a bus and it was an experience not to be repeated I am sure a lot of the immigrants passed the Egyptian test., it's half 1 in the am and time for a beer and sleep

byI have a 2000 CB 250 which I am in the process of making it a little bit nicer and really enjoying the process after a long time not working with anything mechanical , these little beauties are my most recent machines this century
