Blade Diaries Pt.12 - Breakdown + Bodge-job!

After the eventful but successful MOT pass I took BumbleBlade for its first ride… Guess what? It broke down 😫

This is Part 12 of my attempt to restore a 1997 Honda Fireblade CBR900RR-V. The motorbike has not been started since 2016. I also believe it housed a family of rodents at some point…

This is my first blade and a kind of dream since I was a kid (now I’m a big kid).
