A smile on my face

Hello from Greece
Firstpost here
My name is Giorgos
Back in 1997 i bought my first bike a used in excellent condition Honda C50e 12v 1986 model.
It is the same that were could be founfound in UK as it was imported from the official authorised dealer here.
With mpa speedometer etc.
I have so many good nemories with that moped, through my school years, to the army, etc
About 10 years ago i gave it to one of my cousin.
Cause he did not had a vehicle.and told him to take care of it for me.
A couple of bikes came along since then but the feeling/ connection i had with that C50 was not the same.
Times changed, my cousin had a family with two kids and he did not used it.
And i saw it one day in his garage sitting in a corner and i realise that it was time to come back home with me
So i m once again with the bike i always loved, and i will try to restore slowly.
Needs a lot of parts, but the basic is that from a first view there are not many rust issues.
I m so excited and happy with a smile on my face everytime i look at it!
Here it is on a trip back in 2010 .
I had a scooter and my cousin the c50.

So i will put some pics in the slow progress of the restoration
Thanks for your time and forgive my poor English
