From time to time, I make plans on what to do and how to do it. This time, I want to restore my motorbike to its original condition and bring it back to running condition. I guess, this will be low cost alternative than to drive a gas-drunk a 2.0 SUV. As far as I know, that scooter has been stuck up for about 3 years and last time that I have I driven it, I got into an accident injuring my limbs and of course wounds on my forehead because I did not wear safety gears. Well, I swear that after I restored that bike I am going to gear up with Olympia AST 2 Jacket that will fit my riding style and of course safety.
I like this one and I am getting excited with the restoration and the gearing up as well. Riding a bike is not like driving a car because what you look like depends on what you are wearing right?
]]>It has been less than half a year since my scooter, a Honda Dio Limited Benetton Edition started and been used. Because of my disappointing experience with the police who sued me for not wearing a helmet, I lost the will to ever drive my scooter again. I left it on our garage without even touching it (but I used to sit there while smoking my cigar). Then there came a time when Im so eager to use it but the engine just won’t start, I kept on guessing what the problem is. Maybe the oil tank dried up, the battery dried as well or some unexplainable factor that I do not know.
Last night while I was out drinking with some friends, brothers in community, Carlo suggested that we will fix my Dio the next day. Then there came this day while the sun reached at its highest I have decided to read New Moon then an hour later Carlo rang our doorbell and asked me if he can check my dio. I gathered the required tools for the operation of my Dio then we started tearing it apart. Luckily he managed to point where the problem is. The spark plug was busted, the gasoline expired, the battery ran low. ( I am right all along with the last two problems). He bought the Plug with my money, cleaned my gas tank and refuel it with his reserve, install it again on the Dio then kick started it. Finally! it fired up after a very very long time.
We’ve ran a series of road test and came up with another problem, the brakes, the fanbelt, the headlight are not in a so good condition as if my Dio had been in a very bad accident. After everything is put back to normal, pertaining to the parts and the body kit he asked me to bring it to a nearby shop as soon as I can so that it will be followed up with a professional aid. I paid him the gas that he transferred to my tank then a little extra for his work. I am glad that my scooter is not just a junk after all, a little tweaking shouyld make it in better shape and once everything else is done I will sell it and maybe buy a new one. It is all thanks to my friends who patiently repaired my time devastated Dio. Thanks bro!
