Not that I need another project, but I'm addicted and couldn't turn this down. My sons hunting buddy has a cabin in Alaska back in 75 he bought this 125 to get around on. After a few years of riding he parked in the shed and it has sat there until this summer. He took it apart and loaded in the SUV and brought it home to Mich. My son knows how much I love the small bikes (well anything with wheels) so I finally went up this weekend for a visit and brought it home. Ron  |

Thanks cant wait to get started on it. Most of the bolts are for my 450 project. My garage (storage unit) is getting full its starting to feel like that Johnny Cash song about the Cadillac. Ron

Thanks, I got the wheels back under the old bike. Looks like all the parts are there. Want to get it all together load it up, go to the car wash and blow some of dirt and grime off. The tank looks real clean inside except a nice dent on one side. Going to flush the gas and oil tank out. Put some marvel oil in the cylinder, the plug was loose and signs of oil on the head. It turnes over with good compression glad of that. Pull the carb change the oil and see if it will run. I think for now I will clean it the best I can and call it good. To many project that I'm excited about for now. Ron  |
