Yamaha 125 Model Kit - Heller Humbrol
A 1/8 scale model kit I received as a present at Christmas 1983, built with the help of my father back then when I was 8 years old. Just finished restoring it after it had been sitting in a box in pieces, broken over the 28 years it's been in existence. This has special meaning to me because I had a real Yamaha 80 scramble bike at the time, these are now considered a classic. If I had the money and space I would love to have a 125 to go scrambling with in the local woods.

Needs some attention, but still rides very well. Originally acquired in about 1987-88 when I was about 14, I added the rear rack and Carradice saddle bag, handle bar lagging, mud guards, Cateye computer and Cateye headlight.
Tyres are Michelin Select. Wheels are Rigida 27 x 1 1/4.
Recent additions are the saddle (originally a leather Brookes, but this went hard and became very uncomfortable) and pump - had a Zefal originally too but it broke.
