Mechanical Mayhem

[Fizzer Thou]

I came across these in the shed the other day

These are from my earliest days of biking and it soon taught me how to take an engine apart and find out where the problem was.

The valve had split due to the timing having slipped and the toothless gearbox sprocket was too soft for the purpose.Both were from my CB125S back in the mid-'70s.

Anybody else had similar experiences?
