    Thanks my friend @faraomike! It was summer of '78, I was 12 years old and each noon an orange enduro 125, exactly like this one...

    would pass flat out in front of my house, where a dirt (sort of) road would be...
    Ahh, that sound and that orange color...

    Some job done on the Laverda, the front chromed mudguard is in really bad state, was found broken and badly scratched, so I will sand and paint it...

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Great work on this, Spiros @fiveten, the mudguard is looking very chromed.

    Wow this is looking great @fiveten, looks like a ton of work, but that mean good times. I have a real hate for HELLer kits but I think if I find one of these I may not be able to resist.

    Great progress, Spiros @fiveten
    The chrome is indeed impressive, just some tiny mirrors.

    Stalled for some time, my friend @chinesegeorge, mainly due to other projects being prioritised, but these are all excuses, right? To catch up with it soon!
