Honda MB5 project – Part 3 – by Gareth Davidson
Patience. That is a word that I have had to understand well and in full with this build. They always say good things come to those who wait and the long wait did not disappoint when I received all of the painted bits from MotoArt. They did a sterling job bringing the MB5’s body back to life and I couldn’t wait to get home to kick-start the assembly process once we had loaded them in my car. My father, who owned a Honda...

So, you can tell by the picture that we have stripped the old paint from our MB-5 and Neil from MotoArt is working his magic putting the life back into our little 50cc.

From the pics you will see that there are so many different customising options you can go with, so can you blame me for being confused?

Who is Garry Rothwell?
He is the founder of the UK stunt riding scene, taking his talents from the streets of Liverpool and sharing them with the rest of the world. I was a bit of a daft lad when I was a kid.

He didn’t work in the bike industry he ran a shop and...
