    Found a 1996 Honda CR125 on FB for cheap and decided to restore it. It was "clapped out" as they say.. meaning pretty trashed.

    Tore it down to the frame to rebuild correctly and inspect/replace all that needs it. It's the only way to truly trust and ride a bike this neglected

    Lots of work done to the frame and motor

    More progress

    Finally got it together




    Then came the fun part. Designing out the graphics for it. A shit ton of time measuring, getting it into illustrator, printing it on regular paper, mocking it up on the plastic, tweak this, tweak that, do it over again. Prolly 3 rounds. Hope I get it right. It printed today and I am excited to put it on when it arrives. I gave the Qoob some love. Also dropped a Fabuloso logo on there because my shit is clean and also I thought it would be random as hell and funny.
