So, I just keep dragging things home...

I was thumbing through CL last night and saw a "87 Honda TRX 125" for sale for 200 firm.

Called the guy and shot the schlitz with him for a awhile, then went over to pick it up this morning.

Plastics are trash, needs two tires, but has electric start and fires right up...wiring has been goofed with, have to turn it off to start/etc.

Doesn't want to go into reverse, but what the heck, I've plenty for room for the kids to turn around.

Gonna see if my 3wheeler rear balloon tires and wheels are the same bolt pattern, then look for some fronts.

Oh, odd thing was when I got over there to pay the guy, I handed him 2 100 dollars bills, and he said "dang, I don't have any change on me".

So we went into town and I broke one of the hundreds, and he gave me 40 back... so 160 for it, what he heck, runs like a top and with some decent rubber will bake a good one for the kids to thrash on and not worry about keeping it clean/etc.

So now I'm waiting for a gent to show up to buy a small Evinrude outboard I had...might even break even on the day's deal

Nice. Not a bad days work eh? Plenty of room for more items to be brought home too. Gotta fill it all up, so it looks "used"

Wel, got a good deal on a set of front tires and rims today for it, had to order some rear tires...kinda dread changing them, such a PIA to change.

Looks like I should have her riding by the end of the week when the rear tires come in

Now you will need a ramp to get your four wheeler into the back of a truck so it is portable. Would it fit in the 4 ft gap between the wheel wells?

It fit just fine in Aleshia's pickup, it's fairly small.

But no need to worry about hauling it anywhere, it'll be spending all it's time around here.
